Show Power
Since 1920, city teams have pretty well dominated the sectional play, but in the last three years, only Shortridge was able to get into the finals. Southport and Decatur Central fought it out in 1939, Shortridge beat Decatur Central in 1940, and last year the Hawks whipped Ben Davis, 35 to 20. Tech has the best record of any of the participants, having hung up eight sectional scalps, two of them in 1920 and ’21, and in ’27, 29 and ’30, ’32, '34 and ’37. City teams have had 18 firsts; the county| four.
Shortridge Wins 7
Shortridge has won seven times; Southport twice, once in 1924 and again in 1939; Manual twice, in successive years—1922 and ‘23, and Broad Ripple, Ben Davis and the Hawks each once. The city has had 13 ruaners-up
in second six times and Manual and Ben Davis each three. times. The complete record: 1920—Tech, 27; Shortridge, 16. 1921—Tech, 19; Manual, 14. 1922—Manual, 31; Tech, 25. : 1923—Manual, 28; Ben Davis, 20. 1924—Southport, 38; Tech, 35. 1925~-Shortridge, 22; Manual, 20. 1926—Shortridge, 25; Tech, 16. 1927—Tech, 30; Warren Central, 14.

Longson, Now Champ, Is Back “wild Bill” Longson, wearing his newly gained heavyweight championship belt, returns to the armory wrestling ring next Tyesday night for an appearance against an opponent yet to be named. "The rough and tumble Longson, who has been the No. 1 “villain” of local fans ever since his first match here last fall, came through with a surprise upset over Sandor Szabo last week in St. Louis and now is recognized as heavyweight champion by the National Wrestling association. According to reports, «wild Bill” used his well known “pile driver” hold to subdue Sandor in one of the roughest bouts staged in St. Louis in many seasons. Longson, whose homie is in Salt Lake City, but who has been residing in New York, went undefeated here in eight matches, |

Luke Appling Doesn't ‘Get If’;
Contract Calls
BANDY SPRINGS, Ga., Feb. 26 (U, P).—Lucius B. Appling rolled
for Wage Cut
up to the Sandy Springs general store and post office in something of a dither this morning, kicked over a stack of well buckets—on sale
this week—and loudly called for: “One airmail special delivery.” Luke slapped the stamp on a Harry Grabiner, vice president, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles, Cal., and’ jammed it into the slot next to the pickle barrel. “Can you imagine that guy,” the Sox holdout shortstop stormed to the assembled members of . the Sandy Springs lets-sit-and-whittle club. “I told him I'm willing to cooperate. I'm willing to be fair. What does he do? Mails me back the same contract—and a nasty note saying ‘This is war time.’ Well, he’s getting it right back again.” _ Appling, who is attempting to negotiate a contract for his 13th season as the White Sox's regular shortstop; simmered down long enough to explain the situation. “The Sox sent me a contract ten days ago. They wanted me to take a cut both in my basic salary, and| william

