Nine Teams Are : Favorites To Win Regional* Indianapolis.

Evansville Central. Kokomo. Huntington. Jas per laigansport. Crawfordsville t un.l Muncie Burris favorites to reach the "sweet sixteen” round again this season. None appear in the same regional. The "Big Nine" with the nifty t tournament performance, this decade have won 33 of the 112 region al tourneys played during the '4"'s. Beilford. laifayett**. Jasper.

I Bedford Stonecutters, winners of 20 out of 24 this season, have been in the semi-finals the last six years. They missed in 1940. Kokomo. Crawfordsville and Ixtgansport have reached th** final 16 in four of the seven tourneys preceding this one. Central. Bur-. ria. Jasper. Lafayette and Hunting-, ton have been among the "ultraelite" three times during thei l»4o’s. Besides the "big nine," four other teams still In the running for the 1946-47 championship have, gained the semi finals twice this decade They are Culver tof iron- 1 man fame), Madison. Richmond and South Bend Central. Richmond's Red Devils, beaten but twice in their last 15 outings; Flora's ZO-game-wlnning "small school” Badgers, and Portland's little Panthers will l*e called upon to defend regional titles Saturday against “big nine " members The in regional champions of. hat year who still are around either "belong." or aren't ached-' tiled against this decade's con-1 sistent tourney winners. Law renceburg. Franklin. Linton, Cui ver and East Chicago Washington , fall into the latter category. Os the "big nine," the teams with the most regional championships in the 1940's — Bedford. I Crawfordsville, Logansport and Kokomo- seemed headed for th** most trouble next Saturday. Jas l*er at Vincennes, Huntington at Huntington. Lafayette at Ixifayette and Central at Evansville seem ! blessed with mediocre regional rivals. Munsie Burris, the ninth member, opens with Richmond at Muncie.

Many Legislatures Study Labor Curbs i Most Bills Would Ban Closed Shop By United Press New curbs on labor are being' considered by most of the 40 state legislatures now In session, a survey showed today. Most of the bills would outlaw the closed shop. Others would prohibit mass picketing, secondary, boycotts and jurisdictional strikes i Still others would make unions fair targets for law suits in cases i of contract violation. A few j would require unions to Incorporate and register their leaders and funds with state authorities. Five states already have enacted anti-closed shop laws. They are Arkansas, Georgia, the Dakotas' and Tennessee. In many others' enactment of similar legislation seemed assured. The most drastic bills have been submitted in the legislatures of Missouri. Oregon. Wisconsin, Delaware and Maryland. The Delaware house passed and sent to the senate a bill to prohibit strikes against the state, counties or cities. In Maryland, bills were introduced to outlaw strikes against public utilities.
