Hartford Team From Smallest School In Race INDIANAPOLIS (UP) •— The small schools took quite a lacing in last week's Indiana high school basketball tourney sectionals, but they are not “down and out.” A United Press survey today showed seven schools with an enrollment of less than 100 students among the 64 first-round champions, the same number as last year. Smallest sectional winner is Hartford Center of Adams County, with a student body listed as 60. The Gorillas were victorious at Adams Central last Saturday and take a classy 23-1 record into Saturday’s regional encounter with Fort Wayne South. Tangier, one of six first-time sectional winners, is next with just 71 students. Other small-town • cig-shots” include Sandborn with 74 students, Jackson Twp., winner at Greensburg, with 76, Richland Twp., Crawfordsville sectional titlist, with 83. Colfax with 86, and Marengo with 93. RS * ’Mi;-- / W ' | of TerrifU I ■ Rargo‘ ins, l ISttvewp'® I I 50%J Pllißti 1 .• g saa —i • BMH® IS? Iwchfo' Out | « big I ra Thur * EHL- "Ui "S

Solsberry has an even 100 pupils, and unbeaten Otterbein and Lynnnville have 102, to round .out the “top 10,” On the other hand, Muncie Central’s four-time state champs have the strongest student body-2,902. Richmond, another North Central Conference school, is the only other outfit listed with a student body of more than 2,000. The Wayne County school numbers 2,103. Elkhart has 1,986, Lafayette 1,873, Fort Wayne South 1,679, and state champ Indianapolis Attucks 1,551. Clear Creek, the Huntington sectional champ, was the smallest first-round winner last year with just 57 pupils. New Ross, with 68 students, was the smallest to advance to the semi-finals last year. What about this time? Just about every small-school contender for the now - called 'semi-state” is classified as the underdog. But should Hartford Center upset South Side, the Gorillas would be favored against the Kendallville - Garrett winner for the Summit City regional crown. Downstate, Sandborn stands the best chance to give the small schools a shot in the arm. The Blue Jays, beaten only twice during the season, will be favored over Sullivan at Huntingburg. Their next foe probably will be Jasper, and that potential match is a toss-up. NBA Playoffs Will Begin March 16 NEW YORK (UP) — National Basketball Association players will fight for shares in a $51,000 pool in their league playoffs starting March 16, league President Maurice Podoloff announced today.

e Lopez Declares Chisox Belter Than Indians TAMPA, Fla., (UP)—AI Lopez figured today he will have a better shot at the American League pennant with the White Sox than he did with the Indians because “we have a better defense and speed.” "This club isn’t going to let in as many runs as Cleveland,” Lopez predicted after putting his new club through its spring training paces. “Its defense is much better than I had in Cleveland and there is no comparison either when it comes to speed.” As for pitching, Lopez admitted the Indians might have “a little edge” but added “M doesn’t figure to be much when you can start out a series by shooting Billy Pierce, Jcak Harshman and □ick Donovan at your opponents.” Claims Slight Bat Edge The good-natured, smiling Lopez said he thought that his new and old clubs "are just about equal when it comes to hitting, with perhaps the White Sox having a shade the better of it.” He expressed confidence that the White Sox “will be in the running all the w T ay.” “All we need to do is to add a little more strength and I am firmly convinced we can go all the way,” Lopez said, disclosing that the first thing he is looking for is a left-handed bitting catcher “I need a left-handed hitting catcher behind Sherman Lollar who also could be available for pinch hitting duty,” Lopez declared. adding that he didn’t know where He might come up with such a player. His own catching candidates behind Lollar all are right-handed hitters. Likes Stengel’s Esttimate Told that Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankees had picked the White Sox as one of the teams to beat “because they have a manager who is too good to finish second all the time,” Lopez grinned and replied: “I hope old Case is right.” The former star catcher finished second with the Indians five times, each time behind the YanHe conceded that beating the Yankees “isn't going to be easy." "After all. they have more talent and a better bench than any other club in the league,” reasoned Lopez. “But 1 beat 'em back in 1954 and they can be beaten again.” Hatchery Fieldman Presents Program Bob Phillips, hatchery fieldman of the Farm Bureau co-op in Indianapolis, presented a program of slides and film strips on poultry raising and diseases of chickens to the Pleasant Mills adult farmers class at Pleasant Mills high school Monday night.

1.U., Michigan State Big Ten Co-Champions CHICAGO (UP) - Michigan State and Indiana reigned as cochampions today in the wake of the closest Big Ten basketball race in 31 years. The race lived up to its advance billing as a tight contest and left six of the ten contenders locked In final ties. Another tie could develop between Northwestern and Wisconsin at the bottom of the ladder if the Badgers lose their remaining game to lowa next Saturday in the league’s remaining game. Michigan State, losing 81-72 to Michigan Monday night, and the Hoosiers, trimming Illinois 84-76, concluded their campaigns with identical 10-4 records. Minnesota beat Ohio State, 76-69, leaving each with 9 wins and 5 losses in a tie for third place. Purdue closed its season with a 72-63 triumph over lowa. It was the JBoilermakers’ eighth win in 14 games and matched Michigan's record to tie for fifth place. Illinois, the experts pre-season choice to take it all, wound up a poor seventh with a 7-7 effort for the campaign and lowa, Wisconsin and Northwestern brought up the rear. The Spartans, heading into Monday night’s contest with 10 straight conference victories and sole possession of the lead, bowed to the Wolverines for the second time this season. The setback, however, still left the Spartans holding on the NCAA’s bid for the conference representative in the Lexington, Ky. playoff. The title-hungry Spartans never had a chance against a Michigan team that could do no wrong. The Wolverines jumped to an early lead and walked off at the half with a wide 52-34 advantage. Big Ron Kramer sparked the winning attack with 21 points and sophomore George Lee poured in 17. Archie Dees, the Big Ten’s leading scorer with a season average of 25.4 points per game, bagged 25 points to lead Indiana to its 84-76 win over the Illini. Teammate Dick Neal would up his collegiate cage career by set ting a new conference season record for field goal accuracy with 34 buckets in 164 attempts. His 51.2 per cent average eclipsed the , previous record set in 1954 by another Hoosier, Don Schlundt with ' a 50.4 percentage.. Wisconsin emerged from the cellar by a matter of 11 percentage points by beating Northwestern, 82-69. The victory was only No. 2 in 13 starts for the Badgers, but it gave them sufficient edge to dump the Wildcats, who finished with 2 wins in 14 games into last place.

Denies Pro Foolball Reaps Huge Profits WASHINGTON, (UP) — Owner George Preston Marshall of die Washington Redskins denied today that professional football teams are “making an enormous amount of money." Marshall’s unusually calm but vigorous defense of pro football was contained in a letter to Rep. William E. Miller (R-NY), who has demanded an investigation of pro football. Marshall said Miller’s recent statement that National Football League clubs are making large profits "simply isn’t true." The Redskin owner said NFL gross receipts in 1956, including television fees, were less than $9 million—even though it was the biggest year in league history. “For 12 franchises,” Marshall added, ‘that is not as much gross business as is done by small department stores in any one of the many cities in the United States. The net profits would be less than $500,000 for the 12 clubs.” Marshall rejected Miller’s proposal that the NFL should add New teams. He said this would “increase the economic hazards of which we have many and would also bring about a more competitive situation with college football.” The Washington owner said that of the 360 players selected in the NFL draft, only half that number report for trials and not more than 60 make the grade.
