Saturday and Sunday. Anderson defeated Memorial of I Evansville in the final game Sun day night. 38 to 29. The tins! tilt was close all the way. The teams i were tied at 9-9 at the first quart-i er, and at the half, the state champ-; ions were out in front, 18 to 11. Evansville cut the Gaels' lead to: five points at 27-22 as the third quarter ended. With four minutes of playing time remaining. Anderson was out in front four points. 32 to 28. At this time, the champs started a smart stalling game, and pulling the Evansville defense out of position, the Gaels added points ■ easily to make their victory by nine points. Central Catholic of Fort Wayne won third place in the tourney, | edging out Huntington Catholic, 43. to 42. in an unusual game which ended with the teams deciding supremacy on free throws. The two quintets battled through two overtime periods and the score was still tied. Then each player on the teams stepped to the free throw line to decide the tilt in this meaner. Huntington matte only two of five shots. Fort Wayne made three of their first four and the consolation tilt was ended. Semi-Finals Anderson fought its way to the

One burst of speed in the last four minutes took all the fight out of low’a after a game stand against the illini. Louie Boudreau, sophomore star of the league leaders, flipped in two field goals and engineered three others before the Hawkeyes recovered their poise. Johnny Townsend. Michigan s all-conference center last season, was the spearhead of a Wolverine drive that caught Ohio State in the middle of the second period and sailed Michigan toward its eighth victory of the year. Townsend scored 11 of his team’s 15 points during the second half splurge. Minnesota quickly found it could win as it pleased when Wisconsin's i first period rush failed to produce any scoring. A record crowd of 12,800 watched the ragged Gophers. The Wildcats, however, were unimpressive against Chicago.

I Series Os Articles Relates Prospects Os Hoosier Teams

(Editor’s Note: The United Press today presents the first of a series of articles dealing with prospects of various state high school basketball teams at the 64 sectional tourneys of the 26th annual IHSAA basketball tournament opening March 4.1 Indianapolis, Mar. 1 ,U.R) Archie Chadd's Indians of Andernon, semi-finalisto in the 1936 Indiana high school basketball tournament, today prepared to occupy a favored role again this year in Hoonierdoni’e annual hardwood sports festival. Alphabetically, Anderson heads the list of 64 sectional tournaments which open Thursday—first stage in the gruelling four-week grind leading to Butler fieldhouse here March 27 and the most coveted honor in Indiana sports. After determination of section al champions, play will be resumed at 16 regional centers, continued into the semifinal stage at four points, and finally narrow down to tour teams which will play in th--final tournament. The Indians are favored at their home-sectional against eight other Madison county teams. Led by Lanky Jim Hughes, center, and Frankie Clemons, another scoring threat. Anderson is expected to stave off the challenges of such quintets as Pendleton. El-, wood, and Alexandria, coached by Norm Cottom, former all-American at Purdue. The latter team is conceded the best chance to thwart the Indians' title hopes. Goss and Higginbotham, guards, both members of the 1936 Anderson five which fell before Frank- j fort, and Wally Davis, forward, complete Chadd's first string combination. At the Angola sectional, most observers foresee a wide-open scrap among seven teams from DeKalb county and seven from Steuben. Most of the teams at this center have played each other during the regular season and eight games were decided by one-point margins. Auburn. Garrett and Angola, wi*". larger squads, appear to have the ' edge. Garrett and Auburn, bitter rivals. engaged in an early season i contest which went into a triple

overtime and finally was decided by a foul shot which was made after the final gun sounded. Few outstanding teams are enrolled for the Attica sectional, comprising eight Fountain county squads, three from Warren and Perrysville from Vermillion county. Attica. Covington, and Williamsport should make the competition keen, however. Floods virtually drowned out basketball the last few weeks in the Aurora sectional area. It would lie hazardous to venture predictions on the outcome of competition between teams from Ohio, Switzerland. Dearborn and Ripley counties. Anyone of 12 quintets have possibilities. Despite the fact that they slump- , ed rather perceptibly during recent competition. Paul Lostutter's Bedi ford team appears likely to triumph at its home sectional. Chief oppisition probably will come from Oolictic, Fayetteville and Mitchell. Most notable recent defeat for Bedfold was a 28 to 17 loss to Huntingburg. A team which lias dropped only two games this year 1 —both to John Adams’ strong Vinos tournament competition, howcennes aggregation. The intensity ever, may pep up the sagging stonecutters. Observers at Bluffton decline to install any outfit as the ’favorite" in that sectional. Eight Wells county teams and seven from Ad-, ams county are scheduled to battle it out. Berne. Ossian and Bluffton loom as the formidable entries. Along the eastern sector of the state at Brazil, adjacent to the powerful Wabash valley area, the following quintets are expected to prove formidable: Brazil. Ash- ; boro, Clay City, Spencer and Van Buren. Ashboro has turned in the most successful season's record and received added experience in the Wabash valley tournament. Coach Rex Harvey has piloted his team to victory in more than 11 regularly scheduled engagements, and five tourney contests. Plainfield is distinctly the favorite at Brownsburg which comprises Amo. Avon, Brownsburg, i Clayton, Danville, Lizton, New Winchester. North Salem. Pitts--1 boro, Stilesville and Speedway I City. Coach Henry Horner’s

