pOrtunity.
1t seems Goshen dislikes the idea of
Central and Riley, South Bend high
schools and Mshawaka. being included in
the Goshen sectional tourney play. The
Goshen gym has been crowded to capacity.
2,SOO,sin past years with just ten EIhhart
county teams in action. and with the
additions, they don't believe they can
handle the crowds, they say.

Leroy Edwards of Tech is quite a red hot

games with 46 points in five games, a 81
average. Kessler, Anderson's chief dis
turber of the draperies, tops the league in

ten. There's reason. In six conference

that isn't news. But when they lose,
that's news, boy, that's news"
Get out the 96-point type. Mr..
Editor, Columbus is coming to JEFF

Dear Boxen--It seems there always is
plenty Of. material in your column con-
pie. ] know the Ripple season schedule
DOESN'T look SO impressive, but don't for
get them around tournament time.
Do you happen to remember the Broad
