Southern Prep Teams Lead In Week Standing Indianapolis, Feb. 10 — (UP) Many powerful southern Indiana prep school hardwood clubs may bite the dust in the sectionals at the end of the month, but they were strong enough today to place more teams in the “Big Ten” than any other district. No less than four of their teams — three of them in the upper bracket — held down berths in the ninth weekly statewide United Press rankings. The southeastern conference was represented twice, the north central loop and the northern Indiana conference once each, and the Fort Wayne area had two outfits among the elite. Evansville Central, which took over the rankings eight weeks ago, was still the team to beat. The Golden Bears were upset by city rival Reitz a week ago for their first loss of the campaign. But th’ next-seeded clubs were not powerful enough to dispute the Bears’ first place. Walter Rigga boys came back with an overwhelming win over Huntingburg (the score was 67-36) to give ample proof that they are still a classy crew. But. their biggest test of the campaign will be this Friday when the travel to Bedford in a southern conference headliner. If the Bears succeed in downing the dangerous Stonecutters, in third place this week, they should have the SIAC title all but wrapped up If they lose. New Albany and Princeton, who have both lost only one league game, cannot be counted out of the race. Lafayette Jefferson, which has control of the NOC race — at least momentarily — is still runner-up to the pocket city aggregation. The Broncos will go to Crawfordsville this Friday in a non-conference tilt. Bedford moved up one notch when LaPorte fell at Vincennes last Saturday. The Slicers, unable to click the last two games, dropped to eighth place and were surpassed by New Albany, Lawrenceburg,

Week's Schedule • Os Adams County Basketball Teams Tuesday Yellow Jackets at Hartford City. Berne at Dunkirk. Lancaster at Hartford. Jefferson vs Wren at Berne Auditorium. Wednesday Commodores at Geneva. Friday Berne at Yellow Jackets. Commodores at Pleasant Mills. Monroe vs Kirkland at Berne. Madison and Fort Wayne South in that order. East Chicago Washington, in fifth place last time, was out of the first ten as the result of two setbacks last week. New Albanys Bulldogs have the longest winning streak with the exception of Lawrenceburg, having been victorious in their last eight games. But they may be in trouble this week. They’ll be at home to Jasper tomorrow and travel to Evansville Reitz on Friday. Lawrenceburg, with a record of 16 straight, should get past Paoli this week, but the Tigers face Madison in one of the top games the following week. If they lose, it means that none of the state’s major teams will enter the state tourney undefeated. Although Fort Wayne Central supplanted South Side as city champs, the Archers were given the nod over their arch rivals and were i installed in seventh place, just a- i head of LaPorte and Fort Wayne I Central. Evansville Reitz, which i looms as the biggest threat to city i rival Central in the Ohio River city 1 sectional, replaced Richmond in 1 10th place this week. That left the ninth weekly Unit- ] ed Press rankings: ] 1. Evansville Central (won 15 j lost 1). £ 2. Lafayette Jefferson (16-2). 3. Bedford (16-2). j 4. New Albany (14-3). y 5.

The result gave lowa six conference wins against two losses, the same as Wisconsin which walloped Michigan state 51 to 39 at Madison.

A crowd of 16,048 largest in the history of the lowa field house, watched the Hawkeyes gain the win that tied them with the defending champion Badgers. The Illini, however, didn’t yield to the superior shooting of the lowans until the last 45 seconds of the game. The loss dropped Illinois to fifth place behind Purdue which took a last-minute win from the Gophers. Illinois now has four wins against the same number of losses in conference play. Purdue trailed during most of the game but came back strong to chalk its fourth victory against three losses. Guard Andy Butchko and forward Dick Axness were mainly instrumental in handing Minnesota its fourth conference loss against three wins. * Minnesota’s towering Jim McIntyre was held to 13 points by . Butchko. Butchko also tallied 13 . points while Axness led the game , scoring with 21. In a tight game at Evanston, , Northwestern won out on a basket by Bob Maddock in the last halfminute of play.

The result gave both Ohio State and Northwestern two conference wins against six losses. Wisconsin, minus hifh-acoring Bobby Cook, came back in the I second halff to whip Michigan State. The Badgers trailed 21-18 at halftime.
