State Is Well Represented

Sifting old man dope around, juggling this and that hunch, it looks like an awful battle. Vincennes has a rather easy road to hoe, but then it’s all in the game and when the final gun it fired there will he no alibis in order. Vincennes has held the limelight all year. Their progress will be watched throughout the State. Anderson comes with a great record, having been defeated only twice and then by the same team, and that team was Vincennes. Richmond will make its appearance with an unbroken string of victories. Their season schedule did not include the stronger teams of the State, but they did meet and defeat Bedford as the season was closing. Bedford must be considered. Columbus startled Mr. Dope by dropping Evansville in the regionals. They have a cracking good team and may get some place. Evansville was the only team to defeat Vincennes.

Franklin, for three years State champions, are back again. Their first game is at 4 p. m. Friday with Perryville. The State champs have a
