Indiana high school basketball
fans today were wondering what
happened over the State in games
played Friday night for, unusual as
it seems. the waters in the dope
bucket were hardly rippled and only
in one or two instances did the old
bucket tip.
Martinsville and Frankfort, the
two outstanding contenders for the
State title, ran true to form, with
Marion furnishing the only major
upset by handing defeat to the
strong Kokomo five.

It is slightly loose.
we have heard OF teams fox
ing" opponents by letting some
of the air out Of ball. There are
tricks in all trades.
In the Big Ten conference there
is a rule which states that the
bali must be blown to an air
pressure of thirteen pounds.
The latest thing in athletic
paraphernalia is an air gauge for
basketballs. 1t can be set at the
pressure desired and the ball can
be blown only to that mark. The
air is pumped through the gauge
into the ball.

U. tonight. Harker, back guard,
who dropped in three two-pointers
against De PAW Friday night,

gan basketball game last
week. A Purple player standing
out of bounds under Northwestern
basket threw the ball in and 1t
caught in the hanging net. The
meshes whipped the ball upward
and the ball fell into the basket.
The referee did not allow the
goal. Why not? The official might
have thought the ball went up
through the bottom Of the basket
and then dropped through. In
such case the goal, Of course,
would not count.
Otherwise we see no reason why
1t would not have scored two
points for Michigan. The player
who threw the ball, according to
accounts, said the ball went
through from the top. 1t should
have counted.

fellow is going in better style right
now than his brother Mack ever
showed. Willie rode only one
winner Friday at the Fairgrounds
track but he was on three others
that finished second. He is getting
quite a following at the southern
course.
nIf Indiana U. basketballers

second half tonight at Iowa they
should win. The Crimson play
ers have failed to maintain tine
mace in some contests. That was
the reason for the Wisconsin de-
feat. $50
DARTMOUTH football play

Friday with snow foot
