HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL IN
STATE REACHES GRAND CLIMAX
AS TITLE STRUGGLES START

pionship resting in the halls Of one Of the
Indianapolis high schools are not even
visible this year. All three of the big
City quintettes have chalked up poor
records this season and are looking to
the sectional and possibly farther only as
chance to redeem themselves. In fact
the Indianapolis teams have done so
poorly that grave fears are expressed In
some circles as to one of them winning
the sectional title-and this is going to
make the Coliseum play turn into one Of
the most thrilling district meets in the
State
Not this year, as in the past two, is the
local sectional going to be a three
cornered affair between Manual, Short
ridge and Tech. That is, if the records
of the three teams throughout the season
tell anything. Manual, Shortridge and
Tech have all tried their county contem-
poraries this year and have not found
them wanting. In some cases their coun-
ty rivals slipped over wins In some cases
the local athletes were victorious, but in
practically all cases the games were hard
fought.
Getting down to brass tacks, though,
