The Gophers, however, were heavy |

choice |

8-to-1—on | a par with Calumet Farm's Count |

were topheavy in favor of the picked teams. Washington's upset by Des catur Central in the local sectional, and Bloomington's defeat at the hands of Monrovia, were outstands ing among last night's games in tha 64 centers, Coach Archie Chadd's Anderson Indians remained in the top list of contenders today. Local fans had the opportunity of seeing the In= | dians turn on the offense which held | Shortridge to 6 points in a recent (game at the Butler Fieldhouse. Central Favorite Central of Ft. Wayne was another | favorite to come through to the | finals at the Butler Fieldhouse on ( March 27. The Central Tigers won { from Decatur, 47-28, in their game | last night at the Ft, Wayne sec= | tional, Crawfordsville stayed in the runs | ning with a victory over New Mar= | ket, 38-14, at Crawfordsville last night. Reitz and Bosse of Evans= ville loomed up in the southern pois tion of the state with double vice tories yesterday. | Coach A. B. Masters’ Lafavette | crew worked through an easy game | with Clarks Hill, winning in a walk, [ 52-12, yesterday. Coach Masters’ [quintet is one of two teams (the [other is Logansport) to defeat the | now-dethroned Frankfort team durs= ing the regular season. Lafayette has plenty of punch and should come through according to its fole lowers, Logansport Threat

Logansport, another threat to the state title, walked off with (a 49-27 victory over Twelve Mila | yesterday at the Logansport sec { tional. The Berries, always a dans | gerous tourney team under Coach CliiT Wells’ supervision, have the advantage of a possibility of sail= [ing through the sectional, regional [and semifinals, all on their home | floor, which, in a Hoosier tournas TE, means something. | Martinsville, the three-time states title winner, with one year’s runs ner-up scalp also in its belt, won two games yesverday and ap= peared to be on the way to the regionals. They defeated Unions ville, 60-6 and Mooresville, 49-33, Muncie's Bearcats also climbed [onto the bandwagon of state title hopefuls with two long-sided vice tories yesterday, Elkhart, the main factor in the Nappanee tourney and favorite with many fans, won (a three point victory over Wake arusa. Huntingburg Dark Horse

( Little Huntingburg, considered by [many as the most promising real {dark horse in this year's coms= | petition, slid across the scoreboard | with two top-heavy scores against | DuBois and Holland at the Peters | burg sectional. With new teams appearing strong on many fronts, the possibility of all the favorites to get through the | inal game tonight looked slim in | many cases. The victory of Rosse | ville has put new spirit into the | underdogs. |
