Tourney Field To Be Reduced TOl6 Quintets INDIANAPOLIS ' (UP) — The underdogs far outnumbered the favorites vxiay as Indiana’s 48th annual high school basketball tourney reached the regional level with "Sweet 16” berths going to tonight’s winners. Fort Wayne South, Kokomo, Jeffersonville, East Chicago Washington and Indianapolis Attacks—they were the top teams of the final United Press coaches’ poll still alive. Fifty-nine other first round winners figured to make a fight of it as the four-week grind reached the half-way point. No more than half a dozen quintets, led by top-ranking South and high-scoring Kokomo, were solid favorites. The sentimental choices were led by the three unbeatens — Etna Green, Brookville and Springs Valley. The latter, conqueror of Huntingburg’s Southern Conference champions a week ago, appeared to have the best chance to add a regional crown to its first sectional titleThe Top tlash The top clash of the afternoon round matched East Chicago Wasnington. No. 7. against 11thrated Michigan City. Together tney own a 31-game winning streak and Washington’s Senators sought revenge for an early-seas-on beating by the Red Devils <sf firsky ear coach Doug Adams. There were many other top afternoon games, among them Madison-Shelbyville at Columbus, Valparaiso-Gary Froebel at East Chicago, Etna Green-South Bend Adams at Elkhart, Evansville Cen-tral-Princeton at Evansville, Wash-ington-Vincennes at Huntingburg, Jeffersonville-Bedford at Jeffersonville. Also, Kokomo-Noblesville at Ko komo, Lafayette-Otterbein at Lafayette, Monticello-Royal Center at Logansport, Linton-Terre Haute Gerstmeyer at Martinsville, and Rushville-Brookville at Rushville. Noblesville,. Seymour at Jeffersonville and Monticello were defending regional champions whose titles appeared to be in immediate jeopardy. Three Finalists Ready Three of last year’s state tourney finalists still had high hopes of repeating — Attacks. Gerstmeyer and Lafayette. Attacks, two-time champion and runner-up last year, was a topheavy choice in the first afternoon here against Charlottesville and was expected to tangle with Anderson for the fourth time in ..regional warfare— Attacks JMfln~alL three previous engagements. South Bend Central’s defending state champions, ranked fifth in the state, and such other powerhouses as Tetre Haute Garfield, Fort Wayne Central and Indianapolis Tech were eliminated in the sectionals. If last week’s first round is a criterion, the upset wave will continue today, making this one of the most unpredictable tournaments in recent years. The normal lull in ticket sales hit the sectionals. The biggest drops were reported at Butler Fieldhouse here and at Fori Wayne Butler Friday reported 8 000 seats still vacant—more than half—and Fort Wayne expected only two-thirds of the Coliseum wqi ild be sold out. Purdue s fieldhouse also had seats going begging as Lafahette’s Broncos prepared to defend their regional crown.

Big Ten Working On Grid Schedules CHAMPAIGN, 111. (UP)—The Big Ten was expected to close its joint meeting of athletic directors and faculty representatives today with the completed football schedules for 1962 -63 and details polished up for a slightly revised financial aid plan. Athletic d,i rec tors reported "progress” on the future gridiron slates and estimated that they would finish their work today. They went to work Thursday after conference officials vetoed a plan to up the number of conference games from nine to 10. The athletic directors were given sole authority to make the schedules, when the faculty voted to strip football coaches of the , job. The financial aid revision came in a vote to make it easier on prospective athletes from lower I income families. The officials voted to approve . an amendment to the conference | , rule on financial aid which would / permit lower income groups to make smaller contributions to keep an athlete in school. r —The change would presumably eliminate any contribution from • families earning $5,000 a year or I less It was estimates! that about . 25 per cent of the athletes comd ■ ing under the plan would be as- ■ fected. The change was expectd ■ to cost‘each conference member • about $2,500 annually. The faculty representatives spOttd two loopholes in the current ■ rule limiting competition to four i years and immediately took steps . to plug them. They learned that the present 1 regulation did not prevent a stu- ■ dent from dropping out of school ■ and returning later to complete > eight semesters. The other gap i would permit corruption of a stui dent’s normal program by enterL ing at midyear — . It was believed the eligibility committee would change the rule making it mandatory that the eight semestere of eligibility be consecutive, thus preventing an athlete from dropping out of school in order to gain another season of eligibility. Both the directors and the facultydiscussed problems of re- ' cruitirig, but reported there was little or no sentiment to alter the current regulaions on he subject.

Grapefruit League Season Is Underway By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer The Grapefruit League baseball season opens today, but the Cleve-" land Indians must wait another 48 hours before taking that longawaited look at Herb Scene back on the firing line. The 24-year old strikeout king, suffered a sprained right ankle Friday when he slipped on a slick spot on a YMCA track at Tucson, Ariz. The Indians had been chased indoors by foul weather. Trainer Wally Bock, who examined the ankle, said he did not consider the injury serious and added, "in all probability he will be ready to resume full-scale workouts on Monday.” Score, nearly blinded last May 7 when hit by a batted ball, had been impressive in early workouts. Cleveland - San Francisco meeting is one of the, features Os the opening- Grapefruit L3s;ue card which also includes Chicago (ND vs. Baltimore at Scottsdale: Cincinnati vs- Chicago (AL) at Tampa; Los Angeles vs. Philadelphia at Miami (night); Milwaukeekee vs. Detroit at Lakeland; Pittsburgh vs. Boston at Sarasota; St. Louis vs. New York at St. Petersburg and- Washington vs. Kansas City at West Palm Beach. Today’s program begins a schedule of some 300 games leaching up to Sunday, April 13 — and, then, of course, the grand season openers. There will experiments in the openers and throughout the entire spring program but three of the most important involve Tony Kubek, Billy Martin and Eddie Kasko — all trying to make good aS regular shortstop. All will be unveiled at that new position today. Kubek, rookie of the year in-the AL last season, is teaming with Gil McDougald (shifted from short to second) to form a new Yankee keystone combination. Martin, Detroit’s big winter acquisition, is being counted on to make the Tigers a strong contender- Kasko takes over at short for the Cardinals, forcing sloweddown Alvin Dark to third base. I

North Carolina vs. Maryland in the final round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. West Virginia vs. William and Mary in the final round of the Southern Conference tournament. Playoff Decisive The right combination of results also could settle the title races in the Skyline and Pacific Coast Conferences and give tournament bids to those new champions.
