THERE are Round to be some
Il merry arguments in the six
teen regional centers tomorrow as
many old-time stars come back to
bid for the bright lights and head
lines again, and as a few dark
horses stick in stubborn demand
for a place among the Hoosier cage
luminarieS.
One of the merriest should be in
Martinsville, despite the absence of
Glen Curtis Artesians from the
competition. For the first time in
eleven years Bloomington survived
the sectional meet that annually
matches the Panthers and Martins
vile, and will compete in regional
meet against Brazil, Wiley of Terre
Haute and Linton. Off hand, the
fracas between Bloomington and
Brazil at 3 in the afternoon seems
to promise the most excitement.
Another ENHANCEMENT that should
take on the appearance of a con-
vention of thunderbolt manufacture
ers is the affair at Vincennes, where
Washington and the Alices, old time
rivals for the trip to Butler field
house, fear each other but fear Jas
per more. And who is there to say
that the Muncie- Newcastle party
will touch even the hem of drabneSS?
Just to mention few of the 9TH
erS that should be interesting:
Rushville- Connersville, w a S h.
Kokomo- Marion. and Hammond
Michigan City-Valparaiso.
