CRACK BASKETBALL
TEAM IS PROMISED
BYLEGION SCRAPPERS

Advance dope on the American
Legion basketball team seems to indi-
cate that the Richmond post will have
one of the strongest fives of any post
in the state. Not only will it be better
than the majority of Legion teams but
it should hold its own against any
independent organization that it goes
Up against.
The team will be part of the state
athletic organization which is pro-
noting athletics in Legion posts. The
American Legion has an organization
very similar to that of the Indiana
high school league.
Plans from the state headquarters
are that district tournaments be held
il the 13 districts of the state to de-
termine the winners to go to the final
meet which will be held in Indianapol-
is the early part of March.
This is aimed to stimulate interest
in the net game generally and in each
legion post particularly. According to
local officials virtually every post in
the state is putting some kind Of
team in the field.
Promise Classy Five.
The personnel of the local team
guarantees that Richmond will be rep
resented by a first class quintet The
team as now made up consists of
Porter and O'Neile, forwards; Sim
mons. center; Mcbride and Berstch,
guards. All of these men are exper-
fenced in the net tickling game and
have played independent and high
school ball for several years
Porter, ONeile, Simmons and Nc
pyIa r1a ;al~,~ i
high school teams. Berstch is an old
Centerville star and is regarded as a
wonder in the back-guard position.
With all of these men working to-
gether there seems to be little doubt
Iut that they will give any team run
for their money.
Seek Championship.
The final championship of the legion
teams of the state is the ultimate goal
of the locals and all of them are said
to be in strict training to get in condi-
ton to play the best games of their
career.
DR.. George Hunt, commander of the
Harry Ray post of the American
Legion here. is back of the team and
he states that all the members of the
legion are pulling for their team to
make good showing.
AS special attraction TO the games
that will be played in Richmond the
American Legion band will give a con-
cert with each game. This will afford
an added attraction for the admission
price of one good basketball game.
Defeat Winchester.
The Legion team pried off the lid
of it's season with the game against
Winchesters Phi Delts Wednesday
night. This was thought hard game
for the locals because of the fact that
the Winchester team had not been de-
feated this season. The local legion
team turned the trick by comfortable
margin.
Muncie Y. NJ c. A. will be the first
opponent for the local five when they
stack up on the coliseum floor here
next Wednesday night. The Muncie
team is touted as being a crack or
ganization and the locals will have
their hands full to get away with the
long end of the score. Tickets for
this game will be placed on sale in
the cigar stores downtown and by
members of the legion. If this game
proves to be a success attractions of
like calibre will be given throughout
the winter

Whitewater SWhMPS

WHITEWATER, Ind, Dec. 11-New
Madison high school proved to be
easy for Whitewater high school vars
ity basketballe-s here last night, 60
ing down in defeat by the score of 81
to IS. The champion team hailing
from the Ohio school was unable to
cope with the situation and the game
was never in doubt at any time for the
locals. The crack squad representing
Whitewater, with Blose and the reg
ular lineup back in the game, played
rings around the visitors at all stages
of the game.
Blose started the scoring for White
water and Hunt, followed with two
long ones from center Bennett led
the scoring for New Madison. The
half ended Is to 6.
The Whitewater lads rushed things
to the limit during the last half max
ing goal after goal from all angles of
the floor pilling up 36 points. New
Madison used all the new men avail
able in a vain attempt to stop the on
slaught of Whitewater but it could not
be done. Hunt led the scoring max
ing Is points. Every man on the
Whitewater squad scored.
Girls Team Loses.

LYNN INDEPENDENTS
DEFEAT CAMBRIDGE

CAMBRIDGE CITY. Ind, Dec IL
The Lynn Independents demonstrated
some real basketball when they
romped away from the Cambridge
City Independents here Friday night
20 to IS. The game was a fast exhibit
tion and at times got into the rough
stages, however. this was partly due
to the speed of the contest.
Spillers, for Lynn. was a wizard at
hitting the goal and chalked up Is of
his teams points. His playing was
nothing short of spectacular. Every
man on both teams managed to chalk
up at least one goal.
Cambridge City was doped to win
the game but the speed of the visitors
was emit rely unexpected. Diffendyer
showed up we'll for the locals at floor
guard but seemed to be off his stride
in hitting the goals.
Lynn has the fastest independent
club that the locals have faced this
season and their team work ard
shooting show they have gone at the
same in a systematic manner. The
score follows:
