Sectional Tourney On Daylight Time, > Two-Bracket Plan Herman Frantz, Adams Central high school principal and sectional tourney manager, has received word from the Indiana high school athletic association that his request to operate the local sectional on daylight time has been approved. Last year, all state tourneys were forced to operate under standard time, which* made starting times at Adams Central one hour later than previously.

No games will be played Friday, Feb. 27, with semi-final and final games Saturday afternoon and night. This plan has been in operation at the sectional for several years, and affords more fans an opportunity to see their own teams in action. Armstead Wins On Disputed Decision HOLLYWOOD (UPD — Paulie Armstead, winner of a disputed split decision over youthful Len Matthews of Philadelphia, today looked forward to a possible bout with top-ranked Kenny Lane and a long step upwards in the lightweight ranks. The Los Angeles battler's victory in the nationally televised 10 round bout at Hollywood Legion Stadium drew bitter protests from Tony Graziano, manager of Matthews, but matchmaker Jackie Leonard said he would try to get Lane for Armstead next month. “We were robbed, jobbed and cheated," Graziano roared after Friday night's fight. “We would like to meet Armstead again anywhere except in the Los Angeles area." Graziano voiced his fire especially at referee Jimmie Wilson, accusing him of signaling his card to ringsiders before the decision. was announced. State Boxing inspector Clayton Frye questioned Wilson on Graziano’s accusation but the *referee explained he already had turned in his card to- thering announcer and saw nothing wrong in telling questioners how he scored the bout. Judges George Latka and Lee Grossman had split in determining the winner. Latka tabbing Matthews. 96-94, and Grossman giving Armstead the nod, 96-95. Wilson called it 97-95 in Artnstead’s favor. The, United Press International scored it 96-94 -for Matthews. If you have something to sell M rooms for rent, try a Democrat #ant Ad — They bring results.

Bearcats Win Friday Night j May Be Costly INDIANAPOLIS <UPD—Muiicie Central’s Bearcats, tops in Indiana high school basketball, had their 13th straight victory today, but their 85-71 North Central Conference decision over Anderson was costly. Jim Davis, Muncie’s 6-6 pivot ace, left the game with his wrist broken in two places. He was one of the Bearcats’ top scorers and rebounders. Even should Davis miss the last seven regular-season games, he was expected to be ready for sectional tourney play late next month. It was the second time this season that Muncie beat the Indians. Four Muncie marksmen tallied in double figures, paced by Ron Bonham with 26 markers. Dick Patterson hit 23 for Anderson. Valpo Loses After a cautious first half, Muncie launched into the third period with a 33-28 lead and broke the game wide open, holding a 61-42 advantage going into the final Six of the seven teams rated in the top 10 by the United Press International board of coaches which played came out on top. Only 7th-ranked Valparaiso was beaten, bowing to Gary Tolleston, 44-41, in the West NIHSC. Valpo derailed Hammond earlier this week. East Chicago Washington, No. 2, blasted Gary Wallace, 80-47; Indianapolis Shortridge, No. 3 , plowed under city foe Howe, 71-55; 4th-rated Madison rolled over Franklin, 80-63, Hammond, ranked 5, beat Gary Mann, 62-40, and Kokomo, No. 6, dropped Frankfort, 58-49. The Michigan City at Elkhart clash for the East NIHSC lead was one of a dozen or so games postponed by a near - blizzard and was rescheduled for Jan. 31. Michigan City ranked eighth this week. East Chicago and Madison also kept their unbeaten slates clean boosting their season marks to 12-0. . . — -. ——- ■*-- Senators Easy Winners The East Chicago Senators romped to a 26-11 Ist-period lead, and more than doubled West NIHSC foe Wallace for a 45-20 mid-game edge. Phil Hawkins led the Senators with 16 points followed by teammate Pete Auksel with 15. ' Shortridge led Howe at all stops for its 11th win in 12 games. Steve Van Antwerp pulled down 30 of Madison’s 80 points. Buster Briley hit 18, and the rest of the starting five all tallied in double figures, with one sub getting 9 points. Jimmy Rayl tallied 26 for Kokomo in its North Central clash with Frankfort and New Castle, No. 12 in the state, kept its NCC record clean, beating Marion, 5852. In the Central Conference, Elwood kept its grip on first place and extended its winning string to eight with a 55-40 victory over Peru' Rushville, Washington Win Rushville also retained its lead in the South Central loop and gained a 5-1 record by beating Shelbyville, 67-43. Center Phill Garrison fired in 21 for Rushville and was matched by Shelbyville's Danny Thurston. Frank Jozs_a ran his string of free throws to 37 straight with five for Terre Haute Gerstmeyer against Sullivan before he missed one. Gerstmeyer won the Western loop tilt, 55-47.

