RIDCEVILLE FAVORED
IN WINCHESTER MEET

WINCHESTER, Ind. Feb. 2S-Coach
Harris Ridgeville high school basket
ball team is being picked by the fans
here as the winner of the district
tourney to be held at the Smith arm
DRY here next Friday and Saturday.
Coaches Allen and Huber of the Win
chester team, which is conceded to be
a possible winner. declare that they
will give Ridgeville run for the
money; however, the dope is being
given out that Ridgeville under the
skilful guidance of Coach Harris, is
nearly certain to win. Winchester has
the advantage of playing on their
own floor, but their team has had
several severe drubbings at the hands
of the Ridgeville bunch.
Union City and Farmland claim they
will be the winners but local fans de-
clare they have no chance Ridge
vile has lost but two games during the
season Quite feeling exists between
the Union City and the Winchester
team, the former asserting that they
cannot get fair play at the Winches-
ter armory, and the latter refuting
the statement.
There will be fifteen teams entered
in the contest with Ridgeville, Win
chester, Farmland and Jefferson lead
ing in their order The business men
of the town are helping the teams
in financing the tournament and pre-
parations are being made to entertain
a large crowd.
