The potential is there, but the pressure is terrific. As in past years, Indianapolis Attucks and Tech are the top contenders from the Capital City semi-state district.

of three straight state finals appearances, tying the record, two state titles and runner-ups last year. Like Tech, the Tsgers were ranked among the best in the state all season. Both went into the final week of regular warfare with 15-5 records. If they meet next week, it would be the “rubber” game this year Elwood SUII Strong Both Attucks and Tech are well balanced. Attucks is back on the beam with big Ed Searcy fully recovered from an ankle frtcture and plenty of help from uttle Laverne Benson and Joe Anderson Techs hopes ride with Eddie Hannon, Larry Bemis, Harold Boyd and Ron McCauley. The Capital City sectional survivor can expect trouble from the Anderson area champion—probable either the host Indians or Elwood’s Central Conference champions. Elwood's Panthers won at Anderson for the first time last year and they’re still strong, with 6-5 Darrell McQuitty pulling the strings. Columbus. Scottsburg and Madison are the top savories in the Columbus regional area. Shelbyville could give Columbus sectional fits, and Scottsburg can look for an argument from Madison s Cubs before getting a ticket to Columbus. Brookville Unbeaten Muncie Central, traditionally a tough tourney "horse” but relatively young this year, should monopolize its first two tourney weeks, then head for the Butler Fieldhouse semis. Two North Central Conference rivals—Richmond and New Castle (or Lewisville) could dispute the Bearcats rights to advance to the third round at Indianapolis. Rushville, the other regional district, is paced by the host Lions and unbeaten Brookville. Both appear to be the class in their respective sectionals. Especially Brookville, which last Saturday rolled over Aurora with ease. If you have something to sell or rooms torrent, try a Democrat Want Al — They bring results.

Comiskey Predicts White Sox Pennant CHICAGO (UP) — Vice Preside* Chuck Comiskey of the Chicago White Sox predicted the 1958 American League pennant for his team today because ‘‘Detroit and Baltimore and Chicago are going to win more games, so the New York Yankees won't win as many." Comiskey, on the eve of the departure of his ball club for training camp, said the White Sox would be "8 to 10 games better than last year.’ * Thus, he expected the, team to win between 98 and 100 games, compared to the 90 collected by the 1957 team, and he anticipated that would be more victories than the Yankees could garner. New York last season won 98 games. Closer Race "This is going to be a closer race,” Comiskey said. “It won’t take as many wins as before to win the pennant. I think we’ll win more games than we did and the Yankees won’t win as many, so I think we can win it." Comiskey believed the White Sox, who made two\ major offseason trades, had improved its pitching staff, which he rated 60 per cent of winning baseball, while “hurting” no'more than one position, center field. "I don't know that we hurt center field,” he said, speaking of the deal sending Larry Doby to i Baltimore, “with Jim Landis and I Bubba Phillips available to play | there. At least we didn’t hurt it ■ defensively.” Pitching Most Important Pitching, Comiskey declared, is far the most important factor in a winning ball club, and he couldn’t see how the Yankees had improved in that department. "That’s the weakest part of their club,” he said, “and added age isn’t going to make (Yogi) Berra or (Hank) Bauer any better “They’re the same in other positions, so they haven't improved . and we have. With us, Detroit and Baltimore winning more games, some of them have to be over the Yankees, so they can't win as many. “And if they don’t, we’ll win the pennant.’’ Last year, Comiskey said, after July, there were two American League races, “two teams for the pennant, and six for die first division. “This year,” he said, “there'll be more teams in the pennant race, and it'll be closer all the, way.’T--~-_— 5 .. r ...i ; Trade in a good town —- Decatur -mm—-

Tar Heels Take Second Place In Conference By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Who said the North Carolina Tar Heels “is dead”? Led by Pete Brennan, a transplanted Brooklynite, the defending national champions vaulted into second place in the tough Atlantic Coast Conference Tuesday night by whipping North Carolina State, 81-69, in their season rubber match before 12,000 fans at Raleigh. The victory carried North Carolina to within a half game of pace-setting Duke in the ACC. State tumbled from second to fourth place while Maryland took over third by downing Virginia, 189-56. The Tar Heels still have a tough row to hoe if they hope to defend their NCAA title- They have conference games remaining with Maryland and Duke, then must win the ACC post-season tournament to qualify for next month’s NCAA shindig. Appear Ready However, based on their latest , victory over N.C. State, Frank | McGuire’s young men now appear I ready and able for “the big I push.” * Maryland, obviously looking | ahead to its weekend dates with Duke and North Carolina, got off to a slow start against Virginia. The Terrapins spotted Virginia the first 10 points but . never looked back after gaining a 17-16 edge at the nine-minute mark. Tennessee climbed back into a tie for second place in the Southeastern Conferece by overpowering Georgia Tech, 84-65. Leon Ammerman scored 26 points for the Vols, who trailed 33-31 at halftime. Jean Lefebvre broke a singlegame school record with a 50point barrage that carried Gonzaga University to- a 75-72 victoryover Whitworth CsJlege. The sev-en-foot, three-inch Parisian scored 20 field goals and 10 free throws in accounting for two-thirds of his team's total points. St- Bonaventure celebrated its acceptace of a bid to the Natioal Invitation Tournament by downing St. Vincent, 86-69, for. its ! 76th home court victory.
