Trester Approves Plans for State Final Net Ton rney

Suspension of Beech Grove Is Left in Force * The Indiana High School Athletic Association board of control has reaffirmed its decision of Jan. 14, when it barred Beech Grove High School from athletic competition with association teams until June 2, 1928. The final verdict was received in the mail today, by Verl Pierson, president of the Beech Grove school board. It was written by A. L. Trester, permanent secretary. The decision definitely removes Beech Grove from participating in the State tournament basketball sectional play here March 2 and 3. It also eliminates the Grove lads from baseball and track contests this spring. The suspension was the outgrowth of a complaint registered with the association by M. E. Whitlock, Indianapolis referee, who complained of harsh treatment by fans and the principal after the Fishers-Beech Grove game at Beech Grove, Jan. 6. No complaint w’as made against coach or team.

ONE of the outstanding high school basketball contests of the coming week end will be staged at Bainbridge when the Wabash Valley champions, Brazil, tangle with the fast-flying Bainbridge outfit. Both teams have great records and it should be a keen battle. How closely the teams shape up, we know not, but we can spring the old gag of comparative scores. Bainbridge last Saturday dropped Manual, 6726, a margin of forty-one points. Greencastle. a week ago swamped the Manualities, 64 to 24, a margin of forty points. Brazil beat Greencastle last week-end. 34 to 32. Now figure out the Brazil-Bainbridge controversy. B B B There's many a happy heart in the city Bedford this week. For the Stone City basketball team has snapped out of its slumber. The Bedfordites rammed head on into Bloomington and carried off the honors, 45 to 38. Hey! Hey!

JOHNNY COPPOCK, who conducts Peruvian Passes in the Peru Tribune, keeps hammering away on the proposition that Logansport “isn’t so hot.” The Peru-

vians must defeat Logan in the sec - tionals to get any place at all. And, Mister Backboard might well inform the “Circus City” scribe to "let up” a trifle. Because, it will take a great ball club to drop the Berries. Last Saturday in the “City of Bridges” we saw the Wellsmen down a capable, hard - fighting

Vincennes crew, 42 to 31. Two Logan performers caught our eye. Long, slim McCames, who jumps center for the Logan club, and little, chunky Dickerson, a forward. McCarnes boosted the total of the Wells outfit by nineteen points. He played a great defensive game, and when he got under the Alice basket there was plenty of excitement. Peru must take care of McCames. Howareyougoingtodoit? BBS Waldron’s back guard this season is George Cuscaden, 1926 boy health champion of the United States. We understand that, physically, George is a trifle more perfect by percentage than Ivory Soap is pure. That's what Doc Doe of “Post Mortem” in the Greensburg Daily News, alleges, at any rate. nan BUTLER and Notre Dame clash at South Bend Saturday and Off The Backboard is broadcasting to the world in general that he is picking Butler to hand the Irish a licking. There are many net fans in Indiana who don't realize how strong the Bulldogs are. In our, opinion the locals rank right up alongside Indiana and Purdue as the strongest teams in the State. BUB PURDUE and Michigan tangle Saturday at Ann Arbor and another curious little angle springs up when it is learned that Charles (Stretch) Murphy will jump against his townsman, Bob Chapman. Both starred on the Marion championship team of ’25. Murphy went to Purdue while Chapman was enlisted into the Wolverine ranks. “Chap” is no midget and comes near six feet, three inches, if our memory serves us right. B B B One of the noteworthy contests of the week-end occurred Friday night. Versailles led Batesville at the end of the first half. 21 to 8.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Arrangements Accepted to Stage Title Play at Butler University. WORK MOVES SWIFTLY Plant May Be Completed for Sectional Meet. BY DICK MILLER Plans of the Indiana High School Athletic Association to stage the State final basketball tournament at the new Butler field house at Fairview Park, March 16 end 17, were approved today by Arthur L. Trester, permanent secretary of the organization, who Mo iday made a thorough survey of the construction work on the new structure. Trester was given the power to reject or accept the field house as the scene of the 1928 event at a meeting of the I. H S. A. A. board of control here Saturday. Trester, in his survey, was accompanied by George (Potsy) Clark, Butler athletic director; K. V. Ammerman, Broad Ripple High School princ'pal, and Fred R. Gorman, Technical High School athletic director. Armory Talked About Possibility of holding the Indianapolis sectional tournament, March 2 and 3, at the field house also has been discussed. Broad Ripple High School is host to the section this year and plans to stage the meet at the National Guard Armory have been discussed. The local net meet usually is staged before a crowd of seven and eight thousand and the small seating capacity of the Armory would be a handicap. Clark informed the Broad Ripple principal he would give a definite answer within ten days. Unless very adverse weather conditions are met, it is felt that the playing floor and ground floor bleachers will be available for sectional play. The roof at the fieldhouse is practically over the entire building at this time. Ample space for refreshment stands beneath the balcony is afforded. The heating plant is entirely installed and in operation. Plenty Parking Space As much as two feet of soft dirt will be removed from the territory adjacent to the fieldhouse until gravel is reached. A clay surface will be placed over the gravel, affording a parking space as much or more than was available at the fairground cow bam location. Persons not motoring to the games will find transportation on the Pennsylvania St. line to FortyNinth St., and the Illinois line to Fairview Park. The latter requires a four-block walk and the Pennsylvania line a six-block hike. Busses also will be used as a means of transportation. The fieldhouse will seat 15,000. By using the Butler field house for the State finals, instead of the Fairground cattle barn as in the past. Trester believes there will be an improvement in safety, heating and seating. WINS QUALIFYING ROUND PINEHURST, N. Y.. Feb. 7.—Mrs. Emmet French of Youngstown, Ohio, Monday won the qualifying round of the women’s annual St. Valentine 's tournament.
