Hinkle Names Varsity Team
Four Seniors, One Junior on Butler Quintet.
Coach Tony Hinkle has given notice that his first string Butler basketball squad this year will be made up of four seniors and one Junior, all lettermen. - Jerry Steiner, junior from Berne, and Bill Geyer, Ft. Wayne, are to be used at the forward berths and George Perry, former Shortridge High School player and all-State man at Butler two vears ago, is to be at center. . Chester Jaggers, Louisville, and Laurel Poland, Brownsburg, have been selected for the guard duties. The team opens its season, Dec. 10, against Valparaiso at the Fieldhouse. The combination of five lettermen scrimmaged against a promising allsophomore group yesterday and gave indications that a deliberate brand of ball with a fast break will be used this year. The 20-game sched-
‘ule calls. for. four engagements
against Big Ten schools. Three local prep graduates, all sophomores, have been showing up well and may. land berths on thé varsity squad. They are Jack Clayton of Shortridge; Lester Coombs, Broad Ripple, and Robert Dietz, Washington. Meanwhile Frank Hedden, freshman coach, has been drilling his 50 rhinie candidates for their schedule. Although they play only four games a year, they provide the daily opposition against the varsity in building up a stronger team. The freshmen tilts which will be played -as curtain-raiser games are: Jan. 14, DePauw, here; Feb. 8, Wabash, there; Feb. 21, DePauw, there, and Feb. 24, Wabash, here.
Marshall Victor Over Granovich
Everett Marshall, Colorado wrestler rated heavyweight ‘champion by the National Wrestling Association, retained his title by defeating John Granovich, New ‘York, at the Armory last night. y “Marshall lost the first fall after 34 minutes by an arm lock and body. press. He returned to the mat, sparred with the New Yorker 15 minutes before gaining a ‘fall with a pile driver which dazed Granovich. The champion consented to an extra five minutes of intermission before the final fall. Granovich returned unsteadily and assured the referee he was able to go on, Still dazed, Granovich lasted two minutes for the third fall of the match. Marshall used a variation of the same pile driver and added a body press for the fall. In two preliminary matches Ray Eckert, St. Louis, defeated Tommy O’Foole, Arizona, with a body press afer 18 minutes, and John Katan, of Canada, won by a fall from Jim Coffield, Kansas City, with a drop kick and body press in 27 minutes.

All Signs Point to Gala Season as
Purple Moves
Coach Jones’ Lads Become New Contenders for - Conference Title.
By LEO DAUGHERTY Almost everything in basketball at Washington High School this season is new except veteran Basketball Boss Rowland Jones and his system. ‘Players, fans and even opponents are cheering to the rafters over the opening of the new gymnasium,
with the largest high school playing floor in town, and the evacuation of that auditorium stage cage. The Purple and White team is mostly new. . : The Continentals become A new contenders for the South Central Conference title. A new team is to appear— a B outfit composed of sophomores from reserve ranks. And Jones has conceived the new idea of having two freshman teams with a schedule for each. While the Continentals used their new basketeria in defeating Broad Ripple in their opener last week, the formal opening is to take place Friday night with a bit of fanfare before the first Conference game with the ‘Rushville Golden Bears.
Music and Oratory To Enliven Program
The whistle for the opening program is to be blown at 7:15 o'clock when the band will do its bit. Naturally there is to be some ora=tory and School Superintendent DeWitt. S. Morgan, School Board President Carl Wilde and Principal W-.5 gingsty are to furnish some of it. : The speaking is set for 7:45 and the game is to follow. There will be no preliminary. : The playing floor is 80x50 feet, six feet longer than the standard set in the rule book. The seating capacity is close to 1800. Seats are a brand new folding type, 11 rows high. Theyre constructed in sections about 10 feet long. When not in use, a light push with a handle on the first row sends them telescoping back against the wall. When folded they look like a long chest of drawers and extend out
from the wall only -four feet. There
are additional seats in the balcony. Veteran Mentor in His 12th Season

byville, Greencastle and Franklin. ~~ Three lettermen are on hand from last season.. They're Capt. William Beasley, forward; Don Beuke, center, and Bob McCalip, guard. the starting team with them are Roland Sanders, forward, and Woodrow Finke, guard.
The second five includes Boris Dimancheff and Charley Coats, forwards; Harold Negley, center, and Billy Howard and Robert Gaston, guards.
Finke and Beuke are six-footers while Beasley is only an inch shy of that mark. : “Sanders is a speedster with a lot of drive in dribbling toward the basket,” Coach Jones remarked as he watched the boy. “He plays something like Jewell Young; that style, I mean. “Beasley is the best shot. - He's best on short ones from angles. Finke is the best long shot. He's come a long way since he was a freshman and tried to drop one in Broad Ripple’s basket when playing against them. He's a natural guard and good on the defense. “McCalip’s most valuable asset is his ability at wrist-flip passing, whipping the ball to the man in back of him without looking.
Double-Header Offering on Tap
“Beuke’s the poker face of the squad. His expression never changes. He’s tall, thin, has an exceptionally long reach to snare the ball and is fair at long goal tries.” Jones will continue to use the system of Dr. H. C. Carlson of. Pitt —a continuity or weaving type. play with the players moving on a figure 8 formation, passing and then going ahead of the ball. =. - With 25 to "30 boys on Cloyd Julian's reserve squad, Jones has decided ‘to form a C team of sopho-

Always striving to get more freshmen into action, Jones is going to divide Frank Luzar’s yearlings into two groups according to size and schedule games for both, ; The idea will be tried out on Dec. 8 when Southport will send in two freshman teams. The folding doors
{will be pulled out to separate the
two cross courts in the new gym and two basket hunts will be on at the same time. They may experiment without using the folding doors unless two games side by.side prove too much and the. players venture over into the wrong con-

“Sure that’s a lot of basketball, an awful lot of basketball” Coach Jones smiled. “But it’s a lot. of fun, too.”

Blue Devils Drill For Saturday Tilt
The Shortridge basketball team
today continued preparations for the ‘much anticipated game with Noblesville here Saturday night. Coach Kenneth Peterman yesterday ran groups of four through separate under-the-basket ‘drills. Free throws were given emphasis. As climax to the day's. practice varsity and reserve teams engaged in lengthy scrimmage. With the varsity after a period of inaction was John Allerdice, senior guard and a returing letterman. Allerdice suffered ‘an ankle injury several day. ago. : : Noblesville: opened its season last weék by losing to Sheridan 25 to 17. With this in view, and remembering a decisive victory over Nobles-
predictors give Shortridge the edge for the Saturday game.
