NEW YORK. Feb. 3.—Basketball
fives of the state of Indiana repre-
, sentlng colleges not members of the
Western Conference are now in the
midst of their annual clean-up of
Big Ten court teams. , >
Indians for years seem to have
the literary market cornered. Now
the Hoosier commonwealth is gain-
ing similar distinction in the sport
of tap. bounce and pass.
Thus far this season quintets of
Indiana colleges have succeeded in
defeating more than half the teams
of the “Western Conference.
Each year since the war the carn-
'sge has grown greater so that now
the race in the lndiana Conference
has a. more important aspect from
the standpoint of championship rat-
ing than the Big Ten race. Yet the
standard of baskefhnll in f is larger
conference is really high grade.
Take the team of butler college.
Indianapolis which won the Na-
tional A. A. U. title at Kansas City,
last year. This Winlcl‘ the Butler
outfit went to lows City and defeat-
ed lone. 26-223. in spite of trains de-
layed by snow the team reached
Madison next night and swamped
Dr. Mennwcll‘s Wisconsin five 32-l6.
Jumping to Milwaukee next evening
Pete Page's tossers turned back
Marquette. a team famous for its
coppcr~rnctcd guarding.
Three games in three nights
against two A-l Conference teams
and tin Milwaukee lrish. Rather an
achievement was it not? Next week
Butler defeated lilinois at Indian-
apolis and next night lost its first
game of the season lo Ohio State.
Then. \V’abash.‘ in turn. nosed out
Butler. and at last accounts had lost
but one game. a one-point thriller,
to \Visconsln. Indiana State Normal
‘has beaten the powerful L'niversliy
of lndlana live and Franklin col-
lege. defeated but once in three
years, has already beaten Purdue
and Wisconsin, a team that is never
weak.
Notrc Dame has beaten North-
western. Vanderbilt came up out of
the south and bowed to Butler.
Franklin. \Vabnsh and Depauw. 1n—
diana has turned back Kentucky
and Mercer. as in 1921 has had no
luck in the Hoosiier mute.

this five today were all members of
the same Sunday school class in
Franklin as boys. '
.Their teacher was“ Ernest Was-
her. As basketball Has long been
Hoosierdom’s favorite}
——it annually outshines the radio,
the Klan. writing novels and talk-
ing politics—this Sunday school
class organized a little basketball
team. Wagner helped them.
When the boys went into the high
school he was still with them. They
won three indiana high school
championships in succession. an .in-
terscholastic record in the state.
When they entered Franklin col-
lege. Wagner was prevailed upon to
stay with them as athletic director
and basketball coach at the Baptist
college. And in three years college
play they have,lost but one game.
Primarily Indiana colleges seem
to benefit t‘romnan annual supply of
seasoned prep school material. In
no high schools in the country are.
there shown such clever change of
pace from short passes to long
passes. from set-up shots to long
range bull's-eyes, or four and five-
man defense of calibre so high.
Preparatory school athletics in
Indians are controlled by the In.
diana High School Athletic Associa-
tion. an organization of high school
principals, governed by a board of
controlled elected annually by the
principals at the State Teachers'
convention. It has Jurisdiction over
all sports but its strong suit is bas-
ketball. _.
In March the tournament is held
in which the 8,000 odd members of
the organization each enter a squad
ofe ht varsity men in the state
cha ionshlp competition. The
tourney is held at the state fair
grounds at Indianapolis and it at-
tracts thousands of spectators who
carry municipal and regional rival-
ry to the limit of vocal enthusiasts.
It is estimated that. 20.000 will
watch each decisive. game of the
tournament in March—and there
are fifteen games in the final play-
offs
Since Thanksgiving every Friday
has been characterized by approxi-
matelyj 400 high school games
throughout the state and they are
all preliminary to‘ the final cham-
pionship tests.
Indiana is basketball mad and
therein is perhaps contained the am

HARTFORD. Feb. 3—Physlclans
the world ever have long been anx‘
, ions to secure for the diagnosis of
‘ tuberculosis a simple tiood test
comparable to the \‘v'idnl test for the
diagnosis of typhoid fever. which is
used now in all civilized countries.
" his test depends upon the fact
t at, if a few drops of blood from
’a. person believed to have the dis-
ease are added to a test tube cori-
talning a. turbid culture of typhoid
germs. the typhoid germs are. as
the doctors say. agguti'nated. or
, clumped. and they fall to the bot-
~ ‘ tom of the test tube and the hither-
' to turbid medium becomes clear.‘
No such phenomenon occurs if the
person from whom the tlood is tak-
en has not typhoid fever.
At yesterday's conference of med-
ical oificers of the State tuberculosis
sanstoria. held at the Cedar Crest
Sanatorium. Doctor William M.
Stockwell. superintendent. reported
that he had been able during the
past two months. to train the decap-
suled tubercle bacilli. which are be-
ing studied in the laboratories of the
state sanatoria, to grow in the body
of the liquid culture medium and
thus render it turbid thereby pro-
viding the long sought. material for
the blood test for tuberculosis.
A few drop of the blood of a
score or more tuberculosis patients
were tested with this new material
and it was found that the results
- 'were'posilive in all cases except a.
tow patients who were in the most
“advanced stages of the disease“
' One of the demands which are
being made everywhere by tubercul-
osis authorities is for an early diag-
nosis. I! further experiments carry
out the promise held by today’s ro-
pdrt. it would seem as if distinct
help ivould be given to the labou-
utories in their efforts to make ear-
ly diagnosis.
Other subjects discussed at’ the
meeting were the use of heliothor.
, npy in pulmonary cases. the calcium
.content of the blood and the Dar-
- snyi colloidal test.
Among the visitor! present were .
{he staff at the West Haven Veter-
m’ tuberculosis hospital. includinl'
Dr.’ Rogers. commander. Dr. Foss—I'-
