NewCaslle And Auburn Favored In Muncie Meet Indianapolis, March 11—(UP)— Os the 16 teams battling for a berth on the ‘‘big four'' of the .'l9th annual Indiana high school basketball tourney. .Jefferson has licked the greatest handicap. The Red Devils of Randolph county, the third "people's choice" team in the semifinals, were the "giant killers" in the Hartford City sectional and the Huntington regional. They did it the hard way. Rack home, they don't even have a school gym. Coaah Bob Reid took his boys to nearby Saratoga tpr their home games during the past season. Despite all the traveling and playing on foreign courts they compiled a respectable record, wining 17 games while losing seven before tourney time. There are uiiiy so students in the school, nearly half of whom turn- j ed out for basketball last fall. In ■ the tourney, the Red Devils show-1 ed they could hit and run with the best of them. They beat their opposition by an average of more than 10 points per game. A tall trio, Jim Harris, Merrill] Whitenack and Dick Sipe, is the backbone of the club that meets New Castle in the second afternoon game at Muncie Saturday. That's a large-size assignment, but some observers feel that Jefferson "can do it." New Castle may be a year early. Coach Chuck Stuckey starts an alljunior outfit, led by sharp-shooters Jackie Wright and Jerry Ellis. The Trojans broke even in 20 regular season games, including competition in the tough north central conference, but edged favorite Muncie Central in last week's reglonals, SO to 28. New Castle is the only former state champ in the Muncie semifinals. The Trojans went all the way in 1932. Should New Castle trim Jefferson, Auburn was given at least a 5050 chance to stop the Trojans. Auburn's northeastern conference champs, beaten only twice in 26 games, looked rugged in the Fort Wayne regionals. With big Jim Schooley leading the way,] Auburn looked as good as—if not better than—coach Keith Showwaiter’s 1945 outfit which went to the semi-finals before being ousted by Muncie Central. Schooley, standing six-foot-four, controlled the backboards and tossed in 18 points as his mates trumped Fort Wayne Central. 51 to 47,’ thereby moving into the “sweet sixteen." Kokomo, Auburn's afternoon opponent Saturday, doesn't have a playmaker of Schooley's caliber,' although the Kats are a well-bal-anced team. But Bud Overton's boys can't be taken lightly, either. They blasted Marion. 57 to 36. and then edged favored Wabash. 55 to 53. for their meal ticket to Muncie this week. Trade in a Good Tcvn — Decatur

Attorney Frederic A. Johnson said he Will ask a federal judge on { Monday to sign a "mandatory injunction” instructing organized j baseball to show cause within one week why Gardella’s suspension should not be lifted. Johnson said that the injunction i would be similar to the "showcause" order obtained last Tuesday ] by suspended St. Louis Cardinal pitchers Max Lanier and Fred Mar- | tin, who, like Gardella. have been 1 set down for five years for “jumping” to the Mexican league in 1946. Baseball must answer Lanier and Martin in court next Tuesday. Johnson said a favorable ruling ; on the mandatory injunction would have the effect of restoring Gardella. to active status in baseball and also give him a- chance to play with independent teams. Gardella, a war-time outfielder with the New ' York Giants, now is a $36-per-week orderly in the Mt. Vernon, N. Y., hospital. Johnson said the effect of the injunction would be only tempo-

Johnson said that Gardella’s case was different from the $2,500,000 damage suit brought by Lanier and Martin, in that Gardella "was not a contract-jumper" but merely violated baseball's reserve clause which binds a player to the same team from one season to the next.
