down that will produce the cochampion of the Indiana Collegiate Conference. Both teams carry 8-3 ICC records. One will move to 9-3 and a co-title with Indiana State. The other will drop to third place at 8-4. Not since the last scheduled game of 1956-57 has the out-1

come of a DePauw game made three of its four early season so many so basketball conscious losses to college division ball here. DePauw needed a win in clubs. It romped over Wabash that 1957 finale against Val- 88-69 Feb. 28 to atone for a 12paraiso to claim the undisputed point December loss. It rapped championship of the ICC.

bound Indiana State, the Tigers have every right to share in the growing hopes they’ll be discovered for the post-season tourney. DePauw last went in 1957 and lost to Kentucky Wes-

The sole exception where retribution has yet to be returned is against Evansville. The last time DePauw lost it was 92-75 in Evansville on Jan. 27. Since then the Tigers have won eight

tory total is DePauw’s best since the 1946-47 ball club went 16-3. When the Tigers played at Evansville they played without their leading seorer_at that time—6-1 guard Dave Browning. He was out with a sprained ankle. DePauw did a fair job nevertheless. It trailed at halftime 46-42, went ahead momentarily after the break 47-46, and was down only 65-58 with 7:06

The decisive blow came from Coach Arad McCutchan’s second (Continued on Page 9)

By FRANK PUCKETT ir.. BANNER SPORTS EDITOR D-Day for sixty-four remaining high schools in the IHSAA basketball tournament rolls around tomorrow at 12:30 and Putnam County has two representatives who might make it through the battle and end up on the state's “sweet sixteen” roster. They are V Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs and Cloverdale's ft Clovers. ft Greencastle meets their toughest comW petitors in the first game of the Frankfort Regional, just as they did when they were confronted with Bainbridge in the local sectional. And although they edged out the tough opponent, Crawfordsville, in an early season tilt (78-77) the neutral floor might make a difference. The Cubs were down eleven points going into the final period in the uptown gym and with the help of a Jay Frye extravaganza, they bumped the mighty Athenians by one point. Frye netted his season high in the game, 26 points. Crawfordsville stands at 18-5 now and Greencastle is 17-6. Whichever team gets out of the tussle will meet either Lebanon or Wainwright. My guess is that it will be Waimvright’s Mustangs. They also carry an 18-5 slate, but their schedule doesn't j support any big names or tough competition like those of Craw- ; fordsville and Greencastle. Once again it looks like the winner might take all, just as it ; happened in the Greencastle Sectional. Cloverdale is in a different situation. They meet Washington in the first game on the Hatchet’s home floor where they won the Regional title last year. They are 13-7 for the season, but the losses have come honestly to Evansville Memorial, Reitz, and j Central, Fort Wayne Snider, Jasper, and Vincennes. They lost 1 twice to the Vincennes team. On the other hand Cloverdale is an experienced club and most of the boys know what it is to go into a big tournament i against tough competition. The Clovers were Indiana’s winningest | team for three years until they got caught by Rosedale this year. If they beat Washington then they have to face either Vinj cennes or L & M. My guess again would be Vincennes. The Alices are one of the top choices in the state to capture the coveted crown at Hinkle. Looks like a rough road to hoe.

WTiile I'm on the subject of impressive talent from Putnam County who are still in the IHSAA basketball tournament sports fans should take note of two former Putnam County coaches who also have teams in the running. Jim Miller, former Cloverdale coach, guided his team to their first sectional championship ever when Penn upended favorite Elkhart last weekend and Jerry Lewis, former Reelsville player and Roachdale coach, took Miami High School to a sectional championship by upsetting Logansport. Miller’s team will compete at Elkhart again tomorrow against Akron while Miami will meet Knox at Logansport. Both schools are recent consolidations.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Nine i regionals have favorites but the seven others will be toss-up tourneys when Indiana’s 58th annual high school basketball ! championship continues Satur- | day. That’s the way the UPI form i chart reads on the eve of Round 2 of the month-long hardwood spectacle. At least one brand-new | “Sweet Sixteen” member will emerge from the 48-game session—probably unbeaten Oolitic at H u n t i n g b u r g. Another strong possibility for a firsttime regional champ was at Logansport; and still another was at Connersville. Among the top favorites were Michigan City at Elkhart, Reitz at Evansville, Kokomo, Lafayette and Vincennes at ; Washington. Others were Marion at A n d e r son, Columbus, Fort Wayne and Indianapolis Washington.

j That left the following up for ! grabs: Bloomington. Connersville. East Chicago. Frankfort, Huntingburg. Logansport, and I New Castle. Among the top afternoon at1 tractions will be Carmel vs. {Marion at Anderson, Columbus i vs. Franklin. Central vs. Catholic at Fort Wayne. Holland vs. i Oolitic in a battle of unbeatens at Huntingburg, Southport vs. Indianapolis Washington here, New Castle vs. Muncie Central, and Cloverdale vs. Washington. The regional normally is a let-down for some of the "name” teams following secj tional warfare, but the biggest mistake the front-runners can make is to underestimate their second-round rivals. Thus, Lafayette, which only ' won its 25th consecutive sec- . tional, may find newscomer South Newton more than a pushover, and ditto Michigan City vs. South Bend St, Jos-

DePauw accepts bid in NCAA tournament

Wayne Bright, another former Putnam County player, looks like he might catch the eye of coach John Oldham for a starting position real soon. Bright is a sophomore at Western Kentucky. He led the school’s freshman squad in rebounding with 15 recoveries per contest and contributed 18 points a game. Using his two greatest assets, strength and a good shooting eye, 6-8 Bright has contributed much to the Hilltoppers’ fine season (15-7 thus far). His best outings of the year have come in Western’s runner-up effort in the Cable Car Classic and in the All-Sports Association Classic, which the ’Toppers won. During the four game stretch, Bright collected 40 points and 25 rebounds. Wayne is a physical education major hoping to teach and coach.

