Proposes 128 Sectionals Be Held In Stale Indianapolis, March 18.—(UP)--Editors of 11 weekly newspapers urged todaj- that team alignments in the Indiana high school basketball tourney be changed by haying 128 sectional sites instead of 64i> 'XThe newsmen said in a resolution this would “equalize distribution of sectional centers for the mutual benefit of large and small high schools." •_ ~ \ “{laving 128 sectionals would permit the Indiana highschool athletic association more freedom in adjusting inequalities, permitting a better chance to arrive at the real champton,” the resolution Said. j L. V. Phuups, commissioner of the IHSAA. said his office is too busy with the i 1952 tourney to study the resoluton. He said the plan “will have tqj.be placed before the board of control for Study, and we’ll have a whole year to do that after this tourney ends.” The editors said seating capacity is a problem in nearly every sectional and it would be easier to find 128 gyms capable of handling four to eight teams thari it is to find 64 gyms targe enough to seat fans of eight to 16 teams. With 128 it would be possible to have 32 regio’nals and an eight-team final. An eightteam final would double the

Lafayette In Finals Third Year In Row [I i U Indianapolis, Mar. 18 (UP* - There’s nothing magic about Margin, Crawley’s success in the annual scramble for the Indiana high School basketball championship, His “secret weapon," in a nutshell, is hard work. Thus, it’s no surprise to the casual observer that Lafayette Jeff is in the final tout for the third straight year. The Broncos meet North Central Conference rival IndianapollsTevh. ivhom they beat during the season. In the first game Saturday. L 1 Crawley,i who developed two. state champs ,at Washington during the war and piloted Lafayette to the crown in 1948, lost his entirte starting five from last year which dropped only three of 20 regular-seison contests. Yet he molded d f brand-new outfit, lost half a dozen season games and roughed uu eight tourney opponents to crash through to the charmed circle for the fourth time in the last five years. Midway through the season he figured his current bunch as just ‘an average” ball club. But he always had hopes for Improvement. ’ | “After tthe second half ot the season got underway I thought v»d have a chance to he back in the finals,” he said., 1 “Sometimes we’ve lociked like just an average team, bulti now I think we have tijore pois 4 than last year and are stronger ion defense.” His offense, however, is some-

what behind last year’s, Crawley added. Crawley usually depends on - seven players of whom hlgh-scor-'t ing Frits Franz and Harold Harris, the forwards, and center Bill Lange term the nucleus. Juniors Joe Heath and Bob Kaser are his starting guards. t Jim Cahoon, who spplls the slx-t foot-four Lange at center and aleo plays forward, and guard Don Boveri are the top‘subs. Cahoon was h-§t to the squad for nearly three weeks. He underwent ah append deiptoiny just before New Year**? Harris, who suffered a ph lied leg muscle, was side-lined from Christmas until the sectionals got underway. But the entire squad is healthy now, Although Franz is the club’s top scorer, assistant cout h Sammy. i.oult pointed out the four other., starters also have come through Jn tine style. "It’s a good group as a team, with different boys coming through at different times," he said. Tall Elkhart in last Saturday’s f gave hte Broncos the most trouble in the tourney so far? Crawley said. He used a. “mixed offense” to edge the Blue- Blaaers, 39 to 37. and then drtibbed Logansport, 54 to 37. * .i? • p J £ Crawley knows he’lF have hi» hands fullVagainst Tech.

Hearn, a winner in 1951 wlfo could be the Giants’ best pitcher this year, pitched the first five innings, walked two and struck out four. < Kennedy, who won only one game last season, picked up from there and allowed three walks while striking but thfee the remainder of the way, The victory was the Giants’ third in eight exhibition games.

Yankees • St. Petersburg, Fla., March IS—(UP)—Rookie Andy Carey was thp rage of the New York Yankees’ camp today and one big reason why manager Casey Stengel believes the world champions may not be hurt by the loss of Billy Martin during the first few weeks of the American league season.

His / batting average tor nine exhlbitimjt games is a stratospheric .519 —by far the highest of any Yankee.
