Lafayette's Semi-Final Is Well Balanced LAFAYETTE, Ind. (INS) — The four regional sites that will funnel teams down the northwest passage to the Lafayette semifinal of the Indiana high school basketball tourney has turned into one of the best balanced sones in the state. It features the two surviving unbeaten squads of the four which started the chase in the 752 field one week ago. The northwest also contains such powers as Hammond, Gary Roosevelt and tour-ney-wise Lafayette. Whatever people’s choice sentiment is left over from unbeaten Francesville at Logansport and unbeaten Chesterton at Hammond, both first-time sectional winners, goes to Crawfordsville at Covington. Two regional defenders return from last year in the forms of Hammond and Lafayette. The two squads last during the season and divided one game each. At Lafayette, the regional has the four teams that have wop the regionals almost in order. Frankfort the 1949 winner faces Lafayette the 1950-52 and 1954 winger in the first game.

1953 winner, in the afternoon. The Hammond show offers fans i a re-enactment of the first game i of the 1954 show. The powerladened Wildcats of Hammond meet , Gary Roosevelt In the first game. ' Hammond is defending regional king. i Michigan City 15-5 record to- | gether in the season and is back to tangle with one of the upbeatens—Chesterton a 24-0 horse to date. I The other unbeaten entry is running at Logansport in little Fran- I ■ cesville which has matched Ches- < terton stride for stride. I Francesville has much the eas- ' ier route of the two unblemished 1 squads so far as this Saturday and probable survival are concerned, i Francesville meets Goodland and j if successful, the winner of the j 1 Royal Center-Monticello game for the title. ( The Covington firing has Clin- , ton Clintonian sports editor Don Ruby turning into a split personality. Although he chose Crawfordsville for the state title, Ruby now ' finds hometown loyalties swinging him into Clinton’s rooting section for the Covington regional. Ruby’s salvation would be the elimination of Clinton by Fillmore in the first afternoon game and Crawfordsville's once - beaten-only only Athenians romping off with the glory in the second game against Attica and with the title at night. That last paragraph contains this corners opinion of what will ' happen at Cdvington. At Logansport in the absence of a name 1 power, the Francesville streak should be extended by two games. i Hammond learned the lesson of I letdown the hardway at Lafayette and has won 16 straight games so far. The Wildcats should roll through the regional. —’ ■ - Lafayette with Marion Crawley is a percentage bet.in any tourney.

(International) Giardello Knocks Out Peter Mueller MILWAUKEE (INS) — Peter Mueller. German middleweight who is known as the Clown of Cologne, did nod feel like a very funny man today. There was little humor left inside the 27-year-oM boxer after he absorbed a terrific beating from Joey Giardello—the nation's No. 1 contender for Bobo Olson’s 160pound crown Tuesday night. A crowd of 10.003 fans, most of whom had come to watch Mueller, saw the Philadelphia belter flatten the German hopeful at 29 seconds of the second round in the Arena. Mueller virtually was helpless j start oPthr W; round bout. There was little doubt after Giardello tossed his first ‘ punch that the outcome would be any dlfferen.t Only the round had to be decided. It only took Giardello three minutes and 29 seconds to dispose of Mueller and practically end any hope he may have had of meeting Olson for a possible title match this summer. Weighing Giardello, the nation's top middleweight contender, had Mueller stretched out on the canvas when the bell ended the first round with the count having reached six. Mueller's handlers dragged him to his corner where they worked feverishly to bring him around. When Mueller answered the bell 1 for the second round, it was a wobbly figure which went out to meet his attacker. Mueller missed a left lead. Giardello shot out a wicked right cross sending Mueller heeling to the canvas. At the count of six, Mueller got i up. He staggered into the ropes and fell flat on his back. 'Referee Omar Crocker counted the German out. Louis Armstrong and his World Famous Combo, at Edgewater Park, Celina, Ohio Sunday, March 6th Dance 9 till 1
