USUAL post season games dIIer L
Mishawaka closed it's season with
an overwhelming victory over Elk
hart. title claimant of 1924. The
score was 54 to 0. Emerson of Gary
breezed through the fall with a
youthful team and added it's fifth
season without defeat.
Technical of Indianapolis won the
Capital City championship with
victories over Shortridge and
Manual Tech was undefeated by
State opponents.
In Western Indiana
Linton stormed through a hard
schedule and defeated the best
among western Indiana teams. It's
slate was clean, as was that of
Gertsmeyer, of Terre Haute. Con-
sequently the western Indiana
Wabash Valley championship rested
in dispute.
Lebanon was indicated, but its
schedule did not include prominent
State elevens. Muncie closed with
one defeat only. that by Tech Of
Indianapolis, and Clinton played
tie game with Linton and lost to
Bicknell. Central Of Evansville
won the pocket" and Evansville
city titles, but was eliminated as a
State title contender at the hands
Of Bicknell, 8 to Z. Jasonville also
had a strong aggregation, as did
South Bend and Marion.
Since no title games were played
and the title crown is resting on no
particular head. 1t would seem to the
writer that Emerson of Gary and
Linton would have a hard time de-
feating one another. Emerson would
seem to be shade better than Mish-
awake, according the South Bend
players. Tech Of Indianapolis and
Gertsmeyer of Terre Haute follow
closely, with Lebanon not able to dis
pute the other, except to say 1t
was undefeated. 1t is hard to tell,
however, what would happen If all
these teams would meet in an elimi-
nation series.
Much Travelling
To select the men is another task
that will arouse the ire OF some and
the favor of others and rests some
what in the fact that it is a personal
opinion proposition. The latter is not
altogether true. In selecting The
Times all-State teams and honorable
mentions" the writer Travelled 5000
miles to officiate and see most of the
big teams In action
Sports writer's on papers who are
personal friends and officials over the
State were consulted and told to
watch the various men who stood out
In early season games. Coaches had
the pleasure to nominate their four
best men and almost invariably
named the men who were already on
the writer's list.
Ross Of Wabash and Shay Of
Emerson were the consistent
men of their teams, played wonder
full ball against all opponents and
displayed the stuff to make them
select half backs. They had all the
requisites.
Vardi came fast at Clinton, but
had the great Magnabosco, full back,
as interference, while Mendenhall
rose to heights In the last city
game with Wiley at Terre Haute.
K1ntz and Brady were both stellar
performers.
Great Full Back
Magnabosco, full back. holds his
position of all.State caliber again
this year and by his brilliant play
ing msde himself a popular choice
for many all.western Indiana
teams. He is a better all-round
player than either Johnson or
Risk. Babcock of Tech, Indian
apolis; Richendollar, Fl. Wayne;
Liggett. Muncie; Hoover. Boonvillle,
and Miller, Elkhart, were. great
players, but not as finished as
Magnabosco, Johnson and Risk.
