.W . 4. HARDWOOD HAPPENINGS Martinsville started the bas- ketball season off with a bang and defeated lledford. The Ar- tesians were keyed for this game, and they displayed a fighting spirit that was seldom seen in later games. The sec- ond game with lledford later in the season also resulted in a victory for llartinsville. 'llhe following week XYash- ington won from lllartinsville in a hard fought defensive bat- tle which featured the sharp shooting of the Friddle men. The locals also dropped the second game to the llatchets which was a duplicate of the first game. The .Xrtesians ate Logan- berries with ease in the first game played at Martinsville, but in the return engagement l.ogansport turned the tables and conquered the lighting Ar- tesians in an overtime contest. For the tirst time in several seasons the City of Homes quintet defeated the Curtis coached machine twice during the season by narrow scores. In the only game scheduled with Seymour, the Owls de'- feated the .Xrtesians in a short, hit and miss battle. The following week the Mar- tinsville quintet in a game sur- prising to themselves defeated the Rlackmen of Shelbyville 24 to 13 in a lopsided contest I 1 Pllll,l,ll'l3 '- l't'l-tVvAKIi NCRMAN 4' mnwncn.

Un New Year's Day Klar- tinsville entertained the lllind 'llourney. The locals, however, played the perfect hosts and lost both of their games. Yin- cennes for the second time in the history of the tournament was the winner. 'llhe scores are as follows: Iledford, 233 lllartinsvillc, ll.
