the NCC. plus Auburn’s Red DeVila is exactly the same which squared off in the third round at Kokomo a year ago. They reverse partners this time, however, with Muncie meeting redhot Auburn in the first game, and Marion tangling With Kokomo in the second tilt. Kokomo ranked second oaly to New Albany in the United Press “Big Ten.**’ Auburn was fifth, and Muncie seventh. ; | Muncie (21-5) did not meet Auburn during the season, but licked Marion twice, then lost to Kokomo’s Wildcats on the Mhncie toutney floor, 57 to 48. Last year in the tourney, Muncie knocked off Kokomo, 60 to 44, then routed Auburn, 53 to 39, to move into the four-team finals, and eventually gained its third rtate title. Muncie's Bearcats, : under the first-year reign of capable Jay McCreary, served notice they won't give up their crown easily by averaging 64.3 points in six tourney games, second only to New Albany. At the same time, they topped the “sweet sixteen” by beating their ioes more than 25 pionts per game. Despite graduation losses -of Tom Harrold and Charley Mock, Muncie again is a strong title contender with a fast-stepping five composed of Carl Miller and Dan Thornburg at forward, Jim Sullivan at center, and guards Jerry Lounsbury and Charley Hodson. Muncie is in the final sixteen for the 16th time and is shooting for its ninth final-tour berth. Auburn (23-3 enhanced its tourney reputation hy sweeping through the Fort Wayne regional for the fourth thbe in a row. The Red Devils, for the sixth time in the “sweet sixteen” are built around six-foot-five Cal Grosscup. six-foot-four Brad Webb, and such other capable hgnds as Bob Dela-

grangd Aid Tom ReyWldd. Their only final-four appearance was in 1049 when they lost to Jasper's eventual state champs. Kokomo (24-2) lost an overtime game at Marion and a doubleovertime decision at Richmond for its only season setbacks. Coach Joe Platt’s boye. who probably have the strongest bench of the 16 survivors, also were picked by a fixable group of “experts” to succeed Muncie as Hoosier hardwood kings. Clyde Cox, Corky Williamson and Junior Phipps are Kokomo’s top guns. Although 18 times in the final sixteen, they haven’t reached the final stage since 1944, losing the title game to Evansville Bosse. Marion (15-10) could be classed .as the underdog in this classy Jield, but i with such a talented crew as Jim Barley, Chet Jones end Bob Casey still around, Woody Weir’s outfit can’t be underestimated. This is their 10th appearance in the “sweet sixteen.” They reached the finals two years ago jfor the fourth time when they lost jin the tuoghest semi-final center : Madison then copped the title.
