Seven Scrappy Teams Ready
for Tourney Games Wednes

PLAY AT MARION CLUB
Indianapolis Is sure of strong repre
sentation tn the finals of the state ama
teur basketball tournament, -which are to
be played on the Y. M. C. A. floor Feb.
28 and 29. The seven teams that are to
compete at the Marlon club Wednesday
and Thursday this week are, without a
#®nbt, the strongest amateur combina
tions ever produced in this city and
any one looks strong enough to carry
off the bunting. This is a broad state
ment, considering the fact that the Craw
fordsvllle and Wingate High school
teams will probably show in the finals,
but the fans who watch the play In the
local district this week will find that It
U true.
The South Side Turners. Debonalrs,
Boys' club, Lauters. Falr-O-Dlce. Joy
and Glooms and “Y” Leaders are the
teams that will battle for the Indianap
olis championship and If one dopeater
sees whore any one of these teams has
the big chance to come out on top, a
hundred others see where It has no
chance at all. However, the Turners,
vrlth Seldensticker, Hennessey and Se
crest, last year’s Technical, Shortridge
and Manual captains, and johnny Uiee,
former all-state high school forward. In
their lineup, seem to be slight favorites.
They stack up against Glen Klein's
Boys' club quintet tn their first game
and if they come through that they
should make a strong bid for the
laurels.
The Turners are undefeated this sea
son, but In that record they have noth

O-Dice. The I-eaders are also going big.
with twenty-seven wins out of twenty
nine games' played, and the other en
trants have won at least 90 per cent
of their gomes.
The Debonalrs got away to a bad
start this year, but they have been
burning up the courts for the last six
weeks and are considered strong con
tenders for the local district, champion
ship. Coach Squires has stated that
Anderson, Averitt. Clampit, Ettirs,
O'Cain. Starbnck. Sheele.v and Schaffer
will fight the -‘Deb" battles. These boys
all bear good reputations and if they
hare any teamwork should inn fee the
going rather rough for any combina

Coach Wert/ says that }i!s Lauter
team is ready to spring the big surprise.
This outfit has kept in the background
all season, and it is hard telling what
they will hare when they step forth

Decides County Meet
With Southport Victor

Hard Fought Finals of
Basket Tourney.
The Southport High school tossers won
the championship of the Marion County
High School Basketball association by
defeating Broad Ripple, 12 to 4, on the
.Marlon club court Saturday night. The
game was the fastest and most bitterly
contested affair staged on a local court
by high school quintets since the Msn
iml-Shortridge final round battle in the
local district of the state high school
tourney last year.
The guarding was so close in the first
period that each team scored only two
points, Morgan ountlng on a long shot
for the winners, while Morris registered
for the Ripple outfit. Adkins broke the
tie in fsvor of Southport In the second
half when he caged the ball from the
center of the iloor aud within the next
five minutes he shot two more field goals
from similar positions. Kirkboff. con
ter, also scored a field goal for the win
ners In this period and Morgan counted
twice from the foul line.
Garrett and Morris, the Broad Ripple
point getters, might Just as well had
their hands tied in this half, so closely
were thev guarded. Adkins and Penrod
watched the Black kand yellow warriors
so closely In this half that they were
unable to get a clean shot at the bas
ket. Garrett counted twice on free
throws in the second half.
Southport earned the right to play In
the final round by defeating Castleton.
12 to 9, In the first Saturday afternoon
struggle. The Castleton men saved t
lot of strength for this fray and it was
only the long distance shots of Adkins

Millions of robust young Americans

No men have a stronger claim to the
forward stations on the first team than
Morris of Broad Ripple, and Keasling of
Castleton. The Ripple roan displayed
more class than any forward in the
tourney. He is a -lean, fast player,
with a wonderful eye for the basket on
either long or short, shots. Roasting

how to break up auv sort of play. He

knockout over G. A. Finley, I. A. C.,
when the referee stopped the fight in the
third round. Another I. A. C. representa

when M. L. Sheerwood, Culver, won a de
cision over Fred Cunningham.
Jack Edwards of the Marlon *‘Y” went
an extra round to win from K. H. Ayers
worth of Culver. These boys were evenly
matched and put up the classiest show
of the meet. Lewis of the I. A. C. won
an unpopular decision over Armstrong
of the Munclo Y. M. C. A.. The boys
went an extra round when the Judges
failed to agree after the third round.
Young Hatfield, a Culver scrapper, out
pointed Mike Moran of the Athletic club
in three rounds. Morau had more speed
than the visitor, but he didn't know how
to use it. Schott, the Athenaeum repre
sentative, saved himself from defeat In
his match with Treber of the Marion
“Y” when he let loose a wild swing
with his right that taught his opponent
square on the Jaw and sent him down for
the count. The Marlon boy had every
thing in his favor until this time.
The real boxing came In the McDuff
Davis bout. McDuff fought under the
colors of the I. A. C. and his opponent
from the Muncie Y. M. C. A. Before the
first round was up it was easy to see
that McDuff had the fight. His clever
footwork and wicked left Jab was more
than the Muncie lad could handle. If
McDuff carried anything in his right
he could have scored a K. O. In the sec
ond round. Both lads seemed fresh
enough at the end of the regular time
and Lhe judges decided to let it go an
other round.
Dr. Carl B. Sputh of the Athenaeum
and Earl Meyer, Culver trainer, refereed
the fights. Joe Kelly and 1. Watt Pugh
were the judges. The show was a big
success and William Merrlman, athletic
director at the I. A. C., announced that
several tournaments will be held there
during the year.
