Jackets Play In Tournament At Huntington Decatur's Yellow Jackets, backed bj several hundred fans, left late this morning for Huntington, where they .will battle for regional tourney honors and the right to compete in the Muncie semifinal meet one week from today. The Jackets were to tangle with the tough Lancaster Central Bobcats, Bluffton sectional winners, in the regional opener at 1 o'clock this afternoon. In the second afternoon game, the Jefferson Red Devils, Hartford City sectional titlists, were to clash with Huntington Catholic's Ramblers, who upset the Huntington Vikings to win the Huntington sectional. The Yellow Jackets were all reported in excellent condition for today’s test with the exception of Harold Bohnke, sophomore regular, who has been battling “old man flu" this week. Whether Bohnke would be able to play at all today was questionable at this writing. Decatur’s foe in this afternoon's opener piled up an impressive record during the season, losing only three games, adding the Wells county tourney title to their Bluffton sectional crown. The Bobcats are coached by Bill Bryan, former Kirkland mentor. The second game this afternoon pitted a pair of darkhorses, ona of which will emerge as the opponent for the winner of the Decatur-Lan-caster at 8:15 o’clock tonight. Jefferson was the surprise winner at Hartford City, first knocking off the Portland Panthers, who copped last year's regional, and beating the Roll Red Raiders in the final game, after Roll had pulled a stunning upset by upending the highly favored Hartford City Airdales. " Jefferson’s opponents, the Huntington Catholic Ramblers, had been given little chance in their own sectional, with the Huntington Vikings the heavy favorites, but the Ramblers bumped off the Vikes by a two-point margin in the sectional final. The Yellow Jackets will have plenty of vocal support today, as more than 1.200 regional tickets were sold here. For those unable to attend the tourney, a twist of the radio dial will take care of the problem. Four Fort Wayne stations will air the games, direct from the Huntington gym. Winner of tonight's regional final will advance to the Muncie semifinal next Saturday, March 12. The Huntington winner will compete against the Muncie regional victor in the second game, after the Fort Wayne and Marion winners tangle in the opener at 1 p.m. The afternoon winners will meet at 8:15 p.m.. with the victor ad vancing to the final four-team tourney to name the Indiana state champion at the Butler field house the following Saturday.

Dyer Sees Braves And Dodgers Tough St. Petersburg, Fla., March 5— (VP)—Eddie Dyer, a little more jittery this spring than usual, today singled out the Braves and Dodgers as the clubs his St. Louis Cardinals will have to beat out for the 1949 National league pennant. “They're solid," he said, “and will take a lot of beating, but if we can avoid all the injuries and other bad luck we had last year, we are the club that can do it." Boston, he predicted, would be the toughest of the lot "if Pete Reiser comes back." “Otherwise,” he added, "the Dodgers figure to be the toughest. Brooklyn is a fine young ball club and has the strongest bench in baseball.” By that, he meant, they have both quantity and quality. “Good lord,” he exclaimed, “you look over at the Dodger bench about the time you are trying to decide whether to take out a pitcher and what do you see? “Three or four righthand hitters. three or four left handed ones and all of them as good as the fellows they have out on the field.] That’s a mighty tough combination to lick. “The Braves don't have as strong a bench, but if Reiser can come back to half of what he was, well, tell me who's going to beat Boston?” He came close to answering the question and it added up to his own Cardinals. “If we have Whitey Kurowski and Al Schoendienst in there all year, we could do it. But we need both of them, just like we need Marty Marion. Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter out there every day.” So far. he believes that both Kurowski and his red headed keystone man have recovered from the injuries which plagued them last year. Kurowski, who had some, chips removed from his right—or throwing elbow, has been throwing the ball free and easily and so has Schoendienst, who had a bad shoulder. “We have to have them in there." he explained, "Whitey for his power and Red to make that double play. That is what we missed last year and it cost us the pennant.”

also chairman of the Democratic national committee. Invitations were sent to 25 senators, including Sens. Claude Pepper, D., Fla., and Estes Kefauver, D., Tenn. Although southerners, neither Pepper nor Kefauver has taken any part in the fight against the administration's attempt to change the rules so that the senate could cut off debate on any issue by a simple two-thirds “cloture" vote. Under present rules, the senate can limit debates only on bills — not on motions to take them up. Southerners have taken advaniage of this loophole in past years to filibuster against any attempt to take up civil rights legislation. For the past week, they have waged a bitter attack against the senate’s even considering the proposed rules change. Lucas has served notice that he ’ intends to file a "cloture" petition - next week to bring the present diss cussion to an early halt. But to i .be successful, his maneuver must • receive favorable ruling from vicepresident Alhen W. Barkley, and • any Barkley ruling would be subs ject to a vote in Lie ent z s senate.

