CAGE TOURNEYS OPEN TONIGHT AT 64 CENTERS Hammond. Muncie. Huntingburg Favorites; Anderson Dark-Horse Indianapolis. March 3 (U.R) Prep eagers throughout the realm Os IHSAA sweep into the annual state tournament tonight with Muncie, Huntingburg and Hammond favorites to pound the long hardwood trail for a state championship. Sectional play this weekend cuts forever the hopes of 723 of the 757 starters to place themselves as number 27 on the roll of Indiana high school champions. Saturday * night will bring to 61 teams sectional supremacy anti the chance ,to move into regional play next week, from which 16 will emerge for the semi finals. At Indianapolis March 26 a state champion will i be crowned. i Archie Chadd and his Anderson I Indians, defending champs, were a total dark horse and considered lan “impossible" for the finals to which they have climbed for the last three years. But in other years the Chaddmen looked poor , before the tournaments, and have ! conquered. Many suspect the canny Chadd of keeping an ace np his I sleeve which he will bring out at I the right time for another grand! I slam. Consistently superior through the 1 1 season were Hammond. Muncie | and Huntingburg. They're now ■ getting most of the pre-tourney j betting money but in a state where ! any small team can throw a ball | from the center of the floor and, suddenly get hot the odds are j great that favorites will be upset Muncie’s 39 to 38 victory over Hammond in the middle of the sea son gave it a slight edge in ranking over the field The Bearcats, north central con-j ■ ference champions, open their own | : sectional tonight against Dale-1 • ville. which should be a breeze fori I the reserves. Huntingburg and' ■ Hammond swing into action tomorrow. The Hunter's chief threat.! Jasper, jumps into the first round I tonight with Birdseye. At Fort Wayne, the South Side I Archers await their clash with Huntertown to start their bid for j tournament finals. They have an | I outstanding season record 21 vic-' | lories in 24 games —to back them j and are regarded the strongest in the northeastern part of the state, i ' They won the northeastern conference. | Another opener that’s getting ‘ l close watch is New Albany and | Lanesville in the Jeffersonville I roundup The Bull Dogs finished I their season by knocking over Princeton. 45 to 20. and will have ■ the Jeffersonville Red Devils ■ blocking their path to the regional which will be in their own gym. Bedford and Oolitic also get into early play tonight, the Stonecutters expecting to start a march that will carry them into the Vincennes ■ semi-final. Martinsville probably I will challenge their advance. In the northwest. Edison of! Gary, a county team which finished i | its season with only one defeat., ! meets Lowell in the Hammond > I sectional. The Bulbs are chief [ I obstacle to the Hammond Wildcats I who get under way tomorrow 1 ! against Crown Point. The big | ! battle in the Gary tourney comes | tomorrow as Horace Mann and I Valparaiso meet for the third time this season. The Horsemen won both earlier games, one by a point and the other by two. Tech. Washington and Ben Davis play the first rounds of the Indianapolis sectional. Washington, city champion, meets Warren Central, which should let them step into Ben Davis. Shortridge is the city favorite. LaPorte’s Slicers, one of the second choices of critics, open their tournament against Rolling Prairie. The Slicers trio of Swanson. Salek and Luber has been sure death to opposition this season and indicates a steadiness that will have its greatest test in the Michigan City regional, where Gary. Hammond and Morocco send their sectional champs. Today’s Sport Parade By ROBERT LaBLONDE ♦— ♦ UP. Staff Correspondent Detroit.

But such is not the case | ! with Charles iGusi Dorais. the ! little French-Irishman who runs I the show at the University of Detroit. In this respect. Gus might I be described as “one in a hun- j I dred." Firmly entrenched at Detroit fori , 13 years. Dorais lias been men-1 tinned for no less than 30 coaching! jobs at colleges, large and small.

He distinctly dislikes this rolling out of bed at 4 a. m. to issue these denials, so he has stuck upon something new in I eoahing annals. "You sports writers henceforth are empowered to write denials without consulting me." he said i today. "I hereby deny all coaching gestures in my direction up to ! 'and including Jan. 1, 1939. You i can write the denials without con- ! suiting me. and I ll back you to the ! limit, because I'm staying at De- . troit. “This standing denial is a fine ! idea.

The frequent mention of Dorais in the sports pages Jias not been without reason. He hit the headlines first when he and Rockne were team-mates at Notre Dame in 1913. Quarterback Dorais whipped off a series of asses to right end Rockne to beat the Cadets. Using his own words: ’’.We sold the forward pass to the nation . in the game."

Ca'if , March 3—(UP) — The only hope today for the safety of nine persons abroad a transcontinental and western air transport plane that vanished Tuesday night was that the plane had been landed intact, in the eight feet of snow that blanketed the mountains east of here. The plane, en route from San Francisco to Los Angeles with six passengers and a crew of three, last was heard from shortly after 9 p. m. Tuesday night. At that time it was believed to have been in the vicinity of Shaver lake, approximately 40 miles northeast of here. The pilot. Capt. John D. Graves, apparently confused by heavy rainfal' and poor visibility in the vicinity of the Tehachapi mountains, reported first that he was turning back from the route to Los Angeles to seek the Fresno airport and later that he intended to land at Bakersfield. TWA officials were forced to abandon a search for the liner last night oecause of weather. Donald Black, spokesman for the airways, said there was "every possibility that the craft landed safely in a snow-covered Mountain tain meadow.” The search was centered in the Shaver Lake district A road maintenance crew in the vicinity reported hearing a crash at about 9:30
