Hoagland. Monroeville Play In Adams Central Sectional In February

Adams county's six basketball teams and two from Allen county will comprise the field for the Adams Central sectional this year, according to the sectional assignments for the 54th Indiana high school basketball tournament released Friday night by commissioner Phil N. Eskew of the IHSAA. The assignments soothed the questions of many Adams county high school baskets'll fans who were worrired about the possibil- , tty of losing a sectional in this county entirely. With the closing of Hartford Center and Pleasant Mills high schools last summer, Adams county was left with only six teams, the two from Decatur, Monmouth, Adams Central, Berne and Geneva. But these six teams and Hoagland’s Wildcats and Monroeville's Cubs from Allen county will make up the field for the Adams Central meet in February Hoagland was shifted to this county from the Bluffton sectional, where it has played the past couple of seasons, and Monroeville was taken out of the Fort Wayne sectional. In all probability, there will be two games Wednesday and two games Thursday in the Adams Central sectional, with the four winners played Saturday afternoon and the championship Saturday night. This was the arrangement at Adams Central for the past several seasons. 598 Teams Entered INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— The ever-changing structure of the Indiana high school basketball tourney today made Lake County the first area to have three sectionals—thanks to the discontinuance of the first-round session at Peru. The loss of 41 schools since last year’s tourney—the result mostly of Consolidations — reduced the field to 598, the smallest since 1923. with the remnants from the Peru sectional being absorbed by Logansport. Kokomo, Manchester and Plymouth. -- * although expected, shifted the Clinton Central sectional back to Frankfort, which has the only brand-new gymnasium to be utilized in the 54th annual title chase which - wav in February. Clinton Central housed thft Frankfort area sectional the last four years, but Frankfort, home of the 4 - time state champs, seats about 2.200 more fans... . Hammond joined East Chicago and Gary as sectional centers in the Calumet. This year’s field compares with the all-time high of 787 in 1938. It has gone down gradually since the mid-1950s and more drastic changes were predicted for next year in the tourney setup. The overall seating capacity, sectional through the state fi-

YELLOW JACKETS By Bob Shrahika a Too many errant passes and some questionable whistle-blow-ing from the officials cost the Decatur Yellow Jackets a big upset at New Haven Friday evening as the Bulldogs rallied final period for a 76-61 victory in£ the Northeastern Indiana Conference engagement. Coach Bill McColly's Jackets battled the Bulldogs all the way and had them grasping desperately to contain the Decaturites on several occasions. But in the end it was the numerous times the Jackets made bad passes, and several “bad breaks” in the officiating that cost them. Entering the final quarter with a 52-47 deficit, the Jackets battled back as Greg Ladd, again outstanding, connected on a pair of free tosses and a fielder to cut the New Haven lead to 52-51. The teams continued to trade points in, the period until less than four minutes remained when Max Elliott scored from under the hoop and' the Bulldogs of Norm Ellenberger were holding a slim 58-55 lead. Free Throw Parade Denny Herman hit from the field seconds later, and then the free throw parade began — with the ‘Dogs shooting most of them. Before it was over the Bulldogs had'built up a 66-55 lead with 2:47 to play, and then won going away. The Jackets lost two players on personal fouls, as Craig McEwan, who played one of his better ball games, fouled out early in_the final period and Sam Blythe with three minutes to play. In addition . Elliott and John Custer were riding with four when the contest ended. \ , Blythe, moved back to guard, got Decatur into the lead with a one-hander with 28 seconds elapsed in the contest.
