he is craving praise 1IOll COdCllCo
mains for his all-round hardwood
ability.
Leroy is a product Of Indianap-
oils Tech High School and Coach
Tim Campbell. He was regarded
as the best hig! school pivot art
ist in the state a few years ago
when he was keeping North Cen
trail Conference bookies busy at
their addition lessons.
Edwards, now standing 6 feet D
inches and weighing well above
200 pounds, shaped up during the
present season as the best point
qetter the Southern Conference
has ever had. He favored Ken
tucky's brilliant season with 343
points in 20 games.
r n
1T is nexc to impossible tor OPP
i posing guards to stop Edwards
when he executes his crowding
pivot shot without committing OBJ
vious mayhem on him. Hoosier
high school guards made that dis
covery but could do nothing about
it; now the country's collegiate de-
fensive stars are up against the
same thing, much to their regret.
New York University alone
found the anSwer-that being TO
go right ahead with the mayhem
and let the referees take the rap.
Which all leads up to the story
that came out yesterday of Ed
wards feat against Xavier Thurs
day night. He was under the
weather with cold-barely able
to talk-when he went into action
in the first half. During that half
he hooked in a grand total of 16
points. He played hardly a min
ute in the second half, and was
taken to the hospital for examina-
ton after the game.
If he RECEIVERS quickly, he will
be tagged plucky; if his cold deep
ems. he will be called foolhardy; in
either event it's doggone good bas-
ketball.
Incidentally, Tim Campbell is
still reported in fair" condition at
the City Hospital, where he is re-
covering from an automobile &C
cident.
SUPERSTITION scores again!
- Bob Morgan, star Waveland
guard, is vrdcubtedly battling in
the Wa I-Clinton game at
Attica tn. .ernoon with a rab-
bit foot p.---.-d to his jersey. Bob
wore the good luck paw for the
first time in mid-season game,
and the Wavelanders went big
that night. The paw has been a
regular part Of his outfit ever
since and Waveland has won II
of its last IS tits, including the
Charlottesville sectional triumph.
If Norb Kneisly's Wavelanders
walk away with the Attica re-
gional how are you going to pooh
pooh this superstition stuff? A
dozen select rabbit digits to Lafa-
yette, in that event, please-C. o.

Ole Blackboard is in rut today.
He can't come out and say this
or that positively about the re-
gionals, because the actual scores
will be contradicting him ERE day
is done.
He can't rap off a ditty or two
Oh the great f1eldhouse finale, be-
cause he won't know until tonight
who is going to be there for the
last curtain call.
He can't delye into history for a
column or two because all We Hoo
siers are too highly worked up
over the regional entanglements
to waste much patience on any,
thing but up-to-the-minute dope.
He can't fall back on the mail
bag, because all the correSpon-
dents are making regional boasts
that may fall fiat before nightfall
arrives.
How about letting Blackboard
write the society column today,
boss?
Tourney Time Dan picks Ander-
son to come through out at Tech

Blackboard refers that question
to Chic Yarbrough and Harry
