\riRRIN’ ) the DOPE By VfiDDER OABD

IARTINSVILLE High School basketball team > ___ iiag run into some tough luck. Francesconi, a regular forward, and an important cog in the smooth-working machine which has run up fifteen straight victories, will not be aj>le to play tonight against Marion. It is a tough break at the time of one of the most important contests of the year. The young Italian net star has had a real siege of illness and has been threatened with pneumonia. He is getting better now, but will not be at the gym tonight. He must remain at home in bed while his mates do their best to overcome the handicap of his absence. Either Thomas or Wooden will take his place. And that’s not all. Whitaker, the center, also has been under the weather. He will play tonight, but his fitness will be a question not answered until the actual conflict. Coach Curtis of Martinsville was a bit diffident about giving this Information to the public. He thought that the fans might think he was sending out “bear” stories ,ov attempting alibis. We assured him that this would Tnot be the case, especially as Francesconi positively would not play. And don’t think that the Artesian City lads are whipped before the game starts. As Curtis said: “We believe we can beat them anyway. The boys are going to fight all the harder.”

High School will M Participate in an inrital ir M tional basketball tourney on Saturday at Brownsburg. The Red and White club starts things off at 2 p. m. in a game with Jamestown, a team which hds won fourteen out of fifteen contests. The 3 p. m. game is between Ben Davis and Brownsburg. The two afternoon winners meet at 8 p. m. in the final battle. • * * That latest sensation of the turf, Willie Garner, rode in six races at Jfew Orleans Thursday and was in the money five times. He won two, was second twice and- third once. In the first three events those two great little jockeys, Garner and Johnson, were "one, two.” •• • ' Speaking of appropriate names and correct combinations, Jockey Blind rode- Baggenbaggage to victory in the fifth event at Fair Grounds track Thursday. Sort of a "blind baggage” ride. * * • B’IILL INGRAM’S many friends were glad to learn of the former Indiana University coach’s appointment to a similar position at the Naval Academy. The Navy football coaching staff for next season will bo more or less of a family affair, with Commander Jonas H. Ingram, the new athletic director, and his younger brother William in charge of things. It is thought that the elder Ingram will take active part in the coaching, with Bill as his assistant. The former Crimson mentor will take charge of spring practice. The net" athletic director does not take cner his duties until June. Meanwhile, at I. U. the athletic bofird is searching for anew allyear coach. One might say that the coaches are searching for the I. U. job. Letters continue to pour in. The committee is investigating many of the applicants and Athletic Director Clevenger is carrying on correspondence with several. A meeting to have been held this week to consider the selection of a coach has been postponed until next week in order to allow the committee more time for investigations. • * • Ar— ACCORDING to all the dope we can gather this Murphy of Marion Is not only long in stature but long on scoring. Ho has improved greatly since last year and is a hard man for any team to stop. His great height enables him to get many shots around the basket, but he does not stop there. He sinks them from the middle of the floor in deadly fashion. The bean pole is the ace of the attack. Next in point of effectiveness in adding up the points is the floor guard, R. Chapman. His cousin, E. Chapman, at forward, comes next. Overman, the other forward, has his “on” nights, when he roils ’em in. Kilgore, at back guard, is playiifg his first year, but is doing a good job, and getting better. Marion has been making ’so many points that a few by the opposition have not mattered so much. A real test of the team’s strength comes tonight in the Martisville contest.

YANKEE’S DRIVE IS AMAZING Helen Wills Uncorks Real Tennis Power—Unruffed by Paris Complaint. Bu United Press CANNES, Jan. 29. —Another day of unwelcome idleness was forced on Helen Wills, American tennis champion, today when rain broke up play In the Gallia tournament and caused a postponement. Little vconcern was expressed by Miss Wills over the complaint made by a Paris paper that she is acting in violation of the amateur rule in writing comment for publication regarding the tournament here in which she is playing. She said she was acting within her rights and not violating the amateur rules. The ferocious manner In which Miss Wills disposed of Miss 'Lillian Cadle Tuesday, opened the eyes of the critics and caused them to amend the opinions they have been expressing about her chances in a match against Mile. Lenglen. It was the unanimous opinion that nothing like the power of Miss Wills’ game ever had been shown by a woman player and by few men stars in Europe. NO COMPLAINT IS FILED Tennis Officials Say Helen s Status Is Up to French. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—N0 action will be taken by the United States Lawn Tennis Association, on the charge made in Paris that Helen Wills, American champion, is violating the amateur rule until a complaint is filed officially by the French Tennis Federation. The American rule prohibits a player from writing commentson any tournament in which he is playing until three days after the tournament, but American officials hold the rule does* not apply in the case of Miss Wills. She i 8 in France as an individual and not as a representative of American tennis, and as such she is hound only by the amateur rules of thf country in which she Is playing. If she is acting in violation of any French rule, it will be up to the liench officials to draw up a complaint, specifying the violations and submit it to the American association before any action can be taken.
