Just One GueSs-What
Are We Talking About

Dear George; There is Just one
thing this town is talking about to-
day, George, and that is basketball.
1t may seem kind of funny to a
person outside of Indiana that q city
should be all excited about some high
school basketball games. but they take
1t seriously here.
I dropped into a cigar store and
right of the bat the man behind the

it is unless the fellows that go to

these schools haven't got so many
parties and dances and things to so
t. and have more time to give to
something important like basketball.
Now look at these towns like
Lyons and Perrysville which few
Ieople ever heard of until their teams
got in the finals. They beat bigger
schools to do it and some school like
that might fool EN- and cop first
honors. 1t has been done.
Three Big Things
But then VincenneS might come
along and cop it after all. You know
there are three big things that have
happened TO Nincennes since it has
