March 22. <UP* Indiana's attendanee-bustiffg 37th annual high school basketball tournament <ome* to a climax today with wine 11.915 fan* nittlns in at th*- four-team finale here in Butler fieldhouse. Ter e Haute Garfield, the second undefeated quintet in hist ory to rea-h the final four, tipped the lid at I 15 pm. with darkhorse Marion. Eash Chicago Washington, coleader with Garfield in the final I'nited Pres* statewide rankings of the season, tangled with Shelbyville** Golden Bears in the 2:36 p.m affair. The two winners will meet at D 15 p.m. tonight with the most coveted spoiling title in Hoosieiland hanging in balance. If the form sheets are correc t and this has be a tourney with few notable upsets, Garfield and Washington will be the nighttime opponents and the Senator* from the far north will cany off the title, continuing a 37-year-old jinx j that has kept an unbeaten quintet' from ever winning the state champ* | ioiiship Sectional, regional and semifinals attendance records were smashed this time and the IHAA says 11.915 will have tickets for today's games.

Thousands of fans throughout Hoosierland will Ice glued Io their radios for play-by-play broadcasts from 24 radio station*. Thousands of others will read thee tor les turned out by the 283 sport* writers covering the- event The odds, numerically and on the form sheets, were that a school which never has won the title will come thtough. Coach Woody Weir's .Marion Giants were the only exchamps still around. Tliejr won in 1926 and are bat k in the finals for the first time since then Garfield reached the final game* In 1922 and Shelbyville ha* been I among the last four twice, but this will Ice Washington a first appearance. Coach John Baratto’s East Chic agoans will be slight favorites to grab the crown because of their greater reserve strength, balance and. a six foot-three inch pivotman named Kay Kagelis. Itagelis was *< heduh-d for a pivot ‘ duel with Shelbyville's Bill Garrett. I a six foot two inch negro wb<> Is! as clever around the background. as Anderson's Johnny Wilson of last season.
