are the sixteen teams who will thresh it
out for the highest athletic honors of the
state hardwood. What do you think of
them, Blackboard?
In my opinion the state championship
will be decided, not in Butler fieldhouse,
but in the Anderson wigwam. You prob
ably are thinking but what about Logans-
port?" Well Tech will answer that
question, if Young America doesn't beat
them to it.
Anderson. don't forget Alexandria Is
always tough in the tourney, and that
goes for a green and White combination
also in accordance with their sectional
rivals.
Blackboard, what do you think of the
idea of Tech giving Shortridge the sec

Introduced as Michigan's hero

himself by insisting there was only

With the basketball season fast fad
ing away and only four games re-
naming, Indiana universitys net
men will attempt to get above the
500 mark with a victory over ILL
nois here tomorrow night.
The Illini defeated Indiana at
Champaign by a 1926 margin, Feb.
10, and put an end to the growing
hopes of the Hoosiers that they
might get a share of the top place.
It was after this defeat that Coach
Everett Dean resolved to try out
some new combinations in actual
game fire, and the lineup for the
second game with Illinois is doubt
full.

of the clubs"
Other observers have pointed out
that the Giants have shifted from
their Los Angeles training camp to
Miami this season. John McGraw
took his team from Sarasota, Fla,
to California for the 1852 season
and they trained on the Pacific
coast in 1888 also.
Brooklyn trained at Miami last

was too warm down there to bring

What did Mr.. Heydler think of
the Giants chances. Well-in the
first place, he was not in a position
to make any public predictions, and
in the second place he was unable
to arrive at any conclusions for
his own private use.
We'll just have to sit back and
watch" he explained. I'VE might
have a fair line on the race by July
4. wouldn't bet on that though.
I've never seen the clubs apparent
ly so evenly balanced before.
There are more player-managerS
in the league than ever before. That
may have a bearing on the cam
paign. No one knows what, if any,
effect the uniform ball will have on
teams like the Giants. The So
called live American League ball
didn't seem to bother them in the
last world series with Washington.
Perhaps those were exceptional
