Six Putnam county high school basketball teams will be seen in action on the local gymnasium this weekend to determine which quintet will represent this section in the finals of the Wabash Valley tournament at Terre Haute next Friday and Saturday. Two games are scheduled this evening with Roachdale meeting Russellville at 7:30 p. m. and Bainbridgc tangling with Fillmore at S:.'!0 o'- | clock. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 p. in.. Belle Union will play the winner of the Roachdale-Russellville encounter At 3 o’clock. Clovordalc will take on the victor of the Bainbridge-Fillmore tilt. The two afternoon winners will then clash at 8 o’clock Saturday night in the championship battle. Officials for the local tourney are Robert Hold and Gerald Powell Rejiorts this morning indicated that each of the six competing teams would he accompanied by large delegations of fans. Although the Tiger Cubs are not entered, Greencastle fans are also deeply interested In the tournament as the county outfits are expected to give Coach Marion Crawley's basketeers plenty of opposition in the sectional later in the season. Based on their respective showing todate, Bainbridgc. Roachdale. Belle Union and Cloverdale appear to have the edge over Russellville and Killmore. However, the old "dope” bucket is easily upset and with each squad putting forth their best efforts, the games tonight and tomorrow should all prove well worth attending. BANDITS SENTENCED
