EASY FOR CUMBERLAND.
In the first afternoon tournament game
tsoday sle Cumberland High school qGin-
tet sVamped the Beech Grove, eS to z.
The losers did not get a single field goal,
their lone two points being made on
fouls. The Cumberland lads displayed
plenty of speed, though they met with
little opposition and played just about
as they pleased WHITE scored ten field
goals and HeI,osne nine. Jolly, the small
est player In the meet at TomlinSon hail,
attracted considerable attention by his
aashY work in the opening half. Ian
geaberg and Ferguson, Cumberland reg
ulars. did not enter the game until the
second h@2f, but each registered four
field goals. Broad Ripple and New
Augusta met In the second clash OF the
afternoon.
Technical triumphed over Manual in
tae big game of the morning at the To-
cal sectional basketball tournament at
TomIinson hall today, 20 to 9. The east
side squad got the jump at the start and
was never headed. They played higher
grade of basketball throughout and had
the game IA to at the end Of the hEst
half Slaughter tossed "a five Held
markers and Griggs three. q. Harmesop
was the Manual scoring star, this player
registering all the points his team made.
Manual made two substitutions In the
second half and the south sidsrs' game
improved somewhat, but not enough to
check the speeding east siders. Slaughter
started the scoring in the game on foul
throw when q personal was called on
Wertz. Griggs then followed with a field
goal and the Tech machine was on its
way. The Tech athletes turned in eleven
points before Manual scored a point. and
it was evident that the south side players
we're clear of their stride. They seemed
to be excited and the defensive work of
Black and Hawkins Of Tech stopped
nearly every effort they started. Manual
tried several long shots. but failed, F..
Harmeson tossing a held goal for hts
teams only points in the first half.
Griggs registered two distance shots half
the length Of the floor In the first half
and Tech rooters staged plenty Of wild
roofing over the achievement. In the
second half Tech made only six points,
but the east siders knew they were safe
apparently, though when Whitney and
Strain were substituted the Manual team
seemed to work better.
T. Harmeson stood out as the Manual
starlight In the defeat Of the Red and
v bite, the other players having lost
their shooting ability The entire Tech
squad played well together and Its fol
lowers became wildly elated over the
easy manner In which their five won its
first sectional contest.
In the opening game of the sectional
West Newton nosed out Valley Mills,
u to u, the weight of the winners p-ov-
ing too much for the midget Mills lads
West Newton had a to lead at half
time, this teams guards stopping the
Efforts Of their opponents. Valley Mills
was doped to win, but they found their
rivals had improved their guarding and
they could not penetrate the defense
enough times to put over a victory. The
Valley boys fought hard all the way
and get within one point Of tieing the
count In the second half, only to fan
back However, Stuart nearly put his
team in the lead near the finish when
he threw for the basket and the ball
sqBirmed out after apparently being In.
The game was not fast, but It proved
exciting all the way. due to the closo-
ness of the score
In the second struggle Of the day
Ben Davis didn't have much trouble
with Fishers and won, % to 10 The
winners uncorked some good team work
and clever shooting and gradually rolleo
up the count. Stanford tossed in four
field goals and Stamm three. Stamm

Frizee of Ben Davis also was a feature

leading athlete for the defeated team.
