PARIS. March 19.-Instead of be-

Sikh in Dublin and Skis loss of his
titles to Mike McTigue, Georges Car
pentier is rather inclined to lament
the decision because he doesn't think
EIcTigue really won.

representative Of lie Journal, that I
should be elated by the decision. But
I am not. As a sportnlan I am I'M
able to comprehend the decision.
Georges craftsmanship recently IS
serted itself when he evaded an agree
nent to fight Sikh for charity. which
fact is recalled with regret by his
friends who now believe that he
could have given Sikh a terrific beat
ing in a return bout.
The press comments here on the

pentier is still the best light heavy

the title and his performance was
mediocre. We cannot say whether

he meet by defeating Anderson in
the second of the seminal games.
The game at p. m., Saturday, was
wonderful, contest, with Anderson
only TWO points behind when the gun
was fired.
II was another disappointment for
the Anderson fans who have seen
their big strong teams come to the
tourney year after year only to be de-
feated in heart-treaking battles. Not
that Vincennes did not deserve to win
that Anderson game--if any team de
served a victory the Alices did that
one. It was by n wonderful squirt

Even when the southern team looked
worst on the attack the defense was
alright The team seemed to have
some difficulty throughout the meet
In finding the net This was exactly
opposite to their performance through
out the season. Wolfe and Harper
are marvelously accurate from the
corners Of the court. but at the Coli
scum only occasionally showed flashes
OF what they did all season.
Vincennes won the tourney because
robody could stop Jones coming down
the floor and passing to his mates or
getting the ball of the back board
and because opponents did not take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to score
when Jones was down the floor. Be
cause of the superb defense Of the en-
fire team and because despite a slight
reversal in form. the Vincennes team
has tho best sharpshooters in Indiana
on the angle shots from the corners
Of the court.

VTNCENNES, March 19.-The
crown of victory rested lightly
on the heads Of Vincennes High
School basketball players today
while they partook OF the fatted
calf.
Nothing was too good for the
boys who went down 10 Indian
apOlis and galIoped home with
the Indiana high school basket
BAN championship.
The whole community did hon
or to the team. The celebration
was equal to that OF Armistice
day. Farmers from miles around
fivvered into town and business
was at a standstin.
This city and Knox County
went wild with Joy when the
word was flashed over special
wires that Vincennes had de-
feated Muncie in the final game
of the State high school basket
ball tournament at Indianapolis
and by virtue of the victory won
the Indiana championship. A
band and a delegation Of business
men met the team and Coach
John Adams when they arrived
back In town yesterday.
The team had gone through
the entire basketball season with
only one defeat and plOwed
through the cream of $50 other
teams in the Indianapolis tour
