Badminton — the = only racquet game played without a ball—has been a popular sport in the" Indianapolis Athletic Club for nearly 10 years. According to Ned Teany, I. A. C. athletics instructor, the game is a descendant of the ancient Indian game called “poona,” and was introduced in England as early as

11843. The story is that in 1843 a

group of British army officers, home from India on furlough, attended a dinner at Badminton House, the country estate of the Duke of Beaufort. The officers mentioned the popular sport of “poona,” and to explain the game to the Englishmen present, they tied goose quills around champagne corks, and with

“| books, batted the “birds” at each

other. The guests went for the game

{in a big way—according to the story

—took it up in earnest and changed the name to that of the host's house, Badminton.

Two champions will clash with opponents in the City tomorrow night while Shortridge, Tech and Washington travel elsewhere to find their opposition. The champions, Manual in Indianapolis and Southport in Marion

| County, will both be favoritee to

defeat their respective rivals, Danville and Cathedral. Shortridge will enter the fray against Crawfordsville, on the short end of the betting as ‘a result of the decisive drubbing the Athenians gave Washington recently. Since the Continentals hold a 40-38 victory over the Blue Devils, the edge Some will doubt this to be a good basis of ‘comparison and may point out the Continentals more recent losses to both Tech and Manual. Tech Meets Marion Regardless of the comparisons, the Blue Devils are conceded to be potentially dangerous and may hit their stride in this encounter. Fred Krampe, star center for the Northside team, has scored 117 points to date, and if heé is able to get 13 more Friday night he will be hitting them at a rate of 10 points

Jack Purcell, Canadian pro, is undisputed champion of the world, having disposed of all opponents. Purcell and a group of Canadian players visited the I. A. C. recently and appeared in exhibition matches. It is estimated that well over a half million persons are playing the game today. Badminton is an intriguing sport because the shuttlecock, or “bird,” used instead of a ball, cuts all kinds of capers, and the game is all played in the air Goese Feathers and Cork The shuttlecock consists of 16 goosefeathers attached to a kidskin covered cork. Most of the feathers aren't ordinary barnyard fowl plumage. They're imported ' from Czechoslovakia, where geese are raised primarily for “pate de foie gras” (goose liver to you) and the feathers are sold as a byproduct. Mrs. E. B.

Cathedral Takes Over Noblesville

Times Special NOBLESVILLE, ‘Feb. 2—Cathedral’s Irish basketballers displayed a new burst of form last night as they drubbed Coach Glenn Overman’s Noblesville Millers, 36-22. After Joe Parr’s first minute free toss had given the Hamilton County boys a shortlived lead, Paul Moxley counted to give Cathedral a margin which they never relinquished. The Irish continued the drive during a fast second period and outscored the Millers 5 to 4 to hold a 16-12 lead at the half. John Mattingly, newly elected team captain, turned in a splendid defensive performance and potted four fielders and two free tosses to count 10 points and tie Moxley: for scoring honors. Bernie Moss’ last-minute fielder gave the Irish reserves a 21-20 vice tory over the Noblesville “B” team in the preliminary. Summary: Cathedral (36) Noblesville (22)
