(Third of a Series)

Times Special MUNCIE, March 17.~Two year-

long favorites bang into two very |f dark horses Saturday in the local | of the Indiana high}

semifinal school basketball tourney. The favorites are South Side of Ft. Wayne and Central of Muncie. The dark horse entries who have

round of 16 are Sheridan and Kendallville, Kendallville’s Comets open the semifinal at 2 p. m. Saturday against Muncie. An hour later, South Side’s Archers will attempt to wing the soaring Blackhawks of Sheridan, winners of four consecu- |. tive upset victories. The survivors will battle at 8 p. m. for a place in the Indianapolis finals March 26. Muncie’s Bearcats, cochampions of the North Central Conference, “cradle of champions,” were heavy

ers before the tournament started. Coach Raymond (Pete) Jolly has a big, fast, experienced team that has run at the head of the state net parade since the opening barrier was sprung last fall.

Paced by Jim Carnes

Cocaptain Jim Carnes, leagueleading scorer and all-state forward, stars in a cast of six seniors

cats plowed through 18 rivals in 22 season games. Along the’ way, the Jollymen stacked up 16 straight triumphs, including a 39-t0-38 overtime victory over Hammond. South Side is coun'‘ed on to furnish Muncie’s most strenuous tourney opposition thus far, provided both elude their upset-bent first. round rivals. Coach Friddle, who tutored Washington’s 1930 state = champions, brought his Archers along just in time to take-over Central’s position as master of the North Side-Central-South Side triangle in Ft. Wayne. Counting tourney games, the Marksmen have won 24, lost three. Around Jim Glass, 6-foot 10-inch center, the Archer quintet is built, with deceptiveness, speed and plenty of reserve material. Bob Bolyard and Dale Hamilton, light, small forwards, provide the dash and Jim Roth and Johnny Hines man the guard posts. \ Easy Time So Far

Kendallville, is no stranger among Indiana hardwood elite, but the

far this year. They loafed to victory over both regional opponents, building up such a huge margin against Warsaw that the Tigers cauldn’t overtake them by outscoring Kendallville, 17 to 10, in the last half. Kendallville last reached - the round of 16 in 1931. Sheridan’s Blackhawks pushed through strong opposition to gain a berth in the local event. On their way, they outscored such powerful enemies as Carmel, Tipton, Kokomo and Marion. Coach: Paul Shanklin’s cagers have never before moved this far up the road to the THSAA' throne.

Team Well-Balanced

The team is big and well-bal-anced with two seniors, two juniors and a sophomore in the starting lineup. Captain Junior Gary and sophomore Jim Mace have been leading the team from their forward positit The Hawks prevailed against both Kokomo and Marion through their Superior scctfracy at the freethrow line, hitting of 20 free

cats and 11'of 17 to six of fifteen for Marion, Shanklin’s pupils counted 11 times in-37 blasts from the field against Kokomo. At night, they fell off badly, getting only seven of 41 attempts but were greatly helped by the fact that Marion scored but nine of 55 shots.
