rs decided were

when the lads went to the shower rooms at the half. ’ Bill Garrett, Shelbyville’s fancy shooter ‘of the 1947 state champs, came into his own in the last half after doing a, lot of rebound work during the first two periods. Hs accounted for 15 of the Indiana points: in the last two periods but the voting scribes decided that Keener did an all-around better job at - both banks and in advancing the ball. So they voted Keener the “Star of stars” award presented by Eugene C. Pulliam of the Indianapolis Star at the conclusion of hostilities. Hoosiers Roll Along

Indiana rumbled along to a 60-33 leadership at the three-quarter juncture and the Hoosier boys still had 27 points left in their systems in the final 10 minutes. Several times they cut loose with devastating fast breaks which had three-on-two and on one occasion even had four-on-one,

Chief gunner for the Kentucky cause was Eddie Humpson of Lawrenceburg, who accumulated 17. of his team’s points.

The boys from the South fouled frequently trying to stop the Hoosier rushes and three of them were whistled out of action. Big Jim Gipe of Owensboro, one of Kentucky's top-flight performers in the prep ranks, couldn't find the hoop at the Coliseum and wound up with a lone fielder and four free tosses for the evening.

A lot of credit should go to Glenn Curtis, new coach ol the Indian~ apolis Kautskys, who smoothed the Indiana organization into a well= clicking team in the limited practice time given him. The summary: INDIANA (87) FT
