Tourney's Two Top Favorites At Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS (INB) - Anything that occurs to the Indiana high school basketball tournameat after the Indianapolis semi-final Saturday wiR be strictly antl-cM-mactic. Nothing that has occurred In Hoosier Hysteria in the past dozen years was more inopportune than moving Muncie to the Indianapolis semi-final show this year. No one could have foreseen It but the Saturday night clash would have been the championship game barring upsets now or in the supposition. The pairings were such that Muncie Central, had it won the Elkhart semi-final to which it ordinarily would have gone, would have met Indianapolis Crispus Attacks only for the state title. As it ta, these two powerful entries are favored to meet Saturday night for the semi-final crown which champion Milan wore last year and Its even money any way they’re taken. It is entirely possible that Columbus, which gave Attacks fits last year in a semi-final battle before toting, or Rushville, a strong South Central champ, could eliminate both front runners. But no one’s betting either will .do the trick. ■ Neither are in the offensive class with Muncie and Attacks. Columbus and Rushville are 50plus point per game shooters in the tourney while allowing 42plus points to opponents. Attacks is near the 74 point per game level aad Muncie ia near the 76 figure while holding foes to an average 43 and 45.7 points respectively. I ran this comparison more than a month ago but it still is the best yardstick available to illustrate the evenness of the two teams. During the regular season Attacks and Muncie Central played three common opponents. Attacks shot down Fort Wayne North 7544; Muncie turned the trick tt 8757. The Tigers got Terre Haute Qerstmeyer 57-44; Muncie won’ 72*58. Attacks took Indianapolis Tech 57-47; Muncie handled the Greeneiad 55-45. The one indication that Muncie is the better team is the fact that it is second highest In offense average of the final 16 teams compared to Attacks third-place ranking, while not on of Muncie’s shooters is in the top 10 of the regional scorers. Muncie has a much more balanced scoring attack than Attacks, whose Oscar Robertson led all regional firers with a 28.5 point per game production. Loss of Robertson could be disastrous while loss of any one of Muncie's five wouldn’t hurt as much offensively. This writer chose Muncie Centra! for the 'state championship last Nov. 17. The Bearcats balanced attack should carry them past Rushville in the afternoon and Attacks, which should win handily from Columbus, at sight. It’s just too bad there isn’t a co-championship.

A similar meeting reportedly will take place in San Francisco by members of the Pacific Coast conference TV committee. Both groups are expected to discuss, in secrecy, their opposition or approval of the latest attempt to pacify the two conferences who seek more regional TV games for the 1955 season. One of the modifications to placate both the Western conference and the PC€ is a reported proposal to allow a team to appear on one regional and one national telecast. That change may bring support of the plan from both groups. Observers reported it was the reason the S’CAATtteWdy delayed official announcement of its latest plan until Monday. ' "Between" now and Monday a mail vote on the TV idea is expected from member colleges.
