The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-22

Donnie Matchett, KOkOmO'S faShy
leader, held goal-less. In fact, Dom
Newcastle defense until the final gu;
Newcastle's Trojans won, 1912,
The first half was defensive battle
royal, but the Trudgers began click
ing after the intermission and,
though the score does not indicate
many baskets made, the hometown
ers worked under the iron circles
frequently for pot shots, a "too-
much" percentage of which were
missed.
After watching the entire game,
Blackboard still is uncertain as to
who guarded Mr.. Matchett. A first
glance would reveal M. Van Hoose
on the Kat sniper's trail, but just
when you had settled down to the
fact that to Van Hoose was going
the credit, 10, another glance would
show Myers or Huffman clinging
to Donnie like snow to windshield.
Donnie had averaged about 712
points a tussle in five conference
contests before the Newcastle rout.
Cleo Maddox put Peedad Camp
bells Kats off to the right start by
connecting on three successive
shots. Three tried-three good
score, 60. Marvin Huffman rifled
goal and Myers hit a gift toss to
raise the count to 6-3 at the quarter.
Rohrer, forward, rang up three
points for the invaders while New
castle was chalking up four to set
tie thing at 81, KOkomo, at half
time.
The entire Kat team was held
goalless in the last half. Three fouls
were the best the visitors could
muster The Campbellmen took IA
shots, but practically every attempt
fell short of the hoop. 1t wasn't
sign of sudden weakness in the
Wildcat flipperS-it was a warning
that the Greenclads of Troy have a,
defensive setup that will take a five
man offensive battering ram to
pierce. The Trojans shot II times
in the third period and connected
but once. The Kats shot "a times
and hit five during the game.
The Newcastle warriors are size
able with fair distribution of hulk
and height. Myers and NJ Van
Hoose are thick and husky, WileS,
and the capable Huffman brothers
are of the tall and spare variety.
The KatS are fast and tall, but
their collective and individual net
ting eyes appeared sadly missing
after the first period last night. Ell
lott, the duSky center, goes way up
in the air when he takes off from
the center circle Matchett was par
ticularly shifty under the basket
but it's goals they pay off on.

starts, took to the skids last night
on big push by Mitchell. The
Mitchell snipers tripped the Stone
cutters, "a to Is, and, according to
reports, hit the hoop from anywhere
on every kind of toss.

gliding into the groove as the top

Anderson had taken three or four
punches in a row and appeared to be
hanging on the ropes. Richmond, carry
