Manual, ShOrtridge and Tech
Hit Strides and Stack Up
Victories.

The unexpected occurred in local high
school basket circles last night when the
Manual, Shortridge and Tech machines
hied themselves forth to battle and came
through with three victories.
Manual beat Charlottesville, 30 to IT;
ShOrtridge beat TbOrntown, 10 TO 49, and
Tech slipped it over on Columbus, 20 to
II.
The Manual win does not create such
stir as those of Shortridge and Tech,
as the Red and White athletes show more
wins than defeats for the season, while
the youngsters from the north si0s and
those from the east side were all de-
feats until last night. Now that they
have caught their stride, bigger things
undoubtedly viii come to pass.
Manual had n harder fight with Craw-
louisville than the score indicates.
Coach Morrison's lads were not running

were showed TO the bottom side Of the

themselves together and were on even
terms with their opponents when the
half ended, the score being 10 to TO-
