Should the Mastersmen snuff
out their sectional foes, they will
have the oxford winner, probably
Otterbein, and Lebanon or Frank
fort to push through in the Frank
fort regional.
Then, IF-What a Word-they
get to the fieldhOuSe they are
Shuff1ed right into the extra tough
upper bracket which includes such
backward little fellows as (mebbe)
Newcastle, Vincennes, Connersville
and New Albany or Jeffersonville.
But that's o. K. Bronchos!
The sitter the path, the less
chance for a mischievOuS dark
horse to sneak up on you! At
least you know what to fight for!
FIREWORKS in the Indian
L apolis section disputes prob
ably will begin with the Decatur
.Central-CaStleton battle at 9
Thursday night. Decatur and
Castleton staged a tug-o-war in
the semi-final joust of the county
tournament, with Decatur wind
ing up on top, % to %. The Cen
tralites then went on to annex
the title. New Bethel should ease
through Beech Grove and Short
ridge should have little trouble in
Broad Ripple in other Thursday
night skirmiSheS.
Warren Central, with Mr.. WieSe
in form, may easily give Tech more
trouble than the CannOns are eX-
pecting at 2 p. m. Friday. A prob
able Washington-Ben Davis re-
union will add pep to the Friday
night session at 8.
Saturday will be bargain day.
Three games-three evenly bal
anced finish fights.
TICK Miller of The Times says
II jeff of Lafayette is pre-
tourney favorite," but that state
ment must be based on Back
boards recommendation, for other
state writer's don't seem to swing
to the idea. Jim Itch OF the Col
umbus Republican has avoWed
himself with Newcastle, Mark Og-
den of the KokOmo Tribune is on
the Jacksonville b a n d W gon,
Kunnel Bob Stranahan OF the
Newcastle Courier-TimeS lines up
with his own home boys, and Chic
Yarbrough on the Frankfort Times
saws he isn't picking, but if he
were it would be Anderson.
Bob Stranahan writes an IN
spirational piece for the TroJans
to ponder. If Bobs eXhortive es-
say means victories for his town
boys. they're through the regional
on a breeze right now.
Il
XXTHEN is a substitute not
w substitute?-When he sinks
two perfect field goals in an over
time to win a ball game. If he
stands up under fire like that all
the time, he can play every day
in the week and twice on Satur-
dav night on Backboard's team.
Loyal Techites we're given a
real thriller for the last dish on
their season menu Saturday, even
though the Green Goalers did lose
to Kokomo in a fast overtime, 80
to %. Bennett, who came trip
ping in for the last minute or so
for Matchett, polished of the Ko-
komo season by caging two field
ers after weaver had given Tech
the lead with a short goal in the
extra period. The score at the
end of the allotted 80 minutes
was 1926
Tim Campbell revamped his Lineup
little to start the game, sending Reedy
in at center. and using Childers as reg
uIar guard along with Weaver. And the
new setup worked like a charm for
awhile. HUT going under on some clever
pivot passes by Reedy and Childers

ing. The Techmen were leading, IL to s,
midway in the second quarter. But
Reedv was consistently out jumped by
Elliott. KokomO's 1.-THE Negro center,
and from the center circle the ball al
ways found its way TO Maddox. stocky
wildcat guard. who was hot on long
field shots.
Maddox fired away unmOleSted to his
hearts content. and KOkomo was ahead
at the half. Il to Is.
