The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-12-09

IL Tie OlU lOIhS KNEW lIlelI lOgl
teams are due to end the present sea
For the general overture of local
high schools into the current cam
paign this last weekend hardly
could be called suspicious. Or even
suspicious. To be statistic, the city
cagers posted a grand percentage of
400. That percentage, I may add,
is not guaranteed, since the writer
worked it out without aid of ma
chinery or slide rules after figuring
that local schools won six and lost
four.
The locals will have II oppor-
tunities to hike that percentage
over the 500 mark next weekend.
Twelve games are scheduled, but one
is certain to scratch an indianapolis
entry when Broad Ripple and Man
ual hook up at the Shortridge gym
on Friday night.
Blue to Try Again.
The Shortridgers will be away
from home that right-over' in
Greencastle trying to break through
the hoop and scare up a victory
They have tried three times already.
but the only thing they broke was
Coach Kenny Peterman's peace of
mind.
Cathedral and Tech also travel
Friday night. Cathedral's Irish go to
Elwood still searching for Old Man
Triumph, who has thrice eluded
them to date.
Tech picks up hot coal in New
castles Trojans. The boys over in
Chrysler City are unbeaten and al
ready have cut down several of the
states big name teams. The local
East Siders will be playing their Sec
ond game. They bumped into Ko-
komo Friday night, and bounced off
Danville Back Again
Washington entertains at home
this Friday, hosting for Danvilles
FASTENERS, who already have denied
the Indianapolis flank with a
triumph over Cathedral. The Cont
inentals are batting 500 after beat
ing Mooresville and losing to South
port this past weekend.
Techs assignment in the crusade
for bigger and better Indianapolis
percentage becomes doubly tough
when the Big Green returns to the
Michigan-st goalry Saturday night
to take on Rushville.
And Cathedral will find the Sat

Rushville and Connersville gave lit

strengths when they collided last

tory for Cathedral.

played only one game, trouncins

along in promising style despite the

Just You Wait, Noblesville!
Crispus Attucks turned in the best
performance during the weekend
wars. The Tigers captured two tits
beating Kurtz, 81 to 16, on Friday
and Boys School, II to II, Saturday
Shortridge met most disaster, losing
two.
Noblesville caused the most dam
age of invading forces. The plague

north of indianapolis, isn't it?)-the
plague from the north swept
through the city to NOW down
Cathedral and Shortridge on sue
cessive nights and boost the Millers
victory string to four in a row
Noblesville beat Shortridge, 22-17
and Southport tripped Washington,
24-18, Saturday.
indianapolis has not heard the
last of the Millers yet. Broad Ripple
meets Noblesville Feb. %. But, if
the old folks know their logic-and
they usually do-Indianapolis will
be so far above the 800 mark by
Feb. % that even another victory by
Noblesville won't amount to much.
