FINK ALLERDICE fans that they were not to be underestimated in city competition. In a substitute game for the city tourney, Shortridge lost a heart- breaker to Manual as one lone Redskin stood back and potted longs constantly in his only showing of the season. B1'oad Ripple was fresh from upsetting powerful Tech, when the Satans put them back in their place with a well-deserved victory. Howe, Craw- fordsville, and Jeff of Lafayette pounded the Blue Devils consecu- tively before they steamed up for a stretch drive. Going into the home stretch, Shortridge took revenge on Manual in the regularly scheduled contest and it marked the great awakening of the Northside hardwooders. A powerful Mar- tinsville squad bowed to Shortridge and a fast moving Lebanon outnt fell before the Blue Devils as they appeared to be rocketing into the Sectional Tourney with a blazing finish to their regular season. The Blue offense did not cool off until the second half of the final game with Anderson. After holding a seven-point lead at the intermission, Shortridge was held to only four points in the second half as they dropped the last game of the schedule.
