INTEREST IN SPORTS SHOWED GRATIFYING GROWTH LAST YEAR Sports of all kinds advanced by leaps and bounds all over the country
during 1920. Every branch brought forth some new mark to shoot at, and fans have contributed a support hitherto unthought of. Champions have been made and unmade much to the pleasure of the American fan, who seems to have a grudge' against any one holding a monopoly on championship laurels. . Locally sports bid fair to stage a comeback within the next year that will put Richmond on the map as the seat of some of the best athletic clubs in the state. . Earlbam college athletics undoubtedly led this community with crack teams under the leadership of Coach Mowe. Last season the Earlham basketbal lteam was claimant to the I. C. A. L. championship crown, along with Wabash and Franklin, all of whom won the same number of games and each having scored a victory over the other. Quakers Win. The Quaker track team copped first place by a wide margin In the I. C. A. L- track meet, finished third in the
state meet, and Captain Charles Ivey
brought the Earlham colors to the front when he tied for first place in the high Jump at the conference meet at Ann Arbor. Mich., last spring. The football team this season was better than that of former years, and, although tackling the hardest sched
ule attempted for several years, won
half their games. Present basketball outlooks for 1921
give the local college team a good
loek-in on some high state honors.
.They have already played some of the
s fast teams of the state and held their own. The future schedule for the sea-
eon has the fastest teams in the state
carded and local fans can expect the best basketball ever seen in Richmond.
High School Record.
Richmond high schools seems to be on the road to fast recovery of its .former athletic prestige, which has been sadly on the decline for the past three years. The Red and White is now under the leadership of Coach
Null, an experienced director who will
likely put the high school here in
shape to hold its own against other
schools of the state.
Last year's basketball team was of mediocre ability and school authori
ties saw that something must be done to bring about, a rejuvenation of in
terest in physical education.
, The past football season was rather
disastrous, due partly to "the inexpert
ence of the men and unfavorable training conditions. The team got together during the latter part of the
season and was a creditable organiza tion. Basketball Progress
. Basketball at the high school is.
picking up momentum as the season
"progresses. Only two games have
been played thus far. which makes it a little difficult to judge the success, fpf the coming season. One thing is 'certain, and that is that the team developed thus far this season is a much better five than took the floor last year.
to take the field during the past year is the American Legion. This club of ex-service men is coming to the front with great rapidity, and prospects are that it will stand out as one of the strongest athletic clubs of the state within a short time. The local organization fs recognized as the strongest and best organized of any legion in the state. This is due large ly to Dr. George Hunt, who has served as commander during the past year. He states that he expects his boys to continue the policy in 1921 that has placed them among the leaders in 1920. Legion Football , The Harry Ray post put a football team in the state race made up of all Richmond men, not a professional being found in the lineup. 'This team went up against teams of the strongest type and held its own. In a game on Armistice Day they defeated the Greenwood post of Indianapolis, which gave them a claim to second place among the legion football teams of the state. Basketball was started by the local post and a team far superior to any independent organization that has represented, this city for years is now In the field, composed of men who are all membeis of the American Legion here. This team is out after the state championship for American Legion posts, and when the state tournament is pulled off in Indianapolis in the spring there seems to be little doubt but that the Richmond team will have to be reckoned with when the championship is decided. Old Stars on Team. The basketball team is composed of virtually all old high stars. They ere taking the game seriously and their recent games are indicative that they have the right calibre for a first class Quintet. The Eagle's baseball team amused the diamond followers during the sum
mer, n was a creaitaoie organization with a large following. Virtually all their games were played in Richmand and the style of play gave them a reputation which enabled them to schedule some of the fast teams of the state for games. If a league team is not put in Richmond next summer, the Eagles will take care of that form of amusement in great style, without doubt. Suburban Sport. One of the most gratifying boosts to sports around Richmond is the great interest being taken by smaller towns in this community in basketball this season. A Suburban basketball league has been formed in which Is incorporated many of the strong Independent teams of this section. Many others are in the field. Campbellstown, Boston. Lynn, Fountain City, Cambridge City, the Richmond K.. of C, New Madison, Eaton. New Paris, Economy, Centerville, Hagerstown, Whitewater, Winchester and Williamsburg are all represented by one or more fast organibations, which stage some good games for tbeir followers.
