Gerstmeyer Team To Beat At Evansville (First of four stories on probable team alignments by semistate districts in the Indiana high school basketball tourney.) By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Some observers figure if Terre Haute Gerstmeyer doesn't make it this year—the Black Cats may slip as a perennial contender for the Indiana high school basketball crown. Three times since 1953. coach Howard Sharpe piloted the Vigo County club into the four-team finals—only to lose to the eventual champion in the afternoon or evening round. Gerstmeyer has been one of the hot favorites for the 47th annual title ever since it lost to defending champion Indianapolis Attacks 68-59 in last year’s afternoon session of the finals. It has worn the favorite role for obvious reasons. Sharpe lost only Bob Hickman from that year’s starting quintet, and its sparkling 23-1 record speaks for itself. Favor Evansville Teams But Sharpe isn’t counting his chickens. He said his club, throughout the season ranked secoqd in the state, may run into rough sectional competition from city foes Garfield and Schulte and one or two county teams. The Cats whipped Garfield by 14 points in the Wabash Valley tourney and finish regular - season warfare against the twice-beaten Purple Eagles Wednesday. While the southern district is not as strong as in previous years, it includes half a dozen or so other quintets that could come through. Among them are the Evansville sectional and regional winner and small-town powers Dale and Sandborn. The fact that the semi-state site has been moved from the Indiana University Fieldhouse at Bloomington to Evansville’s new Memorial Stadium may give the Pocket City contenders a shot in the arm —especially since no Evansville club has reached the "Fieldhouse Four” since 1951. r Evansville Lincoln, , which finished the campaign with a sparkling 17-1 record, has beaten every city team. Art Taylor’s bunch is led by 6-3 Ted Lander, a pokerfaced southpaw who has been a fixture in the starting lineup for four years. Evansville Central and regional contender Princeton, both battling for the Southern Conference title this week, could make it rough. Central is 13-5, Princeton 15-3.

Dale Sectional Favorite Such other downstate favorites of other years as New Albany, » Seymour, Jeffersonville and Jasj per have not been consistently imj pressive enough this season to fig--5 ure as state title threats.

And the , Tiger Cubs, whose tourney route leads through the Lafayette semi- , state, had to shoot an even .500 from the field and can, a record 1 24 straight freethrows to do it.

Indiana Whips lowa To Keep , Big Ten Lead CHICAGO (UP) — Michigan State’s surprising Spartans pushed within striking distance of the Big Ten basketball lead today, only one game behind pace-setting Indiana. The Spartans, rolling along on a string of seven straight cage victories, knocked off Illinois for the second time this season, beating the Illini, 89-83, at Champaign, 111., ■ Monday night. The win was Michigan State’s 7th in 10 games to tie with Ohio State in 2nd place. The Buckeyes ’ were idle. Indiana maintained its slim pos- ’ session of the lead with its 6th straight win, a 90-76 breeze over , lowa to which the league's leadI ing scorer, Archie Dees, contrib- [ uted 37 points .for a new season I high in individual scoring. Minnesota moved into sole pos- , session of 4th place with an easy, j 85-53 triumph over last place Wis- ; consin, and Purdue bounced back from 4 successive losses to notch , its 6th win in 11 games and wind [ up in sth place. In mowing down Illinois, the , pre - season title favorite, the ; Spartans broke an Illini 21-game ' home winning streak. Jack Qulggle , led the invaders with 26 points as I they moved to an early lead and never fell behind. It was the first loss for the Illini . in Huff Gymnasium since lowa beat them, 89-70, on Feb. 21, 1955. The Hoosiers, following the pace of Dees who boosted his per game scoring average from 22.5 to 24 points, jumped to a 9-0 lead and were never in trouble. Hallie Bryant with 15 points and Dick Neal with 11 gave Dees any help he needed. Minnesota shooters scored with ease over Wisconsin, particularly from the free throw line, where they bagged 27 out of 32 shots. The Badgers had a monentary 4-3 lead at the start but failed to come close thereafter. Gopher forward Dave Tucker got 16 points for. game scoring honors. The Boilermakers had to pour on the steam in a final rally to defeat Michigan. The lead changed hands 5 times and was tied 4 times in the first half which ended with , the Boilermakers in front. 36-34. Guard Charlie Kehrt of Purdue got 19 points to take scoring honors in the seesaw contest and Ron Kramer was high for the Wolver- ’ ines with 18. • Big Ten Standings I by UNITED PRESS I W L Pct TP OP i Indiana .i 8 2 .800 800 721 I Ohio State .... 7 3 .700 727 677 !

Big Ten Will Adopt Aid To Athletes Plan CHICAGO (UP) — The Big Ten was certain today to adopt a revolutionary aid-to-athletes plan which would base all assistance on need only. Indiana cast aside whatever doubts still remained that the Big Ten would reject the plan when the Hoosiers approved the idea at a faculty meeting Monday night. Illinois, Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan and Michigan State all had okayed the idea earlier. Indiana thus became the 6th school to approve, guaranteeing the idea a majority vote at the conference’s official meeting Friday. Northwestern’s stand still is not known. Minnesota, lowa and Ohio State had voted hgainst the plan, so, until Indiana’s approval, it was theoretically possible for the conference to wind up in a 5-5 deadlock Friday, thus killing the idea which needed at least a majority to become a regulation. Northwestern Athletic Director Stu Holcombe, however, refused to admit Monday night that Indiana’s vote would put the plan over. “Nothing’s official until Friday,” Holcombe said. “Maybe somebody will decide to change his mind be-' tween now and then. I can’t understand how these unofficial votes leak out.” Informed Wildcat sources said, however, that it appeared virtually certain Northwestern also would apnrove the idea. The regulation would require all prospective athletes to file financial statements —before they enroll —with schools they are interested in attending. An independent agency then

would examine the statements and determine how much aid each student should be allowed. The aid would be determined solely on the difference between what an educa- ' tion would cost at a particular school and the athlete's ability to pay. Schools would be allowed to offer aid to athletes only during a definite period each year. Once an athlete accepts a school’s offer he would be ineligible for any other Big Ten institution. Minnesota and Ohio State said they opposed the program because of the extensive work-aid plans they’ve established over the years. Both schools are ideally located in 1 metropolitan centers where they easily can place athletes in parttime, off-campus jobs. lowa opposed the idea because it claimed, if the plan was adopted, it “could no longer compete with the Big Seven conference.” Bowling Scores Classic League W L PU Acker Cement —w*..
