-OFF the BACKBOARD da,! By NORMAN E. ISAACS -

THE present basket season is developing into one “grand and glorious” year ior the dopesters and the cage "nuts” have gas about from Monday to M&nday. Plenty to see and plenty to talk

and there’s lots more on hand. Just, for example, . let us hand you a j few of the top-f notch games’ which shape up J on the schedules. Butler and Notre Dame mix it up Feb. 11 at south Bend and again on March 7 right here in lndianapoli s. Indiana] meets Purdue once * again at Bloom- i ington, Feb. 18, and then bumps into Michigan for a second game.

March 3. Notre Dame plays at Pittsburgh, Feb. 18. and Purdue tangles with Michigan at Ann Arbor Feb 11 and once more Feb. 20 at Lafayette. And if that isn’t enough for the lads to whoop about there's the State high school tournaments starting March 2 ana 3 with sectionals, regionals March 10 and finals March 16 and 17. u n It isn’t necessary to mention the fact that I-ogansport and Anderron meet tonight at Anderson. Frankly, we expect that contest to develop into one merry procession. We’re picking Anderson to win that one. Honest! a a a ALSO on the evening’s menu is the spicy dish concocted by Butler’s schedule makers. Central Normal of Danville will be the guests and the Bulldogs will be the hosts. And we might say that we don't expect Butler to develop into

a very congenial host. The Blue and White handed the Normalities a rather decisive whipping earlier in the season and although the visitors have improved quite a bit and will provide plenty of trouble we look for Hinkle’s army to knock ’em off. On Hinkle’s large squad arc two

Marshall

brothers the Christophers, if you must know. Clarence is, to our way of thinking, one of the best guards in the middle west. And Marshall Isn’t very far behind. v - a a a Clarence can do tricks with the “apple” that tickle the fancy. Marshall, a former Shortridge star, is a trifle small, but full of pep and fight. And it might be mentioned hc'also has a good optic for the “bucket.” a a a IT shouldn't be necessary to spiel so much about this contest we're

conducting to name the new Washington High School teams, but we might as well talk about that as anything else. Many good names have been* turned in and as you know we're giving two tickets to the Butler-Franklin game at the Armory Feb. 17. Final date for your letters are Feb. 11, so don't hesitate. Among the good names we've looked at among the collection are those of Leroy E. Allen who suggested “Continentals"; Dick Carter’s •'Purple Eagles”; Dr. Walter F. Hickman's ‘ Patriots”; Loren Phillips’ list, including Sentinels, Seniors, etc., and Norman J. Carroll’s “Minute Men.” Just stick a stamp on your letter or card and address it to “Off The Backboard, The Times, Indianapolis.” Eventually, it will reach our desk. a a a ONE of the high school editors we referred to in our appeal for support of Indianapolis teams by the student bodies of the respective clubs dropped up to see us Thursday. John W. Forney, sports editor of the Monday edition of the Shortridge Daily Echo, asked us for some details and figures, was informed on the proposition and cheerfully agreed to help try and get some support at home games. That's what's needed! THE MAIL TODAY Carmel. Ind. DEAR BACKBOARD: Remember back In *,5 when that little dark horse team of Carmel threw a scare Into the bis teams at the State? Well, watch out for us this year. Our present record is ten victories In twelve starts with an average of 36 plus per game to our opponents’ 18 plus. How’s ’at? "KIT” mam On the warpath again, kitten? tt tt a __ _ Indianapolis. DEAR BACKBOARD: Just a line to let you In on a little secret. Shortridge High School shall be victorious this year at the finals. Martinsville please note. Hear Muncie will soon have a player to fill the gap left by Sccrist. They sure need him and more. FAT BUT CUTE. a m tt Ah, ah! Our bedtime story! * tt tt Eloomington. Ind. DEAR BACKBOARD: This litle note Is to let you know we students here In high school don’t like the way you’ve been talking about our team. You may think we are pie but Just wait until after the Martinsville game and you will change your mind, we do not crow when we win a game and we don’t try to kill the other team when we lose. I sure hope you see the Martinsville game Friday. I think you’ll change your mind then. RAYMOND BENDER a tt a Please pardon Ray. Never even thought we'd slandered your team. Sorrow. a a tt Indianapolis. MY DEAR BACKBOARD: Whew! I don’t need an Introduction to Bert Davis but I expect that If I had needed one and wanted one I would have said so. Ben Parish was going some last Saturday night, wasn’t he? I sure like the way he plays, so easv. And. Mr. Backboard, I don't need an Introduction to him either. Sorry we lost both games last week. We sure put up a strong defense though. DIANA OF TECH. a a a Switched affections, though! tt u tt Indianapolis. DEAR BACKBOARD: Would like to compliment Tim Campbell on his star backguard, Ben Parish. Tech ought to be proud of him for he sure plays hard for the Green and White. Bert Davis is another star player and although he may be little he Is mighty. RITA. You tell ’em kid! a a a ? Remember Way Back When ? The ball park was located at the comer of South and Delaware Sts.
