MANUAL SEES
STRONGER FIVE
NEXT SEASON
South Siders Lose Less Basket
Men Than Do ShOrtridge
and Technical.

Although the covers have been tucked
in around basketball and the indoor
sport has fallen into sound slumber
that will carry it over for several
months, one would think this was the
dawn of q new season to hear the bas-
ket fans, particularly those from the
high schools. spreading the dope on how
Manual, Shortridge and Tech are going
to do and undo things next year
How are they going to stack up2
That's the one big question thar seems
To he troubling the fans who wont keep
Taking the coaches at their word and
giving things careful consideration 1t
looks like indianapolis will be repre-
scented by classier squads next year.
NEW MEN IN
LINE FOR PLACES.
Where one Of the schools loses a man
it is picking w a couple of good ones,
and there is not the least bit of pep
lacking in either of the three camps.
Manual seems TO have the big chance
to tear things up next.
The south si0ers Will start the sea-
son with practically the same five men
they used the last campaign.
All last seasons men are eligible ana
il does not seem as though any Of them
Will be dropped by the ways'de for the
newcomers.
Shortridge is not exactly without pad
dies. McLeay, Caldwell and Riley VIII
fly the Blue and White colors again
next year and they will be backed by
a squad Of first class rockies.
Griggs, Black and Nipper are the re-
naming sheep In the Tech fold.
MANUAL COACH
Is JUBILANT.
Coach Morrison is more than jubilant
over his prospects for next year. He
doesn't lose man from last season s
squad and, considering the fact that be
took handful OF green material and
worked IL up 10 a STRONG quintet, II
1t Is probable that the Harmeson
brothers. Emil and Harold, viii WORK
the forward positions at Manual again
next year However, they are going 70
have TO show more imam they ga laS'
year 10 beat Baruum ont Of JOB.
This player was declared ineligible dur
ing the Arst part Of the season aud ne
PLAYED a great brand Of ball with the
! 'Y'' Leaders.
Wertz ana strain or Vert and som
iners. probably will be the Manual guard,
ing combination. Sommers can be used
at either center or guard, but Morrison
seems to like him best at the guard
station.
Buschell and Chapman will hght Il out
| for the pivot position. Buschell played
/ This position on last seasons team.
Chapman could not make the state
squad last season. but he attracted con
| siderable attention by his work In th'
| interschool league.
TEC1 MAY
Use SHETTUR
At the present time It looks as though
Grlggs and Shettur, forwards, and Nip
per and Black, guards, are sure Of posi-
lions on the Tech team. unless some eN-
ceptlonaly good players enter school
Drayer. Hawkins, Slaughter Van
Arsdale and Hay VIII be lost by the east
siders.
The big thing bothering Coach Black
is the Scarcity Of good eenters.
Connelley. Geisel, Kiug and Upder-
graf. guards. and Miller and Shettur,
forwards together with the three men
that he has left from last season, are all
that Coach Black needs to take care OF
the guard and forward positions, but he
watched play in the interschool loop
closely last season and failed to notice a
center in green and white uniform that
suited him.
Coach Tatlock isn't spending a lot OF
time worrying about coping the sec
tlonal championship next year. lie be
lieves he can turn out the state champs
at the north side school.
FLAsHY STEVENS
LOST AT sHORTRIDGE.
The loss Of Hang Stevens and Harry
Escol will be felt at shortridge,. but not
near as much as one might suppose.
There are several youngsters at the
north side school who show all the ear.
marks OF developing into real talent, and
Indications are that the team next year
will be much stronger and faster than
any that has sailed under the Blue and
White banner for several years
I<ilgore and Floyd, guards. Gilmore,
Churchman and Clark, centers, and Smith
and Bash. forwards. look like the best
of the Shortridge coming up talent
at this time
OF these few players, Churchman, Bash
and Kilgore have the best chance to be-
come regulars.
Klgore, according To Coach Tatlock,
has been showing exceptional bility as n
back guard In the inter school loop, and
he will be given every opportunity 70
make good at that position.
In the event that he does toe the mark,
McLeay, back guard on last years team,
VIII be shifted to floor guard.
Churchman is the highest bidder for
center
Riley and Caldwell are still eligible
for play, and It looks like the north
siders win start the next campaign with
Riley and Caldwell. forwards; Church

guards
