These articles will appear each week during the baskethall season and will deal principally w ith Indiana high school baskethall.

The sectional eliminations, with, several outstanding upsets and other peculiarities, certainly have set the stage for one of the most interesting regionals in recent years. None of the surprises was as completely starting as Lafayette's defeat by Battle Ground hist year, but : nevertheless, several dark horse entries have made many regionals a hot bed hy virtue of great performances last week-end. Picking out several of the fore- \ most favorites, we can find none I that has a clear cut path to the I finals at the fieldhouse. Logans- ■ I port, the 1934 champion, lias a ser-; pons contender in Coach Stagg's | Monticello team and that courag-i eous Camden squad that fought ' seven overtime periods with Delphi . to earn a place in the running. i Anderson, another favorite, must | turn back the Plainfield quintet i which handed Pittsboro its first de-! ; feat this year. Coach Bill Bugg's' I team in past years has been a good ' ! tourney team, and last year lost a' disappointing one-point margin to. a strong Indianapolis Tech team. ; How can one pick the team with j an edge in such regions as the one ■ where Kokomo, Tipton. Marion. 'and Wabash are going to mix i ! things? And look at Huntington i where all four teams had to upset . the favorites. Not even South Side |of Fort Wayne can be sure of a! I berth in the sixteen finalists, because Berne. Roanoke, and Pennsville have al reaily displayed | i strength enough to defeat tha fav-i orites. If the dark horses continue their, • stride we are going to witness' I some more unusual results. In ■ spite of such events, 111 take a! ' chance at predicting the ; regionals outcome, and will list 1 1them in this order: At Attica-Waveland. At Auburn-Mentone. At Bloomington-Brail. ' At Columbus-Shelbyville.

ISSUE RULING ON OVERTIMES Board Os Control To Limit Tie Games To TvVb Overtime Periods i Indianapolis. Mar 6,-(U.R) -Overtime Ramen In regional* and finals of the 1935 Slate high school tournament will he limited to two three minute extra iwriods. the board of control of the Indiana High School Athletic Association ruled today. The ruling was n result of the seven-overtime game between Camden and Delphi In the final of the Delphi sectional last week-end. Camden won. 22 to 19. In case of a tie score at the end of the second extra period, each plaver actually participating in the game at the end ot this period, shall be given one free throw at his own basket, the rule provides. The team making the most points shall be declared the winner of the game, the decision stated. The order of the throwing by teams shall be determined by lot by the referee and captains and each captain shall determine the order of throwing by boys of his team. The general order of throwing would he as follows: team drawing first, two boys; team drawing sec-, ond. two boys; team drawing first,' three boys, and t am dniwing see-! ond thre l beys. The procedure shall be repeated in case of a tie until a winner is , determined, the ruling said. The seven-overtime game was unprecedented in state tournament j history. DEMOCRATS ARE CONTINUED PHOM PAGE ONE that statement, Byrns said: “I hereby retract it." United Press dispatches at the time reported By v nes’ statement hut pointed out it war. made for strategic purposes and that the administration had no intention <f abandoriing the President's workrelief program. Despite information that Sens. Warren R. Austin and Ernest Gibson of Vermont planned to reverse their positions and vote against the prevailing wage amendment advocates of the amendment profeeof.,l to le undismayed. Sen. Pat McCarran, D.. Nev.. hard fighting author of the prevailing wage plan, said he hoped to pfek up enough votes to counterbalance the ones which appearI ed lost. The indication that Republican votes would help the Democratic administration put over its bill was stressed bv those looking for political significance in the senate situation. It was pointed out snch a development would place the Republican party in tha position of having helped defeat a plan to which organized labor. through the American Federation of I-abor. had given unqualified endorsement. The prevailing wage amendment was defeated in the senate appropriations committee yesterday when that committee, showing unaccustomed speed, considered and approved the work-relief bill in less than two hours. McCarran said he would propose his amendment again during senate consideration of the bill. The administration appeared confident that it would be defeated when brought again to a vote. o— STATES DOLLAR CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE in other lines the changes have not been as great. The dollar now stands at 59.06 cents of its former gold value. Mr. Roosevelt retains congressional authority to make further adjustments only between the range of 50 and 60 cents. That margin, according to all present indications, he will retain for ‘ trading purposes’’ when and if the time comes to consider monetary stabilization agreements with other nations." The President's remarks were interpreted in some quarters as indicating a desire on the part of the administration to promote further increases in domestic price levels without interfering with the present gold weight of the dollar.
