Gossip From Spring Baseball Camps, Bowling, Boxing, Basket-Ball and Other Sports
Franklin Champs Annex
Two All-State Positions
Vandivier Named as Greatest of All Tourney Players—Bor
den Clever Guard—Williams of Anderson Heads For
wards—Jefferson and Rochester Produce Stars.
By HEZE CIAKK.
At the close of the Indiana State High
School basket-ball tonrney at the Coli
seum Saturday night, there was no ques
tion in the minds of the 11,500 basket
ball fans as to which team was cham
pion. Frankling won a clean-cut victory
over Anderson by aSo to 22 score. Team
play of the most wonderful sort won
for Franklin, and the lion's share of
the honors must go to the wiry, quiet
little man who sat on the bench and
watched the machine he had built win
the State championship. That man is
••Griz" Wagner, coach of the Franklin
High School.
Like dashes of lightning FTlddle. Gant,
Ballard and Vandivier swept down the
floor with the ball. The passing and
handling of the ball was so fast and
clever that the Anderson defense melted
and McFarland and Gale were helpless
to stop the drive. Four times the lauky
Friddle slipped behind McFarland for
close-up baskets and once he caged the
ball on a long shot. Five times Gant
dropped the ball through the draperies,
but It was the play of Vandivier, the
best basket-ball player developed iu many
years in the high schools of the State,
that stood out far above that of any man
on the floor. On the offense and defense
he was the star. Ballard, a strip of a
“kid.” seemed to get the ball when It
was almost impossible to intercept passes
and his work over the floor was sensa
tional.
From the start of the tourney one back
guard played a type of game that puts
him ahead of the others aud that man
was Borden of Franklin. In four games
of the tourney In which the champions
played against Martinsville, Rochester,
Jefferson of Lafayette and Anderson,
which probably were the four strongest
opponents that could have been drawn
among the teams that reached the finals,
only twenty-three Seld goals were scored
In the four games by Franklin's op
ponents. This speaks well for the chain

plon team’s defense. However. Borden's
value as a guard Is not just bis defen
sive ability, but he is the man who
started most of Franklin's clever pass
ing. which was carried out by the other
men. It was clearly demonstrated that
plavers do not have to be giants to play
basket-ball, for Franklin's players were
far smaller than those of any of the four
teams they met In the tourney.
COMBINATION OF
GREAT FORWARDS.
The big redeeming feature of the final
game to the Anderson fans was the play
of Williams. His goal shooting, in not
only the last game but In every game
played by Anderson, stamps him aa the
best forward In the Stare. He is given
Allstate forward, and Crowe, the man
who kept Jefferson in the running until
the Lafayette team met Frauklln, is ths
second best forward.
Never in the history of high school
basket-ball have so many first-class pivot
men been seen in any tourney. Vandivier
of Franklin Is without a question the
best, but Tudor, the Martinsville pivot
than, is a close second. In the opening
game of the tourney, Tudor’s goal shoot
ing almost baited the champions iu their
march for State honors. M. Nyikos of
South Bend U really a forward, and not
a center, and he Is given second ail-State
forward, along with Friddle of Franklin.
One floor guard was so much better
than any other that no question arises
es to his right to be named on a Stare
team. Robbins of Rochester scored the
eighteen points made by his team agalust
Franklin and the champions onlv won
In the-last two seconds of play. Robbins
covered the floor in a most remarkable
manner, his defenne was strong and of
the six field goals he tossed at least four
of them were the direct result of his own
ability to dribble through the cham
pions' defense and not the result of team
play. Rosberg. the only man who can
be considered a rival of Borden for the
back guard position, is given second
team honors. He is a giant and for a
man his aize has exceptional speed. He
Is a stone wall on defense, but he is not
as valuable a man as Borden In starting
the offense and his passing lacks the
snap and accuracy that marks Borden's
passes. College coaches and a number
of critics at the press table as a rulo
regarded Rosborg, the Rochester giant, as
the best back guard in the State, but the
writer after watching the work of the
two meu gives Borden first honors be
Ohio State Stadium
Construction Will
Start About May 1
COLUMBUS. Ohio, March 21.—Construe
tion of the Ohio State Stadium will start
about May 1, according to plans of the
building committee.
Already many steps bare been taken
preliminary to the erection of the great
concrete horseshoe. The work of clear
ing the site and boring the holes for the
foundation has been in progress for sev
eral weeks and the contract for filling
the playing field with cinders has just
been let.
Since Dec. 1 a corps of engineers and
architects has been busy preparing the
detail drawings and specifications of the
huge structure. They have been workiug
under the direction of Clyde T. Morris
and Howard Dwight Smith, engineer and
architect, respectively, of the stadium,
who have studied every phase of the
structure and its possibilities for Im
provement. Asa result of their re
search several Improvements have been
made In the original plans.
PLANS READY
BY APRIL. 1.
The schedule calls for completion of
the plans by April 1, when they will be
submitted to the contractors for bids
with a view to getting the main con
struction under way wijlf' a month, and
the completion of the -est banks by the
opening of the football season of 1922.
The immediate filling of the playing
field with cinders is expected to be of
great advantage in that it will give
ample time for the gridiron to become
well covered with grass. J. H. Pierson
was recently awarded the contract to re
move the cinders that have accumulated
from the university power plant for the
last six or eight years. They have been
deposited along the Woodruff avenue
side of the recreational field, thus mak-

