TWENTY straight. That's no

Indiana high school team.
which many fans never have heard
about. We're telling you now
about Waldron H. S. The club had
won seventeen contests up to last
Saturday, and by taking the Shell
by County tourney boosted its to-
tal to twenty.
The team has not played any OF
the schools rated among the
strongest in the State, but don't
think they couldn't give most any
y of them battle. The five will play
in the Shelbyville sectional, and
Columbus and Shelbyville had bet
ter not hold them too lightly.
WaIdron has no "sinaH town"
Illusions about being the best in
the world. That's one thing in
their favor. This attitude helps
rather than hurts and it is due
TO the good common sense of the
principal and coach, Thomas
Fogarty.
He believes in his boys and they
most certainly believe in him, but
he also realizes the strength of OPP
ponents he must meet in sectional
tourney play.
His club plays classy brand Of
ball with much clever passing,
working the ball down the floor
for under the basket shots. Twin
brothers are two of the teams
stars. Leonard Miller plays a for
ward and his duplicate, Bernard,
jumps center.
Too. much credit can not be
given Coach FOgarty, who has
developed the team. His players
are steady and know exactly
what they are doing at all times.
And, even more to their credit,
which reflects back on to the
coach, they are not swell
headed"
They do not think they know it
all because they defeated the
smaller teams in their neck OF the
woods. They are the best of sports
men.
Thay are big leaguers in every
sense, although the town they rep
resent is small. We can think OF
no better compliment to the boys
their coach.
