Sixteen high school basketball COM
btnations. champions OF their respective
districts, were on deck here this morn
ing for their regional contests. in which
eight were to be eliminated through one
round Of games. The winners today go
into the State final tourney, carded at
Indianapolis next Friday and Saturday,
and interest and enthusiasm among the
students and fans was at a fever pitch.
Fore and foremost among the visiting
groups were the supporters Of the Green
and White five from Technical High
School OF Indianapolis. Coach Black
brought his Tech team, which meets Vim
eennes at $50 tonight in one Of the
big features of the Bloomin gton regional
play. here last night. They were ac-
c0mpanied by a small army OF students,
Indianapolis fans and members OF the
Tech faculty. Many more Tech support
ers were coming today's trains.
Tech faces q real bit Of opposition in
the Vlncennes club tonight, but the boys
from the HOosieT capitol are full Of gin
ger and determination, 30 IL looks as
though they might emerge the victors.
Tech plays a great brand OF basketball
when going right. ard Coach Black says
a week OF hard practice since the sec
<tfonsl play has brought his boys up to
a higher speed than they have been able
to hit all season.
Students Snd fans stormed the Indiana
University gym doors early this morning
so that they might get in and pick out
a comfortable seat long before activities
started. Many Of them brought lunches,
showing that they would stick to their
post from morning till night.
The huge building was packed to the
roof with mob OF happy, shouting
youngsters long before the whistle sound
ed for the opening scrap. The crowd
was perhaps as large as any that ever
gathered here for the State play.
Every one of the sixteen teams booked
to play here was backed by a crowd Of
loyal supporters. and cheer leaders were
hopping around like so many monkeys,
trying TO get the rOOters TO put every
ounce Of their pep into their yells.
