WHEN HAMMOND TECH won the state Champion. ship last year the basketball dopesters suddenly awoke to the fact that the far north plays creditable basketball, .too. The Hammond semi-final, however, will draw its : four competitors from territory as far south as l.ebanon, 80 there’s no guarantee the Calumet district will have

“another representative at the Fieldhouse this year.

The semi-finalists at Hammond will come from the Logansport, Gary, South Bend and Lafayette regionals. And the Logansport re- : gional matches secticnal winners from Logan, Peru, Flora and Monticello. Actually, things aren’t so bright for Coach Cliff Wells’ Berries this year. They've had more than their share of injuries and on two occasions didn’t score a field goal for 16 minutes. : In the past Royal Centre always has provided the most opposi‘tion for Logan. However, Royal Centre will have to get past highly regarded Twelve Mile in the first round, and Logan mug: confend with Walton. Your eventual winner shoul be produced in one of . these two games.

Remember Clay - Towriaiiip

AT PERU it should be the home-town Tigers. The Circus City club throttled Logansport twice this year and held Burris’ powerhouse to a six-point victory. Remember, though, that Clay Township’ . surprised ‘Peru last year and Amboy went on to the sectiolial crown. i We like Peru, regardless. The two favorites in the Carroll County sectional are Ilelphi and ‘Flora, and the draw placed them in opposite brackets, But before : the titular contest, Delphi must dispose of Cutler and Camden or ¢ Rockfield, while Flora’s foes will be Deer Creek and Adams Town- : ship, Carrollton or Burlington. It still looks like Delphi and Flora ‘in the finals. ? Supposedly the three strongest teams of the Monticello sectional are bunched in the first two games of the tournament. In those - Monticello vies with Monon, while Brookston and Round*Grove have to fight it out. Brookston is the defending champion, if you're interested. At the Gary regional on March 8 will be the sectional winners from La Porte, Morocco, Gary and Valparaiso. La Porte and Mich-

igan City are due to meet in. a semi-final sectional game and decide .

who's winner right there. La Porte has bested the Red Devils twice this season, by scores of 25-21 and 41-28. Michigan City, however, claimed some fame for a 49-43 triumph over powerful South Bend Central, the same club that walloped the Slicers, 51- 18. La Porte in & blind stab.

“A Dogfight Is Due at Morocco

THE MOROCCO SECTIONAL promises to be a real dogfight. Your favorites are Rensselaer, Brook, Remington and Morocco, with Brook and Remington meeting in the first round. Brock came through last year. ’ Transferring Hammond Tech's champions into Ihe Gary . sectional was like putting benzine on a grass fire. Right now Coach Lou Birkett is fretting over his two aces, Stan Shimala and Bobby Kramer, who suffered sprained ankles last Friday night. ‘Tne Tigers drew a toughie in the first round in Horace Mann, although the . Horsemen lost to Tech in season play, 29-24. Hammond High and Lew Wallace are the other strong contenders in the lower bracket, while the top bracket shapes up as a free-for-all. Froebel is in this ‘one, though, and Froebel hung one on Hammond Tech recent’. . We're sticking with the king—Hammond Tech. If the ranking Porter County teams live up to their season records, Valpo apparently has drawn the toughest trail in its home sectional. The Vikings open against Liberty Center and in the second round should meet Portage Township. Edison of Bast Gary, Crown Point and Hobart ought to fight it out in the lower bracket, . with Edison's Eagles the most likely finalist,

South Bend Central Fears the Hex

THE SOUTH BEND regional contenders will come from the Rochester, South Bend, Plymouth and Goshen’ sectional centers. “Rochester won last year’s sectional at Winamac and ought to repeat on its home hardwood this time. Everybody fears a jinx is going te upset South Eend Central’s big, fast, high-scoring Bears before they get out of the sectional. Of course, the Bears have won 20 of 22, taken the easterr. NIHSC crown and buffed around most everybody in the neighborhood. But ‘Johnny Wooden’s boys have been favorites for the last [cur years, and they didn’t salvage a sectional title the whole time. According to the records it’s Mishawaka’s turn to take the Bears. And Washington of South Bend may have something 0 say by virtue of its creditable season record. Yet Washington was a 49-22 - victim of the Bears. Jinx or no, we take Central. Fifteen victories in 18 starts—its best record since 1828. With that to go on, what's to stop Plymouth? Nothing that we can see. It’s Plymouth to repeat at Plymouth. : The break went Goshen in the Redskin’s home sectitnal. Nappanee and Elkhart are linked in the same bracket, while (Goshen is . favored over New Paris in the opener and either Jefferson or Middle- ; ‘bury in the second ‘round. Nappanee came out of .this sectional last year.

