Hammond and Indianapolis Tech have tourneys on tap for Monday, with 10 more meets set for New Year's day. The other of 19 major holiday meets wax run off last Saturday at Muncie, with Richmond a surprise winner. From here, the tourney picture looked like this: At laifayette (tonight, tomorrow) opening round matches Jasper with respected Fort Wayne North and l.afayvtte Jeff witn so-so Bloomington. Jasper was favored, but only Bloomington could stage an “upset.” At Routh Bend (tonight, tomorrow. Saturday) — tonight's card sends South Bend Washington against defending champions Michigan City ami Mluhawuka against South Bend Central. The Mishawa-ka-Central winner has the nod to take the title. Riley and Adams, both of South Bend; Goshen and Nappanee complete the field. At East Chicago (tomorrow) — unbeaten East Chicago Washington was a logical choice to mark up its eighth and ninth victories, la Porte seemed capable of a surprise, with Whiting and East Chicago Roosevelt likely “also rans.” i At Indianapolis Cathedral (toI morrow* - once-beaten Evansville Memorial appeared much stronger than Hatred Heart and Cathedral, Imth of Indianapolis, or Anderson St. Mary’s At Gary (tomorrow. Saturday) Gary Wallace held a slight edge over Gary Mann, Gary Emereon and possibly Gary Edison with four other rivals filling out the card. At Warren Central (Saturday)— The field of Greencastle, Warren I Central, Indianapolis Washington, i Indianapolis Manual is mediocre i and the tourney figures au a tossup. At Indianapolis Tech (Monday) ) —potentially one of the best meets in the state, with Columbus rating ) a slight edge over tough Indiana- - polls Tech and good Franklin and - Indianapolis Howe teams. ’ At Hammond (Monday, Tu«m- - day) Another top-notch attrac- - tion.

' Pup of Hart ford j Conn., who ia recognized as fealjier champ by ' New York and aMpeUted Mates, wan given the rlpg's flghter-of- - the-year award partially because ' he was the only cfcamplon to de- ' fend his title successfully during > the 12 months that were featured • by fistic prosperity and mediocre talent. Wee Willie received the coveted award also because he was un- - beaten in seven non-title bouts, ali though held to a draw In one; and ’ because hkr public relations were "perfect,” by virtue of service in ■ both the navy and army. 1 The "Hartford Phantom” retain- > ed his 12d-pound crown against • Phil Terranova of New York, an ' outstanding contender.
