Mundie T Bearcat Coach Brings Memory 0f 25 Finals
Face Evansville In Opener J
By BOB STRANAHAN Twenty-five years ago this month Art Beckner was in Indianapolis with a Muncie Bearcat team which lost to Vincennes in the state finals by nine points. Saturday he comes back as coach of another generation of Bearcats, and if there's anything to, that old saw about “everything coming to him who waits,” then Art is overdue for a title. Beckner was one of the most popular athletes ever to come out of Muncie high school, a great guy as a kid and a give-all competitor. It was not surprising, therefore, that Art was contracted to be coach at his high school alma mater even before he finished Indiana University. Raymond.

from Bosse, 49-37 and 56-46. Muncie Central barely slipped past the Bosse team, 47-46. Lafayette was the only other mutual opponent of the first-game foes in Saturday's final session. Muncie lost to the Broncos, 4445. Evansville won at T.afayette in a holiday tourney, 65-51. Physically, there isn't a great deal of difference between the two teams. Evansville probably has more individual skill in the top three players, Gene Southwood, Joe Echwitz and Lee Hamilton, but Muncie seems deeper in reserve strength. Connie Mack Rea at 6-3 is the tallest Bearcat, and he got six field goals against Portland ih the afternoon semifinal. At night he didn't score. It was Marion Acton and Bob Newton who car-
