Tiger Cubs Will Meet Vikings In Semi-State Scrap

PHi Dells Plan Day Of Service
Indiana's 1963-64 season of “Hoosier Hysteria” is fast approaching its climax for the state's high school basketball teams. Only “The Sweet Sixteen” remain to fight it out tomorrow in four semi-state tournaments to determine which four net squads will compete in the finals at Indianapolis on Saturday, March
21.
Local interest, of course, is centered on the semi-state tourney of Lafayette where Greencastle's Tiger Cubs will battle Valparaiso s Vikings at 12:30 p.m. The second tilt pits Lafayette Jeff against Gary Tolleston with the semi-state championship being decided tomorrow night between the two afternoon winners. Coach Dave McCracken's Cubs, winners of two straight regional crowns, have their job cut out when they tangle with the Valpo aggregation. The Cubs have an overall record of 25-3 and the Vikings have a 19-8 mark after season and tournament action. Jeff's Broncos, coached by Marion Crawley, former Greencastle and DePauw athlete, are rated the No. 2 team in Indiana. Only the undefeated Columbus Bulldogs are placed higher than Crawley’s net tossers. Gary Tolleston with a season record of 22-4 is an unknown quanitity in this part of the state. However, “the men have separatedf ^ from the boys" and Gary is going to Lafayette by virtue of sectional and regional wins from an upstate area where competition is always tough Officials for the Lifayette semi-state as announced by the Board of Control of the Indiana High School Athletic Association will be Ken Blankenbaker, Thomas Dean, Ltrry Gradeless, Bill Larkin, Homer Owens and John Williams. At a joint meeting of representatives of Greencastle Police, the Putnam County Sheriff's office, the Indiana State Police, and the Greencastle High School Staff, the following plan was approved for the Saturday morning caravan of Tiger Cub Boosters to Lafayette. The caravan is scheduled to leave the senior high school building at 9:30 a.m. School buses will arrive at 8:30 to line up behind the team cars in the main driveway. Students who plan to drive to the building and ride in the buses to Lafayette should park their cars in the student parking lot. Sheriff Knauer will escort the caravan. Cities encountered along the route will provide police escorts through those cities. Note that Washington Street will be closed from Hammond Street to the Zinc Mill Road until after the caravan leaves. All cars will enter the school grounds through the Zinc Mill Road Entrance south of the football field. Drivers are asked to turn their lights on while driving. Please drive carefully.

William Meehan Is Club Speaker Professor William Meehan of the DePauw art department addressed local Kiwanians at the club’s weekly luncheon meeting yesterday. Discussing the University’s Art Center and the role it plays in community life, Prof. Meehan pointed out that the strong cultural influence provided by such a program as is offered by the Art Center undoubtedly helps attract new people and new industry to a community. He stressed, however, that the Art Center is something which the people of Putnam County should “involve yourselves in, not just look at.” The speaker, who came to DePauw last fall after previous teaching experience at Syracuse University and ten years in commercial advertising, cited four areas of the Ait Centers program which provide educational and cultural opportunities for county residents: (1) the Saturday morning art classes for elementary and high (2) evening instruction for school pupils; adults; (3> art services on an individual basis, such as the evaluation of private collections and the availability of student's and facuty members’ creative talents for poster design, advertising art work, and decorating: and (4) the Art Center’s public exhibitions, such as the current 14th annual showing of work by members of the Putnam County Art League. The Art Center is open all day and from 7-10 p.m. each evening for group gallery tours or indivual visitations, Prof. Meehan pointed out. President Abe Walton announced the selection of Vice President Charles Carmichael to be the official Greencastle club delegate at the Kiwanis International convention in Los Angeles in July, 1964. William J. Drescher. who is with the U.S. Geological Survey, Madison. Wis., was the guest of Dr. C. L. Bieber. Local Coeds On Panhel Council Two Greencastle High School graduates, Charlotte Erdmann and Virginia Padgett, have been elected to two of the three top posts on DePauw University's Panhellenic Council. Miss Erdmann, a member of Delta Delta Delta sorority, was elected secretary, and Miss Padgett, representing Alpha Omicron Pi. will serve as treasurer. The two junior coeds were elected during the past week by the 10-member council which serves as the student governing body for the university's 10 national sororities. Miss Erdmann's parents are Professor and Mrs. Cnarles Erdmann, 327 Highfall Ave. Miss Padgett is the daughter of Mr. William R. Padgett, 620 E. Walnut St. Solon Raps Bill WASHINGTON UPI — Sen.
