WRITER TAKES TEAM RECORDS TO PICK SCORE Numerical System Points To Frankfort As State (’hampion By Ed Sainsbury, (VP Staff Correspondent! Indianapolis. March 24 <UP' — Everyone has hl* own system for doping the winner of the state high school basket ball final tournament hare tomorrow, but a new nuthod today sounds reasonable, give# not only the winner but also a fair Idea of what the score may he. Thia year the system has the adde<i \ ' running about parallel to the picks of those cltltens who choose to risk some folding money on the accuracy of their selection* - sometimes tailed the smart money " Before going Into the numerical complication* of the ay*t»m. th** figures point to the following acor eg in tomorrow *> crucial battles: Frankfort 4«. Bowse ot Evans- 1 Hile 31. Burris of Muncie So. Franklin 29. Frankfort 42. Burris of Muncie 32. The system works on the theory, that a team score in any one game will be asset ted by Its previous i scoring record and by the defensive ability of the opponent. Therefore. any team in the state final* will score its opponent's defensive tourney average plus two-third* of th difference between its oppon- i ent* detensiv touniy average and its own tourney storing avrage. | It Is only fair that each team i should be Judged on Its tourney i records since many a good basket- | ball team has had a poor start and yet wound up with a fin- team. , Thus the tournament records would | provide the best base to Judge the teams' present ability. Take the first game—Frankfort Frankfort should score Ml.* versus Evansville Bosse. i Bosse s tourney defensive average) plus two thirds of the difference between 20 5 and 495 (Frank- ; fort's offensive average Thus ; Frankfort would chalk up 2oS points plus 19.3 points or 39 .8 or 40 points. Bosse should score 25 I ■ Frank- | fort's tourney defensive average) ’ plus two thirds ot the difference ( between 34.1 i Bosses offensive av- ] Wage) and 251. Therefore the | Bosse score would lie 251 plus 6 or 31 1 or 31. The first game's result. Frankfort 4U. Bosse 31. In the second game. Burris j should score 19.9 (Franklin's tour- j ney defensive average) plus two ] thirds of the difference between ( 36.<> i Burris' offensive average) t and 19 * Making the Burris vnal score 19.5 plus 10 or 30.2 or 30 points. Franklin should score 28.5 ißur- | ris’ tourney defensive record) plus | two thirds difference between 29 4 | (Franklin's offensive average) and I or 29 points. ; 2* 5. giving It 28.5 plus 66 or 29.16 Final score: Burris. 30; Franklin 29. The ratings of both Burris and I Frankfort would then be changed by the results of the first games nnd In the final their scoring should be like thia: Frankfort should score 2k 55 1 (Burris' defensive average) plus I two thirds of difference between ‘ > and 48 375 > Frankfort's of*

Burris 32. The odds that the bookmakers quoted today Imd weight to the idea that the system has some background For instance. Frankfort la dop•*d by the system to twat Ho*se by nine points The smart money men will lay you even money that Frankfort win* by five, and that Frankfort doesn't win by right points. Which isn't far from nine Then In the Burris-Franklin game, the bookies will bet you j even money that Burris will beat Franklin by two points, and that Burris will not heat Franklin hy five. Which Isn't so far from one point. The bookie* haven't doped the point score* for the final game, no matter who will play In it. hut they make Frankfort an oddwon choice of 5 to 9 to win the state title And they pick Burris a* the second heat Iwt to win.
