Practically every district favorite came through J in the basketball tournament held Friday and Saturday of last week in twenty Indiana cities.

The twenty district winners were: At Anderson —Anderson. At Bedford—Bloomington. At Columbus—Columbus. At Crawfordsville —Wingate. At Franklin—Franklin. At Greencastle —Plainfield. At Hartford City—Huntington. At Hammond—Emerson. At Kendalville—Kendaville. At Kokomo—Kokomo. At Lafayette—Montmorenci. At Martinsivlle—Martinsville. At Newcastle—Muncie. At Richmond —Richmond. At Rochester —Rochester. At South Bend—South Bend. At Thorntown —Lebanon. At Vincennes —Vincennes. At Washington—Washington.
