VARSITY BASKETBALL Called the 'tFang1ess Tigers" they were within sight of victory several timesg once with the powerful Huntington Vikings and once with Noblesville. Both were lost in the last seconds of play. The Tigers participated in the tourney at Elwood on the 30th of December. In a hard fought battle, Burris of Muncie defeated the Tigers during the second game of the afternoon. In the first game of the evening the Tigers were defeated by the Hartford City Airdales. Let us say the Tigers were down but never out, for we are sure they will spring back in the near future with a bigger, stronger team that will surpass many of our rivals. F orly-two
