Semi-Finals To Cut Field To Four Quintets INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — The program tor the four Semi-Final center* of the Indiana high school basketball tourney reads like a vaudeville schedule —two matinees, “trained seals" and an evening performance. The matinees were set-up by the luck of the draw and sectional results at Lafayette and at Bloomington. The trained seal, dog act. call It what you will, is at Elkhart. And Indianapolis has the all-star evening performance. Twelve games today and tonight at the four centers will pare the Sweet 16 of the original 762 teams to the final foursome that will meet next Saturday at. Butler Fieldhouse for the title. A new' champion was assured when Rushville bumped Milan's defenders in the Rushville regional title game, last Saturday. However, a former champion may take the crown again since four are still alive including Crawfordsville. 1911 winner, which batltes Gary Roosevelt, national Negro high school champs 1933-38. In the Lafayette matinee. Lafayette, 1916 and 1948 winner, plays Monticello in the other afternoon game at the Purdue Fieldhouse. Lafayette never is sneezed out of a tourney, but Monticello is a Hrst-tlme regional winner and the interest at Lafayette definitely settles on the first game and its winner. Switx City. Wabash Valley titlist and the tourney’s winningest with 29-2. seeks a first final berth against New Albany, the tourney’s offensivest with an 87 per game average, in the other matinee—at Bloomington. New Albany 'will be trying for a return to the final tour for the

first time since 1952 when it lost in the afternoon to eventual champion Muncie, 68-67. Vincennes, the 1923 state king, goes against Evansville Reitz, whose only appearance in the final four ended in a 60-58 loss in the title game to—guess who?— Muncie. Vincennes and Reitz hold the dubious distinction of having the worst records of any of the Sweet 16. Elkhart’s semifinal show' could have been power-packed had it not been for the upset bug that bit hard in the sectionals. As it is, the show is filler for the. other three centers. Fort Wayne North is head and shoulders above the rest of the field, including its first opponent. Sheridan. North should be around to play the winner of the Misha-waka-Hartford City contest for the title. . _2.i. While it is part of a "seal act" this week, the pairing for the final is such that North would be a good, but very good, darkhorse for the title. , Indianapolis has the evening performance to top them all, providing the stars don’t stumble in dress rehearsal. Crispus Attucks, seeking a second final berth (it lost to IReitz in 1951), takes Columbus in the first afternoon game. Muncie Central, seeking an unprecedented fifth state crown to go with the ones it won in 1925-31-51-52, has Rushville in the other game. Attucks is running 26-1 for the entire year and Muncie Central, the INB pre-season choice for the title, has a 25-1 record. They are two. one. respectively in total tourney offense. This should be tops. The four finalists will move to Indianapolis for a full day’s workout in Butler Fieldhouse next week and a frantic finish to a frenetic season.

Little League To Be Expanded To Six Teams Gene Rydell was elected president of the Decatur Little League as the managing personnel of the league held its preliminary organization meeting for the 1955 season Friday night at the Elks home. IRydell. a former president of the league, succeeds Al Beavers, who served for the past year, arid will continue in the league personnel as vice president. The other league pffleers George I-aurent, secretary, and Norman Steury, treasurer, were reelected. Officials, after lengthy discussion, voted to expand the Little League to six teams this season. , Four teams .have been operated by the league during the two years of its existence and officials feel that expanding to six teams will afford more opportunity for more boys, aged 9 to 12. to partic, ipate than to operate a farm or minor league during the mornings. Hence, the farm league teams have been abandoned and two additional Little League teams will be added to the regular season schedule. Difficulty in obtaining sufficient adult supervision for the farm league during the mornings was one of the leading reasons for dropping the farm league. The Pony League will also be operated this season, under supervision of the Little League officers. Two Pony League teams were formed last summer and met with excellent response. Definite decision on the number of Pony League teams will be announced within a few days, also plans for a league of other teams, probably, Berne, will be completed.

New Oats Variety Held Undesirable Company Declares Variety Unsuitable A new oats variety. Missouri 0205, was listed as undesirable today by a company which is the country’s leading processor of oats for human consumption and in livestock and poultry rations. . Mo. 0-205 has been gaining friends among growers in the north central region. The company, however, said that it has found the variety unsuitable for milling and less desirable than others of livestock and poultry feeding. A company spokesman said that it probably will refuse to buy pure Mo. 0-205 oats and will discount oats containing a mixture of the variety. - Milling yields from this variety are lowered because the variety is difficult to hull, company milling authorities said. Mo. 0-205 contains a high percentage of small, thin oats which must be removed before hulling. They also said that the edible portion is dark in color and would produce an off-color product. The company added that its discriminating feed customers would not accept it as poultry oats or crimped oats. Bright, plump oats are preferred. The appearance of Mo. 0-205 deteriorates with the slightest weathering. Pocket Veto For Game Warden Bill Craig Explains His Veto Action INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Governor George N. Craig let a broad shaft of light into what officially is a mystery until Saturday midnight when he issued a statement explaining why he will let the game warden bill die. . Bills not specifically signed or vetoed by the governor before Saturday midnight are killed by pocket v«te Craig said one of .these pocket vetoes is slated for a measure favored by his Department of Conservation officials. The governor said that after the bill, intended to put the game wardens on a basis similar to that of the state police troopers, was jo amended by the lawmakers he jould no longer accept it. He edclared that a change requiring that the central state committee of the political party, other than that of the governor, approve one-half the wardens "did exactly opposite of what it was intended to correct.” Craig said his administration will continue to operate the warden system on a bipartisan basis.
