Touchdown! iy United Press NEW HAVEN. Conn., Feb. 2 5 Absentmindedness of A. Thomas Taylor of St. Joseph, Mo., Yale varsity football half back and substitute basketball forward, gave an unexpected laugh to persons who saw the Yale quintet defeat Williams. 26 to 18, Wednesday night. Tommy hadn’t played much this season. With only a few minutes to play and a safe margin of goals, Coach Elmer Ripley sent him into the game. It was his “big moment.” The ball bounded into Taylor’s arms at the Yale end of the court. Tucking it under his arm and lowering his head he plunged down the court for a touchdown.

HOOSIER CATHOLIC SCHOOLS SQUARE OFF FRIDAY

Nine Squads Entered in Play at Armory Local Cathedral Basket Squad Set to Strive for Title in Fifth Annual Struggle; Southern Indiana Fives High Among Contenders. Nine teams staged workouts today for the fifth annual Indiana Catholic high school basketball championship tournament, to be held at the Armory Friday and Saturday. The withdrawal of St. Mary’s of Huntington, because of the death of the Rev. R. E. Kelly, caused a revamping of the Friday night schedule, moving the two other games of the evening back a half hour each Withdrawal of St. Mary s will send Cathedral into the semi-finals without previous opposition.

Dope from the southern end of the state favors either Catholic high of Washington, also known as St. Simeons, and defending chamI pions, dr Jasper Academy as the leading contenders for the 1932 title. Cathedral, in spite of its enviable record of only three games lost, and those to top notch quintets, is not given serious consideration by the southern scribes and probably will upset their dope bucket. Old Squads Intact Both Washington and Jasper have their 1931 teams practically intact, losing but one man from their first fives. Although Jentral Catholic of Ft. Waynd has been defeated by Cathedral this season, loss of men in the action by the foul route turned the tide in favor of local lads and proved conclusively the Ft. Ft. Wayne lads are powerful. Another* strong quintet almost certain to have final say in the outcome of the local event Is Catholic Central of Hammond. Recently this team battled the fast Hammond Tech five to a standstill, losing in the final seconds by three points. Starting Time Changed Instead of games at 7, 8 and 9, Friday night, two tilts will be played at 7:30 and 8:30, both winners to go to the semi-finals Saturday afternoon. The meet proper will get underway at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon with Jasper and Reitz Memorial of Evansville clashing in the initial fray. Dope favors the academy boys to crash through. Decatur, always a strong five, will meet an acid test in the 3 o'clock game when it clashes with the fast Gibault five of Vincennes. Other Games The winners of these two games will meet in the 8:30 p. m. game Friday, making them the only teams required to play two games the first day. Washington high should breeze through its tilt with St. Mary’s of Anderson in the 4 p. m. game and reach the semi-finals. The last game of the first round brings together the Hammond and Ft. Wayne fives. Joe Dienhart, coach, has his Cathedral of Indianapolis lads in great condition for the impending state struggle and followers of the local pastimers believe the title will be brought back to the capital city.

Off The Backboard

by dick miller Pinch Hitting for Vern Boxell WELL, well, well. The Shortridge Lil is back. Frank, no Lil, asked us to pardon the pink stationery with gold trimmings, because it was all the girl next door had to loan him. But it carried the message just the same. Here ’tis: ™E P ,YT5 cl T 0 U d ”7 Just a weeks ago I mentioned that, when Shortridge got out 2L 1 *ulunrm it would come thundering down the home stretch. „.weli. it seems the north siders have EL2~ ce . d v we had drooped one and Doi 2 t decisions to Cathedral.

A couple of vour readers cracked off about me not writing for the last few weeks. Well, whv write when a team wins five out of its last six games? Thev do ? 1 need me to tell how good thev are. Another thing. Let it be known that Cathedral wouldn t have a chance against Tech. (I m sorrv. but it’s true.! O. K. field house here we come. Yours THE SHORTRIDGE LIL. Just to save the Kathedral Kid a two cent stamp, we recall that Cathedral did beat Southport and Washington and Connersville. So the argument still waxes If any one really cares. IF you happen not to recall, we mention that Boxell, for whom we are pinch-hitting, even if we do fan out, picked himself an all-state team last Monday just before the flu put him on the bench. It was Vern’s choice of the boys he had been looking at all season long. Vern had Huffman, the big guard of Newcastle, at back guard position. That selection, even though it probably meets approval of the “big shot” coaches, officials and observers of the state, drew the wrath of Ripley II of Southport. He writes: Dear Vern: ?2 u *£ I 4 0r 9 ardin ls added another t ?, l & eir list b V embarrassing Beech if JV If i her / ?? er was a flne back guard crA of i the Cardinals. Southport isn t in the class of Newcastle, orobablv P*I er c W 1 $ e - u Ut , Lamn of Southport is lust, as good a back guard as Huffman. orS e /°H! and tak f care of Edwards of Tech t . over 00k the fact that Vincent Schaeffer is going at a terrific clip for a sophomore. Give mv regards to Kathedral Kid. He can surelv nick his winners. Au revoir. but not goodbye. RIPLEY n. Well, maybe the sectional will give Lamb a trial against Edwards, but we doubt if they get together that he can hold Edwards. Me thinks Vern was right in nicking Huffman. For further information we refer him to the dozen or so who have found Mr. Ripley wrong, or at least they charge he is. about that fraction and decimal problem recently. Wonder if Ripley II could be wrong about some of his basketball judgment? WE notice that Napanee won the eastern division crown of the northern Indiana high school conference with six games won and one lost. La Porte and Goshen are tied for second place, one full game behind. Washington at East Chicago led the western division half of a game, nosing out Froebel and Valparaiso, who tied for second half a game in the rear. Napanee and Washington clash at East Chicago Friday night for the title of the entire loop. Napanee eased into the title position because Michigan City, after defeating them, had to forfeit the victory because of an ineligibility.

