iifiiiniiiiii \tirrin’ the DOPE By VEDDER CARD

——iN' indication of the fierce A determination of every w ___ team entered to win the fetaie high school basketball championship cropped out here today. The Indiana University Club of Indianapolis has offered as a consolation prize to defeated players a block of seats at the Murat theater for the showing Friday night of the Jordan River Revue, Indiana University musical comedy. To date not a single team has accepted, not even conditionally. The players evidently are not going to admit in advance any form of “inferiority complex" toward the State finals to be decided here Friday and Saturday. But some of the clubs must lose. Six teams will have been put out of the high school championship race by 8:15 Friday and the Indiana University Club hopes to have the honor of entertaining these regional champs and cheering them up a bit with a good show. • * * Our annual admonition to Indianapolis basketball fans is now in order. BE GOOD HOSTS. There are three words that say a mouthful. * * * mHE 1926 Davis Cup draw has been made by the United States Lawn Tennis Association, with the customary attendance of foreign diplomats. Under the rules governing competition for this most coveted of all tennis trophies, the defending American team does not play until the challenge round. There are nineteen teams in Ihe European zone and five, aside from the United States, in the American zone. Australia has not challenged this year, and France is expected to defeat the field and play for the cup at Forest Hills, against the 11. S. title defenders. The French team meets Denmark in the second round of the European zone, having' a bye in the first round. If they defeat the Danes, Mons. Laeoste and his comrades will play the winner of the match between India and Czecho-Slovakia. The result of the draw probably will be to bring France against Switzerland in the fourth round and against Spain or Great Britain in the fifth round. The winners in the European zone then will plays against the winners in the American zone, probably Japan. The other teams in the American zone are Canada, Cuba, Mexico and the Philippine Islands. * * * NUMBER of the Big Ten A basketball coaches will be l ___ on hand to see the Hoosier high school final tourney this week-end. On the list are dean of I. IT. and Lambert of Purdue, representing the two State schools of the Western Conference. Sam Barry of lowa also will be on hand. He is a personal friend of Everett Case of Frankfort, who is trying to repeat his triumph of last: season. “Doc" Meanwell of Wisconsin is another one sure to be here. 1 The Badger coach is smart enough to know where , they grow plenty of basketball players. Other probable visitors are Ruby of Illinois. Olsen of Ohio, Norgren of Chicago and Mather of Michigan. Some will not be here until Saturday.

BASKETBALL referee has a lot of nerve to run for *■- a public office. But then Dale Miller always did have a lot of “guts.” Dale, one of the best-known referees in the State, and who will be in the final tournament at the fairground Friday and Saturday, is out for nomination on the Republican ticket for Marion County Representative. There’s a little fellow who just loves punishment—politics and basketball. What a combination! * * * A real touch of college life will he added to the Jordan River Revue, Friday night, at the Murat theater, when Coach Dean and his Big Ten co-champion basketball players are presented between acts. Eddie Brackett, of Indianapolis, perhaps the most celebrated yell leader in the history of Indiana University athletics, will lead the audience in a three: minute pep session. In making the acquaintance of the Crimson netmen, Jordan River Revue theater goers will meet the highest scoring combination of the Big Ten this season. EAST CHICAGO BOUT Isii United Press CHICAGO, March 18.—Sully Montgomery, former Centre College football player, and Soldier Jack Adams of Belleville, 111., are ready for their ten-round main event in the East Chicago arena Friday night.

round, although there Is nothing certain about any of the results. Logansport probably can dispose of La Porte, while there is little doubt but Martinsville will be able to triumph over Summitville. Frankfort may have some trouble with Aurora, but should win, and Bedford, from past performances, seems to hold the edge in the tilt with Syracuse. Marion is figured to win as it pleases over Nappanee. Into Second Round

North Vernon meets Hillsboro, and it appears to be an even battle. One thing is certain, no matter which one wins, one of the newcomers will step into the fast company of the second round. Probably the feature game of the first round will be the clash between Evansville and Newcastle. Both teams are strong and both came to the finals following upsets in the regional play. Central of Ft. Wayne and Franklin should furnish an in teresting battle. The latter is the favorite.

Movement to Form Grid and Basketball Organizations May Be Death Knell of Present Association. By Dick Miller The Indiana State High School Athletic Association, was rocking today from the under currents of an impending revolution. By nightfall the revolutionists hoped to have the biggest part of the organization of anew association accomplished and plans for the future well under way.

A meeting was to take place at 3 i p. m. today at the Indianapolis Ath- | letic Club, to be attended by ten or | more athletic directors and principals ] •if the largest schools in the State that play football. They will discuss and make final formation of the ! “Indiana High School Big Ten.” The schools said to have passed ; the requirements, concerning team strength, enrollment and financial support, are Emerson of Gary, South Bend, Mishawaka, Central of Ft. Wayne, Marion, Muncie, Tech of Indianapolis. Gerstmeyer of Terre Haute, Central of Evansville, and another. All of these teams are said to have accepted the plans for the organization drawn up late last fall by George Veenkcr, coach at Emerson of Gary. Today’s meeting was just a I get-together gathering to sign the I contracts and iron out the rough | spots, it is said.

“Big Twenty” However, that is just a part of it, according to rumors from reliable sources. These above schools and several others of large student enrollments said to be smarting under the present athletic control, may disrupt the entire present athletic association. Several northern Indiana teams are rampant and intend to stop at nothing. Another move today was to be the formation of a basketball “Big Twenty.” Most of the schools of the football "Big Ten.” and such schools as Franklin. Frankfort, Shelby villa, Morton of Richmond, Connersville, Martinsville, Bedford. Washington and others will lie offered memberships. The best Will be enrolled if they accept. The formation of the Big Twenty would mean the death knell to the annual season-ending tourneys by which the. State champion is named. Instead, it is the plan of the organizers to have each team play a round of nineteen games with the other teams, and at the end of the

year allow the percentage standing to determine the winner of the title. Many Difficulties On the surface the plans seem easy, but close Investigation discloses that several bad features will have to be overcome. First, comes the expense of long travel, second, the selection of the twenty best teams and many other things that will require expert executive ability. It is said that A. L. Trester, permanent secretary of the I. 11. S. A A., has sanctioned the formation of the “Big Ten” football organization. I There might be such a thing as Trester being offered the executive office in any new organizations that may be got together. Persons familiar with the State situation have seen the present revolution in the offing for some time. They say the little schools brought it upon themselves by their desire to whip the bigger schools by legislation forced over because of superior numbers. The distribution of the funds from the sectional tourney ticket sales was the first real trouble that arose, but Trester ironed that out.

Then, the voting power on new laws came up and a legislative committee was elected from districts. The bigger schools have contended ’ that schools should have voting power in ratio with their student enrollment, but failed to convince the others. The basketball final tourney to lie held Friday and Saturday may he the last one In which the entire State is represented. Rumors have been going round that Kokomo intends sending their basketball team to Chicago, to play in the national basketball champion- | ship tourney to be held the last of the month. If such is the case. KoI komo may see the handwriting on ! the wall and believe It has nothing to lose by breaking a rule of the i present association.
