OFF THO BACKBOARD by Paul

rX>RTVILLE is the silent sister of the local regional family. The Ja hasketeers from Vemor. Township are quiet—the fans do little broad.-a.ring. and their fame hardly exceeds the boundaries of Hancock County.

If it were to come to pointing out I the real dark horse of the affair at Uhe T.-h gym. the nomination would go o Fortville. That is. the sur- , prise would be far more potent should the Deacons snatch the title from Anderson than should Plainfield or Ben Davis turn the trick. mam Fortville. like Ben Davis, 1s making its first splash into the regional tank. T..e Deacons finally broke through the Greenfield sectional by whipping the Maxwell Lions in ooc of the two overtime finals in the state. Fortville has a whiz of a center named Downing. So has North Vernon. but don't get them confused. With Maxwell's battling Lions leading. 21 to 19, in the last minute of plav at Greenfield Saturday, Fortwile’s Downing tossed a field goal that knotted the tally; then caged j the fielder that won a regional bracket in the overtime. mam REGIONAL prognosticators are . offered no chance to compare Fortville #ith Anderson, Plainfield or Ben Davis on seasonal meetings —the Deacons’ path never crossed 'hat of the other three during the past campaign. There is the possibility that they may spring some- ' thing entirely unlooked for by the others. mam Asa matter of fact. Ben Davis and Plainfield are the only members who have made a seasonal acquaintance. a a a COACH LLOYD O. BROWN has held forth at Fortville for sev- ; oral years. His present varsity consists of Durack and Hudson, forwards; Downing, center, and Claudcil and Sewall, guards. Th" Brownmen tackle Anderson at 3 tomorrow afternoon. a a a Abie Masters, who inspires those Bronchos, says: “Earl Park comes first. If we get by that one, wv don't care who is next in line. If we are in top form, and I feel sure we will be. we’ll beat any of them.” That’s the wav to sav it, Abie. DON’T OVERLOOK EARL PARK. Ther**’s many a slip between the lip and the Hot Dog. a a a You are in a tough regional, Jeffmen. You know that. But Abie has worded it just right—Y'ou can "beat any of them." ana The Lafayette Journal and Courier reports that the Jeffersonians are in top physical shape and rarin’ to go. C’mon Dickinson, Newton. Bryant. Crowe. Young. Martin. Vyverberg, Weedon. O’Haver and Bordenet —trample ’em! a a a 'Tis a ttrantr world.

Vincennes. a a a DEAR OLD PAL—In your Tuesday column you want to know j what Plainfield thinks of Ben Davis, i Well sir, we think the same of them that we do of any other school 1 we meet from now on—they must j be tough or they wouldn't still be going. We know we beat them before, but that doesn’t count. As for any overconfidence on our team's part. I don't believe such a thing is possible after our boys saw* Pittsboro’s situation last Saturday night. I understand they even had their regional; suits bought. So, from Plainfield, we say—ls | we can’t be the best we can be the fighting-est. As for this nonsense about three I games in one day—most of the | plavvrs in the smaller country towns put in harder work than that every day and figure it’s part of life. It’s no tougher on them than routine J work after they are out of school. Yours. YOU KNOW ME.

LEATHER LINGERS TO MEET Dear Backboard—Tracing back the anerttrv of the Ben Davis Giant*, we find them to be all local boys—no imported good* on hand. Tell Eddie Ash that he heard no noise from Ben Davi* before the time started berause we were all "yelled out” from the Southport strife and were just recuperating for the BIG event. The Leather Lunr Club held a session behind the officials’ bench in the sectionals. and the meeting of the august body will be railed together again Saturday. The Ben Davis team and fans are still commenting on the good sportsmanship of other teams in the tourney—they even helped us celebrate! See vou at the regional*. BEN DAMS RED. a a a WEST DID ITS PART Dear Mr. Boxell —It’s too bad Washington and Greenfield couldn’t arrange to be in the Indianpolis regional so we could have an “All National Road ’ tourney. Ben Davis and Plainfield came through on the west end of Road 40. The Quakers of Plainfield have power—everlasting power—and my crystal ball—or was it the nine ball? —tells me that Bill Bugg and the boys will be on hand for the fieldhouse roll call. Yours. CLARENCE WORRELL.

