Field Goals by “Eagle Eye” Pele Its all over but the shoutin', gang. Shootin' ’em and Stoppin’ ’em. the King of Columnists, announced in his column yesterday evening that Anderson high school won the 1924 slate championship. For the past few weeks the eyes of basketball fans, players and coaches throughout the state have been focused on Shootin' , ’em to see who he was going to pick for the title. In his column yesterday he told of Anderson's victory in the . state tournament in big headlines, pictures afid a two column writeup dated March 15. At the bottom of tlic story were the following lines: “Iley! Wake up. Get out of Bed. Its time to go to work.” "What! Work? We don’t have to work. ' ; ■ WERE PICKIN’ ANDERSON!" Oh. well, since Muncie, Vincennes. Bedford, Frankfort and a few others wish to play it out, the district, regional ajnl state tournament very likely will be held as planned. 1 Fanny Fanctte says her lower extremitiecs failed to adhere properly to the icy sidewalk on her way home from a party last night, and in spite of her many and rapidly executed ' gestures, she unwillingly imitated Ty Cobb sliding for third.