Not-Too-Hot Dogs Face Rough Road

SECTIONAL WINNERS from Frankfort, Fowler, lebanon: and Lafayette will converge at Lafayette for the regional. A tough road has been laid out for Everett Case’s not-too-Hot Dogs. Frankfort meets Rossville in the opener and if successful there has to take on Colfax’s county champions, losers in only one game this year. Colfax has size and scoring power—and maybe a sectional ¢rown to go with these by Saturday night. The Fowler sectional is wide open. The Bulldogs are favored, . but are being challenged by Otterbein. Freeland Park (defending ‘ champion) and Oxford. Fowler started off well, hit a slump and - now appears to be recovering. Fowler for no good reason. Butch Neuman’s Lebanon Tigers ought not have much trouble coming through their own sectional. Zionsville is the Boone County champion, Perry Central the winner of the Traveling Trophy, Lebanon the defending champion who should repeat. At Lafayette West Point, the county’s No. 1 team, bumps into West Side in the opening round, and Stockwell, the only tenm to beat West Point, plays Jeff. They're saying great things akout West Point, and maybe the Cadets will emerge from this one in spite cf the break given Jeff in the draw.

3 Local B Bors Lose First Stadium Fight

Four More Will Enter The Ring Tonight

By EDDIE ASH Times Special Editor

Gloves team came out on the short end in the 14th Annual Tournament of Champions before 10,000 fistic fans at Chicago Stadium last night and won only one bout in four. Robert Simmons, lightweight, 185 pounds, was the lone Indianapolis victor and he prevailed over Jimmy Timoteo of the strong Cleveland squad by taking a close decision.

Simmons gained a shade in the first and third rounds and broke even in the sec- - ond. Little damage was inflicted in this match since .most of the : action was lim-

However, of the few hard punches scored, Simmons delivered them. Elmo Latta, flyweight; A. C. Lee, Robert Simmons Pantamw eight, and Earl Paul, featherweight, were eliminated in their first start, all by decision. Four more Indianapolis Golden Glovers go under fire here tonight and upon their showing depends the success of the team from the Hoosier capital. These boys had a vacation last night -while the boxers in the four lighter weights held the tournament stage. Locals Go Tonight Fighting tonight from Indianapolis will be James Sherron, welterweight, 147 pounds; Billie Jones, middleweight, 160; Willard Reed, light heavyweight, 175, and Charles Duncan, heavyweight. With tonight’s action confined to competition in the four heavier divisions, the knockout, business is expected to increase on a large scale. Drawings for the matches were to be held this afternoon after the weigh-in and physical examinations. This is the first time Sherron and Jones have fought in the tournament of champions.’ Reed fought here in 1939 and 1940 and Duncan performed at Chicago Stadium in 1939. Reed was a middleweight his first year and Duncan competed in the 175-pound class two years ago. Tonight's bouts will be over the customary distance, three rounds, two minutes to the round. Latta Beaten Elmo Latta’s only chance to win was by a knockout but he didn’t carry enough dynamite to turn the trick and his opponent, Paul Carbetta, of Cleveland annexed the decision by a safe margin. Carbetta proved the superior boxer and in the second round he put Latta on the deck for the nine count. The Indianapolis fly-weight was caught by a right-hander and the punch landed with a lot of power. That lost the bout for Elmo. He made a courageous effort to come from behind in the third and last session but the Clevelander was tco wary for him and there was no doubt about the decision. . According to the slips turned in by the judges and referee, Carbetta was ahead in every round although it was a good fight due to Latta’s willingness to mix it. As a matter of fact, he kept moving in and lost only because his foe had the more experience and the superior reach. Carbetta is 19 years old and Latta 17. Later in the night Carbetta also disposed of Eddie Dames of St. Louis by a decision. A. C. Lee, bantam-weight, was the second Indianapolis lad eliminated from the tournament. He tangled with Edward Bradley of Dayton, O., and although nothing much happened at any time during the three sessions, the Buckeye received the nod when the votes of the officials were counted. Lee’s best round was the second

and made a rousing fight of it. The Dayton boxer threw more gloves in the third round and apparently convinced the judges he had the .| better ammunition. . * After winning the first round by scoring a brief knock-down in the first - canto by finding the target with a left hook, Earl Paul, the Indianapolis feather-weight, lost his pep and aggressiveness and the decision was taken by Frank Crow.

Central Closes With Spartans

Coach Harry C. Good will take his Indiana Central College Greyhound net squad to North Manchester tomorrow night to meet the Spartans in a return conference tilt. The Greyhounds, undefeated in Indiana College Conference play, will attempt to make it two straight over the Spartans this year, having

already beaten them by a score of 51 to 42 on Jan. 18.

