Kokomo has won seven of Its nine tarts since the new year ami the only defeats to Anderson ami I New Castle w re by identical. 38 36. Fiores The Kats, who have another < rack at Anderson this Friday In tlie North < cntr.il con- . t••fence title game, now boast a flv.-g.nni- winning streak. Kinjg frankly admits he doesn't know whether he has a "solid ' state title contender. "We've got the height, the -p ed. the hitting ability and we're pretty fair defensively,” he said, "hut we're not .is st, ady as we could be.” "We're coming along late again Just as the team did that lost to Evansville Bosse In the state finals two y ars ago." he added "I think we ll develop a lot yet." King rates this year's team n< stronger than his quintet of two years ago and. "Although we ,’uiven't a Tom Schwartz, we re belt- r manto-man than last year (when Kokomo won 22 out of 26 games)." Key scorer for the Kata Is lanky .Maurice Conwell, a southpaw hotshot. Before the Richmond rume. King figur d he'd leave Conwell I at home because of a cold. Conwell went along at the last minute, however, and tossed in 25 points. Crack rebounder John Platt badly injured a finger a we k ago and he's still out Wendell Man-pin, a sit foot four Inch 185-pounder. is taking all-state Schwartz' place at center. King credits him with much of the Kats rebound and def naive strength "and ho throws some In. too." Jack Kendall. clutch-shiMillng guard was the only regular to return from Last season. Two tall Imys, lion Goodlove and Don GevIrtz. round out the top six. All , were on the *44-45 tourney squad With Kokomo's abrupt ending of a nine game Richmond streak as the top feat, here are the other headline performances last week: 2 Marion's 29-25 upset of Lafaytte Jefferson four days after the Broncos were rated No | in Ind lana. 3. East Chicago Washington's overtime defeat of second place Hammond High for the title In the wratern wing of th northern league, 4 Evansville Central's 36 33 overtime licking of Jasper at Jasper, keeping the Golden Bears atop th southern conference. 5.

Purdue's win over the touted Golden Gopher* came in the final home game of the season for the much-beaten Boilermakers and gave promise that Purdue at last has reached the strength predicted for It before the season opened. Burly Paul Hoffman, with 19 points, and stringbean center Bob Miller, with Ift. joined Capt. Anderson in accounting for -Il but nine of Purdue's 65 points. Leo "Ciywtal" Klier and Vince "Bullets" Boryla did their customary high-scoring Job for Notre Dame, collecting 33 point* between them.
