FEATURE TILTS ON CARDS FOR INDIANA TEAMS Outstanding Games In Prospect For Tonight And Saturday Hy Robert Lu Blonde (UP. Ctaff Correspondent) Indianapolis. Feb. 10.— (U.R) — The weather man who predicted a storm for Indiana this week-end must have been beckoning in terms of state high school basketball. There will be more than atmospheric disturbances throughout the state as the sports-minded fans scan the high school horizon for state tournament information in the round of games to be played tonight and tomorrow night. And there are some mighty tough ones in prospect. For instance. Elkhart vs. Central of South Bend. Jeffersonville vs. Frankfort, New' Albany vs. Fort Wayne's champion South Siders. Anderson at Newcastle, and Franklin at Gre»mcastle. These games will be played tonight. Strictly on the difficult side are tomorrow night's contest between Central of Fort Wayne and Fort Wayne South and Froebel oT Gary, the spoiler of champions, against Hammond. These games will do a lot toward wiping away some of the doubt about teams rated as strong contenders for tournaments honors next month. A United Press poll of coaches this week ranked Frankfort. Fort Wayne South and Jeffersonville as the states real ringers. But the task faced by the state champion Fort Wayne club may have a serious affect on the Archers. The game with New Albany tonight will not be a push-over and tomorrow night an old city rivalry will be rattling when the Archers take on Fort Wayne Central. Jeffersonville, kicked from the unbeaten class last week, tackles a Frankfort club that th" coaches think has an excellent chance to reach the final tournament round. Up at South Bend, the leadership tn-the eastern division of the northern Indiana conference is at stake in the Elkhart-South "Bend Central affair. Each club has won six conference triumphs against no defeats. And a hitter rivalry exists between the two near-by cities whenever their athletic teams are in action. This intense feeling will help to attract a capacity crowd of 6.000 to the Notre Dame fieldhouse to see on the week's outstanding games. Elkhart lost on Tuesday. 40-27, to Fort Wayne Central. Another conference title will be at stake in two games in the north
