-tN indication of the fierce
n determination of every
team entered to win the
State high school basketball cham
pionship cropped out here today.
The Indiana University Club OF
Indianapolis has offered as a con
ISOLATION prize to defeated players
a block of seats at the Murat
theater for the showing Friday
night of the Jordan River Revue,
Indiana University musical COM
ely.
To date not a single team has
accepted, not even conditionaliy.
The players evidently are not 60
ing to admit in advance any form
of "inferiority complex toward
the State finals to be decided here
Friday and Saturday.
But some of the clubs must
lose. Six teams will have been put
out of the high school champion
ship race by SIS Friday and the
Indiana University Club hopes to
have the honor of entertaining
these regional champs and cheer
ing them up a bit with a good
show.
Our annual admOnitiOn to In
dianapoIis basketball fans is now
in order. BE GOOD HOSTS.
There are three words that say
mOuthful.
1.-THE 1926 Davis Cup draw
II has been made by the
United States Lawn Tennis
Association, with the customary
attendance of foreign diplomats.
Under the rules governing COM
petition for this most coveted OF
all tennis trophies, the defending
American team does not play until
the challenge round.
There are nineteen teams in
the European zone and five,
aside from the United States, III
the American zone. Australia
has not challenged this year, and
France is expected to defeat the
field and pay for the cup at
Forest Hills, against the L. >.
title defenders.
The French team meets Den
mark in the second round of the
European zone, having a bye IN
the first round. If they defeat
the Danes, Mons. Lacoste and his
comrades will play the winner OF
the match between India ana
CZecho- SlOvakia.
The result of the draw prob
ably will be to bring France
against Switzerland in the fourth
round and against Spain or
Great Britain i'm the fifth round.
The winners in the European
zone then will plays against the
winners in the American zone,
probably Japan. The other teams
in the American zone are Canada,
Cuba. Mexico and the Philippine
Islands.
