DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

■Several Small Nel Teams Are Well Regarded Indianapolis. Feb. 13— (UP) Os the 779 Hoosier high school basketball teams which have entered the 38th annual tournament sponsored by the state high school athletic association, only about 125 are in the "better-known-category.” The others are generally smaller teams who don’t rate much attention during the regular season. But comes sectional time the county and township champs along with the other basketball-conscious schools join in the annual Hoosier classic which" will end this year on March 20 with the finale being played before some 15,000 hardwood enthusiasts at the Butler Fieldhouse here. There are at least a handfull of smaller outfits entered every year which could easily hold pace with their bigger competitors. In fact, they frequently defeat them in perennial "grudge contests.” Thus, there is little doubt that every sectional has a county “darkhorse.” Richmond, for example, has to worry about Hagerstown

and Fountain City; Frankford has nggtfsd Rossville; Warsaw has Milford; East Chicago has Merrillville ... to name just a few county “big shots.” It’s been exactly 30 years since a non-conference outfit has taken the state title, and this may not be their year either. But the fact remains that some of the “little tough guys" are big enough to make it plenty rugged for the rest of the field. s z It was a Glenn ’Curtis-coached Lebanon team that swept aside the opposition in 1918 and edged Anderson in the final. 24-20. Since then, smaller teams have fought their way into the “sw’eet sixteen," or even further, but Flora's semifinal stint two years ago was the last time a smaller or non-confer-ence club has been a serious contender for the state crown. Shelburn and Rossville were the "people’s choices” last time. The Panthers emerged victorious in the Vincennes regional and Rossville’s great Phil Buck paced the Hornets over Jefferson in the

Lafayette regional. That’s as far as both clubs got last year, but they are back this time just as strong or even stronger. Shelburn looked good in the Wabash Valley tourney and Rossville has been beaten only once to date. The Hornets, sparked by Marty and Melvin Horn, should run away with the Frankfort sectional in two weeks and may again be “trouble’’ in the Lafayette regional. Portland s Panthers of Jay county are another outfit worth watching. Harold Wallace’s county champs have actually won 16 of 17 | games—they lost one tilt at Ft. I Recovery. 0., by three points—but they had to forfeit another game because of the use of an in- ■ eligible player. Otherwise, the i Panthers won that particular game by no less than 35 points.

with six-foot-four Brewster in the pivot—are the mainstay <4 the Portand offense. Their point average per game is better than 62. Another highly-regarded smaller quintet is Milford. The Trojans, unbeaten in 19 games this season, are the pride of Kosciusko county. They aren’t as big as some of the other teams, but they have practicaly the same starting five ' that gave Fort Wayne Central a | rough time in the Summit City's regional two years ago. , In Lew and Bill Speicher, coach Bob Bushong has two fine for- ’ wards who together with center I Don Wolterman comprise most of ; Milford’s power. ’ The Trojans shouldn’t encounter too mu'ch opposition in the Warsaw I sectional and may again be diffiI cult to beat in the Fort Wayne , regional. Merrillville’s Pirates of Lake ’ county are the Calument area's best in the "pint-size” class with 18 straight wins. Other strong county clubs that may be heard from shortly are Spurgeon in Pike county and Grant's Gas City, both undefeated. 0 Si. Joe Is Defeated By Van Wert, 21-14 The St. Joe eighth graders of this city dropped a 21-14 decision to the Van Wert. 0., team Thursday afternoon at Van Wert. The Ohio quintet led at the half, 10-7.

— | Sid Luckman Signs i New Bears' Contract Chicago, Feb. 13 — (UP) — Owner - coach George Halas announced today that Sid Luckman, quarterback, has signed a new contract adding another season to his commitment with the Chicago Bears. Luckman signed a contract covering 1947 and 1948 last year. The new contract merely adds the 1949 reason to the agreement. o Plan Construction At Indianapolis Hospital Indianapolis, Feb. 13 — (UP) — Officials of the Indianapolis General hospital eaid today that the first step in a planned $5,000,000 expansion program would be con■truction of a $1,000,000. psychlaric unit. Construction of the building this ■ ear was contemplated because of ’he serious need of improved care nf mental patients, said Dr. Charles W. Meyers, hospital isuperintendent. A six story building will be constructed, Meyers said, with the top floor devoted to a 20-bed "es■ape proof” ward. A total of 120 mental patients could be housed in the new unit, while the hospital now has facilities for only 53 patients.
