TECH winds up with a North
Il Central Conference tilt at Ko-
komo Friday evening, a game that
should boost the Green and White
into a tie for second place with An
derson, with loop average of .750.
LOgansport wins the conference IL
tie.
Shortridge'S Blue Devils finish
their regular campaign Saturday
night, entertaining Delphi in the
north side gym. Manual has two
battles listed, meeting st. Paul here
Friday night, and going to New
Bethel Saturday night.
Broad Ripple concludes its sched-
ule at NobleSville Friday night, and
Washington entertains Brownsburg
Friday night. Southport finishes at
Greenfield, also on Friday night.
And that will be all until the first
sectional meet whistle a week from
tomorrow night in the big gym at
Tech, where sixteen Marion county
and indianapolis quintetS will start
the first round of games.
Tick ANDERSON, sports editor
- of the Evansville Press, writes
that the Evansville regional tourney
probably will see Bose of Evans
vile, Dale, Patoka and Tell City in
action. Remember that several
weeks ago Blackboard said Bose
probably would come to the state
tournament from that region?
Nothing's happened so far to change
his mind.
A FIT. Wayne sports scribe took
issue with Backboard'S state and re-
gional tourney winner picks, saying
that probably not more than half
of the sixteen Blackboard nominated
would show up in the Butler field
house.
Some time ago Blackboard said if
he hit so per cent on the regional
winners he would start Immediately
coming commemorative medals for
himself. There probably will be
three or four dark horses slip by
usually there are-and many of the
regionalS, not to mention the Sec
tionalS, are nip and tuck all the
way.
TTAMIL GOODWIN, Bedford
i I varsity forward, will watch the
game from the sidelines for a while.
Coach Bayue Freeman suspended
him for violations of training rules,
clamped down on his regulations for
the team, and announced that any
member found breaking them would
suffer similar penalty. Fred Ber-
eta probably will replace Freeman
at the sniping berth.
BY the way, Kunnel Stranahan,
it's ''farther"-but what's the differ
ence, or the use in looking beyond
that? Do you admit now that Techs
a point better than the Newcastle
TrojanS? The old comparative
scores argument, again. Tech, %;
Shelbyville, II. And last night:
Newcastle, 20; Shelbyville, Is.
The Irish string along with the
Blue Devils, or at least one Irish
man does. If, he opines, Birr can
hold Townsend down, Shortridge
can beat Tech.
Dear Backboard-Just q loyal Cathed-
raIite sending in his compliments to Tech,
Shortridge and Cathedral. Everyone seems
to think Tech will win the state. Maybe
so. But there is one good team I think
can stop Tech and Company. That team
is Shortridge. Birr, Shortridge's big pivot
man is capable of holding down Town
send. and if he does / think Shortridge
will win.
Now to get back to my alma mater.
Although Cathedral hasn't looked good in
the city games, take it from me C. H. S.
Remember. Cathedral 10 the national
Catholic champ.
