— -._ - t -.« ._■.-- ... _ 64 Sectional Champs To Be Named Tonight INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Three small-town unbeatens and several other “people’s choices’’ tangled with the powerhouses today with 64 sectional fitles at stake in Indiana's 48th annual high school basketball tourney. Round one of the four - week “Hoosier Madness" grinds to a halt tonight, leaving 665 teams on the ropes. The winners have a week to catch their breath before hitting the 16 regionals. v Only 1957 state champion South Bend Central and Indianapolis Tech were missing from the United Press “Big W.” Twenty-four-game winner Etna Green appears to have the best chance to register its first s*Cr tional triumph. The Greyhounds faced Claypool in the afternoon round at Syracuse. Twenty-two-game winner Brookville hopes to capture its own meet but Springs Valley, the other undefeated quintet, faced an uphill battle at Huntingburg. The Blackhawks won from Dubois in the final 25 seconds Friday, 6359, for their 19th in a row and took on Ireland next If they win, they’ll probably collide with highly - touted Southern Conference champion Huntingburg at night. Garfield vs Tech Afternoon features include topranking Fort Wayne South against Fort Wayne Central, No. 3; Terre Haute Garfield, No. 2, against 1957 state finalist and city foe Gerstmeyer; Gary Roosevelt vs Calumet, East Chicago Washington, No. 7, vs Hammond Noll, 1957 state runner-up Indianapolis Attacks vs Scecina of the Capital City, and Columbus vs oncebeaten Waldron. Also still alive among the smalltown elite were Trafalgar at Center Grove, Otterbein at Fowler, Harrison at Muncie, and South Bend St. Joseph, all beaten only once during the season. Four days of firing eliminated only 18 defending sectional champions. 10 of them Friday. They were Jasper by host Huntingburg, 67-53; Kendallville at Avilla, New Palestine at Greenfield. Tangier at Clinton, Sandborn at Vincennes, Lynnville, Sullivan. North Salem at Brownsburg, Solsberry at Swite City, and Southport at Center Grove. Jasper and Southport also were defending regional titlists. Attacks Whips Tech Fort Wayne South was out to make it three straight this year over Central's Tigers. South dumped New Haven Friday, 6753. behind big Mike McCoy’s 23 points, and Central crushed Lafayette Central, 63-44. Garfield mauled Terre Haute Wiley, 63-43, as Terry Dischinger arid Bobby Kerht combined for 45 points Gerstmeyer avenged a onepoint upset by Concannon in the Wabash Valley tourney with a 7067 victory decided in the final seconds on baskets by Steve Newton and Ray Goddard . Attacks continued its mastery over Indianapolis Tech in state tourney play with a 61-50 victory. The Flying Tigers, seeking their third state title in four_years, led at all stops. The' two city foes split even during the season but Tech hasn't beaten Attacks since 1953 when it gained the state finals. Attacks ranks No. 8 in the state, one notch ahead of Tech. Kokomo’s fourth - rated North Central Conference champs and Jeffersonville, No. 6. also dis-

ENGINEERING (Continued from pwga one) large conference room, so constructed that it may be reduced to two offices, if the space is needed in the future. South of the conference room is the private office of Norman F. Kruse, vice-president and technical director. Other technical directors have their offices on the east side so the hallway, while the heating plant and vault are on the west side. At the south end of the building, near Second street, is the technical department room, which is divided into working cubicles for each individual. On the east side of the room is the library and conference room for the group. Ample room is there for expansion of the staff. North from the lobby are the offices of the engineering director and his assistants on th<* east side of the building, while on the west side of the hallway is the blue-print arid reproduction room, in stainless The north department room houses the cubicles of the engineering department, with drawing desks and office desks side by side. As in the south department room, the floor-plan allows controlled traffic flow for better working conditions, and personal privacy. The large windows are of sol-ar-resistant plate glass, and can be covered by large drapes in the summer to facilitate the air conditioning system. The building has a deep, pantype steel roof that eliminates posts, allowing full floor space. W. A. Darling and associates, of Fort Wayne, designed the building, and the Bultemeier Construction company of Decatur build it. The old sugar company office \wiU be abandoned, and torn -down to make way for expansion of opentype storage silos in the future.

