laurels before $4,000 cheering fans
at Butler field house Saturday
night, downing Earl Roudebush's
Winamac five in the last game of
the two-day Examinations, "a to II.
The Trojans were superior
throughout. holding at least a five
point margin most of the time.
They were in front Is to 10 at half
time, but the gallant Winamac
warriors battled all the way to the
finish.
Last Visit in 1926
1t is the first net championship
for Newcastle, their only other ap-
pearance in the big sixteen" being

Although Newcastle has had some
hne teams in past years, they have
battled Muncie in the regional plav.
and the Bearcats have managed to
keep the TrojanS on the short end
of the score.
In 1881, TrojanS led the Rearcats
most of the way in the regional
title game only to lose out in the
final minutes, Muncie advancing
through the final play to win the
title.

by Thoman, which resulted in near
rioting, gave the Trojans their one
point regional edge this year. the

crown.

Stout scored four points each To
match four each by Huffman and
White, and the teams stood dead
locked at 8 all. Reder gave Wilma
mack a lead with a field goal. but
Dakins came through in the pinch
with field buckets. White tossed
a foul and Huffman another two
pointer to give the Trojans a 1910
lead at the half
Reder Topped in couple to start
the second half and the Winamac
boys were up within one point of a.
tie, 1914. Then White and Tho
man connected for two pointers and
the Newcastle boys we're out in
front, never to be headed.
Trojans Freeze Ball
With a lead of seven points. New
castle reSorted to the delayed game.
and while it was unpopular with
the fans, it is an effective way to
win championships-and incidental
ly that was what Newcastle was out
there to do. 1t is the first title in
history for Newcastle and The
Times sports staff joins in con-
graduating the old Butler star.
Orville Hooker, and his team in
their victory.
Newcastle won their way into

While there are rumors around
the nation that this is a period of
depression and that it is a time for

business.

Stafford, and Percie c. Thacker.
Both are experienced and success
ful business men who have oper-
ated the Pioneer Truck and Trans

garage and service station business
and in a big way.
Tomorrow night they will throw
open for inspection by the public,
their handsome new Pioneer Stor-
age and Service Garage, at 765
Main street, making the occasion
a gala one with free dancing, re-
freshments and a cordial welcome
for all.
Their transfer business being
such that they do not feel they
can leave it, the partners have en-
gagged Leroy Davis as manager of
the new business. Better known
to many Ell Centrans as Roy, Davis
has had long experience in the au-

mess, and for several years was
connected with the local office OF
the Richfield Oil company.

Surprising the ring goers by 60
ing ten rounds without losing his
cork" the veteran Chuck Virgins
outpointed Benny Pouchstone, De-
troit heavyweight, in the main fstic
go at the Armory Tuesday night.
Weights were announced as 1919 for
Virgins and 1872 for the Wolverine.
Chuck annexed the honorS in the
majority of rounds and clearly was
entitled to the verdict. He employed
his familiar tactics of piling up
points at close range, but was fat in
his midsection.
Touchstone landed a singing
right frequently, but failed to use it
enough to keep Virgins away from
him. The local veteran concen-
trated on a lefthanded attack and
hooked his glove to both head and
body. There was no question but
that Chuck was in better form than
most fans expected. He upended the
water bottle between rounds in Gus
tomary fashion and was always
ready for the next bell.
TouchStone fell short of advance
