BACKBOARD

By TOM Ogu REE

- THERE ARE rumblings

of A again in northern

Indiana, but of no alarming proportions, of course.

The suggestion merely ha

s been made that some of the|.

high schools in that section pull out of the I. H. S. A. A. and form an athletic governing body of their own,

Cause of this latest flareup

was the association’s proposal to ban intersectional football gates: This wasn't an iron-clad ruling by Mr. Trester and associates, but even so the idea was about as popular up North as a German dialect comedian in a French music hall. In a word, they definitely no likee.

“Also a Chicago newspaper recently sent out feelers, in Ft. Wayne to see if the four schools in that city would participate in a basketball tournament with four of the strongest quintets in the Illinois metropolis. Such an affair would conflict with present policies of the Indiana association, and the plan was dropped for that reason. : Spokesman for the rebels is Jack Ledden, South, Bend; sports writer, who suggests that the teams in the Northern Indiana Conference, the North Central | Conference and the Ft. Wayne schools drop out and perfect their own set-up. He figures then that these schools could compete in intersectional football games, play in’invitational basketball tournaments in other states, hold summer clinics in football and basketball and conduct a northern Indiana tournament that would be profitable. But this whole idea probably will ‘last about as long as ice cream at d kids’ party. In the first place, school authorities always wait for the other fellows to jump the fence first before they stick out their necks. Also the I. H S. A. A. may rule with an Jon hand and not too much tact, but®at least it does enforce its authority and keep down proselyt-|2 ing of players and other questionable athletic practices. Most school officials realize that even when they are complaining loudest against some Particulat fuling. 2 » =

Pittsburgh | Jinx Hits

Bowman’s Injury Likely to Keep Him Out for Rest of Season.

By J. E. O'BRIEN Manager Herbie Lewis of the Indianapolis hockey team set out this afternoon on another hunt for talent to bolster his thinned Capital roster after the second jinx visit of the Pittsburgh Hornets. The Hornets played here last night, and this time apparently the sign was on Scotty Bowman. The Caps’ defense man crashed into the boards in the second period and had to be carried from the rink. Physicians reported today that he suffered a fractured ankle and would be out for the rest of the season. This left Lewis short of defenders inasmuch as Eddie Bush still is unavailable for service. The Capitals’ pilot was to fly to Detroit to look over some Canadian amateur players and hoped to have new material for the locals when they play at Cleveland tomorrow night. Let someone make off with a record of the International-American League standings, and the Hornets would do a good job of bluffing their way out of the western-division cellar. They convinced 3292 of our hockey-minded citizens at the Coliseum that they deserved more than a share of the basement by battling the division-leading Capitals to a 4-4 deadlock. And in fairness to the Capitals it must be said they didn't spend the evening shoveling snow.

olis was going to have things its own way on the ice. Most of the play was in Pittsburgh territory during the first period, with the Caps pestering the life out of Goalie Harvey Teno and his defending companions. After 11 minutes Glenn Brydson, a temporary Capital employee, received the puck from Les Douglas in front of the Pittsburgh cage and drove it past Mr. Teno.

Thom to Wrestle Kudo on Tuesday

Billy Thom, Indiana University’s head mat coach and a former light heavyweight champion of the world, will attempt to spoil the clear record of Kiman Kudo, Japanese ace, in the Armory wrestling ring next Tuesday night. According to Promoter Lloyd Carter, it is at the insistence of Thom that the bout has been arranged. Billy was upset here recently by Lord Lansdowne and had asked to face Lansdowne again, but in view of the Briton’s loss to Kudo last Tuesday, Thom. now wants to tackle Kudo. ‘The latter agreed to place his undefeated local record “on the spot.” Carter already had signed Louis Thesz, 230, St. Louis, to meet Tom Zaharias, 225, Pueblo, Colo,, in the feature event, so he now announces that he will offer a double-header main go with both matches carded for two falls out of three. Thesz is a former heavyweight champ, while Tom is a member of the Zaharias “family” of aggressive grap-

while the wafer didn’t. Douglas’ handiwork, however, earned him a io-minvie sentence in the penalty 0X Then came the neatest trick of the evening. From far back of the blue line Bud Kashner teed off and drove the disc head-high at Goalie Franks. It came in like a line drive off a Yankee bat and smacked into the meshes beside Jimmy's ear for the visitors’ first goal. But Indianapolis went out in front again some eight minutes later when Scotty Bowman, Bob Whitelaw and Bill Thomson broke for the cage and found the Hornets’ rear line undermanned. Bowman scored the goal, and his fellow travelers were awarded assists.

An Argument Arises |

That’s how they moved into the third period, Indianapolis leading, 2-1. And the hot pace made for hot tempers. Buck Jones of the Capitals and red headed Pete Kelly of Pittsburgh collided, and both went for their sticks: The. referee sent them to the penalty box for two minutes, and it was all the turnkey could do to keep them from renewing their encounter in jail. Goldup’s goal after 5 minutes and 53 seconds of the period tied the score again, but the Capitals were on top in less than four minutes on Abel’s goal from close in. Ron Hudson counted for Indianapolis shortly afterward to make the score 4-2. John Sherf was credited for the third Hornet goal, and Babe Tapin and Don Metz were awarded assists, although Archie Wilder figured he had a lot to do with the success of the play. * Archie got his stick caught in Metz’s skate near the goal, and the

lighter Wilder around with him. The red beacon was burning before the two were operating as units again. Metz’s accurate shot from the side at 12:56 knotted the score, 4-4, and that’s how it stayed. Summary: Tadianapolis “) Pittshurgh (4)
