DOUBLE-HEADER AT ARMORY SATURDAY FEATURES WEEK-END H. S. CARD

Off the Backßoard

It is about time .something definite be done about the matter oJ£ stalling. Frankly, we are not in favor of the practice at any stage in a game of basketball. “Come take the ball away from me'-’ is not playing basketball as it should be played. There is but one thing to do to prevent stalling. Make a rule against it. When a team starts stalling there is nothing about the game that denotes any of the features for which the sport is noted.

Why not give the referee added power? Give him the right to inflirt a technical foul when he believes a team is delaying the game. There is at present nothing in the rules that can prevent stalling. A man is not obliged to take the ball down the floor. That is not fair, it isn’t giving the crowd its money's worth, at least that part of the crowd that is nonpartisan- Stalling at the end of ;i. game when a team has a three or four-point margin oftentimes is t ailed "clever.” It is not. If a team can not go forty minutes at full speed without keeping ahead, it does not deserve to win. . To get back to the rule which we are in favor of inserting. If the rules committee does not deem it advisable, then it is possible for (lie Indiana High School Athletic Asso- * elation to award Its officials sufficient power to declare a foul when they believe a team is sttalling. The technical foul necessarily does not mean a free throw. Award the ball to the opposing team out of bounds. That will speed up the game and dispose of the team that wants to stall in the final minutes of play. Delaying the game is not allowed in baseball. It is often tried by teams holding a one or two run lead to TRY stalling for darkness or the six o’clock closing law. They don’t get away with it. The umpires see to that. Then why let teams get way with stalling in basketball games? The Old Settler made the suggestion that in place of awarding the ball to the opposing team out of hounds make it a center ball. In other words a jump ball at the center. But the point remains that the team stalling should he penalized. A tall comer would eliminate the center ball suggestion. Purdue will bit at Chicago Friday I night. We think the Boilermakers ' will win. Friday is the dap'. Our selection for the 1927 State high school basketball championship will be made known. Yes, it’s—. We were up at the Hoosier A. C. Wednesday night to see the City League games. It was a sort of an ‘‘off’’ night for most of the boys 1 and a number of easy shots were j clubbed. Snagged off a few noteij j 'while we were there. Here they are: l “■Red" Kirkpatrick. Light and Heat con- i ter. was “rednot.” . , . Seemed to he everywhere at once. . . .

Veddcr Gard and Johnson were the whistle footers. . . . Light team missed Joo “Oseie” Kelly. . . . Might have been whole lot different had he been playing. . . .

Dutch Huesing and Phillips of the Ramblers stopped us after the game and asked if they couldn't get their names in the paper. ... To top it off, Ed Roth walked us to town and bought us a drink.

ATHENIANS AT Y. M. C. A.

Craw fords ville Athenians, composed of former Wabash College basket stars, will play the Central “Y” quintet a* the Y. M. C. A. Saturday night. The Athenians have on their roster De Vol, brother of Benny; Grater, Dinwiddie, Dickerson and Kirby. The locals have strengthened their line-up with the addition of Rigsby of Purdue and Carney, Logansport High School. RICHMOND, Va„ Jan. 20.—Sunday baseball in Virginia is illegal, the State Court of Appeals ruled today, affirming a decision of the Circuit Court of Norfolk County. Judges Burks and Chichester dissented.

Tech at Bloomington Tilt Tops Friday Schedule for Local Fives. The Teeh-Bloomington game Friday night and tho double-header at the Armory Saturday night feature the week-end basketball card for the local high school teams. Bloomington, rated as one of the most powerful quintets in the State, will be prepared for Tech and expects to turn in a victory. The contest will be staged at Bloomington. Games at Armory Shortridge and Manual will play the all-important roles at tho Armory Saturday night, the Blue and White mixing with Lebanon and the Bed and White meeting West Newton. Broad Ripple also has a hand in the week-end schedule the Suburban- ! ites playing host to Lizton Friday night. Shortridge is the only one of the four having two games cayded, the north siders playing at Tipton Friday. Coach Burton has been shaking up his line-up and Fox is the probable starter at center. Short Shots Coach Mark Wakefield at Tech is emphasizing more accuracy on short shots and has been spending a good deal of time in that branch of offensive play. Wakefield is also devoting much of his time to bracing the defense of the east side quintet. Down on the south side Coach Rowland H. Jones is laying much stress on defense. In last week’s game with Tech, the Manualißs displayed plenty of fight, but the Arsenal ites did not appear to be having much trouble breaking through.

City Bowling Gossip By Lefty Lee

The alley owner’s classic will start next Saturday night at the Elks Club and continue through Sunday. The second week's play will be held at the Capitol, the third week will find the Century alleys entertaining, and then the bowlers move to the Central, Recreation and Illinois. Eighty-five entries have been received to date, and as Bill Sargent will be found on the tloor of whatever alleys you are shooting on, the entry should be boosted to 100. The six weeks’ play will call for four games each* week, a total of twenty-four on forty-eight different alleys. If the winner of this event is not the best in town, then there is no best, as this will be a real test under championship conditions. Capitol No. 1 League Wednesday night was the reason for all the noise strangers heard passing within a half mile of the place. The Silver ' Flash team was the main cause. These boys have been without their regular line-up for two months, j owing to a bad thumb injury suffen and by Eddie Hornberger. Wednes- : day night Eddie returned to the line- { up and the result was Silver Flash j secured a total of 3,213 pins on i games of 1,042, 1,04" and 1,124. | Nine games passed the 1,000 mark and two of these were better than 1,100. We rise to remark this Is some shooting. These games were rolled on alleys 11 and 12. On 9 and 10 Em-Roes were going at about the same clip. The Em-Roe games were 9G5, 1,018 and 1,104 for a total of 3.087. On 7 and 8 the Marotts 3,011 pins secured on games of 1,002, 978 and 1,031. The floor average per

game for the eight teams was 981, anew record high for the city. The greatest excitement of the night was in the individual high scoring honors. Al Striebeck anti Larry Fox each continued to strike first one and then the other for eight frames. In the ninth both stopped with spares and the battle was still on until the lost ball when Al secured ten to Larry’s nine and won with 266 to Fox’s 265. Fortyeight games passed the 200 mark.
