35-POUND JUNIOR
BASKETBALL TOURNEY
MAY BE STAGED HERE

There is possibility of staging the
l35-pound junior basketball tourna-
ment here on March IL, according to
ager Bill Morrey of the Kewpies. The
meet is scheduled to be played at
Anderson, but the All-Stars Athletic
association has been unable to secure
the Anderson Y M. C. A. to hold the
meet. They are making efforts to OBJ
tain the high school gym there and if
unsuccessful it will no doubt be held
here.
Promoter Moore of the Anderson
tournament stated that if he was I'M
able to obtain the high school gym
he would like to hold it on the Rich
mond floor. Manager Morrey was dis
cussing the possibilities of staging
here with Moore at Muncie Saturday
night during the 125-pound tourney,
and are said to be very favorable with
both men.
If the meet is held here Richmond
fans will have the opportunity of see
ing some of the fastest junior teams in
the state in action against each other
The 135-pound tourney promises to be
the leading junior meet this year, and
approximately 90 to "a teams have an
nounced their intention of entering.
The Vincennes team, champions of the
l25-pound meet have announced that
they will enter the meet.
Manager Morrey will probably know
definitely whether the meet will be
staged here within the next few days.

ACTION ALL THROUGH
EXPECTED IN FISTIC
CARD HERE TUESDAY

The fistic program arranged for the
Eagles club room, South Seventh
street, for Tuesday evening, is one
that on paper looms like card that
should not be lacking In action all
the way through. Eddie McManus,
Dayton bantamweight, and Kid Dali
ton, OF Muncie, have been matched In
the main event of 10 rounds.
While neither of these boys have
ever shown here. Richmond fight fans
know of the ability of Eddie McManus,
having watched him perform many
times in bouts in Dayton. McManus
has always been pitted against the
best talent procurable and he always
gives the spectators a run for the
money
Kid Dalton is a rugged chap who
packs a mean wallop in both hands
Dalton has been at the give and take"
business quite while and Is a scrap
per thoroughly schooled in all depart
ments OF the game. Dalton realizes
that he has whole lot at stake in
this battle, and is determined to come
out on the winning end of his argu-
ment with McManus .
Young Webb, another DAYTON favor
lite, who is also known to local fans,
will show locally when he takes on
Joe Everett of Springfield, in the eight
round semi-fnal. Webb has always
been popular favorite wherever he
has shown and no doubt Richmond
fans will be pulling for him.
Webb gives Everett credit for being
clever artist inside the ropes, but be
lteves that he can give the Spring
field boy as good as is sent Everett
and Webb both are sluggers and no
doubt their engagement will be re-
plete with action.
A six-round bout between Andy Par
ker OF Dayton and local boy will
start the show under way promptly at
$3.50 o'clock. Tickets are now on sale
| at the downtown smokeries.

ECONOMY HIGH five
wins u OUT OF is
CONTESTS IN SEASON
BY RENA MANNING

Little has been known heretofore
concerning the Economy high school
basketeers. Although they have not
been granted any special attention,
they are none the less worthy of hon
orable mention for the high brand of
basketball of which they have shown
themselves capable during the past
season. The team is small and light.
but fast, and all possess a keen eye
for the basket.
Out of 16 games Economy has lost
but four. The last defeat was at Bos-
ton last Friday night when Economy's
former overwhelming victory over the
Boston five probably gave her too
much confidence, and helped in caus-
ing her defeat with a score of % to 80.
The week previous, Economy showed
Centervllie fast game when the lat
ter were the winners by only three
points. With the exception of the other
TWO defeats, which were lost on the
Hagerstown floor to Hagerstown and
FOUNTAIN City, Economy has proven
ferseIf much stronger than her CD
ponents by a majority of overwhelm-
ing scores. ---
Fisher is the star forward, having
scored as high as 80 points for his
team IN one game. He was also plac-
ed on the star team at the Hagerstown
nvltauonal tourney. Lundy follows
close behind Fisher with record of
no small merit.
Jordan has proved himself a cap
able center
Outstanding guardwork is done by
f. Cain and Elliott The former is
especially reliable, and both can be
trusted to display really brilliant
brand of guarding in any game.
The remainder of the squad consists
OF Beard, Weyl and H. Cain, the lat
ter being replaced by Oler because OF
Illness They are all merited sub
stitutes
Several of last seasons men are vet
on the team, and will be remembered
Tor the brand of game displayed at the
district tourney last March when they
defeated the fast 'Connersville five.
Coach Outland has been a valuable
factor in the success of the Economy
team.

