TOURNEYS HOLD FAN INTEREST New Year’s Day Tournaments Feature Os State Basketball Indianapolis. Dec. 31 — (U.R) Tournament battles feature the prep cage card this weekend with fiairing of undefeated teams shooting Hoosier basketball fever to its peak. Bedford. Huntingburg. Kokomo and South Side of Fort Wayne all boasting clean records — will shove out two of their number and determine for the present the best in the south and the leading quintet in the north. The Stonecutters meet Huntingburg tonight in the first game of the Vincennes tourney and Kokomo takes on the dangerous La Forte Slicers t morrow afternoon 1 to start Fort Wayne’s roundup If the Cats survive, they will face either South Side or Froebel of Gary in the evenings finals. In facing Bedford, the Hunters, still on top a nine-game winning streak, will see a crippled bunch ; of boys. Allowing for the usual j run of ‘'bear'' stories, Bedford’sl chances to protect their ten-win season are very slim. John Torphy. high scoring guard, is on crutches. Bad colds and strained muscles have slowed up other Stonecutters and their coach. Pan! iaistntter. is not affecting a look of dispair. La Porte's height handicap to Kokomo will be hard to overcome. The Cats average well over six feet and depend on their rebound work to get the biggest share of points. The Slicers' fast break can halt Kokomo's long victory drive if it is hitting right. Last night the big Elkhart Blue Blazers ended La Porte's six-game winning streak. 31 to 26 The South Side crew of Fort Wayne is ready to add another to its undefeated string.

* * Week’s Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams ♦ ♦ Friday Alumni at Hurtford. Saturday Four-team tourney at Hartford City with Decatur Yellow Jackets, Berne, Bluffton and Hartford City, meet Froebel the only five to whip the powerful Horace Mann this season. The winner then jumps into the big game against the Kokomo-La Porte victor. The Hammond Wildcats are the enter tourney competition tomorj other unconquered scrappers to row afternoon. Although they face no foe who can equal their record, the initial game with Hammond Tech will be a “grudge" battle. The Wildcats walloped Tech 42 to 26 earlier this season, the wide margin being a surprise. Tech will be out for blood. Hammond Clark and Whiting are l in the other pairing. Both are bitter rivals and the other neighbor boys may get the figurative black eye. A "blind" tourney at Muncie tomorrow is interesting not only for its four strong contenders but aliso for the fact that no one will ! know who plays who until an hour | before the first game. At that time, Muncie. Logansport. Newcastle and the state champion Anderson quintet will draw for the pairings. The Indians, although far from being "big medicine," are in the spot position with Logansport and Muncie entirely capable of starting a massacre. Martinsville, Monrovia, Columbus and Greencastle also are going to have a picnic on the hardwoods The Artesians are hosts and will start off by taking a crack at Monrovia. Columbus and Greencastle follow. The big Allices of Vincennes smeared Martinsville's good record last night, 31 to 20. marking themselves as one of the best in the state and a tough contender for its own tournament tonight. Frankfort, the “up and down" team of the season, tries to regain its high position in the north central conference tonight at Marion. Hooker's giants are beginning to show signs of their old-time power and might break up the slow "wait and break” style of the Hot Dogs H. S. BASKETBALL Auburn 28.

Sport Parade | (By H»nry McLemore) | • * ' Pasadena. Calif., Dec. 31. —(U.R) — j Brother Toscanini, strike up the band and make it "Dixie!” Aunt Jemima, set down the frying pan and do a stompety-stomp! 1 Pickanitiies, whang those banjos! And as for you. Uncle Mose, climb up on that cabin roof and shout it out: Alabama 14. California 7That’s my Rose Bowl selection, but how I arrived at it even I do not know. California admittedly is one of the strongest teams ever produced on the western coast. I Several men on its team made all America, and those who didn't were so high up in the honorable : mention list that they would have I been the first substitutes sent in. Alabama, on the other hand, ’ didn't place a single player on the all-America and is thought to be 1 the weakest team of the five that have made the trip from Tuscaloosa for the New Year's day I battle. Even that most knowing sport I critic, the bookmaker, sees noth-; , ing but the rose for California and j J the thorns for bama. In the bett-| i ing odds the home team is a tre-. ; mendous favorite, and even those. ; loyal sons of the south are asking ’ i points before they’ll risk their; money. Be that as it may, I think Ala- ! bama Is going to win. Perhaps the fact that the hoys of Tuscaloosa never have been beaten out here in four previous starts has influenced me unduly. Maylie so, but I have been around the sports business long enough to j know that you won't go very far ; wrong if you ride with a charnpj ion until he falls. And Alabama has three victories and one tie in four trips to the Rose Bowl. Then there is the matter of spirit. Os all the teams I have ; ever seen in intersectional strife, ■ | Alabama seems to me to burn with 'the hottest will to win. The settI ing of this game is made to order,

| for the crimson tiders. The team j started the season ranked no better than third or fourth in its own conference, yet it pulled game after game out of the fire to wind up undefeated. It is strictly the under-dog today, and I believe that's where it is most dangerous. Then there is the little technical item of defense. The one thing this Alabama team has on all its Rose Bowl predecessors is in the matter of staunchness. It is a tough outfit on a team that bases its scoring punch on a running attack. And California does that. California has done nearly all of its scoring the hard way—that is. on straight, solid marches off the i opposing tackles. Five yards, four yards, six yards. The Bears rely only on tearing off little chunks of yardage at a time. And they re demons at that business. In the two games in which I saw them against Oregon and Stanford — their touchdowns came on gruelltng 70-yard drives straight down the field. No deception, just power. California, unfortunately, has but one line which is capable of executing these power plays. Its replacements are only adequate. To I stop this, Alabama has two lines I of nearly equal strength, and it is I my belief that the Bears’ startiag; line will be trnable to rip. ravel and tear two Alabama forward walls. It is no secret that Alabama will rely on the iorwaiu pass to a great extent. In Moseley the tide has a passer who is better than Dixie Howell, the sharp shooter who ran Stanford dizzy a few years ago. In this day and X,e I’ll take the passing team over the power; team. Maybe I’ll be proved wrong If I am I promise to take it nicely, experience having taught me how to withstand almost anything—but a winner.
