BY FRANK DUNING. Characterized by the unexpected at every turn, the 1915-16 season of Indiana high school basketball -which closed Saturday night, when Jefferson If. 8., of Lafayette grabbed off the I. H. S. A. A. cambric from Crawfordsville in the final title tilt at Bloomington, "was productive of perhaps the best batch of high school basketball material that has ever been developed in the state. Featured by dope "upsets, "darkhorse" surprises. Individual "finds" of rankest and most varied nature, the state classic terminated -with affairs In such a muddled condition that to pick a thoroughly representative "all-star" team is a proposition that flavors of the Impossible. Result Proves Upset That Lafayette, conceded as a strong contender but not championship prospect, Khould take the meet from Crawfordsville, Judged as- an easy winner, and that Lafayette should fill two of the five positions on the all-state mythical varsity came as the unexpected to those who claimed "inside" knowledge on the workings-to-be of the tourney. To name an all-state team from the r list of state calibre material without nhowing preference to certain players through medium of "the break" is a matter understood by those who witnessed the state title series. In giving Forward Brown, of Richmond, a position on the first team and Guard Meranda a second berth guard rating, the fact that both are local men necessarily figures in the deal to

pome extent. There might be and no doubt are men among the state combatant teams who are just as good as Brown. But the fact remains there are none better. Brown, captain of the Richmond team, stacked against the defensive combinations of either Lafayette or Crawfordsville would have shown to advantage. The same applies to Guard Meranda. Few Shining Lights. An outstanding feature of the tournament was the fact that no "Stonebreakers" were unearthed and all men showed about equal ability and cleverness. Guard Tilson, of L. II. S. was perhaps the nearest approach to a sensation. The husky guard of the winning title crew proved to be individual star of the meet. In matter of making the all-state selection, forwards, the first berth to be filled, produced a clouded proposition. With the exception of Forward Von Tress, "the whole Vincennes team," there were no individual stars among end men of the sixteen teams participating. Neither Draper, Cannon, Bunnell or Grimes, forwards who figured in the title clash, were players of the ability of Harold Brown, captain and forward of the R. II. S. The right of Captain Von Tress, to first forward selection. Is not questioned when one considered his performance in the three games played. He scored 52 of his team's 63 point total. Ills floor work was marvelous and hla basket eye uncanny. He with Brown would make the best offensive combination in the state. Campbell Gets Place. For the "centership," Campbell, Lafayette; Parker, Kokomo; and Manton, Crawfordsville, are a trio of liklies. Campbell is shown preference because of his everlasting supply of nerve and pep. His presence pulled L. II. S. through to the state title Saturday night. A tall rangy husk who reminds one somewhat of the Wingate phenom, Campbell deserves his position as pivot man of the allFtate crew. But one guard need be chosen. Tilson of the Lafayette outfit, stands degrees and degrees above his nearest

rival. His right to first guard choice as well as the captaincy of the first squad of the state is unassailable. Tilson's ability to ramble down the floor and trap goals at the same time holding his man scoreless is remarkable. In three games and a fraction Tilson scored 55 points. Tilson might be shifted to forward but his particular style of working the ball down the floor to within range of the basket would prove less effective were he to play this position regularly. Coffing, of the "Wabash Coffing family" is given the other guard position, because of his ability to smother an opponent combined with his unquenchable thirst to get Into a game and scrap.

Klett to Box Ft. Wayne Kid at Local Show

In the main go of the Quaker City A, C. boxing show at the Eagles hall Wednesday night, George Klett, the crack Cincinnati welter meets Young Holzhauer, of Fort Wayne. While Klett has never shown in Richmond he was here about Bix weeks ago when he was matched to meet Clyde Henry of Lima, but the bout was called off. Klett is one of the best welterweights ever turned out of Cincinnati and he comes with the reputation of being one of the gamest men that ever drew on a glove. Holzhauer, his opponent is a product of Fort Wayne and is working out with Hal Stewart and Frankie Mason. Frankie Mason and Joey Nelson, the fast little bantam, who engage in the 10 round semi-windup are expected to put up as good a clash as the main go and the fans can look for some scientific boxing when they meet in the ring.

