Well-Balanced Draw Made In Nel Tourneys lndiunapoli*. Feb. 21. - (UP) The best balanced draw in many it state high school basketball tournament, as far as the favorites were concerned, was announced today for the 1946 47 event by fIISAA commissioner u Virgil Phillips He also predicted an alltime attendance record of 1.180.- <»(»<• fans for the 37th annual tourney. of the season-long leaders, only Evansville Central, a state final ist last time and winner of 19 out <>l 19 starts this time, appeared likely to have trouble early In I the sectional. Central's Golden Bears run up aguinst city rival Memorial at 9:15 p.tn. Thursday at Evansville, and. if they get past the firstround. probably will bump into

Evansville Reitz Frida/ night. imst month. Central had to come from behind to win two-)M>int, decisions over both Reitz and Memorial. The only top-flight teams with a sectional draw comparable to Centrai's were the two Muncie contenders —Central and Burris. If they win first round games. they'B tangle at 9:15 p.m. Friday. Sectional competition for the 791 entries starts at the large < enters Wednesday, and on Thursday at those with fewer than 14 teams entered. There will be 44 games at 22 sectional center* Wednesday night.; and eight in the afternoon. The afternoon games will be in the four-divisions of the two Calumet district sections at Gary and Ham mond. The two opening rounds there will be divide*! between Gary. Haminond. East Chicago and Valparaiso. The "balanced draw" in tho sectionals found most of the state title contenders in opposite brack- • ets from the teams they figured to have the most trouble with. And no season-long pacesetter appeared to have an edge when 1 the path of the favorites was : charted through the regionals on March 9, the semi-finals on the 15th. and the four-team finals at lndiana|M>lis March 22nd. In the sectionals, Columbus and Shelbyville at Shelbyville. Jasper uud Huntingburg at Jasper. Jes fersonvllle and New Albany at Jeffersonville. Hammond High and East Chicago l ashington at Ham mond. Gas City and Marion at Marion, and La Porte and Michigan City at Ixr Porte, to name a few. either were in opposite brack ••is or won't meet until the semifinal round. Indianapolis Shortridge (won 15lost 3) probably received the most favorable draw among the top-1 quintets facing sectional trouble The Blue Devils were in the lower i bracket at Indianapolis, while the 1 teams figured as able to beat them were in the upper bracket. Terrel Haute Garfield <2l-0) also had an easy draw at Terre Haute, but the' Eagles were expected to have little trouble anyway. Commissioner Phillips, assistant commissioner Robert Hinshaw and —■-
