The Bright-Aurora contest is second on the program. Rising Sun also is at the Aurora center. What could be more appropriate? Many Anderson fans shudder from recollections of last year when they i-ea-d on the schedule this season—lo a. in. Saturday, Anderson vs. Lapel. Bluffton may be the sectional center, but there are three other centers in that tourney: Liberty Center, Chester Center and Union Center. If there is any trouble in that meet Petroleum can be called on to pour oil on the troubled waters. They are not holding back the thrills at Crawfordsville. Waynetown and Crawfordsville meet in the first game at 2 p. m. Friday. The same goes for Shelbyville, where Columbus and Shelbyville clash right off the bat at 1 p. m. Friday. j _ IREEDOM and Patricksburg H I meet Friday evening at I Li I Spencer. It was a fellow ' by the name of Patrick who once said: “Give me liberty or give me death!” Patricksburg’s slogan is: “Give us Freedom or we don’t care what happens!” Economy and Short get together at Richmond Friday night. They may decide on fiveminute lialves. The Owensville tourney is worthy of the Gods. Mt. Olympus will be there. Jasper sectional takes on an international aspect. Holland and Ireland are in the first scramble of the tournament. Lay down those bricks! * * f AMONG the referees IndianJ I apolis has drawn a bird, ii .I His name Is Schwan. Another seems to be not in the best of shape. He is Wann. To off set this there is a Hale official at Kokomo. Evansville teams had better be careful, as there is a Heller on the job. Martin Luther is at Aurora. Black and Babb seem to be the most euphonious pair while Harry Coolman appears the best fitted by name for his job. Martinsville is certain to have Bills to pay. Bacon will be furnished at Rushville as part of the entertainment. • * • The high school students will le reminded of their first glimpse into the mysteries of Latin at Danville sectional. Amo is there. l Amo, amas, amat—l love, you love, he loves—but why speak of unpleasant subjects. Basketball holds the stage. * *■ • mHE South Side Turner basketball team will go to the National A. A. U. Tournament to start on March 15 at Kansas City. Coach Meyer said today that the following men would make the trip: Howard, Mitchell, Thatcher, Captain Eberg, Roberts, Davis, Hutchinson and Spaulding. Grimsley may be the ninth man to go. Meyer will be in charge. The K. C. endeavor will not be a new venture for the local club. The team was at the tournament two previous times. Last year practically the same team made the trip. Howard and Spaulding are two new players. \ In the 1925 tourney* the Turners were defeated by the Denver Boosters by one point. Meyer believes the club has a metter chance this year because of knowing just about what it is up against. The addition of Howard and Spaulding also has strengthened the squad considerably. As far as known the Turners will be the only Hoosier representative in the national tourney.

were talking the other Vy day to an athlete who I graduated from Butler. He had been a member of Coach Page's basketball teams. The former net player made a remark concerning Pat which hit the nail on the head. He said that Page was a wonderful judge of men. What better compliment than that could a coach receive? That is his job—to judge men. This basketball player went on to say that Page sometimes started different combinations against different teams. His players often wondered just why it was done, but before the game was over they knew. Page had sized up the opposition and had matched their performers with his own men in such a way as to get the best results. While on trips Butler played teams never seen before. But Pat with uncanny perception classified the opposing players. He rated them from observation as they practiced and made his plains accordingly. The best example of tills was in Hie national A. A. U. tourney at Kansas City, won by Butler, during the season 0f’1923-24. In this meet Butler met all styles of play in individuals and teams. Page varied his line-up and plan of attack and defense to meet the different situations with remarkable success. Even rival coaches admit that Page is smart. And his former player made a bullseye when he remarked that Pat’s greatest asset was his intuitive judgment of men. % PHILLIPS ENTERS MEET Capt. Herman Phillips of Butler will compete in the national A. A. U. indoor track carnival at Chicago Saturday. It is not decided what events tho local athlete will enter. He won the 1,000-meter race at the Illinois redays last Saturday, and probably will be seen in a middle-distance event at Chicago. He may try the mile.
