Wayne Shonkwiler's fri”- toss in the final minute of piay enabled Jreencastlo to win a thrilling basketball battle from Shelbyville high school, 24 to 23, on the local gym floor Friday night. It was the second game of the season for both teams and the two squads performed

,n mid-schedule style.

Another strong factor in the Greenfastle victory was the fact that the Tiger Cubs held thv visitors scoreless in the third period while ringing up 10 points on their own account to hold an 18-11 edge at the

third quarter post.

Shelbyville, winner of an overtime tilt with th" veteran Greenfield team last week, and the Cubs, smarting under the 31-27 setback handed them by University High down at Bloomington, appeared about evenly matched. There .wre streaks of fast offensive work and also good guarding that brought noisy applause from the big crowd of spectators. The visiting aggregation jumped into an 8 to 4 lead at the quarter and were out in front, 11 to 8 at the half. Then came the third period in which the Cubs apparently found themselves and they racked up 10 points while blanking the* scoring

efforts of the Bears.

The fourth frame was replete with ^ excitement as Shelbyville, fighting j desperately, began to climb and with I slightly more than a minute of play

extra costly implements of war needed to achieve final victory

in the Pacific.

That's why the 6th War Loan
