IF indianapolis is to play host to
Il a bigger A. B. C. entry than the
1887 teams that set a record at
Syracuse last year, 100 additional
local aggregations must be recruited
before the deadline is reached at
midnight Wednesday.
Workers out of local headquar-
tiers renewed their drive for the adj
ditional entries after the deadline
was extended by Elmer H. Baum
garten, secretary of the national
organization. Though the latest
campaign has failed thus far to
boost the entry over the 1000-team
goal, the more optimistic officials
of the local group predict the mark
will be passed and that the 100
quintets needed for the record
will be obtained.
Word received Saturday from Mr..
Baumgartens headquarters in Mil
waukee assured the city of the
greatest out-of state representa-
ton in A. b. G. history. Fourteen
hundred twenty five have forwarded
entries, and the secretary's office is
at present attempting to work out
schedule that will give the visi-
tors their preferred dates.
Last years record entry at the
Syracuse event included more than
1000 teams from the State Of New
York, a large per cent of them be-
ing booster squads, which did not
include double and single entries.
With the huge delegation of out-of-
state quintets being scheduled for
the Indianapolis event, new high
should be reached in tie two man
and individual events.
Local tourney headquarters in
the SEVERN will be open day and
night until the entry drive closes,
and teams desiring to make entry
must do so before midnight Wednes-
day.
