Vincennes showed early potency as one of the powers in the 15«team southern Indiana league, but has been spotty in its floor play. The Hatchets are sailing along with three victories as pne of the few undefeated major quints in the

State. Question Marks

Many games tonight are question marks. Some appear sure things but this has started as a season of upsets, and tonight's pairings leave the leaders wide open for more upsets. Madison, also unbeaten this year, gets a breather in meeting a weak Lawrenceburg team, and is favored to take its sixth straight win, Two more undefeated squads square off with one another, Kokomo and Indianapolis Tech, which means that there will be one less unbeaten outfit tomorrow morning. Both teams are powerhouses and have captured State-wide attention as well as fear in their own Central loop eircles. If any contest can rate top men. tion on tonight's gem-studded card, it's the invasion of the Logansport Berries into the lair of the murderous Marion Giants, The wily Cliff Wells, Berry coach, saw his team fall for the first time last week in meeting a quint of Lafayette Broncos, rated one of the best teams in the State.
