Buck, conductor of Out-Of-Bounds 'in the News-Banner, refuses to pick even a probable winner. Can't blame him. Here's what Buck has | to say: None Consistent ’’A fan told us the other evening that the peculiar aspect about the sectional tourney here was the fact that there wasn't a consistent I team entered from either Adams I or W'ells counties. All have shown reversal ot form from time to ' time throughout the season. Berne, the toughest Adams county entry, has played up and down all season. | ’’AU of the Wells county fives have performed in like manner. ) I Union Center and Ossian perhaps I could claim to be the most coni sistent, but both of them wound I up the season in a very inconsistent manner, Ossian dropped a 33 to 19 game to the trailing Dodgers, and Union buckling up in a clash at Elmhurst. ‘‘With all of the record consider ed, dopesters will find plenty of headaches in trying to pick the winner this year.’’ Standings ot the Wells county teams at the close of the season: Team W.

(Editor’s note: This is the third of four article* reviewing prospects of teams at the 64 sectional tournaments of the annual Indiana high school basketball tournament which opens Thursday ! Indianapolis. Mar. S.—■(U.RX With its prestige heightened by a dramatic victory over Frankfort, defend I ing state ehumpion, Logansport to- ! day moved into the front ranks of ■ major contenders in the 26th anI nual Indiana high school basket ! ball tournament which opens tomorrow , The Berries last weekend became the second team to beat | Frankfort this season when they I turned back the Hot Dogs. 38 to i 16, in the final game of the ’Wgui lar campaign. Only Jefferson of ! Lafayette holds a similar distinction. The victory indicated what many fans have felt all season, namely, that coach Cliff Wells was groomling hi team carefully, bringing it 'slowly up to peak strength for the i annual hardwood classic. The Berries seem definitely to have arrived. The veteran coach has not lost . a sectional tournament since he’s , been with Logansport and this year the Berries are again favored to win from the field ot 11 Othf er Cass county quintets. Ixigansport has four of the five members of last year’s team, which lost by one point to Frankfort at the Gary semi-finals, available. It is reasonable to expect that the . famed Cliff Wells’ “figure eight” plan of attack will be much in evidence throughout the tournament. At the LaPorte sectional, to . quote coach Lefty Veller of the host school: “Anyone of 14 , county aggregations can take this • one. It is the most evenly match- ■ ed sectional we’ve had in years." larPorte and Michigan City are ‘ the two larger squads in the tourney and they have split even in , their two games this season. Uni ion Mills, with a record of 16 wins ' against two defeats, and Clinton i township, with 15 victories and i three losses, rate next to the lead--1 ers. I LaPorte appears to be the favorite, however. The Veller squad tied for runnerup honors In the eastern division of the NIHSC this year. Coach Butch Neuman s Lebanon I Tigers face strongest opposition at I their home tournament from ZionsI ville and Jamestown. With one exIception. the Zionsville regulars ! stand well over the six foot mark i and have played together three | seasons. The Eagles won the county tournament in January and lost only one game this season to Jamestown. Six other Boone county quintets complete the field. Marion is favored to take sectional honors at its home tourney from seven other Grant county fives. The host school has won the meet every year since 1929. This season they face stiff competition from Fairmount, Van Buren and Jefferson township. At Martinsville, coach Glenn Cur- | tis, dean of Hoosier hardwood men- ! tors, and his Artesians seem about . due to recapture some of the glory ! and fame of former years. Long I an acknowledged center of fine bas- ; ketball. Martinsville, after several lean seasons, is climbing back to the heights, to that legendary era when the Artesians were the source ot all tournaments. This season Martinsville turned in a creditable record, losing the |south central conference flag by a 1 matter of a few points to Conners- ! ville. Shane. Holler. Pearcy, Max- ! well, Cramer and Prewitt will at- ‘ tempt to carry the Artesian colors

Joseph’s county fives) at the Mishawaka tournument seem about evenly matched. None was i particularly Impressive this season. I Mishawaka, Riley of South Bend, Michigan City or Central or South' Bend all have equal opportunitfee. f it would be difficult to predict a' • winner. A perplexing situation prevails' . ut the Monticello tournament. Six of the ten competing teams Reyn- - olds, Brookston. Chalmers, Monon, i Wolcott and Monticello- are exi pected to make the sectional anil other county tournament; a bitter - fray in which upsets will be the f' rule rather than the exception. ‘ Eleven teams are entered al the i Morocco sectional They are Rens ■ selaer, Brook. Morocco. Kentland, , I Goodland. Remington, Mount Ay- . er, DDemotte. Fair Oaks. Test, and t! Wheatfield. Rensselaer and Good- ‘ j land look best. The latter quintet has a six-foot five-inch center and ) two speedy forwards who hit for I a nice percentage of points durt) ing the regular campaign. <• Central and Burris, both of MuuI’cie, and Daleville are expected to dominate the Muncie tourney • against opposition from 10 other Delaware county aggregations. ‘ Coach Pete Jolly's Central squad ) apparently did not hit its stride until late in the season and seem ■' likely to continue a long-establish- ' ed custom of winning its home sectional. Daleville, county titlehold- ' er. is the chief dark-hore. . 1 Some of the keenest basketball 1 i in the annual March classic may ' come forth from the Nappanee 1 center with Elkhart, NIHSC champi 1 ion. Goshen and the host team making it a tough battle. Captain Bill Tipmore. lanky Jim Carberry. Joe Pattinelii, Ray Bringle, Dale Swihart and Lanny Larsen look like a winning squad, however, and ) Elkhart is favored to emerge unscathed. The flood ravaged hopes of a definite tournament threat at the . New Albany sectional. Jeffersonville was forced to withdraw and coach Charles McConnell has been
