Everything is thought to be In
readiness for the opening toss-up Of
little round basketball at o'clock
Friday morning at the Exposition
building, Indiana State Playground
which will officially start the sixteen
annual State high school tourna
ment.
Two laps of the greatest basketball
tournament elimination tourney in
the world already have been played
From an original starting field of 73l
teams the list has dwindled down to
a scant sixteen, one OF whom will
remain on top of the throne Satur'
day night. Thirteen thousand peo'
pie will be on hand at each perform
ance to watch the gladiators in the
final hardwood struggles.
The final o. X. was expected to be
put on the arena today. Police
Chief Claude r. Johnson, Fire Chief
Jesse A. Hutsell and Major of Police
Lewis l.. Johnson were to visit the
huge indoor stadium, the home of a
million splinters, and look it over.

Sharp, general manager.
The State High School Athletic
Association and A. L. Trester and
his Board of Control supervise al
the works., however.
When it comes to telling German
zimmerman and Roache about this
tournament proposition one is strik
ing hard job. They have beer
running the affair for years. But
you can tell them it is not the proper
kind of building for a gymnasium
and they admit it.
No Pass.Out Checks
These are a few Of the things that
are going to be done at the tourna
ment that have not been done in the
past:
There will be no pass-out checks
While session of games are going
on no one will be permitted to leave
the building and pass back in with
out a ticket except in an emergency
zimmerman stated that he personally
will take care of any emergency.

The Capitol No. League pro-

first was the LAO game Of the EN-
Roe team rolled in their first game
and the 761 game of the Silver
Flash. The LAO is new high game
for the loop and the ISL is low.
There is strong suspicion that
the Silver Flash are a bunch OF

with 700 they came back with an
LOO.
The Em-Roes with 1902 for their
three games secured on counts OF
LAO, 1881 and 920. Six games
were better than 1000 and two Of
these over the LOO mark.

Catupult Airplanes

To save time, it is suggested that
Atlantic liners approaching their ports
should discharge small airplanes laden
with specially urgent mails and par.
cells, or, in exceptional cases. even
passengers. It has already been proved
that airplanes can be launched from
the confined decks of ships by the
catapult system.
1t has been shown that airplanes
with no human being on board can be
propelled on to objects thirty-five
miles distant and it is expected that
this range will shortly be increased
to one hundred miles.
