Indiana high school basketball teams play for keeps, which is one reason why so many college stars are developed in the Hoosier State. Joe Patanelli, brother of Matt, former Michigan football star, is caught
in an unperpendicular position in
a scrap for the ball. His team,
Elkhart, won from La Porte, 31-26, for its seventh straight when this picture of a crack-up under the basket was taken.

ASKETBALL can very easily take its place alongside football and hockey as one of the roughest, toughest
sports on the books. .
. . Boxers, trackmen and crew ath-
letes might differ, but the hoop game probably is a greater drain on the wind than anything else in the line of major
athletics. .
. . Players are constantly on the move, and now
that the center jump has been eliminated except at the start of the halves the hardwood game becomes highly
reminiscent of a shuttle race.
Then, too, there is the matter of body contact. ... A football player, naturally, takes more and harder knocks, but at least he is padded well in vital spots. . . . Hardwood players have virtually no protection and the nonstop game
is loaded with dynamite.
= 8 2
VEN before the center jump was eliminated, body contact often was vicious when opposing forwards and
guards smashed in for the tip-off. . ..
And so rough is the
sport that many track coaches forbid their stars to play. . .. They claim the constant, sudden starting and stopping is the easiest way to ruin a trackman’s leg muscles, or give
him a trick knee.
The degree of intensity in the game varies in different sections and in the Midwest it borders on a battle royal.
Many physicians are claiming that basketball, as played
now, is so fast and strenuous that athletes will feel it later on. . . . But the players say once they get themselves adjusted to the new style of action it won't be any tougher
on them than before.
”
OST hardwood fans seem to believe that the new rule, eliminating the center jump, makes officiating more difficult, but Frank
Lane, veteran Cincinnati official, differs. . .
run to the center of the court for
around in the rush for the ball,” he explains.
. “We no longer have to toss-ups, and then get bumped “All we do now is move
up and down the floor with the ball, and that can be done with
comparative leisure.” Other officials hold an
opposite view
and claim the constant
rush takes more out of them than the old game and its center jump
hazards. . . . However, this is the
fourth season for Pacific Coast
teams under the jumpless center system and officials out there have adjusted themselves to the change and have learned how to ease through the 40 minutes without undue pressure.

Shortridge today looked with confidence toward next week's city tournament and beyond that to the prospect of even greater triumphs. This spirit of optimism was prompted by a stirring 29-22 upset victory over the Martinsville Artesians on the home floor last night. Showing a versatile attack, the locals caught and passed the Martinsville quintet three times and finally staged a spurt in the closing minutes which assured a comfortable margin of victory. Shortridge was the only local team to win against out-state opposition. Tech, previous conquerors of Shortridge, Washington and Broad Ripple were defeated. Cathedral downed Manual in a purely local affair.
Schlake Starts Rally
Shortridge backers felt that the victory indicated the North Siders were back in stride after an unsuccessful holiday campaign. Next objective, they said, is to avenge the recent 2-point beating at the hands of Tech when the two meet in the opening round of ‘the city tournament next week. Emory Schlake set the pace for Shortridge last night. He started Shortridge’s triumphal march early in the last period when he batted the ball at the foul line, caught it under the basket and scored, inceasing the locals’ lead to 24 to 19. Shortly before, Schlake had stood in the far left center of the court and flipped in the shot which started the winning rally. Fred (Moose) Krampe, 6-foot 4inch center, shared honors with Schlake, who scored 10 points to Krampe's eight. Krampe and redheaded Don Bruce did some valuable under-the-basket work for Peterman’s netters. Bill (Lightning) Shane was outstanding for Martinsville, getting two fielders and three free tosses. Twenty-three fouls were called, 12 on Shortridge. Bruce was banished on personals with about a minute to play. Both teams were unusually inaccurate at the free throw line, missing 17 out of 30 free flings. Shortridge (29) Martinsville (22)

