By Eddie Ash E. R. BRADLEY ‘MISSES THE BOAT’ m m m MORE TRIBE PLAYERS ENTER FOLD
11 LACK HELEN, Florida Derby winner, has won eight of her ten races and has proved herself a wonder horse. Her owner is E. R. Bradley, famous Kentucky horseman and the winner of thr Kentucky Derby four times. But he forgot to enter Black Helen in the 1935 classic at Churchill Downs. Louisville horse fans say Bradley “missed the boat when he failed to nominate the diminutive filly. Tne Flor.da IXrby distance is one mile and an eighth and the Kentucky Derby one mile and a Quarter. Thii may be the reason Bradley did not put Black Helen in the big event. Boxthom is Bradley's chief reliance for the May 4 feature. He also named B;g Oak. Kentucky horse observers say B.g Gawk is a second ’broker's Tip. Kentucky Derby victor in 1933. Bradley s Broker s Tip raced only once prior to his triumph in the rich race. The'owner of the Idle Hour stable aims to go after all derbies this year and expects Black Helen, Boxthorn and Bailadicr to score the

The 4000 came to see Edwards annihilated —and they weren't disappointed. The Colorado cruncher walloped Billy out of action in the first and third falls, the second going to the Texan and his famed "chiropractic" hold. It took Marshall 22 minutes to chill Billy in the first fall, and the Coloradoan was subjected to no little rough treatment before landinc on top. Twice he was tossed out cf the ring, and twice was forced to break away from Edwards’ forehead massage. Everett finally unleashed a scries of body crashes and slams to put Billy on ice. Battle on Floor The second chapter lasted only four minutes, but what it lacked in quantity it supplied in thrillsIrked by the ignominy of again flying through the ropes, Marshall dashed back into the ring and hoisted Edwards over the hemp. Billy didn't want to be lonesome, sc he took Everett with him, and the buys continued the battle on the hardwood floor. Referee Heze Clark joined them and the splinters flew. Finally lured back onto the can- - Edwards clamped a headlock on Marshall, knuckled down on his forehead, and before you could say “Lookie. Heze,’’ the irrepressible referee had stopped the action and raised Billy’s hand. Scores on Kick The final down also lasted four' minutes an-* was another bangbang affair. After hammering away at Everett with both fists, Edwards tossed him into the ropes and grabbed for another headlock. But he didn’t grab soon enough. Marshall lifted both feet into the air and plunked them into Billy's wh'skers. then fell on the Texan for the three-count. Edwards also lost a second decision Dissatisfied, he started after Marshall again. They tangled near the ropes. Suddenly a long and lanky city fireman reached into the ring, clamped a headlock on Billy, yanked him through the ropes, clamped on a half-Nelson and hurried him to the dressing room. Otto Comes Through For rough-and-tumble tuss’ing, the two prelims gave the top affair a run for first honors. Otto Xuss, the I. U. star, turned in his best performance to date in oui-wallop-ing Bob Stewart, 265-pound Tennesseean. Otto gave the big boy a classy going-over before flooring him with flying tackles ar.d slams after 17 minutes of action. In the semi-windup. Jimmy Cofficld. who conquered Kuss last week, sprang anew one on the fans. It was the octopus hold, evidently a none too p'.easanv grip for the guy on the bottom. The Kansas City star ued it to stop George Mansur, a tough newcomer, after 20 minutes of rough battling.

IT is hard to recall a year when a state high school finals basketball “anticipated game” has attracted as much talk as the expected tussle between Jeffersonville and Michigan City. According to all advance dope the Red Devils will clash at 9:30 next Saturday morning in the Butler University fieldhouse in one of the big feature games of the 1935 hardwood classic.

come to the fieldhouse a big favorite to win the state title. Up in the North the Red Devils of Michigan City sport almost as impressive a record. They w r on 21 consecutive games, losing their lone verdict to Froebel of Gary in a playoff for the title of the Northern Indiana High school Conference. What about those first round games? Well Michigan City is a top-heavy favorite to defeat Mentone at 11 a. m. Friday, and Jeffersonville is likewise a heavy favorite to down Montgomery at 2 p. m. Friday. Both teams are liable to be upset and if that happens it wull create just about as much excitement as the anticipated big struggle.

