The winners dash for | the crown at 8:15 p. m. p Jeff’s Buckin’ Broncos, runners- ; up to Madison for ihe title a year I ago, were the only 1950 finalists Ito reach the “charmed .circle” | again. They made it the third | time in the last four years. IMadispn was knocked out by little Edinburg in the GreeiisbUrg reglonals, Marion was licked in i the semi-final afternoon round*by J Auburn. 57 to 41, and New Albany •watt upset in the \ Bloomington I; semi-final title game by Reitz, 65 I to 51, Reitz, beaten five times during , the Season, turned in the only upset of Saturday's sembfinals. The Panthers dusted off Glenn's undefeated Wabash Valley champions, 56 to 46, snapping their 30-game winning streak, before cooling off the southern conference champs. Reitz administered the coup-de-grace to New Albany with a blistering fourth-period rally which i netted 22 points, holding the tall Bulldogs to five, markers. The Pocket City boys were sparked by i center Jerry Whitsell and Merle Reed and more than avenged a 177 to 60 regular-season setback New Albany. I The terrific Tigers of Crispus] J Attacks crushed Covington. 71 to 31, anil Batesville. 62. to 42, to rej tain offensive' honors for the secstraight week. Coach Kay | Crowe’s boys have -■ scored 558 ! points in eight tourney games'for a per-game average of 69.7. Reitz had the next-best offensive mark with 65.2,. followed by V Muncie, with 60.3 an/d Lafayette with 57.5. v Lafayette won a brilliant overtime. duel' from top-ranking and previously unbeaten Gary Froebel, 50 to 49, and led Elkhart all the way at night, 55 to 50. The Lafayette-Frdebel game have beeti the ’’key” fracas of the ehtire tourney. It was a-toss-up from the beginning, and i|t was a ding-dong battle. A long< Iphot by Lafayette's Chuck Reynolds tied the, game at the regulation 32-minutes, 44-all, and Bob, Pierce’s one-handet with 18 seconds to go in the extra session dramatically ent|ed Froebel’s 26-' jvame winning stroak. || Thus, history repeated itself as be last perfect-record team was i jbuated. shattering this year’s mopes that an unbeaten quintet jWould go “all the way” for the first time. A. . , Ij Muncie's Bearcats,- who edged Lafayette in an overtime struggle Ruting the season, 59 to 58, outclassed both seini-final opponents I it was 60 to 44 over Kokomo, and • 15, to 39 over Auburn. Outcome of the title game against Auburn Jkas a surprise only in the 14- ‘ ioint margin since the Red Devils lilisplgyed such superiority over highly-touted Marion. . 1 Muncie and Attucks practically jharfed defensive honors. Muncie Jvhipped eight tobrney foes by an average margin of 24,3 points, to £4 for Attucks. Lafayette held, its flight, opponents to an average of 3-A 6 points, leading in that catelory. Individual semi-final scpring ohoro-as a year'ago—went to a layer now on the sidelines. New’ !n 4 '
