South Bend Central, Muncie Play Friday Indianapolis, Nov. x tt Pi In away. It's too bad that South Bend Washington high school's football team ha* lost a gaum this season ami that portly Walter Fisher Isn’t ! coaching Muncie Central's eleven ’ anymore. For if those two things had not hap|M-m-d. th- game scheduled for l .M uncle tomorrow night between 1 1 the South Bend Panthers and Mun- ' 1 cle Bearcats would b ■ about the ' hottest Item • ver to crop up In Hoosier pr«-p football. Not that tomorrow'* game i*n t Important, because If Muncie wins ' by a wide margin It would have a strong talking point for mythical state honors. Bitt the game will lack the “class" of a Washington vs Fisher affair. Th- Fisher-coached Muncie elevens of 1943 and 1944 went through their regular season undefeated and untied. On each occasslon. Fisher bluntly said he had the best team in th- state and asked if some one wanted to make something out of It a post season game, perhaps? That caused more furor In the slate than anything since the game was Introduc'd. Sport* writers to the south, north, east and west leveled broadside* at Fisher. The general theme was that Fisher "wouldn't be in the same league here." Writers In the far north recalled once more that classic tale of how, in 1927. Indianapolis Shortridge had an undefeated, untied, un scor-d-upon eleven and wax I shouting from the housetops that | it was the best In the state Gary Froebel won that one. 700. There were broad hints that Muncie of 1943 ami 1941 was of the sam- category a* Short ridge of 192 .. Some sport* writers al-»> charged that Fisher Flung challenges so freely liecause he knew lli.it the northern Indian.* conference champions (South Bend Washington. | each timet had scheduled all the ’ io game* allowed by the mate prep athletic association Fisher finally.

Then, between seasons, there was an audible sigh when it was announced that Muncie Central and South Bend Washington had arranged a liome-aiid-liome serie.* starting 1945. But. after 18 seasons, Walter Ficher stepped down this fall in favor of a younger mon Ettore Antoinl. The Bearcats under An- ! tonlni are undefeated tn eighl straight gam<s.
