GINCE I am a young and reck-
~ less fellow, and do not care
what people say about me, 1 am
going to risk my 1000 picking
average and tell you that Tim
Campbell's Tech boys are going to
knock off the high and mighty
Muncie Bearcats tonight.
Ole Blackboard has attempted but one
prediction right out and out, and Muncie
came through to fulfill it by knocking off
Alexandria, and he is now batting LOCO.
If Tech wins tonight. it will be 1000, for
local win over the Bearcats would be
worth just that much.
big problem even to such master mind
as Ole Blackboard, who is fully aware
that right now Muncie is the latest and
best thing in PaSkes6ab FlrS Wbe on Mr.
Campbell sets his heart on anything, wig
giles his mustache, and tells the boys Whag
to do, then nine times out Of nine ana
one-half, you can bet that what he wants
is going to happen.
Although Mr.. Campbell has not been fool
ish enough to come right out and say he
is going to beat Mr.. Pete Jolly's bows. he
has given every indication that his ideas
are along this line. On his ali too-fre-
uuent visits to Muncie. your correspond
ent invariably has stepped on Mr.. Camp
bells toes sometime during the evening.
1t is not smart thing to go around
stepping on peoples toes and I 10 not
make a practice of it. but Mr.. Ghandi goes
around without any pants. so I am en-
titled to at least few minutes of fun.
Mr.. CambeIl has seen the Bearcats, in
kOmo and several other teams, and he
knows lust about what it will take to
beat Muncie. l am not sure that Teen
to bump off these ferocious BearcatS, hut
they do have one big asset in size.

TXTHEN Tim sends his Green and
w White boys out on the hard
wood tonight, all of them will be
above the six-foot mark. Liehr and
Earl Townsend, the forwards, reach
up six feet and three inches to
comb their locks, and LIE Roy Ed
wards, the center. packs six feet
four inches and 100 pounds up and
down the pine strips. GLADDEN.,
who is playing better ball than last
year, is a six foot two back guard,
and Willis, who will be at floor
guard, also gets above the double
yardstick measurements. Gauker,
who has been out all season with
injuries, may start at guard, but
his presence will not white any
size from the starting group.
If any of the boys should get rough and
be chased to the showers. then Johnny
Townsend, six, feet two, and William
to go to work. Dischinger, who is giving
Edwards a real battle for the center job,
is six two. One of the smallest men on
night when Tech needs points, is Wayne
Huston. a speedy forward and sharp
shooter. capman and Purcell are other
Tech reserves.
I dropped in at Tech Thursday after
noon.
We'll, we're going to try mighty hard"
was Tins reply to our query. You see, it's
a smart thing to go around and check up
on the boys before making these serious
predictions, just to see that you aren't
going to get the old run-around.
d
There will be no special defense for
Jack Mann or any other Muncie player"
said Tim. Wen just go out there and
play our very best and try to beat EN-"
AS said before, when Tim says try"
he's Just saying half of it.
Wen match Edwards against Mann"
Which means that lie ROY of the big
Primo Cameras; is going to have a very.
verv busy evening. In fact. Techs ball
game Just about falls on his shoulders
And I can think of no better place to
put it. especially since this Edwards guy
has been hitting the blacksmith's master
piece with quite a bit of regularity and
has turned in some bang-up defensive
games this year.
