Osf 1 h e Backboard By VERN BOXELL

JUST one week from today, and Backboard takes his annual leap. This year, it is more of a leap than ever. Steve Brodie became famous for a less hazardous venture. He at least was sure of a soft place to land. a a a Out of a long list of contenders, but two have been consistent performers—Frankfort and Shelbyville. And even the latter have shown signs of “cracking.” a a a Last week, Backboard named twenty who were to figure in the final selection. This week, ten remain. Read ’em and weep (laugh, sigh, smile or gripe, as you please). Frmkfort Horace Mena ShefbvriUe Anderson Washington Tech Muncie Newcastle tog ansport Martinsville a a a WELL, well and Wells! Those Berries from Logan are asserting themselves. After drubbing Abie Master's Kokomo Wildcats on Friday, the boys from the City of Bridges swallowed up Washington, 19 to 16. And who was responsible for all of this—none other than Mr. Charles Meads. The all-important local question of “What chance has the Indianapolis sectional winner against Anderson in the regional” remains as much a problem as ever. Tim Campbell and his boys did little, if anything, toward clearing up the situation. In fact, they even complU cated it. That 22 to 11 triumph scored by the Indians Saturday over Tech was a fair comparison of the two teams as they stacked up then, and Tech appears about the best of ihe local lot—at times, as it were. a a a / Any way you look at it. the prospects are dark. There are those who will contend that Tim held bis boys in check Saturday. Even so. far be it from Backbobard *o say that Staggs did not do the same. Tim used his regular line-up the last three mir.utes only—but Staggs kept Crlsler. his star floor guard, on the bench throughout the tilt. a a a Tech, at its best, can handle Anderson! But would Tech be at its best in the regional? Would Edwards help the locals along by making at least a part of the seven free throws he missed Saturday in eight attempts? a a a Anderson has the power, height and ability to go far. The Indians are one of the tallest' teams in the state. They have ridden the elevator all season, champions one night and dubs the next. And Backboard goes on record right now with the statement that whoever wins the local sectional has a real task ahead in the regionals at Anderson. And if those Indians get down to the field house, they may cause anybody 'rouble. They're good for one game, fit least a a * Little things to be thankful for— Bert Davis at Butler.

E., survived the first round of play in the 1931 Marion county Sunday school tournament at East, Tenth gym.

If Minnesota can halt Northwestern’s winning streak, the Gophers will tie the Wildcats for the lead and make the race a wide open affair. Indiana, which was handed an unexpected defeat by Purdue Saturday night, can also get back in the running by winning from lowa at Blomington tonight, provided Northwestern loses. Seven games are scheduled this week, with every team in action except Michigan and Ohio State. Northwestern has a pair of games, playii.g Chicago.at Midway Saturday after meeting Minnesota tonight. If the Wildcats can annex these two games it seems fairly certain that they’ll win the cage title. The purple quintet already has defeated Chicago, Illinois and Ohio State, which will be met in return games. The two hardest games appear to be with Minnesota, as the other two are against the admittedly weak lowa five. THREE MAT MATCHES Dolby Meets Achiu; Humberto Tackles Grubmeier, Three mat matches are carded for Tomlinson hall tonight.
