splendid demonstration this ~ morning on the Monument steps. The yells were spontaneous. They were from the throat, but also from the heart. It was Interesting to note the effect of all the youthful enthusiasm upon an old gray-halred man who was standing near. He turned to another spectator and said: “Basketball wasn't heard of in my day, but just the same I feel that I played my part in making it what it is today—together with a lot of other Hoosier pioneers. “I am long past 70 years of age. I came to Indiana more than seventy years ago and spent my early days grubbing out stumps and digging ditches. We had no time for school sports. But we made possible the pleasures and sports of today. •‘They talk a lot about this younger generation and these new times, but I am for both of them. Things are a lot better now, and I think fellows like us old boys had a lot to do with bringing them about. "That is why I always enjoy celebrations like these —and I’m strong for them, too.” There’s a man who Isn’t old. He just has gray hairs. It is the that all of Indianapolis have toward the team which will represent this city at the regional meet next Saturday. All can do their share by boosting. And if the club comes back home to the finals all of the city should be back of the boys. This Includes Technical, Manual and Broad Ripple rooters. It is up to Indianapolis to show the spirit of the smaller cities and towns who back their clubs to the limit. Old and young, take heed. Shortridge is your club from now on. Next year if it happens to be one of the other schools, the same advice would apply. It Is not Shortridge alone, now. It Is Indianapolis’ team. • ♦ • OIIE more we see of high school basketball teams and their attitude on she floor the more It is Impressed upon us that the actions of the clubs reflect directly back to the coach. The best teams take the bad “breaks” with calmness and play all the harder while the others “crab” and “beef.” Some teams jthink the officials are out there to give them all the worst of it. Others, although they know mistakes are made, may think a lot, but do not try to arouse the antagonism of the fans by their attitude. When one knows the coaches he also knows the teams. The spirit of the man In charge of the team His mirrored in the attitude of his Pboya. • • • We said a while back tliat Pat Page very probably would not go to Indiana University. At that time Pat had not been considered. Since then the situation has changed somewhat. Alumni have talked to the former But- v ler athletic director and it is understood he is one of the leading candidates for the grid coaching vacancy at I. U. Various difficulties stand in the way which must be ironed out. Just how some of these matters can be settled is a perplexing problem. • • • mT appears as though Shortridge has a good chance to go to the final tourney at the fairground on March 19 and 20. The locals will meet Summitvllle in the first game next Saturday morning at 10 in the regional play at Muncie. Saturday night at 7:30, the Blue and White clash with the winner of the Noblesville and Sheridan fray, if they can win the first encounter. • If the north siders can get over the first contest, everything points to an Indianapolis representative among the sixteen clubs which will fight it out at the "coy barn” for the championship. Coach Burton of Shortridge deserves much credit for the showing of his team, which displayed all the attributes of a well-drilled squad. Two sectional victories in a row must be laid to something else besides luck. • • • /==nHlS Is what Stlrrin’ The I Dope said about Shortridge I * ‘ High School three weeks ago. We can not say that the showing of the Blue and White was such an “awful” surprise— The local sectional of the State high school basketball championship play looks more Interesting each day. Shortridge keeps looming up just when everyone Is inclined to erase that club from the picture. The Blue and White must be given an outside chance to spill the beans. Anyway, the team will make things plenty interesting for Tech or Manual, or any of the others. * * • SHE Indiana University football team of 1910 Is named the greatest Crimson team ever turned out, in a signed article by Leonard P. Kincade, this week In the Big Ten Weekly, a magazine devoted to Confei-ence athletics. The 1910 team was composed of some of the greatest grldders the Conference has seen, namely, “Andy” Gill, “Cotton" Berndt, Davis, Dutter, Hatfield, Messlck, Lewis, Kimble. Winter, Lindley, Cunningham, Roberts and Hoover. The Crimson eleven of sixteen 1 years ago hacT an uncrossed goal line, with 121 points to its credit, while opponents courted but 6, in the form of two field goals. POSTPONE SOCCER ’ The soccer match between a picked Indianapolis club and a squad from Terre Haute was postponed Sunday until next Sunday because of rain.

