LAF \YETTE, March 15.—In the The field of the local semifinal, one of four to b- played in the annual Indiana High School Basketball Tourney, are a fo: mer state champ, a 1937 finalist, a former “great,” and one of the most powerful teams ever to come from northern Indiana.
They winner; derson ir last year’s finals; Delphi, a strong eam in the late 1920's and early ‘30':, and Hammond, lately a consisten ly strong contender from northern Indiana. ; : Frankfort plays Delphi at 2 p. m. Saturday with Hammond and Rochester scheduled to take the floor an hour ater. The afternoon winners will meet at 8 p. m. for the semifinal honors. : ~ Of the ‘our, only Prankfort’s Hot Dogs had been favored to reach this stage of ‘he Indiana goal festival. « Coach _verett Case of Frankfort assemblec a quintet this season that started slowly, then did an abrupt about fac~ Jan. 7, never losing a game the: after. Oddly <aough, Frankfort started its winnir z streak by beating Jefferson of _afayette and, last Satur- - day, ran its triumph string to 15 games age inst the same team in the regional’ fnale. Jeff’s Bronchos lost by four points, 30 to 26. because they couldn't match the Casemen’s height. With tWo minut °s gone in the third quarter, the Broncos led, 17 to 11, only to have Frankfort erase their lead and go ak:zad to stay. Case’s p:esent Hot Dogs are a rebuilt edition, last year’s first five having bec: lost by graduation. The team’ inc ividual star is Charles (Splinter) ‘Johnson, junior center.
f cored 37 Points
Against Oxford and Jeff, Frankfort’s regonal enemies, Splinter tossed 11 baskets'and 15 free throws for 37 of Lis club’s 85 points. He is exclusively a Case development, not having becn on the Frankfort varsity a year ago. Grouped about Johnson, the canny Ca:s= has Joe Shepard, a smooth-wo: zing senior, and Vernon Cook, a promising big sophomore, at forwards; Capt. John Lynch, who fought his way up from the ranks Jo a regula: slot at guard, and Gordon Wise, 7ho devotes his time to the opposir: team’s star scorer with considerabl: success. = The Frankforters have mastered the art of handling rebounds and, because of their height, will force any rival to put up a strong battle in order to cet its share of bounding balls. ; Rochester fought back from:® a three-point deficit. in the final minute of ‘its afternoon game with Culver in order to enter the regional finals on its home court, where the + Washington of South Bend Pan- , thers were © iropped into the discard.
Continuity of Attack
Because ‘heir home floor ends just four fe=t short of the stage at one end of he building, the Zebras tutored by Clyde Lyle do not pracfice tbe fast breaking style of offensive. The °y depend mainly upon attack, trying constantly to s shake a man out in the open with Elock or screening plays. Four Roch: iester regulars collected nd than 100°points apiece during with two other Zebras png the century mark. The pointers are. Cecil Polk, Jack “and Fred Gordon. Fred Gordon handles one forward post with. Don Smiley generally playing on {he opposite side of the Goor: Carl Gordon jumps center .and “Cecil Polk, the Zebras’ high -scorer, and Jack Stout do the sentinel duty. ©One unusual fact about the Zeptas is that their guards, Stout ahd Pred Gordon, are just as potent

center, who are usually the a elphi is ‘he unknown quantity. } Oracles, who paid their last visit to the round of 16 in 1932, effectively stopped Peru Saturday afternoon and then caught Royal Centre in = letdown after the Royals: had upset Monticello’s Indians. EA us Frankfort: Is Favored
‘Frankfort is ‘expected to make shost work of Coach Lester Williams’ Oracles even though Delphi ~ gained considerable favor through its impressive regional showing. Hammond's husky Wildcats are the only Northern Indiana Conference represcatatives left in the championship debate. Last year, they reached theisemifinals and got no further, but this year’s going- to be different, according to Calumet district observers. The Wildcats, a majority of whom played football, beat the best teams in their section of th’ state with discouraging regularity. lone venture against a “power” from elsewhere, they lost by one point in an overtime to Muncie’s Bearcats at Hammond. - In pretournament selections, the |
Wildcats rated high, although many

because no northern Indiana five has ever won the state crown. Big, heavy and smart, the ‘Cats immediate objective is revenge on Rochester for last year’s semifinal defeat. They came through the Michigan City regional against two teams, La Porte and Emerson of Gary, with an ease that may be indicative of their latent strength. La Porte was expected to give Hammond such a hard afternoon game that Emerson might upset them at night. Instead, La Porte was 10 points back of the Wildcats at the end of their afternoon tilt and Emerson was even worse off, 12 points behind, when Kessler's cagers plowed through the Norsemen from Gary to take the regional title.

Red Birds’ Peppery Pilot, Thinks Valuable Time Is Being Wasted.
"(First of a Series)
By HARRY GRAYSON . NEA Service Sports Editor ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, March 15—Branch Rickey,. the eminent baseball scientist, is doing altogether too much expe very practical manager, Frisch. Nineteen seasons on the firing line taught Frisch the value of experience at, and familiarity ‘with, a

in=—1937, developing arm trouble and being practically worthless after being sfruck on the great toe by a liner from Earl Averilis bat in the all-star game. . Dean’s Return Would Help. t
In the form that was. his from 1932 to 1936, inclusive, Dean easily might make up from seven to 12 of the games the Gas House Gang finished in arrears in }1937, but Diz is - just another of the Cardinal question marks. The ever steady Lon Warneke never looked better, and the corps is rounded out by Si Johnson, Bob Welland, Bill McGee and Max Macon, who copped 21 engagements for Columbus in 1937. Roy Henshaw, the little southpaw who Has seen service with the Cubs and Brooklyn Dodgers, and Ray Harrell, who is about due to locate control.
But the finest pitching in history] : would be sorely handicapped by the | current crop.of Red Bird catchers. |’
Frisch would like to string along with Padgett, but has little faith in the ability of as fine a teacher as Rickey to convert an outfielder so rapidly. Mickey Owen may do some day, but he is very young and . still inclined to be rattle- | brained. The best-of the lot probably is Herb Bremer, who finished with’ the Cardinals last fall after hitting 305 for the Columbus, Ga., club, but he is taking it easy following an appendectomy. Outside of Pitchers Dizzy Dean ‘and Warneke, only two Cardinals are assured of positions, and they are. the great long-range hitters, Joe Medwick and Johnny Mize. Hard Luck Stuart Martin will do at second base as quickly as he recovers his full strength following a late-January attack of mumps. Other candidates for second base are Jimmy Brown and Jimmy Bucher. Brown also plays considerable shortstop.

ARMSTRONG FACES
LOS ANGELES, March 15 (U. P)). — Henry Armstrong’s dream of a triple boxing crown will be shelved temporarily tonignt while he settles a personal argument with Baby Arizmendi, a clever little Mexican who has defeated him twice, Three times in the last four years the two have met. Each bout was a slashing contest between the defensive wizardry of Arizmendi and the hammering offense of the diminutive Los Angeles Negro. Ariz-
mendi won the first two engage-|
ments, one at 10 rounds and one at 12. Armstrong won the third, and there began a sensational climb that took him to the featherweight championship.
