WORK STARTED ON ERECTION OF HUGE ARENA FOR STATE NET TOURNEY

Tt won’t be long now. No, we’re not referring to Christmas. It won’t be long until the Big Ten teams line up on the mark and come galloping down the stretch as the barrier lifts. Hoosier fans will watch with interest the progress of Indiana and Purdue. Indiana is the We still believe the Crimson will be right there at the top when the scrap is over. And Purdue won’t be far behind.

HOLZ AND Clf ADD Hutler has a promising team this year. The Bulldogs have played only one home game, but that was enough. The Blue and White didn't experience much trouble with Coe College, although the lowans were a skilled and smoothly working outfit. Holz, lanky center, Is In for a wonderful year. Little Archie Chadd is another boy who Is bound to be one of the shining lights in many a game. It appears that Paul Hinkle’s outfit Is due to make a bid for State championship honors. We happened to glance over the local high school schedules this morning and almost had an attack of heart disease when we Earned who Tech’s opponent is to Feb. 18. It’s Logans port, and at Loganskport to boot. Ouch! BRING IT HOME We are absolutely, positively and certainly in favor of having the Indiana State High School champion compete in the National tourney at Chicago late In March. It is without. doubt the opinion of the majority of Indiana, coaches, critics and followers that an Indiana team, like Marion’s outfit of last year, or Clifford Wells’ present quintet could take the National championship with more ease than playing some of the games on the regular schedule. Indiana is the kingdom of basketball. Correct. Then bring the National high school championship to Hoosierland. The Capitol City League statistics just issued show that Wade of the Polk’s Milk has an unusual record. He has competed in four games and has scored thirty-three field goals MOTION PICTURES

and seven free throws for eighty-four points. Some going! It wouldn’t be a bad idea for Secretary Treater and Ills Indiana State high school board of control to look over some of the high school gyms in the State. A good many of them have insuflicicnt exits and in case of a fire tliege would be an awful jam. There’s no sense in building gyms that have but one narrow entrance. ONE YEAR IN ADVANCE A dispatch received from Martinsville includes the tentative basketball schedule as arranged by Coach Glenn Curtis for his 1927-28 net team. The schedule Is one of the hardest in the history of the Artesian school. Nineteen games have been carded and not a one is a “setup." Evidently Curtis believes in conditioning his men by hard work and plenty of It. And we don’t know but what we agree with him. The more harder gomes a team plays the better the lads will be when they get in a tournament. They will be used to stiff opposition and won’t buckle up and wilt when an optoblng man gets "hot” and sinks a couple of goals. The schedule has two games each with Wash ington. Bedford, Columbus, Bloomington. Franklin. Shelbyvllle. Vincennes and one each with Kokomo. Muncle, Frankfort, Shortrldge and Marion. There is a card for you. RIPPLE’S BEST BET We believe that Raymond Hitchcock, Broad Ripple forward, de serves a lot of credit for the success of his team. It would be putting it rather strong to say that he Is the backbone of the Ripple quintet, but he surely is the best bet Coach iUederich has. When Hitchcock first started to play high school basketball, the coaches had a lot of trouble with him. He Is a natural shooter. He Is dangerous any time he Is within the center of the floor for his basket eye seems to be un- | canny. But, he was a hot-headed | player—the kind that flyles off the handle and starts to fight every time | he is roughed up a trifle. Coach Ed Deiderich has been | working hard with the boy and ap- | parently Hitchcock has been taking I notice, for this year Raymond blossomed out as a real basketball j player. He uses his head now and it appears to us there Is a lot of gray matter up there in addition to i skull. If he gets his chance he'll j shoot. If he Is covered he uses his bean. He outwitted three Danville men last Saturday who were as signed to keep tab of his move- ! ments. Raymond didn’t try a shot, j so we have it, but kept feeding the ! ball to his mates who attended to j making the points. EASY FOR ELKHART ! Ifu Timet Special ELKHART, Ind., Dec. 22.—Elkhart High School basketball team had an easy time with Brazil here Tuesday night, winning, 80-15. Stephenson and Markey were best j for the locals.
