That old adage about restraining
from leaping to conclusions can be
referred to indianapolis scholastic
grid fans when keeping the wires
hot on the subject of local high
schools. Technicals three defeats
in row at the hands of Elwood,
South Bend and Male High of
Louisville should not be taken too
seriously.
Technical is a much better team
than it has been given credit for.
You can take that or leave it. Ell
wood and South Bend both happen
to be plenty tough and this CORE
spondent happened to be on the
scene of action when the east siders
took a 40 to 6 lacing from Louisville.
Tech probably never will play
Male High again. The Kentuckians
resemble in size and power some of
the biggest college teams in the
State and without doubt could put
up a battle against any outfit.
After looking the Arsenalities over
once more at Tech field Tuesday we
happen to have much more respect
for the Green and White. Coach
John A. Mueller always has been
noted as fine grid mentor and
when Mueller sends his boys out to
mix the fireworks up with Short
ridge and Manual in the annual
city series they are going to be in
good shape.
Not only good shape, but plenty
