It is true that Jasper is the logical oponent for the Panthers should Shelburn beat Catholic in the first game, and the Panthers can do that. At forward for the Cardinals will be Billy Mjardock, who placed on the first team of the all-sectional team at Washington. Murdock scored 328 points over the season, for a game average of a little better than 13 a game. 1

' There is no way to judge the I two teams, as they didn't meet j any mutual opponent. But, the '. Cardinals have topped some pretty good teams. Bicknell, J Torre Haute Gerstmeyer, Louisiville, St. Xavier, and Ellettsville have fallen to the Card sharpshooters. I F. F. Ward, principal of Shel-

burn, said that all the tickets for the regional had been sold, and that he was trying to get some more. Coach Weekly took his Panthers to Vincennes early in the week to practice on the Coliseum floor, and to get the feel of it.
