NORTHERN FIVES CONTENDERS FOR TOURNEY CROWN Teams From Northern Part Os State Stronger Than Usual (Editor’s note: The following is the first of four articles dealing with the 16 regional tournament* thia weekend). By Bernard Crandell, (VP. Staff Correspondent) Indianapolis. Mar. B.—<U.R) The winner of the Michigan City regional tourney has a great chance this month to break the deathgrip north central conference teams have had on the Indiana prep basketball title the last 13 years. Since 1925 only three quintets outside the north central have swept the championship series. This year, with a powerful set of teams in the north section of Hoosierdom. the result might be differ- — Last Time Tonight — Your Last Chance to see—"THE AWFUL TRUTH” Irene Dunne, Cary Grant ALSO—Popeye Cartoon &.

ent. Ilummond of LaPorte In a acniifinal of (he Michigan City regional (will knock one out for the season, ' but the victor very likely will send i I the strongest team in the north: to the Lafayette semi-final, the north's port-of-entry to Indianapolis March 26. I Hammond bns height, and a, ' mass attack by three sharp-shoot-ers —Mygrants, Hasse and Sobek —and two tough rebound men. Ziemba and Scott. Coach Chet Kessler, with such balance, has a only to watch over-confidence. LaK Porte, on the other hand, cannot s equal the Wildcats' around the backboard. This in the final analysis might be the deciding facti or. Salek. Luber and Swanson lean easily match shooting accurI aey with the Wildcats. R I Emerson of Gary is In an ideal ! spot to conserve its energy in the first tilt with Renssalear, then blast 3 i the dope bucket wide open in the j ■ evening final. The Norsemen are . s powerful and have a forward. Pete . • j Fogo, considered one of the best I lin the state. Hammond has de-1 s seated them twice. It's a psycho-I ? logical set-up which gives them a . ■ wide edge. f j Rochester. 1937 quarter finalist. - ’ has in its regional Culver. Elkhart - j and South Bend Washington. Com- ■ parative season records point to I the Blue Blazers for a title, as . Huntingburg's record pointed it for la sectional victory. Elkhart nearI ly flopped when Wakarusa pushed I into an overtime in the sectional final. Washington puts its surprising team against the Blazers in the first scrap. After a poor i season, the South Bend five suddenly found itself and is tough enough to cause trouble for two more weeks. Steve Bagarus. an all-state forward, is the power plant of the team. , Coach Lyle’s Zebras, not so strong as last year, might be stampeded by Culver. With Ches- > ter Crump, a big center who leads scoring, plays the back boards and directs the team, Culver is virtually a one-man team. Polk is outstanding for the Zebras. It's a • bad bet to place too much on any quintet in this regional. The Warsaw Tigers have their ■ regional under control. Meeting Columbia City in the first game, the Tigers must throw all available scoring punch into action. C<>-_ lumbia nearly always reaches the I peak in goal-making. In its last i two games of the sectional Colum- ' bia averaged 49 points. Light. I Buell, Detterman and Ferguson are I Warsaw's elLength. They defeated Elkhart this season. Garrett and Kendallville round ■ out the Warsaw tourney. Garrett ' lost only one game in the north-_ | eastern conference this year and ■ is regarded the dark-horse of the > series.

