Jeffersonville Living Up To Early Promise Indiatiapoli*. March 5 <1 P> • Jeffersonville high school's "dream''' baacketball team was a to coach Edwin Lyskowinski moat of thin season. Hut today his Bed Devil* »P peared to be in a position to pass that nightmare on to the otto r 63 survivor* in Indiana's 37th annual prep cage tourney. Bedford's 20 game winning Stonecutters, a per sistent Jeff jin*, were the Immedi ate target They meet in the lied ford regional next Saturday. Before this season opened. Jes fersonville rated more rave press notices' than a budding movie starlet. This was supposed to be an even greater outfit than the 19.34-35 Bed Devil team that went to the st ite final* before losing a game. Lyskowinski. with a won-lost coat hlng record over eight sea sons that is second to few. had seven lettermen back from a strong 1945-46 team And he had Byron "Ix.ng John" Johnson, a six footnine inch transfer student from Kentucky. First, southern Indiana sport* writers suggested that Jeff drop some prep rival*, and schedule college boy*. After the season was a couple weeks old. writers and fans were trying to recall when theyd ever seen a* inept looking a team as Jeffersonville. By the time January rolled around. Jeff had lost six of its first 10 games, with a humiliating 52-25 rout by Bedford capping the c limax in the Indianapolis holiday tourney. A few days earlier. Evan* vßie Central had routed Jeff. 52-17. The Bed Devils seemingly could n't do anything right. They didn't seem to know how to drive, or cut for the basket Even the simplest fundamentals seemed to have- escaped them. But Lyskowinski grinned and bore it. He'd been seriously ill before the season started and wasn't feeling himself until January. Mak Ing It all the- worse. It was said was the fact that before he got back. Johnson was allowed to play to soon after an appendectomy. Jeffersonville began clicking Jan. 2 with a 50-39 defeat of la>ui* villes St Xavier.

A United Press survey of the western conference showed that at mo.-t two schools. Illinois and Indiana, were prepared to field teams in the lightweight class next fall. A school by school picture show-' ed: Illinois: definitely interested. Indiana: "We will issue a call for 150 pound football in the spring." Iowa: no decision whether to field a team. Michigan: plans uncertain. Minnesota no team in the neat future. Ohio State: no 150 pound team in 1947. but probably in 1918. Wisconsin : no plans for a team Northwestern: plans vague at present. Purdue -probably no team in 1947. All universities complained about equipment and space problems During the war production of. athletic gear was reduced and even In 1947. some of the schools do not believe they will have suf-I tleient uniforms to outfit another intercollegiate grid squad.
