Off The Backboard

BY VERN BOXELL IAM through with gatherings! During the last few days, my left ear has been having a big gathering, and it was a roaring, howling success. But I repeat, I am through ; with gatherings. This left-side hearing apparatus of mine felt like one of the wild right-hand punches Mr. Tracy Cox has been tossing around here for the last few weeks had bumped into it And even though I have disposed of the little mattering of gathering, a roaring remains which resembles Katie Smith singing “When the moon comes over the copyright owner, by special permission of the mountain.” . a a a While ynnr correspondent ha* been indersolnß repair*, very much ha* tram- j hired in the basketball world. In the flr*l place. Ole’ Backboard chujehußßed up to Lafayette several day* ago, intent upon seeing Purdue crowned champion* of the Bijr Ten, which ha* been marked down to "Bir Two"—Purdue and Northwestern—due to the depression in •he eight other basketball ramp*. With this accomplished, your correspondent putt-putted back to Indianapolis and dashed off a fitting soliloquy, in which be praised hi* own stamina—holding up under the terrific strain of seeing t he. t athedral-Washington, Butler-Notre Dame and Purdue-Northwestern games in two days, and penned the postscript that on Monday night he would he heading Bloomington-ward to see (of all things) Indiana try to knock off Purdue. ana By a queer stroke of fate and a tight Page, ole Backboard's opinion of Purdue and the announcement that he was going to attend the I. U.-Boilermaker and New-rastlr-Andfrson games were left out. It was just as well, for your correspondent's opinion oi the hardwood machine turned out by Mr. Lambert the Piggy Is the very common one—that It will take more than any of their rivals have to keep them way from that Big Ten title and that Messrs. Wooden. Keliar, Eddy, Fehrlng and Parmenter are too tough. And ole' Backboard never did make the Bloomington and Anderson trips! So while your humble servant dozed In the well-known hay and dreamed of a lend where there Is no basketball to worry about Mr. Dick Miller hammered out the dally chatter In a very satisfactory manner It was easy for him. He’s been writing about basketball and football for many season—way back when Backboard was a sensational sophomore substitute on the Marion second team. ana So when the flu flew, back came Backhoard. only to find that Mr. Eddie Ash, who is the Mead Man in this department, had chased down to Florida with the haseballcr*. leaving his assistant holding the well-known burlap. 1 hope he gets sun-burned! a a a OINCE Cathedral was not scheduled for action in the state Catholic turnamenfc until Saturday, and since Mr. Trian Stopusifucan, the Shortridge scribbler, was gentleman enough to send me a free ticket, I dropped in on that Wash-mgton-Shortridge thing Friday night. For the benefit of Mr. Trianetc., Backboard was the little guy behind the big fat lady in Row L, seat 85, balcony. One row more and I would have been standing in the Shortridge back yard. a a a But It was worth it, and 1 saw a very good basketball game. I was surprised j to see Mr. Kenny Peterman’s Blue Devils ! carry on in such a boisterious fashion j and knork off these Washington Continentals. I am Surprised that I was not swamped with “I told you so’s” from out nn the north side. Anyhow, the filberts who stop their hoarding and lay the iron men on the lino out at Tech next Friday morning arc going to he surprised when they see these Blue Devils get in there against Mr. Tiin Campbell’s Tech boys In that first round sectional game. a a a There is going to be lots of fun, and if Air. Campbell’s boys are really serious about wanting to beat Anderson and the rest of the teams in this regional, they are going to have to step some in that first sectional game, to say nothing of the rest of this sectional program next Friday and Saturday. Mr. Ihsaa certainly jined up a crowd getter when he pulled the local sectional schedule out of the hat and there is going to be gobs of that kind of action which the sports writers call ‘ heated.’’ Mr. Roland Jones’ Washington boys are having a late slump, but It's a good bet they'll be back among 'em when the tourney gets under way. MR. JOE DIENHART'S Cathe- I dral boys stepped out and won themselves a state championship, and I am not even surprised. If the local Irish boys had pulled the accordion act and folded up before grabbing that crown, the shock would have been terrific for your correspondent. Now they are talking about sending the Dienhart boys up to Chicago to play for the national crown, and if they decide to make the trip, there's more than a little j chance that the O'Connor, Ford. ' Sweeney, Clemmons and Markey I boys will come bacck with a U. S. j crown on their husky brows. a a a I am surprised that the state Catholic , association decided to let the hoys enter J this Loyola event, because there appeared to he a very good chance that when the I. H. S. A. A. and the I. C. H. R. A. A. got everything straightened out, the Catholic team* would be allowed to compete 1n mid-season tournaments. Which would have meant that Cathedral would have been in there playing for that Indianapolis championship, making the cheese more binding, as It were. But if the I. C. 11. | S. A. A. allows the hoys to go up In Chicago. this may be delayed for a couple of seasons, and the arguments will go on and on. a a a It also is brought to my attention that this Vincennes team which I ant riding with In this state championship derby took a nose dive at Martinsville the other night in an overtime game after leading 11 to 4 at the half. Why? Don't ask me riddles. All I know is that Mr. Glenn Curtis, the Artesian Aristotle, told me many moons ago that he had tricks ■which would make the Alices look like Mr. Humpty-Dumpty when Vincennes and Martinsville got together, any time, anv place. And I am beginning to believe the guy. But I know some more answers to that question, and I am still telling you .hat when it's all over. Mr. John Adams, the Alices, and ole' Backboard will be ready to accept congratulations.

