LEBANON WINS TITLE BY DOWNING ANDERSON

Lebanon high school won the 7th Indiana basketball tournament Friday evening for the second straight year when their five downed Anderson in an overtime game by the score of 24 to 20. The game was a fitting climax to a great tournament and there was but little to choose between the five who battled in the final game. Two minutes before the close Anderson was leading by a single point, when an over eager Anderson player committed a foul which was converted into a point by a Lebanon sharpshooter. -At the end of the game the score stood 20 all: Five minutes extra was decided upon and Lebanon by a great spurt dropped the sphere through the net for two field goals. In the semi-finals Lebanon defeated Bloomington and Anderson routed Huntington.