quintet is built around Waber, slx-j foot seven-inch pivot man. Present Indications are that the Cannelton sectional will be a> tossup between the host school and Tell City- They split decisions In two season games. Connor, sixfoot one inch center, who was chosen all regional center at Evansville in 1936 leads the CannelI ton squad Coach Ray Eddy s I ell City five has Neutzul. center, Beecher, guard, and Hagedorn, forward, as its crack performers. Ed Stuteville. Clinton hardwood mentor, classes Dana. St. Bernie, Tangier and Rosedale, among the leading teams ut his sectional. • Dana won the Vermillion county turt'ey this year and Rosedale was victor in the Parke sounty conflict. Clintons season's record has not been particularly bright but the lads faced stiff opposition which should stand them in good steud during the heat of tournament piny. Coach Mose Pruitt at Conners ville has precedent on his side. The Spartan's have won their home sectional 15 consecutive times. This year the main olh stacles in their path are Liberty and Brookville. Connersville j nosed out Martinsville in the South Central conference race this season and seems fairly certain to gain sectional honors. The Crawfordsville sectional tournament has the 12 MontgomI ery county teams participating. Major contenders are expected to be Ladoga. Linden. New Market and Crawfordsville. During recent years, the sectional has been more or .ess of a “free-for-all" and this time should lie no exception. Ladoga probably has the best balanced aggregation. The team is virtually intact from last year and to date has won 16 games against one defeat. Umg and Holsapple are the stars of this rugged, highscoring outfit. Floyd Neff, veteran coach, is hoping for victory. Thirteen teams from three counties Jay. Blackford and Randolph are entered in the Dunkirk sectional. Hartford City. Redkey, and Dunkirk, have the best records. The latter team, coached by Bob Primmer, former Frankfort high school and Franklin college star, has won 17 games while losing three. Miller high school of Gary is listed in the East Chicago sectional this year boosting the total number of entries to 14. Coach Chet Kessler’s Hammond Wildcat's — last year's winners- are odds-on favorites to repeat. Clark of Hammond should provide the chief opposition with Washington of East Chicago running a close third. Two perennial contenders, Hammond Tech and Roosevelt (East Chicago), have turned in poor records and face speedy elimination. Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

Approach of ABC Tourney Stressl Increasing Popularity of Bowlin r RS

Sport Now Claims 10,000,000 Fans By MAURICE MERRYFIELD International Illustrated News Writer NEW YORK—Approach of the annual competition of the American Bowling Congress, to be held in New York this year, calls attention to the amazing popularity of the sport which claims some 10,000,000 regular devotees in United States alone. It is estimated that more than 4,500 five-man teams will be In ♦here fighting for a share in the $140,000 prize money when the tournament opens on March 10. Another 5,000 two-man teams will also be formed from the more than 20,000 entries. Despite the fact that the crack exponents of the art of “kegling" will be in New York for the meet, chances are that some comparative unknown will emerge as the sensation of the tourney. One of the most difficult things about the sport of bowling is to select a champion. Women Bowlers Numerous At the present time three bowlers in the United States seem to have about equal claims to the title of being the best bowler in the nation. Hank Marino of Milwaukee rates near the top by virtue of his victory in the national match game championship over Joe Miller of Buffalo and his triumph last summer in the all-events division of the International Bowling Congress in Berlin. Two others who deserve rightful consideration in any selection are Andy Varipapa, trick bowler from Brooklyn, and Joe Falcaro who retired as undefeated match champion to operate a bowling establishment in upper Manhattan. One of the outstanding developments in the game during the past two decades has been the increasing number of women partici-

pants. It is now estimated that the sport numbers some 1,000,000 feminine fans and "ladies’ night” has become an established institution, drawing from clubs, colleges, offices and social groups. Game Originated in Middles Ages’ Several factors account for the feminine interest in bowling. Not only does it afford good exercise, but it is also advocated by many as an effective method of reducing. Furthermore, it attracts many of the ladies because of the social possibilities and the fact that it is one of the few games in which men and women can compete on an interestingly competitive basis. Finally, the expense of bowling is quite reasonable and thus admlr-
