Off The Backboard

BY VERN BOXELL YEH, rnd if Ole’ Man Upset doesn't take a vacation next Friday and Saturday, you may be watching Columbia City and Winamac in the title tussle next Saturday night. If all the surprises in the sectional and regional tournaments were laid end to end and snapped into a right angle at the middle, the corner would be so far away prosperity never would find it. And if these one and two point ball-in-the-air finishes continue through the first-round games next Friday, the local hospitals will be crowded and the boys will be playing to vacant seats Saturday, providing the boys themselves survive the excitement. With all the close scores, riots, etc., ole' Backboard is surprised that all the shooting was done by the basketball players and time-keepers during the last two week-ends. From the point of view up here, it looks like the lucky 14.500 fans are going to see some real basketball next Friday and Saturday. If you still believe in dope after the first two elimination tourneys, you can unhoard your shekels and put 'em on Vincennes and Tech in the finals. And I’m still picking Vincennes. Brave guy, tne. tt tt tt All right, KGB. "Vineenni>s, yon are nnxt Saturday night’s title winner. Mr. f . G. Brnuillette of the Washington Rrouillette's has announced that he is barking Vincennes now. a tt tt Mr. Dick Miller. The Times' sky-riding correspondent, Is somewhere In the north }? da V;, . W s cn Dl ? k and Mr Dlck Arnett, i£U p i°fc. drop .?r, < ? down 81 Municipal airport Friday, Miller shook the Icicles oft V. *? ce ’ , w . a sss!sted out of his flying fult by ole Backboard, who broke two durln( f th,! operation and rePd „ that , Seymotir is going to be a real Saturday 1 *° r the tltlc ncxt Kridav and Dick picked up some red hot late dope on his trip south Sunday. You’ll find it all on today’s sport pages. The northern side of theargument will be presented by Miller on Tuesday. • tt tt tt ALL is quiet on the MuncieNcwcastle front. Muncie is disappointed naturally. They thought they were due to repeat their 1931 championship performance. Many others were of the same opinion’ and the Bear Cats truly were a great team. That “before the gun or after the gun" shot by Billy Thoman, Newcastle’s great forward, still is the chief topic of discusssion all over j Indiana—especially at Newcastle I and Muncie. Here are three versions. Mr. Pole Jolly, Muncic’s coach, was on •hr bench just a few feet from Thoman when the final gun fired. "I roiild have stretched out and tonehed him," Pete said. "And he still had the hall in his hand when the gun fired." "Shuck (Muncie guard) was standing directly in front of Thoman and he told me j that his first thought when the gun fired j was ’Well, he didn’t get to shoot that one.’ | "The referee was ten or fifteen feet hack j of the plav. When the gun sounded, he j signaled the goal didn't count. Then the j hlg argument started. I thought we’d won. j Newcastle fans and others rushed out and cornered the officials. Arguments followed and I started back to the dressing room.” Pete contended that he was asked by some Newcastle officials to "he a sport” and urge the officials to allow the basket since Muncie "had won the right to the state title tourney four years.” With the time-keeps disagreeing, Pete says the decision was left to the referee, who finally announced he couldn’t remember what had happened during the | last minute of play, and therefore could not give a decision. Ward Gilbert, the umpire, suggested a three-minute overtime plav. but Newcastle pastlmcrs already had visited the showers, dressed and departed. Pete said. Finally Gilbert announced his decision in favor of Newcastle. That's Pete's story. It was a hard blow for Jolly and Muncie. Twice in the last three minutes Newcastle got the ball, and twice young Billy Thoman arched the sphere through the hoop for two points. , "And Jack Mann plaved the greatest game of his careet," concluded Pete. "Gee, i hate It for the boys’ sake. They certainly did play basketball, and It was a real game all the way. tt tt tt All right, here we are in Newcastle. Mr. j Robert Stranahan speaking: “Well, we feel pretty good over here i today. Hickman's got a bad ankle. He 1 it in the Winrhester game. But j Hook says he’ll be ready to go Friday i "Oh, about Thoman’s last minute field 1 goal against Muncie. Well, there never was any question about it in Hooker's | mind. He knew all the lime his Trojans had won. He was afraid he might be I talked out of it some way. That’s why j he rushed to the timer’s bench right after (he gun. "And verse their derision. They”"only"i*Tiide“one —and that was that Newcastle won. It 1 was several minutes after the game had j ended.” tt tt it Okay. Connersville. In Connersville. some of the red-hot fans decided to make a day of it. They jumped up to Muncie for the BearcatTrojan fray and back to Connersville to see the Spartans play Rushvllle at night. Say. there wasn't any question about It. This field goal Craig made against Rushvllle in the final game was a lot closer. Thai Newcastle boy had the ball in the air when the game ended. Craig’s shot wasn't more than three feet away from him when the gun fired down here.” tt tt tt Ron’t ask me. All I know is that the official score Is Newcastle 30, Muncie 13, and now my Alices have to spank the Trojans instead of Muncie. HENRYS KEEP CROWN By Times Special KANSAS CITY, Mo„ March 14. !

