ment which is to be held Friday and

ed until late yesterday noon. Teams
which are entered are evenly balanced
and one of the greatest tournaments in
the state is predicted when the game
opens on Friday evening. There are
a few favorites In the tourney but
that doesn't always go. the team that
is capable of winning will no doubt be
the strongest in northern Indiana. and
each individual will be out to night

have waited for such a meet. say 1t Is
the best thing Hammond has done for
a long ume in the sport game.
Teams who are entered have played
some fast games this year and they
are expected TO show greater class in
this tourney. Hammond leads the
entry field with nine teams, thus Civ
ing her an advantage to win the
tournament, this however, Will not
come true, as the Columbia A. c. OF
West Hammond is a dark horse in the
tourney. Also the East Chicago Dodg-
ers and the Owl lights OF Whiting are
a. dangerous quintet

place Wednesday and teams entered
can receive official dope in Thursday
nights Times IN which the officials

reason is plain. Building Is the eoun-

Everyone knows that building

That competition has been active

cording to the United States Geological
