glonal winners correctly and I'd settle for a .500 batting average this week. The Bloomington and Fort Wayne semi-finals defy any more than a cultured guess being tossed at them while the Indianapolis and Lafayette semi-finals appear so easy that the mystics may be six miles from shore without a life saver for being so obvious.

has tasted one more bit of glory by unending Gary Froebel in the first contest Lafayette should taken unbeaten New Ross to the cleaners for the very first time this season in the night game that could be closer than back-to-back aces. Unbeaten and defending state champion Crispus Attacks is even a more logical choice to nail down its third semi-final crown in six years for Coach Ray Crowe. Attacks should repeat Its revenge win over Connersville, only team in the last 58 games to edge the Tigers- Attucks avenged that 195455 setback this year and is a prohibitive favorite to repeat the victory. < Muncie Central (love those Bearcats) traveled in faster company than Scottsbarg and should have

little trouble disposing of Scottsburg in the first game. Look for another thrilling Muncle-Attucks night game with Attucks winning g trifle more handily than last year. Anyone who cares to try to pick the Fort Wayne winner is welcome. Fort Wayne South showed itself capable of winning the big ones but not the little ones during the season and for that reason Wabash stands a good chance of putting South on the banks for the rest of this year’s show. Elkhart, because It lost by two less points to Lafayette than did Marion, is favored over Marion in this reckoning and out of sheer desperation Elkhart for the title. Jasper may be a year too late but it will do Terre Haute Gerstmeyer and Coach Howard Sharpe a big favor by. eliminating them in that first game at Bloomington. Geretmeyer is simply a year too early for Attucks at Indianapolis New Albany played some peculiar ball during the season while Princeton’s only peculiar game was ah upset loss to Bloomington. However, peculiar or not, New Albany showed itself capable of hitting tor 122 points In one game (against Bos»£) while Princetqu’e best fell 39 points short of that mark. Jasper could make up for last year’s sectional debacle by upending New Albany at night and moving to the March 17th four team final as the southwestern rep presentative. That would, make the afternoon games of the finals: Attacks vs JasperElkhart vs Lafayette. Pro Basketball Minneapolis 98, Fort Wayne 95. St. Louis 96, Rochester 89. Philadelphia 108. New York 87.
