MORAL Moral Township and Greensburg fought along on about even terms of their game in the semi-finals Friday afternoon. The first half ended with Moral on the short end of a 10-8 score. In the second period the Greens- burg offense broke through Moral for nineteen points. Moral got ten. And a good team went out. Moral to Semi-Finals The fighting, fast-fiying Moral Township outfit worked its way into the semi-finals by defeating the XN'estport squad in as thrilling a game as had been seen in the tournament. The final score was 14 to 13. At the half the two teams were tied, with ten points each. In the second period the guarding of the two squads was close, and but few opportunities for goal shooting were afforded. Sleeth, for Moral, got away for three goals from the field. The game was marred by the first accident of the tourney. A. Davis, VVestport center, fell to the Hoor during a scrimmage with an injury to his ankle. It was later announced that the bones in his ankle had been broken. Moral Township, a dark horse of the Shelbyville tourney, was on the verge of upsetting Cireensburgs hopes for the second time of the meeting this afternoon when it forged ahead at the 3:00 o'clock semi-final game, hold- ing the large end of a 5-3 score at the end of 3 minutes. The half found Greensburg leading 10-8. The Tree Town team put over a drive in the sec- ond half that won the game. K Boggstown Nosed Out One of the most interesting contests of the sectional was the overtime struggle between lioggstown and Moral Township Friday night. Moral, after trailing, 4 to 1, at the close of the first period, staged a comeback in the second half, which ended with the time period. Sleeth. Moral forward, got one from the field, while the best Boggstown could do was to get a foul goal. The two teams kept the crowd of fans interested throughout. lioth teams were off on their basket shots. Shot after shot failed to connect. The guards were hurrying the forwards in their shooting, account- ing for many of the misses. lloggstown got three field goals and Moral counted four. Sleeth, red-headed forward, was the big noise for Moral, getting three of the four field goals made by his team. He was fast and hard to stop. Ilouse, Moral center, made a good running mate for Sleeth. The Moral Township team was about the fightin'est gang that showed hcre last week end. The boys from the township high school scrapped and scrapped some more. Although it appeared in several of their games that they were doomed to defeat, they came back with the needed amount of fight and pep to carry them through. Residents of the township are strong for the team. li 9 2 4- Page forty
