Lafayette, Bosse Io Tangle Tonight By United'Press Handsome Marion Crawley, the Victor Mature of Indiana high' school basketball’s coaching ranks., may prove himaelf a poor prophet I tonight but he will not be sorry | If he docs. ('“.LWley. the debonair mentv who piloted Washingtons Hatch'' to state titles in 1941 and 1942, i takes his Lafayette Jefferson Bron-, cos to Evansville to face Bosse's defending .state champions. Most fans will be lotiking pas’ | this Bosse-Jeff meeting to Sat’«“-. day’s climatic battle between on: - defeated Bosse and undfeated Jas- 1 per. the team picked for nine consecutive weeks in the United Press rankings an the one most likely to succeed the pocket city champions. Bosse’s veteran-loaded Bulldogs might be pardoned for doing that, too. sine? the Jasper game Saturday and the game with Bedford’s second-ranking Stonecutters a week later probably will determine the southern Indiana athletic conference champion. Crawley himself passes off the Broncos’ chances against Bosse, going on record with the statement that Bosse has a much better team this season than the one which ] came from nowhere to grab the l state title last March. Lafayette started like a house 1 afire this season, but slipped out of the top ranks when injuries and ineligibilities struck frequently ami hard. The Broncos have had a few great moments, however, ami it’s a certainty that Crawley will hold nothing back in an attempt to make out one of the tew northsouth games of the 1944-45 season a rousing success for the not th. Meanwhile, officials at Jasper reported a deluge of ticket applications. The answer has been the same for three weeks now — “sorry, all aold out. ’ Gary Lew Wallace, the colossus of the far north, added to its laurels last night by kayoing Gary Horace Mann for the second time. 45-37. . , The Wallace Hornets maintain;';: their grip on their record of pas- ( sessing the most victories among | the major teams. The Steel City five lias won 15 against a two-pohu upset defeat by Hammond Clark. Batesville’s long-dormant Bulldogs came to life last, night and trounced Greensburg of the smith central conference, 39-15. Tae Bulldogs, studded with experienced talent from strong clubs of th ■ past two seasons, have won eight whil ■ . losing six this time.
