GlDduIG Oh VlncenneS put up a
great battle against the Wanted
Jasper team in the last game of the
Friday night program and had the
large crowd on its feet throughout.
Jasper won the decision, 35 to 80.
Vincennes Battles
The Vincennes boys stayed right
with the Academy cagers through
out the first quarter, but when Os-
car Aubin, the all-America forward,
came into the fray near the close
of the first half, he spirited his
mates to 14-9 lead.
With Berger, the big Jasper CEN
ter, looping them through, it APP
peared the Jasper boys would make
it rout, but near the end of the
fray, Vincennes rallied and, led by
Conrad and De Lisle, pulled up to
within striking distance. Then De
LiSle went out on fouls and Aubin
pushed in a couple that gave the
Jasper boys an edge before he re-
tired from the fray. Berger scored
eight field baskets and four foul
line attempts for a 2O-point total.
The expected strength of Ham
mond failed to materialize and
Central Of FIT. Wayne appeared SUI
perior throughout, winning "a to II.
Herr and Liable scored three field
baskets apiece and the Central boys
coasted through the fray, leading
1875 at the half.
Jasper was forced again to call
upon their captain, Oscar Aubin,

Basketball
by DICK MILLER

excitement ran at a feVeriSh
pitch throughout the HooSier king
dom of basketball today as the IN
diana High School Athletic Asso-
citation announced schedule draw
ingS for the twenty-f1rst annual
sectional, regional and final tourna-
ment play, which will occupy the
next three week-ends beginning Fri
day and Saturday, March and 5.
"A. l.. TreSter, commissioner, and
the board of control, who drew the
schedules before an audience Of
newspaper and press association
representatives in the association
offices in Circle Tower late Friday,
announced that n teams will take
part in this years event. This is an
increase of one over last year, when
1865 teams engaged in the classic.
The sectional tournaments will
find 8,204 boys in action, each team
being allowed to use twelve boys this
year instead of ten, the limit last
year.
There will be 153 referees and
umpires handling the play in the
Sixty-four Sectionals, according to
Trester, with thirty-two handling
the regional play and five the state
final classic, making a total of 100
officials.
Eight entries which would have
made this years field far Surpass
the 766 of last year were rejected.
The eight who got their blank in
too late were: Fremont of Angola
center, Morgan township of Valpa-
raise center, Rolling Prairie of La
Porte center, Tippecanoe of Culver
center, West Baden of Paoli center,
Millersburg of Evansville center,
Clay township of Peru center and
Sugar Ridge of Brazil center.
Coming alphabetically at the
head of the list, the Anderson Sec
tional was drawn first. With a
representative from Alexandria on
hand, the sectional was completed
in rapid fashion. 1t disclosed that
Anderson was to be the first team
drawn from the hat and Alexandria
the third, which meant to that in
quiring gentleman that Anderson
and Alexandria will tangle in the
semi-f1nalS on Saturday afternoon.
The inquiring gentleman left for
home satisfied and determined to
tell the folks back home that every
thing was above board.
Anderson was the first of several
home center teams to find them
selves coming out of the hat in
the number position. Harrison
Township drew Muncie for it's first
round opponent for the second sue
ceSsive year.
Technical of Indianapolis meets
its bitter city rival, Shortridge, in
the second game of the local Sec
tional tournament next Friday
morning.
Much interest was attached to the
drawing of the regional play, where
many of the top title contenders VIII
pass from the picture. When the
Indianapolis regional was drawn,
Anderson came out in No. / posi-
ton and the local sectional winner
in No. 2. The winners at these two
centers viii meet in the first re-
gional game at Tech gym Saturday,
March II, at 2 p. m.

other two games tonight, Chicago
plays at Ohio State, Michigan at
Iowa.
The Badgers home floor advant-
age is not believed great enough to
offset the scoring ability of Johnny
Wooden, all-America guard now
leading the conference in individual
honors, and his teammates, Eddy

Four Minnesota players will make
there final appearances on the home
floor tonight in the game with
Illinois, which seeks to supplant the
Gophers in third place.
Ohio State hopes to break the
"jinx' which gave Chicago their
first victory of the season, against
the Buckeyes last week. State, play
ing on its own floor, is favored.
Iowa will attempt to stop Mich
igan'S scoring ace, Captain Norman
Daniels, now third in individual
honors. Michigan, with four losses,
is out of the title running.

