Tech that Washington was
small time" school In several
cases where the writer's put up
strong rebuttals they failed to at
tach any name other than an
alias. Blackboard. of course, must
insist on the name and address.
Continental Jake sums up the
case for the prosecution thusly:
Dear Backboard-I want TO get
a load of my chest about that ar
ticle by Green" calling Washing
ton a small time School-a school
that in seven short years has won
five city championships in difficult
branches of sports, and has been
a contender nearly every year in
one branch or another. That
doesn't sound like small time
stuff.
Green named himself properly.
I want to be on hand when Wash
ington and Tech meet in the COM
ing sectional. Remember-aS the
city tourney goes, so goes the Sec
tional.
I'VE got a break in the tourney
draw and will utilize it to the ut
most" confides Blue and Blithe of
ShOrtridge.
IF Blackboard had to reel off
Il season Big Ten on a moments
notice he probably would humble,
"Jeffersonville, Newcastle, Vim
cennes, Anderson, jeff of Lafay-
cite, Frankfort. Noblesville. Lo-
gansport, Froebel and Shelbyville.
Picking at the Pickers
Chic Yarbrough at Frankfort
finally comes straight out and
m axes an unalterable stand for
Anderson to survive the tempest
he'll Rub that decision some
day e. . Muncie's Silverburg reach
es right across and tabs Muncie's
public enemy No. Newcastle
because, seize, the Trojans have
"everything-size, speed, expert
ence, ability to score and fine
defense" everything, Kidder
Silverburg, but reserve strength,
and that's pretty important
article. =.
VXTHEN one of those rare cases
w occurs where BoxelI and
Yarbrough are in complete agree
ment, it's worthy of being called
news" Blackboard finds him
self in absolute harmony with the
following suggestion by the Frank
fort Scribbler; I'VE were under the
impression the current period of
unrest passed with the late oe-
preston, but it's evident, with the
state Legislature wanting tc dab
BILE in basketball and the rules
committee wanting to continue to
alter the rules, that the tinker
era IS just beginning. The per-
son who inventS some game no
one cares about, or drafts a set
of dummy rules for the committee
to tinker with would be doing the
basketball public a great favor"
Not a word against jeff of La
fayette in that whole sentence,
either.
In answer to c. V. P: Butler
has won 10 games and lost 6 for
grand percentage of 694; Purdue
has won and dropped three for
700 clip. Butler has one game
yet to play-Indiana State at
Terre Haute tomorrow night. The
Boilermakers face two games yet
Wisconsin, March 4, and North
western. March 9.

list of "a winners. If the board
