ed by unbeaten Springs Valley, battled for four "charmed circle” positions—the gateway to the Indiana high school basketball championship. It was “D”-day for the underdogs, the small-town teams and other assorted unheralded quintets who wormed their way to victory in two weeks of hectic tourney warfare. This was the big showdown for Princeton and Springs Valley at Evansville, Bluffton at Fort Wayne, Rushville at Indianapolis, and North Judson and Crawfordsville at' Lafayette They were the real underdogs in the semi-state, virtually monopolized for years by big -city powers. Milan four years ago was the last small town to crash through. The Ripley County boys made it to the “state" in 1953 and again the following year when they made it all the way If the form chart hold?. Fort : Wayne's Archers (24-2) and high- ; scoring Kokomo (.23-3), the No. 4i : team, collide for.. the title in the 1 Summit City. South met Bluffton (20-6' in the afternoon while Ko- ' komo tangled with Elkhart (18-B'. ; —Senators Favored 1 East Chicago Washington. No. 7 in the state and with a 17- < game winning /itreak, was the I only other clear-cut choice. The < Senators matched 22-3 records 1 with North Judson after Crawfords- I ville (21-5) and Lafayette (20-6) opened the session at Purdue. Jeffersonville (23-2) was con-

ceded an edge at Evansville on the strength of its No. 6 state ranking against Princeton (17-8) and over the Springs Valley (23-0)-Terre Haute Gerstmeyer (17-7) victor. Springs Valley was the sentimental choice and many downstate observers figured the Blackhawks had a good chance to grab their semi. Their argument was that Valley had to be good to win from Huntingburg and Vincennes to get this farIndianapolis was the most "wideopen” of the four sessions. It wals Rushville (20-5> against four-time state champion Muncie Central (20-6) in the opener, followed by Anderson (19-7) against Madison (18-6). Four Shut Out Only Rushville, North Judson. Princeton and Springs Valley have never gained the state finals. Gerstmeyer and Lafayette were the only 1957 finalists still in the running. The appearance of Lafayette in the third round was no surprise but Gerstmeyer wasn't expected, especially after losing four of five starters from last year’s fine team. Lafayette may not be at full strength. Forward Larry Butz, its top scorer, hobbled on crutches several days this week with a sprained foot and was a doubtful starter. Most of the other teams appeared to be ready to go. All 45,845 seats have been sold out for days. Scalpers were gettmg ilO a seat at least at one center. Every championship game except at Lafayette win be televised. Wisconsin Signs To Meet Notre Dame SOUTH BEND, Ind. (IP! — Notre Dame and Wisconsin will meet at football for the first time in 18 yvars on Oct. 13. 1962. The game will open a three-game series with the second game scheduled for Sept. 28, 1963 and the third for Sept. 26, 1964. The teams last met on Oct. 21, 1944.

Cincinnati Is Defeated By I Kansas State i BY JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer Elgin Baylor’s dramatic 30-foot > shot with two seconds left to play I and Kansas State’s "stopping" of > Oscar Robertson were the highl lights of the NCAA basketball tournament today going into the final rounds of the four regional eliminations. Baylor uncorked the most important basket so far in the court carnival Friday night to give • Seattle a 69-67 victory over San Francisco in the regional at San I I Francisco- ; Robertson, Baylor’s arch-rival for the national scoring cham-’ pionship, fouled out with four minutes left to play in overtime i at Lawrence, Kans., as his Cincinnati team bowed to Kansas : State, 83-80. The defeats of Cin--1 cinnati, and San Francisco, plus , that of West Virginia db Tuesday, complete a clean sweep the teams ranked 1-2-3 in the nation at the end of the regular season. Tonight’s Action 1 Here's the lineup for the regional finals tonight: At Charlotte, N.C.: Temple vs. Dartmouth At Lexington, Ky.: Notre Dame vs. Kentucky At Lawrence, Kans.: Kansas State vs. Oklahoma State At San Francisco: California vs. Seattle. The Charlotte winner will meet the Lexington winner at LouisvHle, Ky-. March 21, forthe eastern NCAA championship; the Lawrence winner will meet the San Francisco winner at the same site the same night for the western title. The following night astern and western champs clash for the national crown. The National Invitation Tournament also resumes today with day and night doubleheaders. In the afternoon, it’s Niagara-Xavier of Ohio (first round) and UtahSt. John’s (quarter - final). At night, it’s Fordham-St. Francis (Pa.) (first round) and St. Bonaventure - St. Joseph's (Pa.) (quarter-final). South Dakota Takes Crown The first national champion was crowned Friday night at EvanSYiUe,..Jn^„ i When South Dakota, led by points, whipped St- Michael's of ( Vermont, 75-53, in the finals of the NCAA small college tournament. But that easy win was over- ; shadowed by the dramatics in the major-college show as Baylor led his team to victory and Robertson failed. Robertson, with 30 points against Baylor’s 35, retained the national scoring lead, 'however, with a 34.37 average to Baylor’s 33.68. Hdre’s how Friday night’s games went: At Charlotte Temple nipped Maryland, 71-67, and Dartmouth's Ivy League- champs ousted Manhatten, 79-62, a surprisingly easy win over the team that eliminated regular seasen champion West Virginia. .

Cunningham Is Posing Problem For Cardinals BY i FRED DOWN United Press Bportte Writer Jersey Joe Cunningham, who’s got a quip for almost any question, is posing a beauty for St. Louis . Cardinal manager Fred Hutchinson: How do you keep a guy hitting .467 out of the starting lineup? Hutchinson’s early spring plans called for the 27-year old Cunningham to fill in tor Stan Musial at first base, do heavy pinchhitting duty and play the outfield when Del Ennis, Ken Boyer or Wally Moon is injured. Used in Ithat manner last season Cunning- ‘ ham hit .318 and his sensational pinch - hitting made him “the Dusty Rhodes of 1957.” But the 180-pound Cunningham, a native of Saddle River Twp., N.J., isn’t satisfied with that role and insisted at the start of spring training that he’s going to hi his way into the lineup. Lives Up To Word Joe’s been as good as his word so far with seven hits in 15 at bats and 13 runs batted-in in theo Cardinals’ seven games He drove in four tallies with a 3-for--4 outburst Friday when the Redbirds whipped the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-5, and raised their spring record to five wins and two defeats. The world champion Milwaukee Braves and American League champion New York Yankees, meanwhile, indicated they're about ready to shake off their early spring doldrums. Hie Braves squared their record at 3-3 with an 8-1 conquest of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Yankees won their second game in seven tries when they beat the Cincinnati Redlegs, 5-1. Three Errors For Phils Warren Span, Bob Rush and Juan Pizarro teamed up in a four-hitter for the Braves who were aided by three Philadelphia errors. Both Spahn and Rush pitched one-hit ball for three innings—each extending his shutout string to six innings for the spring—and Pizarro yielded two including Harry Anderson’s second Grapefruit League homer. Don Larson turned in the best pitching job by a Yankee this spring when he yielded only two hits in a five-inning job and Bob Grimm and Mark Freeman finished up. Casey Stengel, irked at the Yankees' poor spring form, used regulars Gil McDougald, Hank Bauer and BUI Skowron. Mickey Mantle went hitless in four tries and his average dipped to .188. — - The Detroit Tigers snapped the Boston Red Sox’ four-game winning streak with an 11-8 decision: the Kansas City Athletics scored all their runs in the first inning and .whipped the Washington Senators, 5-1, the San Francisco Giants beat the Cleveland Indians, 7-2, for their fourth win in five games, and the Baltimore Orioles downed the Chicago Cubs 7-6, in other games.
