F7Ioh school dark horses galloped right
through the sea Of pre-tournament dope
in many sections over the State Friday
and Saturday and rs a result quite rev
unheralded and unsung aggregG tons are
going to compete in the regl)nal play
Saturday while the erstwhile faVor1teS
OF several sections stay at home ana
turn their attention to track and base
ball.
Manual students knew all along that
f6air team would win" Tech was some
what Of a favOrite. This was more true
before the tourney at the coliseum De-
gan, for during Fridays and saturday 5
play Manual hackers increased steadily
in number while Tech followers grew
more fearful as each succeeding game
cOntrasted the strength Of the two local
rivals. Both teams entered the nnaI game
on an even footing. and based on the
dope at that time, the result was not an
upset but before the tournament got
under way Tech was an undeniaDle
faForite.
Down IN the Mooresvflle section was
found the faultiest dope bucket Mar
tinsville, tri-State champions, and one
of the few teams to score 3 win over
Franklin this year, was expected to skip
through the district without any trouble.
True, some OF the wise ones picked Mon
rOvia 10 prove a stumbling block in the
but not PittsbOrO. PittsbOTo, rank
outsider before play began, tripped
through the tourney, removing all OF
the teams that were expected TO worry
Martfnsville, and then topped things on
by downing the tri-State champs by a
one-point margin. Manual is going to
try tc ride this dark horse in the re-
gionai ulay az Bloomington next Satur-
dav ana reports from MOOresv1lle are
10 the effect that the local boys will
have tc learn lot OF horsemanship ana
hold on light il they are TO gauop
through to the final tournament.
Upsetting favorites IN every game, At
wood swept through the warsaw district
and ErabE=1 on the title saturday night.
The team was lot conceded 20 have an
outside chance before the tourney, b1c
proved its class by fighting through q
hard schedule to the championship.
Fishers handed the Iopesters at Ko-
komo a hard jolt by winning the sec
tionaI honors Of that district rather easily
The record Of the Fishers team this sea
son has been good, it having lost only
four games, but it was nor considered
formidable enough to cop from the gal
axy Of strong teams in the KokomO dis
trict.
More favorites fell by the wayside at
South Bend when Goshen plOwed through
for the championship. Michigan City and
Laporte were the heavy favOrites before
the tourney.
KendaIlville followed the dope per
fectly up to the final game in the Fit
Wavne sectional and then struck q
Enag in South Whitley. The result was
one Of the biggest upsets in the State.
After eliminating Richmond in the
afternoon rhe strong COnnersville ,-::m
went on through to the championship
Of the Richmond district without great
deal Of trouble. The fight was supposed
10 rest between Richmond and Corners
VILE with Richmond holding the edge
but COnnersville eliminated the TaVorite
by 4 double score.
