The State final high school basketball tourney will be held in Indianapolis this year, March 19 and 20. The board of control so decided hi a meeting at Anderson. It was thought the time was too short to carry out any changes in the r*lan this season which would taken the big show away QPf-om this city. Indianapolis is the logical spot ■ for the meet. All of the trouble comes from finding a suitable place to play. The State board of agriculture for some reason or other “soaks” the high school association a plenty for the use of the Exposition Bldg. This year the rental asked Is $3,000 t which does not include heat, light, etc. The State authorities also want the I. H. S, A. A. to sign a lease for a number of years. The huge building would be standing idle if the tourney was not held so if the board of agriculture makes SIOO it ought “TO be satisfied. But then the members may not be basketball fans. * • • “Welcome, Shootln’ Em and Stoppln’ Em.” That was a foxy layout you had on the first day of 1926.

Baseball keeps Its spot In the heart of many, and the youth of the land still loves the game. The Playground and Recreation Association of America, In a statement, says that there has been an increase In amateur baseball, especially in larger cities, where additional fields have been provided. Give the lads a chance in the spring and furnish them a place to play and you’ll see plenty of baseball.

4 MAJOR GOLF TITLES CHANGED HANDS IN ’25 Same Number of Links Crowns Retained by Champions —Rowing and Hockey Sports Reviewed.

Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 2—Four of the major golf titles changed hands during a most successful season in 1925 and the other four championships remained in the same hands. Bobby Jones, perhaps the most outstanding American golfer of the season, won the national amateur championship for the second successive year and forced Willie McFarlane into a playoff in the national open. In beating Jones in the “open,” McFarlane succeeded Cyril Walker as' the American champion. Miss Glenna Collett, 1922 American woman champion, staged one of the most pleasing comebacks of the season and won back the title held in 1924 by Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd. Barnes Unseats Hagen Jim Barnes contributed further to American prestige in foreign competition when he won the classic British open championship and replaced Walter Hagen, the brilliant American, who carried off the 1924 honors. v Robert Harris became anew champion when he succeeded E. W. E. Holderness as the British amateur champion. Walter Hagen, considered by many qualified critics to be the greatest money player in the world, retained his championship by winning the P. G. A. title. Miss Joyce Wethered, who was declared by Glenna Collett as the finest woman golfer in the world, retained the British’ woman’s title that she won In 1924. Because of the heavy expenses involved there were no Walker Cup matches In 1925, but the series between the British and American amateur teams are to be resumed in 1926.. • Radical improvement in the college game was observed and the class has been lifted to such a prominent place by the number and ability of the competitors that it had almost a major national rating. New College Champ Fred Lamprecht of Tulane, also a star player on the varsity eleven,

won the championship and replaced Dexter Cummings, the 1923 and 1924 champion. Lamprecht was almost as good on the gridiron as he was on the links. One of the features of the 1925 Intercollegiate rowing season was the end of the Washington regime at Poughkeepsie and the continuation of Yale domination on the Thames. Another Navy crew, almost equal to the eight that won the Olympic championship in 1924 and two titles on the Hudson, defeated Washington in the Poughkeepsie intercollegiate regatta after a drive that nearly pulled their hearts out to the very finish. Yale, with the new coaching system of Ed Leader, swept through another great season and gave Harvard a rowing lesson on the Thames In their annual four-mile race. Hockey Flourishes Increase of interest In hockey, both amateur and professional, also was noticed late in the year. Tex Rickard drew a crowd of 17,000, including many of New York’s fashionables, Into his new Garden to see his New York team open the' home season of the National League schedule. Yale adopted the Rickard Garden as its home rink and about twentyfive other college games have been scheduled for the season. The amateur players also revived a league that passed out of existence several years ago because of the lack of suitable rinks. Rickard’s Influence, felt in the presence of a $5,000,000 structure that can provide sufficient space for anything but an automobile race, was felt late In the year, and It, no doubt will boom every class of sport in the coming years.
