TECH IN FEATURE TILT

Drilled TO the proverbial pink,
sixty -four ambitious Indiana high
school basketball teams today were
to battle for the right to compete
in the annual Hoosier cage classic,
the championship finals, at the
Butler feldhouse next Friday and
Saturday.
Tonight. sixteen of the 760 quin-
tets, which started on the long grind
last weekend, will remain in the
race, one from each regional.
Opinions vary as to the superior
ity of certain quintetS in the various
regionals, and plenty of material for
speculation is afforded.
inconsistency throughout the sea-
son in the play of leading quintets
has made the Journeys this year
exceptionally hard to dope" and
startling upsets today are not out
of the question. Two quintetS who
figured prominently in pre-tourney
title speculation were eliminated in
the sectionals last week, They were
Columbus and Horace Mann of
Gary.
Battle at Bedford
One OF the hardest fought region
ais in the state is anticipated at
Bedford, were four teams of appar-
emily equal strength are to battle.
Bedford, New Albany, Salem and
Seymour are the entries.
The feature event in the entire
state, however, is in indianapolis,
where two dark horse contenders
for laurels, Anderson and Technical,
clash.
At Marion, the Giants, Kokomo,
and Hartford City present a diff
cult problem, with Marion favored
by the home floor and the draw.
Newcastle and Muncie, two of the
oldest rivals in cage circles, promise
some thrilling action and possible
upset.
Rushville may stage a surprise
party in knocking off Connersville.
Frankfort may find jeff of Lafay-
cite hard to solve, and La Porte
and Washington Of East Chicago,
conqueror of Horace Mann, will en-
Hven the Gary event.
Thrills at Franklin
South Bend and Goshen are top
notchers who will battle for the
right to represent the Mishawaka
regional, and there is little to
choose between them.
Shelbyville, conqueror of Colum-
bus and Franklin will furnish the
thrills at Columbus, with Fuzzy
Vandivier's quintet given an even
break with the Shelby five.
Logansport, another title favorite,
may run into grief when it meets
Peru and Delphi in consecutive en-
counters. Auburn faces a serious
threat in KendalIWlle, and Vim
cennes, apparently in slump, viii
be forced to top speed by Bose of
Evansville.
Martinsyille is expected to have
little trouble with Wiley of Terre
Haute, their only strong foe.
Since their regional was moved to
Attica, Greencastle's chances Of
coming to the fieldhouse have di-
minished, but the Cubs remain ia
vored over Clinton, while Central
Of Fl. Wayne and Huntington will
battle for the right to represent TT.
Wayne. Washington Hatchets have
a clear path and no difficult foes.
