Biography"Guthrie pursued an educational career which included law studies at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, and at the University of Chicago Law School. The job, which he started at 6:30 a.m. on the first day of January, 1921 at the Indianapolis News, spanned over a half-century. Although he may be best known for his column, Ringside in Hoosierland, which he has been writing since 1947, Guthrie was a reporter for six years, assistant city editor for seven years starting in 1927, and city editor for 14, starting in 1934. In addition to his duties as head of the city desk, he wrote special sports articles and covered the 1925 and 1927 sessions of the House of Representatives. From then until 1947 he headed the News' legislative bureau at every session."--www.depauw.edu/library/archives.