Otto Kuss Is Placed on All-Star Wrestling Bill I. U. Student to Tackle Western Heavy Here Tuesday; Edwards-Marshall Main Go Stirs Interest. Otto Kuss, 220, the popular Indiana University student, who lost his first professional mat match here last Tuesday, is far from discouraged and hopes to begin anew- next Tuesday night at the where he will be seen in the opsning tussle at 8:30 on the Hercules A. C. all-heavy-

weight wrestling card. Matchmaker Lloyd Carter has signed Bob Stewart, an aggressive Westerner, to oppose Kuss. Otto has become a great favorite at the Armory and the fans are doubly interested in the young collegian because he does not sidestep any tough matches. He has won five bouts, engaged in one draw and dropped one tussle here. Jim Coffield the clever Kansan who upset Kuss here last Tuesday, will return for action in the semiwindup. He has been matched with George Mansur, an experienced matman. Carter reports that sharp interest is being displayed by fans in the main go battle which promises to attract one of the largest crowds of the season. Billy Edwards, 215, the “chiropractic” hold expert from Dallas, and Everett Marshall, 215, the high-powered Colorado mat ace, will supply the action in the feature. In his four matches here, Edwards flattened Dick Raines, Sol Slagel, Tom Marvin and Paul Harper. All were victims of the “chiropractic.” Marshall drew with Jim Londos in Chicago, Fob. 28, the bout going 90 minutes without a fall.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Dear Backboard—lt was said last year Ben Davis suffered from stage fright in the sectionals. The only ailment thev had this year was basketitis—which results in plenty of points. Let’s all sing like the birdies sing! BIRDIES OF BEN DAVIS. 0 0 0 FRIENDLY ENEMIES Dear Backboard Plainfield is headed for the fieldhouse this time. Our most worthy opponent.

There will b* a lot of concientlous handclasping after that game Saturday. 0 0 0 The strong Howe School quintet of Howe is the only Indiana entry in the annual Mid-West Prep School Conference tournament to be held at the Morgan Park Military Academy in Chicago this week-end.

Finding Fifth Top Hurler Is Cub Problem Chuck Klein's Leg Appears to Have Mended; Grimm in Condition. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent AVALON, Santa Catalina Island, Cal., March B—The three big prob- ' lems of the Chicago Cubs are: 1. Find another starting pitcher. 2. Can Chuck Klein and Freddy ! Lindstrom stage comebacks? 3. Will Manager Charlie Grimm's physical condition permit him to stand up under the season's grind at 1 first base? The Cubs have an excellent quartet of starting pitchers in Lon Warneke, Bill Lee, Tex Carleton and Larry FTcnch, the latter two ob- ; tained in winter deals. If the Cubs | can find a fifth starter they will have a pitching staff to equal any ! in the league. Cubs’ Scout in Florida If none of the recruits come I through, Manager Grimm is going to renew negotiations with other major league clubs for an experienced pitcher. He already has Clarence (Pants) Rowland, Cubs’ scout, in Florida looking over the field in case it becomes necessary to make a quick deal. Klein, who was a big flop last ypar with the Cubs, after leading the National League in batting in 1933, appears to be in good physical condition and is working as hard as any player in camp. The leg which kept him out of nearly 40 games last year apparently has mended. Lindstrom to Day Third Lindstrom, after two disappointing seasons in the outfield with Pittsburgh, is returning to his first love, third base. Lindy played in only 79 games last year, being laid up with a broken finger. His finger has healed and he came to camp in fine physical shape. Trainer Andrew Hemingway Lot,j shaw- reports that Manager Grimm | is in the best physical condition in years. During the winter Grimm refrained from hunting and fishing and exposing himself to the cold, wet air which caused him to be j bothered with his joints.

The Maroons and Canadiens played their last intracity game at Montreal and wound up in a 2-2 overtime deadlock.
