Feb. 15 — (UP) — Three of last year’s semi-final contenders in the Indianapolis district may renew their acquaintance again this year in the Indiana high school basketball tournament, but only Anderson’s Indians installed today as an almost certain "sweet sixteen” member. , The Indians, the pick of United Press to succeed Lafayette Jefferson as the “king of Hoosier hoopla,” shouldn't be pressed to win their sectional before coming here for the regional. Even in the second < round their opposition wasn't ex pected to be too ’great. It's in the semi-finals when the showdown begins, especially it Madison and Lawrenceburg ad vance to battle for a spot in the ‘‘chanmed circle.” Lawrenceburg’s one-beaten Tigers must win the Aurora sectional to be in the running. Aurora snapped Lawrenceburg's 12-gatne winning streak after previously bowing at Lawrenceburg during the season. Madison’s Cubs should be ’unopposed in their sectional before going to the Greensburg regional where the host's South Central con ference champs will attempt to avenge a recent 4S-to-37 defeat. The Cubs still have prolific point maker Dee Monroe and a fine rebound artist and consistent scorer in husky, six-foot-three Spence Schnaitter. They lost to Anderson in last year's semi-finals by one point. Lawrenceburg is one of the most balanced clubs in the state. Three >f last year’s stars are gone through graduation, leaving sparkplug Jer ry Gordon as the standout perform er. One unbeaten team. 19-game win ner Fairland, will be in the Shelby ville sectional to challenge the host club's right to enter the Greens burg regional.

Purdue, I. U. Are Winners In Big Nine Tills Chicago. Feb. 15—(UP) — The Big Nine cage standings were unchanged today after two games between the lower ranking teams, but conference prestige was at a peak as fifth place Ohio State registered a 68 to 60 win over top-ranked St. Louis in a non-conferenee game. Fourth place Purdue dropped Wisconsin into seventh with a 53 to 48 win at Lafayette in one league clash while sixth place Indiana strengthened its position with a 56 to 41 decision over the last place Northwestern Wildcats. Ohio’s victory was not surprising, for although the Buckeyes were underdogs to tjje St. Louis team which had lost previously only to Oklahoma A. & M. in an overtime, the Bucks were expected to put on a speed game which might win. They did that with forwards Bob Donham and Dick Schnittker hitting the net regularly to score 24 and 22 points respectively and give the BiTlikins a trouncing. Easy Ed Macauley, the St. Louis star cen ter, hit 19 and two guards, Lou Lehman and Bob Schmidt, scored 17 each, but they couldn’t keep their club abreast of the Big Nine entry. Ohio State .flashed terrific accuracy to win, hitting on 26 of their 58 attempts at the basket for a near .500 average. Most of the Buckeye scores came on drive-ins. though, as the speed boys dashed through the St. Louis defense. Indiana won as it pleased from Northwestern. The Hoosiers held a 34 to 20 halftime edge and coasted as Phil Buck scored a dozen points. His teammate Bill Garrett and Northwestern's Bill Sticklen each netted 10. Purdue had a rough match with Wisconsin and the score was tied 14 times, 11 of the deadlocks coming in the second half. With two minutes to go Andy Butchko, who scored 19 points, tied the score for the last time and then his mate Bill Banks knocked in a layup to put Purdue in front to stay. Don Rehfeldt of Wisconsin tallied 16 points to pull into a tie with Jim Mclntyre of Minnesota in the league scoring race, each with 137 points. Howard Williams of Purdue tallied 17 to tie Whitey Skoog of Minnesota for fourth with 134 points. Bob Raidiger of Ohio State remained in first place with 138.
