A large delegation of fans will accompany the visitors.The result of this game will be awaited with interest all over the state, as Crawfordsville and Lebanon are the real contenders for the high school championship.The locals will make a determined effort to win, and their supporters feel confident that they will be able to capture the large end of the score.The local fans have been busy for aweek or more making calculations as to the result, and the majority of them figure out a victory for the Lebanon team. They reason about as follow, taking the game at Crawfordsville as a basis: Lebanon will score tenmore points on the local floor than they did at Crawfordsville, which will give them 25 points; that Crawfordsville will score nine points less here than they did at home, which will give them 19.