In both games Blue and White netters put up a defensive front that the well drilled offensives of both the Red and the Green could not penetrate. Shortridge played as they had never played before this year. The boys fought like wildcats and never gave up. Nothing new in the line of defensive styles was dished out, but th team was well schooled in fundamentals.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ALTE AND SMITH IN MAIN GO Local Boxer and Chicago Mauler to Headline Next Monday’s Card. Harold Smith of Chicago and Merle Alt© of this city will be the principals in the ten-round main event of the boxing show to be presented next Monday night, March 15, at Tomlinson Hall by the National A. C., it was announced today. Jimmy Goodrich of Buffalo, exlightweight champ, was to have been one of the pugs in the headline bout, but when word was received Sunday th.it Goodrich had sustained an injury, the local promoters appealed to Jim Mullen, Chicago promoter, who had Smith under contract for a bout at East Chicago this week, to release the stockyards flash to them. Mullen acquiesced, and Alte then camped on the trail of the National club officials for a shot at Harold. A few weeks ago Alte and Smith were carded for a scrap at East Chicago, but when the local blond battler showed up overweight the tilt was called off. The East Chicago bout was originally carded for a Friday night and was postponed at the last minute until the following Monday. Alte weighed in under the limit on Friday and, not anticipating another weigh-in, took on a few pounds over the week-end. which cost him the bout and his forfeit. Merle has been smarting under the injustice of what he calls a ‘ raw deal” since that time, and when he heard Smith was to show here, he handed the National club S2OO of his hard earned dough to guarantee that he would make 123 pounds next Monday at 3 p m. Smith, who Is considered one of the best of his class, is a great favorite in New York and Chicago, where he has fought such topnotchers ns “Bushy" Graham, Bud Taylor and others. He won over Taylor at Aurora a year ago. A red-hot supporting card is being assembled, the promoters assert. INDEPENDENT TOURNEY A 115-pound amateur Independent basketball tournament will be held next Saturday at the Second Baptist gym. The teams must average 115 o nthe floor, but individual players are allowed to weigh up to 120 pounds. There is still a few openings and teams desiring to enter are requested to get in eauch with R. J. Stefclin, 918 Olive St., or call Drexel 3679-J.

I Wie is not new to Chicago golf fans. ; She has been playing over local courses for three summer and her friends predicted great things for *her. But when the news reached here that she had defeated Glenna Collett, one of the world’s best woman golfers, surprise was expressed in nearly every golfing quarter. Barely 17 Barely 17, her birthday was Feb. 9, Virginia, on the local courses had shown wonderful golfing form and held three titles when she left for Florida. At that time It seemed to be a general opinion that within two or three years she would rank with the best—but not now. She had a rare woman’s drive, but her best work was done on approaches. Last summer Miss Van Wie won her first big match when she defeated Elsie Hildlng, Michigan’s best, to win the western Michigan tournament. Then she took the junior western on her home club course—Beverley. Elsie Hilding fell before her again In the Spring Lake, Michigan, tournament and Virginia took that meet. She qualified in the women's national at St. Louis last year, but Miriam Burns Horn disposed of her. Then Mrs. David Goetz beat her in the St. Paul open. Great Match Virginia’s golfing activities ceased until the Florida season opened. Then last Saturday she went out and In one of the greatest women's matches ever played in this country’ defeated Glenna Collett, one up on the nineteenth hole. Glenna herself paid the young lady the greatest compliment possible when she said, “I played the best golf that I have played since my match with Joyce Wethered in England last summer.”

Shortridge and Summitville, Two Upset Clubs, to Meet in Muncie Regional. Sixty-four basketball teams today took up the task of preparing for the next step toward the State high school championship, the regional tourneys at eight centers. After a hectic week-end, the prediction of dopesters that the sectional play woulij be marked by many upsets was fulfilled. On the list of sixty-four winners are many of the well-known clubs of the State, but there are also many unfamiliar names—teams that may prove dark horses In the race for the championship. Anderson Out Anderson, always one of the favorites In th© big show at Indianapolis, will be missing again this season —the second time In two consecutive years. Neither of the Gary teams will be on hand for the final fire works. In the place of Anderson, Summitville, runnerup In the Tri-State meet, will try its hand against another upset squad at Muncie regional for the right to come to Indianapolis. Shortridge, be|jeved by many before the sectional to be the weakest of the Indianapolis schools, with the exception of Broad Ripple, completely overturned the dope and defeated both Manual and Technical. Shortridge meets Summitville In the Muncie regional. The regional® very probably will see the elimination of other favorites. Some of the good ones are sure to be dropped. Kokomo vs. Marlon Kokomo must meet Marlon and one or th® other of these two strong squads will fall In the Kokomo regional. The same situation erists in the Bedford regional, where Vincennes and Washington will clash. Os one thing the fans may rest assured and that is that the regional will furnish plenty of fireworks for one week-end at least.
