Blackboard midway in the season:
Cliff looks good to repeat to me-"
The Berries at that time were en-
gagged in a five-game losing streak
and it didn't look SO easy to Back
board. In fact, this scribbler saw
the Berries in action on four occa-
SionS during the season and in
every case watched the WellSmen
go down to defeat.
But the Berries actually won 20
contests while losing six-so you
can't exactly classify them along
with the dark horses"
OF the teams in the final Is,
the WellSmen split season games
with Anderson and Frankfort, beat
Richmond, and bowed to Jeffer-
sonville.

tainly is the toast of Anderson.
Indian town rabids invaded the
Tech regional goalry Saturday
toting miniatures of the honored
quackster. Whenever the Indians
boosted their score, little "Myrtles"
were hoisted into the air all over
the Anderson section.
The favorite Indian fowl is sure
to be on hand at the fieldhouSe,
Friday. The Anderson cheer
leader always plants the duck
atop his head and sprints COM
pletely around the playing floor
before the game starts. They bet
ter rig up a saddle for Myrtle be-
fore Friday-it's a long. long ride
around that fieldhouSe floor. Id
suggest the cheer-leader go into
training, tco-or else send Myrtle
into training and let her make her
own jaunt.

sport. His team won the Tri-State
championship at Cincinnati in 1927
and the North Central Conference
championships in 1888 and 1884.
Wells Is Ace Pilot
He had a powerful team in 1884
and the boys who remained in school
from that team looked great as they
went along undefeated in the early
part of the present season. They
lost to Jeffersonville, then started
a tobaggan but there are many who
feel that is part of Coach Wells
plans. His team has been coming
along gradually, walloping Frank
fort just as the season ended and
winning the sectional and regional
titles with little danger. The Ber-
rieS are regarded as great team
when they are going, and that
means they are liable to be red hot"
in the tournament.
Anderson was runner-up for the
title in 1921, the highest the Indians
ever went. They have a fast out
fit, one that could come through.
They are doped to meet Logansport
in the semi finals. AS for Rushville,
Princeton, Richmond, Berne, Roach

and Upton, their chances are like
Mentone and Montgomery-outSide,
upset or dark horse chances.
