The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-03-01


not much difference in the strength
of the two all7star combinations.
Naturally, some good men had to
\ be relegated to the second selec-
tons.
Lentz of the Indianapolis RAM
bIers was chosen as the most val
liable to his team and was pre-
scented with silver loving cup.
Although rather slight in stature,
Spider" was a power at back
guard, very few under-the-basket
shots being made on him. And
he was more than a good me-
chanical performer.
His spirit was superb. He bat
tied until he was ready to drop.
All of the Ramblers deserve much
credit as far as that goes. They
rose to great heights to reach the
finals. They were the dark horses
of the meet and it was the fight
ing hearts Of the whole gang that
kept them in the running.
On the morning Of the final day
the local club defeated Huntington
in a third round contest in an
overtime game. In the semi-f1nals
they beat Yorktown, a club COM
posed of former Anderson High
School stars, by a wonderful dis
play of basket shooting in the sec
ond half.
Caskey, a Rambler substitute,
proved one of the surprises of
the meet by his accurate goal
sniping. He got his chance and
made the most of it.
1t is said that Phillips worked
between games on Saturday.
There's a little sermon in that for
some Of the tempermental ath-
letes we know.
Following the semi final game
with Yorktown, Captain Huesing
! Of the Ramblers collapsed, but he
] was in there again IN the cham
pionship contest Saturday night.
The final game was really an
Indianapolis affair, as most Of
the Brownsburg squad also are
residents of this city. KelIyr-HhO
played center for the new
champs, but was placed at for
ward berth on the aIItourney Sc
lections, is brother of Mike
Kelly, manager of the Spartan
burg baseball club in the South
Atlantic League. Young Joe
proved one of the scoring aces of
the meet.
INDIANA University basket
ball team holds the high
- scoring record for a single
game in the Big Ten. That Al
points totaled against Minnesota Is
the best of the season so far. I. U.
scored 80 points against North
western in previous contest.
The Crimson should not have a
great deal Of trouble with the Pur-
pie at Bloomington on Tuesday
night.
Purdue seems to have a good
chance to beat Illinois tonight at
Lafayette. The Boilermakers are
plenty tough on their home floor,
Wouldn't it be nice looking Big
Ten standing If Purdue and Indi-
ana could be up there at the top
when the season closes!
We understand Butler is to have
its stadium at Fairview in 1927.
Now the question is, will the
school have a coach? A new
/ stadium always needs a good
coach. Many seats must be filled;
many bills paid. 1t takes a win
ner to do those things.
TIN Saturday night Notre
Ii Dame basketball team
VI made it seventeen out of
eighteen starts by defeating
Franklin, 40 to 10. The size Of the
score is rather startling, but the
hardwood sport is a rather pecu-
liar pastime. When a team get on
the run the points roll up fast.
The Baptists appear to be
through" They were very dis
appointed set Of players when
F'riddle was declared ineligible,
but carried on" Defeats by But
Ter and De PAW, however, have
taken the Zest out of things and
Coach Wagner's absence natural
ly has a depressing influence on
the club
Griz is a part Of the ma
chine as well as the actual
players. When some of the cogs
are missing the power is not
there. Wabash, very likely will
defeat the Baptists at Crawfords-
vile on Wednesday.
An this IS not meant to detract
from Notre Danes record, which
IS one of which to be proud. 1t
Is to be regretted that only two
State teams have been played.
Wabash was defeated twice.
Franklin won at Franklin but was
defeated on Saturday at South
Bend.
The most noteworthy achieve
ments of the Irish" were
against Big Ten teams. On the
list of victims are Iowa, North
western, twice; Minnesota and
Illinois, present Western Confer
ence leaders.
We have not seen Notre Dame
this year, but from information OBJ
tanned from many who have, the
club IS very powerful on the at
tack with two fine guards in Dab
man and Conroy. There is no