Coming Attractions At Adams Theater “Don’t Go Near the Water” the hilarious Technicolor comedy coming to the Adams Sunday and Monday has been called by Groucho Marx, “the funniest picture I have ever seen.” Starring Glenn Ford, the production tells the uproarious story of a group Navy South Pacific public relations officers. Included in the large cast are Gia Scala, beautiful newcomer, Anne Francis, Keenan Wynn, Earl Holliman, Eva Gabor and Russ Tam- ‘ blyn. The second great hit of the week at the Adams in the lavish Technicolor musical comedy, “Les Girls” playing Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. With a score by Cole Porter, the picture, the title of which rhymes with “play girls”, i includes Gene Kelley, Mitzi Gay- ! nor and Kay Kendall, seven new i song hits and 20 strikingly beautiful girls. Starting Friday for four days the Adams will present the sensational production. “Sayornara.” DIVERS (Continued from page one) open the back door. I jumped out and sWam to shore. Then I’ went back and helped two boys out.” There were other heroes—lsaac Vanderpool, 17, Emma, Ky., and Claude Kendrick, 15. Buffalo, Ky, who were aboard the bus, and Donald Horn, driver of a towtruck with which the bus collided before its plunge over the cliff. Vanderpool got out of the emergency door, swam to the river bank and then returned to help others out of the bus. He got one girl out and helped her to the bank. He returned again to the bus. “I saw a little girl’s arm reaching through a window. I caught hold of her. But the bus submerged before I could get her out,” he said. Children Scream Kendrick said the children were “screaming and hollering” when the bus careened down the cliff. “I knew the only way out was through the back door an d I climbed over several seats to get to it,” he said. “I think everyone in front of me got out, but I don’t know for sure. “After I swam ashore, I heard others hollering for help and I went back and got two of them— Janice Blackburn and Louanis Jarvis—but my two buddies are still in there ” Horn made his way down the cliffside after the collision and helped several children crawl out before, the bus disappeared under the water. Death Cries ’Pathetic' He said the cries of the trapped children were “pathetic.” Horn said he was preparing to pull a pickup truck out of a ditch along Route 23, about three miles south of here, when he noticed the bus behind his wrecker. He said he signaled the bus driver he was going to pull off onto the right shoulder. He had come almost to a halt, he said, when the bus collided with the back of the wrecker and the pickifj truck, shot across the road and plunged over the cliff. The bus driver, John Derossett, 22, described by school officials as “one of our best drivers,’* wrestled in vain with his steering wheel. Survivors said he made no effort to save himself after the plunge. ' Trade in a good town — Deotku

Tourney Bids At Stake In College Games By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer ; Three conference championships —the Southeastern, Missouri Valley and Ivy—and four tournament berths may be settled by basketball action tonight. Kentucky can nail down its second straight Southeastern crown by trimming Tennessee at Knoxville, Tenn. But an upset here would force the race to end tn a tie between Kentucky and Auburn and give the league crown to Auburn by virtue of its 64-63 win over Kentucky last Monday. No tourney berth is at stake in this big one, because Auburn is ineligible and Kentucky already has clinched that NCAA bid. But the Cincinnati - Wichita game tonight could result in no less than three tourney bids. Oscar Robertson and his Cincinnati mates will nail down the Missouri Valley crown if they win this one and with it a berth in the NCAA tournament. NTT Bids Possible Once that’s settled, there's a very strong chance that conference also-rans Bradley and St. Louis will be given bids to the National Invitation TournamentDartmouth can clinch the Ivy League championship by beating Pennsylvania tonight at Hanover, N. H. The Indians lead Penn by one game with two to Play. A "member at large” berth in the NCAA tournament is waiting and will be offered to the Ivy League champion. In addition, both Southern Methodist and California can clinch at least a tie for their respective league championships tonight. SMU. with an 8-4 record and two games to play, has a onegame lead over three teams. The Mustangs can finish in no worse than a tie for the crown if they beat Texas A&M tonight. California, with a 12-2 league record and two games left, can finish in no worse than a tie for the Pacific foast Conference championship if «it beats Idaho tonight. If California wins the run-ner-up Oregon State loses to Southern California, then California will clinch »the league crown outright. Duke Clinches Crown Duke clinched the regular season crown in the Atlantic Coast Conference by trouncing defending champion North Carolina, 5946, at Durham, N. C. The two teams had been tied for the league lead going into this one, but no tournament berth was at stake. The ACC spot in the NCAA tournament will go to the team winning the league tournament next weekDuke won by holding North Carolina star Pete Brennan to just 10 points by a double - teaming defense. Duke, playing with five players all the way, moved to a 26-23 halftime lead and then put the game on ice by pulling out to a 44-33 margin with 10 minutes left. Bob Vernon led the Duke scoring with 16 points. . Elgin Baylor of Seattle regained the national scoring lead by scoring 51 points in a 94-60 victory over Pacific Lutheran. Baylor now has a 34.55 points per game average to 34.43 for Robertson of Cincinnati. The Ivy League race saw all three top contenders stumble Friday night. Dartmouth, with a chance to take a firm grip on the chase, was upset, 53-46, by Princeton. However, second-place Pennsylvania dropped a 84-69 decision to Harvard and third-place Yale lost a 59-57 squeaker to Cornell. Word Received Os J. D. Sarig's Death Friends here have received word of the death last January of J. D. Sarig of Muncie, former Decatur high school principal. In recent years Mr. Sarig had been a tax consultant. Funeral services and burial were held in Muncie. BANK (Continued from page one) safe. “They hit us right at our lunchtime peak when we were loaded a little more than normally with cash,” Wilhelm said. “They were foolish to do it at a time when so many people could see them. I’m sure they will be apprehended.” - . , It was the bank’s second holdup in little more than two years. In November, 1955, the bank was robbed of 812,000.
