MUNCIE FACES TOUGH QUINTET FROM RICHMOND Muncie Bearcats Have Best Season Record In Entire State (Editors note: The following is 1 the second of four articles dealing with the IB regional tournaments this week end. 1 By Bernard Crandell (United Press Staff Correspondent) I Indianapolis. March 9 — <U.R) — | The .Muncie Bearcats, with the ; best season record of any team in the state, face a dangerous "upset” ( foe in their regional before advancing toward the state cage ' tournament championship which many Hoosiers have conceded theirs. Richmond will block their path —probably in the finals. Muncie I meets Parker in the semi final and ; Richmond must pass Middletown. Coach "Pete” Jolly has every- ! thing needed to point the Bearcats for a title. Red headed Jim Carnes, all-state forward and leading scorer of the north central conference, | governs the team. The forwards have speed and uncanny accuracy.' the guards are perfect passers, and the team averages slightly under | the six-foot mark. Lanky Henry Young alternates with Carnes at center and is ! “trouble-shooter" for the team when a bucket is needed. Camp- I bell takes a forward pass, pairing I with Carnes if Young starts the 1 game. Myer and Comer, two clever guards, control the back court. Parker, which went through the Winchester sectional by eliminating Jackson township, has little chance to do damage at Muncie. Richmond has Logan. Difrederico and Johnson, six foot five inch pivot man. to lead its attack. Among the big teams the Red Devils have defeated are Marion. Kokomo. Greensburg and Anderson. They face Middletown before they tangle with Muncie. Middletown's Cossacks are a team of six-footers ' Tonight & Thursday SHOW TONIGHT * at 6:3(1. Come Early.

with u good passing attack. Wright and Lovett handle the scoring duties. The Logansport regional without the host team competing Is an even set-up. Delphi first meets Peru. Peru has shown steady improvement and should be in high gear for the Oracles, who want victory so they can get another crack at Monticello. Monticello defeated 1 them twice during the season by one-point margins The Indians are paired against Royal Centre, the team that beat Logansport. Roynl Centre uses a hard-driving system of blocks to work the ball near the basket, where Johnny , Neher employs an unstoppable ■ hook shot. Coach Alva Stagg's Indians are riding the tail-end of a i great season record. Oxford has been the only team to defeat them. Oxford rams- into Frankfort in the Lafayette regional. Frankfort's big Charley Johnson, center, scored • 209 of the Hot DoDgs’ total 513 1 points during the scheduled season , Coach Everett Case, one of the | smartest coaches in the business made a record when his team | dropped five straight games before ! the start of the year but since ' then hasn't been defeated. Oxford ! can’t match Frankfort's size. In the upper bracket. Coach “Abie" Masters’ Lafayette Broni chos and Lebanon show two fasti break quintets. Both Masters and . Paul Neuman. Lebanon coach. I learned their game under “Piggy” Lambert of Purdue, and still favor the famous Boilermaker fire-wagon style of ball. Jeff knows the fasti break but doesn’t always have : strength enough left to be accurate ! after successive breaks. The lA>bi anon Tigers won 12 and lost seven I during the regular season and center around Frankie Akers, a regu- ■ lar left from last year. Morris and | Greene carry the punch at the basket. Marion's roundup has Sheridan. Kokomo, Wabash and the Giants. Marion conquered Muncie, 29 to 27, when the Bearcats were gunning for the north central title, which qualifies them for any opposition. It Libengood. Wert and Weaver—long shot artists—find the range, they can’t be stopped. The Wabash Apaches, with a reputation as a good tourney team, meet the Giants. Wabash's signal victory of the year was the upset of JefferI sonville. e It's Sheridan against Kokomo in I the first tilt. The Cats are mak- | ing a determined effort to show their potential strength which included mostly height and a pair of smooth guards. Hercules and Frey. They wilted after a fast start last December but are getting to the peak again. Sheridan battled through the j Noblesville sectional upsetting both ■ Tipton and Carmel. Bernard ■ Thompson, six foot four inch center | who was responsible for Sheridan’s ( success, will have a tough man i covering his “follow" game Lanky I Chet Gabriel, sophomore center of I Kokomo. o— —— — Farmers' Program At Monroeville Thursday The Farmer's Equity of Monroeville will sponsor an all-day entertainment there Thursday.

Today’s Sport Parade By ROBERT LaBLONDE Dayotona !'■ ■' <U.P> I* •••tn* Incredible when one remembers how much the man did for the establishment, and how its officials lionized him for so many I years, but so long ago the west ■ide tennis club at Forest Hills I grew quite indignant when EllsI worth Vines was seen having a bite to cut in the dining room, and then almost threw a straight-set fit when he wandered into the mar-. quee by the No. 1 court. This charming bit of gratitude on the part of a club which bene-1 filed to the tune of thousands ofj I dollars on Vines’ amateur perfor ! mances was recounted to me by I Fred Perry as he stalked through I the rough of a golf course here , i yesterday. Perry w « s United i States singles champion at the ! time' and had asked Vines, then a : professional, to be his luncheon ; guest and to use his seat in the marquee during the matches. Vines was still on his soup course when an outraged official signaled to Perry and flatly told him that Vines could not eat in the club. Holding the whip hand, and ' knowing it. Perry replied by saying that if his guests could not i eat in the club he would prefer not | to play in the championship. That settled that very beautifully, and I the same answer settled the pomp- , | ous old badge wearer who execut--1 ed a meatnl footfault when the former American chmpion and Davis cup player took a seat in the' marquee. Perry was given an even mote | gracious reception when he return-■ ; ed to Wimbledon as a professional last year. “I had no idea the chaps at j ' Wimbledon wouldn’t still be friend- 1 j ly," the Britisher said, "but they i treated me as if I were a ruddy ' leper. They made it quite plain. | that I was not welcome and showed me my locked, with my name I blacked off the door. I am not | quite sure, but I believe they dipp- j ed it in an antiseptic. One of the! fellows, a second-rate player who; used to travel around with me to > small tournaments on the British team marched up and said: ’really.' Fred, old fellow, you shouldn't, come in here, you know.' ” That, according to Perry, was a i bit too thick for him to stomach so. with a goodly crowd listening on. he proceeded to “tick the fellow off."

Perry was along and won the j I tournaments. Not so long ago Perry received ' a letter from an official of the In- . ternational club reminding him i that he must never again wear his i club sweater. “I made sure he wouldn't have to worry about me wearing it." I Fred said. "I ravelled it until only I a sieve or so was left and sent ■ Jit to him as a present.
