"PT^TIRRIN 1 THE DOPE'S nose is right down to the grindV stone this week-end. Edaie Ash is south with the Indians and there are a million things to do. Sixteen teams started the final basketball battle today, and, although one would think the net tourney was the only sport, there ARE other activities that must be taken care of for the fans. We are going to get out from tinder by printing some of Dick Miller’s dope on rumors of war in the I. H. S. A. A. Here it is: It was interesting to note and study the attitude of the men who attended the organization of the Indiana High School Football Conference Thursday at the Athletic Club. For some time past friction has existed inside the membership of the Indiana State High School Athletic Association between the big and little fellows. While fool ball lias not received any set-backs due to unfavorable legislation, neither has it received any great boost from the board of control. Efforts to aim a blow at the I. H. S. A. A. through the formation of the Football Conference, was quickly thwarted by the far-sighted ones at the meeting and a section of the by-laws was enacted to keep the football league under the rules and regulations of the I. 11. S. A. A. This met with opposition and opponents of the association were able to put in a few words that fully expressed their opinions. They lost their point In the vote and the matter was passed. Any action concerning basketball was deferred until a later date. After the meeting had adjourned and the repi esentatives retreated from the room a group collected in the lobby. The conversation had turned to hasketball and a sudden tornado could not have raised any more flurry. A defender of the present board of control and systems of the I. H. S. A. A. found himself the center of an attack by those who differed. Almost all agreed that at a later date the meeting to discuss the present rules and by-laws of the I. H. S. A. A. should be held. All of the larger schools are to be invited. There has been some talk of an Indiana basketball conference of twenty teams, but another plan has sprung up and is said to be in the organization process now/. The new system calls for the founding of four conferences, a Northern Indiana, a Western Central Indiana, an Eastern Central Indiana, and a Southern Indiana conferece. John Adams of Vincennes Ls talked of as the organizer of the Southern section, and George Veenker of Emerson, Gary, the Northern section. Fred Gorman of Tech may have one of the Central sections and another man the other. Each conference is to have twelve to sixteen team members. It is planned that the winners meet in March to determine the State champion after a season schedule is played and a winner of each section determined by percentage. • • • F r ~~ — ' OLLOWING our policy of letting the other fellow help hectic week-end, here’s what Frank Getty, famous feature writer, thinks of “Tqjer Flowers,” newly crowned iniddlew T eight champ. Just a simple, sorrowful Senegambian son of nature is Deacon “Tiger” Flowers, the new middleweight champion of the world. It Is highly probable that after May 21 the Atlanta deacon won’t be middleweight champion any more. It is not highly probable tliat he will mind very much. .Vs long as Flowers’ mouth is full of gold teeth and his family full of good food and the installment on the piano is paid up, Tiger Is not given to worrying. The chances are that when Harry Greb, who burned his candle atboth ends and got badly scorched In the process, finishes the first hard, conscientious training he has done In years, he will be in shape to reverse the decision won by the Negro last month. The middleweight championship probably will come back to the white race. Flowers doesn’t know what to do with It; he hasn’t even bought himself a gold-headed walking stick. “Tiger" Flowers is a family man, a churchman of responsibilities. Harry Greb, despite the loss of most of his front teeth, s a conscientious rounder who “got by” for nearly three years, training in cabarets and playing fast and loose with the most amazing constitution ever given a fighter. The Pittsburgh boy tried it onr too often’, and Flowers caught .him nut of condition and won the title. Flowers is an agreeable, mildmannered Senegambian. a credit to the industry of modified murder, ■"out not a champion. He showed his lack of championship caliber when he agreed to meet Greb in a return match on May 21. Hexing is a business, and the "Tiger” is certainly no business man. * • • N~ ’-lO “Charleston” dancing for Wabash football players. l__J At least, Coach Vaughan Pieters the good old-fashioned “camel walk” to develop the muscles of his future grid players. During setting-up exercises on Thursday Vaughan and Assistant Coach Reese sent the football squad through the famous stifflegged step during practice, but refused to comment upon their refusal to adopt the newer and rnoro popular dance fad. Baseball Coach Harry Scholler was interviewed on the subject, but when asked why the diamond candidates did not follow Pennsylvania’s example, retorted: "Aw, hell!” and turned his back.

Bedford, 33; Syracuse, 22 Syracuse, a dark horse from the north section of the State, presented an opening offense that worried Bedford and the Stone City supporters when it mounted to a 15 to 4 lead a short time before the half ended. The Bedford board of strategy on the bench got together, sent a substitute into the game, called time out, and started a rally when play was resumed that netted eight points and brought the score to Syracuse, 15, and Bedford, 12, at the end of the half. Coyly starred in the Bedford drive with four consecutive field goals. Six field goals were disrtibuted among the Sj-racuse players and they scored three from the foul line. Murray scored a field goal and two fouls for Bedford. It was Murray, center of Bedford, who dashed cold water upon the hopes of Syracuse of holding on to their first half margin and downing the Stone City five. Murray contributed six field goals and two foul goals to the Bedford total in the second half. The energy Syracuse showed in the first half was lacking later in the game. They were held to two field goals, scored by Auer, in the second half. A large delegation of Bedford rooters, held speechless and dumfounded by the Syracuse sprint in the first half, gradually came Into their own toward the end of the game and were cheering wildly as the Red and White rolled up a heavy margin to win, 33 to 22.

Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Ru VBA Service SAN ANTONIO. Texas. March 19. ! —Rogers Hornsby, famous manager j of the St. Louis Cardinals, has I turned out to be the Dr. Jekyll and j Mr. Hyde of baseball. As just a player, second baseman j of the Cardinals. Hornsby seemed to have little Interest in the game, other than getting his base hits and executing the plays in the field in his usual faultless manner. There seemed to be little or no initiative about Hornsby. He took I things as they came, seldom hud anything to say to anybody and < never took issue with the umpires. Rogers Hornsby, manager, is an entirely different person from Rogers Hornsby, player. Always fair and considerate with j his players, Hornsby has no use for j the laggard. He wants every fellow j to give his best and he recently let j i them know it in this manner: ! | “The player who doesn’t want to hustle won’t get any chance to be idle. He will be passed on to some other club. I “The player who fails to keep In j condition may fool me for a time, but not always. lie really is only kidding himself and must sooner or later pay the penalty. “This club is out to win the pen- j nant. If it can’t win the pennant,; it’s going to do the next best thing, | finish as high as possible.” And that’s the spirit of the Car- i dinals all over. Hornsby, by practicing what he preaches, has instilled j iti into them.
