Score Os 20 Game Winners In Regional* Indianapolis, Jfar. 2 —(IT) —A score of ‘'2o game winners” remains in the running among the 64 teams competing Saturday for th* IW regional championships of the 1015 Indiana high school basketball tournament. Only seven of 20, however, figured to (merge with regional titles. Most of the other 13 were standout powers in the “biggest little school circuit" and their copping of regional crowns would rate as decided upsets. The “winningest" team remaining, of course, was the undefeated Warriors from tiny Waynetown. They now own 25 consecutive decisions. Next in line on a won and lost basis — was Eden, a Idman quintet drawn from a high school enrollment, of 21 boys. Eden captured 24 of 25 starts. fn a two-way tie for the show honors were Indianapolis Broad Ripple, opening round foe of i Eden at the Anderson regional, and Fairmount. Both triumphed in i.B of 24 games, and both suf-; sered their only defeat by one point. Jasper’s mighty Wildcats, con- 1 census choice to carry off the ' state championship currently held by the Evansville Bosse Bulldogs,■ were the only other quintet left in the race without more than one defeat. Coach Leo C. (Cab- < by) O’Neil's Wildcats boast 21 1 victories in 22 games. South Bend Riley (won 23-lost 2) at South Bend, Linton (21-4) at Terre Haute, Kokomo (20-3) at Marion. Auburn (20-2) at Fort Wayne, Jeffersonville (20-2), Jasper (21-1) at Vincennes and Waynetown (25-0) at Attica were 'he ”20 game winners” apparently headed for entrance into the ‘‘sweet sixteen round’- of the state tourney. Seven of the 1(1 regionals will lack a club with 20 or more victories for the season. They are: Evansville, Hammond. Huntington, Muncie, Logansport, Rushville and Shelbyville.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA.

Ik Manlull —

i — Hopes of Berne and Adams county basketball fans soared today when it was learned that Fred Lehman, veteran guard of the Berne Bears, will be available for the regional tournament at Huntington Saturday. —oOo — Lehman, who captained the : Berne squad to victory in the sectional tourney here last week, enlisted in the navy several weeks ago, and was ordered to report this week. However the entire group sent from Fort Wayne Tuesday, for j examinations at Indianapolis, was sent home under delayed' Induction to await future call to service. Lehman practiced with the Bears on the Huntington floor Thursday afternoon. Tlie Bears will meet the Dunkirk ' Speedcats, Hartford City sectional winners, in the second game of the regional tomorrow afternoon. The Huntington Vikings will .tangle with the Chester Center Indians, winners at Bluffton, in the first regional tilt at 1:30 o’clock. The afternoon winners will meet at 8 o’clock, with -the regional champion advancing to the Muncie semifinal, the following Saturday. Berne will be seeking to extend the Decatur sectional champions winning streak of regional crowns to three in a row tomorrow. The Monroe Bearkatz won the regional title in 1943, and the Decatur Yellow Jackets repeated the feat last year. Both Monroe and Decatur fell before Fort Wayne Cenutral in the Muncie semifinal in first round games. However, Central is not in the running this year, dropping out in the semi-finals of the Fort Wayne sectional last week. —oOo— Officials for the regional tournaments were announced last night by the Indiana high school athletic association. Referees at the Hunt-

ington meet will be Fred White and Harold McSwane. —oOo — Berne made the best defensive record in sectional play of the four teams entered in the Huntington regional. .The Bears limited thenopponents to an average of 26 points per game. Huntington was .second best on defense, limiting I opposition to 27 points per game, | while Dunkirk’s rating was 29 points and Chester Center’s 36. I However, Chester had the beet of- | fensive mark with a naverage of j 46 points per game. Berne and I Huntington each average 43 iwiins | I and Dunkirk 42. Ross, Dunkirk forward, seeming- | ly will be the boy for the Bears to watch tomorrow afternoon. Ross tallied a total of 80 points in his team’s four sectional games, an i average of 20 pointe per tilt. Pretty fine shooting. BEST OF LUCK, BEARS! FAVORS USING (Continued From Page One) first. The President apparently had the support of a substantial majority of the house and senate for the Crf- ! mea decisions and the ultimate world security organizations. Congressional coinment on his report | indicated he could expect strong supiport from IRepuibliieans as well as Democrats for his< general objectives. z The President was unable to attain from x-ongress a unanimous vote of confidence such as Churchill got in the house of commons. Some ißeptYblicans and some Democrats were critical of the Crimea report. But experienced congressional cibservens believe there is a definite trend toward forcelful postwar peace guarantees.sueh as Marshal Josef V. Stalin, Churchill and Mr. Roose.velt have been discussing. There is some congressional disappointment that the President docs not fake the legislative branch further into his confidence. There ■is fear that same of the secrets withheld from congress are of great- ,-politleal than military significance. But aside from the question of Poland there has not developed any direct challenge to the Crimea agreements. (There 'was both tßepubM-can and , Democratic abjection to the Polish : settlement, but there was no evidence that sympathy for Poland -would win majority votes away from the ultimate postwar peace objectives.
