There are 1S lettermen from the team that won three games and lost sewn last season . . . Expert chefs are being interviewed all over the world to select 100 to cook for the 6,000 athletes and officials from 70 countries during the Olympic games . . . They will prepare food in ten kltchene st the Olympic village, and the Idea is to give each competitor the type of fare he’s accustomed to at home . . . “We are making sure that no athlete’s chances will be spoiled by unfamiliar food,” said Norman Carly on, chairman of the housing and catering committee... Carlyon says Melbourne is going to greater pains than any host city in the past "to cater tor the individual eating habits of over 7(7 nations with variations for religions, feast days, national celebrations and training regimens” .. The Australian department of immigration will pay part of the passage money for any chefs who want to remain ft Australia after the games . . . Those staying will be offered positions in hotels and .restaurants . . . Speaking of the Olympics. Sam Brown, director of the Australian information bureau in New York, has suggested in a letter to sports scribes that the games not be referred to as the "summer’’ Olympics . . . “They are the 1956 Olympics,” he says . . Brown explains that the Australian summer does not officially begin until December but that November 22, opening date of the games, “is near enough for practical purposes” . . . Welterweight champion Carmen Basilio apparently isn’t superstitious . . ..

Eleven Former State Champs In Regionals INDIANAPOLIS (INS) —Nine of the 16 Regional eenters in the IHSAA’s 45th annual prep basketball tourney have at least one former state Champion beaded by Indlanapolis with defending, unbeaten and record-breaking Crispus Attacks. Anderson also is on hand to offer Aitneks a stiff firat game test Saturday as the remaining field of •4 teams is paired to 19, which will battle for tour semi-final crowns 'March 10. Anderson has titles from 1935, 1937 and 1946 and runner-up trophies from 1914, 1918 and 1921. Only three of the regional centers Columbus, Evansville and Kokomo — is without at least a runneiMip and the other four — Greencastle, Hammond, Jeffersonville and Mkrtlnsvllle-have bad one bridesmaid each with nary a bride Host teams at Greencastle in 1931 and 1933 and Hammond in 1935 lost in the title game At Jeffersonville, Mitchell failed in the title game and at Martinsville, Terre Haute Gerstmeyer couldn’t cut it in 1953. 'Muncie Central is the heaviest ladened with trophies and lightest with hopes for adding more at this time with four victories and four title-game defeatsMuncie is matched with two former winners still in the running. The Bearcats lost in 1923 to Vincennes, whose Alices also are living weak sisters in this year’s chase, and in 1954 to Milan, a good hoi*se threat to the Attucks domination. Those year's incidentally marked the first and last time (so |ar) that Muncie got to the final Jams. It also lost in 1927 and 939 and won in 1928, 1931, 1951 and 1952. Vincennes is going into Huntingburg as defending regional champs this year in company with Jasper, 1949 kings of Hoosier hoopla hysteria. ~ ‘ Other doubling occurred at Logansport, sort of, with Logansport a 1934 champion in the field including Winamac, a 1932 loser in the last game. Lafayette has only one ehampion In the running but it has two titles, 1916 and 1948, and the Broncos have three also-rans, 1919, 1920 and 1950. Elkhart features South Bend Central, rated as a better tdhm than the 1953 squad that beat Oerstmeyer out Os he bunting by a single point. South Bend high, predecessor to the modern Central, got to the title round but lost by one point to Wingate. Fort Wayne has a single title flying above host South Side. 1938. and Marion has one showing for the host team. 1926 Os the 11 former champions still in the running, eight are expected to take their regionals: Fort Wayne South. South Bend Central. Marion. Muncie Central, Milan, Attacks, Jasper and Lafayette. Os the five runner-ups, three are figured to be alive after Saturday : Greencastle, Hammond and Terre, Haute Gerstmyer Mitchell could make word eaters of experts but not Winamae. Champions expected to fall are Vincennes, Anderson and Logansport but woe to the tourney team that turns its back on any of these stalwarts before it actually falls and is counted out. Four former champions should win their way back to Butler Fleldh ouse for the March 17 wrapup of this mouth of madness but more about that next week. Willshire-Rockford Game Site Switched The class B sectional tourney game tonight between the undefeated Willshire Bearcats and Rockford, because of the heavy demand for tickets, has been shift ed from Celina to St. Mary’s and will be-played at 8 o’clock. ■ The Other tourney games wil| be played at Celina tonight.
