They add also that Speedway has had remarkable tourney |success this season—undefeated in a four-way meet, the Marion County tourney and the sectional. They've played several common foes along this year's trail and Washington has come out just a shade better in this respect. ‘The Spark Plugs, for example, lost & 49-36 decision to Decatur Central while the Continentals won handily twice from the Hawks by 55-83 and 56-39 scores.

Indiana Plans Southern Trip
BLOOMINGTON, Mar. 4—A 28-game Indiana University baseball schedule, starting with a southern swing into Florida, and the appointment -of Robert A. Johnson as assistant varsity coach, was announced here today by Coach Paul (Pooch) Harrell. The Hoosiers will play at ¥glin Field, Fla., Mar, 26 and 27 and at Whiting Field, near Milton, Fla, Mar. 28 and 29, on the southern trip. Indiana's nine then will play nine straight tilts at Jordan Field, including the two-game Big Nine opener with Wisconsin, before hitting the road again. Johnson, a native of La Porte, played college baseball at DePauw and had two years of professional experience in the Coastal Plains League, where he played with the 1946 loop champions, the Rocky Mount Rocks.

lineup in Ralph Lollar, while two Speedway boys are over that mark-—Allan Wiecheéers and Bud Chambers. Speedway’s biggest problem, of course, will be the to double assignment of stopping Bill Niemann and Maurice Wilhoite, the goal-getting twins of the Conti~ nentals who led the local sectional in scoring last week. Konnie King, Speedway’s chief gunner, can’t quite match Nie mann’'s total for the season, but he can expect plenty of help from Wiechers and the other Spark Plug regulars. Man for man, or rather boy -for boy, Speedway probably ‘is a. more dangérous scoring combination than Washington. Both like to go fast but can play a set style if the occasion demands. They handle the ball nicely and rebound well, so regardless of the winner, the fans should see a close one when the two county rivals tangle for the right to go to the finals of a re-
year history of the IHSAA tourney.
Johnny Wilson Sets

ELWOOD, Ind, Mar. 4 (UP) ~Johnny Wilson, sharp-shoot-ing Anderson College center, set a new all-time scoring record last night for Indiana college basketball players, as he led Anderson to an 80-45 over Wilberforce, O.
