Although Shaughnessy has not
had any written communications,
there is no doubt but that he has
talked unofficially to Indiana
alumni at Chicago. The alumni
themselves can do nothing Off
cially, but they can pull the
strings.
RumOrs have it that Athletic
Director Clevenger has been
standing up" for Ingram, but
the Crimson grid coach is re-
ported as saying after the pres
ent season that he was through.
SO there you are.
We simply must keep you in
formed about Kid Chissell. He has
got around to the Golden Gate 50
far and is headed for Portland,
Ore, and Seattle, Wash, before
making the jump to Australia on
the s. S. Herman Frasch. He must
be real sailor by this time, as
he talks about laying anchor"
To land-lubber that sorta smells
like tar.
Some people get all the
breaks" For instance, there is
ski tournament at Grand
Beach, Mich, on Sunday-and
the weatherman dishes out snow
in quantity.
lid you notice the scores run
I'D up by some of the good high
IL school fives of this State
Friday? The way some Of the boys
hit that net is really remarkable.
Think of it--sixty six points for
" lncie against Shortridge.
counted S. against
Franklin; Kokomo stepped on Lo-
gansport, 4S to 25; Frankfort ran
up 54 points to Lebanon's 5S.
Those four leading clubs in Hoo
sierdom scored between them 223
points.
That's an average Of 55% points
apiece-more than a point a min
ute OFFENSE seems to be the
word on Indiana basketball courts.
There were many other huge
counts on Friday night besides
those we mentioned.
1.-THE last doubt has been
removed. The high school
basketball sectional meet
for this district and the final
tournament viii be played in the
Exposition Bldg, State fair
ground. A contract was signed
ON Friday with the State Board
OF Agriculture with the local
schools. A rental of $1,000 viii
be charged and the schools will
provide light, gas, hest, water
and janitOr service.
Athletic Directors German Of
Technical, Bannen of Manual,
Roache OF Shortridge and Am
norman Of Broad Ripple are in
charge Of all arrangements.
lust how much does the
~I home floor mean to a bas-
A-J ketball team? If Butler
played Illinois or Iowa at the State
Playground court right now, the To-
Gals probably would be made the
although they werc
bsed out in early season games at
Iowa City and Urbana.
Notre Dame won all but one of
its seven straight victories On the
new South Bend court. Franklin
was very much at home Friday
night and defeated the Irish"
OF course, Fuzzy Vandivier ac-
counted for eleven points, but the
home floor helped.
Butler probably will have much
tougher shedding when the Irving
ton club plays it's return contest
in Johnson County.
The advantage is partly psychic
logical, no doubt, and partly the
familiarity to conditions. The
home floor edge Is more noticeable
in basketball than any other sport.

Secretary A. l.. Treeter Of the
Indiana High School Athletic AS
sOciatiOn was at the dedication
Of the Washington gym Friday
night. He came back on a late
train from Vincennes to Indian
apolis. Here's what we want to
know. How can big fellow like
that sleep in one Of those durn
pullman berths? He must stick
his feet out the window.
r. TlINCENNE,S is up to It's old
w tricks. They have the
49, swish" habit down there.
In other words, the net players are
dropping them through without
worrying about the blackboard.
The "Alices' have a small team
this year, with the exception of the
Back guard, but are Fast and have
|the pivot down to a fine point.
Bedford could not keep up with
them Friday night, and the long
swish" shots finally took the heart
out OF the Stone City outfit.
