OLD RIVALS IN SECTIONAL TUSSLES HERE

Shortridge Meets Manual, Ben Davis Plays Southport in Semi-Final Basket Tilts Winners at 2 and 3 o'clock This Afternoon at Tech Gym Will Clash Tonight in Final; Tech, Washington, Castleton and New Bethel Join Losers. • BY DICK MILLER Shortridge. Manual. Ben Davis and Southport remained in the battle for the Indianapolis sectional title of the twenty-fourth annual Indiana High School Athletic Association basketball tournament at Tech gym today following completion of first-round and quarter-final games yesterday. The draw for the semi-final tilts this afternoon, which calls for two ancient city rivals, Shortridge and Manual, to meet in the 2 p. m. game, and Ben Davis and Southport to meet at 3, insures a city-county clash for the locai title at 8 tonight.

Similai elimination play in 63 other sectional centers yesterday eliminated more than half of the 781 contenders who started in the tournament. Today's play will further reduce the field to 64 sectional champs who will gather in 16 regional centers of four teams each next Saturday to reduce the field to 16 survivors. Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16, will find the select 16 gathered at Butler fieldhouse here for the final games that will determine w’ho is king. Logansport, 1934 winner still remained in the competition at its home center last night, having defeated New Waverly 58-20 in a firstround game. Local Rivalry Strong Now, back to the local action yesterday, when the county champions. Decatur Central, and tKe city champions, Washington, bit the dust. Tech's vaunted Green eleven likewise took a sideline seat and the competition for the first round and quarter-finals was considered the best seen here in a long time. Ben Davis put on a last-quarter drive against Washington that labeled the Giants as the real threat for the local title They were tied with Washington, 4-4, at the first j quarter, but went into an 11-8 lead by half-time. Three foul-line shots j by Hiatt out of four attempts meant | the difference. Hooser missed two for the Continentals and Emrich and Lasley one each. The West Siders put on a spurt in the second half that netted five points and brought them up to a 13-13 tie, but Schoettlin looped one in as the gun cracked to give the Giants players a 15-13 margin at the three-quarter post. In the last quarter Hiatt carried the load with three field buckets. He was helped by Schoettlin, Finchum. Price and Johnson, who scored one each. Frieje, a sub, sent the score to ‘3O-17 as the final seconds ticked away. Lasley, with three field . markers, was Washington's chief scorer. Cardinals Overpower Tech Tech revealed just one winning punch, that in the first 50 seconds of the second half. It netted three Lefty Gomez Asks 2-Year Contract Bit United Press NEW YORK, March 2.—Lefty Vernon Gomez, leading pitcher in the American League last season, is frolicsome and ready for another big year with the New York Yankees — if they meet his terms. He was a holdout today for a twoyear contract at $27,000 a year. Regardless of whether he gets what he wants, the tall Irish-Cas-tilian from California will not sign for the salary he received last season. He indicated it was $13,500. "They offered me a raise over the contract I found watiing for me, but not enough,” he said. "The contract called for the same figure I received last year, and they're going to have to hike it plenty.”

The count was 7-7 at half time, and while Banta, Quebe, Langley, Winchell and Hickman were each gaining a field goal in the last half, Cook, a lightweight, was heavy at the foul line and six of eight attempts and tw'o field goals to keep Acton right in the battle.

'T'HE ‘‘swan song” became the "sparrow song” for Washington at the Tech gym last night. The Ben Davis Giants and Washington's Continentals tvere fighting along toe to toe, with Ben Davis holding a slight edge late in the third period tvhen Mr. Sparrow 7 made his appearance up in the proximity of the rafters.

It was all right so long as he droned around overhead getting a bird’s-eye view 7 of the struggle—no one seemed to mind. But when he swooped dow'n on the playing floor and began to flit around between the players legs, one of the teams yelled for time. There were those present who cried that it was a bat, but Backboard, after close observation of the creature as it grazed his shoestrings and a studious consultation with the conservation department, insists that it was only a frightened little sparrow. Then the fun began. During the time-out, w'hich extended over four minutes, fans and officials joined in an effort to “bag the beast” as he skimmed slowly around the floor. The sparrow appeared tired, and a neat threepoint landing w 7 as expected momentarily. Umpire T. R. Smith took his sweat jacket in hand and made several vicious swipes at the maurauder as he winged by to no avail. Someone suggested that a net be taken dow'n for use in the capture, but you know how those Tech teachers stand to protect those nets. Don’t you, Washington? Suddenly the little fellow departed as hastily as he had appeared and the game was resumed. Then W'hat do you think happened? That Ben Davis team was inspired beyond words. The suburban boys couldn't miss the hoop. The net took a jerk on everything they tossed. They played like demons. And when the final gun barked, Washington w 7 as trailing hopelessly, 30 to 17. Now give that story the bird. a a a Tech and Southport put on a good old-fashioned ‘'drammer’’ to wind up the evening, with the Cardinals finally triumphing over all 23 to 20. It was a see-saw struggle ail the way, though the East Siders appeared headed for victory midw'ay li the third quarter. The Southport cagers relied on distant heave-and-hope shots to keep in the running in the first half, but Coach Ray Scott evidently said a few things in the dressing rom at the intermission. In the last half Southport was a different tean\ and the whole Cardinal rally was hinged on neat passwork under and near the hoop. It was a tough ball game to lose. The Techmen gave a good account of themselves. There was no humbleness in their defeat. Manual’s undopable Redskins came through easily against Castleton, 22 to 16, and seemed in condition to give Shortridge a stormy session this afternoon. The Redskins trounced the Blue Devils as the season closed last week. Ben Davis and Southport, other semi-finalists, played three season engagements, Ben Davis winning two. a a a Looking over the battle fields around the state — The “newsiest” upset of the day was the tumble of the Washington Hatchets to Montgomery. Montgomery, listed in the drawings as Barr Township, trailed the favorites until the final quarter. Then the surprisers rang up seven points while holding the Hatchets scoreless, to win 20 to 18. Froebel of Gary, the squad that melted Michigan City’s perfect record, was sidertcaked by a city rival, Emerson. 23 to 20. Emerson drubbed Froebel in a regular season game, thus taking the upset sp:"? out of yesterday's affair. Backboard, you probably don’t re-

member, is picking Hammond to come through up there. Wilkinson kayoed Greenfield. 37 to 30, and Backboard is still stringing with Fortville over th'ar. Smaller favorites to join the bleacherites during the day were Wingate, Hartford City, Beaver Dame and Cloverdale, Wabash Valley champs. Wingate and Washington are two former state champions who will not repeat. The St. Paul threat in the Greensburg sectional was squelched by the host team. 21 to 15. North Vernon, Backboard's nomination, won hands down. a a a Backboard is fortunate that he was in good old Indianapolis yesterday instead of Lafayette. Had your correspondent traveled to the latter city, he never would have returned in a vertical position. Backboard's Jeff Bronchos had a terrific struggle with West Side, last year's sectional champs, before Dickinson (good ole’ Tom I dribbled the length of the floor in the last minute to give the Jeffians a 22 to 20 edge. Oh well—heh, heh—two points are as good as a million—or 82. Os course, of the Bronchos want to make a million today to ease Backboard’s mental strain, that’s alright, too. a a a Ben Davis theme song: “Let’s all sing like the birdies sing.” Grant and Hall in Contest for Crown Bn United Press HAMILTON.
