TECH READY
FOR TWO GAMES

The Tech basketball team will take
the floor against MooresvilIe tonight at
Mooresv1lle in q game marked by the
intense rivalry between the two schools.
1t was MOOresville. it will be remembered
who upset the dope completely in the
sectional tourney at Martinsville two
years ago by eliminating the strong Tech
squad In their first game when the East
Eide aggregation was doped to carry off
honors in that section. Since that time
Technical followers have been relentless
In their demands for revenge against this
little school and every meeting between
the two teams is hailed with enthusiasm
by the student bodies of both institu-
lions.
The dope is all in favor of the locals
tonight as Coach Blacks men have i'm
proved 100 per cent in the last two years.
MoOresville, on the other hand, appears
to be woefully weak this year as they
have been serving as door mat to the
many strong teams of southern Indiana
that are running wild this season.
Arrangements for handling what is ex
pected to be the biggest crowd that has
attended a high school basketball game
this season are being made at the Y. NJ
c. A. in preparation for the big double
header tomorrow night between Manual
and Pendleton and Kokomo and Tech.
Manuals sensational win over Hunting
ton has caused Red and white followers
to perk UP and the game tomorrow
night Is expected to be the signal for a
general outpouring of Red and White
fans. 1t is probable that the same com
bination that turned back Huntington
will be used by Coach Morrison This
consists of Strain and Harmeson at for
wards, Bushell at center and Vert and
SOmmers guards. Manual and Pendleton
will take the floor at 80, while Tech and
Kokomo are booked to clash an hour
later.
Although the Kokomo game is not re-
garded lightly by Tech followers IT, is
toward the game with Franklin Jan. 8
that Coach Black Has his men pointed.
This is without doubt the feature con
and the fact that MartinsviIle upset the
dope Christmas eve and defeated the
Johnson county aggregation by six
point margin has filed the locals with
new hope.
