B°. Y ; how we can pick 'em. Ride with the winner is the only life. We went out to Tech jrym Saturday night and luck was on our side. In looking around for an open space to sit down in the well-filled hall we spied a s|>ot in the Ren Davis rooting section and nudged in. The basketball teams had not appeared for the warm-up liefore the BIG game, but the Shortridge rooting section, opposite, already was shouting and screaming. The Ren Davis rooters were quiet. Ar. olfl-i m*r said. Our section doesn't seem to be making any noise.” H> app**ar*t. downcast. And so we answered, ‘•'Wait till pur boys come out on the floor. There 11 be plenty of racket.” That reply evidently was dictated by Lady Luck. It made us solid with the surrounding Ben Davis adherents, and their friendliness and hospitality to a stranger in cramped quarters eased us right on to the Ben Davis bandwagon—the ultimate winner. Boy, that s picking em. Ben Davis, 24; Shortridge, 22.

a a a State Tour mu Rumors 'T'HE state legislators who are showing concern for the physical welfare of the basketball lads are barking up the wrong tree What about some concern for the health of the rooters? The basketball boys are in far better shape than the bleach*rites after a close game. The nerve strain, heart strain and vocal strain leaves the frantic supporters limp and goggle-eyed. This brings up the latest output of the rumor factory. It is said if tne state legislators go through with their plan to "enact a law” to prohibit three games in one day that the Indiana High School Athletic Association will give serious thought to abandoning the popular tournament. . is reported that many high school principals oppose a three-day state finals and that other principal oppose adding another week to the eliminations. The "class” system is followed in some states, with schools grouped m classes. A, B, and C, based on enrollment, but this arrangement lacks the appeal and popularity of the current Hoosier set-up m 9 u Some Possibilities small schools of Indiana think they are strong enough on the hard,.ood to mingle with the big schools in a state-wide affair. In tlie event that the Indiana High School Athletic Association ever abandons t.. *ate-wide tourney it's a good guess that the big schools will get tnee'her and organize their own championship event, leaving the little fellows crowded out of the picture and subtracting the "dark horse” feature from Hoosier basketball. a a a Indians Ruu Rob Walsh INDIANAPOLIS Notre Dame boosters are sure to show special interest m Red Killefer's ball club this year.

German Favored to Defeat Hamas Schmeling Is Impressive in Workouts. By I nit> 4 Press HAMBURG. Germany, March 4. Max Schmeling today was established a top-heavy favorite to beat Steve Hamas in then 12-round bout next Sunday. The German former champion has been increasingly impressive in workouts, showing plenty of :>peed ard all his old-time power with short, sharp punches which have beaten down his sparring partners. Hamas has been slow, sluggish and so far from top form that he becomes winded in a few rounds. A1 Thoma. his trainer, however, said that Hamas was coming along slowly and would be at his peak for the battle. He is confident Hamas will repeat the one-sided beating he gave Schmeling a year ago.

They Are District Champs for the First Time

BEN DAVIS HIGH SCHOOL NETTERS Front Row deft to right)—Johnson, Finelium. Hiatt. Bohannon anti Frie.je. Back Row—Roberts. Coach George Gerichs, Price, Sypers, student scorer; Dowden, Curtis, student manager; Schoettlin, Assistan t Coach Maurice Wooden and Keck. Hail, the victors! For the first time in the history of the Marion County sectionals of the state high school basketball tourney, the Ben Davis Giants stormed through a field of strong teams to capture the crown last week-end. The Giants, coached by G. W. (Pop) Gerichs and Maurice <Cnt Wooden, humbled Oaklandon, Washington, Southport and Shortridge to gain the coveted title, and will tangle with Plainfield in the opening regional game at the Tech gym next Saturday at 2 p. m.

OFF Hr * RAIMAMI l by paul BOXBLL mrmuniwmmmammm

IT S all over but the pouting at a dozen or so schools this morning where teams were expected to breeze through the sectional trials, but walked into haymakers from dark horses instead. Not the least deserving of the upsetters is Ben Davis, Marion County’s own dark horse product. The Giants landed in the difficult bracket in the draw, but fought undaunted right through Washington, city champions; Southport and the strong Shortridge quintet.

