why a night at GreencaStle is
not missspent. Pictures of De
Pauw's most beautiful girls are
on display.
TIN looking over the race
track entrles for today one
cannot help but notice the
Washington Handicap at New
Orleans. But just what thorough
bred to play" is quite question.
George is one of them and Wash
ington another. There is a sit
uation upon which the bunch play
ers should ponder deeply.
Personally, we never could think
of the Father of his Country as
George. But there are many IA
miliar guys around race track
nEho would slap the first Presi-
}ent on the back and greet him
Just like that. Those probably
will put their dough on George.
Others, who are more conserv-
ative, with respect for greatness,
and more reserved in their man
ner, will place their coin on Wash
ington. 1t might be a good plan to
play both across the board. George
Washington certainly used to be a
winning combination.
Coach Lambert of Purdue
gave Wheeler a chance in the
Wisconsin game Saturday. Did
that clever forward deliver? Well,
he made five field goals and
three fouls. Is that delivering?
1UTLER freshman basket
IN ba1lers go to De Paw to-
III night to tackle the Tiger
Kittens. And we give De PAW
fair warning. Look out for a
young White Bulldog pup" He
has some of the earmarks of
Buffers Chadd and De Pauws
Ward. He lost q tooth the other
night in the Franklin game, but
he still retains his bite.
go
10 Is better to have had the
victory brick" and lost than
never to have had it at all. This
Is especially for Technical High
Schools benefit.
Coach Hill of Kokomo High
School has his team at the very
peak of form right now. Can he
keep 1t on edge for another month?
IA great deal depends upon con-
y2lition in the final tourney games
the State championship. Some
believed that Martinsville was a
bit ovedrawn last season. Is
Coach Curtis trying very hard
these days? We just wonder.
Spring must be nearly hero.
We saw a GreenIeaf today. His
other name Is Ralph. If you
don't believe this go around to
Coolers billiard parlors this aft
ernoon or night.
Evil cannot remember the time
IW when Manual, Technical
~ and Shortridge were play
ing as consistent basketball as
they have done recently. All of
them have been stepping out. They
are no longer door mats for any
State club. They battle the best
to q standstill.
Last weeks record was inn
preSsive. Manual defeated Balm
bridge and South Side of TT.
Wayne. The Red and White
beat Fl. Wayne by larger
score ON Friday than Muncie
was able to run up on Saturday.
Technical defeated Vincennes
Friday on the southern Indiana
teams home floor. An extraor-
binary feat. On the next night
the local five lost to Bedford only
after struggle. That's plenty
good on the road.
Shortridge went down to Rich
mond and defeated Morton High
School. q team that downed
Franklin and was nosed out by
4 Connersville only after an over
time fracas.
1t looks as though there are
three dark horses in this city.
They are dark just because other
schools are not used to such
competition from indianapolis.
Some State critics and coaches
are overlooking the higIl-class
ball being played by the Hoosier
capital teams.
