- And so Coach Birkett is including
a a little sermon at each Tech prac-
Session week. He's telling his boys that they probably “won't be able to hear the cheers of some 800 , home-town Hammondites above 14,‘000 other less friendly voices. But he wants his boys to play the same steady style that has brought them through thee tournaments even when e. guy from southeastern Indiana is shaking his both fists or showering the substitutes with eonfetti.

Throughout the sectional and regional Hammond Tech’ was a sixman combination led by Stanley Shimala, a 6-foot-3 center who led the Tigers’ scoring with 41 points in the four games. Able support was' given Stanley by Bob Kramer, who scored 25 points; Mike Bacanic, who tallied 16; John Thomas, with 31, and John Gaul, who totaled 17. Dick Haack was the other player who saw action, but Tech fans are satisfied that |there’s enough reserve strength in their four other certified players, Bob Haack, Joe Abatie, Dick Smith and John Kielbowide.

Normie Mann did the damage, while Jack Shill and Red Doran were listed as accomplices. But | this Providence daring left. the Reds back ice unmanned, and Bob Gracie zipped all the way down to punch in an unassisted goal. Bob Whitelaw missed out on all the Capitals’ scoring, but earned his place on the honor roll by his iceclearing performance midway in the last period while he, along @ with Liscombe and Lewis were doing defensive duty. That was at a time when Jones and Kilrea both were on the red bench. Lewis replaced Gracie after Bob had been all over the rink fighting off the Reds. Late in the period Jones wheeled out of a scramble, transferred: the puck to Giesebrecht, who had gone out over left end. Again Karakas misjudged Gus’ drive into a’ corner of the cage. Less than two minutes later Jones, Kilrea and Giesebrecht were back on the Providence doorstep, and Gus drilled in No. 3.

All Aboard! |
Birkett has been a Hammond |b
citizen ‘for nine years now. He tutored first at Hammond Clark and moved to Hammond :Tech as assistant coach. His promotion to the No. 1 spot came when Chet Kessler moved to Hammond High in’ 1936. Much of Birkett’s strategy is like Kessler’s, whose 1938 team at Ham-

The 77-year-old Mack, still as spry as the day -he went to his first training camp in 1888, has one motive at present on which all his amazing energies are concentrated. He is molding a combination of the old and the extremely new into a tightly knit club for the future,\and if anyone is capable of doing the job it’s Connie.

The outfield talent comprises the A's best offensive asset with Bob Johnson, the club’s best hitter, and Sam Chapman the standout. Wally Moses completes the regular trio with the reserves topped by Al Simmons, still a slugger despite his 37 lyears, and Wilson Miles.
