By Eddie Ash RALLYING REDSKINS REACH TOP mm* jsTATE PROUD OF ANDERSON FIVE

Hoosier cajre classic has passed into history, except at Anderson, of course, where the celebrating will continue this week in honor of the new champions, Archie Chadd’s Indians. The Redskins were on the short end of the price against Jeffersonville at Butler fieldhouse Saturday night, but they went on the war path at the outset of the struggle and never were headed. Usually a slow* starter, the Redskins reversed their system and put the fine Jeff team in the hole early in the fracas. Jeff followers were heartbroken, but it wasn’t their night. It was Anderson's and the Indians were entitled to the victory on form. Jeff got the tap-off most of the way, but the Anderson defense offset this advantage and the Indians stayed out in front with points to spare and threw the whole burden on the downstaters. It was a snappy contest. They were two great teams and the entire state is proud Coach A-chle Chadd moves up Into the king row. There is a first time for everything, but no undefeated five ever has won the state laurel*. That was another mental hazard for the Red Devils. They had won 31 consecutive tilts only to have the angle setback wipe out their title aspirations. It was a grand show from the beginning and all ate records were smashed m spite of the fact no Indianapolis team participated in the finals. However. Anderson, the new king, reached the finals by beating Fortville and Ben Davis in the Indianapolis regional.

Picked by Handicappers THE professional handicappers pegged the two finalists last Monday. Anderson and Jeffersonville were posted at the shortest price and at the same price. Shelbyville was the big surprise to the bookies and to most basketball followers. Asa matter of fact, Anderson overlooked scouting Shelby ville and had to go overtime to pull that one out of the fire. The Indians, like the hardwood observers, expected to see Log ans port in the semi-finals. Shelbyville was listed as a 6 to 1 shot early last week. Richmond, another semi-finalist, was placed at 5 to 1. Anderson and Jeffersonville noth were quoted at 7 to 5. Dick Miller of The Times staff was a workhorse at the big fieldhouse event. He phoned in every play in every day ume and between games and halves was on the air with a batch of statistics. He also kept close tab on the night struggles and put all of the information and details on the air over WFBM The neares this column conductor came to “picking the champion” was given in a confidential tip to fellow office slaves that the last team defeated would be the runnerup and that its opponent would be the winner.

ANDERSON GAINS STATE BASKET THRONE'

One of Best Cage Tourneys in History of Event Sees Indians Scalp Jeff Quintet Archie Chadd’s Pastimers Leap Away to Flying Start and Annex Crown, 23-17; Fieldhouse Packed for Title Game; Lyboult Wins Gimbel Medal. BY DICK MILLER Anderson realized a 25-year ambition Saturday night when its high school basketball team captured the 1935 Indiana High School Athletic Association state championship with a 23-17 victory over Jeffersonville’s powerful five in the Butler University fieldhouse. As usual a capacity crowd of more than 15.000 looked on. It was the first defeat of the season for the Jeff Red Devils, who, through regular season play, sectional, regional and three games of the final tournament in the fieldhouse, had boosted its victory string to 31 consecutive battles.

The ball game belonged to Anderson all the way. The new champions never trailed during the struggle. Coach Archie Chadd’s Indians were ouc in front as many as 10 points at stages and never less than six points, a lead which they piled up in the opening quarter. That Afternoon Thriller Things began going Anderson’s way in the afternoon semi-final tilt. After trailing a Shelbyville team that supplied most of the thrills and upsets in the two-day elimination classic, for most of the first half, the Indians spurted to gain an 18-17 lead at the threequarter post. They increased it as the last period opened, but Shelbyville, paced by two great oerformers. Steve Gutting and Ed Pago, forged out in front three points and 't took a last minute free throw and a last second field goal by Dick Baker that passed through the hoop as the gun sounded to tie up the ball game at 26-all in regulation time. In the three-minute overtime. Ruh tossed two free throws, but Ed Page matched them with a field goal and again Dick Baker slipped under the hoop unnoticed to take a pass and toss a field goal just as the gun cracked, and Anderson went into the finals. Great Fi. it by Richmond Jeffersonville players found themselves against tough competition in Morton of Richmond, but managed to forge out in front in the last half and stave off a late game rally by the Morton Red Devils, and win 33-28. And there were not a few who felt after watching the Anderson Indians expend everything they had to down Shelbyville that Jeffersonville would win easily at night, and become the first undefeated team ever to go through. About 30 minutes before game time at night rain began falling in torrents and somebody said it was a good night for ducks. Well, that suited Anderson, and with the Indians’ cluck mascot. Myrtle, on hand to give them inspiration and with thought that they had been nosed out in a regular season game by Jeffersonville by the narrow margin of two points, 32-30, it was time for revenge. Some of the gray haired supporters of the Indian team recalled how Anderson took part in the first invitational tournament at Bloomington in 1911 and since that time they had been runners-up for the title three times, 1914, 1918, and again in 1921, and it was high time to break the jinx. Good Last Year Last year, which was Archie Chadd's first year as coach at Anderson. saw' the Indians drop a close 19-18 decision to Tech of Indianapolis in the regional and Tech went on through to lose to Logansport in the final game in the fieldhouse. This year the Indians come from behind to win their sectional and regional and they had staged a great rally to avoid defeat by Shelbyville. It w'as time to go out there and get going at the outset and that is exactly what they did Saturday night. Logansport had turned the trick that way last year and when Bob Clutch, the lanky Anderson center, sent one into the net that hangs from the hoop which never touched any part of the iron circle, those fighting Indians became unbeatable. Baker converted a foul line chance into a point when Andres hacked him and Clutch looped in another to give the new’ champions a 5-0 lead. Morgan fouled Rauth and he converted to break Jeffersonville into the scoring and the followers of the Crimson Tide had hopes w’ n Thompson connected on that double pass pivot play. Fast Pace Set • But Ai.lerson had the punch arid Baker reversed around Andres and Jackson dribbled under for a short two-pointer that took the breath away from the Jeff five and the downstaters called for rest time. Play resumed and Jackson pivoted around Thompson for a field goal and Anderson's defense had Jeff stopped as the quarter ended. The count was Anderson, 11; Jeffersonville. 3. Andres failed to connect on two free throws when Morgan fouled him. but Bill Johnson, the back bone of the Jeffersonville offense in the tournament and the high individual scorer of the two-dav event with 39 points, fired a beautiful onehanded push shot into the basket, but his efforts went for naught as Jackson duplicated the feat. Baker hit for two points from mid-floor but missed two free throws when fouled by Johnson and the half ended shortly after Rauth went down the floor at break-neck speed Lineup of Champs Champion Runnrr-np 1911 — Crawfordsvilla ....

