TOPNOTCH PREP QUINTETS TO SEE ACTION OVER STATE

Tech Plavs J Logansport in Feature Horace Mann Faces Two Hard Foes; Four Good Games Saturday. With the opening rounds of the annua) state championship elimination tourneys Just four weeks away, Hoosler basketball fans have settled down for the stretch drive, which opens this week-end with a card of topnotch attractions. Tech of Indianapolis and Logansport meet in the feature match on Friday night’s card, at the City of Bridges. Both quintets have shown power on occasions, but neither has filled pre-season expectations. The game probably will be a close one. Delphi Ilaa Power Becond in interest will be Horace Mann (Gary) at Delphi. The Horsemen undoubtedly have been the most disappointing quintet this season. Delphi is strong and may add to the woes of the northerners. Among the Northern Indiana Conference teams, Frankfort is expected to avenge a recent upset at the hands of Rochester, at the latter place; Anderson’s Indians, despite the loss of their husky back guard Van Dyke, should further humble Morton at Richmond; Muncie invades Lebanon for a promised battle royal in which all may not be well for the Bearcats, but probably will, and Kokomo, with tw'o veterans back in the lineup aiter prolonged absences, will be the favorite over Newcastle at Kokomo. Hatchets at Central Washington Hatchets will be favorites over Central at Evansville. Incidentally, they are doped to fight it out in the Hatchet regional later on. Martinsville should find easy picking in the game W'ith Jefferson at Lafayette, while Columbus journeys to Franklin, where they probably will hang up another victory. Sullivan plays at Vincennes, Greensburg invades Shelbyville. Crawfordsville journeys to Brazil. Garfield (Terre Haute) sees action at Greencastle and La Porte plays Elkhart in other state features. In a local feature. Shortridge and Cathedral battle at the Shortridge gym tonight. A quartet of games will share the interest Saturday. Connersville, the only team to defeat Columbus this season, will come to Indianapolis w'ith its tall quintet to meet Tech. Champs Favorites Horace Mann will meet its second tough foe of the week at Franks it with the champs hold-

ing the edge.

Shelbyville plays at Brazil, Washington (East Chicago) at Emerson (Gary) and Huntington at Hartford City in other features.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr.. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Thursday's Times: Jan. 30 is the birthday of six hundred million people. The Chinese New Year, which coincides with the first moon after the sun enters the constellation Aquarius (Jan. 30.1930), is celebrated as the common birthday of the total population of China, Japan, aid Korea, conservatively es-

timated at about six hundred million sou Ls. In these countries the moment a child is born it is considered one year old, until the beginning of anew calendar year, when he is immediately credited with another year. This also explains one of my previous statements that a Chinese baby born on New r Year’s eve will be 2 years old on New Year’s day.
