1st State Meet: At L.U.in 1911

Exactly 11,531 persons are expected to crowd into the Coliseum Saturday for the four-team final of the 1944 state high school basketball tournament. In contrast, only 1600 spectators watched the first state meet in 1911 at the old Assembly hall at Indi~ ana university, with 12 teams battling for the .championship which was won by Crawfordsville. Since the 1911 tournament, the Scene of the finals has been changed six times, although only four sites were involved. From 1911 through 1918, the tournament was run off at I. U. in the Assembly hall, which seated most of the fans in a balcony overlooking the floor and the remainder in a few rows of bleachers erected for the occasion.

Played at Colleges

Then it was decided that the finals should be alternated between the state colleges, since no other good sites were available and it was felt that it would be best to make

The opportunity came in 1920 to | move the finals, by now a thing of | state-wide interest, to a central lo- | cation—the old Coliseum in Indianapolis.

SOUTH BEND, Ind., March14} (U.

Notre Dame men back were Tom Sheehan, catcher, Bobby Klein, shortstop, and Tom Carlin, second baseman. .Service . transfers included Hudson Nealy, Minnesota catcher; Bill Corson, Chicago pitcher; Al Whitingham, Ohio State outfielder; Joe Sieminski, Illinois pitcher; Len Scarpelli, Santa Clara outfielder; John Mayo, outfielder from Washington U. of St. Louis, and Ken Manarik, Great Lakes third baseman.

Veterans Play

In North-South

PINEHURST, N. C., March 14 (U. P.)—~Four veteran golfers, two of them competing as soldiers, drew attention today as a field of 50 pros

and 20 amateurs teed off for the $3000 North and South open tourna= ment, a 72-hole three day event. The favorites were Sgt. Clayton Heafper, playing out -of Camp

the Exposition building on the fairgrounds, but what is universally known as the “cow barns,” because | it was there that livestock was ex- | hibited. So common was the name “cow barns” among the fans that many from outstate, unfamiliar with In-| dianapolis, trustingly boarded street-; | cars marked “To the barns,” and; were amazed and indignant when [they ended up at the streetcar sheds.

Fieldhouse Is Built

The cow barns handled 9000 fans, but even this was not enough. | The solution was a happy one.| Butler university, stretching out] toward the athletic “big time,”| needed a new gymnasium. The Indiana High School Athletic association needed one, too. The Butler fieldhouse WAS the result in 1928. The I. H. S. A.yA. helped pay for the fleldhouse for a number of years and moved its finals into the spacious new quarters, which could seat 13,500 in 1928 and later were improved ‘to handle 14,883 persons. The ‘war interrupted this arrangement. The army needed thé fieldhouse for students at Butler. So, the basketball tournament finals moved back to the Coliseum in 1943. There were seats for 10, 500 | (last year. Nine new rows of seats have been added for the games this | year.
