RICHMOND BASKET FIVE BY 33-13 DEFEAT OF

Bombarding the basket with regularity, passing the ball with a smoothness unseen here previously 'this season, and scrapping from the first whistle to the final gun, the Richmond high school basketball team carried off the district honors at the Coliseum Saturday night, defeating Hagerstown in the final game 33 to 13. Individual stars in the game were lacking, the whole red and white team working together with precision and in unison. Harkins and Rost snared tne scoring nonors, eai-u tuaiaing up seven field goal?, and Harkins adding five free throws to his total. These were the only two men on the Richmond team, to score, all the others being occupied in caring for the elusive representatives from Hagerstown. Haoerstown Works Hard. Hagerstown played a neat game, although it "was clearly evident that Richmond had the better team. Wichterman was the satellite for the visiting team and showed good generalship for his team. Three thousand people packed the coliseum to capacity and another thousand was turned away from the doors before 7 o'clock, every seat and standing room being occupied. True sportsman's rivalry existed between the spectators as each allied himself with one of the two teams which had survived the gruelling two-day test to decide the high school championship of Wayne, Fayette and Union counties. Roaring Applause. Walls of the coliseum shook with the applause of the spectators as the two teams came out for the preliminary practice before the start of the game. Richmond was the first on the floor and was met by the storm of approbation and praise resultant from heir triumph in the previous games U the tournament . . T T ....... .

Yell leaders from the two schools got together and aranged for the entire multitude to rise and give nine "rah's" for Hagerstown and the same 1. ber lor Richmond. 1 ' DisDlay Energy. Roth teams looked tired but with; the first whistle of Referee rainier, they sprang into the game with an energy hitherto held in reserve lor the final struggle which both teams had been expecting. Harkins, Richmond forward, dropped the pellet through the loop alter about two minutes of play and followed this with another soon after. CENTERVILLE DOWN BEFORE WHITEWATER The Whitewater five defeated the Oenterville quintet Saturday morning by the score of 22-7. At the end of the first half Whitewater was leading by the score of 12-2. Centerville seemed to lose interest and I did not play the brand of basketball they are capable of playing. Gray and Browne played the best for the winners, Gray making 12 points and playing a good floor game while Browne's work under the basket featured. Cook played a good floor game f 3i the losers.

WINS DISTRICT MEET HAGERSTOYN QUINTET

Hagerstown put up a game fight and the scores came only after exceedingly fast pass work. The Hagerstown team seemed unable to get together on its team work and as a result could not work the ball within scoring distance. ' Run Up 10 Points. The score mounted to 10 in favor of Richmond before Root, Hagerstown forward, made good on a free trial. Murray followed nrmediately after with a nice field goal. Hagerstown had ill luck in hitting the basket, many of their ehots hitting the ring but rebounding without dropping through. This seemed to dishearten the team which resorted to a defensive game. Richmond closed the first half with a comfortable lead of 17 points, the score being 20 to 3. Hagerstown came hnck with a. rush of rlpsnpration at the beginning of the closing period of the j tournament and played a fast breaking offense. The commanding lead by the local represcirtatives was too much of a handicap, and the continued speed of the Richmond aggregation kept them far in the lead. Game is Clean. The game was clean and both teams showed a commendable brand of sportsmanship. No act of underhand playing was exhibited during the encounter, every man on the two squads showing that they were worthy representatives for the district. Immediately following the game the Richmond high school rooters turned out en masse- for a parade, which extended over the business district and continued until a late hour of the night. Richmond will play Muncie at Blomington in the semi-finals of the state tournament next Saturday at Bloomington at 10 a. m.

CENTERVILLE WHIPS FOUNTAIN CITY FIVE Centerville defeated Fountain City in the last game of the preliminaries by the score of 15-12 after a hard battle. Centerville was the favorite in this game. The much smaller Fountain City lads put up a great fight but their light weight proved too much of a handicap. Fountain City started out with a rush and scored three points before Centerville broke into the score column: The first half ended 7-5 in faor of Fountain City. Huff was tne bright light of the game playing a good defensive game and was the backbone of the Fountain City team. Cook also played a good floor game. , Fisher led in the scoring department with 'Mx points. The line-up.i and score are as follows : Centerville (15) F. City (12) . . . . . Thomas C.

