1 at Evansville, the Alices of Vin •■ennes will meet an unknown ‘ Salem quint in the first contest, and doping again I* practically impossible. Vincennes ha* a spotty Reason, and can hardly be called a favorite. On the other , hand. Salem is so unknown that It can't be favored One point for Vincennes — the ! Alices have an early season victory of 34 to 14 chalked up over , New Albany, the team that beat ' Jeffersonville, but fell before Seymour in the regional by a score lof 34 to M. Then Salem c ame along and whipped Seymour. 25 to HI. Salem’* Lions are not a consistent scoring team, but neither are the Alices High spots tor the Alices ar* triumphs over Blooming ton and Evansville Central and Bosse during the regular season Salem's opponents have been so -mall, therefore weak, that a high »pot would be only a bump on the record of some other tenm. In the second contest at Evansville, Rosse sill meet Garfield Os Terre Haute. Bosse is another club with a spotty season's record while Garfield had a bad start, but managed to emerge with a fairly liresentatlble record. Garfield is a true dark horse for the tourney Their scoring is erratic and they may count x points in one half to come roaring back iln another with 3k They believe i tn possession of the ball a* .he major point of the game, and rarely let go of the leather unless to try for a fairly sure bucket. When Garfield is cold, they're vety cold, but when they get hot, it s a sure-fire winch that they're going to come awfully clom to burning their opponents off the court. Bo*«e is another apotty "pocket” team It didn’t win the Evansville championship, but managed to whoop through to the eectlonal title despite opposition from two other Evansville quint*. Like Garfield. It is a dark horse. It ha* the hlgest scoring average for tourney play of any team m the Evansville meet, and It Is tied With Salem for the best defensive average. In scoring it i* fairly con»l*tent, but lack* complete balance. It i* a fighting club, and seems to go best when it is behind Kueb ler. first string forward. Corine, center, and Myers, guard, can hit the net fairly consistently ' .' ■■ ' - -
