Slate Champs Hand Rossville Initial Defeat Indianapolis, Nov. 27 — (UP) — Lafayette Jefferson and Bedford, two of Indiana's traditional high school basketball powers, were back on the victory track today and ready to turn on the heat after winning important games last night. Jeff's state champs, who were upset by Lebanon in their opener Wednesday, 43 to 40, roared back in the second half last night to trounce dangerous Rossville, 57 to! 48. It was the Hornets’ first loss in i five starts. Bedford’s Stonecutters, who lost to Peru in their opener last week and were nicked by Washington earlier this week, found their fastbreaking game and hit their shot' well to bury Seymour, r,6 to 31. Elsewhere, the schoolboy hard- ! wood front was relatively quiet and I upsets were rare. The majority of, the quintets played Wednesday due ' to the Thanksgiving holiday and the ; usually hectic Friday roundball ac-; tivity slowed down to a crawl. However, there were several oth-[ el' important games. Anderson's I Indians, one of the four state tour : ney finalists last March and considered a threat in the titular race [ this time, opened their northcent-1 ral conference play with a con-1 vincing 62 to 50 victory over New [ Castle. Bob Rousey spaked the win

tiers with 25 points. Frankfort's Hot Dogs made it I three in a row by dumping Mich-1 igan City, 50 to 33. and Hammond edged South Bend Central. 41 to 36. It was the opener for both upstate clubs. Huntington's Vikings, who with | an average height of better than j six-feet-two are one of the state’s i tallest clubs, hit 25 shots from the field against 17 for Wabash to trim the Apaches, 55 to 50, in a central Indiana loop game. Gene Wood pac-I ed the Vikes with 19 markers. In other, curtain raisers, Terre ; Haute Gerstmeyer eked out a 41 to j 38 victory over Evansville Bosse. I with forward Bob Leonard getting 20 points for Gerstmeyer: South Bend Washington won from New Carlisle, 37 to 34. and Fort Wayne South dropped Bluffton. 41 to 22. In an overtime battle, Greens-1 burg beat Rushville. 38 to 34. in a South Central conference game, j The win was the third straight for the Pirates in the conference. Bttd i Mount pushed through three buckets late in the game to maintain j Greensbhrg’s clean sla'e. Elwood smothered Plymouth. 59-' 42; Kokomo edged Tipton. 46-41; Vincennes overpowered Washington, 61-35; New Albany avenged sis-ter-city Jeffersonville’s recent upset loss to the Silver Creek Dragons, 55-41: Logansport subdued, Flora. 58-46. and Mt. Vernon bested Princeton. 46-43. in other contests Minneapolis Lakers Whip College Stars Chicago, Nov. 27—(PU)— The "dream team" of coach Dutch Lonberg seemed more like a nightmare last night as the Minneapolis Lakers turned back the college allstars. 60-42, in the ninth annual basketball classic at the Chicago Stadium. The Lakers jumped into an early lead and were never threatened. Big George Mikan played less than half the game but scored 18 points to lead the .point parade. At half-time the Lakers led 3313. In the second half the Lasers used every man on the squad, but the all-stars made little progress even against second-stringers. —— Bowls 705 Series At G. E. Alleys Everett "Tuck" Faulkner, city i bowling association secretary, rolled the first 700 series of the season when he knocked the pins for a 705 in a fraternal league match at the G. E. alleys.

No Cadillac announcement has ever been more significant than the one which appears on this page. For, this year, Cadillac presents its creative masterpiece-a wholly new V-type eight-cylinder engine-which is, beyond all doubt, the highest development yet attained in automotive power plants. » * This great power plant has been twelve years in the building-for basic development work started in 1936. It has many unusual qualities which set It apart from all other creations of its kind. It is far more alert, powerful and responsive to the throttle—yet it affords an increase in gasoline economy of approximately twenty per cent. And the manner of its performance • actually challenges the imagination. It is liquid smooth; it is quick and eager beyond all experience; yet the power application is so effortless that

the driver is scarcely aware of the engine's existence. The car seems almost to move by automatic propulsion. * Even experienced Cadillac owners mu” put aside all previous conceptions of performance when they drive the V 1949 Cadillac. It is a revelation—from silken start to silken stop. * There ■ are, of course, many other advancements in addition to the history-making B engine. There is new beauty in the front ensemble; there is a newly-designed, more attractive instrument panel, with all driving controls at your finger tips; and throughout the chassis and body will be found those characteristic refinements which result from Cadillac's unceasing search for perfection- * But the big Cadillac stogy, for 1949, is performance.