TRIBE TESTS CARDS TUESDAY, YANKS ON FRIDAY

Times’ ‘Sky Riders’ Visit Eight Southern Victors in Cage Race

Confidence High in Camps of Regional Champions; Seymour’s Rangy Five Looms as Dark Horse; Miller and Arnett Head North Today. BY DICK MILLER ABOARD THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES REGIONAL AIR SPECIAL, March 14.—Battling snow and strong head winds, the Indianapolis Times airplane special took off for the north this morning to visit eight cities winding up its two-day serenade of regional tournament champions. Sunday the plane and its cargo of basketball dope seekers made a whirlwind dash around the southern loop, calling on the eight regional champions in that section who will be among the sixteen teams to fight it out for the 1932 Indiana high school basketball championship at Butler fleldhouse next Friday and Saturday. Shortly after 9 Sunday morning, Dick Arnett of the Central Aeronautical Corporation gave the little Waco “F” the gun and zoomed from the Municipal airport, heading into the wintry blasts from the west, bound for Greencastle. A few minutes later the Waco dropped down into the lair of the Tiger Cubs, runners up to Muncie for the 1931 championship and again a serious contender as they work for the last lap of games this week-end

C. B. (Eddie) Edmonson, coach of j the Cubs, was assistant to W. L. : Bausman last year and he knows | the ability of his proteges in relation to their 1931 strength. We have Eddie’s word for it that the Cubs are much stronger than i last year, and he lays victory in | several games this season, especially I the two regional games Saturday, directly on the doorstep of experience. Greencastle defeated Crawfordsville and Clinton because they “had the punch.” Wiley Is Hopeful And Edmonson figures that inasmuch as only three of the sixteen teams who were in the final games at the fleldhouse are back again this year, the other two being Bluffton and Wiley of Terre Haute, Greencastle has a wonderful chance. Heading the Waco skyward, it was only a few minutes until we landed in Terre Haute, where Maurice Kennedy, Wiley coach, was on hand to greet us. Kennedy is celebrating his secqnd season as coach of the Red Streaks, and this is the second consecutive year for Kennedy and Wiley at the state finals. Kennedy found time to tell what a fine guard this young fellow Fennimore is when it comes to stopping the foul line pivot play—and Brazil should know. Wiley won again this year because Kennedy never allowed them to give up, and while Brazil was figured in as regional champs at Martinsville, the Red Streaks take dark horse stall No. 1. Alices Boast Size Taking to the cross winds, Arnett sent The Times Special southward, and while the writer thought the town to the left was Sullivan, he learned a few minutes later that he was in Vincennes. Speed—you said it. Ten years ago, veteran John Adams coached the Vincennes Alices to a state title, and he has eyes on (Turn to Page 11)

New Stars

* vjyfl •

A PAIR of aces—that’s the way camp followers are pointing out young Bill Prince (above) and John Berly, rcokie slabmen at the spring training site of Emmet McCann’s Indians. Berly is expected to be the mainstay of McCann’s mound corp in the 1932 Association race. He’s shown Tribe officials plenty to talk about in his early work and is the probable choice for the opening day game with the Millers here April 12. Berly came to the Hoosiers from the New York Giants in the Koenecke deal. Prince is a youngster up from Waterloo of the Mississipi Valley loop. He’s shown signs of promise in his training work and may catch on. Inability to locate the plate consistently is his one big weakness.

