Forty-four favorites in "Hoosier Madness

INDIANAPOLIS UPI —For-ty-four sectional sites in Indiana's 58th annual high school basketball tourney have favorities and the other 20 are toss-ups. That’s the way the UPI form chart had it 24 hours before the “Hoosier Madness’’ explodes all around the state. But don't let that “favorite” tag fool you. Some of these lofty quintets will be hauled down to reality and perhaps a premature “finish” before the 64 first-round champs will be crowned Saturday night. Last year, only 23 sectional titlists repeated and 10 brandnew winners cut down the nets, as victors. At the same time, four ranking teams also bit the dust in Round 1 as did four major conference champions. Nineteen of last j ear’s 64 sectional winners were classified as underdogs this time. Meanwhile, preliminary action in the Fort Wayne I sectional will be completed tonight when Huntertown meets New Haven and city rivals Catholic and Elmhurst collide in the night-

cap.

In Monday’s openers, Monroeville avenged an 11-point, regular season setback to beat Fort Wayne Luers, 65-45, and Fort Wayne Dwenger disposed of Areola, 66-58. Sectional warfare swings into high gear Wednesday night. Among the favorites were 2H. game winners Holland at Huntingburg and Oolitic at Bedford, the only two small-town unbeatens in the show. But the power-laden East Chicago sectional, which contains top-rank-ing East Chicago Roosevelt, city foe Washington, Gary Tolleston and Hammond Noll, was a natural for a toss-up, as was the Indianapolis Hinkle Fieldhouse sectional, where city rivals Washington and Tech and suburbia’s North Central sought the honors. Among the prohibitive favorites were Columbus, Indianapolis Shortridge at the Coliseum, Lafayette, Marion, Michigan City, New Castle, Richmond, Shelbyville, Southport, and Vin-

cennes.

Also favored were Anderson, Bluffton, Carmel, Valparaiso at Chesterton, Cloverdale at Clay City, Connersville, Crawfordsville. Crown Point, Garret at DeKalb, Elkhart, Fort Wayne Central, Attica at Fountain Central, Frankfort, Franklin, Green-

Knox, Kokomo, Plymouth at LaVille, Lawrenceburg, Logansport, Madison, Bloomington at Martinsville, Twin Lakes at North White, Rushville, Seymour, South Bend Central, Linton at Switz City, Tell City, Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, Warsaw, and Washington. Also toss-ups were the sectionals at Boonville, Brazil, Brownsburg, Columbia City, East Noble, Evansville, Fort Wayne I, Gary, Hammond, Jeffersonville, Milan, Muncie, North Newton, Paoli, Princeton, Portland, Winchester and Zionsville. Underdogs, defending firstround champs all, included Madison Heights at Anderson, North Central at Caly City, Greensburg at Columbus, Liberty at Connersville, New Market at Crawfordsville, Griffith at Crown Point, Hamilton at DeKalb, Nappanee at Elkhart, Seegar at Fountain Central, Delphi at Frankfort, Whiteland at Franklin, Bainbridge at Greeneastle, Wabash at Huntington. Oregon-Davis at Knox, Wheatfield at North White, j Oakland City at Princeton. South Bend Adams, Leavenworth at Tell City, and Garfield at Terre Haute. Greensburg had its own tourney last year but drew the misfortune of being transferred to Columbus when Shelbyville got its own sectional thanks to a new 6,000-seat fieldhouse. That ended more than 40 years cf the Shelby - Columbus sectional rivalry.

Greeneastle sectional tourney gets underway with Tiger Cub-Pointer tilt Wednesday

By FRANK PI CKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor Snow time is sectional tourney time and both are on the doorsteps of sports fans throughout the state and Putnam County area as the weatherman predicts at least a twoinch snowfall by Wednesday and sports prognosticators talk about a first game winner taking it all. The Green castle sectional kicks off tomorrow night in the

uptown gymnasium with the two predicted powers, Bainbridge and Greeneastle. battling it out in the first round. Bainbridge. defending champions with a sectional crown for the past two years, brings a 16-3 season slate into the game against Greencastle's 146 mark. Both were conference champs.

j castle claiming the Western Indiana Conference championship with a 7-1 record. The Pointers lost two of their three games to county-rival Cloverdale, once in regular season play and once in tournament play. Their only other loss | came in an overtime against highly-touted Fountain Central. Greencastle's losses in regular season play were to tough Attica in their opener by one point, to 17-2 Rockville at Rockville, to WIC foe Linton when the Cubs were plagued with injuries, and to Indianapolis Howe. During tournament play the local five dropped games to Thorntown, undefeated at the time, and hustling Mooresville at Zionsville. Greeneastle, the team that heads by a long list the number of sectional titles taken here, has had to take a back seat to the Pointers for the past two years and coach Dave McCracken commented he didn t think he would have much trouble getting the boys up for the contest. Of course the story is the same up north where the spirit reaches its peak when the Pointers take to the floor. The only advantage given to either of the two teams is the slight one that Greeneastle will play on the home floor. The Cubs have played nine contests on the uptown hardwood and lost their first one and last one. Fillmore, ending the regular

season with a 12-8 mark, has t* contend with Russellville's Bee» in the 8:15 tilt that follows th« first round. Russellville, claiming a 10-10 mark, downed th« Cardinals in the county tournament in January. Fillmore won their last game against Staunton and the Bees dropped their season final to Bainbridge. Thursday's tournament action puts Roachdale against North Salem. The Hawks have ended the season wtih an 8-11 mark while North Salem ended with a 7-12 slate. The Hawks beat North Salem 73-64 during regular season play. Cascades’ Cadets, Hendricks County representative in the local tourney, drew the bye and is slated to play the winner of the Greeneastle - Bambndge game. Their first action will get underway Saturday afternoon. Tickets for the tournament have been all sold in season ticket booklets, according to Greeneastle Principal N. B. McCammon. They were distributed according to enrollment, as advised by the IHSAA. The entirs tournament is held according to IHSAA rules the same as the other 64 sectional sites throughout the state.

NEW YORK UPI —Unbeaten Houston was named the No. 1 team in college basketball for the fifth straight week today by the nation’s coaches who also boosted suddenly-hot Kentucky all the way up to fifth in the 12th weekly ratings of the 1967-68 season. Hanging onto its slim lead over UCLA, Houston received 25 first place votes and 340 points while UCLA was named to the top spot on 10 ballots and amassed 324 points to trail the Cougars by only 16 in the voting by United Press International’s 35-member Board of

Coaches.

Adolph Rupp’s Wildcats, mired in the second half of the top 10 for several weeks, made the biggest move by any member of the select group this week, vaulting three places to fifth. Kentucky beat out surprising Columbia, which jumped a notch to sixth, by just seven points In the balloting

based on games played through Feb. 17. North Carolina remained In third place, far behind the two leaders and unbeaten St. Bonaventure held on to fourth. Rounding out the first 10 behind Columbia were New Mexico, which dropped two places, Vanderbilt, Duke, and Louisville, which returned to the select circle after an eight week absence. Tennessee, after two losses in as many games last week, slid all the way from sixth to 11th; Kansas, unranked a week ago, was rated 12th. New Mexico fell one spot to 13th, amd Princeton took over sole possession of 14th place. Utah and Marquette returned to the top 20, tying for 15th, Davidson leaped three places to 17th, Army fell four spots to 18th, Wyoming slipped slightly to 19th, and Southern California made its first appearance in the ratings this season, ranking 20th.