Weintraub sent a couple of horsehides over the right field fence at Payne park Sunday.

Shortstop Ray White, from Oklahoma City, also attracted attention on the Sabbath as he hounded the ball around the infield. It is evident he is going to give Jonah Goldman a real battle for the position. Manager McCann, owner Norman Perry and Jack Hendricks were elated over the form the lad displayed. Bush Praises Rookie Another authority praising White Sunday was Ownie Bush, Minneapolis manager, who vacationed in Sarasota. Ownie left' today for Montgomery to take charge of his Millers. It was rumored he tried to make a deal for White after seeing the youth in the one drill. Bush and McCann held a conference and it is said there was much Player talk exchanged. They also posed for a picture. The Indians and Millers will lift the lid on the A. A. season in Indianapolis on Tuesday, April 12, ahd McCann and Bush declare they are determined to knock each others’ ears down. Bill Burwell failed to show up at the Sabbath practice and there was nothing new to report on his salary controversy. Owner Perry intimated his terms would not be changed, and that it’s all up to Burwell. The veteran right-hander has held out for a few days each spring. Many Holdouts Rumored The Tribe club is remaining silent on correct information, but its a good guess there is plenty of trouble. Pitchers John Berly, Ernie Wingard and Walter Miller were others among the missing today, and pitcher Joe Heving is on the sick list and unsigned. Catchers Johnny Riddle and Tom Angley were the subject of a controversy over the week-end that called for some discipline. They wintered in 'Sarasota and were living in an apartment which they desired to retain. The team bosses ordered them to join the other players at the Sarasota hotel and there was some hot opposition to this move on the part of the two backstops, especially by Angley. The Indians were dismissed from practice early Sunday afternoon and the boys hastened to the beach and golf links. It was rather cool on the sandy shores and a stiff breeze discouraged most of the bathers. Basket Drills Tried The basketball uprights at the ball park were removed today and replanted back of the bleachers. The backboards interfered with the infielders chasing fouls. The athletes warm up with the basketball before going to the diamond, and also top off their day’s work with a round of basket shooting. The medicine ball supplies another diversion from baseball routine. Manager McCann is giving Ed Lowell a lot of practice at first base and the Idaho husky looks the part of a dandy fielder. His batting skill is yet to be disclosed. McCann is taking practice at both first and second and is in splendid shape. Frank Sigafoos Ready Frank Sigafoos is on the job at second, his regular berth, and shows signs of having a better year in the field. He is an efficient right-handed hitter and particularly valuable when the bases are occupied. Jack Hendricks announced today that the double-header scheduled on Decoration day. May 30, the day of the 500-mile race in Indianapolis, would be split, one game in the afternoon and one game under the lights at night. One of the schedule changes for 1932 calls for the Indians to miss the Kentucky Derby at Louisville. LEONARD TRIES AGAIN By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 29.—Benny Leonard, 35-year-old former lightweight champian, will attempt another come-back tonight—in the welterweight division when he meets Billy McMahon, rugged New Yorker, in a ten-round bout at St. Nicholas gymnasium.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Len Ready By United Press LOS ANGELES, Feb. 29. Leonard Koenecke, the big outfielder who cost the New York Giants $75,000 in players, has arrived at camp ready for business. He modestly admitted he should hit at least .325 in the big league this year because he made .353 with Indianapolis last season in the American Association.

Venzke Sets Swift Pace By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—Track experts believe Gene Venzke can run the mile in 4 minutes 8 and 2-5 seconds. Those derby-hatted A. A. U. officials who stood at the finish line in Madison Square Garden Saturday night and saw the smooth-striding Pennsylvanian hang up the new 3:53 2-5 indoor record for 1,500meters, said that had he continued 120 yards further, he would have made the mile in 4:8 2-5. Such a performance would have clipped 4-5 of a second from the outdoor record held by the flying Frenchman, Jules Ladoumergue. Venzke, who already holds the indoor mile record of 4:10, seemed fresh and strong when he breasted the yarn.

“How do they look, Dave?” John McGraw must have asked. And Dave Bancroft, first aid to the master mind of the New York Giants, probably said, “Fine.” Anyhow, this is the first look McGraw had of his 1932 battery staff assembled at Wrigley park, Los Angeles, the new Giants’ training camp. The New York pilot had been delayed by a trip into New Orleans, where he signed Bill Terry, his star first baseman.

