Other city and Marion County
quintets approach Tie final month
of regular season preparation be-
fore the March wars begin, fully
aware now that a distinct chal-
ionge for the sectional crown is
going to break from the South Side.
The local schedule this week is
light, due to mid-semester recess in
the schools. Tech plays Wednesday,
four tits are carded for Friday,
and everybody, except Manual, takes
a vacation Saturday.
Tech travels to Lafayette to tackle
the Jefferson Bronchos Wednesday
in a North Central Conference fracas.
The Bronchos championed the league
last season, but are going none too
strong this campaign, and have
bowed successfully to Newcastle,
Frankfort and Muncie. Both clubs
are near the bottom in the confer
ence standings.
The new city champions return
to their lengthy road ramble with
fresh confidence as they invade
Beech Grove Friday night and Ma
sonic Home at Franklin Saturday
night. The main course on Fri
days menu is to be offered at But
Ter f1eldhouse when Cathedral ant
Shortridge boil up their annual
quarrel Their records compare on
equal lines to date, promising a
fast-moving battle.
Washingtons dethroned Contin-
entails will seek to get back into
winning stride by turning a trick
which has been attempted unsuc-
cessfully by other schools Is times
The Ben Davis Giants, going
strong on 16-game win streak, in
wade the West Side gym Friday
night. Broad Ripple cagers face
stiff opposition Friday at Decatur
Central where they take on one of
the strongest teams in the county.
IF were putting together an all
L star city public high school
team, selecting players on the basis
of their performances in the tour
ney, my roster would read like this
Forwards
Mcdaniel, Shortridge; Reed, Tech;
Gallamore, Manual.
Centers
Cohn, Manual, and Mcqueen,
Broad Ripple.
Guards
Sartor, Washington; Schwomeyer,
Manual; Brown, Shortridge.
A reserve squad would be con-
siderably more difficult to fashion,
since happy overflow of promising
talent was uncapped during the 3
battles. But the team striking me
as the strongest would include:
Forwards
SHORT, Washington; Hibner, Man
ual; Bruce, Shortridge.
Centers
Clark, Broad Ripple, and Clayton,
Shortridge.
Guards
Hook, Tech; Carter, Washington;
Hansing, Manual.
MANUALS rugged Redskins are
uA deserving successors to the
throne vacated by the Washington
Continentals. Their victories over
Tech and Shortridge were not lucky
upsets in any sense of the phrase.
They merely played the best ball
during the tourney.
The Redskins had courage to
spare as they raced from behind
against both Tech and Shortridge
to finish strong in the closing min
utes. They dropped Tech, 81 to 10,
and whipped the Blue Devils, 80
to 3d.
Coach Oral Bridgford's handling
Of players. or rather his abstinence
from it, probably was an important
factor in the Manualites' drive to
the top. Refusing to angle around
for workable combinations. the
Redskin mentor put his five men
on the floor and left them there to
do or die" They may have been
slow getting started, but they
weren't in the mood to be stopped
when once they began clicking to-
gether.
Coach Bridgford used six men
against Tech, and shot the works"
on his starting fivesome against
Shortridge.
