Tilt to Determine. State - | Conference Champi ons ip

Gussie Doerner Still Has Chance of t Breaking

State Individual Scoring Record

/ By BILL EGGERT Harry Good, Indiana Central’s most successful basketball coach, expressed great desire today of playing a postseason game to settle this “business” of who is the Indiana College Conference champion.

Evansville College are undsfeated, this year in the college race. Indiana Central has one game to play, meeting Manchester at North Manchester tomorrow night. Evansville has one regular game to play closing its season next Thursday night at home against Central Normal. Good feels that when the regular season is over there is no reason why the two clubs could not play here.

The Idea Premgture

“Of course,” said Good, “the idea is a little premature yet, but | it should be settled.” “You will remember last year Butler, Indiana Central and Evansville were in a three-way tie for the college title and we challenged both of them and received no acceptances. It's different this year with Butler out of the way.”

Doerner Adds 21

Meanwhile Gussie Doerner, the Evansville college ace who is hard on basketball nets, last night added 21 points to his season total to bring his total to 382% just 19 points away from a new individual scoring record ‘in the conference. While Doerner was making his a1 points, ' Evansville was losing to Western State of Kentucky, 41 to 40, in a non-conference game. | One game remains on Evansville’s regular schedule—a conference const with Central Normal Thursday ght—when Doerner is doped to his record-breaking. Most of e season he averaged at least 25 points per game, and fans ‘think Gussie will have little trouble with the Normal squad, especially if his teammates feed him enough for the necessary buckets.

Last Catholic -

Indianapolis’ two Catholic high school basketball teams—from Cathedral and Sacred Heart—were to play at Ft. Wayne today in the opening rdunds of what may be the last state Catholic high school tourney. Next year Catholic teams will be admitted to the Indiana High School Athletic association, and because of I H. S. A. A. rulings, probably will not play in any tournament except the “state.” : Sacred. Heart was to begin the party this afternoon, drawing the opening game with South Bend Central Catholic. at 2 o'clock. Cathedral will play at 9:30 o'clock against St. Paul's of Marion.