Trester Selects Officials for State Finals Tourney; Two Are New in Net Event Russell, Burt, Porter, Adams and Kauffman Draw Title Play Assignments; Numbers Will Be Announced Later: Other Gossip of Annual Classic. The final touch was put on the arrangements for the annual Indiana High School Athletic Association state basketball tournament final games in Butler University fleldhouse Friday and Saturday when A. L. Trester, commissioner of the association today announced the names of the five officials for the games. The five men who will toot the whistles and take an all-important part along with the players in staging the huge hardwood show are Vaughan Russell, Terre Haute; Carl Burt. North Manchester: W. Stanley Porter, Franklin; Glen Adams. Columbus; Nate Kauffman, Shelbyville.
It will be the first finals tourney for Adams and Kauffman. Numbers will be assigned by Commissioner Trester tomorrow night. According to the system used in the tournament each official referees in three games and umpires in the same number during the 15-game, two-day elimination series. . 14,883 To Attend Finals Mr. Trester announced yesterday I. H. S. A. A., announced yesterday that the final games this week would be played to a packed house. Bv that he meant that all of the 14.883 reserved seats in the gigantic Butler University fieldhouse have been sold to schools in the association. Under the ticket distribution plan of the I. H. S. A. A., principals of the 16 schools that take part in the final games as regional champions are allowed first chance to buy 4640 seats immediately surrounding the playing floor. These tickets are blocked off in lots of 290 for each school and the location each school receives is determined by draw. If any school does not claim its allotment of 290, then other regional teams are given first chance. Several days ago principals of the member schools totaling nearly 800, were given the privilege of ordering state tournament tickets to the extent of six per cent of the enrollment of pupils in the ninth, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. These seats are in the first balcony and the upper side tiers. This week principals of schools that won regional championships were given the opportunity of purchasing the few tickets not claimed under the 6 per cent privilege. The tickets all taken. I. H. S. A. A. Handles Details While Commissioner Trester is in active control of the entire state tournament under the direct supervision of the five members of the board of control, two Indianapolis school men—Fred R. Gorman athletic director of Technical, and K. V. Ammerman, principal at Broad Ripple—handle the majority of the details. Mr. Ammerman is in direct charge of the fieldhouse workmen, doorkeepers, ushers, maintenance men program printing and distribution, housing of the teams and transportation. Mr. Ammerman also seats the press, radio and other persons covering the event and sending it out to the thousands who can not attend. Mr. Gorman has dirept charge of the ticket distribution. So careful are the officials of the I. H. S. A. A. in regard to who receives the tickets that it demands of each principal a written list of the to whom tickets were sold. So far the radio rights for broadcasting of the tournament have been given free to the three major sta-
tions in the state and other stations have been requested to tie in with these stations, so limited is the space for accommoda.mg the press and radio services. Broadcasts Must Be Approved The I. H. S. A. A. reserves the right to approve the announcers of the games and, according to Mr. Trester, only men of sports experience ahd known ability to give honest reports of the games will be selected. Thousands of boxes of popcorn, and candy, ice cream, sandwiches, other food and soft drinks will be sold during the two-day tournament. One of the strict requirements of the concession salesmen is that they remain seated during actual progress of the games. One salesman is allowed in each section and each is assigned a permanent seat. A check is made from time to time to discern whether there are violations. While the parking ground adjacent to the fieldhouse takes care of hundreds of autos, it is insufficient and hundreds more are parked along streets leading to the fieldhouse. Police keep one lane open to the fieldhouse for taxicabs and busses and also set out certain streets near the fieldhouse as one-way streets during the tournament. A survey today showed that reservations have been made at many local hotels. Interests Other States The Indiana tournament Is a model event for other states. It has grown from a small event that all could be staged in one tow'n to an event that now involves 781 teams, the starting field this year. It now requires 64 sectional centers where the field is reduced to 64 teams and then 16 regional centers w'here four teams gather in each center to crown a regional champion. The present system of determining the state champion from among 16 finalist teams over a two-day period, with eight games the first day and seven the second, has been the subject of much controversy over the amount of physical strain suffered by the players. Physicians employed by the I. H. S. A. A. to watch the final games closely and examine the contestants thoroughly, both before and after the tournament, have failed to find any harmful results. After a game went seven overtime periods between Camden and Delphi in the current tourney, the I. H. S. A. A. issued a ruling limiting future overtime games to two periods of three minutes each. If more time than that is needed, the issue will be decided at the free throw line, with each player tossing one .shot. Tickets for the two-day tournament of 15 games sell for $2.50, not quite 17 cents per game.
