West Newton Quintet Also in Second Round Continentals Trounce Castleton, While Campbellmen Bowl Over Oaklandon; Newton Rallies in Last Half to Nose Out Lawrence in Fast Fray. BY DICK MILLER Technical, Washington and West Newton advanced into ' lie second round of the Indianapolis high school sectional basketball tournament at the Tech gym in morning games today. Technical swept over Oaklandon, 44 to 13, the Green reserves seeing most of the action, Washington eased its way to victory over Castleton, 45 to 15, and it remained for West Newton to put on the excitement for the more than three thousand fans in the giant Tech arena. Leading 4 to 2 at the quarter, the Newton team was passed up and trailed at the half, 12 to 6. The Newton five evened the count at 13-all at the three-quarter mark and managed to eke out a 17-to-16 victory in the remaining minutes.

Tech, 44: Oaklandon, 13

The gym was only one-third filled es the Oaklandon team trotted on the floor for pregame practice, but the -arena filled rapidly as hundreds, delayed by snow-covered, slippery streets made a last- minute rush on the doors. Edwards Opens Scoring Overman and White were at forwards for Tech, Edwards at center, and Bunnell and Jones at guards. Hockett and E. Apple were at forwards for Oaklandon, Morris at center, and Offenbacker and Teeter lined up at the guard posts. The game was only a minute old when Edwards, fouled by Morris, dropped in two free throws and before Oaklandon could collect itself to call for a time out, Bunnell had swished two field goals through the nets and White one to give the big Green and 8-to-0 lead. Apple finally worked himself into an open spot in front jot the basket and scored Oaklandon’s first field goal. Hockett, fouled by Edwards, added a free throw to make the score 8 to 3 as the quarter ended. Edwards boosted the score to 11 to 3 as play was resumed by connecting for a field goal and a free throw. Bunnell and Apple each scored and the score was 13 to 5. Tim Campbell rushed in his reserves, but only after Bunnell and Jones had sent field goals through the basket to raise the count to 17 to 5. The half ended as Overman arched a field goal through the meshes from the center of the floor, giving Technical a 19-to-5 edge as the teams left the floor. Tech continued its rush as the second half got under way and before Campbell could make It a complete reserve line-up Gauker had eased one through from the center and Edwards one from under the hoop to bring the score to 23 to 5. Pile Up Huge Score Townsend gave Tech a point from the free throw line and Hockett ad:’ed a, point to Oaklandon’s total the same way. Purcell gave Tech cne more point and then Houston dashed under the hoop for two rapid-fire field goals, giving the Arsenal five a 29-6 lead. Offenbacker made It 29-7 with a free throw and Oaklandon called for time. Townsend batted in one from under the hoop and Purcell took a long pass and dropped in another field goal to bring the score 33 to 7 as the third quarter ended. Apple gave the Oaks’ supporters a chance to cheer when he sent in a field goal from the side center. Morris duplicated with one from the opposite side and then added a free throw to make the count 33-12. Tech retaliated when Townsend tossed a free throw, batted in a field goal and Gladden scored from under the hoop. Purcell dashed under and dropped in another field goal, lifting the score to 40 to 12. Townsend and Gauker looped in pretty goals from out on the floor and Morris tossed in a free throw for the Oaks, making it 44 to 13. The game ended a moment later.

West Newtori Rallies

Smith’s field goal gave Lawrence the lead at the outset, but two rapid-fire field goals by Fields and Mendenhall put West Newton out in front, 4 to 2. Newton took up the delayed offense and made no move to advance the ball throughout the remainder of the quarter and there was no further scoring. Mendenhall fouled Smith as the second quarter opened, and he made the free toss good. Bragdon connected for a long field goal to give Lawrence a 5-to-4 lead, highly popular with the crowd. Hermon dashed under the hoop to make it 7 to 4 and Newton called for time. Hermon dropped in a charity toss and Bragdon and Garrison looped in field goals to make the count 12 to 4. Byers scored a field goal for West Newton as the half ended, with Lawrence holding a 12-6 edge. Bragdon’s free throw gave Lawrence a 13-6 advantage, but Dennerger sank a field goal from the side, dropped in a free throw and Blankenbaker dropped in a field goal from the center circle to bring Newton to within two points of a tie count. The crowd went wild when Christy standing open under the basket, took a long pass and dropped in the field goal that knotted the count. The quarter ended a moment later. Christy pushed in a one-hander to give West Newton the lead and a few minutes later batted in another field goal, to give his team a 17 to 13 lead. Lawrence called for time out with four and one-half minutes to play. Byers fouled Raab, a sub, as he was shooting and the Lawrence boy brought the count to 17-15 by making both free throws. Dennerger fouled Smith and he made one narrowing the count to 17 to 16

TALKING IT OVER BY JOE WILLIAMS

NEW YORK, March 6.—Ty Cobb was the arch egotist of baseball The Georgian never thought he was good—he knew he was. Yet he was sane enough to realize he iiad to be lucky to get where he did. Had the breaks gone against him, he might have been just another ball player. But the breaks never went against him. Not seriously, anyway. Cobb went through his long career without a major injury, and this in spite of the terrific tempo of his pace and the many daring chances he took. a tt I am reminded of Cobb and tbo breaks by an obacnre dispatch in the sports pace* which announces that Georre Sisler is rettinc ready to, or has just Joined the Rochester dub in the International League. This will be Sister’s first contact with the lower classes, and marks the definite end of an extraordinary major learue occupation. a a a Unlike Cobb. Sisler didn’t zet the breaks. It he had he might have gone on to become an even more illustrious performer than the Georgian, incredible as this may sound. As It was. Sisler compiled an alltime batting average of .340 —but this was nothing to what it might have been. a a u A LAUGHING, mocking fate molded Sisler into a super ball player and then made a frightful caricature of him all in the space of a few brief months. Nearing the close of his greatest season his vision left him. This was in 1922. In 142 games he made 246 hits and stole fifty-one bases for a batting average of .420. v a a a Ho was then playing first base for toe St. Louis Browns, sturdy contenders for the championship. The Browns had never won an American League pennant and

this looked to be their spot. All they had to do was to turn back Washington In a critical series. aftr which it would be hard to stop them. a a a The way they were tolar—or to be more exact—the way Sisler was roinr. this seemed simple enourh. Bat a day or so before the series started. Sisler was stricken. Over night a sinus infection had spread to the optle nerve and partial blindness had set in. Sisler didn’t play any more that season. The Browns didn't win their first pennant. And what was worse, they didn’t have Sisler at all the following season. a a a Seldom has the uncertainty of baseball been presented in a more tragic etching. A .420 hitter one year, a semi-blind man the next. I saw much of Sisler that following year. He used to come out to the park and sit in the upper stands back of third base. He wore heavy smoked glasses He could see well enough to get around, but that was about all. a a a As the months scudded by. his vision Improved by degrees and he began to take secret batting workouts. These were discouraging at first. He couldn’t ret his vis.on to focus. The ball came up to him in a blur, and when be swung he hit nothing. I never heard him say just when It was that he began to meet the ball again, but I can Imagine that this mast have been a memorable sensation. THREE PRO MATCHES Three pro and three amateur bouts make up tonight’s mat program at Tomlinson hall. Hassan Ahmed, Turk grappler.' and Merle Dolby clash in the feature. Buck Weaver meets Jackie Everson and Jack Domar will clash with Buck Lipscomb in other bouts. Three amateur bouts will get the card under way at 8:30 o’clock.
