Regional At Lafayette In Top Spotlight Indianapolis, March 1 (UP) Backers of the 711 Hoosier prep ba'kvtbali t; atns already eliminated from the 1946 tournament probably will pay the closest allentlion to Lafayette'* regional tomorrow. The four-team affair there rat * as the No. 1 attention grabber for most fans because it easily could produce the current tourney's pr mler "people's choice." And Hoosier* without a "home dub" in the running like nothing better than to hop on the* bandwagon of a small school team with a great record. The latfayetto affair, which will draw a capacity 4.500 to Jeff rwon * gym. features two of the three undefeated quintets still In the running for the 36th annual • title Wlutestown and llossvill . Rossville's Hornet*, who number Kokomo and Franfort ami ng their "big name" victims, have won 25 in a row. While-down's Panthers have taken 24 straight. A third small school power— Boswell, r presenting a Benton county town of 877 also competes at laifayette. Boswell ha* lost only once-and then by a two-point margin. Rossville represents a Clinton county town of 621 population, while Whitestown's Pan th rs were drafted from 850 Boom* county res- 1 identic. The* favorite at Lafayette, however, will be non** of the thr e. Jeffs host Broncos, the I'tilted Press state title pick, figure to stop first Whitestown and then Ilcecxvill -Roswell winner. Some 71.000 Hoosiers will jam 16 regional centers tomorrow to watch the* second stage of the four-week-long state meet. Th picture elsewhere looked something like this: At Anderson—And rson's Incon- i sistent Indians drew a slight nod over undefeated Eden and the Indianapolis Tech Danville winner, j At Evansville - Evansville O ntral's Golden Boars appeared to have easy going against Cannelton but Boonville, riding a 19-gatne winning streak, might be danger-1 otts at night At Fort Wayn —-Fort Wayne Central's fast-breaking Tigers stood head and-shoulders over ‘ Kendallville.

At Hammond -Gary Kdison'a •'giant killers’’ tangle with East Chicago Washington's classy Senators in the first game and that apparently *lll decld- the title. Rensselaer and l.uPorte are dangerous. however. At Huntington—Huntington. Inst of the 1945 state finalists, figures to advance at th expense of three "small schools" — Berne, Portland and Petroleum. At Jeffersonville- New Albany's sizzling Red Devils grab most nods against French Lick. Bedford and Seymour. At Logansport-An "Upn t" may be in the making here, *ith little Flora In a position to repeat an early-seaaon, 36-32 win over hap-le-s Loganaport-If they get by Peru ami Montlo Ho. respectively. Al Marion—Kokomo's Kat* probably will notch their 11th and 12th straight, but Wabash'* Cent ral conference champ* look tough. Gas City and Tipton complete the field. At Martinsville — Linton's Wabash champions outclass Honey Creek, Sp mer and Bloomington The miners have won 16 in a row. At Muncie—A prospective "dog eat-dog" fight between Richmond and New CastV If they advance as expected in the afternoon against Muncie Central and Farmland. At Rushville—A four-way tossup between so-so rivals: Lawrenceburg, Milroy. Milan and Brownsvilk . At Shelbyville—Perhaps the best balanced regional, matching strong Columbus and Madison club*, repected Franklin and “dark horso” Sand Creek. At South Bend — Onn -boater Elkhart against South Bend Central in the afternoon should decide this one, although Culveranticipating an easy time with Winamac—could upset the dope at night. At Vino nnes—Another "afternoon decided" meet, between Ja« per and Vincennes. Washington and Sullivan also play here.
