TWO INDIANA ' TEAMS ASKED TOTOURNAMENT Cathedral, Huntington To (io To National Catholic Tourney. At Chicago ALLSTATE TEAM PICKED Indianapolis, Feb. 29 — (VP) • ] Two Indiana teams, one of them newly crowned champion of state ! Catholic high schools. today looked i forward to the National Catholic i tournament to be held in Chicago Ma ch 18 to 20. Cathedral of Indianapolis which won the state title Saturday night by defeating Jasper 37 to 19 was entered in the National Tourney tuweek before it opened, because of I the death from the state tourney a , week before it opened, because of I the death of an official of the school I invited because it was unable I tn participate in the state tourna- ' liient. Jasper, although it had not announced its acceptance, also was I legible to enter. A mythical all-tournament team j selected by officials, follows: Forwards: Clemens. Cathedral; Herr, Fort Wayne. Aubin, Jasper. ' 'Centers: O'Connor. Cathedral; j Rm-ger, Jasper. Gna.ds: Ford, Cathedral; Chandler. Washington. Thais, Vincennes. ; ... _ o — — WSffi&WL i Now that the sectional drawings have been announced—764 coaches I and 6,000 basketball players will, square off this week to make ready for the big Indiana basket-! ball carnival which starts next! Friday in 64 towns. Decatur was rather fortunate on the draw at Fort Wayne — The Curtismen go down the easy side of the • schedule — provided they can hurdle the first game with Monroeville. The Monroeville team is re-' garded as a dark-horse and that ] school boasts the best record this ; season that any Monroeville team i ever has established. The Yellow Jackets have an ex-, cellent whanee to win the section-1 al Kirkland is Adams county's: best bat. we believe, in the Bluffton sectional.

The last ' full week of intensive games in Big Ten baskethull began today with Northwestern's Wildcats fighting to climb back to share at least the 'title they won' undisputedly last season. Their real test comes Saturday night against Purdue, now the conference leader, provided they turn back Ohio State at Columbus tonight. The Wildcats will be playing on their home floor Saturday but oppose a team which already has defeated them decisively. Meanwhile the Boilermakers, to main ain their apparent safe lead iwith eight games won. one lost.* | must vanquish Illinois at Lafayette I I tonight. They were not impress-1 ive in winning from a weak Wis-| Iconsin team 28 to 21 at Madison, | Saturday night. In the other Saturday games i I Minnesota barely nosed out Ulin-! cis. 27 to 26, to clinch a first div- ; I ision stand. Michigan triuphed; easily over lowa. 35 to 27, and Ohio ' State avenged its earlier beating by i luckless Chicago, 40 to 31. The I Maroons' only victory this season | - was over Ohio State. The Goph ' ■ srs now are in third place with I i Michigan a full game behind.

The attack on Mrs. Massie I : occurred last September. The five j | accused men were tried, but a jury > I disagreed. Street fights and near riots) occurred after the incident. Then) i in Janttaiy Louis Kaikapu escaped, from Oahu prison and attacked a young California matron. Two. killings occurred during the excitement which followed. Police established emergency natrols throughout the city. One: ! Chinese suspect was questioned I by detectives. Mrs. Hope, a small brunete of i 35 who wears her Dutch bobbed; j brown hair parted over her face. I [ was near hysteria when she relat-| i ed her experiences to officers. "The man entered by the front ■ door about 7:30 o’clock Saturday i evening," she said. “He said. Give me some money.' 1 gave him I all the money in my purse, about $4.50. and then he looked around ! to see if there was a telephone. “When he was convinced we had no phone, he told me to sit in a chair for half an hour. About 10 minutes later I saw the lights go out in Mrs. Curry’s house next doot and I ran to my back porch and called to her. The man shouted. ‘Too much noise from I you. I'm coming to tie you up.’ “He came to the back porch. I Pointed a gun at me and made] me go to the living room. When I I resisted, he dragged me into the j bedroom." Mrs. Hope said the marauder! tied her with silk stockings, blindfolded and gagged her and then. attacked her. “Once I pushed the blindfold from one eye and saw his face. He was a tall thin man with dark skin and eyes. He said, ‘I don't want you to see my face.' Then he went into the living room and helped himself to my husband’s cigars and cigarets, taking Ins time al-out it. “He asked me It I would have a, cigaret and when I refused ordered me back to the bedroom with his revolver and told me not to call police.’’ The man apparently was fam- : iliar with the neighborhood and its residents, Mrs. Hope said. He knew her husband’s navy rank and ' once said. 'l've seen you before,’ speaking in a soft voice. The police department, now directed by a commission set up 1 to fight increasing crime on the island, took every precaution to prevent possible mob violence against five men under arrest. 0 ANYONE HAVING Spring wheat seed for sale please call Decatur' i phone 309 51-.3tx