Tops Tonight's
Martinsville-Bloomington Tilt
155 Games
By UNITED PRESS “The delightful insanity of high school basketball, and its loyal constituents, bursts loose tonight in 64 cities and towns, where 310 teams will scrap as if life itself depended upon winning. And after a year of diagramming, training, practicing and planning, 155 of them will be eliminated—with only next year to look forward to.
Only one instance of two top appeared on this year’s drawings: It's the Martinsville-Bloomington game tonight at 9 ozlock. In the Bloomington sectionai, and one of the best rtvalries in the state will be decided for another year.
However, in 16 other cases, top-
| notch teams go into action against
inferior opposition. : Favorites to Watch
Anderson’s Indians against Markleville; the Mitchell Bluejackets, state finalists against Hammond Tech in 1940, versus Shawswick; little Winslow, who may give Jasper a strong run in the Jasper sectional, plays Holland tonight.
Lebanon, conqueror of Frankfort, Lafayette, Anderson and Ft. Wayne South Side in season play, starts its drive for the sectional crown against Thorntown tonight; Johnny Wooden’s powerful South Bend Central aggregation meets South Bend John Adams.
Both Roosevelt and Washington of East Chicago play in their own tourney tonight, Roosevelt facing Gary Edison and Washington meeting Wheeler. The Lafayette Broncos, consistently ranked among the state's 10 best, faces Wea.
Our Cubs Meet Saluda
Evansville. Central, early-season winners over Horace Mann and the Washington Hatchets, plays Vernon; Madison’s Cubs; finalists in the 1941 state final, square off with Saluda; Ft. Wayne Central, another favored ascender to the throne, pairs off in a city battle with North Side.
Also, Michigan City versus Rolling Prairie; Greensburg and Zenas; Indianapolis Howe and Southport; Erwin Township and Kokomo; Gary Emerson and Chesterton. Only 24 of the 64 tourneys come back for play Friday morning. More pick up Friday afternoon, and by tomorrow night, all will be in full swing again. The entire day will drop another 358 teams from ‘the race. Saturday rounds will pluck out 192 additional teams, leaving the 64 sectional winners to advance to regional play the following week.
teams clashing in the first round
action, fans looked for a few of them to be upset in sectional rounds. In high school basketball, anything can happen. The kids that shoot in those wild, one-handed shots from unbelievable positions don’t even have the good graces to act surprised when that net whispers its familiar “swish.”
De Pauw Nips Wabash, 32-31
Wabash and DePauw colleges closed their basketball seasons last night at Greencastle with Wabash winning, 32 to 31, in a contest as close at Saturady is to Sunday. In other college conference games, Franklin edged Manchester, 52 to 51, at Franklin with Dick Frazell scoring 20 points and setting a new all-time Baptist scoring record of 202 points for one season. Indiana State avenged an earlier
defeat last night whipping Ball State, 38 to 30, at Terre Haute. Fred
the Sycamores into an early lead they never relinquished.
Hanover Scores Easily
Hanover kept the scoreboards busy in its season finale last night romping over hapless Valparaiso, 72 to 40, at Hanover. Valpo never was in the game as four Hanover players connected for 12 or more points. The Wabash-D Pauw tilt evened matters for the two schools this sea son. Wabash had won the first game this year. DePauw only.lead by one point at the end of the first half. The Little Giants were leading 28 to 25, before Max Biggs and Etcheson leveled the score. Hiebert tipped in a rebound for the Tigers with four minutes to play. DePauw exercised the optional out-of-bounds rule in the final minutes on four

Cardinal- Howe Game Opens Local Tourney
After 1st Round I's: Get Up and Swing
By HARRY MORRISON Tonight at 7 o'clock spring comes to Indianapolis and Indiana. . Out from the havens "of
winter hibernation, will come the city and state’s faithful, drawn by the 31st running of the Indiana derby—the state tourney. y Fifteen teams in the Indianape olis area are in the race here, Southport and Howe are first in the starter’s gate——at 7 p. m in Tech’s gym. You can forget about the cold wind; ice and snow or wind may come, but the east side gym will be overheated tonight by’ thousands of cheering fans.
Who'll Win?
Who'll win? Some say Tech, othe ers Decatur Central or Washington, or some dark horse, like Southport or Franklin twp. both good teams when the Ships ‘are down. Everybody will have a Mvorite and everyone will be rooting for an individual star to give his team a boost to the regionals here a week from Saturday. Maybe it'll be Tech’s Bobby Wile son, who'll be playing despite the fact that he laid .off a couple of days to nurse a sore throat. Wil son had 109 points in 16 games. Bob Lollar or Charles Miller may get hot for Decatur Ceéntral, but little Don Tingle of Southport ma cool them off, the way he did wh the Cardinals met the Hawks in the county finals.
Negley Has 178
There’s Bob Negley, who scored 178 points for Lawrence of Central, and Little Dewey Hoss, 5 feet 8% inch Ben Davis forward. Or Bill Arnold of Manual, who knocked off 138 points in the sea son’s games, Franklin township will be a hard team to handle if big Bob Windhorst gets going. He wasn’t well during the county tourney, but he’s scored more than 200 points during the season, averaging more than 14 a game, ’ - Millard Applegate of Warren Central, who was all-county last year, has 191 points to show he’s still in the running. Watch Jack Buchanan of Howe, who scored 142 points to lead his team, or Don King or Morgan Clark, of Washington and. Spa tespectively. The Schedule After the Southport-Howe game, Speedway meets Washington at 8 o'clock, and Broad Ripple faces Ben Davis at 9. Tomorrow morning at 10, Decatur Central meets Franklin township, at 3) Beech Grove and Shortridge face 0 omorow at 2 p. m, Warren Central "a Central of Lawrence
