VVith a relatively small but agile squad Anderson im- merged as a state basketball power for the fifth con- secutive year. On their way to a spectacular 23-won, 4-lost record, Coach Ray Estes, Indians initiated the campaign falling, 72-70, to Indianapolis Shortridge, before a home crowd. The following night they ventured to Muncie South and beat their hosts, 82-80. A 73-49 shellacking of even- tual conference champion Marion preceded a loss to traditional power Lafayette jeff 72-62. Pressure defense and offense began to jell as the Indians beat Fort VV ayne South, 65-50, and ever-threaten- ing East Chicago Washington, 75-73. Hosting the North Central Conference Holiday Tour- ney, the Tribe bested Richmond, 70-62, after a third quarter surge and beat New Castle, 80-69, in the cham- pionship tilt. Fort Wayne Central and Rushville offered little re- sistance to formidable zones and full court presses, while a 101-68 trouncing of traditional rival Muncie Central set a Tribe scoring record for the present gym and displayed previously untapped bench strength. Franlcfort's Hot Dogs fell victim to a well-balanced attack, 87-75. Next the Tribe faced crosstown rival Madi- son Heightsg and although the Pirates were up for the game, the aborigines defeated them, 75-66. Returning from Kokomo with a closely-fought 71-67 win, a balanced team was ready for the invasion of top-ranked South Bend Central. In Hoosierland's game of the week the Indians stayed with the bigger team and finally surged ahead despite incessant fouling to win, 63-62. Pandemonium erupted in the gym, and the state's press -pollsters ranked the Indians number one. A short week later a 73-67 Logansport victory cost Anderson the number one rating and hopes for a second consecutive conference title. Victories over New Castle, Columbus, Richmond and Crispus Attucks prepared the Indians for tournament activity.
