the DOPE By VEDDER GARD

S-JOME of these days we are going to see a college L—_ freshmen basketball team that doesn’t look good. But probably it won’t be in Indiana, There are too many good high school netters entering the institutions of higher learning and higher sport activities. > Out af'Butler Thursday night the Blue and White yearlings showed plenty of class in downing the Franklin first year snipers. Little White of Mooreland was “on.” lie is another Chadd in floor work and seems to have even a better eye for the net. probably will make Chadd so sore he’ll get half a dozen two-pointers in the Franklin and Wabash games). White lost a tooth in the fracas (anyway it was knocked out, although not lost). The Moorelaml youth picked it up and gave it to Coach Hinkle for safe keeping. The little accident did not affect his playing, however. Ife kept right on rambling. Chandler, former Technical player, started at the other forward and proved a shifty, clever performer. He is rather slight of build but the coaches say he can stand the bumps. Horton'of Monrovia jumped center. He is a steady player who knows the game. Coach Curtis of Monrovia, the ttjam that just won the Tri-State championship at Cincinnati for the second straight time, was on hand to see his protege perform. There are a couple other Monrovia hoys on the freshmen squad who did not get into the fray Thursday. Red Froniuth of Ft. Wayne played floor guard. He is not as good on the hardwood as on the gridiron, but is of the type that will develop. Bill Bugg of Bainbridge, as broad as a house, was at hack guard. He is plenty tough even if he did get knocked cuckoo on one occasion the other night, He just “shook it off” and was ratin' to go in a minute or two. Malone of Manual and KCach of Seymour, also got into the battle. It is said the “frosh” give the varsity some merry tussles, and the way they played Thursday one can easily see how such things are entirely possible. They do teach ’em to guard out there at Irvington. The freshmen have the same smothering tactics used so successfully by the varsity. t* * * I".. J I INCENNES finally is going |yl to have anew gym. A holdL, I ing company has been organized in Alice-towi) and a huge SIOO,OOO coliseum is to be built adjacent to the present gymnasium. There is a big lot right next door to the junior high school which is centrally located and offers an ideal site for the new structure. The building which will seat 6,000 will be completed for next season's games. Some of the live wires at Vincennes have been working on the idea for some time and things at last have come to a head. Arrangements ‘have been made for floating a loan of SIOO,OOO by the four building and loan associations of the city. Articles of Incorporation of the holding company were forwarded to the secretary of State, Thursday. Coach Adams well deserves a suitable floor for his teams which are consistently strong each year. The present playing floor is small and a balcony juts opt on each corner. Not only Vincennes will welcome the news, hut other schools as well. The Alices sure are tough on their own small floor. They know every angle ahd hit the basket with deadly accuracy. Which is all perfectly O. K. However, with a larger playing space, opponents will not be handicapped by unusual conditions. Coach Adams also welcomes the change because his team will not be forced tp practice on a small floor and then in away-from-heme contests get out into what looks like the wide open spaces to the Alices. • * * mNDEPENDENT amateur basketball tourneys are getting under way this weekend in various parts of the State, according to Wayne Einmeimann, head of the Independent Netters’ Association. A number of the meets already have been held. In one of the largest sectionals in the State, the Gary Mechanics won over thirtyone other clubs in a tournament held at Gary. Brownsburg copped in the New Augusta meet. Plainfield took the honors at Advance. Von Crowe’s Huntington Athletics came out on top in the sectional held at Ft. Wayne. Van Buren was winner at Fairbanks. These teams will be seen in action at the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. in the final tourney for the State title on Feb. 25, 26 and 27. * * A tip to football coaches who want long term contracts: Get into communication with Indiana University about that year-round grid job. So far, Sliaughnessy of Tulane and Solem of Drake have been considered seriously by the I. F. faculty athletic committee. Both have been signed up, but not by Indiana, Tulane and Drake gave the mentors contracts for ten years. • * * SHE usual week-end Big Ten basketball games are on tap. We must try and pick some winners. Just why this has to be done is rather a mystery. We shouldn’t have ; started it. Wish we could get out of expressing an opinion on the Illinois-Tn-diana game tonight. It looks like a toss-up. Illinois gets the edge, but we are pulling for I ,U. On Saturday Wisconsin is likely to beat Purdue, Ohio State to beat Michigan and Northwestern to beat lowa. We believe most firmly in the last two predictions.

