The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-02-27


a. n
r Asst nights games marked the
IL final home appearance Of three
Butler varsity men, and an equal
number of Purdue regulars will
make their last bow at Lafayette
Saturday night against Indiana.
Purdue's great quintet is COM
prised of three seniors, Captain
Williaf (Dutch) Fehring, Ray Eddy
and Emmett Lowery. Fehring and
Eddy are from Columbus, Ind,
where they played together in high
school, and Lowery is an Indianapo-
lis product.
The trio who will play no more
for Butler in the fieldhouSe are:
Frank ReiSsner, forward, and Ben
Parrish and Frank Baird, guards.
DURDUE will rank as one Of the
l. best teams in the country this
year. The BoilermakerS have dropped
only two games, one to Notre Dame,
80 to %, and another to Iowa, 38
to SO. They avenged the Iowa de-
feat week later, but the Irish still
hold the edge over them and by
this narrow margin can claim a
state chamionship.
In conference competition this
season Purdue has averaged 43
points a game reaching a high mark
of so against Michigan Saturday
night.
There still are six conference
games on the list, three Saturday
night and three next Monday night.
The battle from now on will be be-
tween Northwestern, co-champion
last year, and Wisconsin and IN
diana for second place. Northwest
ern probably will clinch at least a
tie for the second position with a
victory over Chicago Saturday night.
DETE ELLIS, in the Vincennes
Il Sun-Commercial, predicts that
Bicknell and Vincennes will meet
in the sectional finals in Vincennes,
but doesn't say whether the Alices
will be regional contenders, or just
also-ranS.
Blackboard will go Pete one bet
ter. Here's the official pick for the
sectional games at Tech:
Thursday Night-A tough draw
for Ben Davis team that has Its
of support, for Blackboard thinks the
Shortridge Blue Devils are much too
tough for the lads from the western
part of the county; Castleton- Acton,
knowing nothing of either, here's a
flip of the coin-tailS. and Acton;
my consolation to Washingtons
Continentals for stalking up with
Tech in the initial round.
Friday Morning Central
to repeat an early season victory to
eliminate Broad Ripple; Manuals
Redskins should see at least the Sec
ond card in the deal with Decatur
Central paying the bill; an dts
Coins to be adios to New Bethel as
the Southport Cards move up a
notch.
Friday Afternoon-Another hard
one, but Blackboard strings along
with New Augusta; and with Beech
Grove to get another chance with a
win over Lawrence; the first second
round tilt goes to Shortridge, with
out much argument on Actions part.
Friday Night-Tech again and
farewell to Warren Central until
1885; and here's one to plck-but
Blackboard says Shaefer and COM
pany by a shade unless Manual hits
and maintains the stride it has
shown thus far onl yin flashes; in
the last second-round battle, Beech
Grove to take New Augusta.
Saturday Afternoon-The feature
of the sectional, and of course, Tech
can't win the state unless the Green
and White gets by Shortridge;
Southport to become the other
finalist with the Campbellmen.
Saturday Night-The first rung in
the long ladder for the east siders.
ATEWCASTLE'S Trojans will not
~ relinquish the dark horse of
mystery they've been riding re-
Gently. Another wooden one? The
Hookermen whipped Connersville,
80 to 81, hitting fourteen buckets in
thirty-seven tries from the field, and
connecting with four free pitches in
as many tries.
Just about the time you think
you've got this Newcastle quintet
