STATE TOURNEY HITS STRETCH

PAGE 6

Most surprising, of course, in the state high school basketball regionals Saturday was® the triumph of two unheralded, unsung teams, Plainville and Sheridan. . It was the first regional victories in tourney history [for the pair of dark horses and the upsets give added color to the eliminations. . . . They bumped off schools which wor state championships down through the years and . the citizens of Plainville and Sheridan matched the World War Armistice celebration Saturday night.

Sixteen high-geared teams now split into four centers as they face the title stretch to cut the field to four

. this week-end. . . . Anderson, the defending champion,

took the measure of Fortville and Shortridge in regional competition and served notice the Indians have what if. take: in the old clutch. ~ And many observers who saw Anderson stop Shortridge cold. departed from the game feeling a hunch that Loach ‘Archie Chadd played a bit of possum with his team this season and held its “fast ball” under cover. 2 x = ® 8 = . FTER Shortridge gained a lead of 8-6 in the first quarter Anderson exploded a dizzy pace which bewildered the Blue Devils and had the crowd ga-ga, even in the sections which contained fans of no school connections involving teams on the floor. . . . Young Clemons, forward, was the hot shot and ball hawk and while the Indians pourec in 10 points in the second quarter Shortridge was held to a single point on a free throw. The Blue Devils fought their hearts out in the third period and it was a standoff with three points each as the Indians played a cautious game and the Indianapolis lads tried in vain to come from behind. . . . Anderson turned on the speed again. in the early part of the fourth period and closed with an eight-point lead, 25-17.

Six Hoosiers on Gloves Team

SE Enosier boxers landed places on the Chicago Tribune's Intercity

Gold-n Gloves squad to battle the Eastern Golden Gloves champions in New York next Monday. They are Joe Benna, Terre Haute, iightweight champion; Bud Chapman, Terre Haute, bantamweight ge iternate; Jackie Campbell, South Bend, featherweight alternate; Milton Bess, Indianapolis, welterweight alternate; George Mitchell, Kokomo, and Joe Benna, Michigan City, middleweight alternates. The Tribune named a squad of 30. In the New York match, the eigh: Western champions will meet the eight Eastern kings and both teams als» will pick secondary squads to clash in eight tussles. 2 # # ”» tJ os ILTON BESS, Indianapolis, will perform in a secondary Golden Gloves battle in Madison Square Garden if he shows superiority during training over Marvin Liddell, Oklahoma City, the other welterweight alternate. On a poiht basis the secondary bouts mean as much as the jousts between ‘he title winners. And upon their showing in the New

. York fights will depend the boys’ chances for places on Chicago’s team

which is scheduled to meet an all-European amatedr squad in an inter-

national match at Chicago Stadium on May 18. # o 2 ” ” ®

AX EAER, the reconditioned job, has worked his way back into the hig money and at the moment that victory over Tommy Farr gains in importance. . The disturbance in Europe is the reason and in the event Max Schmeling is denied a leave of absence from Germany this summer, Baer probably will be recognized as Joe Louis’ No. 1 challenger and receive the June date with the Brown Bomber. § Another way to look at it from the money angle and Baer is the fact that California Maxie knocked out Schmeling in 10 rounds in 1933. . . And if the German is ‘permitted to fight Louis in June and wins, there ot be a loud beating: of 5 drums for a Baer-Schmeling match in Septembe Just gs keep the record straight, Louis knocked out Baer in four rounds in 1935 and Schmeling flattened Louis in 12 rounds in 1936.

By United Press Sixteen high school quintets, survivors of an avalanche of regional upsets, rushed toward the semifinals today with the Anderson Indians, 1937 state champions, again taking the tourney spotlight. Archie Chadd’s team for the first time this year, threw into action all their power to battle through the regional over Fortville and Shortridge showing a defense that smothered the Blue Devil attack, and a highspeed’ offense that had been. kept under cover throughout the season. The Chaddmen, in typical fashion, have established themselves one of the outstanding tourney threats. They defeated Shortridge, 25 to 17. Hammond's Wildcats wen through a strong regional in the north, overcoming a great LaPorte quintet, 33 to 23, and then defeating Emerson of Gary for third time this season, 29 to 17. Muncie, another Hoosier favorite for final honors, let Parker score eight points in the afternoon game. Against Richmond in the final, the Bearcats opened their high-powered offense and coasted in, 39 to 26. They are overwhelming favorites to win their semifinal roundup this Saturday. The big upsets started flashing as Sheridan, the quintet that plowed through Tipton and Carmel to enter the Marion regional, edged past Kokomo, 31 to 28, and won the championship in the evening over Marion, 25 to 24. It was an overtime battle. The small Hamilton County team is paired against South Side of Ft. Wayne in the Muncie semi-

final. Surprise in North

The surprise of the north was Kendallville, which ran over the Warsaw Tigers, 27 to 26 Kendallville gained the final by defeating Garrett 36 to 29. The Tigers had been considered one of the strongest fives in the north “and were virtually certain of a regional title. The Delphi Oracles whipped through two tough teams in the Logansport tourney. First they went past Peru, 33 to 24. Royal Centre fell next, 25 to 24. Royal Centre startled fans in the afternoon by stopping Alva Staggs’ Monticello Indians in an overtime, 23 to 20. Up to that time the Indians had won 27 of 28 games during the season. Bedford took the spotlight in southern play by knocking off an old rival, the New Albany Bulldogs, 34 to 27. The Stonecutters, gaining rev or an earlier defeat by the Bulldogs, accomplished the vicfter a hard afternoon battle with Seymour, which ended 24 to 21. Seymour had the game tied with a minute to play when Charles Caress was substiuted into the Cutter lineup. He hit a free throw and a field goal to give them the edge.

44 : Hot Dogs Advance

Jasper, the team which knocked out the Happy Hunters of Huntingburg, lost the starting scrap of the Washington hardwood war to Plainville, 34 to 28. The rangy Plainville quintet, called the “Midgets,” went into the championship struggle and conquered Vincennes, 43 to 37. South Side of Ft. Wayne piled up the highest scyre of the regionals against Ridgeville, 54 to 25. In the afternoon the Archers eliminated Huntington, 38 to 19. At Lafayette, the Jefferson Bronchos fell before Frankfort, 30 to 26, and the Hot Dogs went into a pairing with Delphi at the Lafayette semifinal Saturday. Central of Evansville, Columbus,

ville were other regional winners.
