Preliminary plans do not call for
football or basketball games be-
tween the Tigers and Bulldogs until
the 1867 season unless shifting in
schedules is made today to bring
about a grid struggle next fall.
De Paw officials announced their
1896 football schedule completed,
while Butler needs at least five
games. Basketball cards for the
year ago, so nothing short of a post
season game for championship de-
termination could bring the two to-
gether late next spring.
First step towards bringing the
two schools together after a six-year
break in athletic relations came
Thursday night in Charlottesville,
when DR.. l.. B. Hopkins, president,
and Robert E. Vaughan, athletics
director of Wabash, entertained the
representatives of De Paw and
Butler. The Wabash officials have
been active for some time in bring
ing about get-together between
the Tigers ana Bulldogs. with full
realization of having keen competi-
ton existing between the trio off
old-time rivals, Wabash, De Paw
and Butler.
The agreement places the entire
athletic policy in the hands of the
faculty, who also will determine all
eligibility rules These rules will be
subject to enforcement by a fac
ulty representative on athletics at
each of the three schools involved
in the conference.
Another part of the agreement
reached was that scholarships are
to be awarded only to students of
high scholastic standing and are to
be awarded by faculty commit
tee.
Relations between thetwo schools
were severed in the spring of 1890
just before scheduled basketball

Both Seeking Return

Butler and Franklin College bas-
ketball teams will take to the hard
wood at the Fairview Fieldhouse to-
night with a common purpose in
mind. that being to atone for set
backs suffered last week.
The local Bulldogs fell before the
seven-game sweep of Indiana Gen.

lilies bowed to Central Normal.
Neither team boasts exceptional
size, but both are reported well
equipped in the speed department.
Buffers starting lineup probably will
consist of Jones and Gerkensmeyer,
forwards; Armstrong, center, and
Bats and Bradford, guards.
Coach Tony Hinkle has drilled the
Bulldogs in man-to-man defense
this week, and intends to use that
system against both Franklin and
the Pittsburgh Panthers, who in

it an easy three-game victory

Memorial of Evansville Selected as
Indiana,s Outstanding Prep EleUen
Times Grid Trophy Goes
to Tigers; Other Fine
Teams in State.
BY DICK MILLER
BY DICK MILLER


u ball team of Evansville goes
the award of the ninth annual In
dianapolis Times trophy, Triumph"
symbolic, in the opinion of the
writer, of the outstanding prep grid
squad in Hoosierdom during the
1885 season.
Memorial was selected from a
group of fine teams, five of which
would have the right, in the event
of an actual series for the state
championship, to insist upon bat
tie for any high honors being passed
out. In the absence of such a Sc
rieS the award is made by the writer
on the basis of observation, COM
parison of records, and other facts
compiled.
The Tigers of Memorial were
coached by Don Ping, and they
were obliged to hang up an exceed
ingly impressive record during the
season to gain the nod over such
teams as Garfield of Terre Haute,
New Albany, Hammond and Misha-
Waka.
In addition, there was little Low
ell High, team coached by Emer-
son (Jim) Carter, former Purdue
half back, who was enjoying his
first season of coaching. Jim
brought his team through an I'M
defeated and united nine-game
campaign. Lowell hardly can be
classed as extreme tops" because
it's league does not contain the cali
Der of competition faced by other
leading elevens.
THERE was Shortridge of In
Il dianapolis, undefeated but tied
once, which likewise failed to meet
enough top competition to gain the
honor. Central of Fort Wayne was
undefeated and had fine record
until meeting Memorial, the trophy
winner, in a post-season game which
Memorial won, 1870.
Central of Fort Wayne was the
only team to defeat Wabash. Horace
Mann of Gary, Washington of East
Chicago, Jefferson of Lafayette,
Newcastle and Kirklin each had
teams that turned in fine all-season
records.
In 1927 the Indiana High School
Athletic Association gave the writer
permission to select annually the
outstanding high school team of the
year, so long as it was made clear
the I. H. S. A. A. and its officials
were in no way connected with the
selection or the supplying of the
award.
EROEBEL of Gary was the win
IL ner of the trophy the first year,
and each year since the trophy has
gone to an I. H. S. A. A. team. Me-
mortal is not a member of the as
ISOLATION, but operates under the
same eligibility rules and annually
engages in football contests with all
the other Evansville city schools
and other state teams who are
members. Previous winners Of the
trophy were:
lJH t-FIOcDetp Udry ll1oJ-teHtEal.
192S-Clinton South Bend.
1929-Horace Mann, 1932-Clnton.
Gary 1933-CIinton.
1930-Emerson, 1934-Muncie.
Gary
Memorial, under the direction of
Coach Ping, has shown marked I'M
provement during his five-year re-
gime. Ping has produced better
teams each year and has developed
several outstanding players. Last
year his team was one of the eight
considered for The Times award.
Memorial has been undefeated since
the windup of the 1888 season.
The 1885 record of the trophy
winners appears elsewhere on this
page along with the records of other
teams given serious consideration.

MAYORS PROCLAMATION

Saturday, May 25, was designated
as Poppy Day. in Malta-McCon-
nelsville, in a proclamation issued
by Mayors Mercer and Mcdaniel.
The proclamation called upon all
citizens of the twin cities and Nor
gan county, to observe the day by
wearing the American Legion Aux
iliary poppy in memory of World
war dead. The proclamation stated:
Whereas, in the great crisis of the
World war the young men of Nor
gan county offered their services to
our country, with an exalted spirit
of patriotism, numbers of them sac
rifcing their lives in that service;
and whereas, the same exalted spir-
it of patriotism is needed today for
our country in it's peace-time diff
culties, therefore, we, A. B. Mercer
and Ezra Mcdaniel, mayors of NAL
a-McConnelsville, urge all citizens
to recall the spirit Of these gallant
dead and renew the memory of
their high patriotic service by wear
ing the American Legion and Amer
ican Legion Auxiliary memorial
poppy on Saturday, May 25.
To that purpose. we do hereby
proclaim Saturday, May 25, Poppy
Day in the cities of Malta-McCon-
nelsville.

Bowman Loses Appeal-The
Death Sentence Upheld

The Kentucky court Of appeals at
Frankfort, KY, refuses to reverse
the death sentence given Neal Bow
man, formerly of this county, who
was convicted of the Staying of
Conner Franklin in Mercer county,
Kentucky. Franklin's body was
found in Lake Harrington. Bowman
has until June 21 to file petition
for rehearing. He probably will
wait until the last minute as the
court adjourns on that date and
would be unable to consider his pc
tition until September 20. Execu-
ton would take place on fifth Fri
day after final action by the court
Of appeals.
Bowman made a sensational last
minute appeal in which he asked
the jury not to be influenced by his
past record, but to try him for the
murder of Franklin, and not for the
things he did before going to Ken
lucky. Franklin, who was a mem
ber of gang headed by Bowman,
was shot and his body thrown into
lake. Bowman, 80, accused STAN
ley Mecrer, 10, of having shot
Franklin. Mercer was sentenced to
die for murder committed at
Camp Nelson, KY, but his sentence
was commuted to life imprison-
ment by Governor Ruby Laffoon.
