fieldhouse. Both Indianapolis and Sheboygan feature a fast-break aitack, and plenty of speed is looked for tonight in the third meeting this season of the two Western division rivals. Andres learned his style of cage offense under Coach Branch McCracken of Indiana while Sh2boygan mentor, Doxie Moore, gained his knowledge of the game under Ward (Piggy) Lambert at Purdue. Both university coaches are known for their speedy type of play, and tonight's rival coaches are exponents of the systems they learned in college. Of the two coaches, Andres has had the better fortune. Twice Indianapolis has defeated the Redskins, although the last victory came on the strength of a slim onepint margin. “Sheboygan’s speedy offense is built around the two forwards, Luther Harris, and Fred Lewis. Harris was a coast guard cage discovery and Lewis gained All-Amer-jcan fame at Eastern Kentucky. Lewis is a candidate for the National league's “rookie of the year” ward.

IHSAA Head Says

He's Not Alarmed

Commissioner L. V. Phillips of the Indiana High School Athletic association said today that he was “not alarmed” by “isolated outbreaks” of poor sportsmanship among Hoosier

Phillips said “only ope incident was reported out of the 500 first team ball games last week.” “We are not condoning the situation,” said Phillips, “but it certainly isn't out of hand.” Phillips said the I. H.S. A. A. board had received some reports of violence at ball games throughout the state. He blamed gambling and overcrowded gymnasiums for the trouble. : Phillips said he was preparing letters to Hoosier high schools concerning handling of the approaching high school basketball tournament and the precautions necessary. “We've had the same sort of trouble down through the years,” said Phillips, “there does seem to be an unusual wave at the moment, <but I am not pessimistic.”
