South Bend's Central Well Balanced Five Indianapolis, March 16 —(UP) , South Bend Central's classy Bears will attempt this Saturday to keep the coveted state title in the northwestern semi final district. Coach Bob Primmer’s outfit emerged victorious from the Lafayette area last week, from where Lafayette Jefferson dashed to the state crown last year. Up around South Bend the word is that this is probably the best Central team in years. And well it may be, because the Bears face high-scoring Madison in the first afternoon game at Butler Saturday. The Bears, who whipped Frank fort in a thriller at Purdue to gain a spot on the "big four,” have the height, scoring balance and drive that it takes to win the coveted crown in such fast company. They like to fast break, but as they showed against Frankfort have an accurate long range attack when a tight zone defense bottles them up Madison uses the modified "shifting zone." Outside of that tussle with Frankfort, South Bend had two close calls in the tourney. It faced tall Mishawaka in its sectional opener and barely managed to win, 42 to 41. Concord Twp. nearly succeeded in derailing the South Bend ers in the reglonals, but Primmer’s boys pulled that one out of the fire in the waning minutes, 46 to 40. The team, coholder with Mishar waka of the eastern division title of the northern conference, is built around Entee Shine, a six-foot-two negro center who has another year to go. Shine's brilliant rebounding and under-the-basket drives carried plenty of weight in the Bears’ she cess. Veteran forward Andy Toth, a six-footer, and junior guards Jack Morrical and Don Deckard are the other big guns on Central's quin tet. Toth, a southpaw, has a deft set

shot as well as a nifty one-hander. Deckard also arches in one-hand ers, and Morrical shoots them as they come, from any angle. There isn’t a player over six-! foot-two—forward Bruce Daube also measures to that height—but. Shine gets off the floor in true"jumpin' Johnny" Wilson fashion,] and that alone is a big asset. The team was deprived of additional height when Primmer “fired" veteran negro center Johnny Davis last December for breaking, training rules. Davis towered over] the rest of his mates at six-foot-| four. South Bend started the season comparatively "slow," losing to] Hammond, Muncie Central and! Mishawaka, three toughies, before! hitting the victory trail. After losing to Lafayette Jefferson in a holiday final. at Lafayette, only | Mishawaka succeeded in besting the Bears again. Not since 1913 have the Bears made it to the "state." That year they lost to little Wingate, 15 to 14. Since then the first three tourney weeks have meant their downfall. Last year Peru nipped Central in the Lafayette semi finals, 45 to 44. The South Bend roster: Hgt. Wgt Class Andy Toth, f GO 155 Sr. Bruce Daube, f . 6-2 160 Sr. W.

Reinstatement Rule Promised By Judge I ! New York, March 16 — (UP) — A ruling on the re-instai ement injunction asked by suspended St. Loui* Cardinals Max Lanier and j Fred Martin was promised today! , for next Wednesday by judge Edward A. Conger in federal court. ! Lanier and Martin, under five- ■ iyear ban since 1946 for jumping [to the Mexican league, asked Con-j ' ger for a temporary court order I ’ which would enable them to play, , this season. : Organized baseball showed up in , court to answer the request yester-| day and submitted some arguments I against it. Conger ordered lawyers ! on both sides to prepare final full i briefs and present them to him in court at 10 am. CST nAt Tuesday. ! He promised a ruling within 24! , hours after he gets the briefs. ! It was baseball's inning in court! yesterday and the pastime’s legal 1 battery, headed by attorney Mark, , Hughes, claimed that the injunction I request should be turned down tor four main reasons: 1. That baseball commissioner A. 1 B. Chandler, who is a defendant, is ' not under the jurisdiction of this federal court because he is a resident of Versailles, Ky. 2. That Chandler is an indispensable factor in the case since it was he who ordered the suspensions. 3. That the requested injunction would not maintain the status quo but would alter it, and so would not be proper. 4. That baseball disputes both facts and points of law made in tne ! brief filed on behalf of the players. A hearing on a similar injunc- ! tion asked by Danny Gardella, susI pended from the New York Giants for the same reason, was scheduled I to be held at the same time yesterday as the Lanier and Martin hearing.

Kunkel, director ot the conservation department, announced today the appointment of Blodgett (Bill) Brennan, Indianapolis, as head of the departments purchasing and inventory division. Brennan was a state employee in the public works department from 1933 to 1940 and in the conservation department from then until 1945.

Mikan, the basketball association of America's all-star team announced today offered conclusive proof of two factors in connection with) covering a court for cash. 1. If your re a midget of six feet or less, your chances of being a pro basketball star are pretty slim. 2. No section of the country has a monopoly on turning out Dead Eye Richards when it comes to hitting the hoop. The two teams, selected by 46 sportswriters and breadcasters in the league’s 12 cities, nail these) facts solidly to the backboard. The selections: , / First team: George Mixan, Minneapolis and DePaul of Chicago;, Jim Pollard. Minneapolis and Stanford; Joe Fulks, Philadelphia War-i riors and Murry State Teachers of [ Kentucky; Max Zaslofsky, Chi,-' cago Stags and St. John's of Brook-] lyn, and Bob Davies. Rochester] Royals and Seton Hall. Second team: Bob FeeriCk. Washington Capitols and Santa Clara; | Bones McKjnnpy, Washington and] North Carolina State: Ken Sail-] ors, Providence Steamrollers and Wyoming; Arnie Risen, Rochester and Ohio State, and John Logan, | St. Louis Bombers and Indiana. From those affiliations, pro tank will notice that Boston, New York, Baltimore, Fort Wayne and Ind-' ianapolis failed to place a man on either team. But from the point of sectional development, there are) three each from the west and mid- 1 west and two each from the south and’east. From a height angle, most of the] stars qualify as balcony Peeping) i Torn/ Mikan is 6.10; Risen 6.9; ■ McKinney 6.6; Pollard and Fulks each 6.5; Feeriek 6.3; Zaslofsky 6.2, and Davies and Logan each' 6.1.

The only small man who go aj nod was Sailors, an undersized lad of 5.11 who was a standout w>th a] losing ball dub because he is a playmaker and an exceptional ball handler. . „ 411 in all. there can be little complaint about the teams. Mikan is the big man of the league, explaining his unanimous selection. The former DePaul ace. with 1-586 points on 546 field goals and 49 free throws, has broken every BAA scoring mark with the exception of the single game high of 63 points held by Fulks. ' \ Pollard, who although "only 6.a manages to scrape his elbows continually on the basket rim. is a fine playmaker, rebound man and I scorer. > Fulks probably has the most varied assortment of shots the game I ever has seen. He set the league s all-time scoring mark before Mikan 'moved into the loop and blotted him out. Zalofsky. known as "tne j touch" because of his shooting ; "feel," is a polished form player. Davies, one of the best dribblers land ball handlers in the game, is ' exceptionally fast and thus a ) standout on drivedns. : An exponent of the coast one- ] hand shot, Feeriek two years led 1 the league in percentage from the PRIVATE BUYERS!

Risen rates as an outstanding exponent of the up-in while Logan is a playmaker who ranks as (me of the best shots in scanties. 4ny coach in the league, or almost any place they play basketball, would be glad to take either team - or any five out of the 10. The majority of tap-in tutors would settle for just one of them. In the late summer of 1948. a dollar bought only 20 to 30 percent as much butter, beef, pork, and corn as it did before the war. In Wyoming there are only 2, A settlements. 151 of which have a population of 100 or less. —
