in Second Session
BrOWn Leads Butler attack
With II POintS-StrOhL
Stars for Franklin.

FRANKLIN, Ind, March Franklin
athletes wrecked the perfect I. c. A L.
standing of the Butler College basketeers
when they defeated the Bulldogs, 81 to
q, in a bitter struggle her last night.
Franklin was trailing IA to 9, at the
half, but they came back with a world
of fight in the second session and threw
the visitors to the short end Of the score.
In the first half the long goal shoot
ing Of Hooker and Leslie was the fea-
ture, and for time it looked as though
Butler had the game in the old vic
tory bag In the final half. however,
Coach Thurber's team came back and
displayed a brand of basket ball that the
Butler defense was unable to stop. The
majority Of the Franklin shots were ia
ken from under the basket, after some
clever passing.
The most sensational goal was scored
by Graham, Franklin center who, with
a Butler guard on him, made a One-hand
whip shot from the corner of the floor
that hit squarely in the hoop.
The big factor in the Franklin win was
the play Of stroll, Franklin guard. His
defensive work, d-ibbling and passing,
was more than the indianapolis athletes
We're able to account for. Stroll fed the
ball well TO Graham and Rich, who did
the heavy scoring for Franklin.
After the first session. Hooker and
Leslie were kept under q heavy guard and
were unable TO break through for any
thing ike a decent shot
At one time during the second period
Franklin held a nine-point lead but the
foul shooting Of Brown, Butler floor
guard, narrowed this margin. Brown, In
cidentally, was the high point man fol-
Butler, getting fifteen foul goals out OF
eighteen chances. He also Gagged one
field goal.
The game OF times was rough. but Ref
cree Head and Umpire Craigle mastered
the ceremony in fine style

Special to The Times.

GREEESBURG, Ind, March 2.-At q
meeting Of the State executive committee
of the American Legion in Indianapolis,
the Fourth Congressional district was Sc

and attempt to pick the probable winner
of the tourney.
Basing all calculations on the popular
conception that Manual and Tech have
the strongest five entered in the meet, 1t
might be well to look over the drawing
and see just what kind of shedding the
two local rivals will be subjected to In
order to gain the coveted honor. At first

the teams that must be overcome, has the
stinest schedule in the tourney, but when
It is considered that the Green and White
