College Quintets In Loop Tourneys By International News Service The Southern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournaments move into the semi-finals rounds tonight. Victors in the tournaments will be NCAA entries with the exception of one participant — North Carolina State -* in the ACC championships at Raleigh, N. C. NCS, ranked fourth in the nation v by International News Service, is the defending champion in the ACC tournament but even if the Wolfpack again wins the title they could not be in NCAA games because NCS is on probation on a "tryout" charge. In that case, the runnerup would advance to the NCAA games. North Carolina State Thursday night won its ACC opening game, 101 to 76, over Clemson. Duke beat South Carolina, 83 to 68, Virginia upset Maryland, 68-67, and Wake Forest downed North Carolina, 95 to 82. .Tonight’s semi-final round pits North Carolina state against Wake Forest and Duke against Virginia.

Tough Teams In Indianapolis' Semi District INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — This is the noblest semi of them all. The regiohais which will send representatives to the Indianapolis next-to-last shooting are loaded. In addition to having hlne tional titlists returning, there are foUr regional defenders (the maximum), the defending state champion dnd the runher-up, still in action. TWb seml-finklists ate bracketed in the same ultimate semi tone this time by the shift of Muncie’s regional from Fort Wayne to the Indianapolis shindig. That shift also set up the possibility of one of thb greatest clashes in HOosier prep hardwood semi final history. Riding into Saturday’s regionals are CriSpus Attucks, defending Indianapolis, and Muncie Central, defending at Muncie. The pairing of the March 12 semi is such that these two teams, each beaten but once this year, could meet for the semf title. Aliye at Rushville is the defending state champ Milan, set to meet Connersville, 17-6, In the first game. Should Milan get by Connersville and the winner of the Vevay (only 1955 newcomer) and Rushville game, it would set Up a tepeat of the 1954 final in the second game of the Indianapolis semi between Milan ahd Mnncie Central. But betbre Jay McCreary and, his Bearcats even get Out of the Muncie regional, they’ll have to dispose of Farmland and perhaps get a chance to even tourney scores with Milan’s 1954 coach, Marvin Wood, who has New Castle going against Richmond in the Muhcle opener. When Muncie hung a 81-45 defeat oii NeW Castle during the season. Wood said of the then Unbeaten Bearcats: “I don’t want to be (he first, I want to be the list to beat Muncie this year.” Attucks, once-beaten like Muncie, is the sole returner to the Capital City show. The Tigers have Wilkinson, whose major claim to fame is having the second best winning record of the four entries, at 16-4. Anderson, a tourney horse, slipped through the season with a totally unimpressive 7-1 L mark which it will place against a? Speedway team- thM had jiist’the reverse, a 12-7 season. And at Columbus, fans have the only all-1954 regional in the state. Rut the blihd-fold pairings did give fans a slight shakeup In schedule. This time Franklin ahd Gteensbuffc open and defender Columbus tries Scottsburg in the second game. Safest lucky bucks tire being bet on three of the regional winners to repeat—Crispus Attacks at Indianapolis; Columbhs at Columbus, and Muncie Central at Muncie. The lone defeat should be handed Milan's defending state champs by a Cohnersville team (which holds the sole win this year over Crispus Attacks) and Connersville is a good bet tb get a shot at Muncie as the Rushville representative Ih the Indianapolis semi.
