' Down in the Tech dressing room all was bedlam as’ ; happy alumni pounded sweaty backs and everyone yelled and laughed. And the law came down to police the Circle where the green and white colors of the champions
‘ streamed from the cars of the students.
Here and there along the roads to the heart of the City, Shortridge and Tech boys and girls took opposite
sides of the street and bantered back and forth.
Foothall was over in Indianapolis High Schools and
Tech was king.
Shortridge Shad nothing to cry about; really, they. played a good, hard game of football and lost to a fine
club. But Tech had plenty to crow about.
For, by virtue of their 7-to-2 victory over Shortridge, they were City champions and for the first time in the of the school they had finished a season undefeated. At least 10,000 fans had watched them. ride to
history
Te was a tough football game they won out at the : Tech stadium yesterday afternoon—tough to "win and tough to lose. Thwarted by fumbles, the Big: Green never really got moving until. the last quarter when the driving Bill Volk, Jack Hanna and John Dobkins could no longer
be denied.
Twice the big Tech line held fast on the one-yard line in the first and second periods to halt serious Blue Devil thredts Shortridge came out of the second drive with a safety but their power had been stymied for the day. There seemed to be too much at hand for Tech. Time and again they started long trips only to have fumbles .

THE ANNUAL Old Oaken Bucket Day in Hoosierland is just a week away and this time it will be celebrated in Bloomington. . . . Purdue vs. Indiana on the gridiron greensward, and brother, the stadium will be .
packed to the rim for the occasion. : Indiana edged the Boilermakers, 3 to 0, on a muddy field at Lafayette last fall, the winning kick coming shortly before the final gun as thousands of drenched spectators were on the point of settling for a scoreless tie. 4 Up at Notre Dame next Saturday the Irish will entertain South- {| ern California before a sellout crowd, the fifth for them: in- nine | games. . . . The other “capacity games” for Notre Dame this fall | were Georgia Tech, Army, Navy and Northwestern. “Last year, in Los Angeles, the Irish defeated the Trojans, 10 to 6. . . . Both are under new coaches this time, Sam Barry for U. 8. C. ‘and Frank Leahy, Notre Dame. . . . Barry succeeded the late Howard Jones. a colorful figure in football from coast to coast. . Indiana was idle today te prepping for Purdue, and South-
ern California also was idle while prepping for Notre Dame and ithe long train ride to South Bend. "The Trojans have won only two games in six starts this fall, but their schedule to date has included no softies. . . . They de- ° |feated Oregon State, 13-7, and Washington State, 7-6; and lost { to Ohio State, 33-0; Oregon, 20-6; California, 14-0, and Stanford, 13-0. . Like Notre Dame, U. S.

: Nine Rahs For Tech, The City Champs!
| __'A CHEER for the winner, a cheer for the loser... . . That was a dandy football game between Technical and Shortridge at Tech Field yesterday and Indianapolis sports goers who were on hand | for the combat agreed it was the real McCoy for entertainment, |'spirited play and Young America on parade at its best. Old-time high school grid fans were glad to see the huge turn- | out for the “big game” in high school circles. . ... It used to be that way here in the long ago hut in recent years the local adult public {has not gone out of its way to support the high schoolers in’ their | rivalry contests. Interest in yesterday’s main attraction was city-wide and In- | dianapolis responded in a big way. . . . The high schoolers really | turned it on and relatives and friends of the players of both teams {never received more close action for the price of a ticket. Congratulations are in order for Coach Robert Ball and his || Tech Greenclads for emerging the victor to. clinch the City cham4 pionship. . , . And a nod to Coach Bob Nipper and his Shortridge Il Blue Devils for their splendid performance while on the losing end. Our hat is off to Tech for Winning a great game by coming : from behind.

Big Boys Find Net Going Bad
Hoosier hoopla “hit the open road today with the season fully under way. As usual, plenty of the big boys found the going too hard last night and dropped an early game. ; In the neighborhood games Ben Davis conquered Center Grove, 24 to 23; Franklin Township toppled Beech Grove, 29 to 21; Warren Central rolled over New Augusta, 46 to 18, and Spesdway laced Perry Central, 27 to 20 Seymour dedicated their new gymnasium and the jinx that haunts such occasions ruled as an ancient rival, took home the honors, 23 to 17. In other games involving South Central Conference teams, Greensburg shaded Franklin, 29 to' 28; Shelbyville opened in fine style against Greencastle, 39 to 26, and Rushville lost to Aurora, 43 to 36. In the North Central Cecnterence Logansport topped Anderson, and New Castle. Richmond, Marion and Frankfort won. Other outstanding games saw Bedford conquering Salem, 36 to 18; Jasper handing Huntingburg its second defeat, 37 to. 25; North Vernon beating Jeffersonville, 28 to 27, ‘and the State champions of Washington continuing their winning ways. by downing Petersburg, 46 to 31.

Wallace downed Washington of South Bend here last night, 20 to 14, to (1) carry the championship out of the eastern loop, (2) explode Whsh-

Bill Krall, the Hornet's senior
yard pass in the first half to open
from the 12-yard line in the third quarter after Wallace had driven 35 yards on power plays. Then, late in the final period, Wallace intercepted a South Bend pass and ran a play around end for 37 yards to the Washington 6-yard marker. Krall scored on the third play.’ Washington’s 11 maneuvered their first touchdown in the second quarter, to bring a 7-7 deadlock at the half, and tied the score again in the third period, 14-14, when they struck pay-dirt for the last time. It was the first time in five years the western team had won the annual playoff. In 1936 Terrible Tom Harmon, then in his budding period with Horace Mann High School, tromped all over Michigan City.
Out of the West
Like Young Lochinvar, the Hornets came out of the West defending a cause—that a Calumet gridiron pride, which “was slightly soiled when, according to Gary fans, Walace got ‘the brush-off as strictly second-rate competition since Elkhart and Washington arranged a Turkey Day post season contest to decide an old rivalry and; lay a claim for the state superiority. Wallace, ‘however, holds that the eastern technique was wrong, that last ‘night's tilt was the deciding factor in both the Northern and the State race, and that the ElkhartWashington game can be nothing more than a provincial feud. Last night's victory for Wallace, however, upset Elkhart’s schemes as well as Washington’s. Now Elkhart’s Blue Blazers can finish no better than a tie for the state title. If Washington whips Elkhart on Nov. 20, Lew Wallace will- be sole Hoosier champion. - If Elkhart wins, it will leave the Blazers and the

Lesnevich, 26 years old, staggered young Tami in the first round with a jolting right to the head and then continued with his boxing lesson. He should have knocked out Mauriello in the second or third rounds. In the second round, Lesnevich— the man with the face and heart of a lion and the body of a wrestler —hit the awkward Italian challen-
