OFF OFF BLACKBOARD
HE BY VERN BOXELL

E7ANS who like their basketball
Il well done are to be given just
that this week, in both college and
prep circles. Seventeen topnotch
college games and nunberless high
school contests are on tap.
TOPPING THE HIGH SCHOOL CARD
Is THE FIRST OF THE ANNUAL WASH
NGToN AND YINCENNES BATTLES AT
AIICETOWN FRIDAY. WHEN THESE
TWO SOUTHERN RIVALS GET TO-
GETHER. THEY GIVE MORE MEANING
TO THE WORD FIGHT" THAN ART
SHIRES EVER DID. OF COURSE, THE
HATCHETS HOLD A DECIDED EDGE ON
PAPER, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THEY'LL WIN EASILY. PETE ELLIS, THE
VINCENNES SCRIBE. AND ED BROUlh-
IETTE. OF WASHINGTON, ALREADY
HAVE PLAYED THE FIRST HALF OF THE
GAME, AND HAVE GONE BACK INTO
HISTORY TWELVE YEARS TO PROVE
THE STRENGTH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE
TEAMS.
And that isn't all. Rushville and Con-
uersville have a little dispute to settle
Friday, and the same holds true for Shell
byville and Seymour. Connersville holds
long advantage. but the game isn't IN
the bag" It's little different in the
latter game. Seymour tumbled before Bed
ford last week, but may surprise the
Camels.
Clinton will attempt an 'iron man"
stunt, playing Linton tonight, Wiley of
Terre Haute, Friday and BOsse of Evans
vile Saturday. If they come through that
list unscathed--get out another trophy for
Coach Paul Kelley.
Horace Mann, undoubtedly one of
the states best, opens the Gary city
series opposing Emerson tonight.
This one is cinch.
XXTOULD is be too rash to say
w that on the strength of last
weeks games, the twelve best in
the state are Washington, Frank
fort, Logansport, Columbus, Frank
lin, Horace Mann, Anderson, Tech
nical, Martinsville, Connersville
Kokomo and Vincennes.
| OLSON'S TERRIBLE "SWEDES" AND
NOTRE DANES "IRISH'-TWO OF A
KIND. CARIDEo AND SAVOLDI, TWO
OF THE MOST NOTED FRESHMEN
ARE ITALIANS. WAPP AND WEST
STARS WITH THE "SWEDES," ARE
PRODUCTS OF HASKELL INDIAN COL
| LEGE, AND ARE REGARDED AS TWO
OF THE BEST REDSKINS EVER TO
TREAD THE HARDWOOD.
. y
Incidentally. the Swede's are in town
tonight. to meet the Indianapolis Big Four,
bringing with them their trick passing
game. including the famous back hand
toss.
Indiana and Purdue, the "Hoosier
Twins" get into action this week
end. The Crimson cagers oppose
Pitt at Bloomington Friday, and
Purdue opens the season Saturday
against the strong Washington OF
st. Louis outfit, the same bunch
that toppled Indiana in an early
season tilt last year. In fact, they
/ lost only one last season and may
give Piggy Lambert's charges a
| little trouble.
To say that Pitt will extend the Hoo
siers would be putting it mildly. Pitt
ranks near the top in national standing
and Captain Hyatt. forward. is considered
the best forward in the country by nc
less an authority than Everett Dean, the
I. o. mentor.
Butler Bulldogs also get under
way, opposing Manchester and N
A. G. U. Friday night. Manchester
with Everett Chapman and Kari
Kilgore, all-state players in theil
prep days, will give the Hinkle men
a real workout.
De PAW. following its surprise triumph
over Indiana viii journey to Terre Hautt
to oppose State Normal Thursday, whilt
Notre Dame entertains Albion college Of
Michigan Friday.
ITO make it complete, Ball Teach
l. ers college of Muncie. Oakland
! City, Vincennes, Evansville, Earl
ham. Danville Normal, Franklin
