Coach Chet Kessler’'s Hammond Wildcats team had a narrow escape. Trailing Hammond “Tech, 11 to 14, with a minute to play, Hammond worked through an out-of-bounds play and a sleeper setup in the final seconds to win, 15 to 14. : The goals, made by Johnny Ingram and Harold Larimer, both substitutes, left the Wildcats undefeated in four games and gave them their fifth consecutive victory over the Tigers. The Horsemen of Horace Mann, Gary, knocked Valparaiso’s hopes of staying ahead ia the Northern League race, 26 to £0, and Emerson skimmed past Whiting, 39 to 25. The State Champion Archers- of South Side, Ft. Wayne, took a temporary lead in the Northeastern Conference as the big trio of Hall, Bolyard and Glass paced them to their third league win. Another confererice war settled— for a while—was Aurora's 26-to-21 triumph over North Vernon in a Southeastern scrap. It was Aurora’s fifth victory. Rushville gave Franklin sole claim to the South Central leadership by whipping its closest rival—Connersville—35 to 34.

Lawrence closed with a rush but failed to overhaul the Greencastle basketeers.

clad Golden Bears at the North Side gymnasium last night until Coach Wendell Ballard sent The Spark into the scrimmage. He was a flash of lightning and just as devastating. Seven goals he dropped in from the floor and they gave the Bears a 32-i0-31 victory. { This little fellow dribbled around the Blue Devils, ssemingly paying’ no attention to the screeners. And he twirled that leather through the hoop from long distances -or punched it in from under the netting. 0 The Blue Devils were comfortably fixed with a 14-to-8 lead at the half, but then appeared The Spark —and Shortridge started on the downward trail. The Devils’ first half superiority was due almost entirely to Ralph Hesler, a forward who fourid his aim, and the alert, hard play of Johnny Allerdice, guard.

Hesler Again Stars for Blue

Hesler made all of Shortridge’s scores during the first 10 minutes

throw. Hesler continued to. pace the Devils’ attack early in the third quarter. Andrews in this frame

confined his work to grabbing the ball off the backboard, dribbling into shooting: territory and feeding it to McQueen and John Jewett, the latter caging two long ones. The Spark, however, made two goals in the period, but two are nothing to him. They went into that sizzling final period with the Blue Devils’ margin narrowed to one point, 23 to 22. Up they came for the showdown! . Allerdice missed, but Fred Krampe soared up and tipped the ball in to make it 25 to 22. Bill Hardy took a lightning pass from Allerdice, dribbled down and | hooked one in from the side, making it 27 to 22. - Andrews twirled the ball in from the side, then dribbled in/ without anyone guarding him and pocketed another. He stepped back almost to the center of the court and pitched the sphere into the groove to make it Shelbyville, 28; Short ridge, 27. J:
