HUNTINGBURG IS CHOICE OF FANS IN TOURNAMENT Darkhorse Team. I'nderdojfs. Will Be “People’s Choice" (Editor's Nolo The followin'’ is the second article reviewing the four finalists in the state high school baskethall tourney. > By Gene Dailey United Press Staff Correspondent * Indianapolis. .Mat. 21 (UP) Southern Indiana lias had only two state high school basketball chain pions in the last ten years but ; next week-end the hopes of the , 'solid south" will be riding with , Huntingburg’s Happy Hunters. Eans in the downstate area, hot-j bed of Hoosierdotn’s first-ranking sport, are counting upon Coach ; Ray Scott s aggregation to return i home with the championship of , the 26th annual HISAA. hardwood, tournament. Basketball experts annually name i their choice for the state title this time Central of Port Wayne but the public gets behind an underdog, dark horse quintet. Huntingburg this year is the I "peoples choice. ■' The Happy Hunters have I throughout a long arduous season . and three weeks of even more exacting, tournament competition demonstrated their qualifications for the public's implicit faith. Coach Scott's quintet has won 3n games this season and lost only two- both defeats came from John L. Adam's Vincennes Alices. Wash . ington eliminated Vincennes in ; regional play and the Hunters J took care of Washington. Incidentally. Huntingburg's last ' triumph was a resounding 34-to-21 win over Martinsville, coached by the veteran Glenn Curtis, only man who ever produced four state high school championship teams.

aldy the toughest team in the tinal- Central of Port Wayne. In regard to this opening assignment, Glenn Curtis says: ■‘They're a good ball <duh. I I don't know. maybe they're not an ; tough is 1 think they are. .Maybe [j Fort Wayne <an heat them All I ik.iow is they certainly were tmi good lor us last Saturday " Coach Scott reports in (lie fol- . lowing manner: "Our boys ate in pretty good i shape. We’re not worrying." The first string lineup of the Hunters includes Wilford Miller ,|and Norman Hasler, forwards: Robert Menke, center. Don Blent ker and Charles Mundy, guards. The 193" team is practically a 'new edition. Biemker is the only i regular of the 1936 five serving in 1 ' the current lineup. Both forwards are comparatively , ! small, standing only five feet ten [ inches. They're reported extremely fast, however, and Hasler is dei scribed as an outstanding defen- ! sive player. Menke. 6 foot three inch center. ' and Biemker are the scoring experts. Biemker drives the ball | under the basket with a fast dribI Ide and also shoots from offensive territory with a left handed toss. . 1 \gainst Martinsville the latter hit I four of the first five shots he at- : tempted ; Mundy started the season with I the reserve squad but gained a ■ first sit ing position almost immed ; lately and has shown rapid inij provement. Defensively the Hunters are pre : pared to take care of themselves in efficient manner. In two semi- ' final games they committed only 14 personal fouls against Evansville and Martinsville, despite close j guarding. When the Hunters open against ■ Central. Coach Scott doubtlessly i will have a plan of battle mapped j out. He is familiar with Coach Murray .Mendenhall's tactics. Scott, former Franklin college I basketball star, came to Huntingburg in 19'5. Prior to that he coached at Monroeville southeast : of Fort Wayne anil had ample opportunity to observe the Tiger chieftain's strategy. But win or lose next Saturday Huntingburg's Happy Hunters are | sure of a riotous reception from the 1 .860 fans who will jam the ti--!d j house. They're the "peoples choice.” The used goods store hae moved : from the old laundry building on ■ south second street to the Hensley j block.

Mar. 24— (U.R) —Such dangerous tension has arisen in Italian-British relations that authorities sought today .to restrain British newspapers and news agencies from publishing information likely to incite further the anger of Premier Benito Mussolini. The situation was peculiar. No urgent problem had arisen between the Italian and British governments. The tension was caused by a series of taunting or reproachful ; statements about Italy by newspapers and pri .-ate persons, notably , clergymen. Mussolini was so enraged that authoritative word from Rome today compared the situation to that ' 1 ~ • Farr-Way CLEANERS

in 1935. when many feared war over the Ethiopian crisis. The' Rome dispatches added significant-i ly that there had been no anti ' British demonstration "yet " A solid background for the situa-1 lion was seen in a gathering bud get of worries for Mussolini. Spanish loyalists claimed a rout of tlie Italia”, "army" in Spain, which would lie calculated to dim the prestige of Hie "x oi'Omm liayonets" of which Mussolini is so proud. . Austria, long Italy's satellite, was i showing signs of restiveness. Mussolini was said to be most anxious also lie.ause of the unyielding attitude of Na i Germany Italy's present friend and world war enemy toward the papal en- j dyclical protesting against church i onditions in Germany. These fat tors needed att 'iirion »o explain Mussolini's auger at Great Britain. Britain the government show'll every sign of wanting to improve n-laiions with Italy. tine reason was the government's eag unless to enlist Italian collaboration in a new pacification agreement covering western Europe. \nother was that many Britons )>.■- lieved aggravation of Italian-Brit-ish differences would tend to push Mussolini doser to Germany and intensify hostility of Fascist and democratic factions. For these reasons officials here were Hying assiduously to prevent the British lion from roaring or showing its teetli as Mussolini twists its tail. Within the limits of freedom of the press prevailing in Britain, where there is no censorship, authorities were trying to modulate an only anti-Italian tone in some leading newspapers. A British official spokesman yesterday discussed as true an assurance which Italy gave the government that Italians who landed at Cadiz, in nationalist Spain.

The authorities. worried by 'newspaper accounts of a reported Italian def-at on the Guadalajara front northeast of Madrid, used persuasive influence—as one commentator put it —“to keep out an undertone of elation from reports of the fate of the Italian soldiers " A particular source of annoyance lo Mussolini has been the Man--1 Chester Guardian, a leading liberal newspaper. It reported yesterday that last week the Italians lost in Spain tietween 2.060 and 3.mm dead or wounded and 1.000 prisoners. It : commented editorially: "The truth is the Italians, badly 'clothed for an unfamiliar climate and fighting for a cause that is not theirs against men desperately [ contending for their lives and liberties, are ill equipped to demonstrate the new glories of Rome. Their hasty abandonment not merely of machine guns and rifles but large supplies and field guns makes it dear they suffered not only a defeat but a rout."
