North Side Is Top Favorite In Semi-Final ELKHAIRT, Ind. (INS) — Fort Wayne North has come a long way from the first two games of the season when it dropped decisions to high and mighty Crispua Attacks and Muncie Central. The Redskins seem to have developed a formula of winning only the games that count They dropped two in the season to city-rival Central but bumped the favored Oentralites In the sectional. Then although they lost their last two regular season games, North has six in the tourney with an average winning margin of 15 points. * , For a while it was said that North Side’s offense would function more smoothly , if the Redskins could play with three basketball’s. But coaeh Don Bruick, who replaced Jim Hings as director of an all veteran combo, finally got the boys jelled. What with" Muncie and Crispua Attucks threatening to kill each other off in a game of games inthe Indianapolis semi-final, Fort WaVne North stands out as the best darkhorse candidate in the running. North Side and its opponent, Sheridan, at the Elkhart afternoon second game Saturday share one thing in common — both lost to Crispus Attucks. The primary difference la that North held the capital city scoring champions to a 75-64 decision while Sheridan's Hoosier Conference kings were 44 points over their heads, losing B(M6. Only the rankest of upsets" could keep North from taking Sheridan with ease in the second afternoon game at Elkhart. As much a mismatch la the first game in which a good Hartford City squad with a IM record la out of its depth against • Unclosing Mishawaga squad which holds the distinction of dropping a 25 point game to Crispus Attacks. The Maroons closed with four solid wins, however, and are looking for an ilth victory th i-tow against Hartford City, Since the Maroons came through stiffer competition with an offensive record of 382 compared to Hartford City's 386 the South Bend neighbors rate a vote of confidence. Fort Wayne North won from Mishawaka by five points back when each of the five men on the North Sider squad considered himself North’s only offense. North’s Redskins should make it by 10 points this time. Pro Basketball Rochester 100. Syracuse >7. Philadelphia 102, Minneapolis 89.

Mexican Fighter Is ! New Bantam Champ I SAN FHANCIBCO (INB)—Raul I Macias, the toast of Mexico, be- | came the toast of most of the I rest of the world today as the I National Boxing Association's I newly - crowned bantamweight I champion. | And for those points that refuse I to recognize the NBA version of I the 118-pound title, Macias offered I a convincing demonstration of I his ability by winning the crown I with an 11th round technical I knockout of Thailand’s Chamrern I Songkitrat in San Francisco Wed- I nesday night. I Macias alternately bombed and I stabbed the befuddled Songkitrat I with a brilliatly-tast left hand I throughout most of the fight. And I when he had the Thailander sag- I ging in the latter rounds. Macias I scored almost at will with both I hands. I Songkitrat was down four times I —twice in the sixth and twice in I the eleventh—before referee Fred I Apostoli halted the fight after 2 I minutes, 38 seconds of the I eleventh. I The early end of the scheduled I 12-round bout touched off a fren- I zied demonstration by Macias sup- I porters. g They swarmed into the ring, I virtually overwhelming half a I dozen police officers who tried to t maintain order. Macias was hoist- I ed to shoulders, draped with a viv- I idly-colored shawl, and handed a I Mexican rooster to hold in his I hands. ■ | Meanwhile, others outside the I ring played guitars, sang, oper- I ated sirens, or joined in organized I cheers. | The California Athletic Commie* I sion refused to give the bout I championship status, but most I other states will consider Macias I the 118-pound king. J The NBA ordered the bantam- I weight title of Robert Cohen va- I rated after the Frenchman failed I ' to defend the crown against Ma- I ’ cias, the No. 1 contender.
