By Eddie Ash TOURNEY AS SEEN FROM CHICAGO

IT'S REALLY QUITE AN EVENT!

(CHICAGO, March 2—That fellow who first expressed 5 the sentiment that it’s difficult “to see the forest for the trees,” or words to that effect, knew what he was ~ talking about. . . . We've been up here four days now and

. it’s surprising the amount of questions we have to answer : concerning that big state high school basketball shindig

“-that gets under way with sectional competition Thursday “night in 64 centers throughout Indiana. . . . We give them a few statistics concerning the some 8000 players, _ the scores of officials, coaches and such involved and it ~ sort of leaves them gasping. This, in turn, has had an - effect on the boys who are here with The Indianapolis

~Times-Legion boxers for the = of Champions.

Golden Gloves Tournament

They are beginning to realize what a

“really big thing that tournament is! Living in a basketball atmosphere, tournament time - is just something taken for granted like rain, or a good “old Indianapolis smog, or another heavyweight wrestling _ champion come to do battle at Lloyd Carter’s arena. You

* just take ’em in stride.

But being away for awhile you get a different per-

spective.

”

BEFORE leaying we had occasion to talk with some of

the coaches and officials

and we were surprised to

find that most of them think that this year’s upsets in . the early eliminations are likely to exceed the heavy cas-

*.ualties of past tournaments.

z= "They point out that the elimination of the center jump has

7** brought all teams onto a - gq, Beaver Dam, a Cicero,

more even plane. . C a Winamagc, or a Michigantown is planning

. . Somewhere, right now,

E -to give the dope bucket a lusty boot. Those “seers” who hung themselves on the limb labelled “Hunt-

*"ingburg” don’t care if Jasper gets beaten quickly in- the Jasper o The Hunters drubbed Woody Weir's Wildcats 33 to 23

‘and 43 to 18 during the season. . . . It’s an old Hoosier sayin’ that it does a team no good to beat its bitter rival twice during the

“~' Season. « «+ «» SO,

many dopesters are plunging for Jasper to win its

I" own sectional, thereby shuttling the Joyous Nimrods to the sidelines.

They expect the Jaspers to turn the tables on the Hunters,

count-

Woe

= The same may be true at Noblesville, where Tipton and the host ~--team Millers battle in the opening round. . . . Tipton thundered over

T the recumbent forms of Coach Glen Overman’s lads twice, thus making * no friends in the Millertown. .. . and all Noblesville fans are pleading

for an upset.

8 ; T the time of the city series, local fans thought Washington bl had a “shooting” ball club, because the Continentals banged

- away at the iron ring

about 70 times a game.

. . . The other night,

~ when Greencastle played at Columbus, Columbus took about 75

= shots. /

Said Coach George Boots of Columbus sadly, “They only got about

“70 shots tonight. . . .

why, they've been as high as 94 in one game

this season!” . . . Mr. Boots, being a graduate of Purdue, it can easily be understood where his Bulldogs get their firewagon attack. In this game, for second place in the South Central Conference, Greencastle made the mistake of trying to keep up with the hurrying

Canines, instead of holding down the pace. . .

. "The result was some

action that looked like a cross between the finish of a 50-yard dash

and bombardment in Spain. .

. . It seemed like balls fell from the

ceiling as the lads grabbed the. leather off the backboard and fired as

soon as they saw the cords of their own goal. With all the state's “choosers” scrambling out on one limb or

another, they've paused to poo-poo the Indianapolis sectional,

nder-

son regional, and Indianapolis semifinal, many of them saying that

: + “even Anderson” defense effort. .

might get as far as the round of four in its title . . Such scribblers can easily be building themselves

...up for an awful long drop, most of them hot having seen any of the

.. southeastern clubs in action. : ‘sas =» !

AMMOND, the “white hope” of northern Indiana, is being shyed away from in championship picking, because a northern team has . never won and few of the dopesters believe this is a northern year. - _..1In defense of the northern aggregations, it might be pointed out . that they go through strenuous sectionals, in most cases, while many ‘of the outfits nearer the Ohio just warm up on their sectional

opposition.

Once the pride -of the Ohio River ‘environs, Jeffersonville and New Albany have skidded to a point where not much attention is

being paid them. . .

. It almost goes without saying that the team

coming up from the Vincennes semifinal will bear all kinds of bruises

and scratches. .

