Basketball Now Helping COL
IegeS of Middle West Over
Financial Hurdles.

BB United Press
CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Basketball
has won the undisputed title of
Second college sport" so far as the
Middle Western universities are con-
cerned.
While rowing and hockey are so
popular among the eastern colleges
more important than basketball, the
Middle West has favored the cage
game more and more each year I'M
til now it comes second only to foot
ball in interest.
Whereas a few years ago basket
ball was a losing" game from the
financial standpoint, it is now a
moneymaker and is more than able
to stand on it's own feet.
Basketball receipts at some OF the
Big Ten institutions are being added
to the football fund to pay the
losses involved In baseball, track
athletics, wrestling and intramural
sports.
Statistics show that 5000 fans
will have attended the sixty games
on the regular Bigs Ten schedule and
that more than 1000 witnessed the
games preliminary to the regular
conference race. This makes an
average Of more than 5000 specta-
tprs per game and the proceeds have
far surpassed the expenditures.
The fact remains that most of the
conference games are "sell-outs" and
that many thousand fans are dis
appointed because they cannot get
tickets. Several Of the universities
are planning new field houses with
special accommodations to seat
10000 to $4,000 spectators.

By VEDDER g ARD
Observation-Disclosures

~7OME of these days we are
81 going to see a college
freshmen basketball team
that doesn't look good. But prob
ably it won't be in Indiana
There are too many good high
school METERS entering the in
stitutions of higher learning and
higher sport activities.
Out at~~Butler Thursday night
the Blue and White yearlings
showed plenty Of class in down
ing the Franklin first year
snipers. Little White OF Moore
land was ION" He is another
Chadd in floor work and seems to
have even a better eye for the
net. (This probably will make
Chadd so sore he'll get half a
dozen two-pointers in the Franklin
and Wabash games).
White lost a tooth in the
fracas anyway it was knocked
out, although not LOST. The
MooreIand youth picked it up
and gave it to Coach HinlIle for
safe keeping. The little accident
did not affect his playing, how
ever. He kept right on rambling.
Chandler, former Technical play
err, started at the other forward
and proved a shifty, clever per-
former. He is rather slight of
build but the coaches say he can
stand the bumps. Horton of Mon
rovia Jumped center. He is a steady
player who knows the game.
Coach Curtis of Monrovia, the
team that just won the Tri-State
championship at Cincinnati for
the second straight time, was on
hand to see his protege perform.
There are a couple other Morrovia
boys on the freshmen squad who
did not get into the fray Thursday.
Red Fromuth of TT. Wayne
played floor guard. He is not
as good on the hardwood as on
the gridiron, but is of the type
that will develop. Bill Bugg of
cambridge, as broad as house,
was at back guard. He is plenty
tough even if he did get knocked
cuckoo on one occasion the other
night. He just "shook it off"
and was rarin' to go in a minute
or two.
Malone of Manual and Reach of
Seymour, also got into the battle.
It is said the 'frosh'' give the
varsity some merry tussles, and
the way they played Thursday one
can easily see how such things
are entirely possible,
They do teach 'em to guard out
there at Irvington. The fresh
men have the same smothering
tactics used so successfully by
the varsity.

VYlINCENNES finally is going
" to have a new gym. A hold
II ing company has been or
gained in Alice-toWp and a huge
100000 coliseum is to be built adj
jacent to the present gymnasium.
There is a big lot right next door
to the junior high school which is
centrally located and offers an
ideal site for the new structure.
The building which will seat 5000
will be completed for next seasons
games.
Some of the live wires at Vim
cennes have been working on the
idea for some time and things at
last have come to a head. Ar
rangements shave been made for
floating a loan of 100000 by the
four building and loan associa-
tions of the city. Articles Of in
corporation of the holding COM
pany were forwarded to the sec
rotary of State, Thursday.
Coach Adams well deserves a
suitable floor for his teams which
are consistently strong each year.
The present playing floor is small
and balcony juts out on each
corner. Not only Vincennes will
welcome the news, but other
schools as we'll.
The Alices sure are tough on
their own small floor. They know
every angle and hit the basket
with deadly accuracy. Which is all
perfectly o. K.
However, with a larger playing
space, opponents will not be handi-
capped by unusual conditions.
Coach Adams also welcomes the
change because his team will not
be forced to practice on a small
floor and then in way-from-hcme
contests get out into what looks
like the wide open spaces to the
Alices.

matches of the days play and it
was likely that the three visitors
will be eliminated from the singles
competition.
Richards-La COSte
Vincent Richards, olympic singles
champion and the third ranking
American star, was to play the first
match against Rene La Coste, last
years Wimbledon champion. Rich
ards and La Coste, both youngsters
are generally regarded to be the
successors to William T. Tilden if
the worlds champion should retire.
Richards defeated La Coste here
last summer and he was the faVorite
to win today as La Coste does not
know as much about the indoor
game as Richards does and he has
been having difficulty figuring the
lights. All the players, however,
have, been complaining about the
lighting conditions resulting from
fog and clouds of soft coal smoke.
Tilden Should Win
Bill Tilden, who is playing real
championship tennis, ought to defeat
Jean Borotra as easily as he chooses.
Borotra gave the champion a fright
last summer but Tilden was trifling
a bit and he will not be caught again.
Jacques Brugnon, manager Of the
French team, has more Of a chance
to get into the semi-final round
Saturday than either La Coste OF
Borotra. He was to play Frank
Hunter.
