State College Alumni Flare Up; Bombard Butler’s ‘Fast One’

ALUMNI athletic authorities and coaches of other Indiana col-

leges and universities today still were gasping at the “fast one ’ which Butler University athletic authorities put over on them at the State high school basketball finals Saturday. The other coaches, out of courtesy to Butler in view of the fact the tourney was held at Butler's new field hoi se, preserved a grim silence so far as direct quotation, but in private conversation they seethed. The regulation barring ccaehes from radio broadcasting a highly regarded form of school advertising, was traced to Butler authorities, it was learned. For years the high D.-hool authorities have declared that they intended to do everything possible to keep the tournament from being regarded as a battleground where rival coaches selected material for their college teams. Nevertheless, coaches and their assistants have kept coming to the tournaments and all have had about an even break when it came to “cornering” the youthful stars and attempting to talk them into coming to “Dear Old Siwash” next year. The Sfate prep authorities took the tournament away from Indiana University, which originated and fostered it at considerable expense for several years, because it was felt Indiana got an overwhelmingly unfair chance to land star ball players. Then, the authorities stopped holding regionals at Indiana and Purdue because the two big universities had a better chance to line up the boys than the smaller schools. This year they went back to a college gym and here's what happened: 1. Butler University distributed

Charles won the hearts of the fight fans by his courageous persistence in the face of superior boxing. The Belgian will make trouble for some of the better known heavyweights before he is through.
