Bogan, Dickinson. jeff Defeated . . . the smooth passing, fine shooting Connersville five in one of the most thrilling games of the season. The lead had changed hands several times in the evening, but with two minutes to go, the score was 24-18 in favor of Connersville and then Jeff started to rain baskets at the goal and they came out on top, 28-24. There Has Been Some . . . misunderstanding! That game with Wfest Side was supposed to be a basketball game. It looked more like football, though. jeff was better at these tactics than XYforst Side, and won easily to the tune of 25-10. Quite a contrast with the Con- nersville game! The Trojans . . . of New Castle bowed to the Bronchos in an excitingly finished game. The first half was all jeff. They had Thoman tied up, in the first half, but he got loose sev- eral times in the second half rally that was cut short by the timer's gun. Thoman scored thirteen points. McCahan scored nine points. At the foul line, jeff made 10 out of 12 shots. Mr. I. C. U. Jinx . . . is at it again! jeff as per usual, led at the end of the first quarter, then they took the nose-dive and ended up at the half at 17-ll Frankfort. Then the jeffs put on the steam and tied it up at 22-22, due to Bogan and McCahan, Then Cook, who scored 12 points, got busy, and Jeff lost 31-24. In The Most Thrilling . . . game of the season, jeff held the Logan-berries to a one-point victory. Wfith six minutes left to play the score was 28-20, Logansport, and in two minutes jeff tied the score. A free throw was awarded to Logansport and it was the winning margin. It was a heart-breaker to lose. The team deserves all of the credit for such a showing. That Was The Worst . . . drubbing of the year, that Greencastle game. Hammond and McAnally could not miss the basket, so the Tiger Cubs took the jeff Bronchos for a 39-19 ride. It was a rare game, in which McCahan was outjumped at center. Mike Crowe was high scorer for jeff with six points. MacAnally was the best center the opposition furnished this season. The boys that played their last regular game are McCahan, Devaney, Rauch and Hohman. If x Top Row , . Rauch, Hohman, Mc- Cahan, Miller, Newton, Korty . . . Bottom Row . . Devaney, A. Crowe, A

Dickinson Newton Miller Korty Hohman GLLQ Paced By jamison . . . a long-distance sharpshooter, Logan got off on the right foot by leading 15-5 at the end of the first quarter, a lead which was decreased to seven points at the half time. The Bronchos were not showing very good team work. McCahan had a battle on his hands at center, with Horstman, who is three inches taller than he. lt was just about an even-Stephen proposition. Newton made his debut into varsity hall, and got three points. Bogan was high point man with nine points. The Anderson Indians . . . visited us at Christmas-tide. They were quite appropriately dressed in green and red suits, with zebra stockings in the same color scheme. Their center, Joe Hallinan, was paged as one of the best centers in the state, and during the game he acted as if he knew this to be a fact. Ruh, a sub, was the best Anderson player, although Childers. a guard, was fine to watch. Newton and Hohman played best for jeff. This game was later forfeited to jeff, because of the ineligibility of the center. Shortridge, One Of The . . . Big 16 at the state this year, was taken on next. Shortridge out-played jeff, but they did not out-fight them. The Bronchos came from way behind to close the gap to 2 points, 22-20, at the end of the third quarter. This last spurt took most of the pep out of jeff, and the Blue Devils forged out a 55-20 triumph. jeff was handi- capped, however, by the absence of Mike Crowe, who had had an operation. His absence was keenly felt. The Tigers Called . . . upon the Bronchos and they brought their basketball suits along, so they had a game. Said game was truly a hne-department game. One side would get the ball, then they would rush down the Hoot and shoot, and then the other side would do likewise. This fast and furious playing made the officials dizzy. The score at the half was low, 11-8 in favor of Lebanon, but they scored 25 points in the third quar- ter, and then went on to win 36-27. After Several Straight Reverses . . . the Bronchos hit the victory trail at the expense of Wfabash. In this game Jeff did verv much as they pleased, as there was no VUabash defense present. ln this game, Bill Devaney, who has starred on the second team all of the season up to that point, made his bow with the varsity. The net result was five baskets. This was not good for high point honors, as the Old Reliable , McCahan, scored four- teen points. The Bronchos Went To Consult . . . the Oracles of Delphi, not in a cavern, as we learned in mythology, but in the armory. This was another fast and furious game, with Jeff missing lots of shots. Patton, Gee, and Smith caused the same trouble as at the first meeting, that is, putting the ball through the hoop, one handed, and divers tricks. Mickey Rauch was high point man for Jefferson with seven points. Morton Had Defeated . . . the New Castle Trojans the night before this game. Because of this the jeffs expected quite a lot of trouble, but this did not put in an appearance, as may be seen by the quarter scores, 19-12 at the half, 29-15 at the end of the third quarter, and of course, 55-24 at the end. Bill Devaney was high point man with four bas- kets and four fouls. I u U P, ,,,,,, , ,.,,,,, ,,,, I A A I t

Battle Ground was met next and they were snowed under 52-16 in a rather unin- teresting game. The Jeff high scorers were McCahan with eleven points, Devaney with nine points and Mike Crowe with six points. In a thrilling battle, jeff beat Buck Creek 38-21. Buck Creek started out strong and had jeff on the run for a while. jeff then started to pull away from them and they were in the lead at half and went on to win. Jeff had a very easy time with West Point in the final game. The boys had great luck at the basket, making 44 per cent of their shots. The final score was 54-25. Devaney led the scoring with seventeen points. The Regional Tournament . . . jeff met up with their old friendly UQ rivals, the Lebanon Tigers , in the first game of Art Trester's regional, which was held in that noble city midway between Lafayette, and the state capital. Practically all of said town being at the aforemen- tioned game, including Coach Butch Newman and his faithful chewing gum. Proceedings started with a rush, Lebanon getting off with a 15-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. During the course of this quarter Mike Crowe became the possessor of three personal fouls, much to his disgust. This, however, did not cause him to be careful not to step on the Tigers toes. He got into the spirit of the occasion and charged up and down the Hoor, fmuch to Lebanon's dismayj passing the ball, shoot- ing, and being a general pest. Because of all of this, jeff was able to cut the margin down to 5 points at the half. After the half, jeff started out strong, but Mike had to leave the game at this point. The team was tired out by this last rally, they weakened, and Lebanon rallied for a 44-34 verdict. The old Maestro P fffril