tt tt Attention is called to the fact that if Tech defeats Kokomo Friday night and wins the North Central conference title, nosing out Newcastle by a scant margin, that Newcastle defeated the Arsenalites by the terrific score of 35-8 recently. tt tt tt And it was Muncie who cracked the Hookermen last Friday night bv a top heavy score. It sent them from the lead of the conference hoop and sort of dimmed Newcastle’s title hones a bit. too. The reason is that Newcastle plays in the Muncie regional and the winner, onlv one. comes to the Butler fleldhouse. Muncie seems to have the hoodoo on the Troians at Bearcat town in tournament plav. tt tt tt In the Southeastern conference western division, Scottsburg with nine wins and no losses leads the loop while in the western division Batesville leads by a half game over Lawrenceburg. BBS Vincennes has a half-game margin lead in the southern Indiana conference with ten games won and three lost. Columbus is second with three games lost, but has won only nine. I. U.

Campbell Sets Three Marks, Seeks 6 More Daredevil Briton to Bullet Bluebird Over Daytona Sands Again Today After Hurtling to 253-Mile-an-Hour Record Wednesday in First Test. BY JACK TROY United Press Staff Correspondent DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 25.—Dissatisfied with his three world automobile speed records set Wednesday, Captain Sir Malcolm Campbell, hawk-faced British racing driver, was determined to bullet over the beach today in his supercar Bluebird for six new world records. Flashing over the white coral sands Wednesday like a blurred, blue streak. Sir Malcolm and his car established the following amazing record average speeds for three distances: 1. One mile. 253.968 miles an hour, bettering his own record by 8 2-5 miles an hour. 2. One kilometer. 251.340 miles an hour, bettering his own record bv 5.20 miles an hour. 3. Five kilometers, 241.569 miles an hour, bettering his own record bv 22.524 miles an hour.

Only a broken timing device prevented him from hanging up anew mark forfive miles. One of the traps broke. Timers were unable to clock him for that distance. All records were made during the same two twelve-mile runs, southward and northward on the beach. Today, Sir Malcolm was prepared to shatter records for one mile, one kilometer, five miles, five kilometers, ten miles and ten kilometers. Wants Ten-Mile Record Late Wednesday night, the lean Britisher with the blistered hands announced: “I shall definitely attempt to better all records up to ten miles Thursday if beach conditions remain good.’’ At midnight, with the tide partly ebbed, the beach presented the same pavement-like surface as Wednesday. Moreover, there was no indication of heavy winds to deter the record attempts. When Sir Malcolm shot down the beach on his spectacular first run, he took timing officials and spectators by surprise because it had been understood this run was merely to have been a trial. But, sensing the co-ordination between perfect beach and roaring metor, he stepped on the gas and plunged southward at such speed that officials could scarcely believe their own timing devices. Makes Quick Return Without waiting for an inspection of tires or mechanism, the daring pilot, squeezed low' in the cockpit and huddled over the huge wheel, turned the Bluebird under its own power at the twelve-mile post and aimed his blue projectile northward. He streaked over the course, brought the hurtling craft to a halt before the stands and leaped out. The A. A. A. timers announced thfe official clocking as follows: One mile, south, 13 36 seconds, at 267.459 miles an hour; north. 14.89 seconds, at 241,773 miles an hour. Two-way average, 14.175 seconds and 253.968 miles an hour. Campbell had established his previous records of the one mile. 245.733 miles an hour, and one kilometer, 246.086 miles an hour, at Daytona Beach Feb. 25, 1931. He made his five-kilometer record of 216.045 miles an hour at Verneuk Pan. South Africa, April 26, 1929.

Pennsylvania—ls you had known that address last week, Jim, you’d be 10% better off today.”
