OAKLANDON KEEPS
GAME MOVING.
Those who had picked shortridge to
win easily over Oakiandon this morning
felt rather uneasy during the greater
part of the game In fact, until the last
FIVE minutes Of play. the odds were about
even, with Riley and Castetter leading the
Oaklsndon defensive machine against the
Shortridge scoring combination, of which
Thompson and Stevens were the main
cogs. The half ended with the 0aklandon
lad fighting hard to overcome an IL to Z
lead gained by the north siders when
Thompson and Stevens each counted from
the floor Just a few seconds before the
whistle blew.
Castetter opened the scoring In Oak
landon's favor when he Gagged a free
throw on Thompson's personal foul.
Stevens gave Shortridge their first points
on field goal and followed shortly after
with a foul throw. Castetter evened the
count with two foul goals and the hun
dreds of frenZied fans that packed the
big hall began to smell the, smoke Of
battle. The teams fought on even terms,
the lead switching back and forth
through most of the half, Castetter keep
Ing the game all the more interesting by
throwing five foul goals out Of as many
chances.
SHORTRIDGE MAKES
WARM FINISH.
Both teams came back strong In the
second period and there was a chance for
either to win until the last FIVE minutes
of play. At this time Martin, who had
rather neglected his duties at back guard
on the Oaklandon team, deserted his post
altogether and the northsiders scored
rapidly from under the basket. The To-
Gals worked the ball down the floor time
after time with wonderful passing and
tossed It to Thompson or Stevens, who
were always stationed within a few
feet Of the ring. Riley, Oaklandon floor
guard, found his eye in the second period
and counted three times on brilliant shots
one of them the longest that has been
made in the tourney. Castetter had only
two chances from the foul line in this
stanza, making one shot good and miss
Ing the other.
The Shortridge athletes had to play
hard to stack up the big count on the
OakIandon team, and they were ex-
pected TO be given another good run for
their money this afternoon by the husky
Broad Ripple representatives. Morris
and Carrot, forward and center Of the
Ripple clan, are both good shots and
play an exceptionally hard game.
On the other hand, the Tech players
have had things fairly easy since their
game with Manual yesterday morning.
They defeated Cumberland this morning
with Drayer and Slaughter out Of har-
ness and were expected to have every
thing their way this afternoon against
Ben Davis.
EASIER ROAD
FOR TECHNICAL.
So. there's the dope Tech and Short
ridge played a fairly hard game yester-
day. Tech won easily this morning.
Shortridge had to play hard. Tech was
earded for "cinch' game this after
noon and Shortridge was scheduled in
real battle. Add everything together
and you get Tech and Shortridge meet
ing in the final scrap tonight, with Tech
meal having won one fairly hard game
and two ensy ones, and Shortridge hay
ing won one fairly easy game and two

The tournament fans were introduced

Friday night when Ben Davis defeated
,arWest Newton, 16 to IL, In an extra ses-
sion. The winners led through prac-
tically the entire game, but just before

throw. Martin evened the score for Ben
Davis with another foul goal, and

baskets.
Technical started the first game this
morning with VanArsdale and Hay. A
pair Of substitutes, holding down the
forward Jobs. Coach Black was conf
dent of a victory and refused to take
chances on injuring his regular combina-
ton. The Cumberland lads played a
better guarding game than was expected
OF them in the opening chapter and sen
sational shots by Langenberg and Hill
kene kept them close on the heels Of tn

two long distance shots, aud when the