RUSHVILLE. Ind.. March 21.—T00
much sentiment among basket-ball fan*
for anew high school gymnasium In
Milroy, south of here, was the down
fall for the building project. The tax
paying farmers of the township couldn’t
see $90,000 for anew gymnasium, al
though they need anew high school
building. Those behind the project
talked too much about the new gymna
sium and didn’t lay enough stress on the
school rooms, and the farmers say they
are Interested In edncatlon, and not bas
ket-ball. A vote in the township klllled
the project when fifty-twro voted against
building and fifteen for the baildlng.
cause his work tends to develop team
play and team play won Franklin the
championship.
Special mention must be made of the
work of the Muneie floor guard, War
ren. This athlete Is a wonderful goal
shooter and was one of the fastest play
ers ou any team iu the tourney.
LOSING TEAMS
DESERVE CREDIT. TOO.
While Franklin won the championship
It is only fair to some of the teams that
did not get to the finals to say that the
game they played against Franklin in
dicated that they probably were stronger
teams than Anderson. Thousands of
basket-bali fans believe that Roches
ter has just as good a team as the Fran
ltu quintette. Davis, a substitute, won
the game for Franklin agaiust Rochester
in the last tew seconds of play and the
score was 19 to 18. Martinsville made a
far better showing against the champions
than did Anderson aud the score was 27
to 24. While Jefferson led Franklin in
the first half, any perssn who saw all the
games at the tourney knows well the
champions did not put info the game
against the Lafayette team what the)
were forced to put into the gunio against
Martinsville and Rochester.
CreHit must be given to four men for
the splendid way the State tourney was
conducted. Fred R. Gorman, chairman
of the committee, worked so hard he be
came 111 and Just before the tourney It
was necessary to add a fourth man to
the committee. That man was F.eryl
Black of Technical High School. The
other two members of the committee
were K. V. Ammermau and Myron Tat
lock.
The official figures on the attendance
show that on Friday night 7,500 witnessed
the games, Saturday afternoon there
were 8,000 present and Saturday night
11.500 This is the largest crowd that
was ever In the Coliseum, as well as the
largest crowd that ever witnessed a bas
ket-ball game In the Fnited States. An
official of the street car company stated
it never was necessary before to have
! more than forty five extra .ars to handle
| a Coliseum crowd but Saturday uight
seventy carß were used. The street car
j company gave excellent service to the
! fair grounds during the tourney.
Ralph Marlowe, forward on the San
dusky high school basket ball team, was
awarded the Jake Glmhel medal fur the
! best mental attitude aud sportsmanship
; during the high school basket-ball tour

Percentage for Champ.
NEW YORK, March 21.—Jack Dempsey
and Georges Carpentier will know wheie
they are to swap punches before the end
of 'the week. Tex Rickard has eleven
more days In which to think over the
best place of the three or four under con

not make use of the full thirty days of
grace granted him by the fighters.
"I am not ready to make the announce
ment, but It may come within a few days
now." Rickard said today.
Discussion of the site with Rickard is
thought to have brought Jack Kearns,
r anager of the champion, back to New
York. Kearns blew in suddenly from
tl.e "road.” where he has been appearing
with Dempsey in a vaudeville act. lie
conferred with Rickard.
“We did talk a few things about the
place for the big go,” Kearns said, “but
I am not at liberty to give the details."
He dropped the gentle hint, however,
that New Y’orkers would have to spend
some carfare to cee the bout.
Members of the boxing commission main
tain they have never talked with Rickard
about the fight and that they will have
nothing to say until he makes formal ap
plication for a license to stage the bout
in the State.
Kearns has sgreed to accept a percent
age offer front Rickard, but the size of
the percentage has not yet been gettlod.
Rickard, meanwhile. Is still silent regard

