that loss to Upton last November
and double overtime tie with
Tech on the first day of winter.
The Casemen scored consecutive
triumph No. 81 at Gary last week.
Froebel and Logansport neared
fame, but bowed to an avalanche
of points. 1t has been a strenuous
season, and many there are who
think the Hot Dogs are tired. But
once Case gets this far, the man
who has been master -minding for
years becomes more formidable.
The strain of long winning streak
does not burden the Clinton Coun-
ty lads. They have added con-
fidence.
Case may thank Commissioner
Trester for the change in tourney.
He has relied mainly on his start
ing five. Only seven players saw
action in the two games at Gary
Reserve strength will play smaller
part in the one-day meet.
Ralph Vaughn and Jay McCreary
topped the Conference scorers this
year. They have carried the torch
for tine Casemen Ralph Montgom-
cry and Loren Joseph are the six
foot-three boys, and height has it's
place in Hoosier basketball. These
four are seniors. James Miner

the finishing-lineup.

least two years. All have been
building that long for this oppor-
tunity. There are years of prestige
in the records at Frankfort. Win
ming teams is the heritage of the
community.
Strong on Defense
Anderson presents a like complex.
1t enacts the stratagy of clever
general Little Napoleon" they
called Mr.. Archie Chadd when he
handed them a title last year. A
strong defense erected effectively is
his chief forte. He plays each game
as it comes. His team has stepped
aside in favor of Frankfort twice
this season. Many notes were pen
ciled at those contests.
The Indians are scrapping to
maintain their laurels. They
started slowly. Then they found
where they were going. Now they
are driving toward that attainment.
Only Billie Jackson is sure that his
head fits the crown he wore last
year, but the other. nine players
were reserves on the championship
team. A player doesn't sit next to
Chadd without gathering in words
of wisdom.
These are the teams that meet at
3 o'clock tomorrow. Either will be
a worthy champion.
Central of Fort Wayne or Central
of Evansville will catch the winner
on the rebound at tomorrow
night. The Central quintets settle
their dispute at 2 and will have an
hours extra rest as slight advan-
tage over the warriors who will
have to dispense their utmost to
survive the other tilt.
The nod of most people is in the
direction of Fort Wayne Coach
Murray Mendenhall has IL players
representative of the upper part of
the state. Two must be scratched
from the list tomorrow. Five must
be selected to take the floor. All
can render good account. Steve
Sitko will be one starter. It's ques-
tionable if there is a better per-
former in the state.
Paul Armstrong will start or be
at Mendenhall's right elbow. Virgil
Riddle, Negro center. is six-feet-
two. The others are six feet or
less. Sizes does not handicap the
Tigers. They average 43 points a
game in the tournaments and did
not worry much about defense.
They have stopped opponents with
minimum of personal fouls.
Evansville Power
Evansville must be rated almost
entirely on tournament perform
ance. A team that halted Wash
ington and New Albany in center
where Martinsville came to its end
has Potential strength. James
Bosse and Gene Hecklemen are the
big guns. Bill Dixon and George
Cunningham did not see action last
week because of illness. Auburn
Huber played only part of the game
because of an injury.
That is the way they will stack
up tomorrow. Tomorrow nights
post mortems will differ little from
tonlghts discussions on the court
mouse squares. The season and
tournaments will be replayed in
fancy.
