Pinch Hitting During Illness Of
vERN BOxELL.

HEADLINES tell us of a slight
II stir in the states legislature
where two senator's have intro
duced bills seeking to wrest the
controlling power of high school
athletics from the I. II. S. A. A.
And of all the absurd measures
ever placed before a legislative
body it seems to me that those two
proposals rank at the top.
Our legislators should have enough
worry over tax problems and the
like without meddling into athletics
The Indiana High School Athletic As
ISOLATION is a necessary factor in this
state. / hope you and never see the
day that politicians win have their
hands on the reins Of high school sport
q
One Of the measures has been intro
duced by Jeffersonville attorney and /,
has all ten earmarks of being nothing less
than a reprisal more to appease the wrath
of Jeffersonville voters. incensed by the
suspension of the school team earlier this
week.
BASKETBALL in Indiana is pat
ID termed somewhat after organ
lied baseball. In baseball, Commits
sioner Kenesaw Mountain Lands is
tine power. The game MUST be
played on the level. And 1t is.
Indiana basketball is ruled by
board of control, headed by Com
missioner Arthur L. Trester, eff
cient. fair and trustworthy, despite
all the howls and groans of sus-
pended schools and penalized
coaches and officials.
I never have heard of any sus-
pended school or player ever hav-
ing sufficient ground to base q
claim of being framed" or rail
roaded." When the 1. H. S. A. A.
hands down decision you can bet
it's a fair and honest ruling.
y
The legislators may stand ont and
blast away at the 1. H. S. A. A. and
laud the merits of their proposals to
pace the control Of athletics in the
hands of the state board Of education.
Down TO brass tacks-they're putting
it into the hands OF politicians.
Do your stuff on taxes, dear SEN
ators and representatives, and stay
away from high school sport. Ii
needs no help.

Bad Conduct.

my Loughran, former worlds light
heavyweight boxing champion, and
his manager, Joe Smith, were sus-
pended, indefinitely, by the Penn
sylvania state athletic commission
today. The suspensions, handed
down for conduct detrimental to
the sport, were a result Of an alter
cation after Loughran's bout with
Jack Gross on Monday night.

fed in the dressing rooms after the
bout which Referee Frank Floyd
declared to have been a draw. The

POLICE CUSTOM
DISCARDED

A custom of II years which
has become something of a tradi-
ton in the Metropolitan Police
Department was broken today
with the abolition of morning
roll call at the detective bureau.
Beginning this evening, roll call
will be held at headquarters at
$50 p. m. in keeping with re-
organization plans of Brig. Gen.
Pelham D. Glassford, superinten-
dent of police.
The usual hustle and hustle Of
the SIS detectives assigned to po-
lice headquarters was lacking to-
day. This morning 19 of the men
took up their assignments to the
IL precincts to which they had
been detailed in keeping with new
plans.
General Glassford said elimina-
ton of the morning roll call will
give the men more time for their
duties.
Early morning roll call, old
heads of the department said, has
been the order of things since
September, 1851, when the depart
ment was organized.
