SPORTS AND ATHLETICS

BROOKVILLE endurance whs out

Winner Brookvllle High. Runner-up Richmond High. Third Honor Divided by New Castle and Carthage. Brdbkville, 19; Richmond, 17.

"Heartbreaker" Is the nearest approach to a -word that might be used effectively in describing that Brook-ville-Richmond district champ title battle at the Coliseum Saturday night. That It. H. S. without shadow of doubt the best team in the district and the logical winner of the meet should be defeated for signal honors by a team that a short matter of weeks ago could but furnish the Quakers with strenuous practise, is a problem still worrying the Richmond fans. Some three weeks ago Brookvllle high, then considered as a speedy but not dangerous five. Invaded the Rich

mond camp for a battle with R. H. S

The score of that game 42 to 20, Richmond, was representative of the merits of the respective teams. Noth

ing was at stake in this game. Breaks Under 8traln.

Saturday night with the title of dis

trict champs at stake, with the Bloom-

ington trip as a reward, and backed

bv the best school spirit ever display

j ed In Richmond, the Quakers through I some explained phenomena of fate ! failed to display any of the class that caused R. H. S. to be rated as one

of the first teams of the state. How did It all happen?

The answer apparently Is simple enough. Richmond high, a team composed of exceptionally young players,

a team that had expended Its energies

in defeating New Castle just a few

hours before, was not physically fit to come back at the heavier and older Brookvllle men, who outweighed, outreached and out-aged their opponents by many pounds, inches and years. And before the impression is given that any credit is being detracted from the showing of the Brookvllle team It might be added that B. H. S. won the tourney fair and square, by heady playing, excellent generalship, superb physical condition and its determination to win. All credit to Brookvllle, the team that is to represent the Sixth district in the tourney lists at Bloomington next week. Crowd Pack Coliseum. Coming back to the game fully one hour before the opening whistle every seat in the big Coliseum was taken. Standing room was at a premium. At 8 o'clock the hall held 1,000 more persons than it was ever intended to hold. Enthusiasm ran rampant. It was the greatest basketball gathering in the history of the game in Richmond or Indiana for that matter. The game opened with Brookvllle setting the pace. Two minutes after start of play the Franklin county

crew, thanks to a iiem ana ioui point combination of Bossert, led the home team by three points. Porter's long, arching shot from near mid floor gave the Quakers their first score. Throughout the first half, the teams battled on fairly even terms. Richmond If anything, had the. better of the argument this round. R. H. S. in its eagerness to score, missed many easy chances at the Brookvllle goal. Richmond led at the close of the half, 10 to 7. The deluge came in the final. Similar to the New Castle title battle last year, when the local team leading by a comfortable margin at start of the last session, failed to maintain the pace, the game was lost during the closing minutes of play. Years Begin to Tell. Brookville's superior weight and more mature years began to tell in Richmond high, to all appearances, was there with the spirit but the flesh was weak. The Quakers seemed powerless to break up the smashing offensive tactics of English, filant Brookvllle center, who scored fields in rapid succession. "With two minutes yet to go, Parker was relieved in favor of Tal Jessup. Pitts went to center. The change in

tne yuaKer uattie rront netted two nn county

points, w un seventy-seconds yet to go basketball

TREAT PROMISED IF TEAM WINS

That the "treat in store for the Richmond club" still holds good if the Quakers win from Muncie in Wednes

day night's game is evidenced in the following communication to the sport

department of the Palladium: "I wish to thank you for devoting

space in your paper concerning the

treat in store for Mr. Evans and his help mates. I wish to state that the proposition still holds good for the Muncie game to be played this week. The game was hard fought Thursday night and I believe that they really tried to win. There is but one man on the team who knows this proposition is a good one as he was told about it I overheard a remark Thursday night that the treat was just a five cent cigar apiece. I wish to say that Jthis party holds the wrong impression entirely. The player which I have made reference to knows that this is wrong. He played very hard, as he knew what was in store for him. Trusting that you will attend to the publishing of this Yours, Per F. A. R.

FORWARDS RING EQUAL NUMBER OF FIELD SHOTS

RICHMOND'S RECORD. Richmond 63; Union City .... 7 Richmond 22; New Castle 15 Richmond...... 17; Brookvllle 19 The record of the R. H. S. basketball team was marred only by the unexpected defeat at the hands of Brookvllle. After getting way to a flying start against Union City, and then defeating New Castle, R. H. S. failed to respond in the final and deciding game. Richmond scored 102 points in the three games. Its opponents scored 41. Richmond's performance in the first

two games was of such calibre that local fans were not prepared for the surprise furnished in the final and

deciding game. Richmond's victories over New Castle and Union City were comparatively easy. Brookvllle, considered a weaker team than N. C. H. S. by a wide margin, was counted as easy prey for the Quakers.

Individual records of the team show

Porter, Brown and Parker well bunched in the matter of points scored. Porter and Brown each trapped thirteen

field goals. Parker annexed twelve.

Ten foul point markers give Parker an edge in total number of points

scored. Pitts with four baskets, and Jessup and Meranda with two each, complete the basket shooting record.

QUAKERS LOSE TO CINCY FIVE IN LAST HALF

CINCINNATI, March 13. The local Christ Church team defeated the fast Quaker quintet of Richmond, Ind., here Saturday night by the score of 48-35. The game was fast and onfe of the cleanest "exhibitions seen on the local floor this season. The visitors had the most effective team work, but the locals were able to cover more quickly

and were more accurate on their shots. The game started off with a rush

with a field goal by Koebel, who Im

mediately afterward tossed a goal on

a foul by Parker. . Then the visitors seemed to find their bearings and from that time until the end of the first half it was nip and tuck between both teams, the half ending with the

Quakers in the lead of a 19-18 score.

The locals at the beginning of the

second half took new life and from that time on they were never headed, although the Hooslers threatened to take the lead several times. Alberts and Koebel played the best for Cincinnati, while Jones and Logan played consistently for the Indiana boys. The score:

MUNCIE, Ind., March 13 The East ern All-Stars defeated the Muncie team here Saturday night in an overtime game by a score of 7 to 6. The Muncie boys had the game sewed up until the last of the third period, when Harkins and Hlgglns got in some extra licks and tied the score before the gong sounded. In the overtime period Higgins caged an easy one when the ball rolled out of a scrimmage In front of the Muncie goal. Following Is the

CARTHAGE LOST IN LAST SECOND OF CLOSE DUEL

Brookvllle 31; Carthage, 30.

With the score standing. 30-29, Carthage, ten seconds before the close of

the game. Guard Gies of the B. H. S. five took a drive at the basket. The timer's gun was raised in the air as

the sphere dropped through the hoop for the goal that robbed Carthage of

the right to battle Richmond In the final. It was one of the prettiest battles of the tourney. Carthage showed unexpected strength and for a time threatened to eliminate the team that was later to take the final from Richmond. Carthage was thrown out of the race by the speedy and clever work of Center Bjossert of the B. H. S. To the fact that the Carthage guards coufd not smother the lengthy for-, ward of the Purple and White is attributed the loss of the game tor C. H. S. Bossert scored eighteen of his team's total of thirty-one points. Guards Milbourne and H. Shirk played to form: For Carthage, Center Pierce, as usual was a brilliant star. He scored sixteen of his team's thirty points. Dye and Linscott, C. H. S., deserve credit The score: Brookville.
