Il Il saw operating on the beam
ten feet up knows his business.
Blackboard is reluctant to mention
the shower of sawduSt in his hair,
on his desk, and in his lap, for the
saving gentleman is largely respon-
sible for the general safety here

But let's get back to basketball, to men
ton an ancient cage rivalry that is riv-
airy. Butler and Notre Dame have played
twenty games over a long period of years,
each has won ten, and the score totals

game tie will be broken on Jan. %, when
the Bulldogs meet the Irish in South Bend,
and Notre Dame will appear in Butler
fieldhouse Feb. "a.
aporte-Michigan City cage battles al
ways are hot fights, but the one Friday
day before the contest. WI was Unusually
rough. Twenty personal fouls were called
on the Slicers, and three players evicted

Red Devil players lost via the personal
route Michigan City won, SO to 20 and
while the Steers hit six out of eighteen.
ID USSELL AAGEBERG, Ham
IN mon eager, is ineligible, and
his school may be asked to forfeit
three NIHSC conference games.
Blackboard talked this over with
Arthur L. Trester, secretary of the
Indiana High School Athletic Asso-
citation the other day. and picked up
a straight line on the rule through
which Aageberg is ineligible.
Aageberg attended Hammond high
school three full years until 1882
He did not enter in the first semes-
ter of last year, but did return in
January, and played on the varsity
basketball team. The fact that he
had been in school during three
previous seasons and that he played
last year-even though only part
of Automatically makes him in
eligible for further competition, Mr.
Trester said. Indiana high school
players may not compete more than
four years.
It's little early, Mr.. Trester told Back
board for any dope the state tourney.
Plans haven't been made yet. but Back
board believes the state meet will be con-
Quoted this year as it has been in the
past, with sixteen teams starting final
play on Friday and concluding the meet
on Saturday night Some agitation crop
ped out after the tournament last spring
for tourney change to provide less strain
on the teams, and although Mr.. Trester,
in an IHsAA bulletin then, offered several
suggestions along that line to high school
principals, he said the only response was
from one principal who asked that no
change be made.
Greenhelds victory over ConnersviIle

Spartans need reserves. They had to in
sert a pair OF second stringers who'd al
ready played one game in the last half Of
the Greenfield encounter.
