53 Sectionals Get Underway In State Today INDIANAPOLIS (UP)— Indiana’s high school basketball sectional tourneys, with the "little fellows" out to steal the thunder from the city "big shots,” opened at 53 of the 64 sites today before capacity crowds. It was the beginning Os the annual 4-week “Hoosier Hoopla,” Indiana's No. 1 sports spectacle in carnival atmosphere, with 729 first-round contenders. The big field will be chopped to the 64. sectional champs Saturday night and three subsequent I Saturdays will be climaxed with the crooning of the king 'ut Butler Fieldhouse here March 22. The schedule called for 155 games today, all but 24 at night; 156 Thursday, 162 Friday and 192 Saturday. Twenty-four 1957 sectional winners put their titles "on the line in initial scraps, among them Lafayette's Broncos, state finalists last March who have monopol-, ized their first round the past 14; years. Lafayette, which opens against | Monitor tonight, also has more overall sectional titles than any, other school—34. Vincennes and j Logansport have 33. Garfield After Second Crown • Terre Haute Garfield. Fort Wayne Central and Kokomo, aU. season-long front-runners, also get their feet wet in initial tourney play today. Fort Wayne South and South Bend Central, the top favorite and the defending state champion, respectively; have another day’s grace. Garfield. No. 2 in the United Press coaches' poll, inaugurates Terre Haute sectional play against Fonjanet tonight. The Purple Eagles hope to become the first team to win the Wabash Valley tourney crown and the state title in one season. - They lost only twice during the season.

South-, ern Conference champion Huntingburg, No. 16, also opens tonight—against Otwell Although season - long powerwhen they hand out the hardware, the field includes many smalltown crews that will "go for broke" in an effort to derail their touted adversaries. Leading the list are the three unbeatens—Springs Valley at Hun-( tmgburg, Brookville and Etna ■ - Green at Syracuse. The latter is . the state's winningest quintet with a 22-game winning string. None open today. More “People's Choices” At least five other teams lost but once during the season—South 3end St Joseph. Middlebury at, Elkhart. Harrison at Muncie. Tra-; falgar at Center Grove, and Waldron at Columbus. They were u.uong the leading "people's! choices.” How far they will advance re-1 mains to be seen, but it is a good ),, bet some of them will give the i, dope bucket a swift kick before they are swept away themselves in the rush toward the crown.

Duke Is Upset By Virginia In Overtime By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sport* Writer Kansas State and San Francisco waltzed into the NCAA Basketball Tournament today while Duke paid the price for underestimating one of its lowly “cousins" in the Atlantic (Coast Conference. Led by big Bob Boozer’s 23 points, top-ranked Kansas State clinched the Big Eight Conference championship Tuesday night by whipping Oklahoma, 68-51, and the third-ranked Dons wrapped up the West Coast Conference crown by sneaking past St. Mary’s (Calif,), 49-47 Duke, obviously looking ahead to its crucial game with North Carolina Friday night, dropped a 76-68 verdict to Virginia in the third overtime period. It was one of the season’s biggest upsets and prevented Duke from clinching at least a share of the ACC regularseason championship. The Blue Devils and North Carolina will carry identical 16-3 conference records into Friday’s showdown at Chapel Hill, N.C., but the winner will not move into the NCAA championship. The ACC representative will be determined next week in a post-season tournament at Raleigh. Cavaliers Hang On Virginia wasn't given much of a chance against Duke, having won bnly eight of 26 previous contests. However, the Cavaliers opened a 29-26 lead at halftime I and hung on to fmish the regulation game in a 60-60 deadlock. Then center Herb Busch took over I for Virginia in overtime. ! Held scoreless during regulation ' time, Busch dropped in a field •goal to send the game into its • second extra session and added ( the decisive basket in the third overtiihe. Although Oklahoma used two de- j fenders against Boozer, the six-foot-eight forward turned in one of his better games. Wildcat center Jack Parr; playing despite a slightly sprained ankle, scored 17 points and handled most of the rebound work Kansas State coach Tex Winter admitted after the clinching victory that "If anybody -had said at the start of the season that we'd have the conference crown sewed up with three games'to play, I would have told him to have his head State now has a 9-6 conference t record and a 19-L overall mark. (The Wildcats will play the Misj souri Valley Conference champion I <probably Cincinnati*, in the second round of the NCAA Midwest! regional playoffs' at Lawrence. ..Kan.. March 14. San Francisco received quite a scare against St. Mary's. The Gaels gained a 26-23 adv anage at halftime but San Francisco finally knotted the score at 44-all late in the contest and. led by Art Day’s 20 points, the Dons pulled the game out of the fire. ’G) > Baylor in Exhibition Seattle, which accepted a bid to) ) the NCAA Tournament earlier in I 'the day. rolled to a 94-77 victory 4he-But-han_BakcrSx_formeL AAU champions. Elgin Baylor, the nation's leading scorer, made 17 points for Seattle but they will not be added to his season total because the game was considered an "exhibition’ under NCAA rules. I Bowling Green, a candidate for • ! the National Invitation Tourna- • ment. rallied in the second half i ‘to edge Loyola of Chicago, 65-63 j and Holy Cross defeated NCAAI bound Connecticut, 92-89, in dou-; )ble overtime.

Predicted Mail Rate Hike To Pass Senate Pay Increase For Postal Employes Included In Bill WASHINGTON (W — Sen. A. S Mike Monroney predicted today the Senate will approve higher postal rates and pay raises for postal employes by nightfall after a “big fight” on a key provision. The Oklahoma Democrat said there probably would be a “fairly close” vote on his amendment to knock out a proposed five-cent stamp for out-of-town letters. “If the Republicans all stand together," he admitted, “we can lose." Monroney, a member of the Senate Post Office Committee, is a I leader in the fight to hold any postal raise to a four-cent stamp for both local and out-of-town first class mail. It now requires a threecent stamp. He expected the support of all but a handful of Democrats. Tack on Pay Raise Once details of the rate bill have been thrashed out a move is slated to tack on a committee-approv-ed measure providing a per cent 320 million dollar annual pay raise for some 500,000 postal employes. Monroney predicted an expected move by Sen. Frank Carlson (RKan.) to eliminate, a $2lO cost-of-living bonus for low-scale employes would be "beaten overwhelmingly.” • voiced certainty the Senate would vote to tie the pav and rate raises together. -He said it also was possible, approval might come by nightfall on another bill to raise the pay of about a million “white collar" civil service workers by 7*4 per cent. The civil seryicc measure was scheduled for consideration after the postal bill is disposed of. The House Post Office Commlt- ■ '
