Carmony Gives Lectures<br />
On State History<br />
Dr. Donald Carmony ’29, head of<br />
the history department of Indiana<br />
University and chairman of the state<br />
committee for celebrating the sesqui-<br />
centennial of Indiana’s becoming a<br />
state, is giving a series of sketches of<br />
Indiana’s history before the high<br />
schools of Indianapolis. In the first,<br />
at Emmerich Manual High School, he<br />
told what Indiana was like when it<br />
became a state, about the convention<br />
at Corydon, the first state capital,<br />
and about the moving of the capital<br />
to Indianapolis. He reported that in<br />
1925, when Indianapolis became the<br />
capital, there were fewer people in<br />
Indiana than there are now pupils in<br />
the Indianapolis public schools.<br />

“Nick” Quits All-star<br />
Coaching<br />
Because of having been elected pres-<br />
ident of the National Association of<br />
Intercollegiate Athletics at Kansas<br />
City, Angus Nicoson has had to give<br />
up the coaching of the Indiana All-<br />
Star team in their Blind Fund Basket-<br />
ball battles with Kentucky.<br />
It will be necessary for Nick to be<br />
on the road much of the time in June<br />
to attend committee meetings at the<br />
time the All-stars are practicing in<br />
Indianapolis before the first game<br />
June 18, making it impossible for him<br />
to continue the job that has given<br />
him so much pleasure for 14 years.<br />
Nick has compiled a 14-11 record<br />
with the All-stars since 1952. Seven<br />
of the 11 losses were by four points<br />
or less.
