I Evnnsville Bosse doean't win. Five to one that Franklin doesn't win On the first two games, the man who takes your money waa willI ins to het you: 1 Even money that Frankfort I heats Ruaae by five points 2 Even money that Frankfort ■ ’ doesn't beat lloaae by eight pohlta , .1. Even moey that Burris heats j Franklin by two points 3 Even money that Burris heats ' doesn't beat Branklin by live > I points iOn ties the house wins i > Interpreting the bookies' quota-’ 'lions. If you put up nine on the Hot Bogs to wm. and the Hot Doga win. you'll get your nine ha< k plus five. If you like llutrls. one will get you four If the Owls j come through. Likewise. one will get you four and one half or five respectively on Bosse and Frank Ba. On the single games. If Roane takes the Hot Doan or If Frank fort can't put together a five-point margin or better on the Bulldogs, you win. On betting possibility number 8. If Frankfort wins, but by fewer than eight points, again you'll collect. In the first betting combination <>n the Burris-Franklin scramble. It Franklin wins, or holds the Owls to only a one point victory, you win On the Una) betting poaaibil-1 ity. it Burris wins but has less than a five point advantage, you'll win. One fact was apparent from the odds which the experts quoted on the Anal tourney ranking of the four teams that the offensively jKiwerful teams were rated higher than the strong defensive teams, i Frankfort and Burris, rated al i the top. are the strong offensive ( teams Frankfort has a tourney s<-oring average of nearly SO points. 1 while Burris has average nearly " 40 points per game in tourney ‘ Play Franklin, on the other hand, has held its tonrnes opponents to less than Jo points per game, while Bosse has gone through tourney 1 play to date with its opponents averaging only 305 points per ’ same. Frankfort and Burris have relatively high defensive records, while Bosse and Franklin, to carry 1 out that paradox, have rather low scoring records. TV experts odds made no ex planation of why the defensive teams ranked lower thau the offensive teams, and when the Frank- ' lin record of holding the potent Anderson team to 1} points in the game for the semi-final title is cited, there Is no explanation But the smart uoney admitted today that any one of the four ; teams can win the state title, and ' bookies said that unless the field ' was open there wouldn't be any point in betting. So Saturday the strong offensive ' teams will meet the strong defensive teams, and after the smoke is blown away. the 1438 champ will , stand before the public—but whether it will be a defensive team Or ’ an offensive team la one qustion the bookies odds can't and won't J answer.
