767 PREP QUINTETS READY FOR NET SECTIONALS

Field Will Drop to 64 in Week-End Play Forty-One Host Teams Favored to Survive Tests Friday and Saturday; Many Brilliant Battles Predicted in Other Centers. BY DICK MILLER Secret practice sessions were In order this week as 675 contenders for the twenty-first annual Indiana High School Athletic Association basketball championship smoothed their defensive and offensive play for the sectional tournament action Friday and Saturday. Only six’y-iour teams will survive the two-day elimination struggles at the sixty-lour centers. The entray list this year is only one more than 1931, eight teams failing to get their blanks in before the deadline. Dopesters have figured that in forty-one of the sixty-four centers to name the sectional champion is but a matter of writing down the name of the host team in the winner’s space. Most of the sectional action is carded at the county seats, and the edge, if the tournament is in doubt, naturally shifts to the entertaining five.

Outside the list of forty-one, many hectic battles for title laurels are predicted. Martinsville is doped to come through at Bloomington, and Tennyson, boasting a mighty five, is favored at Boonville. Wingate Is Threat Rensselaer carries a shade at Brook, while Wingate looms as a big threat to Crawfordsville. Central of Evansville's pocket city superiority appears doomed, with Bosse and Reitz as the title threats. All Ft. Wayne teams are in the lower bracket in that sectional and •South Side or Decatur is favored. The Gary play is a wide open affair, with several good teams clashing in the first round. None of the Gary teams mix until the second round. Froebel of Gary and Washington of East Chicago, two powerful fives, are probably second-round foes and the winner is conceded the edge to win the sectional. Nappanee Gets Nod Although Central of south Bend is favored by some in the Goshen sectional, Nappanee, recent conqueror of Washington (East Chicago) in the Northern Indiana conference title tussle, looms as the likely survivor. Elkhart is another strong team in that district. Winner of the Tech-Shortridge game, with the east siders favored, is the top choice in the local sectional. Washington and Southport nlos rate as dangerous threats. Petersburg has the shade at Jasper, and Jefferson, small b, speedy, is favored to come through at Lafayette. Linton gets the nod from some at Lyons, but the home-town boys also arc worrying about Switz City. Solsberry, the real favorite, failed to get under the wire with its entry blank. Bedford, Jeff Favorites Versailles is the chief hope at Milan, but Batesville also rates highly. Bedford is the probable victor at Mitchell and Jeffersonville probably will be the survivor at ! New Albany. Fowler tops the field at Oxford, French Lick is regarded a standout at Paoli, and Oakland City is the favorite at Princeton, ' where Owens\*ille also is regarded I dangerous. Rising Sun will battle Vevay at I Rising Sun, and Logansport is! figured “in” at Royal Center. Columbus and Shelbyville both are rated as state title contenders, but one of them will be eliminated when they get together in a secssstional battle. The writer favors Co-

Down the Alleys BY LEFTY I.EE

A season of brilliant scoring was ! climaxed by Johnny Fehr while | rolling in the Indianapolis League Wednesday night, the Coca-Cola | leadoff starting his 723 series with a perfect 300 count. We have been telling about the "tap” that robbed this and that bowler of a perfect game during the season, so it will be refreshing to hear that old lady luck played a large part when Fehr reached the heights, his all-im-portant final ball carrying a high hit that looked like a sure 3-10 split. The first eleven strikes were in that old pocket, however, and his final heave had plenty of “stuff” to bring the A. B. C. gold medal award and a check for $25 from the Pritchett Recreation, on whose alleys this game was rolled. Congratulations, Johnny. Carl Mindach rolline In the Uptown LcaKue. was close to anew citv record. 771 Dins fallinc for him in the three camcs. This is the best three game series rolled on the north side drives this season. Paul Stemm and Maury Enncrt also hit the pins in ereat style, having marks of 684 and 683. Other 600 counts were Koehler. 671; A. Hanna. 664: Kromer. 664: Bentlev. 659: Shaw. 656: Kemper. 651; Porsvthe. 636: Schock 622: Kellv. 616; Roberson 605: Green. 601. and Dvnes. 601, Team plav found the Beam Recreation leading the field with a total of 3.108 tnat gave them an add came win over Giesen. Coca Cola and Prima also won two from Selmeir and Citv Candv. as Hanna and Aueustiner took the scries front Tip-ton-Lvtle and Omar. Bill Sargent has arranged for a singles classic for K of C. bowlers to run the fife of the national tournament, for the Delaware allevs. which he manages. Sargent is a member of the local K of C. No 437 and the Delaware drives are the home allevs of the local K. of C. howling league. Entry fee for this shoot is $5 per man. and an attractive prize list is guaranteed the winners. The head pin tournament plav will be res ’'med on the Central allevs Saturday and Sunday. One renort that would set Ripley to wondering is the 338 scored bv Arch Heiss to take the lead. A perfect score for three games in head pin nlnv is V, 0 , Tl \ e tetmrt stated that Heiss missed the head pin three times to roll this total.

