ANNOUNCES TOURNEY WILL BE CONTINUED { Texans, Making Use of Greater Height, Defeat Classen High 25 to 21 JOES, COLORADO, IS THIRD Forty Teams From 33 States Sought National Honors at Chicago Last Week Chicago, April 8.—(#)—The national high school basketball title, hereto- ‘fore only a mgth to the southwest, Saturday became a reality as Athens, 'Tex., won the championship, defeat- ing Classen high school, Oklahoma City, Okla. 25 to 21, at the University of Chicago, The winning of the national cham- pionship, the first time the feat has ever been accomplished by a team from the southwest, was accomplished after five days of grueling play in which the Texans bowled over five teams from every section of the coun- try. The southwest has had teams in the finals, but never before has that section of the country sent two of its representatives into the final contest) for the gold basketball. Towering over their opponents, the tix-foot-plus athletes from the little farming community of northeastern ‘Texas went out in front early in the second period, and stayed there. Battling the Texas five, which av- crages better than 6 feet 1 inch in height, was a great team from Okla- homa which came to the tournament and proceeded to turn back four of the nation’s best, including Ashland, Ky., the defending titleholder. Beck Stars On that flashy Oklahoma five was & guard, Andy Beck, all-tournament selection. Beck had played brilliantly before, but he never played more sen- sationally than he did Saturday night. Everything he did was right. With Jumping-Jack McCracken, all-Amerl- can center. covered like a blanket by his equals in size from the bordering state, Captaih Beck took unto himself the job of keeping the Oklahomajup of James Raabe, Grand Forks; champions in the running.

The North Dakota Aggies finished second and Morningside third. North Dakota's quartet was made In winning, the Texans exhibited a “futuristic” style of play. Being well over the 6-foot mark, the gangling boys from Athens clevated the game so that they played over the heads of their opponents. Saturday night the “high” game with its high passes aimed at leaping giants was just too much for Classen to combat. As with the other four teams de- feated by the national champion, Classen found the Athens defense al- most impregnable. Unable to break through and with McCracken’s pivot shots tied up, the Oklahomans could do nothing but shoot from down the court. But, despite the fact that Beck shot five times in the first half and made four baskets, this style of play could not match the alternating short and long pass game of the titleholders that carried the ball down under the basket for frequent short shots. Joes Gets Third Five youths from a farming country bordering the Rocky mountains, rep- resenting Joes, Colo., champion of the Centennial state, won third place by yanquishing Jackson, Mich., in a great final quarter rally, 21 to 17. The Michigan quintet had shown the way in the first three quarters, but the Joes youths staged a great drive to win what remaining laurels there were after having been elim- inated earlier in the day by Classen of Oklahoma City. Brockton, Mass., outstalled Morton high school, Cicero, Ill. to win the consolation championship, 17 to 19, in the first battle of the evening. Morton, using the slow tactics which won them the national title in 1927, could not draw out the Brockton de- fense. and when the casterners ran up @ lead Mortc 1's boys found themselves outmaneuvered in the final minutes. ‘The summary: Athens— J.

Mandell should have little trouble with Benny Duke, of Grand Rapids, when they meet in Grand: Rapids on Friday night, nor should Schwartz be unduly extended by Boy Walley of Manila at San Francisco the same night. Both bouts will be at catch- weights, On the other hand, Dundee possibly will be in for an unpleasant evening at Boston on Friday when he meets Al Mello, of Lowell, Mass., in a return match. Mello gave tiie welterweight champion something of a trouncing in @ recent match at Boston. As usual Dundee has secn to it that his title is not at stake. In the New York sector, the 15- round battle between Kid Chocolate and Bushy Graham, opening Jess Mc- Mahon’s New York Coliseum, is the high spot of the week. This show also is set for Friday night.

Brundage has addressed a lengthy questionnaire, including every possible phase of amateur and professional sports, to the 157 governors of the A. A. U., and when their answers are in he expects to see a change in the constitution, which hasn't been ma- terially altered since it was adopted in 1888. Five Results Expected At least five results are expected from the questionnaire, Brundage said. They are: Consummation of close harmony between the A. A. U. and the National Collegiate association. Formation of a high judiciary com- mission of five or more men to be su- preme in all matters of amateur eli- gibility the commission to function for amateur athletics as Commissioner K. M. Landis does in baseball. Creation of a better understanding and keener appreciation of the A. A. U. by the public. Recognition of the A. A. U. by kin- dred organization as the governing body in all amateur athletics, except- sssriing of most fighters are diminished by a cut for the manager or man- agers, but that is not the case with what Ace Hudkins earns in the fight racket. This young man, who is ‘trying so hard to get Mickey Walker's title, believes in keeping all the money in the family.- His two brothers manage him and the money is divided between the three of them.

Griffith, execu- tive vice president of the National Amateur Athletic federation and an executive member of the N. C. A. A., both rival organizations of the union, in an attempt to patch up differences and effect a working agreement with American colleges. “There has been considerable com- Plaint about the A. A. U. and its Policies lately,” Brundage explained. “We want to show everyone we are open to constructive criticism and are willing to correct any defects, if there are any.” Brundage further explained the A.
