Anderson was only seven or eight feet
from the Nincennes end of the floor when

ball going cleanly through the draperies.

Few teams could have met stronger op-

ing day of the State high school ba sket-
ball championships and still have sur
vtved to take part In the semi finals this
afternoon at the Coliseum. Franklin de-

round games of the tourney Franklin
beat Rochester, 10 to IS, winning on a

the Franklin team. A slight built, eagle
eyed man sits quietly watching every

ner, and it was his brains that won the
game against Rochester last night and
kept Franklin in the tourney up to the
semi finals When Rochester looked like
a sure winner Coach Wagner sent In
Davis and Cant at forward. 1t was
risky thing to do, to pull out two hot,
sweaty forwards and send in cold men.
but the score book shows that Wagner
was right. The two fnal goals scored by
Franklin In the last half were tossed by
the two substitutes The change In the
style Of offensive won for Franklin.
The game was one Of the most thrill