A victory in this contest will end the 1940-41 schedule for the Greyhounds, unless a post-season game is arranged to decide the Conference lead. The Central quintet, providing they get past Manchester, will. have lost only one contest this vear, that being to a non-Con-ference foe, Illinois State Normal. In last night's state college games, St. Joseph's defeated St. Francis at Brooklyn, 57-47; Evansville College humbled Oakland Oly, 66-39; Anderson edged Huntington, 3937; Rose Poly slapped Earlham, 54-38, and Eastern Illinois Teachers nosed out Central Normal, 39-38. St. Joe lost an early lead over its Brooklyn foe, then fought

back in the second half to Bill. Euiptazh overcome a 26-20 deficit. Neil Mosser’s 20 points gave him a new Indiana Conference high of 320. Evansville’s Wilford Doerner, scored 20 against Oakland City to raise his season total to 292. A teammate, Harold Montgomery, flipped in 22 and Bill Spradley of Oakland City, who gathered 68 points in a single game last week, totaled 13 points for the losers.

Humsleet’s field goal in the last. minute was responsible for Huntington’s triumph after Glen Longenbaugh’s basket for Huntington had deadlocked the game at 37-37. Rose Poly’s victory gave the Engineers an Indiana Conference record of five-and-four. Bill Kniptash, former Manual High School star, tossed in eight baskets for the Engineers. "Bill Glenn’s free throw in the final minute broke a 38-38 tie and gave Eastern Illinois its triumph over Central Normal. Céntral Normal outscored its visitors from the field but couldn't match them at

the gift bar.

They are to be given the advantage of tutoring in the Indians’ camp and a year or so of conditioning in slower company. Both served their first year in professional baseball last season. : The Indians’ management also announced today the outright release of veteran hurler John Wil-

Big Ten Title Due to Leave Hoosier State

Badgers Already Sure Of Half of It

Wisconsin could do no wrong and Indiana could do no good. And that's why the Big Ten basketball title in all probability will leave the state we Hoosiers like to think is

its proper home.

The Fireball Five’ 38-30 defeat at Bloomington last night may have been a jolt to our state pride, but we're supposed to appreciate good basketball teams. That Coach Bud Foster has in Wisconsin uniform. Big Gene Englund is troublemaker enough in himself, and with four companions capitalizing on all opportunities and hitting a commendable percentage of shots, the Badgers leave little to be asked for, Moreover, they refused to let Indiana run or get under the basket.

BIG TEN STANDINGS . *

SRIDANL m-

fet

The Hoosiers, on the other hand, missed shot after shot, among these several of the choice set-up variety. They were stymied in much the same fashion as they had been at Purdue several weeks ago. The game itself can properly be divided into three periods. The first was an era of disaster while Coach Branch McCracken’s lads were trying to solve Englund’s un-der-the-basket tricks, Here it was the big ‘Gene dropped in three field goals and three free throws to shoot: Wisconsin into a 17-9 lead. Then a plan of defense was evolved: to stop Englund. Bill Menke made the job a personal assignment and was enjoying some degree of success by keeping Englund and ball from meeting. But sophomore John Kotz, Charles Epperson and Fred Rehm weren't effectively blockaded and they. continued to pour points until the Badgers led, 31-18.. I. U. Gets Reckless Defense had been Indiana's chief concern up until now with the result that its fast break nearly had been forgotten. So when the Hoosiers trailed by 13 points, they threw caution to the winds, resorting to their favorite fire-department style. Lean Andy Zimmer scored four baskets to spark this late attack, which was still eight points shy, To make its half share of the title a full share, Wisconsin will have to beat the only team to defeat it in the Big Ten this year— third place Minnesota. =A victory over Minnesota Saturday night would give the Badgers a won and lost record of 11 and one and the best Indiana can do now is 10 and two. If Minnesota can rise up against the champions a second time, Indiana can tie for the title by defeating both Purdue and Chicago Purdue licked the Hoosiers at Purdue and their return match comes up at Indiana Saturday night, . Gophers Hold Third Place

Also scheduled Saturday are Michigan (5-6) at Ohio State (6-5), Chicago (0-10) at Illinois (6-5) and Iowa (3-7) at Northwestern (2-8). Minnesota remained in third | place by defeating Chicago, 56 to 24, for its seventh victory in 10 games; Illinois moved into a fourth place tie with Ohio State by defeating the Bucks, 53 to 36, and Purdue’s 1940 champions climbed into sixth place by nosing out Iowa, 52 to 49, in two overtimes, and Michigan won its fourth in a row,

defeating Northwestern, 45 to 39.