IRISH MAY SEEK U. S. NET TITLE

BY DICK MILLER Indiana's Catholic high school basketball championship today belonged to Joe Dienhart's brilliant Cathedral quintet. The local Irish court pastimers annexed the crown for the third time in five years by thumping Jasper academy in the finals of the annual tourney at the Armory Saturday night, 27 to 19. Cathedral and Jasper are eligible to compete in the national Catholic tourney to be held at Loyola U., Chicago, late in March, it was announced today. Huntington Leads Fight The move on the part of the state association to attend the national meet is a reversal of a previous stand which was in harmony with the Indiana High School Athletic Association and the Nationad Federation of High Schools, not to conduct or participate in national meets. The Catholic association board of control weeks ago voted to stay out of the national competition, but a clause in the constitution gave the membership a right to overrule the board by vote. An insurgent group, led by St. Mary’s of Huntington, who withdrew from the state meet last week, called for a vote Saturday. It carried by a scant margin. Brother William, principal of Cathedral, op* posed the proposal and Memorial Catholic of Evansville was not represented at the meeting but are believed against the move. Irish Lead at Half Brother William, Cathedral principal and director of the state tournament wired the names of the four semi-finalists to the Loyola authorities Saturday. Whether any Indiana teams will receive an invitation to the national meet is yet to be determined, but

Normal at Danville, 35 to 27. Miller also performed well for the winners, while Steidle and G. Reeves starred for Danville. Ed Krause dropped in six twopointers and five charity tosses to pace Notre Dame to its fourteenth consecutive cage triumph, a 39 to 23 decision over Army. The Cadets trailed 12 to 9at half time. Stecker and Besson led the West Pointers, while DeCook performed well for the Irish. Seigel and Gordon scored in the extra period to give N. A. G. U. a 25 to 23 overtime win over Valparaiso. Manchester bowed to Ball State, 34 to 26. McCammon and D. Dick starring for the winners, and Cullers and Johnson leading the Chesters. Earlham, led by Johnson and Maze, trounced Franklin, 39 to 28. The Grizzlies were paced by French and Owens. Indiana Law School bowed to Anderson, 27 to 18. Bird and M. Gaulke starred for the victors and Goeble led the losers.

if one is received Cathedral will enter Brother William said. In the final game Saturday night, the Cathedral five spurted to a 9-0 lead before Jasper scored a free throw. The half ended 21 to 5. All the Cathedral team scored from the field except Ford who was busy feeding his teammates and guarding the high scorer of the tournament, Berger, who scored only one field marker in the game. The second half was a repetition of the first, with several Cathedral subs in the game and the entire reserve team finishing the struggle. After the game a meeting of officials in charge of the meet selected a mythical all-tourney team composed of Clemens, Cathedral; Herr, Ft. Wayne, and Aubin, Jaseph as forwards; M. O’Connor, Cathedral and Berger of Jasper as centers, and Ford, Cathedral; Chandler, Washington and Thias, Vincennes as guards. The large trophy put up at the start of the Catholic high school tournaments five years ago now is in permanent possession of Cathedral as a three-time winner. The Irish won in 1928, 1929 and this year. Decatur Catholic and Washington are the only other trophy winners. The A1 Feeney sportsmanship medal, awarded annually to the player in the tournament showing best mental attitude, was voted to Odila Berger, big center of Jasper academy who was also leading scorer of the tournament with forty-six points. IRISH OUT OF MEET By Times Special SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 29. Announcement today of the 1932 outdoor track schedule for the Notre Dame cinder team by Coach John Nicholson discloses the Irish will not take part in the state championship meet in defense of their 1931 title. A dual meet with Army on that date, May 28, will prevent the entry, Nicholson said BURKE OPEN WINNER By Times Special BELLAIR, Fla., Feb. 29.—8i11y Burke, national open champion, captured the Florida west coast open golf championship here Sunday with a 72-hole total of 288. two strokes ahead of Johnny Farrell. After going wild in the first two rounds, Gene Sarazen came back strong Sunday to card two sub par rounds of 69 and 70 and finish third with 291. John Watson of South Bend, Ind., only Hoosier to qualify, carded a 72-hole total of 304. KRUSKAMP TOPS BILL Hardy Kruskamp. popular heavyweight grappler. will renew his mat campaign here Friday night by taking on Turkey Bey, rough European veteran, at the Armory in a two falls out of three headline event. Kruskamp’s victory string was snapped by Joe Savoldi here recently, while Bey was disqualified in his last start here against A1 Baffert for unnecessary roughness. Two other events are being signed.

Three men watched with interest the opening workout of the New York Yankees at their St. Petersburg (Fla.l training camp. The gentlemen (in the order of their importance?) are, left to right: George Herman (Babe) Ruth, Manager Joe McCarthy and Lyn Lary. While Ruth is still a holdout, he couldn’t resist the lure of the ball park. In golf clothes, the Bambino took his regular turn in batting practice.

Gone Again By United Press MINERAL WELLS. Tex., Feb. 29.—Luke Appling, lean, freckled-faced shortstop for the Chicago White Sox, is missing again.
