The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-02-16

ROM the Frankfort H1gn
II School annual, The Cauldron.
we CLEAN the following:
"T. H. S. did not until this year
adopt basketball as form of ath-
letics, and hence the students are
not warmed up to the possibilities
of the game as they should be.
I'VE admit that from the view
point Of other schools we did not
put UP much Of game, but from
our own viewpoint, when We con-
slider the fact that we did not have
a good gym that the game was
new to the fellows and hence had
to be learned from the beginning,
that we were unable to secure the
best material because Of delinquent
cies, we think we have had fairly
good season
Although the loss of Ticen, Sheri-
cen and Derrick will be keenly felt,
we are hopeful for great and sue
cessfuI season next year"
The personnel Of the team: Sheri-
dan and C. Sheets, forwards; Ander-
son and Eaggard, center; Ticen and
r. Sheets, guards; Cave and Holland,
substitutions.
You have no doubt guessed by
this ,tirne that this was not last
years annual, but was the issue OF
1912, back in the days when Frank
fort was but STRIPPING when 1t
came to basketball
Nktartling changes come about as
&Yther Time rambles right along.
Back in 1912, Frankfort had a foot
ball team and John Redmon, who
later starred with Indiana Uni
versity and is now athletic coach at
Peru dnd) High School, is reported
so have made a sensational run in
a game against Noblesville with
five men hanging on
Just what will the next fourteen
years bring? VIII basketball still be
king of high school sports or win
some game little known now ascend
the throne and some team almost
unheard Of WELD tine scepter? Moth
ing is permanent In this life.
Wen, the Riviera street car
conductors can go ahead now
and hold their mass meeting to
discuss tho strike situation
They postponed the gathering ON
account Of the excitement of the
LengIen- Wills tennis match. The
Americans win be walking any
way. q
f=1HE other day we spoke of
Ill Franklin College not hav-
- ing to worry a great deal
about the years to come on the
basketball court If it's freshmen re-
manned in school The same may
be said Of Wabash The Scarlet
first year METERS looked good Mon
day night In their game at Frank
lin
The starting lineup included
Ehornburg Of Muncie and Bowen
- Ligonier, forwards; HARRISON of
Russellville, center; Adams OF An
derson, and Taylor Of Muncie,
guards. Fix of SheIbyville also
played at floor guard Bayer Of
Linton at center and Henderson OF
Hillsboro at forward
Others ON the trip were
Brooks Of Louisville, Oren OF
Stoneycreek and Fisher of Mgo-
nier. Brooks is the brother OF
the Wisconsin University basket
ball captain. 1t just naturally
runs in the family. The Badger
leader and brother went to
Male High School, Louisville.
Adams WAS a Dead-eye Dick
Monday night on side shots at the
net. He appears to have plenty OF
natural ability. Thornburg, we'll
remembered In high school basket
ball. still can dribble. Fix also is
a fine dribbler.
Taylor. also of Muncie, is
husky chap, who handles himself
well at back guard. He Is plenty
tough, but not a bit awkward with
his strength. He needs a little
more n0lSnbs
Bowen at forward and HARRISON
at center handled the ball well.
Bayer, big blond youth, appeared
to be a fighter and is likely to be
heard from in future years.
Freshmen teams always are
interesting. They arouse SO
much speculation as one looks
into the future and estimates
the possibilities of the youths.
some of them win fall back as
the competition grows keen
n while others will thrive on it.
- Some Of those Wabash and
Franklin boys will meet each
other on the varsity in seasons to
come. Just which ones it is hard
to say. Something inside one man
takes him to the top while
another with equal ability does
not make the grade.
