Many Like Chances of Alva Staggs’ Fast-Stepping Monticello Five.

(First of a Series)

LAFAYETTE, March 8—Frankfort’s Hot Dogs, perennial state title

their latest bid for the championship by emerging from the regional here Saturday. By their victory, the Hot Dogs would join Monticello, Hammond and Elkhart (if play runs to previous form) in the semifinal here March 19. The Frankforters are given the nod in the local regional because their final game rival, Lafayette or Lebanon,- will have to go through a strenuous afternoon battle. The Dogs are not expected to be both-

champion, in their afternoon scrap. Coach Paul W. (Butch) Neuman's Tigers of Lebanon clawed the Bronchos of Jefferson of Lafayette twice during the season, 44-38, on Jan. 12 at Lebanon and 42-34, Feb. 25 here. Nevertheless, Jeff is liable to break into a winning gallop in their third meeting. It's an even bet and ‘ake your choice as to which team will qualify for the last game. There, Frankfort is counted on to handle either of its rivals, having dropped each of them twice during the regular schedule.

From Logansport’s regional, Monticello should come to Lafayette for the northwestern semifinal. In his scrappy band of Tioga Indians, veteran Coach Alva Staggs probably has another strong contender, generally rated one of the best since his Lebanon team of 1917 grabbed the prep diadem.

Monticello Should Win

The Tribe should find Royal Center no problem in the afternoon game, while Peru and Delphi are jousting for an evening game berth. Perry's Tigers should oufguess the Oracles and may hand Monticello its second loss of the year in, the regional finale. Far northern Indiana’s challenger will be badly scarred before advancing from the Michigan City regional. Emerson of Gary, La Porte and Hammond all have been thrown together in this elimination bout. La Porte’s Slicers and Hammond Wildcats go after one another in (Turn to Page 14)

Jewell Young

(Copyright, 1938, by United Press) CHICAGO, March 8 (U. P.).— Four brilliant marksmen—all from the State of Indiana—and one of the finest defensive players ever to compete in the Big Ten were named today on the United Press All-Con-ference basketball selections. Jewell Young of Purdue and Michigan’s Capt. John Townsend, two of the four high-scoring products of Indiana prep schools, were unanimous choices for the second Both are forwards. Gene Anderson, also a key member of Purdue’s Big Ten champions, was named at center. Ernie Andres of Indiana, holder of the conference scoring record for a single game, and Martin Rolek of Minnesota were the first team guards. All but Rolek came from Indiana. Alternates were Ben Stephens of Iowa. and Jim Hull, Ohio State, forwards; Lewis (Pick) Dehner, Ilinois, center; Paul Maki, Minnesota, and Ad Vance of Northwestern, guards. Recommendations of conference coaches, newspapermen and regular campus correspondents figured in the selections. Young, a Lafayette, Ind. boy, shattered his own Big Ten scoring record of 172 points with a whirlwind finish in his last five games.

4 Hoosiers Named on Big T en All-Star Team

Gene Anderson

sophomore days, Townsend rolled up 135 points in his 12 games this season. He is from Indianapolis. Anderson was an ideal scoring mate for Young. Tall and rugged, this senior center from Franklin, Ind. outclassed his rival in almost every game. His challenger, Dehner, gave him a terrific battle in the first Illinois-Purdue game, which the Illini won, but Anderson still was. outstanding. A consistent scorer all season, Andres had his big night against Illinois. He hit the basket consistently all night, finally dropping in his 13th field goal in the final minutes. It broke the old record of 29 held by Joe Rieff, formerly of Northwestern, Young, and Dehner— by one point. Andres went to high school at Jeffersonville.
