nm ’h have the opportunities thev needl'd to come from behind In the secund game. Glenn put together some good shooting and took good shots to top South Bend Jackson by 10. This set up what turned out to be a real oix -sided final as Plymouth m el< it through the championship game. AT KNOX SURPRISE WAS tie Older of the day. In the euly i >unds, it went as expected as Knox, despite its trouble, elimm ited LaCrosse and North J ds tn topped Culver. Saturday the form chart remained true, as Winam ic won the first contest over Oregon-Davis. The second g .me. rated by many as a toss ip, found North Judson rather handily tupping the Knox team. At night however, the real shocker came as Winamac topped the Blue Jays fur the title. AT WARSAW. THINGS JUST followed the predicted pattern. Eu <t round action found Rochester over Triton and Wawasee over Mentone. Saturday the host Tigers disposed of Akron and Rot hester dropped Wawasee. It was Warsaw over the Zebras in the final game, no surprises here at all. AT COLUMBIA CITY. A group of teams we know next to nothing about met and the results showed we knew nothing about them. South Whitley and Pieri eton were first round winners over Manchester and Churubusco respectively. Northfield eliminated the host on Saturday and South Whitley topped Pierceton. Northfield was the winner of the meet. AT ELKHART. THE HOST team had little trou^’e in winning their own title. In action there. Elkhart topped Concord first and Jimtown second to gain the finals. In the other bracket. Penn topped Northwood and Northridge upset Goshen. Penn then made the finals with a win over Northridge and Elkhert came out on top. AT CHESTERON. IT WAS Valparaiso once again. This perennial winner did the trick by topping Wheller and Chester ton in early rounds and they eliminated Portage in the finals Portage topped Washington Township and Morgan Township upset Kouts to gain Saturday pla\ MICHIGAN CITY PUT ONE more on their string of sectional titles * hit h now numbers 19 dating way back to Rolling Prairies victory in 1951 The Devils had easy pickings over New Prairie. Westville and Laporte m this one. Westville had

a dandy first round game, edging Marquette by one point. LaPor’e and South Central Saturday had a pretty good one going with LaPorte emeiging late to get into the finds. AT SOUTH BEND. THE best tourney in years was held. Thrills wore plentiful as all but one of the games went light down to the final minutes oi seconds before being decided. FIRST ROUND PLAY AT South Bend also found the four favored teams winning but not quite according to the form chart. Central was pushed : >od by Clay for a good share of their game and in the second Wednesday titl. Riley and St. Jo went right to the wire with the W.ldcats bowing out right at the end SECOND ROrXD ACTION was fealurid 1 y he fa oel Ad ims team having to figh‘ for their lives and < ome f»mn behind to nip Mishawaka bv three points. This was a real burner for the favored Ea-hs LaSalle then made short work of the Washington Panthers to sot up the five Saturday action at that site. SATU RD A Y AFTFI ’N OO N had two fine games with St. Joe coming back in the last seconds to drop Central in their final game. The Bears. a tradition in South Bend for years, closed their brilliant career with 900 lifetime wins. The second game found LaSalle edging Adams in an overtime This set the stage for another whing ding which LaSalle came out on top by two in the championship contest. AS FAR AS LAST WEEK S choices, we rated this way. Five of eight sectional winners were picked, missing LaSalle’s victory at South Bend. Northfield’s win at Columbia City and Winamac's triumph nt Knox. In all. six of seven were picked at LaVille, five of five at Warsaw, three of five at Knox, four of six at Elkhart. five of six at Chesterton, four of five nt Michigan City, five of seven at South Bond and only two of five at Columbia City. The overall total of 34 out of 46 games were right. THIS WEEK WILL FIND A humdinger of a tourney at Elkhart with whit could be one of the mast balanced fields in the state. Elkhart definately his a powerful team and home court advantage. However, the combined records only totals 11 losses for the four teams and anvthmg could h r pen. South Bend appears to favor Michigan Citv. but LaSalle, smarting from forfeiture of seven games and a team that seemingly is jelling, rating contention. Valpo also has a fine cl b but none appear strong enough to top what manv say is Michigan Ci tv’s finest club. We would have to go with Elkhart and the Red Denis in these two meets. IN THE OTHER 14 MEETS, we see the winners as follows; Marion at Anderson. Seymour at Bloomington. Columbus at Columbus. Connersville at Connersville and Evansville Memorial at Evansville Also Fort Wayne Central at Fort Wayne. East Chicago Roosevelt at Gary. Lebanon at Greencastle Jefferson at Huntingburg, and At tucks at Indianapolis At Kokomo we pick Huntington. Lifaxette at Lifayette. Richmond at New Castle and Bloomfield at Washington once again we know little about many of these but they are our picks this week end.
