MORTON SUBSTITUTES
START TEAM ON WAY
To WIN over FISHERS

F1SherS high school proved TO have
a basketball team just as strong a
it had been heralded to be when it
faced Morton high school at the Coli
scum Friday night, and it took Coach
Little'S wrecking cr7w of second d.
vision players to get the game started
toward victory, which finally mate
rallied in favor of Richmond, Al to
81. With the score standing % to Il
against them at half time, Fishers be-
gan to fish" for long shots and pro-
duced with enough of this variety to
tie the score at % all.
AT this stage of the battle, Coach
Little substituted the entire second
| string men for the regulars on the
floor, much to the CONSERVATION of the
fans. 1t proved to be the wisest bit
/ of judgment which nas been seen on
4 the local floor in years.
/ Fans were hilarious throughout the
| second half. Everybody was on his
| or her toes in anxiety from the time
/ Fishers started its rally at the start
! OF the half until the regulars Of Rich
mond had finally run up a winning
lead. Outside of tournament time, the
| display of enthusiasm was the highest
4 which has been seen here for many
seasons. Coach Little provided the
fans plenty of food for thought when
he successfully handled the game in
4 an interesting manner

The second division players com
/ posed of Rooney, Rizio, Jones and
Price fought the Fishers team to a
standstill for a time, but finally the
visitors were able to obtain % to
rs lead over the yearlings, who were
having bit of tough luck in basket
shooting. The yearlings were getting
the ball down the floor much better
than the regulars had been doing
With about six minutes of play, the
Red and White mentor sent his first
string men back into the fray one by
one, until they were all in the game
and the rally began. The score stood
81 to 81, and the uproars of the fans
SO drowned the referees whistle that
: it was difficult for him to work. Only
few more minutes of play remained
Fishers had been making uncanny
long shots at the basket, which haC
so gracefully put them in the fight
with a team which is considered ony
. of the best in Indiana. The predica
, ment was a trying one, for the fans
who thought their athletes could no
produce with the necessary points Il
| win. However, the members of the
team became more careful with theil
play and worked the ball down unde1
Fishers goal four times for sho1-
shots. Two other points added from
the foul line completed the scoring il
: the game.
2 Muey Works Effectively
: Muey, Price and Kessler put up bat
2 Ting games for the Red and Whit,
/ five most of the contest. The forme
r player was exceptionally good on IN
derbasket shooting. His form on thi
: sort of difficult shot was the facto
in Richmond getting out Of seVera
2 close places with Fishers.
a For Fishers, Castetter was the sta
. performer with four field goals an
. five counters from the foul line. Alon
side him was Rose, floorguard wit