16 Regional Champs To Be Named Tonight Indianapolis, Mar. 5 — (UP) — At least six new regional champions will be crowned tonight when the second round of the 39th annual Indiana high school basketball tournament ends. So much—if nothing else—was certain as some 80,000 fans crammed the 16 regional centers to witness the 64 sectional champions batHe for berths in the “sweet sixteen.” Half a dozen of last year's regional titlests were eliminated in last week's sectionals, and there was a good chance that some other clubs will fail to defend their crowns successfully today. Os last year’s regional champs. Anderson, Chester Twp.. Crawfordsville, Monroeville, New Albany and Portland lost out last week. Lafayette Jefferson's state champs and Evansville Central and Muncie Central, other state finalists, are among the perennial tourney powers who will attempt to stay in the running. Coach Marion Crawley's Lafayette Broncos drew the roughest afternoon assignment, facing Frankfort’s zone-defense-conscious Hot Dogs in the 2:15 p. m. game. But every other strong outfit, from Madison’s high-scoring Cubs to Hammond's Wildcats, was.expected to meet strong opposition. As usual, most fans were pulling for the underdogs. Number one on the “peop’e’s choice" roster was little Fairland of Shelby county, the only unbeaten team still in the tourney. Three other perfect record outfits lost out in the sectionals — Monroeville at Fort Wayne, Sugar Creek at Frankfort, and Winslow at Jasper. Fairland had a Itoo p. m. date with Greensburg’s South Central conference champs, and if successful, meets the winner of the Madison-Helmsburg tiff at night. Some 15,000 fans will again jam every available space in the Butler fieldhouse where Indianapolis Tech hosts such strangers as Summitville (instead of Anderson), Amo and Fortville. Anderson figured in the first major upset of this year's “Hoosier madness" last Friday when beaten by Lapel. For the fans who didn't get tourney tickets, nearly 40 radio stations will broadcast a play-by-play of the games.

Although favoring filibuster curbs. Republicans generally have indicated that they would side with the southerners in this crucial vote. It was conceded that the Barkley ruling will be rejected. If and when it comes before the senate. Senate Republican leader Kenneth S. Wherry of Nebraska attributed the GOP position to the backing given the anti-filibuster drive by the CIO and by President Truman. “The support of the president and — The CIO — has solidified swynort for the southerners more than anything else,” he said. “It has defeated the (rules change) resolution for there appears to be no way to get it up.” FILIBUSTER IN (Cant. From Page One) broke it up. At 2:40 a. m.. Combs jumped to his feet while the filibustering Democrats were changing speakers and demanded that "the previous question be considered." Heller rapped for order and admitted the floor had been lost. A vote was taken immediately and the bill passed 60 to 20. The bill, which passed the senate weeks ago. now goes to Cover-

nor Schrick’er. It mandates city and county governments to oper-1 ate on central time but leaves the matter open to business establishments and individuals. Democrats had hoped to prolong debate until past midnight since no bills can be considered on third reading after yesterday. But this was stymied and the filibuster prolonged when supporters of the bill succeeded in turning back the clock to 9 p. m„ thus “lengthening" the legislative day. The filibuster actually began shortly after 9:30 p. m.' when house speaker Robert Heller handed down senate bill No. 1-, introduced originally by Sens. Bruce Lane. R.. Bainbridge farmer, and Dale E. Beck. Young American dairyman. It was acknowledged generally that “slow” time supporters, led by Rep. Robert S, Webb, R.. Arcadia farmer, had the votes to pass the bill. But Lake and Marion county Democrats had well-laid plans for a showdown fight. They kept up I the attack for more than five'