OuG"e4gueO twenty pOunoS, con-
ceding Shaaf height, reach and
every other physical advantage,
Stribling made one of the gameSt
stands of his long and checkered
career, numbering some $50 battles.
Stribling, who weighed r 1873, was
beaten by a wider margin in ten
rounds, and still on his feet, than
he was by Max Schmeling when
their title bout was stopped in the
fifteenth round at Cleveland last
July and awarded to the German
on a technical knockout.
Strib Down in Fourth
Schaaf dropped Stribling with a
series of short rights to the head,
and left the Georgian sitting in the
ring bewildered and glass-eyed just
as the bell ended the fourth round.
Stribling sat there more than ten
seconds, while his handlers were
negligent in rushing to his aid.
Coming out for the fifth round.
Stribling, still showing the effects
of the jolts he had taken around
his head in the previous round,
made a courageous but desperate
rally, which momentarily turned the
tide back in his favor. 1t was the
Georgian's final bid for victory.
Through the last five rounds
Schaaf slowly cut the handsome
southern boys face to pieces and
beat him in every conceivable way.
The big protege of Jack Sharkey
actually did a more thorough job
than did Schmeling last summer,
and in lot less time.
w. L. in Hospital
After the bout, Stribling was
taken to a hospital where he had
four stitches taken in a cut under
his right eye and three stitches
taken in a wound under his left
eye. Both eyes were swollen almost
shut. His lips were bruised and
cut, and he was a pitiful looking
figure. He wasn't marked about
the face after his defeat by Schmel-
ing.
During the ninth round, Schaaf
opened up a terrific drum fire of
fists and had the Georgia boy reel
ing unable to defend himself. The
crowd reluctant to see the Slaught-
er, yelled for Referee Dave Barry
to stop the fight. When Barry
looked at Stribling, the Georgian
shook his head and muttered: I'm
all right Stribling was gushing
blood from the cut under his right
eye, bleeding from mouth and nose
and too weak to hold Schaaf in a
clinch. Only the southerner's stout
heart carried him through the
blistering battle.
Battles After Bell
At the end of the sixth round,
Schaaf hit Stribling with a left
hook after the bell rang and had
to be led to his corner by the ref
cree. Again in the seventh round,
Schaaf kept punching after the
bell and was grabbed by the ref
cree.
Stribling started strong, winning
two of the first three rounds, using
an effective left jab and landing
several hooks which Jared up the
BoStonian. The knockdown in the
fourth round marked the turning
point of the battle. From then on
Stribling fought On his courage
alone.
Sharkey seconded Schaaf, and
gave him most of his instructions
between rounds. Jack Dempsey at
tended but left after Stribling was

NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-It's a 5 to
l bet that the worlds indoor record
for 1900 meters will be broken by
Gene Venzke tonight in the annual
knights of Columbus games at
Madison Square Garden.
Venzke, the 4:10 miller from Boy
ertown, Pa, requested that officials
OF the meet substitute the 1900
meter event for the usual mile so
that he could try for new record
in the distance. The long-legged
Pensylvanian wants to beat Lloyd
Hahn's 1900 record of 1858, and,
at the same time, test himself in
this event of olympicS proportions.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The Ma
tional Boxing Association has ex-
tended Max Something's time limit
to defend his heavyweight title to

Seventeen of the thirty-two mem

cate the title. Under N. B. A. rules,
every champion is supposed to de-
fend his title at least once every six