Even Get Free Eats
FRANKLIN. Ind., March 21.—As a re
sult of winning the Stale high school
basket-bail championship in the tourna
ment held in the Coliseum at Indianapolis
Saturday. Franklin today is celebrating
one of the greatest basket-ball victories
in her history. When the team returned
Saturday evening a monstrous crowd was
waiting to greet them. Enthusiasm was
at a fever beat and bonfires were built
in several parts of the city. A parade
was held this afteruoon by tbe high
school and a dance will be the big num
ber on the program tonight.
The victorious Blue and White players
will be invited out for dinner every eve
ning this week, either by clubs or by
Individuals. In all probability, tbe com
ing week will be nearly as strenuous as
the one preceding for the players.
While the majority of local basket-ball
enthusiasts believed that Franklin could
“bring home tbe bacon," the 35-to-22 vic
tory over Anderson in the finals was
above the fonueat expectations of all.
The fans are loud In their praise for
Coach “Grle" Wagner, and to him goee
a large ehare of the credit for bringing
another State championship trophy to
Franklin High School.
KANSAS FACING
CRUCIAL GRIND
Winner of Tonight’s Bout Is
Promised Tilt With
Leonard.
NEW YORK. March 21.—Rocco (Mike)
Tozze will be the cynosure for fistic eyes
here tonight when he nnlimbers two bat
teries of padded artillery in his quest
for fame and fortune.
Tozze is none other than “Rocky Kan
sas,” and his bid for the smiles of Dame
Fortune will be contested by Willie Jack
son In a bout that promises no end of
action.
Since he Jumped into the spotlight
overnight by flattening Richie Mitchell
with one punch, a feat that took Benny
Leonard six rounds, Kansas has beeu
the most interesting figure in the light
weight division. The boxing fans are
divided regarding his real ability and
contentions that his sensational defeat of
Mitchell In Buffalo was attended by luck
were somewhat upheld when he met
Richie two weeks later and won a popu
lar decision, though falling to repeat his
K. O. victory.
But Kansas is a puncher. More, he Is
somewhat of a freak. He is short In
stature aud barrel-chested, with gorilla
like arms that reach nearly to his knees.
He fights with his head well out of the
way and the only time he Isn’t dangerous
Is when he Is asleep. Incidentally, no
boxer has ever knocked him out since
he became a seasoned professional.
Regardless of what else he has done,
Kansas has proven conclusively that he
Is Mitchell's master. Jackson, who has
boxed Kansas several times in no-decision
bouts, compares very favorably with Lew
Tendler, one of the South’s leadtng 135-
pounders, so these lads represent the best
element on Benny Leonard's trail.
Whpn they get together In Madison
Square Garden tonight they will have
something definite to fight for. Tex Rick
ard has promised the winner an open-air
battle with Leonard as soon as the cham
pion get* ready to start his summer cam
paign. Such a match will mean $25 000
to the winner and no more attractive In
centive could be offered.
Boxing critics of Gotham are Inclined
to favor Jackson. Perhaps It is be
cause the local lad is acknowledged to
be the better boxer. But Kansas has
his share of admirers and although Jack
son probably will enter the ring a favor
ite, the odds will be very short. A man
with a wallop like Kansas is not a good
risk
Several bouts will be Included In to
night’s program, one of which will be a
ten rounder between Jack Sharkey uid
Jim Smith Sam Sieger and Art Root
and Kid Norfolk and Jack Ward will
also entertain. The show will be held
for the benefit of Irish sufferers.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., March 21.—Ver
non L. Parks, captain and star pitcher
of the Michigan baseball team, has de
clared there was no truth in reports that
he had played professional baseball on
tbe Pacific coast last summer. Athletic

charges were proved, Parks would, of
rourse. be deduced ineligible for further
Intercollegiate competition.

