The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-03-16

and present tournament. Michi-
gan City lost only one game in the
regular season, a play-off with
Froebel of Gary for the Northern
Indiana Conference title.
Michigan City steadied yesterday
in the late minutes against Men
tone and forged out in front for a
1924 verdict. Jeffersonville had a
scare, but weathered the storm and
sent a dark horse" team, Mont
gomery, to the showers, 36-31.
SheIbyviIle Plays Berne
In the third game of the morn
ing, Berne clashed with Shelbyville,
the team that dropped the defend
ing title holder, Logansport, from
the 1885 race. It was a great vic
tory for Coach Paul Lostutter's
Golden Bears. They were behind,
1876, just before the first half
ended, but rallied to get two baskets
and reach the rest period trailing
only 1910. Changing their de-
fensive tactics in the second half,
the Bears held the Logan Berries in
tow and jumped into a Ills lead
at the three-quarter mark. The
champs pulled to within one point,
at 20-19, but Shelbyville spurted
out in front, never again to be
threatened. Graham and Cutting
were the luminaries in the last-h
offensive.
Anderson and Nappanee COM
pleted the quarter-final tits and
Anderson, because of it's impressive
showing last night, when it downed
Brazil, 1922, naturally is the ia
vorlte. There is little to choose
from between Richmond and Rush
vile, although Richmond should be
the favorite, and Michigan City is
the right spot to upset the Jeffer-
sonville five. Shelbyville should
take Berne.
Rub Sets Pace for Indians
Anderson gave Brazil a walloping
and, on the basis of their season
encounters against JefferSonville
both were doped to be about even
strength.
Glen Rub was great in the first
half and helped Archie Chadd's In
dams to a 1872 lead at the quarter
and an 1875 margin at the half. The
team that has a great chance to &c
through to the final tuSsle and may
be the championship boosted its lead
to 25-9 at the quarter post
and Coach Chadd injected a substi-
tute lineup and finished the game
Brazil outscored them, 1874, in the
last quarter.
The final game last night was one
of the old up-and- down floor
variety. It started slow, with Nap
panee getting away to a SO lead
but Johnny Wards Blue Devils of
Upton soon pulled up to 7-6
and tied it up early in the second
quarter, TT. Conrad and Shively
cut loose at the hoop and Nappanee
held I'LL margin at half time
Uncanny accuracy at the free
throw line brought Upton up into
the battle again as the second half
opened. Upton fired six consecutive
free throws to make the score 21-17
and PontiuS and Jones looped in
long ones to tie the count at 21-21
Conrad hit a free throw. PontiuS
and Horton hit field goals for Upton
and they held a 1922 lead at the
three-quarter mark.
Strycker Stars for Nappanee
Strycker started a one-man rally
and with two field goals and a free
throw, tied the count. The Bulldogs
from the north found the range ano
Strycker hit two more and Conrad
one in the final squirt that gave the
upStaterS the verdict, 1888. Pom
titus, Ertel and Horton hit for the
losers in the final minutes.
There are few who realize the ex-
act spot the Jeffersonville team was
in against Montgomery. The little
team from downState was stage
frightened or something in the first
quarter and Andres paced the Red
Devils to ia lead. Carrice, Wat
son and Williams found the range
in the second period and brought
the count 1926.
Watson paced drive by the Vi
kings that brought them up within
one point of a tie at 1888. 1t was
Andres that offered the punch to
save the undefeated Red Devils.
They had taken THEN fourth time
out and suffered a technical foul
penalty and another fould have Of
fered Montgomery a chance to tie.
Andres adviSed his team mates to
go on and play and hen tossed two
baskets to stem the tide.
The two-week elimination test in
sectional and regional tournaments
and the first round of the finals re-
duced the field from 781 teams to
eight. Seven more go today.
