Little Bobby Stranahan. Newcastle Scrib-

title winner and two DAYS later saw his
favored SDartans tumble to his own Tro-

dachshund while wearing ton hat and
waving the Trojan flag. The unbearable
part Of it all was that Stran couldn't
use the smail-flOor aIibi which most New
castle victims dot would be an adms-
sion that Bobby refuses to make.
Nashville must have been playing under
blankets when il lost fifteen games in a
row. The Lions have beaten Columbus
and Franklin in the last two trips out,
Franklin bowling 40 to 25. And is Con-
nersville worried?

Fate and the gentlemen of the
press who drew the numbers out of
the aforementioned gray fedora
balanced up the good breaks with
the bad ones when they paired up
the I'll teams for sectional, regional
and state tournament play last
week.
For instance, right here in In
dianapoliS, if everything happens
according to Hoyle, Shortridge and
Tech should take their knocking
down exercises next Saturday night
at o'clock out at the east side gym.
Which means there will be many
more nickels tossed on to the drum
than if Tech and Shortridge had
met in first round fray. eliminat-
ing one of them right at the start.
This, of course, is ignoring the
fact that Washington might slip I'D
on the north siders, as the Cont
nentals almost did last Friday night,
and that Southport or Manual might
sneak up on the Techs.
Just the opposite occurred at Jefferson

bany for first round struggle Friday
afternoon. JEFF likes the Albauys like Fido
adores Kitty, and vice-versa.
Shelbyvile and Columbus will have il
out in the semi-inals at Shelby, and you
can get your pennies covered either way
you want to wager on this one.
EIkhart and Nappanee. two of the tough
est in their section, also hook up in a
first round fray, and it's another tossup
affair. The winner has to tackle Goshen
in the finals.
Evansville should see some red-hOt ex-
hibitions, with Central in the top bracket
and Bosse and Reitz in the bottom.
Lapel and Alexandria get together right
at the start at Anderson, and the winner
undoubtedly will take the place of the
late lamented Indians in the regional.
Jonesboro, unbeaten in twenty-three
games. will get its long awaited shot at
Marion In the final game Saturday night,
barring complications.
Bloomington and Martinsville also are
in opposite brackets at MartinsviIle, and
there will be plenty of excitement when
they get together in the finals.
Bedford and Mitchell should collide in
the finals at Bedford, and Frankfort's big
worry about the unbeaten Michigantown
team, which has won twenty-five straight,
will be ended in the semi-finals. one way
or another.
Up at Gary, where it's dog eat dog,
Froebel and Whiting are in the top group
and Roosevelt and Washington of East

In its first sectional game, the
Tiger Cubs tackle Cloverdale. Next
on the list is Marshall, unbeaten in
twenty-five games this season. And
in the finals it will be Proctor and
company of cambridge, 1882 cham
pions of the wabash Valley. That
~ schedule is soft like concrete.
And Greencastle'S two toughest
regional foes must be disposed of
by the Tiger Cubs before they buy
train tickets to indianapolis. Ed

the first game and probably Craw-
