trouble in subdueing LapOrte by
20 TO 1s score but Mishawaka had
her hands full in surviving by de-
feating Elkhart IN a nip and tuck
game by a 10 to Is score.
South Bend played a masterfui

Laporte knew they were playing
against a better team and even
though up against a losing PROPOSE
ton they played like five tigers. The
playing was so close that referee
Johnson who began to call them
close. exercised poor judgment by
watching South Bends play alone.

Elkhar- wi.h q IN man teal

threw a bad scare into the Misha
waka aggregation by forcing them
10 the limit to win. Inability TO
count on free throws more than any
thing else IS the big reason why
Mishawaka played in the finals in
stead Of them. With the score IA
TO 13 against them the lads from
Elkhart flivved four chances to
knot the count from the foul line.
Mishawaka at times played fault
less ball and then again they per-
formed like a bunch Of amateurs. If
the court would have had a wall
instead Of an outside line it is not
hard to believe that Anderson could
have beaten them. alone. The Elk
hart wizard dribbled away from his
opponents but he couldn't run the
whole team ragged although he
almost did, and consequently Elk
hart rooters and players had to be
content with the short end Of the
score With wall to have bounced
the ball against Anderson would
have had better support than he
received from his fumblirg team
mates who couldn't pass or receive
passes at all Some may say that
Anderson IL too individual in his
playing but he has TO be for he
stands head and shoulders above any
OF his mates and can not depend on
them for support.
Plenty of Fouls.
Brady Is the lad who saved Misha-
waka's bacon. The husky running
guard dropped in three from the
field and covered up in great shape.
Graves played an important part
in the Mishawaka passing as did
Hunt. The two forwards missed
plenty OF easy chances to score.
The game was pretty rough and
referee Cleary called plenty Of
fouls. Many escaped his eye how
ever and many were called that
were no where near fouls. He pick
ed on Mishawaka just as Johnson
picked on South Bend for their style
OF play and almost completely ig-
nored Elkhart's tactics. Hunt OF
Mlshawaka was robbed of two fouls
which he dropped in the net by the
referee because he is alleged 10 have
stepped over the line. BY Cleary.