There are many who, after seeing the Giants in action against the city champions, considered them favorites rather than dark horses. No odds were given on that final game, and there were plenty of takers for Shortridge I. O. U. offers. tt tt tt THE Ben Davis squad, big, powerful, alert played headsup ball throughout the tourney. The final game Saturday night was a masterpiece of clover basketball. with both Shortridge and the winners looking the part of champions. The Blue Devils missed a couple of heart-breakers in the last few minutes that, if made, might have —but those “ifs” won't win the ball games, as many favorites discovered—Hiatt's onehanders are stronger than all the conditional words in your vestpocket dictionary. a tt a Saturday night’s inpromptu celebration was carried on in organized style at Ben Davis this morning. AH grade school and high school students assembled in the school atiditnrium. where jubilant speeches were delivered by the principal, coaches, student staffinen, players, faculty and anybody else who wanted to give three whoops. • Meanwhile the townsfolk were parading lustily around the downtown streets, with cars and store windows decorated fit to slay—purplo and white, of course, being the outstanding colors. The whole thing wound up with a huge theater party at the Ben Davis Theater. “While Thousands Cheer." “Forsaking All Others,” “Pursuit of Happiness.” or “Happiness Ahead" would have bevn appropriate pictures, but the manager probably showed "They Never Come Rack" or “Death in the Afternoon.” tt a a Now let's hear from you folks out at B<=n Davis. Let's hear some state championship predictions from you. It's easy to talk your team into a championship. Everybody else does. What do you say, B.’n Davis Red? How about digging up a little dope on the ancestral lineage of all your players for Backboard? 11l bet Bohannon's folks came over on the Mayflower. He’s eot that Puritanical carriage when he goes under the basket. a tt a PLAINFIELD, the first regional foe for Ben Davis, has progressed. so far. just as YOU KNOW ME and other Plainfielders had predicted to Backboard. There was something disquieting in the way those Buggmen took three sockos on the chin from Pittsboro without a ruffled expression during the season, and ol* Backboard suspirioned there was something in the air besides smog. Consequently, he tagged Plainfield to upset the Burros at Danville. But he. like every one else, was taken aback when the Quakers did it by a 3S-to-12 decision! Wow! Yep. 36 to 12 is right—tripled the score see DELPHI bowed out to Camden in one of the longest games in the colorful history of Ihsaa basketball. Seven i7) overtimes

did they go before Camden emerged on top, 22 to 19! That’s 21 minutes, which is nearly threequarters of a game! That, in addition to the regular 32 minutes of battle. Wonder if the legislators will spend a little time rigging up a bill to stop a game after the 10th overtime? In regular season play the tilt would have been called a draw at the end of the third extra heat. tt tt a NEXT in line for heavy eye-brow-raising w&s Tipton's decisive victory over Maurice Kennedy’s fine Noblesville team. Tipton's Blue Devils had been storing up for that ONE engagement all season, and when the time came they let loose with a fury. Noblesville’s sparkling season record should be consolation aplenty. tt tt a EVERY team in the powerful North Central Conference Big Ten came through . . . including the leaders thank you. . . . Only 30 host teams of the 64 had things their own way at home. . . . 717 teams were eliminated in approximately 17 hours. . . . Washington’s Hatchets losing their second encounter of the tourney Friday, launched a parade of upsets that wound up in a stampede Saturday night. . . Crawfordsville, Greencastle and Attica, all of which were supposed to clash in the Greencastle regional, dropped out of the running before the final games were reached Saturday night. . . . The Ben Davis yell leader climbed right up atop a corner drug store to lead the noise-makers in Ben Davis Saturday night. . . . Wonder if they gave a “Yea! Rah! Sparrow! Some boy ”? an tt UPSET LANE IS CROWDED Mitchell snapped out of a late season slump to knock off Bedford in the final tussle, 23 to 21. Berne likewise staged a comeback to outclass BlufTton in the windup tiff. 30 to 28. New Albany led most of the way before being crowded out by Jeffersonville's universal favorites. The Bulldogs missed five free throw chances in the last few minutes of play. Ami do you choose to consider Martinsville's victory over Bloomington tnd Shelby ville’s triumph over Columbus as upsets? Roanoke one-pointed Huntington in a final surprises The Mentone quintet is so strong that its victory, 32 to 20. over Warsaw hardly can be classed as an upset. Hammond, Backboard’s choice at Gary, survived the fiela in fine style, trouncing Emerson in the final go. 42 to 23. Jeff of Lafayette is still in the -tinning. So is Frankfort. And ditto for Lebanon.

