Hartford City, 34; Milroy, 24. 0 0 The outstanding features of the second day’s play of the state high school basket ball tournament held at Bloomington was the decisive victory of the Bedford quintette over Emerson, of Gary, the victory of the Jefferson five, of Lafayette, over the highly touted Columbus men, Greencastle’s continued steL lar playing and the ease with which Franklin and Anderson won their games. , This Saturday morning there were but seven teams remaining in the chase for the championship title—Franklin, Anderson, Jefferson, Greencastle, Bedford, Technical and Hartford City. By noon the field was narrowed to four— Anderson, Franklin and Hartford City, who drew a bye in the morning round. Jefferson meets Hartford City at two o’clock and the winner of this game will oppose the winner of the three o’clock game to be played between Franklin and Anderson. . Jefferson’s - hard game against Technical in the forenoon round may work to their disadvantage m the Hartford City game in the afternoon, as the latter will have benefited by al rest during the morning. Jefferson H. S., however, looks to be the stronger even with their disadvantage in the schedule, and should win, giving them the right to meet the winner of the Franklin-Anderson contest at eight o’clock this evening. At tins distance it looks as if the Lafayette aggregation and Franklin for the final. Franklin should win easily.
