Both Gary and south Bend high
school officials have protested TO a.
II. Trester, secretary of the State High
School Athletic association at AleXan-
dria. Ind, the schedule of play at the
sectional tourney at Hammond on
Friday and Saturday.
These two teams are pitted against
each other in the opening game of the
series. but it is not this fact that is
causing the situation. Gilroy of Ham
mond and Metzler of South Bend are
willing and anxious to play each 9TH
er, as both teams have scored victories
over each othe. this year.
il is the inconsistency Of the ar
ranRement Of the schedule that both
managers have protested. The winner
of the opening contest between South
Bend and Gary at $50 p. m. Friday
meets the winner of the Valparaiso
Wheeler contest Saturday afternoon
at 2 y. m. East Chicago and Crown
Point do not play at all Friday, but
hold their initial contest Saturday
morning.
Here Is the Rub.
4 Win mo- of
the East Chicago-CrOwn Point game
Is scheduled 10 play the winner OF the
, o'clock game Saturday afternoon at
= o'clock. As the halves viii last 20
minutes with / 0 minutes out for in
remission. the winner of the o'clock
contest viii have about 10 minutes
In which 10 recuperate before playing
either Crown Point or East Chicago,
both acknowledged hard TO beat.
As il is probable that either South
Bend Of Gary will get into the finals
the protest of the two managers is eN-
d. pected to receive favorable recognl-
ton by the state authorities.
4 plan has been suggested by Coach
Netzler which if adopted would pro
bablv be satisfactory TO every one
concerned. Since the winner OF the
opening game must play at 2 O'Clock
and then again at o'clock MetZler
has suggested that the O'Clock con-
test Toe advanced 10 ABOUT 1V.f' '7tl1-
arday morning after the scheduled
two games have been played. This
will put the teams who compete in
the third round or semi finals, on an
equal footing. as the teams in the one
division must play three games TO
yet into the finals while the other sec
ton entrants have but two rather
easy contests.
Local Fans Confident
Local high school fans are confident
.of securing victories over Gary and
EAST Chicago or Valparaiso, she

piish this feat.
