Il Did Ole Blackboard surprise 'em?
More money changed hands on your
correspondents picking 'em" Thurs
day than the total war debts pay
ment of France to Uncle Samuel
this year.
A majority said it would be Lo-
gansport. Many said it would be
Tech. A few knew it would be
Greencastle-and they were the
WinnahS!
Several of my Tech friends are
burned down and disguised. The
rascals think ole Blackboard is a
double crosser. Several flaming
epistles were tossed on to your cor
respondents desk this morning.
Blackboard would like to publish
some, but, after all, this is family
newspaper.
But here are a few remarks
by Johnny Smith" CD from Tech,
typical example:
Mr.. Boxell: thank you, Johnny.

crazier than I had given you credit for

final tourney to the first good team it

then I'm fighter. did you. enter the
Golden Gloves tourney, Johnny?)

CONSIDERABLE Roadway to-

wood champion of Indiana will be
made today in Mr.. Trester's Office.
Schedules for the March marathon
will be draWn-and if you don't
think the schedules aren't going to
do lot in determining Mr. Ihsaa's
new ruler, you should rush to the
nearest physician.
And then there's that little mat
ter Of Anderson-will they promise
to be nice boys if Mr.. Ihsaa lets
them play with the rest of the
schools, or will Mr.. Ihsaa show An
derson out the back door? That,
too, is very important question
It's rUmored Anderson will be on
the outside, looking in.
Marion established a new record in the
game with Hartford City last Tuesday
night. The Giants doomed away at the
basket forty times and connected once,
late in the second quarter.
Charlottesville hasn't been seen in a
state tournament since 1928. 1t would be
just like the Athenians to decide to turn
over a new leaf this year, since they play

Greencastle is being picked by you know
who to win the state title. Use. Use.
Piggy Lambert had four guards in the
Purdue lineup that bumped Northwestern
last MOnday-COttom, Shaver, Moore and
Parmenter. The fifth man was a center,
Dutch Fehring. who was playing forward.
Piggy also got into a game over at Column
bus last week.
Sleet, dusky Connersyille forward who is
one of the states leading scorers, calls
himself nasty names when he misses a
shot, they say. Sleet. your correspondent
wishes to inform you. is man of few
words.
NER. TIM CAAIPBELL'S Techs
1V1 are in for a very busy eve
ming Saturday. Kokomos Wild
cats, who thrive on upsets, are
coming over 70 visit the Campbells.
Kokomo's travelling center, who an
swers to Ellers, is expected to give
our Edwards quite run for his
money.
Tech wants that North Central
Conference title. The only way
they can get it is to bump Kokomo,
while Logansport. present pace
setter bows to Frankfort. It's a
good bet the Techs will do their
part but Frankfort may find its
assignment a little too tough. From
Heron, Logansport is going to be
tough!-(Oh, you punny manD
