Hoosier Hysteria Starts Tonight

t In Sullivan

Tonight at 7 o'clock the eleven county teams will start firing for the 1947 crown. When the Sullivan Arrows and the Farmersburg Plowboys trot onto the floor ftr the first

game, there should be a ity uym. H. C. Gilmore, principal of Sullivan High School, who is in charge of the sectional, said yesterday that there was a slight possibility that there - would be some general admission tickets available for the games. He said that while there was almost no I chance that any of the ten county j suiuuis wumu return any iicKeis unsold, he thought that there might be some available that were not sold vin Sullivan. The tourney looks to be an evenly matched affair, with three or four teams having a chance to take the crown. With the record that they have piled up, New Lebanon and Shelburn look to be the outstanding teams entered. And, the way the draw is, these teams might meet in the pnal game for the champion-1 .ship. IX that happens, it will be the second meeting between the I Tigers and the Panthers, with 1 the Tigers a slight favorite. After all, New Lebanon has beaten Shelburn this season. Should Sullivan hit a hot streak as they did last year, the Arrows could upset the dope and sneak through. There is also a . chance that Carlisle or Dugger) might slip through to the championship, especially if one of the more favored teams .should take either of them too lightly, just to make things interesting. The Times will name an all-sectional team after the tourney is over. The Sullivan County High School Music Festival will be held in the Community Gym on March 7, it was announced today by Wilfred Perigo, music director of Sullivan High School. While all the eleven county schools were invited to send representatives to the festival, Mr. Perigo said that only six had entered. These are, Sullivan, K. Hymera, Fairbanks, Farmersburg, Dugger, and Carlisle. Perigo said that he sent invitations to all the schools, but that some of them did not reply, and that others replied but failed to attend the meetings that were held to organize the festival. ' There will be a free concert held In the gym on March 7. The concert will have instrumental music from a band of 200 pieces, and a voice program from 200 persons. In each case, the organization will be composed of students from the six schools entered in the festival.

The chances for the bill, even with two highly controversial amendments that may spell the difference between victory and defeat, reportedly gained strength after Gates appeared at the brief noon-time caucus of 87 House Republicans. "I read them the plank of the party platform which Says that the Republicans intended and pledged to divorce liquor and politics," Gates said when he walked out of the secret caucus. "Now it is up to them." It was later learned that he told House Republicans that he did not consider the two amendments controversial, and that as far as he was concerned, they could be left in the bill which was originally drafted at his suggestion.
