Technical High eff Indianapolis was to
meet Broad Ripple and Manual of Indi-
annapolis was to take on West Newton
in the semi-fnals of the Indianapolis sec
tional play in the State hlgh school
basketball championship tournament on
the Coliseum floor this afternoon.
Technical and Broad Ripple were 10 go
to the mat at o'clock and the Manual
West Newton affair was scheduled for
one hour later. This looked like won
derfuI opportunity for the Indianapolis
Teams to come through to the final round,
then battle for the right to represent
this city in the regional games at Bloom
ington, where the Indianapolis winners
Technical seemed to have the easiest
proposition in playing the Broad Ripple
team. The Ripple athletes have only
been playing a creditable game for the
their present speedy pace would be cut
somewhat when they stacked into the
Green and White crew. However, the
Tech game has not been much to talk
about during the tourney and there were
quite a few fans WHO expected TO see the
RippIeites make the locals hustle.
Tech defeated Valley Mills last night
to 90 into the semi finals, while Broad
Ripple had to down sBen Davis this
morning in one of the hardest fights of
=.
fore the last The hard morning hght
also was expected to tell on thesstrength
Of the Ripple team.
NEWTON TEAM
HAS FORM
Manual faces a neat chunk Of opposi-
ton in the Newton crew. The big fel-
lows from 1.-The sticks" have been play
ing good ball all season.
Manual won over Oaklandon in rather
fast game this morning, while Newton
went into the sem finals by handing the
West Newton gang a lRcing.
If things should work out this after
noon to bring Manual and Tech together
in the final tilt tonight, then the fans
will see a real court scrap. Manual elim-
mated ShOrtridge in the opening round
yesterday and the win gave the south
siders plenty of confidence in their abil-
ity to 20 right on through for the sec
tiOnal lauFels.
The winning combination in the In
dianspOlis sectional will go 10 Blooming
ton next Saturday 20 meet the winner OF

lowing Friday. Sixteen teams will play

ties at Lafayette. the eight winners at
each place to meet in the final here,
/. The Broad Ripple High school team
won over Ben Davis, L. to o. in the first
game of the morning session.
The Ripple boys started after Ben
Davis with rush that brought them an
early lead and they stayed out in front
from the first few moments OF play. At
half time the winners held a 12-tO-5 ad-
vantage.
This contest was easily the best that
has been played in the tournament.
Bread Ripple held a 12-tO-5 lead at the
close Of the first half and il looked as
though they might step away for an easy
victory in the second, but Stamm and
FriZee Ben Davis best defensive bets,
came to the front with some real opposi-
ton and the Ripple clan was held score
less throughout the period, while Ben
Davis piled up four points. 1t was
great defensive battle and one that the
fans viii not forget in hurry.
Broad Ripple should make Tech hustle
to win this afternoon if the Green and
White machine is running no better than
II was last night. However, 1t is ex-
pected that the east siders viii come
back with fire in their eyes and tear
things up in their semi final encounter.
