and a fourth team, Connersville,
will go the rounds. Friend James
Sloan, WHO angles off Sports
Slants in the Marion Chronicle,
types Blackboard a little info on
the event. Says jim
Drawings have been made and
will send the Marion Giants
against Martinsville at p. m.
The COnnersville SpartanS will go
into action against Frankfort at
3. At 1880, the losers will play,
and the tourney finals are set for
$3.50. In 1924, 1927 and again in
1888 the Martinsville net snipers
won the state title, to take their
place along with Franklin as
triple winners Of the state. Frank
fort grabbed the title in 1925 and
1929, while the Giants captured
the crown in 1926"
jim would remind you that all
four coaches are HOoSier veterans
Curtis, Case, Pruitt and Hooker.
And, I say, Jim, you should
warn our three toga-wearers to
watch ConnerSville. Those Spar
tans have total lack of regard
for the purple stripe - you'll
understand what I mean after
p. m. Monday.
TINE largest tournament of the
l. state began this morning at
Gary. Eight teams are in the
field, with four detachments de-
Tending the steel forts of Gary
against four invaders. Emerson,
Froebel, Horace Mann and Lew
Wallace, all of Gary, and Ham
mond, Whiting, Roosevelt and
Hobart are the contestants. Emer-
son, by virtue of six victories and
top position in the western divi-
sion Of the Northern Indiana
Conference, get the pre-fnals nod.
XXTONDER how overlooked
w that Charlottesville victory
over Waynetown, making it TWO
wins for the Athenians

Techs athletic teams don't have a
nickname Green and White, or
Big Green, is the best they have .
and Green" often-times reads quite
uncomplimentary. :. Why couldn't
the Techmen be called the Can

original never heard it before
in this state or any other state
just a thought. Franklin.
which shares the big-time unde-
feated spotlight with Logansport
and Jeffersonville, will not play
until Jan. 4. Reports from
Greencastle have it that Floyd Bee,
the star Tiger Cub forward, has left
school and will not return until
semester.
Yessir, the sovereign state of In
diana, home of poets, authors,
statesmen, artists, and basketball
colQmnists, also produces far more
than its share of brilliant hardwood
wizards. Wherever you find a
Hoosier cageman on a university
quintet he usually is making good
in a big way. Paul and Robert
Humke, Anderson brothers, nave
tailed so per cent of the Milwaukee
Teachers College points in their
basketball campaign to date. Paul,
a center, has rolled up 40 points
while Bob, a forward, has contrib
uted 81 points. Yep, our Hoosiers
have their good points.
Every one posters Santa Claus
for a present or two over the
Yuletide, but no one ever thinks
to give Santa Claus anything-a
basketball team, for instance.
Santa Claus. Ind, has no hoop
team. And that's quite dilemma
for a Hoosier town to be in.
CLIPPED under the door this
~ morning was a little card
from Manual which read: "Just
call me RED AND RONG! P. s.
But there will come a day, Joe"
Which is direct result of the
lacing taken by the Redskins at
Southport and the paintings di-
rected at our Manual friend, RED
AND RIGHT, thereafter.
