INDIANA FANS BATTLING FOR FINAL TICKETS Near Riot At Frankfort Ar 2,100 Demand 595 Tickets By Fid Sainabury <UP Staff CorrespondentIndianapolis. Mar 21 -<U£b— Indiana* basketball fever soured to new height* today as both fan* and player* pondered the fate that Saturday will name the new 1939 state baaketball champion. Not only was the fever caused by the surge of confidence that bus struck supporter* of Frankfort. Kvanavllle Bosse. Franklin and Muncie Burris, the finalist* but also by the scanty supply of ■ tickets for the final games A near Hot was in progrea* at Frankfort aa 3.KMI fan* demanded ticket* for the Indianapolis event Saturday, with only 595 ducats available for Hot Img supporter* Preference given to season ticket holders was a sore spot with moat of the fan*, who demanded that tlley be given equal rights to pur chase the pasteboard* and follow their beloved Hot bog* Meanwhile, the Hot l*og* placidly went about th»lr business of preparing for the firing Saturday Motion picture* of Rvanaville Bos*e. Frankfort opponent in the first afternoon game, were shown to the team member* today by canny Everett Case In an effort to build up a defense for the burning southern five. The picture* were taken at the Evansville *eml-final last weekend by Frankfort photographer* In an other move of the foxy Case to be sure that hl* team had some knowledge of the game played by their first final* opponent. Around the state In the gymnasium* of the other three final contestant* preparation* tor the hectlve finale were going on in good order. Light practice was the general rule for the tourney squad* of Burris. Bosse and Franklin, and supporter* of all three quint* were denying Frankfort any advantage In the final contests. Although the Hot Dog* have been favored to win the s.ate title •mce mfrt-sesson. backers of each of the other three fives found point* to guarantee that their favorite* would come through to victory. Al Muncie. Burris supporter* cited the Owl*' record during the season. Only two game* have been dropped by the Blue and Gold quintet, and thoae by the narrowest of margin*. Burris *upt>orter* also pointed out that even though their two star*. Hubert Scheidler and Roy Kilby, were not In the best of shape during the semifinal tourney, both made the al! tourney team. They asserted that the two men. both blaring hot shot*, would probably be In excellent condition by Saturday, and promised that if the Owl* could get by the defensive expert* from Franklin in the first game, they would give the Hot bog* all the competition they could handle In the final—if the Hot Doga can get by thi* challenging Bosse team Bosse refused to take a back ■eat tn the tournament prediction*, even though the bulldog five ha* not been rated a* a title cballeng er by any of the so-called hardwood experta. The Bulldog* had only a fair season record, but their play ha* been gathering momentum since late In th* season. And during the sectional, regional and ■emi-regional tourney*, only Owensville ws* able to throw a mare Into them. The Bulldog backers say that wven though the Evansville semifinal was not rated aa the toughest in the atate, the Boaae team must be a bit of all right because It managed to dominate the alltourney team with four men on the first five. Only Billy Abel, hot Vincennes center, rated a first team berth over Jenkin*, of Boaae Franklin la the fourth “dream team" that will parade the Butler floor Saturday.
