CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind. Nov
Z1.-Authorities today believed Jesse
Roach, u. found dead on the bank
of Sugar Creek near the city dumps
here Thursday afternoon. was ac-
cidentally shot by one Of three boys,
who were hunting, Wednesday after
noon.
James Roach, a brother. found the
body almost twenty-four hours after
the boy had disappeared. The
family had not become alarmed until
late Thursday because the lad was
in the habit OF spending nights with
friends.
Edmund Newlin. Is. and James
Roach went hunting Wednesday.
George Roach, another brother went
with Jesse. The two parties met
near the dumps. James told Coroner
J. B. Griffith and Police Chief Nern-

The body was found near that
spot.

Defeat South Manchester After Being Outplayed in First Half

After being outplayed and appar- ently beaten in the first half of the game with the South Manchester High school team, the N. B. H. s. ag- gregation of ball tossers staged the we'll known comeback and won to the tune of 32 to 22 at the State Amory Saturday afternoon.
 Not little credit for the win goes to "Johnnie' Grip, who has been out of the lineup for three weeks with an injured knee. With his team in the rear of IT to II score Johnnie" was put in the lineup and as usual, he came through. Although his knee handicapped him some he neverthe- less put much spirit into the team, and they proceeded to play sensational basketball.
 The team looked bad in the first half. The boys could not seem to shoot, their 'passwork was wretched, and they couldn't seem to hold the South Manchester team in check no matter how hard they tried. No one player seemed to be alone guilty. They all shot, and missed. Although Belser missed many of the opportuni- ties offered him. his work on the whole was far better than the others in this half. The score at half time was F to II in favor of the Silk Towners.
 The Red and Gold team started the rally that brought them victory in the second half when they ran up their score to IS before the South Manchester boys could get point. The Silk Towners went into the lead for the last time in the game on field goal. From then on it was neth- ing but New Britain. They showered the hoop with field and foul goals. With about ten seconds to go the sub- stitutes filled four of the positions on the team. One play was completed before the game ended. Those who played were. Barrows, Haber, Bennett and McGrath.
 "Howie" Belser again starred for the Red and Gold team, getting just half of his teams points. He scored six field goals. and four from the free throw line. Beloin his running mate at forward also played well. Mike" Zwick was the leading performer for South Manchester, Although he was not the leading scorer for the team his floor work was the chief factor in their game.

The Red and Gold team showed some classy pass work. This together with tho excellent offensive work of Darrow and Haber. and the good de- fensive work of Gierochowski, Bar rows, and McGrath helped the team on to victory. The Hardware City team took the lead in the first part of the game, and held it until the end. The South Manchester team could not score in the first quarter due to the splendid guarding of Barrows and McGrath.
 The real stars of the Red and Gold scrubs were "Midge" Darrow, and Lefty Haber, the forwards. Both worked well. and should be heard from before the season is over.
