Madison Cubs Top Finalists In Statistics Indianapolis, March 15—(UP)— The Indianapolis district has furnished the state champ in two out of the last three years, a reputation which Madison will attempt to extend Saturday. Hut the Cubs have a king-size assignment They’ll clash with South Bend Central's powerful Bears in the first afternoon game of the finals, pitting conference champ against the co king of the eastern wing of the NIHSC. Coach Ray Eddy's Cubs have been leading tourney powers in offensive statistics from the beginning of the four-week championship drive. They moved into the “charmed circle” with a per-game average of 61.4 points in seven starts. At the same time they trounced their tourney foes by an average of nearly 27 points. In the Indianapolis semi-finals, where they faltered last year, the high-flying Cubs continued their successful warfare from their own sectional and the Greensburg regional. They whipped Summitville, 53 to 3S. and then ousted Lawrenceburg's Tigers in the finale, 47 to 4«. Responsible for Madison's success is Dee Monroe, the greatest shotmaker in the school’s history, Ed Orrill. his running mate at forward, and lanky six foot-three Spence Schnaitter at center. Schnaitter and six-foot-two Orrill are the tallest players. Eddy has five juniors on his varsity and one sophomore, indicating that he is building for the future. Monroe, who tallied 42 points in Madison's sectional final rout of New Washington (88 to 40), sets a new school scoring record every time he baskets a point. To date, he has tossed in 500 points, surpassing the record he set last year by almost 100. In last Saturday's semi final payoff battle against Lawrenceburg, Monroe was a "marked" man. He got 24 points in the afternoon against Summitville, and Lawrenceburg coach Bud Bateman took special care to handcuff the prolific Monroe. Hut while the latter was carefully guarded, he succeeded in feeding the ball to Orrill who notched up 19 points. Schnaitter's rebounding was invaluable, and the timely sniping of guard Ted Server ihe of the famed basketball family) carried the Cubs through the semi finals. Eddy, who also had a powerhouse last year when his proteges lost to Anderson in the semi finals, is an advocate of the shifting zone, a set-up his boys have used with I much success in recent years. During the regular season. Madi son lost but three games—the first encounter with Lawrenceburg, tn

All Favorites Are Ousted In College Meet New York. March 15—(UP)— There didn't seem much left in the way of thrills and upsets that could happen in the National Invitation Basketball Tournament today after the most cockeyed day of unheavals in the memory of the oldest

; Madison Square Garden patron. ; Four unseeded and unhearalded quintets made their way. into the tournament semi-finals yesterday with victories over the four topranking teams in a fantastic day of surprises that found: Inspired Loyola of Chicago, which was invited to the meet on a "rain check," battling from behind six times to oust Kentucky’s top-seeded Wildcats. 67 to sb. Bowling Green of Ohio, which had given up hopes of ever making the N. I. T. and disbanded a week ago, overcoming a 13-point first lyclf deficit to smite second-seeded St. Louis University, the defending champion, 80 to 74. San Francisco, another unseeded underdog in the betting, snatching a 64 to 63 victory out of the fire against third-ranked Utah on a basket by Frank Kuzara with onlyfive seconds left on the clock. And a valiant Bradley University team that was out-reached under the baskets by an average of at least three inches per man. storming back from a 10-point deficit in the last half to upend fourth-seeded Western Kentucky. 95 to 86, in a thriller that broke the tournament record for points scored in one game. The full day of surprises placed San Francisco in Thursday night's semifinals against Bowling Green and Loyola against Bradley. , The triumph of Loyola, which re- ! ceived a bid to the meet only after i the selection committee had decided to expand the field from eight ! to 12 teams, was rated the greatest ! upset in the 12-year history of the ' tournament. Big Jack kerns. w!>» scored 26. points despite the fact that he was removed for 12 minutes because of four personal fouls, was the hero of the Rambler's triumph. And it was excessive fouling by the powerful Wildcats that spelled their , | doom,—that, and an off-day. Kentucky, a 12 point favorite in the betting, committed 29 infrac tlons and lost all Americans Alex Groza. Wallace (Wah Wah) Jones and forward Walt Hirsch in the second half. The Wildcats' roughness enabled Loyola to cash in on 25 out of 34 free throws for its margin of victory, since the teams ' ! each hit on 21 field goals. • i Tacoma, Wash., has the cheap- ■ ’ est electrical power of any city of 1 1 nmnarable size in the United States. | ' I Y e — -i i ■ ■ : SPECIAL 8 FOR WEDNESDAY irl CHOICE OF: | • SALMON LOAF • FISH • SHRIMP • OYSTERS • BAKED PORK CHOPS sOc ,1 With Vegetable ■ Potatoes Bread • Butter - Coffee i For your enjoyment —a new ; 1949 Seeburg Record Player— I Choice of 100 selections.
