NINE UedIlS IIldJ Will W 1l6IG UIl1O
weekend are making their first ap-
pearance in Indianapolis since the
tournament finals games began
here in 1921 They are Princeton,
Hartford City, Jacksonville, Wa
bash, Brazil, North Judson, Bates
vile, Hammond and Jasper.
Many Strangers
Although Technical of Indian
apolis is not a new face, having
been runner-up in 1929 and Sec
ond round loser in 1881, and Leb-
anon made an appearance here in
1882, the other two teams are al
most as much strangers as the nine
who have never been here.
1t was back in 1923 and "a when
Morton of Richmond last played in
the finals here. North Vernon made
it's only appearance in the Hoosier
metropolis in 1926.
Logansport was the only team
that really breezed through their
regional clashes Saturday. Coach
Clifford Wells five, conceded to
have more than an even chance to
win the championship shield this
weekend, galloped through Brooks
ton and Camden.
Close Call for Tech
Tech had the scare Of it's life at
Anderson. Plainfield was out in
front of the Capital city five most
of the way and tossed away chances
to tie or win the game in the last
minute. The Quakers finally went
down to defeat by a one-point mar
gin, 1918, Past that afternoon
scare the Tech team came back and
walloped Anderson at night, 20-13
to win the regional.
Ligonier dropped Angola out of
the race with a 1922 afternoon
verdict, but saw a free throw in the
last five seconds find the net and
give Beaver Dam similar margin
over them in the night struggle,
1888.
After dropping Shelbyville from
the race 30-27. North Vernon re-
fused to be stopped and went over
time at night to nose out Franklin,
1925.
Blue Saves Greencastle
Princeton gained a tWo-point win
over Dale, 21-19, and Greencastle
was forced to show a lot of latent
power to down both New Richmond
and Pine Village.
Hartford City, in breezing
through Ossian and Huntington,
labels itself as more of a threat for
the title every minute.
Lebanon nosed out West Lafay-
cite in the afternoon struggle,
1888, and then upset Frankfort,
1922, in the night session.
Brazil Comes Through
In a thrilling scoring bee Brazil
outdistanced Bloomington by the
scant margin of two points, 1878,
and then took Linton easily. Bates
vile, after an easy win over Gull
ford, had too much power for
tired Rushville team that had been
extended to defeat Connersville
1926. BateSville galloped home a
winner at night, 1884.
What it took to lick Kokomo, 23-
81, in the afternoon, Upton lacked
against Wabash at night and the
Apaches won, 28-17.
Newcastle Wins and Loses
In one Of the greatest defensive
battles seen in HooSier basketball
in years, Muncie and Newcastle
battled to a 90 regulation game
verdict, but Newcastle, who held
20 lead at half time, held Muncie
scoreless in the overtime and scored
five points itself to win 14-9. I'm
doubtedly the strain cost Newcastle,
and Richmond took the 1882 state
champs at night, 1912.
North Judson edged out a 1929
overtime win over Nappanee and
Hammond went overtime to nose
out Valparaiso, 1917.
When Vincennes went three over
times to edge out Washington, Is
"a, in the afternoon, the Alices I'M
doubtedly taxed themselves and
Jasper had too much for them at
