Attacks Breaks Precedents On Second Title By ALLEN DALE INDIANAPOLIS (INS) — Indianapolis Crispus Attucks has performed the greatest “disservice'’ to Hoosier hoopla fans in the six years Ray Crowe has been turning the Tigers loose. The real gone Cats of Western Avenue left nothing for the fans to talk about . . . except Crispus Atutcks. Shattered Saturday night was the belief that no team could travel through an entire season unbeaten and then thread its way through the treacherous suddendeath tourney to the throne. Set was a new one-game finals’ scoring mark of 39 points quicker than you can say Oscar Robertson, who bested the 36 put in by Dee - Munroe for Madison in 1946. Smashed was the 97-point scoring record for the final four games. Oscar had 106 points to take the reeordWilaon-Eiaon heat him out of by two points in last year's title game. Ron Fisher, of Jeff, matched Oscar’s 95-point total this time. Although the 79 points Attucks accumulated in dumping Lafayette Jeff. 79-57, for the title did not break Attack’s record 97 points set when the Tigers trampled Gary (Roosevelt 97-74. it still was second only to Attacks’ own record for title-game scoring. Crowe is only the fourth coach and Attucks only the seventh team to win two championships la a row. , The Tigers now join the “two tor the money” circle made up of such legendary teams as Wingate. 1913-14, and Lebanon. 1917-18; storied Franklin, 1920-21-22; Marlon Crawley’s 1941-42 Washington teams; Evansville Bosse, 1944-45. and perennial Muncie Central, 1951-62. In winping its two titles, Attucks alone scored more points than the winners of the first five championships (counting Crawfordsville) or to move into the high-scoring era. It scored 34 points more than the teams in the two championship games immediately preceding the Tigers’ tale. Gone also from the off-season chatter IS the thought that an Indianapolis team cannot win the state —twice In case there were any doubters. Although, no thought ever was expressed on the subject, Attacks was the first all-Negro school to take the title and in Ray Crowe's first year, 1951, became the first such school to reach the four-team finals before losing. For ail practical purposes, this

title game ended eight seconds after it began when Qhpar hit his first of 18 field goals In 35 attempts. He had another fielder in 34 seconds. Attucks never was headed and with seven minutes of the game left to play hud 58 points * — which, as things turned out, would have won the title. Attucks hit 32 of 71 attempts from the field and 15 of 22 from the free throw line. Jeff connected on 20 of 58 from the field (led by Ronnie Fisher with seven of 14 and a total of 17 points) and 17 of 25 from the tree throw line. Oscar, who had two less fielders than all of Jeff, was flanked by 19 points from Stan Patton and the 10-points plus board-clearing antics of Bill Brown, while Ron had 16-point help from Jeff’s steady center Vic Klinker. Robertson fouled out with eight minutes to go in the afternoon game that Attucks w-on from Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, 68-59, but he still was high man for the game with 17 points. That left him 31 shy of the final four game record. Fisher sank 21 points and led Jeff to a hair-raising, 54-52 win over Elkhart (whose Dennis Tepe won the Trester Award. He was 20 points short of the record when the final game began. , There is talk that Ray Crowe will leave the coaching ranks to enter the insurance business. There are few worlds for him to conquer in high school coaching but it takes no genius (just as I was no genius in selecting Attucks to win the state title this year) to know that there isn't a college in the nation that wouldn’t be smart to keep Ray in the nation’s basketball coaching ranks.

To Announce Movie Winners Wednesday Academy Awards To Be On Television HOLLYWOOD (INS) —A young princess-to-be and an aging French crooner may steal the show right out from under the celebrated noses of this year's academy award nominess. Grace Kelly and Maurice Chevalier, two of the most popular stars in the world, will be on hand for the big event, to be telecast by NBC-TV Wednesday night from the Pantages theater in Hollywood.

Paris to croon the award-winning song In an intriguing cracked-voice accent to the millions of TV viewers who will be tuning in on the SfaOW... In Hollywood the betting is hot and. this year’s Oscar derby is so tight it may end in a photo-finish among the top actresses and catapult a darlf horse into the winner’s beith. The closest race in years is taking place between Italy’s Anna Magnanl and Hollywood's Susan Hayward.

Less likely winners are the two other best actress nominees, Katharine Hepburn and Jennifer Jones, both Oscar winners of previous years. In the top actor bracket, odds favor Ernest Borgnine, the benevtiment is strong for the late, great James Dean who wee kii led in his racing car last October. October nominees are Spencer Tracy, a two-time winner, James Cagney, who won in 1942 and Frank Sinatra a Johnny-come-lately and a best supporting winner in 1953 The star-studded event will be telecast from Hollywood and New York with Jerry Lewis acting as master of ceremonies for the movietown portion of the show and Claudette Colbert holding forth as emeee from the Century Theater in New York. .

Inside will stand the eight-foot-tall golden Oscars on either side of the stage and a giant screen from which a seldct audience of 2800 will watch the New YorkHollywood event.

Seeded Teams Begin Play In Invitational NtEW YORK (INS) — Seeded Louisvilte and Niagara — ranked second and fourth, respectively—uhlirater their big guns tonight at Madison Square Garden, intent upon blowing less-favored foes out of the national invitation basketball tournament. Louisville, 23-3 during the regular season, opposes defending champion Duquesne (17-9), and Niagara (20-6) meets St. Francis of Brooklyn (20-2). The Dukes and Terriers scored impressive opening-round victories Saturday, Duquesne defeating Oklahoma A&M. 69 to 61, and St. Francis walloping Lafayette, 85 to 74. In other first-round games, Xavier of Cincinnati squeaked past St Louis. 84 to 80, and Seton Hall routed Marquette, 96 to 78. Xavier’s next test comes Tuesday night against top-seeded Dayton. which defeated the Musketeers twice during the regular season. The Muskies’ chances look slim, indeed, at 6-5, 233-pound David Plontek, bolder of the school scoring record of 1,267 points in three seasons, was bounced off the squad Sunday for missing bed check after the St. Louis game. Plontek had 20 jjolhta and 15 rebounds against the Blinking, and he and marvelous little 5-7 Jimmy Boothe, who scored 21 including the basket that put the Muskies ahead to stay in the last three minutes, were the key factors in the victory- — — — Hard-driving, fast-breaking Seton Hall, which had an easy time with Marquette, is pitted against third-seeded St. Joseph’s of Philadelphia in Tuesday’s other quarterfinal. All-American Sihugo Green gave a brilliant demonstration of shooting. rebounding and playmaking as he guided Duquesne to its initial victory, but lack of height and lack of reserves darken the defenders’ future. Until the final 20 seconds, Duquesne coach Dudey Moore spelled only one of his five starters — Mickey Wlnograd, who sat out several minutes because he had four fouls. The Aggies’ dogged slow-down, possession-minded style of play aided the Dukes' Iron man stunt, but the tall, speedy Louisville Cardinals fea*urv a run-and-shoot attack that threatens to wear Sihugo and his pals to a frazzle. There doesn’t seem much to choose between Niagara and St. Francis. The Terriers did an intelligent job against Lafayette. Baffled in the, first half by a zone

defense, they finally solved it after the Intermission with accurate set shooting by Tony D-Elia and substitute Ley Yellin and the rugged rebounding of Al Inniss and Walt Adamushko. Inniss set a garden record, det-, ting 37 rebounds, but the 6-6 soph-' omore will have a rougher time of it against such proven board operatives as Niagara's 6-7 Tom Hemans and 6- sAlex Ellis.
