Typical of last week’s dogged competition' were games involving two Fort Wayne quintets, Muncje and Richmond. Friday night, Fort Wayne North edged city rival central in an overtime fracks, and Richmond ended Muncie’s 18-game winning streak. Twenty-four hours later, Central knocked Richmond from the undefeated group, and Muncie made a determined homecourt comeback- to whip Hammond by 19 points, 52 to 34. With few exceptions, conference warfare will be shelved until after New Year’s, and there still was no clear-cut favorites' in any of the nine major circuits. This week, the unbeaten status of Peru and East Chicago Washington will be tested severely. The four other clubs with unblemished records should march on unmolested.. j t } ! i ■ - (4rOjr; 42 to 39 cbnqueror of previously unbeaten Auburn last Saturday, should have no trouble getting past Hartford City ,(2-3) in a central Indiana conference game tomorrow, but then smacks into hot-shooting Marion (4-2) Friday. East Chicago Washington takes its four-game winning streak to Jasper (6-1) in probably the most important north-south fracas. Indianapolis Crispus Attucks and New Albany, also four-game winners, and five-game winner Linton have easier assignments. Attucks meets two city foes, often licked Broad Ripple and Howe, winner of the capital, city tourney list Saturday. New Albany, which has yet to play away from home, meets Vincennes (3-2) in a southern conference game Friday. The Bulldogs made it 40 in a row at home Saturday over Anderson, 72 to 52. Linton hosts two smaller foes, Shelburn and Bicknell, and Memorial has called it quits until next year. Saturday League Results Listed I J.: ' . I I ; ■ The Junior Commodores, with R. Meyers scoring 14 points, defeated the Pistons, 25-16, and Meyers’ eight points led the Indians to a 27-18 win over Notre Dame in Saturday morning league games at the Commodores gym.
