‘Orr THE

BACKBOARD

By J. E. O'BRIEN

THE RETURN of the native. . . . Our visit to Central High School's -Sixth St. ballroom in Evansville Saturday night was the first time we’ve touched our home basket« ball base in some seven years. : + « The downtown goal bin looked about the same and oascely shows it took a bath in the Ohio River four years ago. . « New electric

scoreboards appear to be the only alteration. . . . Custodian Sam Shumate is a

bit sad about those inevitable hardwood scars. . . The three Evansville public schools take turns at using the hall, and none is allowed to schedule more than 18 games. . . . ‘With two-bit tickets and reserved seats another dime, high school ‘basketball in the Crescent City . doesn’t want for followers. . , . Floor bleachers are a necessity at the more heated affairs, and music is provided on those rare occasions when there’s room for a band. ... , Jasper’s Wildcats looked formidable whery they came on the floor in their] blackout suits and, “whether or not clothes make the team, the Wildcats were on’ the fat end of a 29-21 score. at the end. . . . The two ladies in front and the youngster two seats over who kept score in the palm of his hand made it clear we were in the Jasper section. . . . Roman Pfeffer, Jasper’s big man, obviously is equipped with innerspring legs. . .» .» With that al-ready-famous baseball pitching ‘arm, he pegs passes the length of the floor for strikes . . .. and keeps his right elbow out of danger under a heavy padding. « os

Cabby Goes for Speed‘

You find a close resemblance

between Jasper’s Paul Hoffman and New Castle's Marshall

Koontz, . « Almost dared to:

-sistentlv. . . . It’s a lightning fast"

break Coach Cabby O'Neill has prepared for Wildcats, and €Cen-

tral knew its job was to make"

them walk, not run, to the. near‘est basket. . . « “Keep moving the ball,” - the wizard Wakefield ordered "his ‘short Bears at the opening. . . . T', S. Ary had to provide Central height, fcr big Herb Barton had

torn a ligament and maybe won’t

even be back for the sectional.

. « « We were forewarned by Bill

Nall, who uses the alias Shots at ‘Sports in the Evansville Courier, that the Bears were going to run, ~ too. . . « But they didn’t—at least not#Fast enough to suit Mr. Nall,

+ « « The Messrs. Althaus, Schell-

of the alley, the Bears.got through

“the traffic to take a 17-16 .lead,- « « « But the Wildcats, on a couple - of fast breaks and one-handers, were in command again at 20-18,

and it stayed that way. .. . As we picked up our coat, Nall punched us and said: “Washing_ton’s still the best down here,”

but our statistician said Jasper -

looked good enough to him—just about as good as Anderson. .,

The First in 14 You may not believe this, but

Washington’s Continentals beat

Greencastle Saturday night, and the night before Greencastle had beaten Franklin, and Franklin's had a big load on its bandwagon all season. So maybe the West Side will smile again, after all. ~ Away the Continentals went to 8 15 to 3 lead, but there was fear such a good thing wouldn't last. At the half it was 19-8, with Shak 19 belonging to’ Washington. .I

was 24-17 at the rhs

mark, and then the West Siders

refused to let the Tiger Cubs do

the clawing up they intended to

do. Final score: ‘Washington; 34; "Carl Petercheff -

Greencastle, 25.

tossed six Continental field goals and a free throw; Lester Berry tossed three and two and the whole Washington team tossed 14 and six. Three Continentals were tossed out for four personals, and the jinx apparently was tossed out the window. After 13 straight deteats, too. 2 8 Southport caught Tech napping for three ‘quarters and the Green" clads couldn't close the sevenpoint gap after the awakening at the: end of the third quarter: Tech started off with a bang to take a 4-0 lead, but Everett James led a Southport rally which gave his team a 9-8 first quarter advantage. From this point on, Tech’ trailed. In the matter of field goal accuracy, Tech hit 11 field goals in 44 attempts for a .260 average. The Cardinals were successful 12 times in 42, making a percentage of .286. It all must have been gratifying to “Southport Student” who became so annoyed with advance notices in the Tech Cannon that he special-delivered the following note to us Saturday morning: “Tech’s band will be playing in the grandstand. Our student body will be playing in the grandstand bub Tech won't be able to stand the score, when Southport’s boys burn up the floor.” Uh-huh, but what’s that about that band? 2 8 8 With every Manual man but one contributing to the cause, the Redskins swamped Warren Central, 34-19, for their eighth victory . in 17 beginnings. Joe Nahmias of Manual and Millard Applegate of W. C. split the scoring laurels on 11 points apiece. Bob Collins sniped six field goals and a free throw to pace Howe to an intra-city victory over Sacred Heart, 32-21. Howe was in front, too, at the half, 18-8. Noblesville was unsuccess--ful in its fourth-quarter pursuit of Broad Ripple, and the Rockets

won 26-24. ” ”» ”

So You Won't Talk, Eh?

We refuse to let Park School's Mike Keene remain in the obscurity he desires. Mike didn’t want to say anything about the 19 points he scored against. Culver, but that is news in view of the fact that the rest of the Prepsters got only 16 points among them. But that ‘was enough for a 35-28 victory, Park's ninth straight and -its fourth ih - the Midwest Prep League. Mike said Park hit 40 per cent of its shots, but he had no figures available on his own accuracy from the field.

Bruins Tie Wings, Keep Slate Clean

By UNITED PRESS The Boston Bruins stretched their unbeaten string to 18 games last night by tieing the Detroit Red

Rangers took sole possession of fourth place in the National Hockey League by defeating the Chicago Black Hawks, 2-1. Boston's overtime tie brought them to within one game equaling the record’ of consecutive ‘games without~defeat set last year by the Rangers.. five minutes of the third period by Jack Crawford and Eddie Wisemen

kept the Bruins’ streak intact.

Stars in 2-Mile

By PAUL SCHEFFELS United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—The allstar track and field show settles down to’ a four-week stay at Madison Square Garden, beginning with the New York Athletic Club’s annual carnival Saturday. The cinder men last week trouped in Newark, Philadelphia and Boston. The Buermeyer 500, the Halpin 880, the Baxter Mile and the Touissaint Two-Mile feature the N. Y. A. C. meet, which has again gathered an all-star gathering of the nation’s best track and field talent.

The meet will be followed on successive Saturdays by the National A. A. U,, Inter-Collegiate A. A. A. A. and the New York K. of C. games. Interest is divided equally between the mile and two-mile events. The Baxter Mile is expected to produce the runner who will top the field at that distance for the remainder of the season. Les MacMitchell, N, Y. U. sensation and winner of Boston's Hunter Mile in 4:10.77 Saturday night, John Munski, Gene Venzke and Luigi Becali have already signed for the mile. Formal entries from Walt Mehl and Chuck Fenske will complete the field. Greg Rice, invincible over the two-mile route this season, may be forced to a new record to overcome the chalienge of a comparative newcomer, Mel Trutt of Ine diana. Rice scored his sixth straight victory of the current season and 13th straight over a twoseason span at the Boston A. A. games Saturday, beating Don Lash by I8 yards in the fast fime of 9:03.3. The field for this event will include, besides Rice and Trutt, Lash,
