The decision will be made at a meeting of the group's new board of governors here Jan. 10. Lack of support of the I. C. A. A. A.

HE Arlington “B” team played Westland’s “B” squad recently. Arlington won by a single point. For the sake of the record, let us mention that the gods were on the side of Arlington. For, of the many shots taken by Arlington's players, one was a Roy Reigels number. The young man in question fired at Westland's basket. It hit the hoop,
rolled around the edge, and fell—out. If it had gone in, you'd have heard of it before this.

ORTH CENTRAL CONFERENCE dope experts who didn't find their champion’s name wrapped up among Christmas packages today may be able to find it New Years. This possibility will be offered them when the annual Tournament of Champions is played at Anderson. Competing teams other than the host Indians will be Muncie, Newcastle and Logansport. The Logansport Berries are busy hanging up what may prove to be one of their best records. To date they boast eight victories against one defeat. The defeat was at the hands of Frankfort, and by a two-point margin. Pick your own favorite.

N the town of Bargersville, a few miles northwest of Franklin, | Coach C. J. Sloop has a shipshape crew. Eighty-five pupils attend Union High School there, and at least six of them are learning their basketball lessons well. Johnson County folk are appreciative of this fact. Until a few nights ago. the Union team had won eight consecutive games, and its rival. Center Grove, held an unimpressive record of six victories and four defeats. A meeting of the two teams doesn’t sound particularly exciting, does it? But when they plaed their game in the little Center Grove gym a crowd was on hand. The doors opened at 6 p. m. At 6:30 the bleachers were filled. Another half hour found the stage jammed with spectators. Benches from the dressing rooms and chairs from the principal's office were brought in. There was no SRO sign to hang out, but even that wouldn't have stopped them. n n ” = ” n
TILL more noteworthy was the thrill these 1500 fans received for S their money--the game was the best many had ever seen. When it was over, after two overtime periods, the Union High team had won its ninth straight, 21 to 20. Hero of the night was Union's Kenny Shaffer, who scored one field goal. His lone basket tied the game at 18-all in the last 10 seconds of the fourth quarter. ” ” ” ” » n

Tilts to Draw ~ Huge Crowds
‘Rose Bowl and Five Others.
Are Sell-Outs for New Year's.
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Dec. 25.—What's all this howl about lagging interest in post-season football games?
According to a survey reported on yesterday this year’s eight bowl tilts will draw more than at any time in the last several seasons. The eight games, including the East-West charity battle at San Francisco, will attract more than 280,000 peopie.
The Rose Bowl game remains the most popular of the post-season battles despite the increasing popularity of New Year's Day football carnivals. With all tickets sold a capacity crowd of 85.500 will see the game at Pasadena between Pitts burgh and Washington. Five other bowl games promise to be sell-outs, with only the FEastWest affair at San Francisco and the Bacardi Bowl game at Havana failing to play to packed stadiums, Even though the East-West game won't fill Kezar stadium, it will attract a throng of 50,000, the second largest crowd New Year's Day.
Natives to Attend
The Bacardi game at Havana between Auburn and Villanova probably will attract a crowd of about 25,000. Temporary seats increasing the capacity to 32,000 have been built. The promoter expects 14,000 natives, 6500 tourists and 2500 from the American colony to attend. The Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans and the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas will vie for the day’s third largest throng. The Sugar Bowl affair between Louisiana State and Santa Clara will attract a capacity crowd of 41,000. At Dallas approximately 25,000 seats have been sold for the Cotton Bowl battle between Marquette and Texas Christians. The Dallas stadium seats 46,700.
More Seats Added
The demand for tickets to ‘the Orange Bowl game at Miami between Mississippi State and Duquesne has caused the promoters to increase the normal seating capacity of 15,000 to 17,000. In addition to the Cotton Bowl game at Dallas, Texas, will put on the Sun Bowl game at El Paso for the second year. A sell-out crowd of 12,000 is expected to see the battle between Hardin-Simmons of Abilene and Texas School of Mines, El Paso. The other post-season game New Year's Day will be at Santa Barbara, Cal, between Santa Barbara State and New Mexico State. Even this clash of minor teams will draw a capacity crowd of 4000.

‘Great Britain's Spurt Gives
1936 Tournament Review International Aspect.
BY ART KRENZ
NEW YORK, Dec. 25 —(NEA)-—-Because Great Britain came back to keep all of its major championships at home and to win the United States women's title as well, the golf year of 1936 first must be reviewed from an international angle. Alf Padgham succeeded his coune tryman, Alf Perry, in taking the British open, and Hector Thomson ascended the British amateur throne occupied by William Lawson Little of San Francisco in 1934 and 1935. After annexing the British women's amateur, Pam Barton visited this country long enough to make it a little slam by capluring the American title, * America’s Curtis Cup team the British fair ones, 3':-3':, Gleneagles.
Little Turns Pro
Little, the first player in history to acquire both the British and American amateurs two vears hand running, a trick demanding an amazing string of 18-hole match play victories, turned professional. He finished tenth in the Masters’ tournament at Augusta. Little failed to qualify for the United States Open, but copped the Canadian. After threatening for several years, Johnny Fischer of Cincinnati finally broke through to succeed Little as the United States amateur King. Ralph Guldahl finished as the lowest-stroking American professional with an average of 71.63 for 65 rounds. Gudahl won the West« ern, Augusta, Miami Biltmore and a couple more opens.
