Staff Correspondent I Indianapolis. Mar. 11. U.R“ -One of the hottest feuds and most important scraps of southern Indiana will Hare up tomorrow night if the Beford Stonecutters and the Bulldogs of New Albany win their opening afternoon games. New Albany declares it is bound for the final war at Indianapolis March 26. Bedford, having been defeated by the Bulldogs. 27 to 21. will be after revenge and a chance to be the ranking team of the Vincennes semi-final. Paoli in the first game blocks the Bulldogs as it has for the last two years. The Ramblers upset Salem, champion of the southeastern league, in a double overtime of the sectional. 34 to 32. New Albany has had an in-and-out season, coming to the top in the Jefferso

| ville sectional by edging past the I Jeff Red pevlls. Mel Brewer, six foot five Inch center, has been i their moat consistent threat. Junie 1 Weinmann ami Art Brown, two ' fast breaking forwards, are thing i erous on shots from tiny angle and clever enough to get-through for short ones. They play a short pass : game. Bedford meets Seymour tor the I third time tills season in Its first game. They split the other two. both by seven points. John Trophy, one of tho. cleverest offensive stars th" Cutters ever have had. has been handicapped by an ankle Injury but leads scoring nevertheless. Their offensive has forwards blocking for guards going In to the basket ami variations off that style have been especially effective with Trophy handling one side of the floor. The Seymour Owls will be tougher with the return of Eugene Sparks, who will alternate with Jones. They sailed through an easy sectional and are ready to shoot the works. The Washington regional centers around Jasper, the team which accomplished the biggest upset ol the sectionals bv walloping’Hunt-1 ingburg. one of the big pre-tourney favorites. The Wildcats meet Plainville in the first game and i probably will see action tomorrow evening against either Vincennes or Dugger. A strong zone defense and a rangy squad make possible Plainville’s chances for an upset,* Vincennes’ big Alices jump into competition against Dugger, the five which blasted Sullivan from . the race in a double overtime decided eventually by free throws. 30 to 29. The Alices rely on Whalen, a pivot shot artist, and Offult. a long range guard, for points. They're a good tournament team, and would be in the underdog position if they met Jaspar for Jasper has defeated them twice. Central of Evansville virtually has its roundup sewed up. Ray Eddy, former all-American eager at Purdue, sends his Tell City quintet against the Bears in the second afternoon game. Coach Mark Wakefield has Central straightened out and on the right road, and should stay there. Owensville and Dale in the first serqp at Evansville will send the i winner to the evening finals, but probably no farther. Tell City has defeated them both this season. Owensville came up through a weak Princeton sectional and Dale knocked out Boonville in a double

Sullivan, superintendent of the I : state bureau of criminal identifiea- j : tion. received a setback in his ini vestigtaion when advised that experts at the Northwestern univer-: sity crime detection laboratory j I learned nothing from a patch of skin taken from around the wound over the girl’s breast. Prof. Fred Imbau said the skin | area was too small for a complete 1 | study of powder burns—a study of which Sullivan had hoped to learn at what distance the gun that killed the girl had been fired. Some clues still may be gleaned • ' from ballistics tests of the death t ■gun. however. A report on those' ' tests was expected today. j The investigator was pressed to | complete his investigation before! 1 resumption of an inquest into the 1 I girl’s death tomorrow. Sullivan was summoned from Springfield I when local authorities failed to reconcile conflicting aspects with a clear cut verdict of suicide or accidental death. The new disclosures were reported to revolve around testimony given at the inquest early this week by the girl's parents-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. Willis W. Crabb. Crabb, president of the Tazewell County National Bank, said his son. James. 24. and the girl returned home early on the morning of March 1 and “created a disturbance.” They were noisy, he said, and he summoned the police. It was while he was talking to the town marshal from an upstairs bedroom that the fatal shot rang out. Crabb testified that his daugh-ter-in-law, thrice-wed brunette, came into his bedroom shortly before the shooting and asked to

Betty Crabb had just returned 1 with her husband from a wedding party when the intial disturbance ( ; started.
