Attention Mr. Tim Campbell of Tech.
discover what's wrong with those falter-
ing Green-clads and finally comes up
with the solution.
The solution is suggested in letter.
But you'd never guess whom the letter is
from Tim. A Tech Administering
isn't it? Alumni usually are reticent to
comment on such matters. Here it's:
Dear Blackboard 1 think l know what
the matter with Tech this year. Hav-
ing witnessed the Muncie and Logans-
port games, I've come to the conclusion
that the boys don't shoot for the hoop
often enough. This was especially true
in the Muncie game. When they held a
good lead over Muncie they started
withholding the ball. And when their
lead melted to two points they started
shooting again, and much to their sur
prise found they could hit it with regu-
larity. After ALL the game is won by
the club that puts the ba" through the
basket the most times.
They've tried to put Townsend's shoes
on Chris Mocas, but the shoes arc much
too large. Things look dark this year
for Tech but perhaps next season will
be a different story. Yours,
Tech Alumnus '34.