At END OF 93RD lap

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Feb. 27-The

WRITER DESCRIBES
PURDUE'S TACTICS
By II. X. REID

Purdue universitys' basketball team,
winners of the Big Ten championship,
exhibited the reason for its nigh
standing in the Indiana game at La
fayette last Saturday night. The
writer witnessed the Hoosier classic.
The conference champions are an
altogether different lot of basketball
players than is usually seen on the
average college basketball team. Their
stye of play is the sort that complete
ly sweeps opponents Off their bear
ings.
Purdue took the floor against Indi-
ana at Lafayette Saturday night a
great favorite to win, but the majority
of fans present thought that the game
would be battle from the start. Few
gave Purdue the advantage of five
points However, when the two teams
took the floor and their practice was
scrutiniZed, it was plain to see that
Purdue had the edge by 10 points.
They won the game by an 11-point
margin, 90 to g..
Opening the game, the Old Gold and
Black five took the offensive with a
rush. -Purdue's offense is a big fea-
ture OF the wonderful play of the five.
When breaking down on offense,
the Purdue five has every man side
stepping, turning, and coming in criss-
cross formation to meet the man with
the ball. Every man is making moves
to get a pass from the man with the
ball, and when the ball is passed, it is
sent fast over the heads of all the
playe.; and it is up to the Purdue man
to jump into the air and bat the ball
accurately to the man who passed the
ball. The Purdue five is master OF
this play and seldom did it fail to get
down the floor.
Holwerda is a clever little guard
and he fills the shoes of White with
out any trouble.
All in all, Purdue's team is real
championship outfit, and shows the
marks of expert training and coaching

PETER HALEY!


Few present day fight fans recog-
nize the name-unless they happen to
live in the east But Haley. star
featherweight fighter in his day. is
shining now as referee.
Haley began his boxing career in
Buffalo % years ago at the age OF II.
He was born in Newmarket, n. H. He
fought first as an amateur. Then turn
ing professional he made his debut
against one Jimmy Denver in one of
the preliminary bouts to battle in
which the famous Frank Erne fought.
Haley's twenty-round draw with the
famous Oscar Gardner in 1898 Nprob-
ably was his greatest battle.
One thing that is remembered about
Haley is that he always acted as his
own manager. And the fact that he
fought all the good men of his day in
his class and climbed into the ring at
frequent intervals showed that he
didn't need one very badly.
He's one of the few remaining lumi-
naries that link the old ring days with
the present.

Slavs and one Italian. This. unbal-

WEDNESDAY MAY Be
LAST CHANCE TO See
KEWPIES IN ACTION

Probably the last chance to get to
see the Camera Shop Kewpies will be
afforded local fans Wednesday night,
when the lads stack up against the
fast New Madison five on the Coliseum
floor in the main go of the evening
New Madison is the only team this
season to take the number of the
Kewps and they are coming here pre-
pared to repeat their victory. This
game no doubt will prove a thriller
from the very start until the final
whistle has been blown.
The Kewpies are still suffering from
the defeat handed them by the Ohio
ans and promise to send the New
Madison boys back to Ohio with a
taste of real Indiana basketball in their
systems, and expect to hand them one
of the worse defeats they have receiv-
ed this season.
Practices will be held Monday and
Tuesday night by the Kewpies and
they expect to be in first-class condi-
ton by Wednesday night.
Trying New Combination
Several new combinations are be-
ing tried out, as it is possible that
H. Monger, regular Backyard, will
not be able to participate in any more
of the Kewpies' games this season. 1t
is possible that Retz will be used in
the stationary guard position or the
team may shift to playing a five-man
offensive game, as Retz and Lehman
will make a nice pair of guards to
work together. o. Monger and Graf
ifs will work at the forward positions
and Sauter at center.
The first game Of the evening will
be played between the Richmond di-
vision Pennsy team and either the di-
vision team from Columbus, Cincin-
natl or Logansport. The Pennsy man
agement is trying to book the Column
bus division team here for that night,
but if unsuccessful will book either of
the other teams. The first game will
start promptly at 1880 o'clock.
