23 Champions Favorites To • ♦_ Retain Titles it . • By KURT FREUDENTHAL f United Press Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS <UP) — The f word ‘'favorite" —used cautiously in Indiana high school basketball —was pinned today on 23 defendf ing sectional champs in the 48th annual tourney which opens £ Wednesday with a field of 729A United Press sectional-by-sec-tional survey lists 16 other firstround defending champions as "rank outsiders,” while the remaining 25 are in the ’touch-and--1 go" bracket. The latter points up the fact that this year s four-week specI taele probably will be more un- ’ predictable than those of the past i few years, presumably because : more good outfits are ready to > shoot the works for Hoosierland’s No. 1 sports prize. : TTie favorites include Kendall- ■ ville at Avilla, Bedford, Crawfordsville, Fort Wayne South, Ot- , terbein at Fowler, Garrett, Greencastle, Lafayette, Logansport, Marion, Michigan City, Monticello, Muncie Central, Princeton, Richmond, Rushville, Seymour, Valparaiso. Versailles, Wabash, Washington, and Winchester. Gerstmeyer Underdog Defending sectional champs who are underdogs this time are Connersville at Brookville, Tangier at Clinton, Richland Twp. at Covington, Hammond Noll at East Chicago, Colfax at Frankfort, Jasper at Huntin gburg, Huntington. Clarksville Providence at JeffersonvUle, Delphi at Kokomo, Lynnville,’ Marengo at New Albany. Solsberry at Switz City, Pierceton at Syracuse, Gerstmeyer at Terre . Haute, Sandborn at Vincennes, and Thorntown at Zionsville. Give or take a little, it’s a toss-up for Hartford Center at Adams Central, Elwood at Anderson, Martinsville at Bloomington, Bluffton, North Salem at Brownsburg, Southport at Center Grove, Columbus, Aurora at Dillsboro. Elkhart, Evansville Lincoln, Gary Roosevelt, Jackson Twp. at Greensburg, New Palestine at Greenfield, Hartford Cttty, Indianapolis Attacks, Rensselaer at Kentland, North Judson at Knox, New Castle, Noblesville, Peru, Plymouth. Madison at Scottsburg, South Bend Central, Sullivan, and Dale. New Champs Possible Thus, only one 1957 state tourney finalist—Lafayette—was a solid favorite in the first round. Gerstmeyer isn’t in the same class with Terre Haute Garfield, South Bend 'Central's defending ” state champs are weakened by ,the IMS', of Sylvester Coalmon, their No. 1 player, and Attacks presumably must lick Tech’s eastsiders to stay alive. Only 26 of the 1956 sectional champs managed to repeat a year ago and half a dozen brand-new first-round titlists were crowned, among them Hammond Noll and Elwood, this year’s Central Conference king.’Elwood has at least a 50-50 chance at Anderson, but Noll isn’t given much chance at East Chicago Undoubtedly, a few small-town, first-time sectional winners will be crowned Saturday night when the field is cut to 64 regional hopefuls, giving them the thrill of outlasting bigger foes in this singleclass championship. Top candidates include Springs Valley of French Lick and Etna Green, two of three unbeatens in the field. Commodore Tickets On Sole Tonight The Rev. Robert Jaeger, athletic director of Decatur Catholic high school, announced today that tickets are still available at the school for the Wednesday night session of the sectional tourney. The tickets will be on sale at 7 o’clock this evening at the office of Coach Al Lindahl. The Commodores play the Pleasant Mills Spartans in the tourney opener at 8 p.m. Wednesday.

Kansas State Rated As Tops For Third Week NEW YORK (UP)— Kansas State topped the United Press major college basketball ratings today for the third week In a row, but if the Wildcats falter, thirdranked Cincinnati faces an excellent opportunity to muscle its way to the national championship. Among Kansas State’s three persistent pursuers for the title, Cincinnati faces by far the toughest schedule during the two remaining weeks of the regular season. Second-ranked West Virginia and fourth-ranked San Francisco have comparatively easy opponents left to be played. Should Kansas State (18-1) be upset in any of its four remaining games against Big Eight Conference rivals, Cincinnati can stake a strong claim for the national championship by beating St. Louis, Wichita and two backyard foes, Dayton and Xavier of Ohio. Victories over these four would give the Bearcats a 24-2 season record. Irish Move Up Kansas State’s toughest test shapes up as the regular-season finale against Wilt Chamberlainled Kansas West Virginia (22-1) has only George Washington on its regular slate before competing in the Southern Conference Tournament which it will be favored to win. San Francisco (21-1) has three games remaining against mediocre California Basketball Association rivals. Twenty-four of the 35 leading coaches who comprise the United Press Rating Board picked Kansas State No. 1 this week. Five voted for West Virginia, three for Cincinnati, two for San Francisco, and one for Notre. Dame, which made the top 10 group for the first time this season. The Wildcats’ first-place margin was only slightly altered from last week, declining from 54 to 52 points over West Virginia. Points are awarded on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis for votes from first to 10th places. Runners-up Bunched Only nine points separated the second, third and fourth-ranked teams in the closest four-club race in the eight-year history of the United Press ratings. “ .1 After San Francisco in this week’s ratings came Temple, Duke, Kansas, Michigan State, North Carolina State and Notre Dame. The Irish advanced from 13th place, replacing Oklahoma State in the select group. ‘Die coaches based their ratings bn games played through Saturday, Feb- 22. Duke (16-5) made the biggest jump of the week among the lead-1 ers, moving from ninth to sixth | place. Temple, with a 20-2 record ; and a 19-game winning streak, ad-I vanced one notch to No. 5, and Michigan State (15-4) went up two places to No. 8. North Carolina, last season’s NCAA champion, advanced from ; 14th to 11th to head the second 10 group. Trade in a good town — Decatur
