Research discloses that the 10 teams will lose 50 players by the diploma route, with the Monmouth Eagles, winners of the county tourney, the hardest hit, and the Jefferson Warriors the only team

untouched by graduation. Monmouth loses eight members of its sectional tourney squad, in-i eluding Arnold Getting, the coun-| ty’s leading scorer, and all other regulars. The sectional champions, the I Hartford Gorillas, lose six players, including both regular forwards and their star center.

Nef Champion This Evening Indianapolis, March 20 — (UP) — Indiana's hotly-contested 1947-48 high school basketball campaign will come to a close tonight with the crowning of a new champion. Some 15.000 hepped-up fans, most ■ of them pulling for underdog Anderfton or Muncie Central, are on deck as Evansville Central and Muncie I clash in the 1:15 four-team final | opener. Lafayette Jefferson and i Anderson battle it out in the second afternoon game to qualify for I the final pay-off, and the two winj tiers w’ill swap buckets at 8:15 p.m. The finals became an intersectional fight between the North Cen- ! tral conference and the touted ! southern Indiana athletic circuit, of which Evansville was the only survivor. But the Golden Bears, on the strength of their seasoned club, their coolnese and overall stamina, were installed as a slight favorite to capture their first state crown, i However, it was a good guess to I assume that even the favored quin- I tet wouldn't have much of a chance j to make a runaway of it. Muncie ■ Central, for example, is strong and j has developed into a tourney power , during the last three weeks of I Play. i So for that matter have Anderson’s Indians, 11-game losers during the regular campaign but one of the scrappiest bunch of boys ever to advance to the state finals. , However, if the dopesters can call them right just once, coach Walter Riggs’ Central Bears and : north central conference titlist Las- i ayette Jefferson should emerge ! victorious in the afternoon games, j In that case, the fight for the ‘ title might develop into a battle | between two fine pivotmen — Cen- I traits Lee Hamilton and Jeff’s dusky Ernie Hall, the sparkplug of the Lafayette Broncos. The victor will inherit the crown vacated by Shelbyville when coach j Frank Barnes' club went down to I Columbus in their sectional.

Jeff won the trophy but once — back in 1916; Muncie did it twice, the last time in 1921, and Anderson is the most recent winner, going I all the way two years ago. All four clubs have fought through bitter sectional, regional and semi-final battles to come here for the "state.” The pocket city boys had to get past city foes Reitz and Bosse before downing Princeton and Jasper; Jeff evened a . score with little Rossville before I trouncing Hammond and Peru; Anderson upended Madison and Law- . renceburg, and Muncie swept over II and around Richmond, Monroeville and Portland. The “big four” were pruned from I a field of 779 in three weekends of \ play. They represent some of the | most exprienced tourney schools in the long history of the meet. HEAVY WIND (Cont.