Giants of Suburban School Land on Top by Capturing Wild Tilt From Shortridge Final Game at Tech Gym Packed With Thrills as Score Is Tied Three Times Before 24-22 Decision Is Reached: 5000 Watch Struggle. BY DICK MILLER The Ben Davis Giants battled to their first Indianapolis state high school sectional basketball tournament title in the history of 24 I. H. S. ! A. A. state championships when they scored a well-earned 24-22 victory over Shortridge of Indianapolis Saturday night in Tech gym. A capacity crowd of 5000 looked on. The surburban team, “gymless,” but not without ability, determination and fight, staved off a late game rally by the Capital City lads who tied the score at 17. 19 and 22 all only to have a last minute basket by Hiatt turn the tide in favor of the Giants.

Ben Davis also faced another great test in the semi-finals Saturday afternoon, coming from behind to down Southport. 23-20, for the right to play Shortridge in the finals. The Giants were behind. 10-7, at the half and 14-13 at the three-quarter post, but had the ability to go out in front in the final stanza and hold the lead. Shortridge earned its way to the finals with a 27-16 win over Manual, a city rival of long standing. The Blue Devils were ahead of the Redskins. 4-0. at the quarter, 11-5. at the half, and they outscored Manual. 16-11. in the final half to be superior throughout. Shortridge Leads at Start The final tilt Saturday night was packed with thrills with Shortridge stepping out to an early 6-1 lead. Stevenson scored twice from the field and McDaniel once, while Ben Davis’ lone tally was a free throw by Bohannon. Just before the period ended Price connected from the field and Finchum connected on a free toss to close the gap, 6-4. In the second quarter Hiatt scored a field goal and a free toss and Finchum and Johnson field goals to make the count 11-6 in lavor of Ben Davis. Pack and Brown then connected on free tosses for the Blue Devils, and Price two free throw’s and Bohannon a field goal to give the Giants a 15-8 margin, but just as the gun cracked for the rest period Pack connected under the hoop to make it 15-10. Third Quarter, 19-All The North Siders put on a swell uphill battle in the third quarter with Stevenson, Kitzmiller and McDaniel sinking free throws and Brown and Kitzmiller field goals to tie the count at 17-all. Hiatt’s field marker was Ben Davis’ only score. Brown then looped one in to make it 19-17, Shortridge, but Johnson arched a high one and the third quarter ended 19-all. Again Shortridge went out in front when Stevenson and McDaniel scored free throws, but Johnson tied the count with a short field goal. Pack made it 22 to 21 with a free throw' only to have Price equal his effort from the foul line and make it 22-all with a minute to go. Hiatt’s Victory Dribble Taking the ball off the Shortridge backboard, Hiatt dribbled the length of the floor and scored a basket. From then on Ben Davis, with superior height w r as able to hold the ball and the priceless twopoint margin until the gun sounded. That w T as a signal for celebration, first in the gym where the Ben Davis fans cut the nets from the baskets. Then through town and out W. Washington-st to home, where a huge bonfire was staged. Then on to Plainfield where they helped the Danville sectional winners and the team that will be their first opponents in the regional games next Saturday afternoon celebrate a 34-12 victory scored over a heretofore undefeated Pittsboro team that had won 23 consecutive games this season. Coach's Dream Realized If you don’t happen to know where Ben Davis is located, it is six miles west of the city out Washing-ton-st. You turn left off Washing-ton-st to go to the Municipal Airport and you turn right to reach the high school and grade school, located a block north of Washingtonst. The school is crowded to the j point where 650 pupils are divided, j half going to morning session and the other half to afternoon sessions. There was a time when the small j gym in the basement served the j purposes, but when classroom de- ! mands became acute, Principal Charles Vance decided the basketball boys would have to travel four miles to Indianapolis for practice j and home games.
