CITY MAKES
BID FOR new
TOURNEY OF
THE DISTRICT

Richmond, with the best basketball
floor and auditorium in the new dis.
trict, and with best facilities for team
transportation, will make an early and
determined bid for the Fourth Cen
ter" In the annual state high school
basketball lists to be held in five cities
of the state March 8 and 10. The
finals, March Is and II will be held
at Bloomington as usual
The innovation of Secretary Trester
means the elimination of the smaller
district tourney and the inauguration
of new series of five-pre-state tourna-
mente which will be CORRESPONDENCE
more important than the district tour
neys of last year. To land the Fourth
Center" is the aim of Richmond high
school, the logical host for the East
and Central Indiana division
Several Cities Eligible.
Cities eligible for the local tourney
are Columbus, Lawrenceburg, Green's
burg, Muncie, Connersville, Brook
vile, Greenfield, New Castle, Portland,
Madison, Vernon, Franklin, Anderson,
Rising Sun, Winchester, Versailles,
Rushville, Shelbyville, Vevay, Liberty
and Richmond
OF the lot but three cities-Mun.
Gle. New Castle and Richmond have
buildings suited for the event. The
Richmond Coliseum is the biggest bas-
ket ball auditorium in the section. The
New Castle and Muncie Coliseums
have large floors but havent's the seat.
ing capacity. Anderson, one of the
larger cities in the section, has good
floor but no facilities for handling
crowd.
With the goods to offer, Richmond
high school sees no reason why the big
tournament should not be staged at
Richmond March 9 and 10.
Practically all the $4,000 tons of
paper manufactured daily in this coun-
try is made from wood pulp.
