THE POST MORTEM.

The two outstanding features of the
weekend basket contests were Manuals
H-to-12 victory over Richmond and the
fine game the Shortridgers put up at
Martinsyille. The former contest, while
not particularly noteworthy for inside"
stuff. showed that the south siders are
worthy of the splendid support that has
been accorded them by their student
body. and their comeback" is taken by
all Manualites to mean that the Red and
White quint will fight to the last ditch
in the district sectional battle a few
days hence.
1t seemed to be the opinion of Martins
vile fans Saturday night that Short
ridge provided the strongest opposition
that the Morgan county quint has had
this season. 1t was a bangup exhibit
tion of the great indoor sport, was any
body's game until the final pop of the
gun. and the 3-point difference in the
score might easily he figured as the ad-
vantage Of home floor. Blue and White
followers claim the showing made puts
them right up among the state cham
piOnship contenderS. Incidentally, the
Martinsville folks called attention to the
fact that the Martinsvllle team which was
defeated by Columbus last Friday night
was the second" team. The dope also
behaved in the Shortridge Pendletoa
fracss, and the north sders rung up IL
points for every one of the which Pen
dleton counted. Not single field goal
was registered by the Madison county
