Power Balance Well Divided In Prep Teams Indianapolis. Jan. 6 - (UP) — The balance of power among Indiana's major high school basketball teams appeared today to be more evenly divided than at anv other time since the season got uni der way. The far nor h. central Indiana and the power-laden southern district all were well reperesented in the fourth weekly United Press poll. Anderson’s Indian's topped the rankings for the*third consecutive week. And s ill another north ral conference member — Lafayette Jefferson — held down the runnerup spot as it did last week. The next two places, as well as the sixth and seventh spots belonged to the sourthern elite, with Jeffersonville's high flying Red Devils leading the way. Huntingburg, Law renceburg and Madison completed the downstate triumvirate. Hammond’s Wildcats broke UP| the north central-southern monopoly. The Wildcats held down fifth place, but two other NCC clubs— Muncie Central and Frankfort — were in eighth and 10th place, re- ' spectively. ' The newcomer to the “big ten" was Gary Mann, surprise winner o: last week's steel city tourney. The Horsemen, riding the crest of a seven game winning streak, oppose Hammond Tech in a northern Indian headliner tomorrow night. Tech was runnerup to Hammond in that city’s holiday tourney a week ago. Gary Mann replaced Huntington in the elite. The Vikings were up set by Decatur Tuesday to end their 11-game winning streak. Jeffersonville, which opposes Evansville Bosse tomorrow, made the biggest step forward since last week. Coach Ed Denton’s fast-mov-ing Red Devils have won 10 games in a row. They ended Huntingburg’s winning ways after the hap py hun’ers went unchecked in nine outings. In other important tilts tomor row, Anderson hosts upset-minded Richmond. Floyd Baker's club blast ed Muncie Central in the finale of Richmond New Year’s day tourney: Lafayette Jeff goes to Frankfort (the Hot Dogs also took it on the cihin last Saturday, courtesy Elwood); Hammond hosts Whiting tomorrow and travels to I.aPorte Saturdav, and Huntingsburg is at New Albany tomorrow. The fourth weekly U. P. rankings: 1. Anderson (won 7 lost 1). 2. Lafayette Jefferson (8-3). 3. Jeffersonville (10-1). 4. Huntingburg (10-1). 5. Hammond (8-1). 6. Lawrenceburg (11-0). 7. Madison (10-1). 8. Muncie Central (8-3). 9. Gary Mann (7-2). 10. Frankfort (7-2). Well-regarded: Hun'ington (Illi; New Albany (7-2); Brazil (9-1); Bloomington (7-3); Auburn (11-0): Richmond (5-4); South Bend Central (5-4); Terre Haute State (8-1); Kendallville (12-1). May Modify Free Substitution Rule San Francisco. Jan. 6—(UP)— A new brand of football is on tap for grid customers in 1949 if the National Collegiate Athletic As sociation executive committee ac cents proposals from the ruler committee. First, the unponular "free sub stitution" rule, which drew boor and catcalls from the fans last reason, will be modified: and sec ond the “reverse center" may be legalized. These were the highlights of the annual rules committee renort tc •he NCAA, as announced by chair man Lou Little of Columbia Uni versify. * The committee 'commanded ‘hat the free substitution rule be changed to allow "platoon renlace ments" on’v during a time out or when the ball changes hands: and abolished the single substitutions •hat have been allowed when the clock still is going. That latter item was instituted to stop lagging of the 12th man on the field: and possibly was aimed at curbing quarterbacking from the bench. The “reverse center" proposal was made to the rules committee and still must win approval. If adopted, it would free a T-for mation quarterback from standing right up against the line and he could be available for passing, pass reception or blocking or running The NCAA convention moved sluggishly through yesterday's workings, with the executive committee still unable to raise a quorum. Only two members were present—the rest being either snowbound tn the Rocky mountains - and mid west, or attending other j meetings Some of the faculty represents jtives were slated to arrive today
