Just when everybody expects Mr..
Wells to go out and win himself a
championship his boys fold up on
him and it's slow music aud flow
ers. On the other hand, when the
Berries are just another team look
ink for the x to mark the spot
where they get bumped off, they're
sure to step out and cause lots OF
grief for the big boys.
When Mr.. Wells opened the 1878
campaign, he had a lot of veterans hang
ing around and everybody expected him
to burn up the state. But things didn't
click Just right. One night they per-
formed like champions and the next night
they turned up with a bad case of round
heels. About four weeks ago, Cliff decided
to do something about it. He got his
boys together in Berry Bowl, locked the
doors and started work. Even a Sherlock
Holmes couldn't get a look in on Cliffs
practice sessions. And when they stepped
out they started doing just what every
body thought they should do ali year.
Their latest victim was Frankfort-the
same team the Berries bumped off out at
the field house last spring. And a couple
OF coaches who were parked in the bleach
ers said Mr.. Wells boys played the kind
of basketball against the Hot Dogs that
wins state championships.

Maybe Cliff has been playing smart and
is going to sneak up, on somebody. He's
down here. First of all. he has plenty
to worry about in that sectional, which
Friday and Saturday. If f'f he comes Hnesef out He4 of
that. he still has Delphi and Peru in the
ffegbio 10 And 70, Gifts an awful little guy
his going through right nowl
OF all the beginners, Mr. Pete
~ Jolly probably is in the best
spot and MI. Tim Campbell in the
highest. Although Mr.. Jolly's
Muncie Bearcats are defending
champions and have been bouncing
along at a dandy clip in recent
games, the common people can't for
get that mid-season Steve Brodie
the Magic City boys staged and
are leaving the Purple FASTENERS out
of their title calculations. Which is
a big boner on the part of the COM
mon people. Any way you look at
it, MI. Jolly's Bearcats probably will
be in their playing against ole
Backboard's Vincennes Alices in the
second round Of the state tourna-
ment.
And now Wen turn TO Mr.. Tim Camp
bell. Tim is another well guy. but he's
been given N awful humping around. BY
some of us who claim to be his nails.
We've been telling you all about Tins
chances of winning the state, and for no
apparent reason. Techs season record is
just like many, many others. But all the
dopesters have been figuring way ahead
of Tim. They've been counting on what
he's going to have at tournament time.
This has put good ole Tim in a hot spot.
In case your interested, OLE Blackboard
is expecting Mr.. CsmpbelI's big boys to
come through this sectional. but they're
going to battle through a miniature world
war before they get there. And ON March
IL. Tins boys are going to bump off An
dersOn and DanvilIe and be among The big
sixteen down at the field house. After
that. all they have to do is beat my AIices.
Muncie, LOgansport and Frankfort and
win that hunk o. wood and silver for In
dianapolis. Yeh. all Japan has to do is
whip China and win a war. too.
And ole Blackboard still is pick
ing Vincennes!
