At no time were the Franklin lads able to cope w ith the superb team w ork and effective guarding of Whitney's proteges, and with the cxpeciion of the opening moments of the first half the Lebanon machine was able to s ore almost at will.As a result of the victory the Lebanon team was represented letween the halves of the Wisconsin game with a beautiful shield as a trophy and each of the players received watch fobs with the title of State Champions inscribed upon a small gold basket ball. 'I he presentation was made by Registrar John W. Cravens for the Booster's Club and Coach Claude Whitney and Capt. Porter of the Lebanon team responded.The work of the Lebanon team in the two games it played was on a par with the work of Crawfordaville here last year, and the tea in clearly demonstrated that ii had the right to be called the champions of the State. The work of Porter at forward and of L. Dale at center would gain them a place on most college teams. Sicks at guard won the admiration of critics by his cool headed incisive playing. The team work of the Lebanon quintet was developed to a high point. Time and again the ball woulf be brought down the floor and passed to Porter or Dale who caged it in spite of the most desperate efforts of the Franklin plzyers. The work of Purdue and Goodwin, while good, did not quite reach the class of the other three players, Goodwin in particular showing a tendency to ’grandstand.” As a whole however the Lebanon team must be regarded as the best High School aggregation in the State, collectively, if not individually.For Franklin the work of Pruitt at center stood out above the rest of the team head and shoulders. Particularly was this true in the Whiting game. In the final contests he was up against a high grade guard and was unable to score as in the preceding contest. The floor work of Hanmer was fast and clever and Cover put up a good fight at guard.The game itself was too one sided to beLineup: LEBANON (51) Porter, Capt. Purdue L. Dale Goodwin SicksF.F. lt;\G.

The two teams were evenly matched and the game was hard anti rough all the waythrough. The Franklin team won because of its superior goal shooting and the work of Pruitt, who proved to be almost impossible to stop.The Franklin team managed to roll up a big scorc in the first half, the score standing 9 to 1 when the end of the first half was reached. In the second period the Whiting players came hack with a rush and scrapped gamely to overcome the lead.Pruitt and Hamner played the best game for Franklin, and Benson, the tow headed guard, played a scitippy game for Whiting. The work of Vatcr at center was also good.Line-up:FRANKLIN (29)Hamner, Capt. F.F.C.G.G.Summary: Field Goals—Pruitt 8, Hamner 2, Vater 3, Girard 2, Peterson 2, Green-wall.

The Lebanon team exceeded the Orleans aggregation in both size and experience, and had no trouble in running the score up to 28 to 9, at the end of the first half.
