STATE CHIMPS REAI THREATS ' Andeison Indians One Os Four Teams In State Finals (Editor’s note: This is the first' of u series of stories discussing , finalists of the Indiana high school I basket-ball tournament.) By Allen Dibble United Press Stuff Uorrespondent. Anderson. Mar. 23 -(U.R) Squatting, perilously on u basketball. Coach Archie Chadd has brought | the Anderson Indiartu further | along in defense of their Indiana j high school basketball champion-1 ship than the reason's record foretold. ' Just as Chadd has weaved front side to side on his spherical seat [ during heated campaign games. ! fortunes of the Indians have var- . ied. * They won only 11 of 22 ga.'n<e i during the regular season, finish-* ing eighth in the North Central • conference. Several of the victorI ies resulted from late rallies. The Indians apparently have' reached their peak in tournament competition, however, as they have hurdled the barriers with the ease of champions. A 23 to 21 regional victory against Shortridge of Indianapolta blasted the on)y real threat against their supremacy. | Bill Jackson, captain and for-1 ward, is the only member of the 1935 state championship squad I available. The experience has [ made him the high scorer and most deceptive floor worker of 1 tribe. He lacks an inch of being six | feet tall. Other members of the j starting five are six feet or more j.tall. They are Russell Higgin--1 botham. forward, six feet one [inch; James Hughes, center, six feet four inches; Bill Miller, six feet, and Dan Fisher, six feet two j inches, guards. Chadd will select his reserves from Roy and Wickford Davis, forwards; Bill Goss, center; and i Frank Clemons. Jr., and Charles ■ Richardson, guards. Hie Indians will defend their; title in the first round of the finals against Fraaikfort. North Central conference champions and a . favored challenger. Frankfort twice defeated Ander- i son during the regular season. 1 The Indians lost their opening i game of the campaign to Frankfort 23 to 17. and later were defeated by the Hotdogs. 22 to 18. I A third Frankfort victory would be a contradiction of the Hoosier [basketball adage that “you can’t i beat a good team three times in a ; season.’’ Chadd has been coach at Anderi son three seasons. In 1934. thb Indians lost.in the regionals to Techni . . of India:, .polls, ultimate runner-up to Logansport’s state champions.
