This game of the round hall is indeed a fascinating one, and lmasliethall, as it is played in Indiana, is nothing' short of llysleria. I had three boys, jack Mavliugh, lionuy King, and .Nl XViechers, from last year's lirst live for Coach Nay to form the nucleus of another championship team. I also had from last yearls team Ray Stewart, Dave Boyer, Jael: Vaughn, and IIarold Kuykendall, who would play a prominent role in Coach Nay's plans to defend the Marion County 4-team, and Sectional crowns.

My hopes for an undefeated season were shattered as the Flashes from Franklin Twp. proved poor hosts, sending my boys home with a 32-30 defeat. The next three outings were all at home and the gang took advantage of this as they squeezed by Brownsburg 30-28, trounced Plainfield 45-36, and Swamped Manual 45-28. The Naymen's journey to Mooresville proved disastrous as the Pioneers edged my boys in a thrilling overtime contest, 51-49. Returning to the friendly confinement of S.H.S., my fellows trampled a cold Danville five, 49- 21. With Allen Wiechers contributing 25 points, we swamped Green- wood 61-49. Against Lawrence Central, we lost our first and only home game of the season, 38-36. My gang picked up their first trophy, winning the 4-Team tourney at Plainfield, whipping Plainfield, 52-31 and overpowering Monrovia in the finals, 46-30. Returning home, they trounced the Hornets from Beech Grove, 60-41. The following week we jumped on the bus to Bloomington and mangled the Univees 66-37. Next on the agenda was the county tourney with my boys the defending champions. Taking on the Beech Grove Ilornets in their opening game, they posted a 38-30 victory and followed this with a 44-33 battering over the Giants from Ben Davis. This brought us into the final game with Warren Central, which proved to be the most nerve Wracking of my career. Even now when I think of that game, I feel as though I'll melt right down tail, teeth, and hoof. Jack Vaughn finally sank the winning basket in that sudden death fheart failure, that ish overtime to assure the Plugs of a 37-35 victory. The following week, the newly- crowned county champs fell into the abyss of defeat as the Warren Warriors swamped us 49-38 to avenge this county defeat. The following weekend, we split a brace of games, winning the first against Pike Twp., 40-25 and losing the second tilt against the Continentals from Washington, 42-39. My boys continued their su-
