Dec. 12 — I UP! — Hoosier basketball shoots the mercury toward that mid-season l»ollIng point this weekend as every major threat to Indlana'a high school crown applies the heat in almost 40 «lgnifi< ant battles throughout the state.

The Devils, with four victories and one defeat, tonight meet the Washington Hatchets, last year's champs and undefeated thl* year. Tomorrow night. Jeff faces the Madison Cubs, runnersup to Washington last year and also unbeaten this season.

The two-game ordeal can either drop the river-town Red Devil* to obscurity or lift them to the rank* of the topnotch teams In the state. Jeff began the schedule with biasing. pre-season press notices ringing its ear. only to debut into an ignoble one-point defeat to little North Vernon But the Devils came back to submerge Corydon, then pulled a surprise win over New Castle, then over Beymour. and last week nosed out a highly-tout-ed Crawfordsville team by one point. A heated rivalry billing also steals state-wide attention tonight as two leaders. Frankfort and lx»ffansport, clash In the latganeport gym. where the hosting Berries of Ciiff Weils are notably rough on their gueats. Ijogansport la unbeaten on the home boards this year, but have a small team and may find their equate In Everett Case's once-beat-en Frankfort Hot Dogs. Calumet region schools of the northern league, alow in starting, get underway In earnest this weekend. Horace Mann of Gary, deemed strongest In that sector, continued on a winning trait last night by downing Tolleston. Other fivaa menacing Washington's fast grip on the state crown —Marlon. Lafayette. Kokomo, Muncie Burris, and Shelbyville — also square off, turning the weekend battlefield into a wide-spread prun--g/\ Shopping 111 Days till
