Dear Veru-Although we discussed the
Columbus-Frankfort basketball game from
all angles during our ride back to In
dianapoIis, Saturday night, was some
what disappointed in that you did not say
anything really pointed about either the
Bulldogs or the Hot Dogs In Monday s
story.
You know how feel about It. think
that Columbus has the greatest four-man
team in the state, and that firmly be-
lieve the team could be rated as the most
dangerous of all the titIe-contending
teams In the state If the sixth man was
consistent enough to win the position held
by the fifth man.
don't believe il is necessary to men
ton any names. II Columbus fifth man
had been at all effective in Saturday
nights contest there wouldn't have been
any overtime, as you mentioned Monday.
Columbus needn't feel hurt. The New
son team is one Of the fastest, one of the
most skillful, and one of the gamest, even
IL there is lack of coordination between
brain and muscle at flashes. Columbus
really has great team-the greatest

forwards" What an awful sur
prise they have coming when they
learn that one of these teams will
never get to the fleldhouse. They
meet in the regional, Boots and
Betty.
Dear Backboard-Now that shortridge
has beaten the team that defeated Tech
some shortridge students wonder how Tech
likes it. Tech beat us. but on their repu-
tation. The Blue Devils were rather tinid
about playing that city tourney game
tn be different in the sectional.
TWO TRUE BLUES.

We expected that letter.

Eleanor, Techs staunch supporter, feels
much better after the Anderson victory
She was inspired to write q long letter
filled with thanks, forgiveness, praise, anc
warnings.
Dear Backboard-I was among those
fortunate enough to witness the Column
bus-Frankfort basketball game Saturday
night at Columbus and ever since have
been stirred by the urge to break into the
public prints.
Hardly what can be described as q pro-
feSsional writer OF 'letters-to the editor
type" nevertheless. I feel constrained to
call to your attention the somewhat lack
adaisal manner in which the Columbus
team was run from the bench.
Why wasn't this fellow Holland put into
the lineup when it was evident Collier
was. to say the least. houndering? Fail
ing that, why wasn't Holland given a call
when it was equally evident that Beck
