4 N oversight is called to Back
L n boards attention:
Dear sir-In The Times why pick the
winner of every regional except Martins
Vile? You do not need to pick Blooming
ton, but do not ignore our regional when
picking the winner ppG Of every other; Ind
Backboards apologies sincerely
offered, Mr.. Brown. More than a
month ago Blackboard chose Mar
tinsville to return to the state tour
nament this month via the Bloom
ington sectional and their own re-
gional. At that time I said there
was a chance that the Panthers
would spill the Artesians in the sec
tional. and added that if that hap
pened, my choice then lay with Bra
zil. And it still does Leaving the
MartinSville regional out the other
day was a tumble, quite uninten-
tional. The pick is Brazil.
TTERE'S a great sportsman, Little
l. l. Willie Of Shortridge, who has
been one Of Backboard's best con-
tributors and one of the Blue Devils
staunchest hackers this season.
Dear CarI-welI, Tech beat Shortridge
and COPIED the sectional So what?
Personally 1 expected nothing less than
this, even if I did say Shortridge would
win the state.
but 1 think the Campbellmen will beat
them. As for Logansport and Newcastle
Gf they go to the state) Tech ought to
eliminate them both.
Wishing Tim Campbell and his boys lots
of luck, yours until next year
LITTLE WILLIE OF S. H. s.
A ND another Shortridger casts
"A his lot with the Green and
White to go on to victory in the
regional and state meets.
Dear Carios-As the parade of Indiana s
best basketball teams marches on to the
Butler fieldhOuse, perhaps you will pause
to hear a short word from one team which
We're still proud eff our team at Short
ridge. and we have nothing but congratu-
lations and best wishes for the masterful
Tech FIVE. I think / can speak safely for
the entire student body at ShOrtridge in
saying that Tech has really proved itself
a better team, and therefore we are glad
10 get behind the Green and White and
cheer them on to victory in the state
tournament.
Coach Tim Campbell exhibited a rare
bit of strategy in holding back Doobs last
Saturday. l really believe he planned to
keep an ace in the hole just in ease the
Blue Devils battled into the lead.
Now that the Blue DeviiS hare been put
out of the race Until next winter. I'm sure
every one out at Meridian and Thirty
fourth streets is backing Tech to win and
bring Indianapolis its first championship
title in the I. II. s A. A.
This probably viii be my last contrib,
but like the Blue Devils Ill be back next
season. Incidentally. three of the varsity
members will be back for ShOrtridge next
year 1t viii be our turn again to take
sectional honors. and get a crack at Mr..
Ihssas crown. Meanwhile We hope Town
send and his mates will clean up the state
within the next two Saturday nights.