Deliver Ball
Avoid Using Too Much Speed.
(Second of a Series)
By JOE FALCARO Match Game Champion Regulation alleys are 41 inches wide, and I tell beginners to stay in the center, directly in front of the No. 1 pin. In the delivery, it doesn’t make any difference whether you make three steps or four, as long as you finish with the left foot forward. Naturally, in the case of a southpaw, it is just the opposite. In" other words, you deliver the ball naturally. In that way you follow through, just as in golf. The foul line is there for two reasons. The first is that you may stay in back of it. The other is that it enables you to look at a definite spot 12 or 14 feet in front of you, and you must hit that spot to get good scores. In golf, you don’t look at the hole. You keep your eye on the ball. In bowling, you don’t look at the pins. You keep your eye on the spot where your ball is to hit. There is only one way to bowi. That is spot bowling. Some advocate aiming for the one-three pocket, but that is like flying in the fog. The star bowler footwork, delivery, never changes. Too much speed is a handicap. You are not trying to knock the building down. The pins are your objective. There never is a time when you should throw the ball

Heavy Firing Due Tonight in Big Ten Race
Every Team in Conference to See Action; Hoosier Fives In Spotlight.
By STEVE SNIDER United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 8.—One favorite went down in an early skirmish and others may fall tonight when every team in the Big Ten swings into the 1983 Conference basketball campaign. Purdue and Minnesota, the surviving favorites, were the chief targets on the first five-game schedule of the season, Minnesota travels to Wisconsin, Purdue plays at Chicago, Illinois, a side-tracked favorite, meets Michigan at Ann Arbor, Indiana invades Iowa and Ohio State plays at Northwestern. Preseason records indicate that neither Minnesota nor Purdue will be extended—but anything goes in the Western Conference as Indiana proved again early in the week by knocking off a heavily favored Illinois team. Purdue once more enters the Conference race with a point-a-minute record in its early games. Some opponents have stopped Jewell Young, the Conference scoring champion, his running mate, Johnny Sines and center Gene Anderson on separate occasions, but never all three at once. Chicago has little to offer in the way of a defense for all three.
Gophers Are Favored
Since Northwestern defeated Wisconsin with apparent. ease, Minnesota's defending cochampions expect to do the same. The Gophers, despite injuries, have paraded a steady, short-passing attack and durable defense all season. They completed a successful invasion of the East, although losing to George Washington, and whipped Notre Dame in their last start. Michigan may hand Illinois its second blow of what started out as a brilliant season. The Illini have speed and five great basket shots, b.t apparentiy lack the stamina to stand up under the bruising game as the average Big Ten team plays it. Led by Johnny Townsend, Michigan will be a tough team for any foe. Victory for Illinois, however, would put them right back in the race. Many eyes will be on Indiana at Iowa. If the Hoosiers come up with another game as good as their opener against Illinois, they definitely will be the darkhorse team of the year. The tour of the West Coast worked wonders with the Hoosiers, who now are functioning at high sped with the veterans, Bill Johnson and Ernie Andres, setting the pace. Iowa will be strengthened by the return of Capt. Sam Johnson and Bennie Stephens, injured stars.
Bulldogs Ready For Marquette
Coach Tony Hinkle and 17 Butler cagers left for Milwaukee today to seek their eighth basketball victory of the season against Marquette University tonight. Marquette has not defeated Butler since 1922. With Jerome Steiner, sophomore and varsity forward, nursing a sprained ankle, Coach Hinkle will start a new lineup against the Hilltoppers. Replacing Steiner will be Willard Fawcett, former Logansport High School star. Fawcett gained a starting berth as the result of his sparkling play against Michigan last week. At the other forward will be George Perry. Bill Merrill will be at center and Bill Geyer and Art Cosgrove will share the guard positions.

At the rate the Indianapolis hitters are assured of getting their date in spring training. Leo Miller, the Tribe's general manager, came up with three new hurlers today and the staff now resembles a young army. Following the purchase of Wes Flowers, southpaw, from the Chicago Cubs last night, Miller announced the acquisition of George Gondira, 22 years old, righthander, from the Boston Nationals on option. Gondira measures 6 feet and tips the scales at 173 pounds. He won 10 games and lost nine with McKeesport of the Penn State Association in 1936 and won seven and lost eight with Columbia in the South Atlantic League last year.
