Orr THE BACKBOARD

By J. E. O'BRIEN

_ (First of four columns analyzing each of the 16 high school regionals. Today's ~ @olumn deals with the four centers in the Vincennes semifinal area.)

EIGHT SOUTHERN INDIANA teams that we didn’t expect to live through the sectionals are still. with us, ~ although actually the list includes only three dark horses. These are Jasonville, that sprung a 36-32 surprise on Lyons at Bloomfield; Winslow, which forced Huntingburg and Jasper to mothball their suits, and ‘Freelandville,

breaker of the Vincennes

sectional monopoly.

We rode the wrong horse

in five other sectionals. At Evans- _ ville, Bosse breezed through after

casMount Vernon ousted our Central

pears. It was Bedford instead of Sitchell and Jeffersonville rather an. New Albany. We were informed of Shelburn at Sullivan but the warning came too late. Bloomington topped Martinsville, »16, any season handicapper has come to expect as much in that sectional. In the New Albany regional Saturday, Salem and Bedford will meet in the first game and Jef- ~ fersonville in the second. On sectional records, the Stonecutters appear the much stronger offensive team, but we are inclined to believe this is another year for Salem to make a few baskets and break a few hearts.

A Vote for Jeffersonville

. EARLY in the season Seymour {couldn’t even make a battle of it ith Jeffersonville. Since then e Owls have bettered themelves, though apparently the Red vils have done likewise. We're oosing Jeffersonville “all the W Ay, but don’t expect this to furnish you with rent money. As a hole, this regional shapes up uch below its customary par. | Whenever somebody other than ayn Evansville team comes out of 1e Evansville regional, it’s likely tg; be hailed as an upset. Such .is§ not the case this year. Bosse ha rdly can be given an edge over ~ Tepll City, which was one of.-the stzite’s highest-scoring clubs durnpg the season and one of the i giest during the sectionals. FT. BRANCH, first opponent of _JTell City, repulsed Princeton inthe sectional, but the Twigs hardly can boast power enough to get into the semifinals. The same is true of Lynnville, winner in Warrick County where there was no one but Lynnville. Tell

| City, if you please.

Hurrah for the Hatchets!

Three comparative unknowns are grouped with our Washington Hatchets in the Washington regional. It appears, though, that Winslow had everything during the season but a press agent. And while folks down that.way continually yelled that the Eskimos would take the sectional, their declarations received little attention. Shelburn, winner in the - Sullivan sectional, also went unnoticed. Freelandville ranks second to the Hatchets offensively among the quartet and can brag about ousting the Alices. Vin-

. Roche's Winning Streak at Stake

Feature action on tonight's fourbout wrestling card at the Armory is a promised “give and take” tussle between Gino Garibaldi, 221, skilled Italian grappler out of New York, gd Dorve (Iron Man) Roche, 220; Jie Decatur, Ill, performer who has exed seven consecutive local

ches. : #Garibaldi, a “big time” matman, 5s been here twice and has beaten

: ay Eckert and Emil Dusek. He

boasts triumphs over such . es as George Zaharias, JumpJoe Savoldi, Dynamite Gus Sonnberg and Jim McMillen. ‘The match is for one fall, or 60 minutes, and tops a supporting pro- $ of heavyweights and light ‘heavies. "Ray Villmer, 224, St. Louis, meets Farry Kent, 230, Portland, Ore., for cné fall, or 45 minutes, while Whitey Wahlberg, 179, Minneapolis, opposes Dave Reynolds, 175, Cincinnati, for one fall, or 30 minutes. Also meeting for one fall or 30 minutes, will be Jules La Rance, 181, Montreal, and Buck Weaver, 180, Terre Haute.

In the Terre Haute sectional Jasonville will tangle with Gerstmeyer of - Terre Haute, and Bloomington will play Gosport. Jasonville’s biggest feat was ousting Lyons last week in a semifinal game. Coach Norm Cottom’s Gerstmeyer Black Cats limited its sectional opponents to an average of 20 points a game, which makes the Cats look good, con-

sidering their season record of 15 -

victories in 18 attempts. Bloomington should have won a few

Campbell Kane . . . he used to make baskets, too.

A COLLEGE BOY who has taken long strides in a comparatively short time to nation-wide prominence as a track runner is Indiana University’s Campbell Kane, a great middle distance runner who will perform at. the ninth annual Butler Indoor Relays, March 15. :

To Indiana he is the nucleus of the track squad. To Uncle Sam he is just plain No, 147 who will be drafted probably in June, although he is only a junior with another year of competition. He received his first running experience as a four-year basketball player at Valparaiso High Sichool where he accomplished more on the cage squad than on the track team. Since then, however, the two sports have been reversed. Kane is not an unorthodox run-

ner but he has a unique style in -

that he gives away innumerable yardage to his opponents. He prefers to run at least one yard from the inside rail. He cannot tell you why he does it, but the “habit” is likely an outgrowth of his strategy to race the field rather than the clock and to reverse his “kick” for the final stretch. He expects to reach his peak of condition about relay time, His coach, E. C. Hayes, has entered him as a member of each relay team for

and four-mile squads. 2a # #8 =

KANE WAS invincible on east-

ern indoor tracks this year and hopes to break his 880-yard relay record next month. Last year he routed the half-mile in 1:51.5, as anchor man on the two-mile relay

team, This was the fastest 880-

yard run ever made in the Fieldhouse. The lanky Hoosier has progressed rapidly since his freshman days when he placed fourth in a 1000-meter race at a Boston indoor meet. In June, 1939, he ran third behind Charley Beetham and Ed Borican in the half-mile at Princeton’s invitational meet, thus becoming the first freshman to be so honored by the Princeton athletic committee. During the summer of 1939 Kane took part in the National A. A. U. championships at Lincoln, Neb., - winning the junior 800-meters in 1:53, and placing second to Beetham in the senior race the following day. Hig 1941 record reads a- 4:13.3° mile and second place half-mile in the Big Ten indoor meet and a repeat in both events in the outdoor meet and the Big State meet.
