TOR three years Big Bill Carpen-
l. ter has been a football star in
Brazil high school, and during those
years he has aspired~ without much
success, to extend his proves to
basketball. Bills just sub on the
Brazil net squad.
Saturday night Brazil was play
ing Reitz in Evansville. With less
than minute to go Brazil led by
single point. Then an Evansville
basketeer Topped a field goal, and
it looked like Evansville's game. In
desperation, Coach Babe Wheeler
motioned to Bill to go in at center.
While he reported to the scorer the
man he was to replace walked off
the floor.
The officials couldn't hear the
scorers whistles above the din in
the gymnasium, and the referee
tossed up the ball at center with
only four Brazil men on the floor.
The scorers fired gun to halt the
game for the substitution. The
crowd, thinking the game was over,
rushed the doors. But there were
still a few seconds to play Car
penter got the tipoff and his team
mate, Whitman, fired and missed.
Reitz took the ball off the back
board, but lost it Immediately for
travelling. Carpenter took the pass
from out court, realized there
wasn't much time to work the ball
down the floor, shot, and hit for
the winning points as the gun
barked to end the tilt.
1t was worth spending three years
on the bench, in Bills opinion, just
to get that one shot at the hoop.
Il u
TIVE sectional tournament in
L Tech gym will begin Thursday
night, March 1, instead of Friday
morning, March 2. Three first round
games will be played Thursday
night, three other tits for Friday
the final f1rst-round games
and the first quarter-final contest
Friday afternoon, and the three re-
naming quarter-finals Friday night.
The seni-finals will be played Sat-
urday afternoon, and the final game
will be staged, as usual, Saturday
night.
The information as Blackboard
put it out isn't strictly official, but
he is informed reliably that this
program will be announced shortly.
MOREOVER. Mr. Ihsaa very
4V1 soon, Blackboard has learned,
will issue bulletin to sectional
centers extending permission for
three-day sectional meets where so
many teams are entered as to re-
quire the two finalists to play three
games on the last day of the
tourney.
Originally, Mr.. Ihsaa intended to
extend this privilege only to Sec
tionals having sixteen or more
teams entered. Such ruling would
apply to the Angola, Gary, Indian
apolis, New Albany and Winchester
sectionals. Blackboard believes Mr..
Ihsaa may include some other Sec
tionals, probably those at: Bluffton,
with fifteen teams; Brazil, thir-
teen; Connersville, fifteen; Evans
vile, thirteen; Fit. Wayne, fourteen;
Garrett, fifteen; Greencastle, four
teen; Greensburg, thirteen; Hunt
ington, fourteen; La Porte, four
teen; Logansport, thirteen, and
Plymouth, fifteen.
Twelve teams can finish their
tourney in two days without fore
ing the finalist to play three games
on the last day. Mr.. Ihsaa will
specify that to stage three-day,
rather than a two-day tourney, the
majority Of schools competing in
the sectional must approve Of the
change. Gary last year staged a
three-day sectional and found it
successful.
WHEN Let's met Butlerville In
w Butlerville the other night,
the referee put six Let's Bearcats
of the floor with four personal fouls
each. The Bearcats played the lat
ter part of the game with only four
men, and lost, 80 to "a. The official
who relieved the six Let's men from
the floor was Carson of ButlervilIe.
A short time ago, while refereeing
the Butlerville New MaTion game at
ButlerviIle, he watched the visitors
