Der the work OF jim seward ana

ought to suffice to put the new
scrapperS on edge.
TECH'S Green Grenadiers face a
Il tough weekend, with two
North Central Conference foes on
the horizon. Tech goes to Rich
mond Friday and entertains Muncie
Saturday. All three teams were de-
feated in their latest starts, Rich
mond by Newcastle, Muncie by
Franklin, and Tech by Frankfort.
Stop me if you're laughing, but it
is Backboard's opinion Tim Camp
bells FASTENERS are more likely to
tip Muncie's Bearcats than Morton's
Red Devils. The Jollymen have a
Friday night encounter with Ko-
komo to live through.
Broad Ripple and Manual will fur
nish the second intra-city engage
ment of the season at the Manual
hardwood Friday night. ElwOOd's
Panthers will meet Cathedral at
the local gym. Coach Rowland
Jones' COntinentals, the only local
team to win game last week, have
a scrap coming up with Danville at
the Danville goalry.
MIR. MOON BAKER, who used
1V1 to keep the cage statistics
straight for Trojan fans III the
Newcastle Times, is keeping weather
statistics and the like cleared up
for the city editor of this news
paper at present. Moon took look
at the 1884 statistics yesterday and
his fingers itched for the sports key
board again. He scratched EN- off

4 LACK and alas, something has
"A been amiss in this column.
Tech needs warning, and Plain

signal. Dear sir" chirrups he, 81

in your column, SO find it neces-
sary to enlighten you. Plainfleld
has practically the same team that
gave Techmen the scare of their

''This," said Blackboard to him
self as he ripped open another en-
velop, must be message from
Shortridge" The return address on
the outside indicated it came from
way up north-at least as far as
Thirtieth-st. Contents of the enve-
lope proved that Backboards intui-
ton had not erred. The letter is |
somewhat unique, in that, springing
from an early Blue Devil devotee, |
it is unnervingly conservative. Here |
it's;
Hello Backboard-I am glad to see you |
back. So far this season the best we boys
and girls on the North Side can do is cross |
our fingers and be optimistic. II seems
that Kenny ePterman's Blue Devils can't |
get started. But. of course. that is no
sign they won't. Maybe +he third time |
viii be a charm and well send the Green
castle Tiger Cubs home crying Friday
night. Shortridge is not alone in her set
backs. City teams all seem to be having |
tough time this season. I'm bet the !
city tourney will be good.) Cathedral has |
US all puzzled.
Since prospects are so uncertain, I'm |
not going to ineriminate myself by saying |
we're going to win Friday. But I'll guar
antee the Blue Devils will work smoother |
than they have so far this season. I re-
main. LITTLE WILLIE.
Figuring the city tourney ought to |
be fast because all the teams viii
be slow, Ell? Mmm-sumpin' in that.
