College Basketball Belter This Season Indianapolis, Jan. 17 tl'Pi--Notes from the Hoosier *ports beat: There (teems to be little qu<*s- ; tlon that college liaaketlutll Is I considerably better this season than I.it Doubters should cont;nt Couth latn-ti Kill* at Valparaiso. The delmnalr assembler of the "World's Tallent*’ basketball team retained his first five men and several reserves from a '44 45 quintet that figured among the fitst seven or eight teams In the country. He added several topnotch th>- ‘irst seven or eight teams in Freshman prospects, like Walt C.ai'ec ki of Im Porte and Milo Hausen of Gibson <*ll'' 111. It seems reasonable to presume that a tall, fast aggregation, with suc h players as John Jiinish and Boh Dille, would be better than last year. The Val|M> record going info I the Indiana State game, however, ■as six victories and a* many defeats. The Crusaders were hampered, of course, by a scries of 'Jinx* happenings early in the o-a».,n. But, stiffer competition had a lot to do wl*> most of those defeats Down in Southern Indiana. 1 where Evansville Bosse* has been beguiling partisans with dreams of a third straight prep c age tourney title, Wally Criswell of the New Albany Tribune came out I In print naming u "northerner"— undefeated East Chicago Washington—to win the stale championship. Brave man. that Criswell. I Speaking of the south, the Southern Indiana Athletic Coni ference has produced another of those "you figure 'em out. we i can't" league standing*. Bosse beat Evansville Central and Icoth Bosse- and Jasper sport perfect league records. But Central is leading the SIAC with 42 rating points, against 37 for Jasper. 31 for Bosse and 22 for Vincennes, which has lost four league games First three* teams in the state's I other major conferences: North Central — Anderson, lacfayette Jefferson, New Castle; South Central — Columbus. Franklin, Shelbyville: Central — Wabash, Plymouth. Muncie Burris (Fort Wayne South not ellgiblle for title); Northeastern — Aubfirn, Columbia City, Decatur; Northern (eastern division 1— Elkhart. LaPorte, South Bend Riley and I South Bend Central; Northern (western division) —East Chicago Washington. Hammond High. Gary Emerson; southeastern — Scottsburg, Madison, luiwrenceburg: West Central —Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, Terre Haute Garfield, Clinton. , Eob Johnson of Cary, standout ropitomore football center for Purdue's 1941 eleven, is out of the navy and plans to return to school next semester—Evansville sports writers are having their troubles. Seems someone sold fans tickets for all the press box c .*at3 at the Bosse Jeffersonville game. The scribes finally wound up with a table In the bleachers. Columbus High cage coach Noel Genth had two reasons to be- happy last Friday. No. I was seven pound Eugene Genth's arrival. The other was a victory over Franklin . . Jasper's Wildcats tnay have trouble come seci tlonal tourney time-. Little Holland, hi the Jasper sectional teri rltory, scored 95 points the other night . .
