Enthusiasm is running high at the
local high school over the outcome of
the district tournament to be held
here next Friday and Saturday in the
Coliseum and extensive preparations
are being prepared at the high school.
A special pep session was held in
the high school Tuesday and interest
ing talks were given by Coach Move
of Earlham, Principal Bate, Mr.. Neff
and Coach Null. The program open
cd with the band giving a few selec-
tons.
Coach Move gave very interesting
talk on the !. II. S. A. A. and stated
that Indiana had the best organized
nigh school athletics in the United
States more especially in basketball.
illinois and Iowa are we'll ORGANIZED
but not as well as the Indiana high
school, he added. He said that it was
not only up to the management of the
tourney to make it success but up
to every student in the school to do
his part as well.
Urges Sportmanship.
Coach Move emphasized the fact
that the I. H. S. A. A. was based upon
the principle of good craftsmanship
and it was up to the high school to
carry out this principle. He warned
against such things as critizing the
players on the floor and Raging the
referee. He urged the students to
help them out and if there is any COM
plant to be made let the coaches and
the officials make them. The little
things are what count and if you take
care of the little things the big things
will take care of themselves, Move de-
clared
In finishing his talk Coach Move
said that he hoped the best team
would win the district meet and that
he hoped that Richmond was the best
team in the district and would win
by fair play.
To Sell Refreshments.
Principal Bate of the high school an
nounced that the Camp Fire girls
would sell refreshments such as can
dy, peanuts, popcorn, etc, during all
the games. They will sell a program
score card upon which the scores of
all the games can be kept. The price
of these score cards will be five cents.
The girls of the high school have
requested that the boys sit in one sec
ton and the girls in another section
as they think they can root better and
make more noise without the stronger
sex in their midst. This no doubt,
will cause some rivalry between the
boys and girls, and some lively COM
petition is promised in the roofing de-
nartment.
Richmond Responsible.
Mr.. Bate stated that Richmond
would carry the responsibility of the
craftsmanship of the tourney, as they
will have about one-half or more of
the spectators at the games. A limit
ed number of season tickets have been
placed on sale and check will be
made Thursday night from all the
ticket sellers SO as to see just how
many single admission tickets can be
sold at the door The season ticket
holders will get the preference in get
ting in for the final games and no
more tickets will be sold than the
Coliseum will hold.
Due to the fact that the hotels are
very busy at this time the high school
was limited to how many teams they
could send to the hotels. A call was
sent out to the homes for places to
house the teams which met with ready
response. A card of thanks will be
sent to all the homes for the offers.
The season tickets will sell for 1.50