Lafayette Cops Flag As Timer Lifts Gun A fter Overtime Play

The state title at stake. Four minutes of the five-minute overtime session gone. The score standing 27 to 26, Lafayette. Guard Hunt of Crawfordsville drives down the floor and intercepting a pass, tossed the sphere arching toward the Lafayette goal. L. H. S. backers writh in suspense as the leather rims the hoop and drops outside of the ring. Fifty-five seconds yet to go. Crawfordsville becoming desperate in its attempt to score. , A driving pass, Bunnel's hook at the meshing. A momentary pause of the sphere and again Lafayette is saved only through a favor of fortune. Seconds Fly Rapidly. Fifty second left. Crawfordsville has possession of the ball. Twentyfive seconds. The timer's gun is raised. Guard Tilson blocks a pass, Draper to Grimes. The shot. In a game similar in many respects to that district title battle staged in Richmond just a week ago, Jefferson high school of Lafayette, Saturday night annexed the state title by defeating Crawfordsville, 27 to 26. Five minutes overtime was necessary to decide' the winner. In a battle between teams of near equal ability, L. H. S. won out because it was favored by the "breaks." Crawfordsville, conceded by many as the better team of the two, worked against a jinx. Not to detract any credit from the title winners, who won the game fairly and squarely, C. H. S. certainly had grounds to register a kick against Dame Fortune. Teams Display Nerves. It was obvious that both teams were nervous when they took the floor. In practice the men could not hit the hoops. Throughout the first minutes of the play, neither team could settle down to consistent basketball. Three minutes after the start of play Crawfordsville lost some of the stagey symptoms and began to enliven the battle with field baskets. Grimes, Campbell and Bunnell trapped fields in succession. It seemed a walkaway for C. H. S. Lafayette rallied and evened the count at six. Tilson, Manson and Draper scored fields. The remainder of the first half was nip and tuck and score at the close of the session was 14-13, with Lafayette leading. Repeating its lead of the first round Crawfordsville opened the final with a shower of fields. Grimes and Bunnel rang up beautiful baskets that were tossed from different angles. Tilson the nemises of C. H. S., started trouble a minute later and his pair of two-point tallies saw the score evened at 18 all. Time was becoming short and both teams over-eager in their attempts to sew up the contest. Team w,ork that at start of the second session had been near perfect was becoming less effective. Forwards of both teams were taking mid-floor

shots at the hoops. The crowd was becoming frantic. Loop Field Goals. With a few minutes left to go. Draper and Tilson registered field

goals that kept a balance on the score sheet. Grimes' free, but a second before close of regulation time, evened the count at 25. Time was then called and referee ordered a short rest before the five minute extra time session. With opening of overtime, Crawfordsville took the aggressive. Grimes and Bunnell, however, were nervous and could not locate the basket. Three minutes and thirty seconds after start of time Guard Tilson, of Lafayette, encamped to the ieft of the enemy's goal, took a lucky stab at the sphere and the meshing moved for the last and deciding goal of the state title series.

Catarrh Is the offspring- of "colds."! It Is a "cold" in Its chronic form. Th air is filled with bacteria, which is taken into the mouth and nose through, the process of breathing-. When th body is in a healthy condition no harm' results. But with our modern methods, of indoor living- and sedentary occupations, the mucous membranes are usually not able to "throw-oft" this harmful bacteria, making; catarrh a very common ailment. These g-erms treed and multiply, causing- inflammation, the blood rushes to the membranes' to fight off the bacilli. When the blood is in a vig-orous condition its "defen-1 sive" efforts are successful. Otherwise, the cold "hangs-on" turns into ca-j tarrh. Catarrh is a chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes. Mucous membranes are the lining- on all the internal cavities of the body. Get that, ALL carl ties! There Is the "endless! chain" element of danger.
