BUTLER SCENE OF CLASH
FOR CITY NO. 1 NET SPOT
Capacity Crowd Expected to Attend Headliner Tilt
as Two Teams Resume Rivalry of City Tourney Double .
Overtime; Game Scheduled for 8:00 o'clock
What happens when the state's number two team and winner
of 12 straight bumps up against a revenge-thirsty squad currently
pitted in the state's eighth position? The question will be answered
tonight at 8:00 o'clock when Crispus Attucks and Shortridge lock
horns at Butler Fieldhouse In the city's "game of the year."
This contest has been anticipated with great interest for
three weeks ever since the Tigers defeated Shortridge in a 60-58
double overtime game in the finals of the City Tourney.
Butler's capacity is about 15,000 and should the weatherman
permit, the "Joint may really Jump." On December 15 Tech and
the Tigers set an all-time record for a regular season high school
game as they played before 11,255 paid fans. Interest for tonight's
contest ls pitched as high as CA-Tech fracas, so more than 12,000
may turn out.
The fans will see the city's top three scorers in action, Oscar
Robertson and Willie Merriweather of Attucks, and Frank Mead
of Shortridge in that order. Robertson, called the best since HalUe
Bryant, is gunning away at a' 21-plus average. Merriweather, a
returnee from last year's sectional and regional champions, ls hitting away at a 19-point average. Mead, one of the most improved
plvotmen in the city, averages 14 points per game.
The Blue Devils have amassed a 10 and 3 record this season,
the best in many a year. Coach Cleon Reynolds' dreams and aspirations of a representative ball club are finally becoming a realization. Frank Mead's 78 Inches, Jim Loer's drive, and John Hollett's improvement over the past year, along with the addition of
two Juniors, HerscheU Turner and Bob Williams, and an adequate
bench have created Shortridge's "new look."
