half back for the Indians last sea-

Kokomo scored four goals against

mat battle that ended early today
in a victory for Browning.
Angered when the 11:15 p. m.
deadline of the state athletic COM
mission forced Browning and Sa-
voldi TO leave the ring with the
match undecided. the fans tore
chairs loose from the floor and
hurled them into the ring. They
smashed the gallery railing. Spec
tators were imperiled by flying mis-
Siles. The demonstration lasted
thirty minutes before six police riot
squads arrived.
The squads we're not needed, how
ever, for Browning and Savoldi

the ring and the rioting died down.
The match ended twenty-nine
minutes later when Savoldi missed
a drop kick and Browning fell on
him for the third and deciding fall.

II VERY ingredient of the formula
T. for a headline tilt is included
in the atmosphere of this game.
There are few schools in Indiana
between whom the rivalry is more
intense than the Panthers and
Stonecutters; both are top-rate
ouintets, figuring prominently in Sc
lections as prospective material Tor
state tourney competition; and the
closeness of the score of their first
encounter in Bloomington adds to
the prospect of thrilling fracas.
n
NNE of our old pals comes back
~ to the contributors society.
And with her comes another tribute
to a great team and a great player,
Tech and Townsend.
y
Dear Blackboard:
when you speak of Tech you always
mention Townsend, but very seldom say
anything about the other players. III
admit everything you say about Johnny
is true. but we also have other players
who are just as good in their respective
positions. Did you ever see better guards
than Jackie WOerner or Oats Dobbs, or
better forwards than Gervais Fais, Har-
wood Hair or Dale HUT? If 1t weren't
for the rest of the players on the Tech
team Townsend wouldn't work some of his
famous tricks. Did you know that Town
send averaged eight points a game in the
city tournament? I'll say that is good for
any man with three men guarding him
whenever he gets the ball.
They say that Tech can't win from
Shortridge three times in a season. Well,
wait until the sectionaIs and well show
them that it is very possible, if we get to
play them. Don't forget Southport). A
certain young man from De PAW was at
the tourney. He was Earl Townsend. (Re-
member him?). How about another
Logansport-Tech game with Johnny play
ing?
DOROTHY FROM TECH"
ID ACKBOARD anwSers: And if it
O weren't for Johnny'S famous
tricks Tech would be just another
good basketball team, not one of the
top quintets in the state. Sure, the
other boys are good. The best testi-
monial of that is that they're play
ing on the Green and White team.
And Blackboard WOULD like to
watch another Logansport- Tech
game-with Johnny playing.
We're glad to have you back in camp
again that is. unless you start: Now,
let me tell you about my operation But
I daresay you won't-there's too much