Tourney Notes The Adams Central Greyhounds sat in their Usual southwest corner, Hartford had the northwest corner, and Geneva the northeast corner for the Friday night games. Decatur Catholic Commodore fans filled the southeast corner. A total of 2,460 telephone calls were mad? io the Decatur Daily Democrat-Citizens Telephone company Thursday night for the first tournament scores. Gordon Snyder, of Phoenix, Ariz., who is visiting the Rev. and Mrs. Clarence Gerig of Fort Wayne, saw his first Hoosier basketball game Friday night when the Geneva-Hartford second teams clashed. It came as quite a surprise to him, Don Gerig reported, that so many fans would attend a basketball game and make so much noise. In Arizona football draws the big crowds, and you hardly hear a mumble*at the net games. * _* «■ Peter Figert had his Geneva pep band present to provide music during the game. Hartford’s band played Thursday night. The 50 player Adams Central band played between the two games, the usual peppy numbers and school songs* mi— The sheriffs department took Ume out from the Pleasant Mills panther hunt long enough to park cars and direct traffic for the tourney. Dick Mansfield of the city police, Robert Meyer, Charles Arnold, regular deputies, Jack Hurst, of the state conservation service, Roger Singleton, Maurice Teeple, and Jim Cowens, special deputies, and Gene Rash, state police, helped out. Ross Johnson and Harold Long. Geneva teachers, took tickets at the front door. The Monroe town firemen, about six or seven of them, circulated through the building, keeping the crowd in order, and preventing any smoking, Mrs. Mary Howard and Mrs. Maxine Ford reported that only one boy, Jack Barlett, was treated at the first aid station. He received aspirin for a headache. Thursday night Eddie Hirschy was treated for a cut finger. Friday Dr. C. P. Hinchman of Geneva was on hand to aid anyone needing medical treatment. Clarence Weber of the Black funeral home, was standing by with an ambulance. Dollars given to the Community Fund drive make Red Cross aid possible at the ball games, as well as elsewhere. Berne has charge of handling concessions at this year’s tournament.. This task is rotated, and the school chosen gets one-half the profits, the rest being divided among the other schools. Loren Jones, principal* at Monmouth, has charge of the tourney management this year. A total of 1,264 season tickets were sold for all four sessions, eight more than last year. There were 1,680 present the first night, and about the same number the second night, not a capacity crowd, but a comfortable one, with no * ‘holes’ ’ visible in the audience. And speaking of the audience, sportsmanship has been the best at this tournamnet that can be remembered by many of those attending. No one has gotten out of line, or caused a disturbance. Four Amish boys attended last night’s session, a very unusual tourney occurrence. At the BerneAdams Central game this year the largest crowd of Amish attended that has ever been seen at a local county game. Kenny Watkins has a clever way of indicating to the crowd and to the coaches the number of fouls each flayer has when he commits another one—he holds up a white marker with the number clearly printed on both sides in red so everyone can see it. The second team tourney final ended with John Hofstetter of Geneva hitting one of those fabulous last-second shots from near the center of the floor. It just skimmed the net as tshe final buzzer mod the net as the final buzzer The Greyhounds ‘‘mowed down” the Cardinals before the game even started—David Haggard, in a greyhound costume, and a toy 1

Adams Central made the first basket of the game, alter a tie in the middle of the first quarter they led by a small margin most cf the way. w Gerald "Doc” Vizard scouted the teams xor Pleasant Mills, and Bob Worthman was on hand for the Decatur Yellow Jackets. W—» Adams Central’s solid red and white cheering section made the best impression from the news booth. Hartford had rather small crowd in red outfits, and Geneva’s black failed to show up well against the general crowd background, at least from the aerial view. E. M. Webb, Berne superintendent, reported that the Berne high school is now using the addition* to the gym, including the music room, which is practically completed. They hope to be in the outside addition by March or April. The new offices and classrooms there will make it one of the most modern schools in this area. The second night of the tourney, a heartbreaker for the Cardinals who came within one point at the final buzzer, was a real thriller for the Greyhound fans who are still hoping for their first county championship.
