PgKiSjc The champton i* dead! Long live the champion I ■oOo— Th<- Decatur sectional will have a new 1944 champion. This fact wa* assured Thursday night when tin Monrm Bearkatz were ((fisted from tourney |>luy by the Monmouth Eagle* in the dosing game of the first night * aessi n -000— Incidentally, this will also mean a new champion out of the Huntington regional as Monroe, after copping the Decatur sectional ho* or*, scored a pair cf victories In the Huntington regional to advance to the Muncie semi final. The Bearkatz were eliminated In the first round at Muncie, losing to Fort Wayne Central, who went on to win the state ( hamplotwhip —oOo — The Bearkatz last night, hewever, were a far cry from last year's champions. Four of the 1943 .Monroe starting five were lost by graduation, and the sole surviving regular, Lehman, big center, was declared ineligible because of *cholaatlc difflt ultles only last week. ~ oOo — Her*'* a hand to that Minch of scrappy kid* frem JsW*r»on township. Loser* of thoir ontiro season schedule of 10 gam**, th* Jefferson lads never had a chance in Thuraday night's tourney opener with tht Pleasant Mills Spartans. Trailing far behind all th* way. the Warrior* truly lived up to their names, because those kids, only two or three of whom had ever played any basketball until this season, and those few very little, were battling just a* hard in th* final minute of play as they were at the opening whistle. Hat* off to a bunch of game youngsters, the JEFFERSON WARRIOR*. —oOo — Incidentally, those same Jeffermos lad* were top* in cne depart meat of play last night. They ahuwed the best free throw shooting', connecting four times in six chances trom the charity stripe. The other three teams in play last night were only so-so from the foul line. Pleasant Milla ccnverted only seven of 16 chance*. Monmouth hit on seven of 15. and Monroe collected aix ont of 17 opportunities. —oOo- - Some tourney Irate: First tlp-c* — taken by Pleasant Mills First shot (ml**ed>— Chrowtater.

(Failure to report to referee UM st|bfilitUte#l -000— There wa* only one major upset in Thursday night's sectional play throughout the stat*. But what an upset! The Martinsville Artesian*, choice | of many "expert* to reach Indianapclia a* one of the final I Big Four, were dumped out of the Hoosier marathon in the ooenmg game. Little Mooresville, which had lost to Martinsville by some 20 point* in the season's opener, nosed cut the Artesian*. 33 to 32. —oOo— Favorites advanced In sectionals in ihh part oFthe slate last night, although *otne encountered dim-" culty.