. . Martinsville, Sullivan, New Albany, Jeffersonville,

Bedford, Huntingburg, Vincennes, Central of Evansville, Bloomfield and only four or five dozen others will be battling for the right to

represent the southern sector. it is delightful to notice

that George (Wig) Pearcy, United Press

all-state center from Martinsville, shuns publicity and does not read about or discuss the game when away from the playing floor. © . . And this is a town where Coach Curtis is supposed to place a basketball jn the hands of every newborn male!

Players Rest For Tourney

City and county coaches will either excuse their hasketball warriors this afternoon or send them through light tuneups calculated to put them on edge for the opening of sectional play here tomorrow night at Tech gym. At the same time competitioh will begin in 63 other centers throughout the state. " Ben Davis will get the local tourney under way by clashing with Oaklandon, with the Giants favored to cut down the Oaks and move into the second round. Ben Davis was surprised in the opening round of the county tourney by Speedway, when the Speedway quintet ran up such a huge lead on the Giant reserves that the varsity five couldn’t get control of the game. Hence, Ben Davis is expected to step at nearly top speed against Oaklandon. ‘ In the second game tomorro night, Washington and Warren Central mix. They met two weeks ago at the West Side gym and Warren Central took a one-point victory from its hosts. The city champion Continentals, one of the favorites, are expected to avenge this defeat and move into the second round. Tech plays the final game tomorrow night against Franklin Township and is expected to advance. With the winner of the ManualLawrence game to combat in the second round, the Big Green is considered to have the best draw of any

Are in Peril,

. According to Larry Holmes;

Entry Filed

Eastern Illinois State Teachers to Be Represented by Eight

Men; March 19 Event

Expected to Be Most

Colorful of All. | ;

Relay records are expected to crumble again this year lays when the “big guns” in

annual Butler University Indoor Re

shoot at the six records which were set

at the sixth track last year. Two of these records,

the high jump and the university’s two-mile relay, were new world’s

records. Eastern Illinois State Teachers College of Charleston, Ill, is the sixth school to file an entry. The entry of eight men reached relays offices today. : The Teachers are entered in the one mile, medley and two-mile relays. Ninety-three athletes representing six schools now are registered for competition in the carnival. » Lawrence Holmes, director of the carnival which will be held in the Fieldhouse March 19, today made the prediction that Midwestern track fans will witness the fall of several indoor track records both'in the relay and individual events. Last season the University of Michigan one-mile relay team came through with a new record of 30:20.4 in this event. Immediately afferwards the Ohio State two-mile team running in the university section set a new world’s record of 7:44.4. The next record to fall was the university medley relay which was won by Indiana University in 10:22.7. Indiana’s famous four-mile relay team completed the smashing of records in the university section by setting a new mark>of 17:56.4. Burke Also ‘Expected Mel Walker, star Ohio State high jumper, who had been fighting it out all season with Dave Albritton, a team mate, and Dave Burke of Marquette University, for the indoor high jump title gave the crowd a real thrill by set anid’s record of 6 feet 9% inches. in’ the high jump event. This season Dave Albritton will be back to try and crack the record set by his friend. As yet relay officials have not received an entry blank from Marquette but they have had favorable replies stating that Burke also will be entered this year. “Big Bill” Watson, high shotphtter, was one of the reasons last year why the University of Michigan was able to total enough points to win the carnival for the fourth consecutive time. He set a new record of 50 feet 5 inches. Holmes said Watson will again probably be the most outstanding man in this event this year. Outstanding : among the Notre Dame entries is Dan Gibbs, pole vaulter; Ohio State has Albritton; Michigan has Watson; Marquette has Burke, and Indiana University has Tommy Deckard. With this array of stars each event is expected to be packed with tough competition. A Ss Campus organizations are co-oper-ating with the Relay committee to make the carnival as colorful as

‘Mr. Holmes: in formal attire as will the Relay

possible. Multi-colored streamers will be festooned from the roof of the giant fieldhouse. Banners done in the colors of each school entered also, will blend in the riot of colors. B in red, white and blue, will laced around the rails of the first balcony and the sandy loam floor of the track will be covered with brightly colored sawdust. The Relays will continue to be one of the only formal affairs of its kind in the Midwest, according to Officials will appear °

Queen and her court. The pageant and parade of the Queen leading her court followed by the officials and more than 300 athletes again will open the program. “ A capacity crowd is expected as ' advance ticket sales have been

‘heavy. Only 13 box seats remain

on the north side of the track where the starting line and high jump are located. In all, more than 17 boxes have been sold and cam=pus organizations have taken out 5200 tickets. Tickets are on sale at Spaldings’ sporting goods store, 9 E. Market St. and at the univer sity bursar’s office.
