Or The
Blackboard
BY VERN BOXELL

WHAT happened to Ander-
w Son?"-that was the question
fired at your correspondent from
all angles today by bewildered fans
And if you can tell ole Blackboard
what happened to Tech at Corners
vile. Froebel at Valparaiso, and
Vincennes at Bedford, to mention
few, then you have the answer to
the first question.
Upsets are becoming so COM
mon they aren't news any more. A
game that runs true to form gets
the play
City fans should take Muncies 43
to % triumph over Anderson on
the Indians home hardwood with
the proverbial grain of Salt-make
mine two grains, Joe.
Not that Everett Case would go
around throwing away ball games.
especially conference games and
eXtra-especially games with Mum
Gle. But the Bearcats aren't that
good-unless Pete Jolley has been
fooling the boys all along
Jolley can coach basketball for ole
Backboard'S shekels any day in the
week, but he didn't have the ma
terial to work with this year He
used the same players against An
derson he did against Tech and
Frankfort in recent starts. And the
Bearcats lost both of these games.
Muncie's improved play probably
can be pinned on the slender shoul-
ders of young Bob Schuck. An all
state pastimer in his sophomore year
and a great ball player last year he
started this season in mediocre style.
He appeared tired of basketball. But
he came to life Saturday against
Anderson, with six field goals.
With Schuck and Keinfelder in
the lineup and playing in their best,
Muncie is tough-tough enough to
be among the sixteen finalists with
apologies to Mr. Stranahan. But
Muncle 43, Anderson 29-you figure it.
The old theory that a bird in the hand
is worth two in KokOmo was proven nv
the Bearcats. On the first tip-oH of the
game. KleinfeIder pumped in a field goal
from the center circle. Came the second
tip-of and Kleinfelder galIOpeds under the
hoop for another two points. Two PLAYS.
fifteen secondhand Anderson trailed. 4
to 0.
Less than minute later. Bob Schuck
fired one in-three shots. three field goals
for Muncie. In Just three minutes. il was
10 to 0, Munce, and they could have
stopped the game right there as far as
Anderson was concerned. The count was
% to 10 at half time.

must now move over and share the
glare with Shortridge. Kenny
Peterman's boys bounced back from
that city tourney trouncing by the
Techs in gallant fashion. A victory
over Cathedral is worth plenty of
cheering-but a decision over Shell
byville is a real achievement It was
Shelbyville's second setback in
eighteen starts-and the Mackmen
haven't been playing in the minors,
as you no doubt know.

Red Barrows pays both ends of the
floor for Bloomington. He performs at

Washington never lost game to Cen

fort never has lost to Washington. The
Hot Dog jinx worked against the Hatchets
again Saturday.
FrOebel of Gary won fourteen in a row.
When Valparaiso held the Blue Devils TO

fans the handwriting on the wall\
1t happened Saturday, ValpO getting the
nod.
Everett Case was on the sideiines when
Tech tumbled to Connersville Friday. Mr..
Case and Mr.. Campbell are crazy like
foxes. Incidentally. Tech hit fifteen goals
in thirty-nine shots against Connersville,
and that is Glass hitting.
You can now mark Peru down as

Columbia U. repudiated TechnOc-
