These bit-players, like all big stars, know there is only one place to start if you're going to make your ascent to stardom a successful one, and that is at the bottom. Of course, in a few years, everyone will be looking for them on the top -- and that's exactly where they will bel

Milling around Speedway Studios have been the top-grade bit players, the eighth grade. They have been observing the strong and weak points of past stars in order to make their class better and, of course, to prepare them- selves for the next steep step of the ladder into the freshman realm. Here their, official title will be supporting cast and they will have an opportunity to put more of their ideas to work.

HARDWOOD FOLLIES PROP MEN GEORGE MAYO BOB MCALLISTER lt doesn't matter how, who, when, or where the precedent was set that basket- ball should follow football, the wonderful thing is that it does. For Speedway's Sparkplugs of the field only heartbreaks were in store, but Speedway's Spark- plugs of the floor soon dried the tears of Brown and Gold fans who witnessed two titles slip away from their football heroes. The Sparkplugs began the l95l -52 campaign with one of the shortest teams in S. H. S. history. They were figured to repeat the poor performance of the previous year, when they were knockedaout of three tourney opportunities in the first game of each. Coach Lyle Neat saw six of the eleven boys from the l95O-5l squad suit up once more to take the home curtain raiser from Franklin Twp., 54 to 47. Then the Plugs started a perilous road trip that was to make them the under- dogs in every tourney they participated in during the season. Brownsburg looked fine in a 44-to-38 thriller, and Plainfield used Tom Myers' 22 points to set Sparkie down again, 4l to 36. Speedway fans cheered the Plugs on past Mooresville, 65 to 49, and Danville, 55 to 4l. Snow and ice postponed the Lawrence Central game, while every effort was made to play both it and the Lapel contest the same week. The Lapel game saw Sparkle present Lapel with its first victory in ten starts, 55 to 45, although Billy Toole tossed in i9 points. Plainfield's Quakers dropped the Plugs once more, 46 to 38, and won their own Holiday Tourney, while Speedway found a 48-to-43 victory hard to squeeze out of Mooresville in the consolation affair. Speedway welcomed its own gym after dropping five of the six away games by trouncing Beech Grove, 64 to 36, behind Dave Wilson's Zl tallies. After edging Manual, 46 to 44, Sparkle powdered Beech Grove again, 55 to 30, in opening County tilt, and brushed by surprised Franklin Twp., 57-35, to meet Southport in the final game. Speedway whipped the Cardinals, 4l to 38, in the final seconds of a chiller to win their fourth Marion County crown in five years.
