Beech Grove First Foe Of County Champions .

By J. E. O'BRIEN Marion County basketball tourney fans have bought mild and shocking surprises and even a few heartaches with the first two pages of their ticket books and the boys and girls are due to buy some more today with the final two tickets. Matinee and evening performances were to decide the new champion, with Lawrence opposing Franklin Township and Decatur Central meeting Beech Grove in the teatime tests. Following: the best tournament tradition, the two beforedinner winners will meet this evening for the title. The manner in which Decatur Central’s defending champions. cut down the Ben Davis Giants was the highlight of last night's four-game marathon. The bjg crowd—so- big, in fact ,that the deputy sheriff in attendance wouldn't let folks in the front row cross their legs—had no idea that the Hawks could give the Giants a 42-24 lacing, but they did.

Central in Command

Last night Ben Davis was no match for Decatur Central in accuracy, height or speed. So Decatur Central hit from out on the floor to take an early léad, refused the Giants most of the rebounds and finally outraced them when the Giants chose to run. But last night was last night, and you'll never find Herman Hinshaw crying about a game his team has lost. He talked to the boys on the bench while the oppesing Hawks poured points, and it’s not likely that Ben Davis will make as many mistakes again. .Or that Decatur Central will make as many baskets gain against Ben .Davis. Bill Butler, Bob Lollar and Kenboys who turned the respectable victory into a rout. They played. breakaway in the final quarter to net seven baskets, which nullified - all the work the Giants had done to hold their foes to three points in the third quarter. At the customary stopping points D. C. led, 12-7, 24-10 .and 27-16. ‘Warren Five Falters

George Crane and Earl Shalley, forwards; Max Biggs, center, and Joe Pruewitt and Frank Roberts, guards, are the probable starters.
