TINE wise guys who have been
4 handing Mr. Ihsaas purple toga
to this club and that one had a
few wrinkles today.
You can't laugh off that Anderson
~, Shelbyville % thing at the In
dians' Wigwam Tuesday night.
Furthermore, Everett (Slicker)
Case has the boys pretty well
crossed up about his lineup. He
started a half-and-half varsity
reserve outfit against the Shelbys
Tuesday, and ran up a 81 to 10 score
at the half. 1t was a ball game
for most of the first sixteen minutes,
but the final half was a waltz for
Anderson and a nightmare for
Shelby.
Simpson and Faulkner, lanky Ne
gro substitutes who have been
pastiming regularly of late while
some of CaSey's boys ride the bench
for discipline, started Tuesdays
game. but wound up watching the
so-called varsity boys at work.
Eleven Anderson players saw &C
ton. Mailman, the early-season
center flash, came back to earth and
bagged five field goals when he
finally got into the game. Clutch,
another who strayed from the
straight and narrow, also was
given a chance and dropped in four
baskets. Just to help matters along,
Rub and Smith also got a quartet
of two-pointers each, while Chill
ders played a bangup game at
! guard.
Lackey, Wright and Shepple tried
hard for Shelby, but Anderson was
just too much.
Mr.. Cases Indians aren't the
vanishing" kind, it seems.
And Greencastle cracked Brazil with
much gusto So to II: Anderson. Logans-
port. Greencastle. Tech-eenie meenie.
miney, m-oh!
Logansport and Columbus will be the
scenes of this weeks major attractions.
At the Berry bowl. Cliff Wells Logans
get the next shot at Anderson Friday night.
Case and Wells waged many hardwood bat
ties while the Sicker was at Frankfort.
and when they get together there's bound
to be plenty of fireworks. For instance,
that 10 to : game few years back be-
tween Case and Wells-coached teams which
introduced the well-knOwn stall to Indiana
fans.
One of the oldest and most interesting
rivslries in HoOsier basketball will be re-
newed at Columbus Friday night when
Frank NewsOm's Bulldogs tackle Shelby
vile.
Columbus has been pooh -poOhing all this
Shelbyville ballyhOO. The Bulldogs dropped
a 80 to % overtime tilt at Shelby few
weeks back. But Columbus claims they've
improved plenty since then and will take
the Mackmen Friday night and in the Sec
tionaI.
This one should be thriller. unless New
som and Mccullough decide to withhold
their fire until sectional time. which they
probably won't.
EOR the local f1lberts, the out
L standing attraction is the
Shortridge Manual struggle at
Shortridge on Saturday night. No
matter how tough the Blue Devils
may be, and they're just that this
year, Manual always makes the
north side five step high and fast
to get the decision. And the Red
skins will do it.
Meanwhile, Shortridge is keeping
an eye On the following week, when
Greencastle comes to town. You've
heard Of GreencaStle-.
CPIKE KELLY, who turned out
- championship football teams at
Clinton for several years and
brought his basketball five to the
state tournament in 1928, is slated
to tell Crown Point athletes what
it's all about. next year.

ball, is coaching at Sullivan this
