4 a. this season, with the excep-
ton of holding the Washington
Hatchets to a one-point margin in
the Horsemen's first game of the
season, has fallen far short OF pre-
season expectations, will have a
chance to regain some lost pres
tige against the undefeated Lo-
gansport quintet at the Berries bowl
tonight. With Pete Kos out of the
lineup. however, the Wellsmen are
figured to hold heavy advantage.
Kos is the center and one of the
mainStays on Keith Crowns qu1n-
tet which almost gave Hoosier net
fans real upset souvenir in the
state tourney last spring while play
ing Frankfort.
Logansport, reputed' to have its best
team in history may miss Ray Steinmetz,
the sparkling floor, guard, but their
victories over VincenneS, 80 to Is, and
Newcastle. 80 to %. fail to show it. Coach
Cliff Wells may be forced to get along
the rest of the season without Ray. whose

Horace Mann looked good in its
first game against the Hatchets, but
Norman Very, the venerable Gary
scribe who knows his Indiana bas-
ketball thoroughly, says:
"In our mind, Horace Mann is far
from being the combination it was one
year ago. The team isn't working as
smoothly as 1t did. Maybe time will
bring a change for the better, but the
HOrsemen seem to have become imbued
with the idea that they need only to
put on mites and got forth to win.
They have played some great bau when
the need became apparent in the few
games already disposed of, but there Is
drastic need for Just that same kind
of play at all times"

Just in case you have forgotten. Horace
Mann has the same lineup that played in
the semi-f1nals last year. Maybe they'll
look better against frst-class opposition.
We shall see.
Felix" a Shortridge high school
writer, asks us why we don't give
Shortridge more publicity, and then
goes into detail explaining why We
should. Blackboard saw the Blue
Devils take it on the chin from
Marion after leading most of the
way. Just a little more cool-head-
edness and the north siders would
have been able to check that des-
perate Giant rally which cost them
victory.
Also saw Tech Saturday night
against Greenfield. Maybe the
board of directors will have a few
things to say later about the Camp
bell men. Right now, we'll let Hazzy
(StatisticS Silverburg, who watches
the fouls at Muncie, tell you why
the CampbellS fell:
"Tech last night was In the same stu
alton that Muncie faced in the first two
weeks of the season, for the Green opened
its schedule only last week against
Rochester. So Campbell hasn't had suf-
f1cient time yet to work his remaining
veterans and second team recruits into
smooth-running combination"

Tony not only knows his stuff; he