Tech Gains Berth in Final Cage Tourney

Sixteen Hoosier scholastic quintets today remained in the race for the 1932 prep cage crown. They will battle at Butler field house next Friday and Saturday. Anew champion will be crowned in the final tussle Saturday night. Muncie’s Bearcats, victors in the 1931 title campaign, were ousted from the race by Newcastle in one of the many upsets registered in Saturday’s regional battles. Tim Campbell’s lanky Tech quintet survived two severe tests Saturday to gain a berth in the final games at Butler Friday and Saturday. A thrilling finish, with Edwards counting a two-pointer a few seconds before the final gun, gave Tech a 16-to-14 decision over andria’s courageous Tigers in the first round regional game here. Alexandria’s husky warriors put up a stubborn battle all the way, rallying in the final minutes to tie the score and then let victory slip away in the final seconds. In the final fray of the local regional, the east siders downed the battling Danville five, 32 to 25.

Indian Runner, Big Beau Headley Threats in Derby

BY THOMAS H. NOONE United Press Bacine Editor NEW YORK, March 14.—Hal Price Headley has a double-barrel Derby battery in Indian Runner and Big Beau, and both are likely starters in the May 7 classic. Indian Runner, a brown gelding by Dis Done out of Indian Maiden, is a half brother to Top Flight. He is a 25 to 1 chance in the future books, while his stablemate, a Bay Supremus-Big Sis colt, is 30 to 1. Starting eleven times in 1931, Indian Runner won four races, finished second twice and ran third a like number of times. His earnings of only 54.375 fail to tell the full story of this gelding’s prowess, however. Big Beau, making ten starts as a 2-year-old, won only one race, a maiden affair at Saratoga. He al- \ ways gave his best, however, and

Hoosiers Show Punch in Tie Fray With A’s; Sunday’s Tilt Delayed

Cold Forces Postponement Until March 27; Infield Troubles Worry Tribe Bosses; Yoter. Kroner Sign: Berly, Wingard, Cooney Draw Major Scouts. BY EDDIE ASH Timr* Snort Editor cARASOiA. Fla , March i4.—Old Man Winter played a return engagement in the spring training camp of the Indians over the week-end and the lap of spring was coated with ice. The Philadelphia Athletics landed in Sarasota Sunday, stopped for a cup of coffee and beat it out of the city in short order. Eddie Collins, in cnarge of the American League champions, declared there wasn’t a chance of his team performing during the cold wave and he took his athletes ana embarked for ihe interior of Florida to try his luck in the orange belt. In other words the return contest with Mackmen was chilled out and today the Tribesmen and White Elephants got together on the phone and arranged anew date, March 27. in Sarasota.

The teams collided in Ft. Meyers Saturday and went to a draw. 9 and 9, rain bringing an end to action in the eighth inning. It was the first contest of the spring for the Indians and they looked the part of a battling crew outhitting the major leaguers 14 to 10. Both sides used three hurlers, with two rookies operating for each team, and it developed into an interesting struggle for the men of Emmett McCann, who were in fighting mood and stepped out and surprised the smalll crowd with an exhibition of spirit and hustle. The Hoosiers uncorked the old punch and would have waltzed in with the day’s laurels had it not been for a couple of explosions on the part of two rookie twirlers, Thomas and Logan. The infield of the Indians failed to measure up to expectations during the melee and the Athletics took advantage of bases on balls and erratic play on the inner works to gain a tie before a rainstorm chased everybody out of the park. Elmer Yoter and Johnny Kroner, both third sackers, reported over the week-end and signed their contracts. Harry Rosenberg, outfielder, also checked in, cutting the holdout list to two men, both pitchers—Bill Burwell and Joe Heving. Waivers were obtained on Burwell, but Owner Norman Perry was

Danville conquered Westland in a matinee tussle, 34 to 17. Playing steady ball and dividing the scoring honors, Tech stepped into a 9-to-6 lead at the quarter.

Martin and Edwards, who scored all of Danville’s field goals, the former getting five and the latter four, led a rally which brought the count to 19 to 18, Tech, but the east siders stepped out and won handily. Danville battled all the way, but the superior height and speed of Tech told the story. There were no stars for Tech, the five pastimers used sharing honors.
