Graduation To Take Big Toll Os Net Teams Adams county's 10 high school haskotba'l teams will lose practically 40 percent of the 120 players certified for this year's sec•tional tournament by graduation this spring, a survey of the team rosters reveals. Forty-six of the tourney squads are seniors. This graduation loss, particularly heavy in three schools, indicates net coaches will face a tough problem in building their squads for the 1949-50 basketball campaign. Hardest hit in the number lost will be Bob Worthman s Decatur Yellow Jackets, sectional champions. who lose eight of their tourney squad by the diploma route. However, on the other side of the balance sheet, three of the remaining squad members are sophomores this year and all were either regulars or near regulars at the close of the season. The Hartford Gorillas and Geneva Cardinals each lose seven team members by graduation. Coach Ham Neuenschwander will see four of his regular gorillas, Jerry Dubach, Dave Noll. Kenny Noll and Clauds Monee, gone from the scene; while Marve Mullin loses three starters from the Cardinals. John Stanley.*the county's leading scorer the past season. Deane MacWhinney anF Harold Smith. Don Arnold's county champs at Kirkland have five seniors on the squad, three of them regulars, Dwight Troxel. Darrel Arnold and Homer Arnold, Jr. The Monrob Bearkatz have four seniors, with Myron Knauff's principal loss the graduation of Milt Habegger, one of the county's top stars through four years. On the bright side of the picture. Dave Terveer loses only two seniors at the Decatur Commodores, only one of them, Dave Gillig, defensive star, a regular. Myron Lehman's Monmouth Eagles have only two seniors, but they were the team's regular guards, Ray Graft and Fred Kukelhan. Claren Neuenschwander drops three Jefferson Warriors by the diploma route. Joyce Smitley, Howard Miller and Bob Wendel; Ned Shuck's Berne Bears have four seniors, as do John Bauman's Pleasant Mills Spartans. Os the 120 players certified for sectional play, there were 46 seniors, 45 juniors, 22 sophomores and seven freshmen.

16 Teams To Battle Today In Semi-Finals Indianapolis, March 12—(UP)— I Sixteen high school basketball | teams, already crowned twice as j champions in preliminary rounds, hit the hardwood again today to i cut the field to four in the semii finals of the 39th Indiana oaskett bill tournament. | The 16 survivors from a starting ; field of 769 were evenly matched. : Typieally-Hoosier basketball thrillers were anticipated by fans who will fill four fieldhouses and listen to dozens of broadcasts. Tip-off time was 1 pm. at Bloomington, Lafayette, Muncie, and Indianapolis. The four cen ters will accommodate only 43,000 : of the rabid Hoosier hardwood fans who would like to watch proceedings. Little schools and big schools were represented. The fans, as usual, were pulling for one of the “underdogs" to gain the finals and become the universal “people’s ! choice" for the 1949 stale championship. Brookston. Jefferson and Summiti ville were new names in the adj vaneed tournament stage.. But on hand were the familiar tourneytime schools like Evansville CenI tral, only one of last year's big I four still running, and Frankfort. ! Jasper. Bedford, Madison and New I Castle. The experts said the headline games would be at Lafayette and Bloomington. They picked the Frankfort-Hammond game and the Bloomington-Evansville Central tilt as the ones most likely to display basketball real Hoosier style. Both games were toss-ups. But everybody will be watching /when little Jefferson takes the floor at Muncie against New Castle's Trojans, surprise winners of the Muncie regional. Brookston plays tough South Bend Central In the 2:15 p.m. game at Lafayette while underdog Summitville mixes with high-scoring Madison at the Butler fieldhouse here. Actually all the games should be top-notchers. The Jasper-Bedford tin should produce fireworks at Bloomington. At Muncie, Auburn's twice-beaten Red Devils face Kokomo in the opener. Attica and Lawrenceburg vie in the Indianapolis opener. Kokomo and Auburn lift the lid at Muncie. TJhe winners do battle at 8:15 for the title and the right to go to the state finals next Saturday. Tickets which .were valuable items this morning will be slightly less precious this afternoon when eight teams are on the sideI lines. Included In the 43,600 lucky fans will be Indiana high school athletic association commissioner L. V. Phillips who will watch the Lafayette meet along with H. V. Porter.

The 16 nervous coaches gave their players final instructions this morning and tried to inject a calm note into the excitement that gripped the fans. Most of the clubs reported their athletes were in good condition. There were exceptions, however. Forward Jim Harper, a dependable Hammond floor man, still was handicapped by a knee injury suffered in last week's tourney. Two t'lrookston stars, forward Chuck Weston and guard Charles Weiderhapt, were “a little shaky" from untimely attacks of flu earlier this week. But they were expected to see action. The name “Nebraska" is derived from an Otoe India word for the Platte River, meaning “shallow water," “flat water" or "broad water."
