Hoosier football teams No. over 300

by KUKT FKEUDLNTHAL INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - For the first time ever, more than 300 Indiana high schools will play 11-man football this fall and practically all of them will kick off the new season by this weekend. The nine-member Pocket Athletic Conference in the "Deep South,” for years the bulwark of 8-man football, is expanding to the 11-man game, and a few names will crop up in the weekly results.

Haworth is Kokomo’s second high school. New Prairie is a merger of New Carlisle and Rolling Prairie at New Carlisle. Winamac’s football fling is its first, too, with a team composed of freshmen and sophomores. New in the Fort Wayne area are Heritage, a consolidation of Hoagland and Monroeville, and Carroll, which will play mostly a reserve schedule this year. Most of the powerhouses get their season baptism Friday night, with a Southern Confer-

ence clash between Evansville Reitz and Vincennes highlight, ing the program. Richmond at Muncie Reitz was fourth in last year’s final UPI coaches’ board ratings, Vincennes eighth. Both were beaten but once last fall, Vincennes by Reitz and Reitz by city rival Bosse. Richmond opens defense of its mythical state title at Muncie South Friday with All-State halfback Sam Stubbs and 10 other lettermen forming the nuc-

leus of coach Hub Etchison’s North Central Conference crew that swept through its 10-game schedule without a scratch last time. South Bend Washington, No. 2 last year and nursing a 16game unbeaten string, goes to Northern Conference rival Michigan City for Friday’s opener and No. 3 North Central of Marion County, another 10-game winner last year, hosts Carmel. The Panthers, undefeated in 26 games—the string includes two

ties—lost such fine players as quarterback Bob Hackleman, end Mike Vance and tackle Dick Pritchard, but coach Byron Weaver retained nine lettermen and a strong crop of last year’s reserves. Reitz, Bosse, Vincennes and New Albany were expected to be among the strongest outfits downstate. In the Far North, there was speculation East Chicago Roosevelt will be rough again. The Riders, No. 5 last year, open at Sandusky, Ohio,

Saturday. Goshen, which hosts Concord Friday, will compete in the NIHSC for the last year, It’ll go independent in 1969. Northwest Depleted The powerful Northwest Conference is depleted. Ten schools from Hammond, East Chicago, Whiting, Valparaiso and Hobart have withdrawn to form a loosely - knit group known as the Western Alliance. There was doubt, though, that the league can name a champion this year

because of schedule problems. The longest all-winning string of 17 games belongs to Attica, which hosts Lebanon in Friday’s opener. The Ramblers, with a fine 19-1 two-year record, lost 12 lettermen from last year’s club but coach Harry Basan hurled the challenge, “Our opponents will have to prove they are better than we are.” Mishawaka Marian owns a 15-

game winning streak and is defending champion of the Northern Valley Conference, starting its second season. Other better games Friday include Kokomo at Hammond, CoIambus at Indianapolis Washington, East Chicago Washington at Hammond Noll, Elkhart at LaPorte and Saturday it’s Indianapolis Chatard at bosse, Roosevelt-Mann at Gary, and New Albany at Bloomington.
