the .second quarter, it was all Washington with McGinnis tossing in a mere 37 points, kind of a warm-up ivr his evenings performan e. Jac-Cen-Del provided what was probably the biggest surprise o< the day whin they topped Richmond 59 50 before going through the m< at grinder at night when McGinnis cappt a a veiy success ul oay with a 49 point pei .ormance.

In thi othti game, a slick Roasvilk team defeated North Vermillion 90-74 and Tolleston then u-e. 4 that big quarter again at night to top Rossville 96-79. This time it wus a 31 p >int fourth period that iced the decision. FT WAYNE WAS THE SITE per* nally visited anl Marion ox com came <ut of this meet. Goshen and Ft.

Marion won by 13. but just Ci in't look at uny time Saturday as if they . were playing upto their potential. ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE ♦ answered Saturday. Is Indianapolis Washington unbeatable? Everytime this year they have । faced a top-ranked team, they 1 have won without any trouble. Will their be that up-et that keeps basket ball a great specla- ' tor sport? Everyone is hooting for the Continentals nd any win over them would be an upset. Will the great George McKinnis re-write the record , books? He already has quite a start with a mere 86 points in ' the semi-sUite. The big question 1 will be, who will be the next ; champion o. ln ...n. „ cDall ' ( ' ll ii i e 1n _i m:p ..
