Springs Valley Is Sentimental Fans' Favorite INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-If another “Milan" makes Indiana high school basketball tourpey history this year. Springs Valley is the sentimental favorite. Although considerably larger than the Ripley County school which won the crown four years ago. the brand-new conolidated school at French Lick earned plaudits all around the state by zipping through its first season without a scratch The Blackhawks hope to become the third team in as many years to gain the state finals with a perfect record. They face an uphill battle in the southern semistate at Evansville Saturday, j- — Favored Jeffersonville clashes with Princeton in the opener and Springs Valley meets defending semi - state titlist Terre Haute Gerstmeyer in the second game. Except for scouting reports, they’re all strangers. Springs Valley, formed from French Lick and West Baden, gave the season-long “elite’ its first shocker by rolling over Huntingburg in the sectionals, 64-41. Coach Rex his team’s “best perfdlSfeajjjß.’' “Flawless Operation” The Blackhawks took only 43 shots, hitting 23 of them. Marvin Pruett, a junior, and slick Bob McCracken did most of the damage. “It was one of the most flawless tournament operations since mighty Milan cut Muncie Central down to size in the 1954 state finals," said one veteran downstate observer. Springs Valley had to scrap hard to down strong Vincennnes for the Huntingburg regional title, 62-59 in overtime. Gerstmeyer, 17-7. was kicked out of the Wabash VaHey tourney last January in its first game but the Black Cats found themselves to upset Terre Haute Garfield in the sectional, then swept through the Martinsville regional. Charlie Hall, a 6-6 shooer and perhaps the best center in the l state, is Howard Sharpe’s only holdover from last year. Gerstmeyer made it to the state finals four out of the last five years but I

is still looking for the big one Jeff Explosive Jeffersonville’s South Central Conference champions, No. 6 and with a 23-2 mark, apparently have their best club since 1935 when they rolled unbeaten into the championship game only to be sawed off by Anderson, 23-17. It’s a typical, fast-breaking outfit built around Bill Johnson Jr., son of Jeff’s athletic advisor and 6-3 sophomore Charles (Cotton) ■ Nash, under the first-year reign ) of former pro star Cliff Barker. ’ Jeffersonville compiled the sec- ■ ond-best offensive record in the "Sweet 16" and was not seriously ’ threatened in the first two tourney 1 rounds. Not so Princeton, 17-8 and like Springs Valley never in the finals. ‘ The Tigers won over Dale in the Evansville regional, 55-53, on a 1 last-second fielder by 6-2 Paul Cloin. Little Joe Decker and Dave Mauck are chiefly responsible for a late-season splurge that has carried the Tigers to 15 victories in their 16 games. New Pitching Problems Joy For Tebbetts By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Manager Birdie Tebbetts of the Cincinnati Redlegs has a new pitching problem this spring—his hurlers all look good. It’s a mighty big change for the pennant-conscious Tebbetts, who last season tore out his hair while inept pitching tore the hearts out of his sluggers. The team finally collapsed in August and was lucky to finish fourth with a staff whose .462 earned-run average was the worst in the National League. But the industrious Cincinnati front office gave Birdie seven new hurlers and a staff totaling 21 flingers this spring. Harvey Haddix, obtained from the Philadelphia Phillies, and Bob Purkey. acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates, provided Tebbetts i with reason fbr hope Monday with fine performances’in a 5-3 victory over the Kansas City Athletics. Earlier, Bill Wight and Jerry Cade, also newcomers to the’staff, turned in strong exhibition performances. Third Loss for Yankees The Boston Red Sox joined the fun at the expense of the New York Yankees when they whipped the American League champions, 8-5 It was the third straight’loss for the Yankees, who also saw rookie sensation Deron Johnson strike out three times and go O-for-5. The Philadelpia Phillies routed the St. Louis Cardinals, 18-8; the Washington Senators scored a 7-4 victory over the Pirates; the Chicago. White Sox edged put the Detroit Tigers, 5-4, in 10 innings; and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Milwaukee Braves, 7-5, in other exhibitions. Other teams were not scheduled. The Phillies’ Willie Jones had 'three hits and drove in two runs. had three walks and a rookie Chuck Essegian singled and walked as a pinch-hitter. Misses Tag The White Sox scored their winning run when Detroit catcher Tim Thompson missed a tag play at the plate. Albie Pearson, the 5-foot, 5% inch Yookie, doubled home two runs off Bob Friend and singled home a pair off Ron Kline to lead the Senators to their first victory of the spring;— —-•--- The Dodgers rallied for four runs in the eighth inning at the expense of 20-year old rookie Claude Raymond after two other Milwaukee youngsters — Ray Rippelmeyer and Dale Hendrickson — allowed only two runners to reach base in the first five frames. Other camp news: Vic Wertz suffered painful injury to big toe when hit with foul ball during practice. Willie Mays scheduled to make spring debut for San Francisco vs. Cubs today.

West Virginia . Team Rated As 9 Net Champion NEW YORK (UP)- West Virginia, with a remarkable 26-1 record this season, Tuesday was chosen as the 1957-58 National college basketball champion by the United .Press Board of Coaches. Coach Fred Schaus’ Mountaineers, so lightly regarded in the pre-season forecast that they were not even picked to finish among the top 20 teams, barely edged Cincinnati for top honors in the closst race since the United Press ratings were initiated in 1950. San Francisco was a not-too-distant third and Kansas State, which topped the ratings for the four previous weeks only to falter with two defeats last week, was placed fourth by the 35 leading coaches who comprise the United Press rating board. Three-Point Margin West Virginia’s final margin over Cincinnati was only three points, 300 to 297. Twelve members of the 35-man board of coaches, whose ratings have become recognized as the most authoritative in college basketball, made West Virginia their No. 1 choice; 11 voted for Cincinnati. San Francisco attracted six first-place votes; Kansas State had four; and fifth-ranked Temple and seventh-ranked Notre Dame had one each. West Virginia's greatest assets were a six-foot-10 center, a spectacular sophomore and the sound coaching of Schaus. Lloyd Sharrar was the beanpole center who supplied the Mountaineers with the necessary rebounding strength. Jerry West, the sophomore flash, led the team in scoring with an 18.1-point average. And Schaus, a former professional star in his fourth year of college coaching, developed a well-integrated ball club that proved at its best under pressure. West Virginia suffered its only defeat of the season, against Duke, 72-68 Qualify for Tourney Schaus’ men qualified for the
