.High School Cage Leaders

Face Pair of Tough Nights;

"2 City Teams in for Battles

Central of South Bend and Huntingburg to Tackle Two. Opponents... ;

By United Press

* Keep a weather eye on the layout: of ‘Indiana high school basketball games this week-end, you tournament forecasters. It looks like another pdir of tough evenings for some of ‘the leaders as the pace quickens toward March. Only two of the State’s leading quintets can boast of being defeated only once. ‘And with the fall of

Huntingburg last week, there re-|,

main no major unbeaten outfits. With only one loss against their sterling records, South Bend Central and the Happy Hunters will be pressed into their best game over the week-end. The Bears in the north journey to La Porte tonight and face South Bend Riley tomorrow: night. Huntingburg will be entertained by Washington in the south tonight and will close its Schefiule tomorrow night at Princen. Only two among the State’s larger teams remain with two defeats chalked against them. Of this pair, the State champion South Side Archers of Ft. Wayne are far and away the better. Jeffersonville 5 he other club in this classifica-

+ Jeff Tackles Bedford

The Archers will have things comparatively easy this week after turning in a pair of victories last week-end. They will face Salem tomorrow night in their only game. Jeffersonville will meet Bedford at Bedford, and fans will be watching the game to: see how well the Red Devils have recovered from their 40-28 embarrassment at Frankfort last Friday. Frankfort, after an up-and-down season, is now one of the most talked-about ' tournament prospects in the state. The Hot Dogs had only one game scheduled this week. They beat Vincennes Wednesday, 45 to 19. Some of the state’s other important teams have important games on tap. Franklin, leader of the South Central Conference by a comfortable margin, takes on Rushville tonight in a loop game. But anything that might happen at this late stage in the season could not prevent the Grizzlies from taking the conference title. Franklin has been beaten only three times all season.

North Side Takes on Two

North Side of Ft. Wayne, with only four defeats to blemish its record, tackles two foes. Tonight they meet Bluffton and tomorrow night face South Bend Washington. Hammond, up in the Northern Conference is scheduled to meet Hammond Tech tonight and East Chicago Washington tomorrow hight. Other top-notchers tonight include: Lafayette Jefferson at Logansport. Connersville at New Castle. . Bloomington at Vincennes. Goshen at Elkhart.

haired Irishman, came back to the old home town for a happy visit and happy it was despite the fact that he saw his St. Joseph College basketball team trounced by Butler, 41 to 29. The hurricane warning signs were posted at the Fieldhouse for the benefit of Joe and his Cardinals before they entered last night. In fact, they were posted there when he scheduled the game. But the former Cathedral High School athletic chief was glad from the outset to brave the certain storm and he was glad to come back and tell his friends of the good things he thinks lie ahead for him and St. Joe in the competitive field. His aim in this, his first school year in the college realm, is to put the Cardinals on the athletic map and he’s been willing to trod treach-

Firestone Five Plays Kautskys

erous mountains and passes to do} Joe Dienhart, the serious, dark- |SO

As for the game itself, it probably was the most listless, unexciting combat produced at the Fieldhouse this season and was witnessed by the smallest congregation of fans. Give Tony a Scare

Dienhart had on the floor the basketball lovers from a football team . . . short, husky, lads without range. They passed fairly well, but the basket was as strange to them as an oasis to a desert Arab. Joe’s pregame pep talk had to be a warning against fourth-down and two-to-go tactics because his outfit is one which believes in the employment of hips and hands. But at that, the Cardinals had Butler's Tony Hinkle looking a bit sour when he eyed a 17 to 17 score sheet at the half. Then the Bulldogs pulled way with hard driving to annex their seventh consecttive Indiana Conference victory to just about cinch the league crown. : Things got a little rough at times and Butler's Jerry Steiner and Bill Geyer were forced out wincing with

injuries. Steiner had a mending leg’

anyhow. When he crashed out of bounds on a foul the Cardinals, in a gentlemanly gesture, called time out to enable him to ease his pain before stepping up to shoot the free basket. He made it and then went for his sweater and the water bottle. Melloh Looks Best

Probably the best performer on the Cardinal team was Bill Melloh, Indianapolis Tech graduate, The abbreviated blond didn’t play high school basketball, but he’s catching on fast. He recouped most of the rebounds for his team, dribbled well and hit the hoop four times. Bob Dietz again headlined for Butler. The game got only one man up in the air. That was Joe’s brother, Nish, but he’s up in the air most of the time anyhow, what with being keeper of the Municipal Airport and skiing from here to there in winged ships. Nish was timekeeper.
