Foreign drivers threaten to walk
off with the honors in the finals of
the international motorboat regatta
to be staged here this weekend,
particularly if the water on Lake
Worth is rough.
After being hunbled during the
first five days of competition, the
invaders swept all three qualifying
events yesterday.
In the two Glass x cupboard races
Marquis De La Gandara of France
won the first, and Miguel Barella
of Spain took the second.
In the regatta's first tWelve-let-
ter, or gold cup inboard class race,
Italy triumphed when Antonio Bee
chi, former famous automobile rae
ing driver, sent his 500-horse power
Lila T. over the ten-mie course
without being headed.
AS a result, Barella and De La
Gandara will compe e in the final
cupboard races here this weekend
against Horace TenneS of North
western university, and Jean Dupuy
Of France. Becchi will meet other
gold cup qualifiers to be determined
this weekend.

Four sectional centers actually
had a deficit in 1888, according to
the year book of the Indiana High
School Athletic Association.
The l. H. S. A. A, which takes
per cent Of the fifth balance at
each sectional tournament, after
transportation lodging and other
legitimate expenses such as officials,
tickets, ETC., and payments to the
host school have been deducted,
found it's l per cent zero in
thirty-fve sectionals. That is more
than half of the sixty-four sectional
tournaments
1888 Regionals Fall Down
Furthermore, three regional CEN
tiers in 1888 failed to make profit
enough to give the ruling body l
cent of pro-rated revenue.
But this is another year. A. l..
Trester, commissioner Of the I. H.
S. A. A., although not prepared as
yet to give an official accounting,
states information from over the
state indicates gross revenue at the
various sixty-four sectional CenterS
increased from 80 per cent to 70
per cent.
Right here in indianapolis, re-
ceipts at the Technical high school
sectional, March 1, 2 and 3, crossed
$1,000, according to Fred R. Cor
man, Tech athletic manager, 1900
more than last year. Moreover, it
represents the best financial return
in the history of Indianapolis Sec
tionals, including the sO-called
prosperity area OF 1927 1923 and
1929.
Other Prosperity Facts
The regional tournaments last
weekend were continuation Of the
new prosperity story, with sellouts
at Anderson and elsewhere and
profits showing up in all Of the
sixteen centerS.
Perhaps reduced prices helped the
box offices, but the fact still pre-
walls that the sports public is show
ing a disposition to take in high
class attractions, and high school

With such old standby teams as
Martinsville, Anderson, Newcastle,
Kokomo, Frankfort, Marion, Bed
ford, Franklin, Shelbyville, Evans
vile, Vincennes, Washington and
others eliminated from the running
in sectional and regional games,
persons began to fear for the f1nan-
cial success of the final tourney
games this week.
Only Three Decline Quota
Only three of the sixteen regional
winners who are each allowed 200
courtside seats, Princeton, Jasper
and Wabash, failed to take their
quota. Hammond, Tech of Indian
apolis and others wanted more and
bought them.
Only $500 tickets were left for
the general public and these were
placed on sale in the Clark & Son
drug store at noon Wednesday,
When those tickets are gone, all
will be gone, and the decision to
place the unsold tickets not claimed
by schools on sale downtown several
days before the tournament, in
stead of on the morning the tourna-
ment starts at the fieldhOUSe, likely
will bring a SellOut.

ways the stumbling block. Basket
ball fortunes at Ligonier went down
pretty low, until a year ago vic

battled to a % to % win, and met
Beaver Dam in the regional final
game Saturday night.
Through this tilt they battled
uphill most of the way, but finally
eked out a two-point lead with IS
seconds remaining. Then a Beaver
Dam lad swished one for a field
goal and with only 10 seconds of
play left a Ligonier player commit
ted a foul, and Beaver Dam sank
the winning free throw.
Backboard's congratulations to
the Fishermen! And his best hopes
for next year. That's largely a
