IWI have a new gymnasium.
~ Back in the good old days
that town boosted Of some wonder
full teams, including State cham
pions. They played in a gym
about tn esize Of box car.
Coach Goldsberry Of Shortridge
played at Wingate before he went
to Wabash. He can tell some great
stories about that two-by four floor
with it's ceiling just above the bas-
ket.
Goldsberry used to make baskets
by banking the ball off the walls.
Snake" as he was known in
those days, used to practice the
stunt with a place marked on the
wall with chalk.
What they did to visiting teams
in that little room was terrible.
If everybody didn't make at least
half a dozen baskets it was con-
sidered a night miss-spent. Them
days is gone forever"
We told you about Chadd, the
little tad, many months ago. We
asked you to remember that
chunky Butler basketball player.
Kindly take a look at what the
sophomore net performer did
Tuesday night at Muncie. He
made six field goals in the Mum
Gle Normal contest. That's all.
@7OME things the Chicago
- Post said about Merle Alte
in his fight with Ray
Rychell last week:
Few fighters who have come this
way In recent years made quite the
hit that one Merle Alte did at East
Chicago. Acting as one of Jim Null
lens last minute boys. he stole the
show as they say over the foot
lights hardly had the boys
finishing shaking hands before he
started popping with his right hand
and he had his opponent on the floor
listening to Referee McVeys count
1.-THE fans took Alte's end right off
the reel. Referee Mcvey lost favor
with some because he did not insist
that Rychell get back to a neutral cor
ner in the fifth when he knocked the
visitor down.
Anyway. 1t was q real old-time
sugging match Fellows like
Nate Lewis and DR.. OConnell said 1t
was the best they had ever seen.
Matchmaker Jim Mullen announced
that he would give Alte chance to
fight at his next show with proper
time to train.
although beaten Alte came out
with the lions share of the honors.
He lost. was badly beaten but in los
ing he raised many a bump on
Rychelps head. That kid hits like a
mule kicks. and the next time he
comes back he can be expected to
pack them in
That a boy, Merle. We always
said when 1t came to a fighting
heart-an actual love of the thud
Of the gloves-you had the edge
on boys around here. We give you
credit for not sulking in the East
Chicago bout after going up there
twenty-four hours notice.
You didn't bemoan the lack OF
time to prepare for the battle, but
waded in and fought. Don't for a
minute think you lost prestige in
that defeat. Every time you hit
Rychell you also made hit with
the fans-and the promoters. In
most any game it pays to give
your best.
Nurmi, the great Finn runner,
is to return to the United States
in 1927, according to reports from
his native land. Paavo had bet
ter not wait too long. There is
ond old gentleman that beats the
best athletes. His name is Fa-
ther Time.
There is plenty of dope to stir,
but the space is SO limited today
because of the all-State high school
football selections that we'll take
a vacation and not fill up this col
