T~7OMEWHERE in this old
Hoosier commonwealth the
next State champion basket
ball team is starting practice. May
be the lads are beginning their
work in one Of the large, fine
gyms erected in the last few years.
And, again, they may be shoot
ing at a couple of barrel hoops out
in the school yard or skinning
their shins in a tiny two-byfour
basement way out in the "sticks,"
little dreaming Of the long, hard
road over which they will travel
to that final hectic hour at "the
State" which ends with volley
of shots from the timekeeper'
revolver signifying that they have
made the grade.
Somewhere this next State
championship team is practicing,
but it would be just plain dumb to
Aattempt to say where.
Charlie Shine, local taxi
driver-pugilist, is displaying
another evidence of his athletic
versatility this fall by indulging
in the grid sport. The k. o.
specialist is making a good
showing in the line of the j. j.
G. eleven, which is holding forth
Sunday afternoons at Pennsy
Park. The cap of the uniform
Shine wears while doing his taxi
stuff bears the legend yellow"
but opponents both in the ring
and on the grid are ready to at
test that the headgear is the
only thing about Charlie
suggestive of that color.
7ARL CALLAHAN Of the
IL Em-Roe company reports
a call for soccer football
shoes for women. The University
of Illinois is trying to introduce
this sport for women students, and
the first obstacle encountered was
lack of cleated shoes designed for
the feminine foot. One representa-
tive of Illinois who came TO Indian
apolis made the rounds Of local
agencies and reports that evident
ly there "ain't so SIGH animal"
The manufacturers Of sports
goods generally keep up with or a
little ahead of all the new wrinkles
but this latest demand has caught
Them mapping.
One never knows what the girls
will do next, so the manufac-
turers might just as well
3get busy making shoulder
pads for fair shoulders and head
gear for bobbed heads, as the
ladies' already have ventured on
various occasions into the regula-
ton grid game, the erstwhile "he-
man" sport. Well, bless 'em, it's
all right with us.
