OFF THE Blackboard
by VERN BOXELL,

IF Anderson needs to do anything
Il more to prove it is the best team
in the state, it probably will be
done. There isn't much question
about it now. If you don't believe
me, ask any of the many coaches
who saw Mr.. Everett Cases boys
put the Indian sign on Mr.. Orville
Hooker's Newcastle Trojans Satur-
day.
They all laughed when Mr.. Case
sat down to play. His first note
was a sour one. Alexandria pulled
all the feathers out of the Indians
in their first start under Everett's
direction.
Followed days and nights of doubt
and hope. Came the Muncie Bear
cats, and down went the indians
again. And then Tech took 'em!
I'll have a team. just wait,
said Mr.. Case after the Bearcat
humping. Il just got hold of these
boys and they're learning fast"
As usual, Mr.. Case was right. The In
dams reached their peak against New
castle a week ago. There was some COM
pIaint about Kessler banking one off the
rafter hut it counted and Anderson won,
IL to Is.
This brought forth some StranahanumOr
s'They 'rafter u.s." beamed Kunnel Bob.
(Get it?) That's what 1 call being
KiIgore-d."
Friend Robert probably is convinced to-
day that there is at least one team better
than the Troians--at least for the present.
They have to do 1t all over again on Feb.
2s in charity game at Anderson.
1t does not follow that since Mr.. Case
leader that the soxy fellow will DO wearing
another crown after March 10. He has
plenty Of trouble in his own seetonaI Win
gional. the Indians will find the local Sec
Iional winner, the Greenfield sectional and
the them. A Even YER II Anderson gets into the
final sixteen, a lot of the boys will be
cunning for Mrs. Cases scalp.
One look at the Anderson schedule in
dieates shat Mr.. Case will have plenty of
time TO get his boys reaSs for the
Examinations. In four weeks. the Indians
have four games. exclusive Of ssse Newcastle
charity ray LCUduOHs AokahSpuAts NNh-
trail of TT. WAYNE and Hartford City sre to
be met in that order.
Kessler is Anderson's present hero. The
same coach who passed out bum steer on
a certain team saws Kessler Is the pest
court this wear. From here. it looks like
he's right this time.
IL will take more than two set backs
nv Anderson to keep Newcastle down.
THEY'LL probably fIy high the rest of the
season. Maybe they'll tumble to Muncie
for reasons as obvious to you as to ole
Blackboard, but you can throw that one
out.
And I am thinking I'D some real nasty
words for the guv. who first remarks ABOUT
derson some weeks ago.

A ND take look at Frankfort
IN When Mr. Case moved over to
Anderson, some of the scribblers
drew up the obituary for the HOG
Dogs. But at the current writing
Mr.. Slim Bausman's Fighting Five
is very much in the race. Their
progress has been parallel with An
derson's-a slow start and coming
fast in the stretch. They'll warrant
some close watching from now on
=
II were an optimistic CHAP. which
am not since Newcastle made wooden sol
diers out of this Tech team. ! would SAY
that Mr.. Kenny Peterman's boys have
shaken their slump. At any rate, hold
ing Cathedral and SheIbyville to close
counts on consecutive nights is no cas-,
task. And since the Blue Devils accom-
pIIshed this last weekend. maybe they'll
get back in the running after all.