COUPLE OF INJURIES
By EDDIE AJRH.
Dally Time* Sport* Edited
LAKE CHARLES, La., March 2L—JbA
Hendrick’* Indian* were feeling che*ty
today, following their 12-to-8 victory
Sunday over the mixed ioad of EhUnJ
I del phi* Americana. The Sabbath dxJl
win over the big leaguers came after th A
Hoosier* had battled the Connie Mack*
to a 3-to-S twelve-inning tie at Crowley
Saturday, and today they felt they had
demonstrated their superiority conclualre
ly over the big fellows. *
Manager Me ck personally directed th*
play of hi* hopeful* Sunday and the In
dian* took keen delight in mauling the**
right under the nose of the famous base
ball leader.
The Sun.lay victory was not without
its mbshap*, however, and today both
Ralph Shlnner* and Bob Kinsella wer*
nursing bruise* as a result of the hlt
fetrt. The former sprained an anile whß*
chasing a fly ball and the latter braise<s
a thumb while batting, but it i* not
thought either will be unt of action for
j any length of time.
The chief paint of elation over tho rie
tiry here Sunday cropped out in the hit
ting of Lutzke, Attrean, Kinsella and
Schreiber. Lutzke had a perfect batting
day, getting thres single*, a doubl* anl
a base on balls. He demonstrated clearly
that he is a bearcat against southpaw
pitching and hi* record for the day is
! further evidence that it is going to bo
a hard proposition to keep him out of tho
regular 1921 IndianapoLU line-up.
STBTKER THROWS
GOOD BALL.
Jones and Stryker divided the Trfb*
pitching Sunday and the latter hnrlel
the better brand of the two. lie entered
the game in the sixth inning and only
through a bad play on the part of At
trean in the eighth were the Athletic*
able to score off him. Six marker* wer*
counted on Jones, First Baieman Braziil
doing the greatest amount of damage,
with two home run*. He put one over
the right field fence in the opening in
ning with two mates on the sacks, and
hi* second circuit drive came in the sixth
when the bases were unoccupied.
He got a single also and was the big
bitter of the afternoon for th* Mack*.
Brazil! wa* the St. Paul club’* infield
utility man l*t season, and, according
to Harry Davis, Connie Mack's lieutenant,
the former Saint probably will be found
holding down a regular Job with tha
Athletic* the coming season.
With the exception of at first base, and
a little lonesome in the ontfleid, the de
fensive work of the Indians was good
Sunday, t-ixon caught a splendid gams’
but failed to hit and there is some fear
felt that he is going to have trouble solv
ing American -v*.sociaticn pitching. Tex
Covington was out in uniform for the
first time Sunday and appears to be \n
good physical shape. Re will be hurried
in his training end feel* sure that lie
will be at the top of his form when the
A. A. bell rings.
Owner Smith and Manager Hendrick*
wli! meet John McGraw in Houston Tuei
dny to try to pry a pitcher loose from
the Giant s roster. The Tribe directors
felt certain today that they would not
return from the conference empty-handed
and there is much speculation in the Hoo
siers' camp regarding the twirler who
likely will come. Both Winters and
Ryan have been mentioned as possibili
ties.
ORANGE TRIP
CALLED OFF
In the Saturday game at Crowley,
Whitehouse and Cavet got a chance to
show their form. Whitehonse was not
quite ready, but he was fairly effective,
and the veteran Cavet gave indication*
that be is resdy to step out and go the
full route now.
The Indians did not jump to Orange,
Texas, today as originally scheduled, but
packed no ’their togs and headed back
for their "training camp at Crowley late
this morning to resume the practice grind
until they meet the Atlanta Southern As
go< iation'teum late In the week. Original
plans called for the Hoosier* to go from
here to Orange, Texas, today to battle
the St. Louis Cardinals, but Manager
Rlckev of the Mound City team called* l
over the long-distance phone this morning
and advised the cancellation of the gams
because cf poor baseball attendance in
that viciritv. The advice was followed
and the Indians quickly got busy for a
return to their camp.
TIE IN DUAL MEET.
LONDON, March 21.—Oxford and
Cambridge Universities or>ke even in
their dual track and field games at th*
Queen's Club here Saturday afternoon.
Each team won five first places in the
