THE INDIANAPOLI S TIMES

Kansas Puts Its Hope in Allen and

OFF THE BACKBOARD

" By J. E. 0’ BRIEN

| IF YOURE ACQUAINTED with Mitchell, you know that smack in the middle of that city (pop. 3226) the main { line of the/B. & O. Railroad crosses the Chicago-Louisville ' stem of the Monon rotite. Such a situation, according regulations, calls for all trains, fast, slow, late

\ or on n time, to stop for Mitchell. 7

That's the -way it’s been most of the . Jacket basketballers, who will take on : second matinee game of the state high i like to make ‘em stop for Mitchell. ; In fact, the Bluejackets’ braking t chnique actually gave them ~ membership in the Fancy Fieldhouse Four. | They flagged down Wa. bb : inglon’s favored (yeah, by us) five to score a 20-19 victory in : final game of the Vincennes super regi al. . : | : 21) ;

i Look for an Opening, Then Go! | |

In the regional Mitchell flashed the red light agaist Salem and New Albany and allowed the rival Stonecutters from Bedford 13 points in the sectional. | en Henry Polson seldom permits speed when his Mitchell boys are attacking. They go down the! floor deliberately, look for ' an opening and then attempt to punch through. | The ten boys who are’ to do Mitchell's title work at the Field- : house range in height from 5-10 to 6-4. Team captain is Howard © Hutton, who serves as guard and ball feeder. Hutton is six feet tall - and was part of the 1938-39 Mitchell combination that won the : sectional crown. 3 Bill Jones fills the pivot spot with his 6-feet-4 of altitude and 178 pounds. He is one of the high scorers of the club. Red-haired Duane Conkey is the other regular guard, while Roy (Whitey) Ramey .. is a forward. : Ramey is the fifth of his family to wear a Blue Uniform in i

years. A brother, Walter, was on the team uritid the sectional tournament, but the I. H. S, A. A. age law caught him then and he had +. to resign. The other regular forward is Marvin York, a 160-pound junior who is an even six feet tall. He carries No. 13 on his working togs. Other squad members are Wayne Bass, Charles Lewis, Bryan Ellis, Howard Sanders and Kenny Burton. ) | : Franklin Alumni Do the Thinking | ; ‘he South Side game, incidentally, will pit two Franklin grad- { uates, for Polson, like Coach Burl Friddle, attended the Grizzly school. He was graduated from Paoli High School in 1932 and re- . turned to the same school two yéars before moving to Mitchell. ! In regular season play Mitchell won 17 and lost five. The | five losses were. inflicted by Bedford, Oolitic, Jasper, Seymour and Hunt-. ingburg. The Bluejackets, however, turned the tables on Bedford and { Oolitic in later games. | I [Three defeats were marked against the Blues in their first six : games, but since then they've dropped only, two and have been moving - along coolly and confidently. } The team and 650 backers who have tickets are. expected in Indi- : anapolis late today. Many others without tickets are coming along. Al : are pretty sure the Archers will stop for Mitchell,

(Phog) Allen, completing his 30th year as a hardwood coach, probably will start five Kansas lettermen who lave collected more than 700 points this season. Chief point-pourer for the Jayhawks is Ralph Miller, whose 204 points during the regular season earned him a berth ¢n the all-Big Six team. This is Miller’s second year on the team, and his ballhandling, guarding aid passing are regarded on a par with his shooting. Kansas fans claim he’s the equal of Red DeBarniidi, one of the game's most outstanding players. weighing 175 pounds and is 20 ye:zrs old. The other regular : Jorwere is Don Ebling, who is doing 'his third year of varsity duty for | Kansas. He's the only regular wh) doesn't come up to the six-foot njark, but he is considered an excillent rebound man in spite of his lack of height. Don is the brother of Ray Ebling, Kansas all-Americail forward who graduated in 1936. |Set shots and free throws are his [specialty.

son. In a game that saw the score tied three times and the lead change hands 16 times, the juniors fought an uphill battle to win with Lyle Neat scoring 12 points for the victors and George Knobel registering 13 for the losers. The contest was something new to Fieldhouse atmosphere - this year. The game‘was played on a high-school size floor, shortened 20 feet for the state prep finals tomorrow, and bore all the earmarks of a typical Butler-Notre Dame grudge battle. ” ” ”» FRIENDSHIP WAS cast aside as elbows became the predominant means of offensive attack. Expecting rough play, the personal foul rule was altered to allow five offenses before ejection. During the second half, everything was offense as the two clubs crossed the middle-line like a ping pong ball. The juniors were behind 16 to 12 at the half. They tied the count at 26-all and from there went ahead for good. Coach Tony Hinkle was not present and if he had been he would have seen the wildest game of the year. Miraculous. one handed shots, contrary to Hinkle's style, were made. So intent were the respective teams upon victory that timeouts were practically forgotten despite early perspiration and the ‘want of breath.
