740 State Net H. S. Teams Ready for Opening Round of Tourney Play

Off the I Backboard *—By Norman E. Isaacs—

more we think about the ap- -*■ preaching sectional tournaments the more it puzzles us. For instance, right here in the Indianapolis meet we believe Technical is going to win the event. But, the Green and White have not played the Southport crew this season and Southport is rated the most dangerous of the county teams. The lads from the “port” are plenty tough and quite capable of giving the Arsenalites a real battle. Southport, however, is handicapped in this respect—the tournament is being staged on Tech’s home floor. Tech, with what shapes up like the strongest team, will be performing in familiar surroundings. tt tt n The winner of the Indianapolis sectional tournament will compete in the Anderson regional and probably will not have much trouble in disposing of the winner of the Noblesville meet in the first round. Anderson is the “big gun” in that regional. Here's their record: Anderson, 72; Arcadia. 18. Anderson. 33; Frankton, 31. Anderson, 42; Lapel. 20. Anderson. 49; Newcastle. 25. Anderson, 32; Kokomo, 20. Frankfort. 39: Anderson. 38. Muncie. 35; Anderson. 28 Anderson. 42; Frankfort. 38. Anderson, 64; Kokomo. 24. Anderson, 54; Newcastle, 38. Anderson, 35; Marion. 24. , Anderson, 47; Rochester, 20.

Opponents’ scoring average—27.7. tt * tt

“Peggy anti .Tcannc” of Bloomington scribbled in a neat missive to inform us that Bloomington is intending to do a lot of surprising in the Martinsville sectional this week-end. “P. and J.” wound up with “We can and we will!” That’s telling ’em, ladies! tt tt tt “Crawfordsville Fan” was at Bainbriage last Friday night and saw the “Dark Horses” win from Jefferson of Lafayette. Mr. Crawfordsville thinks “they will have to play far better ball than they did Friday if they expect to stack up against Crawfordsville in the regional.” What say you, Bainbridge? tt tt tt Jerry Hostlick of Southport thanks us for saying a few kind words regarding Southport. Jerry is of the firm opinion the “port” boys will romp on Tech. We don’t think so Jerry—not on Tech’s floor. Even so. Southport has one of the classiest teams in this section of the State.

•‘Tip-Off” in the Anderson Herald says “Somehow or other it wouldn’t seem like a tournament unless Anderson and Lapel clashed somewhere along the line. So, if there is anything in getting a good start this one scheduled Friday and Saturday should be a thriller from the word ‘go.’ Nobody could ask a more colorful beginning, Anderson vs. Lapel.” a tt n Tickets for the Butler-Notre Dame game at the new Butler Field House, next Wednesday will go on sale late this week. Tickets for the Notre Dame side will be on sale at the university. Feeney Furniture Cos., and Fidelity Trust Cos. Ducats for the Butler side will be on sale at the university, Clark and Cade, Gus Habich, A. G. Spalding, Mueller Pharmacy.

Cleveland Starts Training With Same Personnel as Last Season

Few Alterations in Squad; Recruit; Hodapp By United Press CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 29. With the exception of a manager, one or two veteran leaguers, and several stars recruited from the minors, the Cleveland Indians went into spring training at New Orleans with practically the same personnel that finished sixth in the 1927 race. Despite numerous attempts of President Alva Bradley and his millionaire associate owners to obtain reinforcements for the club, Cleveland will have to base its aspirations for a first division team on the strength of recruited minor leaguers. ■\mong the most promising of the recruits is Ed Morgan, late outfielder with the New Orleans Southern Association team, who batted .350 during the 1927 season and had seven major league clubs after his services. With Jamieson and Summa, the former a dependable batter, as the nucleus for the outfield, Manager Peckinpaugh will have Morgan, Gerken, from Milwaukee. Langford, Wilson, formerly with the Boston Braves, and several others from which to complete his outfield. More worrisome than the outfield is the infield.

George Muzzy of Milwaukee failed to fight up to advance dope at the Armory Tuesday night in the Legion main go and Jimmy Hackley got credit for a knockout in the ninth round as the visiting pug rested on one knee.
