The Bears of Blue River unquestionably earned their 1935 ticket when they pounded through the tough regional field at Columbus. which included Franklin, North Vernon and Madison. Coach Paul Lostutter turned the trick In his first semester at the Shelby helm. Beginner's luck, you say? Perhaps. But Paul had some mighty sweet ball clubs during his eight-year reign at Delphi. nun It seems that Lostutter can’t get away from Cliff Weils. Several brilliant teams which Lostutter nurtured at Delphi never reached the finals because they were cut down by Cliff’s ever-strong Logansport clubs in the regionais.
