Franklin Athletes
Display Great Form
to Win Basket Title
WagRer'S Men Take Final
Game, 81 to I3-Jef De-
serUes Much Credit.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. March 13.-The
Franklin High school basket quintet de-
feated Jefferson of Lafayette, 81 to 10,
here Saturday night, In a contest that
was virtually decided after the first five
minutes Of play, to cop the state high
school basketball championship for 1920.
For several weeks the dopesters through
out Hoosierdom have been telling how
the Franklin lads were going to do
It" and they certainly played up to
snuff in every scrap. The new champs
were given their stiffest opposition In
their semi final contest in which they
defeated Anderson, II to 10, in an over
time game, the most exciting affair OF
the tourney Jefferson also played great
basketball throughout the meet, going
into the finals by defeating Hartford
City, 81 to 16.
1t was only during the first two min
utes of play that the fans had any
doubt about who was going TO take
home the bacon During this time the
athletes travelled fast and fought like
so many gladiators Vandiver started
Franklin on the scoring path with free
throw, less thaH a minute after the open
ing whistle sounded Jefferson, however
shot into the lead few seconds later
when Grove got all the benefits of two
chances from the foul line. Vandiver
knotted the count for Franklin on an
other free throw and later Gagged one
which gave the Franklin squad lead
that was never lost. The jefferson de-
Tense broke just before the initial stanza
closed and Franklin was quick TO take
advantage of the fact. piling up points
for 17toS lead at the close Of the
initial period.

Tournament Statistics

An analysis of the STORY of the Tour
n4ment in Figures" on this page reveals
some interesting facts. Perhaps the out
standing point is the wonderful scoring
record of Franklin, the new state champ.
The Johnson county prides piled up
total OF 146 points in their five games,
or an average of over IS points per
game. While the Franklinites were
stacking up this goodly number OF points
their opponents got but so, an average of
u per game
The team holding Franklin to the clos.
est score was Anderson, which was beat
en- II to IL in the semi finals in the only
overtime game of the meet.
No team drawing a bye reached the
semi finals, which cleared up what might
have been a pretty fair foundation for
alibis or criticism, on account OF the
clumsy schedule.
There were 994 points scored at the
state meet, in % games, or an average
of about 40 points per game.
The following tabulatiOn shows games
points scored, points scored by opponents
and number OF points scored over or less

DebS Trim FernddLes
in Final Contest of
Their Annual Series
Green and White Win Hot
Scrap, Is to I3-Get City
Trophy.

The Debonairs took the rubber con-
test in their annual three game series
with the Ferndales, 16 to 10, Saturday
night at the "Y'' gym before a packed
house composed of loyal supporters of
the two rival quints. While the game
was extremely fast and each point des-
perately fought for, tho contest was I'M
usually clean and was a credit to the
good sportsmanship of the players.
Etris, the rangY. Deb" center was
closely guarded most of the time. but
managed to break through for three
field markers. to which he added two
foul goals as high point man of the
game. Shaffer shot in two pretty ring
ers for the ''Debs." while Wertz ac-
counted for seven of the thirteen points
the Ferndales piled up.
The victory Of the Debonairs was
perhaps due to the close guarding style
OF play they adopted They were right
on top of the man with the ball all the
time and, although 1t looked at times
unwise for them to bunch up as they
did. yet 1t generally resulted in their
gaining the ball in Ferndale territory.
Before the game the Debonairs were
presented with a beautiful silver cup by
the park board in recognition of their
winning the city championship. Bronze
medals were also given to each of the
