RICHMOND EARNS RIGHT TO PLAY IN STATE MEET High Basketball Quintet Will Journey to Bloomington, Friday. By defeating the Giant Manilla basketball team in the final game of the tourney Saturday night, 47 to 12, the Richmond basketball aggregation earned the right to represent this district in the state tournament at Bloomington Friday and Saturday. "On to Bloomington" has been the rry of Richmond high school basketball enthusiasiets and now Richmond has the right of trying for state honors. in the first half of the game, the Manilla five decided that it was out of the question to defeat a team that was as determined to win as was the Richmond five. Wicker, the giant Manilla center, started the scoring with a field goal. Eighteen hundred frantic R. H. S. rooters appealed for a goal by the Richmond five, and finally Van Allen located the basket after about three minutes of play. Stegman then connected for the second basket placing the Richmond men in the lead. Then the Richmond basketball five, passing circle around the Giants, brought the score to 9-2 and then eased up. The Manilla five came back stronger

and made seven more points before The new block formation was attempted and the play of the Manilla basket t-hooters stopped. After that the Manilla five found it very difficult to score owing to its inability to get within easy shooting distance of the basket. Blockade Is Effective When the ball fell in the hands of the Giants. Simmons would cover the center of the floor with Stegman and Van Allen on each side of him guarding the side and Graffis and R. Price under the Manilla goal. Tt was then almost Impossible for the Manilla crew to pass to one of its men who was in the block defense of the Richmond team, and to shoot at the goal was hazardous as it meant the ball would fall into Richmond's hands and be worked down to the Richmond goal again for a possible two point. The first half ended 16-9. In the second half the Manilla team had given up the problem of solving the block formation and only attempted to keep the Richmond team from ruuing up a higher score. Stegman. Simmons, Graffis and Van Allen covered the floor like streaks of lightning, knowing that the ball would be srnt back to the Richmond goal by Trice if Manilla was able to elude them and work It down to its goal. Van Maks Seven. The ball was usually fed to Simmons and Van Allen who made the majority of the goals. Stegman and

Graffis came in for their share of the scoring honors, making four goals each. Van Allen made five out of seven attempts at free throwing. In the last half the Richmond five made thirty-three points to Manilla's three. Wicker was the chief tcorer of the Manilla five, making three Held goals. In the hist few minutes of the last half. Robinson was substituted for Van Allen. Harding for Graffis, and Gardner for Stegman. Coach Rhodes substituted Johns for llutchins and Gardner for Shook. The score: MANILLA. G. F. M. Pts.

In an overtime game at Greensburg

Saturday night the V. M. C. A. basketball quintet defeated the Greensburg five by a 36-30 score.

The game from 6tart to finish was close, first one side scoring, then the

other. Edwards of Greensburg was the star of the game making twenty points for hi team. Parker led the scoring for the Richmond "Y" making eleven points. E. Porter made ten points. Edwards of the Greensburg five started the scoring, making a field which he followed up by a free throw, giving Greensburg the lead by three points. The "V" passing machine then got busy and forged ahead. The team was unable to hold the lead lopg and when the whistle blew the score stood 18-18. The second half started fast. The floor being small the Richmond boys were at a disadvantage but forced the Greensburg five to make long shots. During the entire half it was nip and tuck. When the final whistle blew the score was 30-30 and five minutes overtime was started. The Richmond Y. M. C. A. men were able to hold the Greensburg five scoreless and O'Neal who was ent in by Schwan to take E. Porter's place made three field goals. This is the first game O'Neal has played in for some time.

All District Team. Holaday forward. . .Hagerstown Marlbwe forward Sandusky Wjcker center Manilla Huff guard . . . Fountain City Orr guard Liberty No combination of players who participated in the district basketball tournament fcere Friday and Saturday would be superior to that of the Richmond quintet named above, in the opinion of old basketball men who witnesses all of the games. The Richmond players played such a superior brand of basketball that the team stands out as a star five with the work of no individual member standing out above that of any other. Wrere an all-star team selected from district teams, excluding Richmond, R. H. S. would stand the better show of copping honors if the teams were pitted against each other. The logic of this was seen in the

last game of the tourney when the endurance and passing of the Richmond five had its final test. Out of the whole tourney there was only one real back guard and that back guard was R. Price, the bulwark of the Richmond defensive. Sipce it would be so difficult to choose a district team including the Richmond players "Speedy" Meek3 and Talbert Jessup in choosing the alldistrict five did not include any Rich

mond men. Holaday of Hagerstown was given a place on the first lineup because of his excellent passing and noted ability to make long shots from the center of the floor. He would be a valuable man on any team. Sandusky brought forth another forward that played an excellent brand of basketball. Marlowe was the star of the fast Sandusky five with his fast gain him a first-class berth. Manilla presented another forward in the star class in. its fifteen-year-old wonder. Shook, who was the second best man on the Giant team. C. Gosnell and P. Gosnell showed ability on close shots, Gosnell making fifteen goals in the Fountain City game. Fisher of Cambridge City, would also be a valuable man on any team. Maibaugh of Liberty was fast but was unable to hit the basket. Among the centers, leaving Simmons out of consideration, there was only one and that man was the Stonebraker of the tourney. Wicker of Manilla, six foot and one inch in

height, was easily one of the best centers in the tourney. Although slow moving, he could gain the jump on every center except Simmons who climbed into the air with the sixfooter. Many back guards were presented but the work of Huff, Fountain City's little center, was especially adapted to that position as also his ability to make long shots from the center of the floor. However, the guarding of Orr of Liberty was of the caliber to give him a position on the All-district five. Both Hampton and Thornton of Fountain City were good guards but received too many personals.

Tom Jones, who once managed Jess Willard, still has a high regard for him as a fighter and Jones says that

young Jack Dempsey is overrated and would never have a chance against the champion. "Dempsey wouldn't be able to get close enough to Willard to land an effective blow," says Jonesj "Fulton will make a much better opj ponent for Willard than Dempsey and when Fred and Jess meet it Ehould be a very interesting bout."

When J. C. Smith is unable to play third base for the Boston Braves next season the position way be filled by J. Smith, recently of the Giants and transferred in the Herrog deal.

Fohl is somewhat worried about one position in his infield, that being first base. Since the days of lleorge Stovall this position has caused much worry. Karl Sheely, formerly of Salt Lake City, is now the leading candidate for the place.
