Monmouth gave the Monroe Bear! atr. a real hattie for the fir’t three quarters of the game, but wilted in the final frame and Monroe pulled away to st ore a decisive victory. At the end of the* first nuarter. Monroe held a 6 to 4 lead and at th* half, the score was tied i 9-9. The Bearkatz held a 17-14 margin at the end of the third n-’iotl and flashed better latskettr.ill to score nine points in the final quarter -while holding Monmouth to two pointe. Hoffman. Monroe guard, was the outstanding player of the game with four field goals and three free throws for a total of 11 p tints. Myers, forward, scored seven points with a pair of field baskets an I three foul tosses while Brandy berry, guard, counted twice both from the field and the char-1 itv stripe to total six points. Stucky completed the Monroe scoring with a field goal. The Monmouth Eagles scored only four field goals, no player *<-r»|g*e-in x more than once from i -he f old. Brokaw, center, tallied ■ :i total of five points while Bittner an.l Fleming each scored four: po'nts. The two teams were even "it free throws, each quintet mark- i up eight points from the foul line. A number of personals were i ■d’i -I on both teams, two ' men ' me forced out of the game for •nth i-vi’s on fouls.

(U.R) Indiana basketball followers trampled through the slush of a late winter snow today to watch their favorite high school teams play in the second day sectional rounds of the annual I. H. S. A. A. champ ionships. All first-round games and several second set matches were played yesterday — 358 in all — and the quarter tinals, semi finals and finals were on today's program. Os the 408 teams that remained jin the running at resumption of play this morning. 64 will emerge sectional champions tonight. It will be their right to compete in regional contests next Saturday. ' with the 16 winners advancing to ‘ the final games at the Butler fieldhouse March 20 and 21. The tournament so far has run along in a routine fashion, with no i upsets recorded in yesterday's games. Favorites for the state title, including Frankfort, Muncie. , Newcastle,' Kokomo, Washington, ' Shelbyville and Anderson, won by top-heavy margins in first-round contests. Connersville made the highest ■score Friday and Vernon the low-’ est. Connersville defeated Fair-! view township. 98 to 9. and North Vernon shut out its namesake, Vernon. 43 to 0. Scares today were not expected to run as high as' those yesterday, as competition became keener witli elimination of i I weaker teams. Two Evansville schools battled ’ fiercely yesterday, to register the | ! lowest total score, each zealously' I guarding its goal against invasion.. , Central held the margin at the end I jof the game, winning from Bossed ! 9 to 6. Hamilton's defense could not l overcome the attack of smallpox, and that team's tournament career was cut sholt before it had start-' ed. Ashley moved into the second ■■ round as the result of the forfeit, j Stendal. the "gymless" basket-1 ball team front the small Pike county town of less than 300 per- j ■ sons, again proved that five boys j and a ball are all that are needed j to play basketball. Stendal turn-i led In a creditable record this seas-! on, in face of the handicap of having no high school gymnasium. Yesterday the team defeated Ire-1 . land to nudge its way into the' | quarter finals. All final games tonight will be i played at 8 o'clock. o Boxing Matches At Legion Meeting Monday A series of amateur boxing bouts I has been arranged as special entertainment for the regular meeting of I the Adams county post of the Am- 1 erican Legion Monday night.

IMSKg®JWV I I 'V - n (By Pete Revnolds) No upsets marked the opening session of the Decatur sectional tourney Friuay night. Monro* anti Geneva came through with dejcisive v'-'to-’-s over Monmouth and Pleasant Mills to advance a I step toward the final round. 000 Harve Haggard’s Monmouth ! Eagles put up a real battle against Monroe for three-fourths of th* first game last night, but couldn't -tand the pace and the Bearkatz pulled away to win by the comfortable margin of ten points. Little difference was evident between the two teams until the last period spurt b*y Monroe. 000 Geneva had an easy time defeating Pleasant Mills in the closing erme. The Cardinals held Coach Vitz’ team scoreless from the field >ntil the final minute of the third matter. Three free throws by M*rryman formed the extent of Pleasant Mills’ scoring until this stage of ths game. All credit must be given Pleasant Mills, however, for those boys never quit fighting, despite the hoixdessness of their cause. 000 ’’’he beat entertainment furnish'd fans last night wtis the constant Iro- p'-'g of his whistle by George 1 rm’ "rt. one of the officials, durne the second game. Lambert

'rent to his dressing room to •hanee shirts it fore the second ■ rr,« v- nt vnder way and mis-- ; placed his whistle. He borrowed , ' one from Hilly Bell, official scorer I The trouble was. Lambert's whistle ' a st: Ing on it while Billy's ! Tdn't. George forgot and dropped | i he whistle innumerable times. Th° crowd seemed to get a real •»ueh out of it. Funny how these fans like to laugh at the officials. | What a life! 000 While we're talking about the officials, let’s give them -credit for working two mighty fine I ball games last niqht. Both A men are competent officials and ' ha- e had much experience in handling games. Their work was entirely satisfactory at the opening session. 000 Results at the Fort Wayne sec- | lonal went as expected Friday i with one notable exception. Mon--oeville was upset Ify Woodburn, ’4 to 12. Must have been a funny hall game. Monroeville held an dc-ven to one lead at the end of ‘he third quarter. The eoach norm t'y jerk.-d al! regulars and sent in five. subs. Woodburn raided and tan the score to 12-10. Monroeville, with just a few min- ' citro left to play. The Monroeville | regulars went back into the game |in a hurry b'.it Woodburn kept : right on playing ball and won the ; game. 14 to 12. Monroeville won the Allen coun’y tourney n few wees ago. A minor upset occurred in our neighboring town of Bluffton last night. The Ossian Bears were eliminated from the tourney by Ches- , ter Center, 23 to 20. Chesrter had [won only three or four ball games