RICHMOND CLIMBS OVER WHITEWATER

Hopes of the strong Wliitewater team for annexing the district basketball gonfalon were dashed by the j Richmond quintet in a well played game Saturday afternoon in the eemifinal round. Richmond left the J floor on the long end of a 27 to 16 t score. j Whitewater had the red and white ; aggregation worried at times during' the" contest by virtue of its long shots which were dropping into the netting ' from difficult angles. Grey and Blose each contributed a couple of these heart breakers, but' these were not sufficient to overcome the rapid pass work and goal caging of Richmond. Rest Leads Attack. Rost led the attack of the local school in goals. He followed in shots with great skill and tipped in several goals as a result of his tactics. Richmond led at the end of the first half 12 to 5. Coach Null allowed his lineup to remain unchanged throughout the game, while Whitewater made numerous changes in an effort to bolster their attack. Richmond entered the finals as a result of their win over the green and white aspirants. The lineup and score follow: Richmond, 27: Whitewater, 16 Harkins f H.

Selecting an all-district team U a j matter of conjecture and opinion and it Is agreed by all critics that no two individuals would agree on the selection of a team. With 125 basketeers to choose from, many of them making their first appearance on a large floor, some playing for only one game if their team is defeated, an infallible all-district quintet is impossible. The selections made by The Pallad ium are the result of a collaboration of opinions of basketball fans wfho have witnessed the present tom-na-tournament. No doubt there are many other good players who are not mentioned, but the system now used for determining the district champion makes it impossible to see all the players under a series of conditions. Three Forwards. In picking Lamb. Wichterman and Harkins we believe we have the three j oest men represented for the rorwara positions. Lemb. no doubt, was the fastest man seen in action in the tourney. Ho plays a wonderful floor game working the ball up the floor in fine style and is the possessor of a wonderful eye for the basket, dropping in goals from the center of the floor as well as from under the basket. Wichterman plays a good steady game at all periods. He has a faculty for being whore he is needed, and pos sesses a good eye for the basket, and is a good, heady basketball player. Although he plays a center position on his tearn, he would make a very valuable forward because of the above points mentioned. Harkins Fast Harkins, p.lthougkh a small man, is fast and covers a wonderful amount of floor. His chalking up of a total of 74 points during the tournament is an enviable record. Sixty lour of his points were the result of field goals. He is a dead shot under the basket QLIVIAIi MUTINY THOUGHT TRIVIAL LIMA, Peru, March 4 Little importance is seen in the mutiny of a regiment of Bolivian soldiers early Thursday morning at Laraz.it was declared here today by Juan Manuel Sainz, Bolivian minister to Peru, who declared the action was not of a political nature. He said the declaration of a state of si-ge in various provinces of Bolivia was merely a precautionary measure. The trouble began where six soldiers were arrested by police at LaPaz shortly after midnight Thursday morning. The company to which the men belonged left its barracks and followed by other units of the garrison at LaPaz marched toward police headquarters. An attack was made upon the police station but the soldiers could not got in. During the disorder persons were killed and a number were injured. The people of LaPaz remained indoors during the fighting. OMAHA HAS HOTTEST DAY FOR MARCH IN 47 YEARS OMAHA. Neb. March 5. Omaha experienced its hottest March day in 47 years Friday. The weather bureau reported it was 80 degrees at 3:30 o'clock, the highest temperature for a March day since the bureau was established. The next highest figure recorded was 79 on March 3, 1905. EVANSVILLE FIRE CAPTAIN. HURT IN FALL, MAY DIE EVANSVILLE. Ir.d., March 5 Richard Witty, ex-assistant fire chief of Evansvilie, who was appointed captain of hose house No. 5 last week, when ! tn double platoon system went into effect, fell through a trap door at the hose house and received injuries which probably will prove fatal.

and dribbles with unusual ability. Kis

position o nthe team is assured. The center position Is without a doubt the easiest position to pick. Peters, the lanky Fairvievr man has the undisputed right to the honor. His strong point is laying under the basket, tipping in goal after goal, as no man is quite tall enough to stop him. Not only does he possess a good eye for the basket, but he can also work the floor in fine style. Hard to Pick Guards. Picking the three guards no doubt is the hardest job to do as some classy guards have come to light in the taurnament. But in Loehr. Ridgeway and Green, we think we have the three best men. Loehr no doubt should be given the floor guard position over Ridgeway, as he is heavier and shows lots of fight. Loehr shows unusual talent at dribbling the ball up the floor, and has a good eye for long shots and is always in the thick of tne right and Is a good, heady player. Ridgeway is given a guard position as he is a good dribbler and possesses a good eye for the basket. The earlv elimination or his team prevented his displaying his ability. He cages goals from the center of the floor as well as under the basket and is a good consistent player. Although his team was defeated in the first game he was the back bone of the team's play. Green Back Guard. The back-guard position undisputedly belongs to Green of the Richmond team, lie is a big heavy man and possesses unusual speed for a man his size. Few forwards have caged short shots when he was under the basket. At picking the ball off the back board he is very good. Second team selections were chosen with care and the men given places on it showed good basketball ability. All the players should be commended for the splendid sportsmanship that has been shown in the tournament thus far, which is pronounced far above the records set in previous meets.
