ADD To THIS SOMEWHAI of a surpris- in Evansville Rex Mundi the first parochial adioo to ever visit the Butler Field- । house as on< of the four participants Then the fourth team is Huntington who also was somewhat of a urpnse. hut who has a very sound ball club and plans I to make their presence well known. But. as fate would have it, the luck of the draw puts Columbus against Huntington and Lafayette Jeff against Rex Mundi and mo«t people have the idea m the back of their head that they will see the nutnbei one and two teams in the final game Saturday night, truly a dm *m match if it comes through COLUMBI’S WITH THEIR perfect 27-0 record, will be trying to duplicate a feat that has on.y l> -n done twice, that winning a state title with a team that h sn" lost m that aea-on The f’.i ' to try was Jeffersonvilb in 193"> but they fe'l victim to Ander -n 23-17 Then after several war Terre Haute Carfte’d with i big i- nte- named Clyd< . Ixivel.’ti made the tourney to ! Ind; •:»o!:-> and la.’ed until the fina' g.une with Shelbyville, witl Bill Garrett staring. topped then. 6^ 5 s m 1947 It finally

took a team named the Cnspus Attacks of Indianapolis, to turn the trtek and this wasn’t just an ordinary team as they hail a player by the name of Oscar Robertson who has to rank with the all time groats anywhere to do it. Thia was in 1956 and the Attacks had won the title the year before as well. Then South Bend Central came uiong the next year and turned the trick with as well balanced four men as one could hope for in the Coalman brat hem, Herbie I-ee and Lee McNight. The fifth player was a scrappy, aggre valve guard. Denny Bishop, who just wasn't much of a scorer, but complemented the other four with his floor play MUNCIE CENTRAL WAS next to make it to the final game w ithout a blemuti on their record as Ron Bonham and crew almost made it but fell hard to a strong and inspired East Chicago Wasiungton Crew in 1960 Now Columbu- will be trying to duplit ate this feat with a well baianced and very strong offensive crew, but still a team that has an outstanding scorer in Jerry Newsome. However, Jeff will remember that laat. year they lost by- only two points. 73-71, tc Murcie Central, with two of their stars differing from injury’, one completely out and the othei getting hurt early ift the game HUNTINGTON HAS A COUple of players who have established rooordt and. a well balanced five to go w-ith them Mike Weaver and Mike Shumaker hold the distinction of b«ung the only players in Indiana basketball history to play <>n four regional winner*. It is rare enough to find freshmen playing varsity ball in a school that makes a name foi itself basketball wiM-. let alone to -.park this team to four regional victories and finally make h all ’he way to the finals REX MUNDI WAS OONSID -ued last year as the team to give defending state champio.* Evansville Bo se trouble between the sectionals and finals, but lost to the 1962 champs Thu year u^u-n not considered quite astrong, they rame through and will represent a city that lias Juul much to be proud of in state final play over the years SATURDAY WE TOOK TIME off again to visit Ft Wayne to see the senu*state at that great coliseum Tlux Is the place that b;> k in 1959 gave probably as g.vat a game to the public thiiliwise as anyone could ever hop*to see when two great tars me', m the first afternoon game to battle it out for th< right to ad- ’ ancc on to more glory That of oursr. was Jimmy Rayl/ the .plendid splinter of Kokomo, ami Tom B ly.od of Fort Wayne South who e ivsps live team*liiittkxi for a full 32 minutes of i a>ketb.

duapixnnting to most as the fans, presn, radio and TV felt that Garrett could have made a much better «diowing had the two twin peaks, Bavis and Heltz. been given a chance to play together throughout the game instead of one at a time. However, since we were not coaching ami can only set back and speculate, it seems unfair to cast doubt on a move that had been most successful for them until this point THE NIGHT BATTLE THEN shaped up between Huntington and Elkhart and boy, did these two go at it. This was the type of game that could go on and on and the two teams would atUl H very close, but Huntington managed to be ahead at the 32 minute mark which marks the end of regulation play to win by six points. It was a little disappointing to see the area favorite fall, but very deserving to the victors who never gave up and certainly earned their upot in the final four this coming Saturday AS FAR AS GOING OUT ON the limb and promptly starting to saw from behmef we xvill once again do it and pv k the action real quickly for Saturday Columbus ha* to have something and it will be enough to get them into the final game against I-afav-vtte Jeff In the big battle we will go with Jeff as long as they stay on the healthy side and pick them fur the next state champion Elementary Baskethall Night Is A Success On Tuesday.
