North District Semi-Final Is Rated Tossup (Editor's note: Third of four stories on probable team alignments by semi-finid districts in the Indiana high school basketball tourney.) By KURT FREUDENTHAL INDIANAPOLIS, UP — You could put the names of a dozen or more teams into a hat and play your own “pick the winner.’’ That’s the outlook for the northern-most Indiana high school basketball tudrney district. This year, the upstate district is by far the strongest of the four. However, with crowded sectionals at Gary South Bend and Hammond. several top state tourney title threats will be eliminated by the time a semi-final winner is determined at Lafayette March 13. Three of the first 10 Tanked teams in the state will battle for survival in the northern section — Elkhart, Michigan City, and Hammond. Add to those powerhouses the names of East Chicago Washington, the West NIHSC titlist, defending state champ South Bend Central, Gary Froebel and Gary Roosevelt, and you have your own little "state tourney.” It’s strictly a toss-up who gets the meal ticket to the four-team g<>nd finale at the Butler Fieldhduse March 20, and don’t be surprised if a team not listed above makes jhe trip. Michigan City at 16-2 and Elkhart at 16-3 have the best records among the upstate elite. The former should monopolize its own sec-

Hammond’s Wildcats and East Chicago Washington are the cream of the Hammond sectional, with Washington’s Senators holding a 48-43 win over Bog King’s 'Cats. But they, too, can count on plenty of competition from the very start. East Chicagq, Washington got off to a slow start and is unbeaten in the West NIHSC, despite an overall 12-7 mark, and Hammond is 14-5. Froebel and Roosevelt enter Gary's sectional as co-favor-ites, both with good records, but anyone of 4-5 other teams could emerge victorious. South Bend's defending champions also have their h&nds full in the sectional, with city toes Adams and Washington top contenders. But if Central’s Bears don't’ freeze up and continue the red-hot pace they exhibited at Fort Wayne North Saturday, winning 72-62 on a sizzling shooting average, they'll be hard to beat. Elmer McCall still has four members of last year’s crew, including Jack Guiggle. a vastlyimproved center. — Lafayette and Logansport of the North Central conference have a better than even chance to win their first two tourneys at home, but anything could happen irr the semi-finals at Purdue. 21 Hebron, beaten only by dangerous Hammond Morton, tops the smaller-league entries in this rugged field.

I. U.-Michigan Slate Scrap To Highlight Card CHICAGO. UP — Supporters of Indiana's defending national and Big Ten champion basketball team had numerous reasons today why Saturday’s tangle with Michigan State won't be any repeat of last Saturday, when the Hoosiers were ppset by an underdog foe. For one thing, Coach Branch McCracken will have more opportunity to “get the club up for this one,” the Hoosier athletic department wrote. Further the Indiana club knows that two more wins, over Michigan and then lowa on Monday, would clinch at least a tie for the Big Ten crown; And the upset by Northwestern came because the Wildcats shot at .451 percent from the field compared to only z . 378 for the Hoosiers. Indiana's battle with the Spartans was the highlight of a full slate of conference games, with the scrap between second place lowa and fourth place Ulihois at lowa City rated second -in importance. - Other games on the program were Michigan at Wisconsin, Minnesota at Ohio and Purdue at Northwestern. Both the Indiana-Michigan State and lowa-Illinois games will be return battles and the first game winners were favored in each. Indiana, which beat Michigan State, 79-74, Feb. 6 is a 7-point choice for this Rattle, while lowa, 79-70 winner over Illinois Jan. 18, is a 5-point favorite at home. Indiana held a one-game lead over lowa and was two games ahead of Minnesota, 2% ahead of Illinois. Any combination of two wins tor Indiana and two defeats for lowa, or two Indiana wins and a single defeat for Minnesota or Illinois would give the Hoosiers a league title. Wisconsin, in fifth place in the circuit, is a 13-point favorite over Michigan, while Northwestern, in sixth place, is a 12-point choice i over tail-end Purdue. Minnesota is favored by 3 points over Ohio State, in seventh place. The Minnesota-Ohio State and Michigan-Wisconsin scraps will be the only games between the teams this season, while Northwestern will he aiming to avenge a 78-63 defeat suffered at Purdue Jan. 16. In two other major- miciweetgames, a doubleheader at the Chicago Stadium, Kentucky is a 15point favorite to beat DePaul while Manhattan is a 4-point choice over Loyola.

Suspend Judge And Referee After Bout LOS ANGELES, UP — The California athletic commission slapped suspensions og referee Mushy Callahan and judge Joe Stone Thursday night only minutes after their cards gave a split 10-round decision to golden boy Art Aragon over Michigan’s Chuck Davey. The welterweight bout angered a sellout crowd of 10,400 fans at Olympic Auditorium. I Callahan gave Aragon five rounds, Davey three and called two even, giving the California winner a two-point edge. Stone had Aragon by a point. The only official who seems to be on the right side of the athletic commission’s fence is judge Charley Randolph who gave the fight to southpaw Davey by six points. The United Press ' card gave the edge to the Michigan State college grad, 56-54. “This is the worst decision I have ever seen in my life,” said boxing board chairman Tony Entenza. “We can't change the decision. Neither can we withhold the purses. But we Can fire some referees and judges,” he said. Both fighters thought they won. But Aragon said: “I hate southpaw's. Every time I tagged Davey he was going away. “If there ever is a welterweight champion who fights southpaw. I’ll quit the ring.” Davey, who, indeed, fought the bout “going away,” prodded Aragon with right jabs. But his left was always there to parry the brash local fighter’s assault. “Sure, I'd like to fight him again —anywhere,” Davey said. “I thought I had it won, but that’s the way it goes. I picked off most of his punches. He’s a good hitter, but he can’t knock you out with a punch,” Davey said. Aragon weighed 146 pounds and Davey, 146%. There were no knockdowns.
