Four Teams To Survive Prep Meets Today Indianapolis, March 13 —(UP)— Fiercely-contested court battles were on deck for today's semifinal contests in the 38th annual Indiana high school basketball tournament and there wasn’t a clear-cut favorite as darkhorses cropped up at each of the four centers. By tonight, 12 of the sixteen for “big four” honors will have alien by the wayside, their dreams for the state title shattered for another year. And the four finalists will lock horns in Butler's huge fieldhouse here again next week before the record books will be closed on the 1947-48 Hoosier prep school hardwood campaign. The sixteen finalists emerged victorious in last week’s regionals out of a field of 64 sectional champs, crowned two weeks ago. Thus, the original field of 770 teams was chopped to the “sweet sixteen." Close to 42,000 lucky fans will fight their way into the fieldhouses at Bloomington. Indianapolis, Muncie and Lafayette to be ready when the referees toss the ball into the air promptly at 1:15 p.m. Other thousands, unsuccessful in obtaining ducats, will huddle around their radios for the playby play. According to IHSAA officials, coverage via the air waves and by newsmen will be the best ever. At least two dozen radio stations will be on the air and more than 100 sports scribes will attend the sessions. The games at Lafayette and Muncie Were rated the closest. At Lafayette, the Jeff Broncos (23-3) and Hammond <2ff-7) will engage in what was expected to be a thriller in the second afternoon game. Both clubs have seasoned veterans and Hammond has an edge as far as height is concerned. They both have come a long way and will take to the court at full strength. In the other tilt, Peru’s Tigers (21-5) will face South Bend Central (20-6) and that game, too, may go either way, although the South Benders, on the strength of their tourney record, should emerge victorious. Chester Twp. (27-0). the onlyunbeaten club still in the race, will get a good workout wlN>n its Panthers tackle strong Portland (24-2) at Muncie, while MonroeviKe (24-3) will attempt to get into tonight’s finals at the expense of the hosting Muncie Central (19-7) quintet. At Indianapolis, Madison's Cubs (23-3), the United Press state title choice, was rated the nod over Anderson (14-11), and also over the winner of the Crawfordsville (18-8)-Lawrenceburg (24-1). game. Should Lawrenceburg and Madison meet in tonight’s final, it would be the third time the two clubs had faced each other this season. Lawrenceburg won the first game by a three-point margin, and the Cubs returned the compliment, also by three points, late in

Indiana State In Finals Os Tourney Kansas City. Mo., March 13 — (UP)— The Indiana State Teachers college basketball team, which according to all the form books should be back in Terre Haute by now, meets the University of Louisville tonight in the finals of the National Association of Intercollegiate basketball tournament. The Cinderella team owes its position largely to the efforts of Duane Klueh, a gangling youth who never quits. In the semi-final game with Hamline university of «fit. Paul last night Klueh saved the game in the last four seconds. With his team trailing, 60 to 58, Klueh stepped up 'to the free throw line and made ! good on a pair of free throw chances. The game ended before Hamline could get the ball down the floor again. Klueh opened the overtime period with a field goal, but Hamline .came back fast and went ahead by