SO this is spring training! You’d think 38-year-old Bing Miller might have outgrown his leapfrog days. But here’s proof that he hasn’t. Bing and Mickey Cochrane, below, got up this little game the other day at Ft. Myers, Fla., where the American League champion Athletics are conditioning for 1932.

and the penalty for missing the head pin is ten each time. The answer is Heiss. did not miss that head pin. as reported. Hollenbeck Press, Pritchett Pickups and Coca-Cola won three games from Vollmer Brothers, Trule and Wheeler Lunch, the Coca-Cola team turning in a three-game total of 3,159 to take their set and lead this loop. Underwood Transfer. Union Title, Liebtag Barbers and Marotts were victors of two out of three over OefteringLitzelman Coal. St. Philip's A. C.. Fall Cityy Lager and Gregory & Appel. Other totals over the 600 mark in addition to Fehr's 723, were Heiss, 652; Coval. 612; Abbott, 648: Roth. 617; Stick. 619; E. Striebeck, 600: Schott. 615; Schleimer, 639; Hansen. 640; F. Liebtag. 605; Hunt, 603; A1 Meyer, 646; Wilmoth. 619; Cobler. 650; Rassmussen, 612: Carmin, 647, and Hornbeck, 632. Chuck Klein bade farewell to the boys around the Pritchett drives, rolling a 592 in the last series he will play in the Indianapolis League until next season. If wishes come true. Chuck will be the holder of the all-time home run record when the curtain rings down on the 1932 baseball season, the Phillies outfielder being arm weary from the good-by wishes of friends. Bill Faust hit a 211 and 594 to lead the Van Camp League in all departments of play at the Pritchett alleys. Team results showed a triple win for Soup from Milk and an odd game win for Tomato Juice. Bean Hole Bean and Pumpkin from Pork and Bean. Catsup and Spaghetti. The final week-end of play in the Davis Jewelry 400 doubles will be rolled on the Illinois alleys Saturday and Sunday. The Davis Company, sponsors of this meet, will donate a watch to the player rolling high three-game total. At present. Wooden is in the lead with a mark of 711. Entry fee is $1.25 per man, players being permitted to roll as often as partners are changed.

Greentree Stable Enters Six in Derby, All Long Shots

'BY THOMAS H. NOONE United Pres* Racing Editor NEW YORK, March 1. Mrs. Payne Whitney’s Greentree stable, winner of last year's Kentucky Derby with Twenty Grand, leads the 1932 nomination with six candidates. Four colts, a gelding and a filly comprise the list. Curacao, a Dominant-Maracaibo colt, has the best record of this number. In eight starts last year he won twice, placed twice and finished third on three occasions. His victories were in the Grab Bag handicap at Saratoga and an unimportant overnight event. His earnings were $5,350. A powerful looking bay with a diamond-shaped, blazed face and a white stockinged right hind leg, Curacao weighs 1,050 pounds and measures slightly more than twelve hands in height. He is regarded by Bill Brennan, his trainer, as the best Derby timber of this uncertain lot, but is regarded as no better than a 300-to-l chance in the winter books. Semaphore, a Pennant colt out of Fresnay that got away to a good start as a juvenile is Brennan’s second choice, but is quoted at only 100 t,o 1 by betting commissioners. An aristocratic looking fellow with beautiful white and chestnut colorings, he is easily the best looking

| thoroughbred in the Greentree stable. Jib Boom, the gelding, is by Whiskbroom II out of Jibber Jib. His record is unimpressive and Brennan did not enthuse over him. Byzantine, a Brown Prince 11-Theo-dora offspring, is a rather weak looking colt and has shown nothing to date. Both are 300 to 1 shots. Tweeney, the filly, is by St. Ger-mans-Untidy and has wintered at the Greentree stables in New Orleans. She is not regarded as being of Derby caliber. All the Greentree eligibles, but Byzantine are homebreds. Mrs. Whitney purchased him as a yearling at the Saratoga sales and is ; reported to have paid a fancy sum | for him.
