They have the size. They have
plenty of fighter they would not
be playing for John Adams. Walker
is mending from a scalded back, re-
ceived after the sectional a week
ago when a careless boy turned the
hot water faucet in the shower bath
by mistake. Saturday, Walker re-
ceiyed a bad cut over the left eye
but these injuries, with bad knee
received in football, can't stop this
young fellow.
Dawn Practices Carded
Adams is in the dark about his
first round opponent, having never
seen, secuted or heard anything
about Cicero, the dark horse winner
a Marion Adams is building a
basket supported from the floor to
accustom his team to the Butler
gymnasium. And Adams will have
his boys up bright and early for
drills this week, remembering when
he slipped up one year because his
boys didn't get warmed up soon
enough
Incidentally we mention that
Maurice Kenney at Wiley will send
his boys through "Glwn7 practice
session again this year, putting
them into action at $50 a. m. That
gets them to bed early and up early

Still heading south, the Times air
men next visited Evansville, where
they were greeted by Harry King.

Five Franklin Grads Coach
King, most fans will recall. is ain
old Franklin college player, one of
the five Franklin grads who are
coaching teams in the finals this
year.
Others are Noble Gke) Lyons at

Delphi, and M. c. CMose) Pruitt at
Connersville.
King thinks this Is BoSse year
or King year He recalls how he
had chance two years ago when
he defeated Vincennes in the after
noon regional fray only to be upset
by Digger in the night game. He
has been at Bose five years.
Mark Wakefield and his Central
five have dominated the Evansville
district in the past. But this year
is different. just the day before the
, sectional tourney, a dandy baby boy
was delivered at the hospital and he
was promptly called Charles Lewis
King, and already the photog-
raphers have snapped PA" King
with a basketball on one arm and
Charlie on the other.
Bosse Guard Out
Gilbert Gaupner, senior Bosse for
ward, is out Of the final games and
was out of the regional struggles be-
cause of blood poison in the heel.
Putting the wind behind us Arnett

Seymour Dark Horse
Lyons believes his boys can 60, is
convincing them that none of the
teams in the final games are un-
beatable and the thing to do is to
get in there and take Newcastle
in the second game, Friday morn
ing. And they look like they have
the stuff to be a real dark horse.
Arnett hardly had raised the nose

Columbus was negotiated, all is not

Frank NeWson hardly was satisfied
with the work of his boys Satur-
day when they piled up a lead of
1873 in the first half and then
went stale until Franklin had
climbed within one point, 10 to Is,
in the third quarter Columbus got
busy and piled up five more points
to one for the opposition and got
away with the game.

foe, had a seven point lead on Co.

in overtime by one point. Columbus

Tech and Tim Campbell told us
after he had erased Danville from
the local sectional Saturday night
that his boys played their best
basketball of the season in that Co
lumbus game.
On to Connersville in quick time.
and there was Nose Pruitt to meet
us.
"RushVille always puts up its
greatest fight against u.s. Pruitt
said and Saturday was no excep-

SpartanS spent the rest period
planning on an attack built around
Craig. Tvs minutes before the game
resumed, Craig became i'll and was
out the third quarter. Rushville
went into the lead, "a, and Craig
came back. ConnerSville scored ten
points to the Lions five in the last
quarter, and the last came when
Craig shot and the ball had not