DePauw University’s basketball team will play in the NCAA College Division basketi ball tourney. That word was announced Thursday night by DePauw Athletic Director Dr. James ! Loveless who said he has ac- ; cepted the invitation on behalf of DePauw. The Tigers will meet an as yet unnamed opponent March 8 at Normal, 111., where Illinois State University is to host the NCAA regional. Indiana State has been assigned to the same regional with a fourth team yet to be named. Head coach Elmer McCall’s team has a 15-6 record with one remaining game here Saturday with Evansville. By winning the game DePauw would clinch a tie for its first Indiana Collegiate Conference championship in 11 years. A statement by Loveless in response to the NCAA bid said, in part: “DePauw proudly accepts the bid and looks forward to participation in the tournament. We have a fine young team and Coach Elmer McCall and the 10 members of the squad are deserving of this opportunity. The play of the team during the last six U’eeks has

been especially outstanding. Our entire universtiy commun- ■ ity is very happy about this deI velopment.” Coach McCall, who is having the best season of his 10-year career at DePauw, said: “The team and I are extremely happy and proud to have been selected for the NCAA College Division tourney. This invitation is one of the major highlights of a very successful sea- ! son. The squad has worked hard ! for this bid and I feel it is very deserving. Our student body and the community can be assured that we will be w-orking ; to be a proud representative of DePauw. Now, however, our next concern is beating Evans- ! ville Saturday. That would be another major highlight of the ! year for it would mean the co- , championship of the ICC!” DePauw last participated in' the NCAA meet in 1957 after winning the ICC on the last day | of the season with an 8-4 record. The current squad has won 10 of its last 11 games. It has avenged all of its losses to college division foes except one —Evansville. A chance to settle this account will come at 3 p.m. Saturday.

eph's at Elkhart and Reitz against Tell City at Evansville. Tell City inflicted one of three regular season losses on deposed state champ Evansville North. The small-town classic of Saturday’s tourney, often referred to as the one that separates the men from the boys, will be the Holland-Oolitic battle of unbeatens at Huntingburg. Together they have won 46 games without a miss. The survivor is expected to tangle with Jeffersonville for the title. Only two “Big 10” members collide in the afternoon—No. 3 Indianapolis Washington and No. 8 Southport in the second game at Hinkle Fieldhouse here. The key to that one is the status of ailing Southport star Gary Gegax. who played just long enough last Saturday to deposit two game-w inning fielders. Columbus, although favored, also was anything but a cinch. The fourth-r a n k e d Bulldogs had their hands full with Franklin during the season and the latter’s 15-game winning streak is the longest among major teams. East Chicago Washington emerged as surprise winner in that sectional and can expect strong opposition from Gary Roosevelt, if they meet in the regional finale. Three North Central Conference clubs do battle at New Castle, where the home floor edge could be the deciding factor. The UPI form chart, or a stab in the dark: At Anderson — Madison Heights over Portland. Marion over Carmel, Marion the winner. At Bloomington—Bloomington over Clinton, Brazil over Scottsburg, Bloomington the winner. At Columbus — C © 1 u m bus over Franklin, Shelbyville over

Silver Creek, Columbus th« winner. At Connersville — Connersville over Eastern Hancock, Jac-Cen-Del over North Dearbron. Jac-Cen-Del the winner. At East Chicago — Gary Roosevelt over Lowell. East Chicago Washington over Hammond Tech, East Chicago the winner. At Elkhart—Michigan City over South Bend St, Joseph's, Akron over Penn, Michigan City the winner. At Evansville — Dale over Mount Vernon. Evansville Reit* over Tell City, Reitz the w r inner. At Fort Wayne—Fort Wayne Central over Fort Wayne Catholic, Lakeland over DeKalb, Central the winner. At Frankfort — Greencastle over Craw'fordsville, Lebanon over Wainwright, Greencastle the winner. At Huntingburg — Oolitic over Holland, Jeffersonville over Paoli, Oolitic the w inner. At Indianapolis — Indianapolis Shortridge over Brovvnsburg, Indianapolis Washington over Southport. Washington the winner. At Kokomo—Kokomo over Bluffton, Northfield over Manchester. Kokomo the winner. At Lafayette—Attica over Frontier, Lafayette over South Newton, Lafayette the winner. At Logansport — Knox over North M i a m i. La Ville over Chesterton. LaVille the winner. At New Castle—Richmond | over Monroe Central, New Cattle over Muncie Central. New Castle the winner. At Washington — Vincennes over LAM, Cloverdale over Washington, Vincennes the | w'inner.
