Muncie, Fort Wayne Winner Rate As Tops (Editor's note: Second of four stories on probable team alignments by semi-final districts in the Indiana high school basketball tourney.) By KURT FREUDENTHAL INDIANAPOLIS, UP — Only owe thing appeared to be fairly certain today in the Fort Wayne district of the Indiana high school basketball tourney — Richmond,'s Red Devils probably won’t repeat. Coach Art Beckner’s Wayne county, boys were the northeastern semi-final champs last year mostly by virtue of their doubleovertime regional triumph over defending state champion Muncie Central Unless they perk up in a hurry, it may be curtains for them early this time. They lost 11 of 18 games so far and should be no match for Muncie Central in this year's regional. Central's Bearcats, on the other hand, along with the Fort Wayne sectional winner should' be the strongest contenders from that area. 'Ranked sixth state-wide by the United Press coaches board, Muncie compiled a 144 mark and has good height and balance. City foe Burris may be the Bearcats' staunchest sectional rival. It’ll be dog-eat-dog in the Fort Waynd Bectional,wtth city rivals North, Central, and South the top first -. round contenders. North, rated third in the state and the U- P- title choice, holds two victories over South but split with Central’s Tigers. A victory over South Bend Adams Friday would give North's Redskins the undisputed East NIHSC championship and a fine 17-3 season record.

South is 15-4 now, and Central 12-7. ’ Eokomo and Mississinewa also merit plenty of attention. The former, 12-7 for the season, should nave a comparatively easy secional and regional before getting ...1/crack at the Fort Wayne title. Mississinewa’s Indians, defending Marion sectional champs, have seen defeated only once in two regular seasons and hope to reach the tourney with a 21-gaine winliflg streak. Should they gain the second round, top opposition' may come from Central Conference members Hartford City and Huntington. Muncie Central and Forf Wayne North, may actually be a year away from reaching their peak. ' At Muncie, soy McCreary is grooming several juniors and a couple of sophomores after earlyseason experiments 'with a tall, senior-dominated quintet backfired. North Side’s Jim Hinga also islooking ahead with confidence. He has only one senior on the varsity —guard Larry Koehl. All fils other starters are juniors. Ichool Principals Meet On Sectional Principals of the Adams county high schools will meet at the office of Hugh J. Andrews, Decatur high school principal and sectional tourney manager, at 10 o’clock Friday morning. Final plans will be made Friday for conduct of the sectional, which opens at the Decatur gym next Wednesday afternoon. ■ ■ If you have something to sen rooms for rent, try a Democrat Vqnt Add It brings results. cwxvm iW&I — TODAY — Continuous from 1:30 “FLIGHT NURSE” Joan Leslie, Forrest Tucker ALSO—-Shorts 14c-50c Inc.