tet. Fort Wayne again this year might send a cheering section to the Butler field house in Indianapolla. List season It was Central. Now it la South Side, The Archers, finishing one of their best years and champs of the northeastern conference, tangle first with Huntington. Again come chances for un upset. Huntington amushed Warsaw. 40 to 20. which indicated more than just a "hot" i night. The Southaiders defeated Huntington, 51 to 34, in their only match. Ridgeville and Bluffton in the upper bracket have small fives capable of a close game between themselves but are expected to take a nose-dive against either either Huntington or South Side. Whoever comes from the four northern regional will be fair representatives for the Muncie and Lafayette semi-finals. Although many outstanding quintets will be eliminated before the semi-finals. Hammond. LaPorte, Elkhart. Warsaw or South Side Fort Wayne have one of those big chances to become the first state titalist the north has had in history of IHSAA. o————— ■ a (fd One week ago more than 700 Indiana high school basketball . teams had high hopes of remain- 1 ing in the running for state titular honors. Today, only 64 of these j are still in the race, and shortly I after 9 o'clock Saturday night, all but 16 of these will be eliminated. —dOo>— To the Decatur Yellow Jackets. Basketbawl offers congratulations for their splendid showing in the Fort Wayne sectional. The Jackets confounded their ‘critics’ by marking up a decisive triumph over the Monmouth Eagles in the first round, and then pushed the Harlan Hawks all ove rthe floor to register a one-sided victory in the second round. Facing an admittedly great team in the South Side Archers in the semi-finals, the Jackets made a real battle of it until superior man power told midway in the second quarter, with the Archers going on to win easily. Even then, Decatur scored 37 points against the sectional champs. —oOo— South Side was easily the class of the Fort Wayne tourney. with the Central Tigers the only team to offer the Archers much of a battle. According to pre-tourney dope. South Side should have little trouble in its regional meet Saturday, with its real battles one week further ahead in the Muncie semi-final. —oOo — Ridgeville, winner of the Hartford City sectional, and Bluffton, triumphant in its own sectional, will meet in the opening game of the South Side regional Saturday i afternoon at 2 o’clock, followed iby the South Side-Huntington I clash. The afternoon winners will battle for the regional crown Saturday night at 8 o’clock. Only one major upset marked last week's sectional play, with Jasper eliminating the Happy Hunters from Huntingburg in the final game. Huntingburg last year advanced to the finals of the state tourney at Indianapolis, knocking off Fort Wayne Central in the afternoon. but losing to the Anderson Indians for the state championship. Chances of Huntingburg coming through to the championship this year were favored by sports experts. But so it goes. —oOo — Note that writers and fans are making quite a hullaballo over that 51 to 0 game marked up in one of last week’s sectionals. Shucks, that's nothing. Quite a number of years ago. Basketbawl witnessed a game at Bluffton, when the Bluffton Phi Delts, at that time a real power in independent circles in this section of the country, marked up a shut-out victory over a quintet from Celina, Ohio. Don't remember the exact score, but as near as memory serves, the score was either 126 to 0 or 136 to 0.

FOOR HOOSIERS NAMED ON ALL STAR QUINTET Four Os Five Big Ten All-' Stars Products Os Indiana (Copyright 1938 by United Press) Chicago. March 8— (U.PJ Pout brilliant marksmen —all from the I state of Indiana-and one of the} finest defensive players ever to i compete in the Big Ten were I named today on the United Press i all-eonference basketball aelec-1 tlons. Jewell Young of Purdue and Michigan’s Capt. John Townsend, two of the four high-scoring products of Indiana prep schools, were . unanimous choices for the second ' consecutive year. Both are forwards. Gene Anderson, also a key member of Purdue's Big Ten champions, I was named at center. Ernie Andres of Indiana, holder of the con- ( ference scoring record for a single game, and Martin Rolek of Minnesota were the first team guards.' All but Rolek came from Indiana Alternates were Ben Stephens of lowa and Jim Hull. Ohio State, forwards: Lewis t Pick) Dehner. Illinois, center: Paul Maki. Minnesota. and Ad Vance of Northwest- ( ern. guards. Recommendations of conference coaches, newspapermen and regular campus correspondents figured in the selections. In every case but one. Young, conference scoring champion for the second straight year, was tabbed the greatest performer in the league. The Purdue flash had one off night against Ohio State and failed to imprest Buckeye fans although he was recommended for the first team. Young shattered his own Big Ten scoring record of 172 points with a whirlwind finish in his last five games. Once, against Chicago, he tied the record for a single game for the second time in his career with 29 points. Finally, with 10 points against l Northwestern, Young ran his rec- > ord total to 184 points. Young is a Lafayette. Ind., hoy. It was Townsend's third year on the all-star team. He won his first recognition as a center, twice more' as a forward. Players, especially.' conceded Townsend was the greatest all-round man in the conference. Townsend rolled up 135 points in his 12 games this season
