After all the long and weary
hours Papa Arthur Trester and
his /. III. S. A. A. family put in rig
ging up system to settle prolonged
overtime games, the boys won't pay
a bit of attention to it. Instead of
allowing each team to toss five free
throws to decide the issue after a
repeater deadlock, the boys are just
calling it quits and leaving the
score knotted up.
Two such cases have popped up
already this season. Tech and
Frankfort couldn't get untangled in
two overtimes and decided to call
it an evening with honors even at
31-S1. Neither Greencastle nor
Bloomington could bulge past num-
Der 20 last weekend and gave up
after two added heats, waving the
right to settle the matter by char
liable methods.
Would you call it treason, Mr..
Trester? Or common sense?
If Ben Davis is upset again this
year, it will be another stirring pro-
ductiOn of Mutiny on the County.
INDIANA University has a fancy
Il crop of freshman basketeers
this year. But what to do with the
newcomers when they grow up into
varsity fodder is problem which
surely must be CRAVING Coach
Everett Dean.
Your informer happened to run
into Jack Tharp of Plainfield, home
on vacation, the other day, and
picked up some data on the rhine
roster at I. U.
Among the score or more sur
vivors on the yearling squad are
several state high school Standouts,
including Andres and Johnson of
Jeffersonville, Stevenson of Short
ridge, Porter of Logansport, Singer
of Jasper, Martin of New Albany,
and Dorcey and Waffle of Ken
lucky, not to forget Tharp and
Pope of Plainheld.
But here's the rub. Only three of
the first 20 men on the present
varsity are seniors, and - are
sophomoreS! That makes the going
tough on the struggling rhinies. To
reach their goal they not only have
to be among the three best of the
upcoming field, they have to out
class II other scrappers already
considered good enough for first
string material!
The plebes are not kicking,
though. 1t makes the goal all the
more worthwhile to go after, Jack
says.
The freshman coach is Ralph
Graham, who was connected with
BO McMillin in Kansas and &C
companied Bo to the Hoosier cam
pus. Graham also is one of Nc
Mullins competent aides during the
grid season.
Jack Tharp did not divine that
our chat would result in this
article. If he had, he might have
gone silent on me, for he is ex-
ceedingly publicity shy, He was
that way when he was Plainfield's
high school hero.
Anderson's Indians believe in
taking quick and terrible vengeance.
After absorbing a lacing from Lo-
gansport in New Year tourney
the Scalpers came back to squash
the Logan Berries two days later,
80 to 81.
Which serves more than ever to
make the state champs the mystery
club of the season.
Coach Ward Lambert of Purdue
takes a gentlemanly bow to the
eastward and says: "Ohio State is
great this year. She will give us the
most difficult game of our Big Ten
schedule tonight"
I'll bet he tells that to all the
conference girls.
