AMONG those not present on this week’s program are the Washington Hatchets. Coach Burl Friddle halted schedule activities a week early to get his hopefuls In shape to defend their state title. Burl hao had his share of the bad bumps this season. He lost one player by ineligibility and two by injuries. Fortunately, it seems to us, all were floor guards. Regardless of these handicaps, the Hatchets got through their twenty-game card with only three defeats— Logansport once, and Frankfort twice. Bedford slipped up on them in the blind tourney at Vincennes, but slips don’t count. a a a It's 8 well known fact, more or lew, that Friddle has had his team eased np for the last few games. The cLanps edged past Wiley and Martinsville by three and two-points margins last week. With the additional week of pre-toarney practice, Friddle may be able to muster up a few new tricks for the Hatchets to spring on the pretenders to their throne. a a a Burl and Shoptown backers have high hopes of repeating. Last spring, tne Hatchets almost unanimously ware neglected by the “pickers” and then breezed through to a well-earned title. History sometimes repeats—even In basketball. WHILE the Hatchets are playing among themselves behind locked doors, a score or more quintets who have (in varied quantities) hopes of donning the royal robes which they hope Washington will shed, will take their parting shots in scheduled contest. Logansport and Frankfort, of course, top the billing. a a a Logansports-Frankfort games generally provide some real thrills. Just a few years ago they played one ©i the most unique contests on record—a 10 to 7 affair In which the rivals spent most of the time at opposite ends of the court looking at each other. More recently, the Berries threw a scare Into the Hot Dogs camp by holding the Casemen to a 15 to 13 count. a a a According to word from Frankfort, Red Thompson will remain on the sidelines tonight, nursing his “Injured" ankle. With the tournaments nearing, that may be the wise thing to do. Case has taken very good advantage of Red’s Injuries, overemphasizing Red’s Importance to the Hot Dogs’ success and thereby causing a bear rush on Frankfort’s title stock. Which probably Is as Casey planned. On the other hand, Charley Meade and Campbell will be In there catching and throwing em for Wells, insuring a real ball game. a a Incidentally, Charley Lawhead was held scoreless from the field In the Anderson game. It is said to be the first time his fg scoring column has shown a goose-egg since bo took np pot shotting Ft Casey, which was a long time ago if our memory serves us correctly. a a a Connersvllle goes up to Newcastle Friday seeking to repeat its early season triumph over the Trojans. It will be Rowe and Huffman against Shellhouse and Ennis —and may the best men win. a a a ANOTHER rivalry feud will break out at Martinsville on Friday night, when Vincennes and the Artesians play the “rubber” game of the season. Glenn Curtis’ pastimers pasted the Alices in the blind tourney, but Jawn Adams’ boys reversed the order in a scheduled game, both at Vincennes. With the appendicitis and injury bogey-man given the air, the Artesians should come through in this one. a a a And Muncie—our Mancie—goes to Ft. Wayne to play South Side. Ho hum! a a a In other parts, there'll be Hartford City at Anderson; Rushville at Franklin; Richmond at Bedford; Washington (East Chicago). latest “northern plague” at Delphi; Huntington at Marlon: Bloomington (poor Panthers) at Shelby ville: Danville at Brazil: Seymour at Columbus (look out. Bulldogs!): Tipton at Kokomo; Jeff (Lafavette) at Lebanon; Attica at Crawfordsville: Noblesville at Greensburg. and Greencastle at Garfield (Terre Haute). a a a And for the perusal of the local lookerson, there’s Washington a i Shortridge, in which the Continentals probably will suffer from serious Bulleit Bcrns. a a a Greencastle and W'iley of Terre Haute, who may figure prominently in who’s who at the state tourney, will battle in Tiger town Saturday night. New Albany goes to Connersville. Salem plays at Seymour and Tech entertains Columbus (look out again. Bulldogs) in other events of more or less importance. And that will be all* a a a * Gene Bock, enterprising secretary of the I. S. W. A., has figured out that Decatur tops the Hoosier prepsters on a percentage basis, with sixteen wins and two losses. Next is Frankfort with eighteen and three.