to connect after intercepting an Anderson pass under their basket. The rest time score was Anderson, 15; Jeffersonville, 7. Ruh Stars Over Floor Jeff still had hopes as Rauth scored again as the second half opened, but Clemons Ruh, who piayed a great floor game in the chtmpionship tilt, scored two free throws when Groth fouled him and Jackson took a pretty pass from Moigan to score a field goal and hold on to the eight-point lead at the three-quarter mark, 19-11. Jonnson scored for Jeff just before the gun report. When Clutch scored on a reverse pivot it was more or less conceded that Anderson w’as on its way to the first I. H. S. A. A. title in 25 years, and after Rauth scored on a long shot the Indians began to protect that six-point lead, the score being 21-15. They passed the ball among themselves as the scoreboard showed up with four minutes, three and then two. Jeff tried hard to intercept a pass, left Clutch open and he dashed under the hoop, took a pa ;s and connected. With less than a minute to go, Johnson, still spurring a fighting Jeffersonville team on. looped in a long field goal, but the gun ended play shortly after the next tossup at center. The final score w'as Anderson, 23; Jeffersonville, 17. Fred R. Gorman, Technical athletics director and president of the I. H. S. A. A. board of control, presented Captain Bob Clutch with the big team trophy shield bearing the inscription “State Champion 1935.” Smaller and similar shields went to each individual. Gimbel Prize to Lyboult He presented the Gimbel medal to James (Sammy) Lyboult, forward and guard on the Morton of Richmond team, indicating that he had been chosen by the committee of judges as the player who in their opinion had shown the best sportsmanship and mental attitude during the tourney games. He w'on the award from a field of close competitors. Lyboult is a senior and is the son of the athletics director of Richmond public schools. He is an A student in school, and the only regular from last year on the Richmond team that reached the semi-finals Saturday. He scored 192 points during the season and 31 points during the three games he took part in in the final tournament. He is shortstop and pitcher on the baseball team. He is the fastest man on the basketball team, and made 70 per cent of his foul line shots during the season. Lyboult is a lightweight, weighing 135, and is five feet 10 inches tall. First Title for Chadd The feat of supplying Anderson with its first championship basketball team in 25 years was accomplished by Archie Chadd, who is coaching at the school for the second year. Chadd, a product of Bainbridge High School, w'as a star in prep school and during his four years at Butler University, where he played under Tony Hinkle. He graduated in 1928 and served the next year as assistant coach. Archie went to Canton, 111., as head coach for four years. Two of his teams reached the Illinois state finals and each time lost in overtime games so this is Archie's first state championship team since he became coach. Anderson High School athletics came under I. H. S. A. A. probe, the school was suspended from the association and the” entire school system was given an overhauling two years ago Chadd came in on the “new deal,” and last year lost a 19-18 regional verdict to Tech of Indianapolis auer wringing the sectional. This year Chadd again captured sectional and regional championships and then the state meet, bringing his team along gradually and untouted. TITLE GAME IN FIGURES Anderson <23. Jeffersonville (171.

Values Trophies at SIO,OOO Bill Tilden’s collection of tennis trophies is insured for SIO,OOO. The most attractive one is the three-yjar Xational Lawn Tennis Championship cup. However, one of Tilden’s proudest possessions is a tray, donated by Philadelphia clubs in 1921.

The boys appear to be pleased about something. And it’s probable that those trophies they are holding have much to do with it. For the honor which the trophies symbolize—the high school basketball championship of Indiana —is the goal for which Coach Archie Chadd and his Anderson Indians have been striving for weeks.

Jones Happy on Birthday, Has Putting Stroke Back By United Press TLA NT A. Ga.. March 18—Bobby Jones celebrated his thirty-third birthday yesterday, happy at signs of a return of the keen putting touch that made him the champion of golf champions five years ago. Bobby spent the week-end with his family at Augusta, where the masters’ open tournament April 4 to 7 once again will throw him into competition with some of the best shotmakers. It was a happy birthday for Jones, for during his week-end play over the tricky Augusta national course some of his putts have been falling in a manner reminiscent of the perfect shots that led him to his famous 1930 “grand slam.” He scored a 70 over the par 72 course Friday.
