TT HERE viii be no need to
wear your skid chains this
year at the, final high
school basketball tourney at the
Exposition building, State fair
ground. The standing room plat
form is a thing Of the past.
Bleachers will be built at both
ends Of the playing court.
But you better get your tickets
ahead Of time. 1t is the intention
of the local committee to sell the
capacity Of the building, $4,000, be-
fore the opening day if it is
possible.
There will be only two kinds OF
tickets, day and night. There will
be no season or single game
tickets. A ticket for Friday and
Saturday cost 81 each. The night
session ducats will sell for so cents
and will not be placed on sale
until p. m. OF each day.
Those holding the daily tickets
may see all of the contests includ-
ing the night sessions for one
buck each day. Pass-out checks
win be issued. The building, how
ever, will not be cleared at any
time.
1t might be a good thing to jot
down in your notebook the date OF
March s. That's when tickets go
on sale. They will be available
q the local high schools and at
DOWNTOWN sporting goods stores.
Simon P. Roache of Shortridge is
directly in charge of the dis
tribuion.
In the latest bulletin Of the
Indiana High School Athletic
Association the date of the sec
tional track meets is set on May
Is. The centers have not as yet
been selected. The'flnaI meet viii
be held on May 20 at Indianapo-
lis.
Fl INDIANA and Purdue are
much obliged to Chicago
for upsetting the Ohio
State basketeers. The defeat put
the Hoosiers in a tie with the
Buckeyes for third place.
From all accounts the Chicago
upset was a thriller. After Ohio
had led for the entire game, Hoer-
ger Of the Maroons, who usually
confines his activities to defense,
suddenly broke loose with three
field goals in the last minutes to
snatch the contest away by one
point.
Wisconsin Is leading the pack
now, but Purdue plays the Bad
gers two games and I. u. takes
them on at Bloomington. No doubt
Coach Meauwell Of the northern
team thinks often Of those COM
ing battles.
And speaking Of upsets. II Iowa
can defeat the Crimson tonight at
Bloomington, we give up. Indiana
Mould most certainly down the
Hawks and advance a notch into
a tie for second place with
Michigan.
Some time ago this column had
something to say about high
school coaches substituting their
second teams for the varsity"
In certain games, thereby disap-
pointing fans and players of the
opposing schools. The I. III. S.
A. A. board recommends that all
contracts henceforth carry the
ranking Of the teams, as first,
second, etc.
H7 LARGE crowd Is expected
~ at the meeting OF the IN
LII dianapolis Amateur Base
ball Association Wednesday night
in the council chambers at the city
hall, 1880. Copies of the 1925
rules will be distributed. There
has been a revision of some of the
regulations.
John Dugan Of Cincinnati win
be present and speak on activities
Of the National Amateur Baseball
Federation. Harry Geisel. Ameri-
can League umpire, also will give
a talk.
Invitations have been sent to
Mayor Duvall and officials of the
Indians. 1t looks like real meet
ing, with much of interest included
for the local amateurs.
Two girl high school basket
\ ball players have been declared
u ineligible. Woman has at last
reached the exact status Of man.
1t Is feared that the ladies', In
copying some of the opposite
-sex's ways, are not showing dis
elimination. They are picking
up some of the vices along with
the virtues.
1FTER being out Of the city
IA on Saturday we got into
town about midnight. Com
ing down the street we met
Jake the newsboy. He wondered
IL we knew how Bloomington and
Marion came out" in their bas-
ketball game. Jake just couldn't
believe his ears when he called
up a newspaper and was told that
Bloomington won, 81 to 10. He
was laughing about it--"Some mis-
take, somewhere"
