European Entries Are Expected for
 Indianapolis Race

Indianapolis, January 2.-(SpeciaL)- Three European nations will be repre- sented in the ninth annual 500-mie in- ternational sweepstakes race on the In- disnapolis motor speedway, May 90. French, British and Italian cars will compete for the $50,000 purse and an equal amount of accessory awards.
 France has been represented in every race by foreign drivers and cars from across the water. since 1913, except the war years of 1915 and 1916. England has not started q car in the races since the war and Italy has been absent from the Hoosier classic since the fleet of Isottas raced in 1915
 Much interest of the fans will be cen tered in the Italian delegation. Accord ing to information received here from w. ir Bradley, the European represen- tative of the speedway, the Fiat, is fin ally going to send over q team of three cars. Louis Wagner who won the first American grahd prize at Savannah in 1908, is expected to captain the team, al- though Fiat has not announced it's driv- CTS or formally entered. A decade ago the Italian car was more feared than any racing outfit. rivalling the German Benz for supremacy in America It's last appearance in the local classic was in 1912 when Teddy Tetzlaff finished sec ond to Joe Dawson's National.
 SEVEN TRI-COLOR ENTRIES
 The tri-color will flutter from the hell nets of at least seven drivers piloting three Peugeots and four Ballots. The Peugeot is said to have some new 1S3 inch cars with Jules Goux as team cap tain. While no overtures have been made to Howard Wilcox, the Indian apolis boy who won with this make in 1919, it is expected that he will have one of the trio The Ballot "eght-in-line'' team will number four. It has been Eounced that Ralph DePalma and Jean Chassag gne will have two of these cars, but the other members have not been selected.
 The British entry will be the Sunbeam, the factory which has tried since 1913 to win the 50-mile race. Dario Resta, 1916 Indianapolis winner and American champion, and Andre Boillot will drive two of the three new Sunbeams de- signed by Louis Coatalen. It is possible that the third Sunbeam may. fall to Rene Thomas, the 1914 winner. If it does not it will be because France will have another team in the race, with Thomas at the helm.
 It is also reported on the other side that Jean Porporato has been busy this winter putting the power plants of the Gregoires, which were entered last year, in new and lighter chasses and that the Italian will be back battling for the winners purse on Memorial Day.

CHS MA Y |1A VE ASSOCIATE -
PLANS FOR STATE. HIGH SCHOOL CAGE.
 MEET BEING MADE.

Plans for the Alabama high school basketball tournament this spring are fast maturing. During the past week Clarence McEachin, chairman of the basketball committee at the B. A. C., and W. H. Hutsell, director of ath- letics, have Asent circulars explaining the meet to the different high schools over the state.
 It is thought by Athletic club of ficials that this tournament will be a success. It will be staged during the latter part of February, when most of the state schools are closing out their basketball schedules
 Following Is the circular sent out in part explaining the tournament:
 At the close of each interscholastic basketball season there is much dis cussion carried on through the news papers as to which team among the high schools Is entitled to the state championship. and inasmuch as it is impossible to play the old time round robin this question has usual ly been decided Tn the past by com parative scores.
 This coveted championship should, never be awarded in this manner, and
 
 Athletic club to make strong efforts to bring the representative teams among the high schools together, in actual competition, at the close of this sea- son.
 We will place all of the facilities of our club at the disposal of the high schools of the state, as we are not only interested in the award of the championship by an elimination tour nament but also greatly interested in the building up of the great game of basketball. We are therefore writ ing to secure an expression from you Tn this connection, as the question as to whether or not this tournament will he held depends upon the interest shown by, and the cooperation of, the high schools of the state.
 Our plan is to extend an invitation to every high school in the state to enter this tournament, which is to be neid at the Birmingham Athletic club on February 24, 25 and 25. No insti- tution shall be eligible to enter a team that has a classification higher than that of high school Eight play CTS will constitute team, and the principal or other constituted authority must submit list of such players on regular entry blank which will be fur nlshed, and vouch for their eligibility and their standing as amateurs. No player who has reached his twenty first birthday shall be eligible.
 Amateur Athletic union rules to govern. Order in which teams shali play shall be decided by lot, draw ing to be made by basketball commit tee In sufficient time to prepare schedule Of play. The most competent officials will be obtained in order that the most capable and best coaef ed team may win and not the rolIphest
