The southern.-most roule, just like the northern', is" mighty tricky, however, and lots can happen from the sectionals to the semi-finals. Jeffersonville, for instance, has to dispose of tough Silver Creek, beaten only by Louisville Flaget this season. In its sectional. If J Jeff’s Red Devils succeed in the first round, New Albany’s Bulldogs could make it rough in the regional. i With one game to go this season, Jeff has compiled' a fine 15-4 ; record, mainly on the shooting of , Pete Obremskey and-Tittle Bobby i Potter, who between them caged 52 points against Southport Tuesday. And Obremskey, Bill Johnson’s : big wheel, seems to ha-ve hit his 1 stride after he missed at least two < games because of an injured foot. Gerstmeyer’s Wabash Valley i champions, 23-2 for the season,

lost to South Bend Central in the title game last March by just a single point, 42-41, and coach Howard Sharpe has four starters back, including the classy Arley Andrews. But the Black Cats, who have strong hopes to become the first ‘‘Valley’ 1 champion to'also win‘the ‘‘State’’ the same Season, must fight their way through . a tough sectional before getting a crack at Martinsville’s regional.. City foe State, beaten four times games, loom as Gerstmeyer’s bigand Garfield, which lost only three gest threats, - - , Gerstmeyer defeated l>oth .Jeffersonville and Evansville Central in last year's Bloomington semifinalk, and the latter also hopes to be strong enough to get another chance at the Valley titlists. Central's fine center. Jerry Clayton, should be ready for full tour- j ney duty after sitting out the,

last few weeks with a fractured finger. Hpwever, even withhini fully recovered, the Bears can't look too far ahead. They hayfe to worry about city foes Reitz, the Southern conference champ, and Bosse in the sectional, and probably little Fort Branch in the second round. Winslow, Jasper and Washington are the top teams in the Huntingburg regional area. All three compiled better than average seasons. Silver Creek hopes to become -the “Milan’’ of this southern district. The Dragons have five players six-two or taller and move well. A Jeffersonville crew beaten only once during the season had to settle for a 39-35 sectional title score last year, and this time "Big Ed” Denton may be ready for Jeff.
