meyer at Evansville, Gary Roosevelt at Lafayette, and defending state champion Indianapolis Attacks here. The South Benders risk their 26-game winning streak in the opener at the Fort Wayne Coliseum against South Side of the Summit City in the afternoon headliner of the day's 12-game program. South Side's Archers hope a combination of Mike McCoy's towering height, scoring balance and perhaps a bit of luck will help unseat the high-flying South Benders, riding hard to duplicate Attacks’ feat last year to win the “State” following a perfect season. Marion and Noblesville play the second game at Fort Wayne. Gerstmeyer, nicked only once all year, is a top-heavy choice in the first Pocket City semistate. The Black Cats assumed the favorite’s role right after last year’s state tourney—and only an undefeated season handed South Bend Central a higher state rating. Gerstmeyer Vs. Seymour Gerstmeyer faces Seymour, one of five hopefuls that have never reached the “Fieldhouse Four,” after Evansville Lincoln clashes with Jasper. Lincoln also has lost but one game all season and like Seymour seeks its first finals berth,. ...... Hardpunning Roosevelt should find the; spacious Purdue University OArfld its liking. The Panthers were tourney runners-up two years ago, and their backers figure they have an excellent chance to finally bring the Steel City its first state title—and the first to the Calumet since 1940.

state champton Lafayette goes against Monticello in the afternoon preliminaries. At Indianapolis, finally Attacks is expected to collide with Muncie Central for the title. Muncie meets Southport in the afternoon, Attacks faces Connersville. The latter is the only rematch from last year when the Flying Tigers mauled Connersville, 67-49. Muncie Seeks Revenge Muncie is eager to avenge a one-point loss in the semis to Attacks two years ago. The state champs, on the other hand, enjoy a height advantage and thus hope to control the backboards. Noblesville, Monticello and Southport are the other “outsiders” shooting for their first semi-state titles. Greencastle faces the jinx that Wabash Valley tourney winner has ever won the “state.” Terre Haute Garfield came closest in 1947. The Purple Eagles gained the title game undefeated, then were smacked by Shelbyville, 68-58, in one of the tourney’s all-time great thrillers and upsets. Should the “name" teams prevail, they will monopolize next week’s three-game showdown for the third straight year. No small school has succeeded since Milan’s Indians earned a 32-30 nod over favored Muncie Central in 1954. Names Kitchen Crew Group for Supper Members of the kitchen crew committee for the pancake and sausage supper, to be held March 25 by the Decatur Lions club, were announced today by Frank Lybarger chairman of the committee.

Members of the kitchen crew will be: Alva Lawson, Jack Gordon. G. Remy Bierly, Weldon Baumgerdner, Richard Kershner, Dr. Melvin Weisman, Clyde Butler, Fred Corah, and Jay Marjdey. Mon Is Jailed For Public Intoxication Joseph O. McQuillen, 49, of Portage, Pa., was taken to the Adams county jail today for failure to pay a fine of $1 and costs for p’.blic intoxication at Berne last night. McQuillen was arrested by Karl Sprunger in that city. He told Mayor Robert Cole in city court here today that he was traveling north to Fort Wayne to get a job as a sign painter, and that he had been given a drink by one of the men he hitched a ride with. After®, wards, he walked 15 miles without getting a ride and fell asleep. McQuillen had only 40 cents in his pocket. A check will be made to see if he is wanted elsewhere. Tractor Maintenance School On March 20 Two tractor maintenance demonstration meetings will be held in the Co-op administrative building at Monroe March 20. The first meeting will start at 9:30 a m. The last session will start at 7:30 p.m. on that date. Forest Tucker states that a cut away of a tractor motor will be shown in motion. Many money saving ideas will be demonstrated and explained.
