played at Technical gym this year" ask
Freddie and r. D., intimating that may
be some one is looking out for Tech"
Freddie and p. D. evidently haven't
learned that much of the success of any
amateur event depends on the profits from
the gate and that to rent Butler field
house, the only other place suitable with
larger seating capacity, costs TO little
sum. What difference does 1t make? Tech
probably would win il they played in the
basement of the statehouse.
1--WE picked Tech to win the sec
tional and regional, but I don't know
how far they will go in the state, .
writes Huck Finn. Which isn't
original.
Dear Backhoard--I an much surprised
at your pick of Frankfort as you have
overlooked Muncie. Don't forget that the
Bearcats have been right up in the money
in every recent tourney.
We didn't overlook Mann Gle.
We looked them over and decided
that they're good with Mann, but
without him, not so good. And it's
hard to tell just when one man,
or a Mann, will leave the floor.
Indianapolis.
Dear Vern-I'm wishing you success on
your selection Of Frankfort. and Short
ridge success IN the Journeys. However, I
want Tech supporters to understand that
if Shortridge is unable to take the Sec
tional. I will be pulling for the Green to
be in at the finish. And I believe Manual
will give all the city teams run for their
money. I think that some of the stuff
written by Shortridge and Tech hackers
is not only silly, but very unsportsman-
like. I've been backing shortridge since
1920, and am still with them.

Dear Backboard-For Your information
and Hazzy silyerburg's, A. R. Stages
coached the 1917 state champions at Leb-
anon.
Silverburg recently stated that the fact
that Stages had never won a state tour
ney kept him out OF the "best coaches"
class.
From other letters, we learn that: The
only way that shortridge will clean up
in the sectional Is to sweep S. H. S. jer-
seys off the floor after they play Tech;
according to Meredythe NH. o. Alstatt
is picking Washington to win the state
Felix probably will be on the sidelines at
the state finals, but he'll be pulling for
Tech instead OF Shortridge, in the opinion
of Catherine-Tech will wallop Shortridge
again, according 70 Tom and Marge-and
that Techites we're little anxious over
the Shortridge-Tech game in the city
tourney, but what ridiculous surprise 1t
turned out to be. and Tech will do it all
over again. That's the way Lois sees it.

Carmel.
Dear BoxeII--we are in the Upton sec
tionaI and we'll see you at the regional
at Indiana polls. Carmel won the Hamil-
ton county Big Ten with sixteen wins and
four losses during the season.
GUS Fl. FAN r.
Cicero should have something to
say about this.

Ode to Tech
Listen. Tech, and listen well,
To things that I'm about to tell.
Even with all your blowing,
Tech won't make real good showing.
At the sectional. all will be white and
blue.
Tech, why talk, Shortridge is too good
for you.
Why can't you know your place.
Shortridge sets too fast a pace.
You're going on last years rep.
Even Eleanor says you lack the pep.
Last year you were good, Wen agree,
But this year we're better than you, see.
Wishing Shortridge marry an III,
am. yours truly, The Shortridge LII.