TOSSING SPORT IS WINNER Basketball Now Helping Colleges of Middle West Over Financial Hurdles. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Basketball has won the undisputed title of “second college sport” so far as the Middle Western universities are concerned. While rowing and hockey are so popular among the eastern colleges and in many of them are considered more important than basketball; the Middle West has favored the cage game more and more each year until now it comes second only to football in interest. Whereas a few years ago basketball was a “losing” game from the financial standpoint, it is now a moneymaker and is more than able to stand on its own feet. Basketball receipts at some of the Big Ten institutions are being added to the football fund to pay the losses involved In baseball, track athletics, wrestling and intramural sports. Statistics show that 315,000 fans will have attended the sixty games on the regular Big. Ten schedule and that more than 75,000 witnessed the games preliminary to the regular conference race. This makes an average of more than 5,000 spectatprs per game and the proceeds have far surpassed the expenditures. The fact remains that most of the conference games are "sell-outs” and that many thousand fans are disappointed because they cannot get tickets. Several of the universities are planning new field houses with special accommodations to seat 10,000 to 15,000 spectators. TRACK MEET Quadrangular Relay Carnival at Northwestern, Bu l nitrd J rrss EVANSTOM. 111., Feb. 19.—A number of outstanding track stars of the Big Ten Conference will be seen in action here Saturday night when Northwestern, Wisconsin, Ohio and Chicago hook up in their third annual quadrangullar relay carnival.

Richards and La Coste, both youngsters are generally regarded to he thl successors to William T. Tilden if the world’s champion should retire. Richards defeated La Coste here hist summer and he was the favorite to win today as La Coste does not know' as ~n|ich qbout the indoor game as Richards does and he has been having difficulty figuring the lights. All the players, however have been complaining about the •lighting conditions resulting from fog and clouds of soft coal smoke. Tilden (Should Win Bill Tilden, who is rlaying real championship tennis, ought to defeat Jean Borotra ns easily as he chooses. Borotra gave the champion a fright last summer but Tilden was trifling a bit and he will not be caught again. Jacques Krug non, manager of the French team, has more of a chance to get into the semifinal round Saturday than either La Coste or Borotra. He was to play Frank Hunter. Thursday’s play in the tourney was devoted tw doubles matches., Scores: Jacques Bnumon. captain of the "Three Muska leers' from Franco, and Luis Dailey of New York defeated Gregory .Mairin and C.

What They’re Saying

If Harry Greb doesn’t run out of opponents (customers he calls ’em) he’ll be able to match Jack Dempsey’s bank roll, providing his many social engagements don’t come too expensive. Californians can not recover from the manner in which Harry plastered their best middleweights and lightheavies despite the fact he did his road work dancing in a road house. Andy Lotshnw, Indianapolis, trainer for the Chicago Cubs, is being called “Windy” again. As one scribe put it: "The big fellow puts out conversation in volume.” An Indianapolis man “treated” his wife to a haircut on her birthday and she got even with him by telling the barbers he often slept in his socks. UPSET DOPE Ramblers and Y. M. C. A. Finalists in Amateur Meet. The Ramblers and Y. M. C.

Howard was best for the Ferndales with five from the field. The Y. M. C. A. team piled up such a commanding lead in the first period against the Y. M. H. A. club that the Jewish boys could not catch up. At the half-way mark the “Y” led 16 to 6. Blllger was the big noise for the winners. Sackoff was leading scorer for tho Y. M. H. A.
