The select 10 continue nOStllltleS
semifinals, but where are those do
ways manage to upset" their way ]
Where are the Beaver Dams, the
towns, WinamacS, ct cetera, this time
They just didn't make it, that's
all For some unfathomable rea-
son, all the quintets surviving for
the semi-final wars appeared i'm
pressive enough during season play
that their regional victories can not
be considered surprises. Conse-
quently, the approaching Journeys
will be big name" affairs, which is
fortunate break for those officials
interested in attendance figures.
Muncie Lone 'Holdout'
Just look at the field! There's
Frankfort, Newcastle, Martinsville,
Washington, Logansport and An
derson-six of the schools which
have won the championship within
the last seven years! Muncie, king
in 1881, was one of the few upset
victims in first round regional play,
bowling to Green's Fork.
One other former champ hoping
to repeat is Charlottesville. C'ville's
supremacy dates back to the very
genesis of the annual tourney-1911.
In addition, there's Shelbyville, a
semi finalist at the Ffeldhouse last
year; Connersville, consistent
guest at the final party; Riley of
South Bend, power up north;
Froebel of Gary, an outstanding
member of the Northern Indiana
Conference; New Albany, rarely
beaten this season; Kokomo, con-
queror of Tipton-'nuff said; Fort
Waynes high-scoring Central club;
EvanSvilleS well-balanced Central
crew, and Warsaw, which has
nothing to brag about nor to be
ashamed of in the way of a season
record.
Seminal assignments of the
high-riding quints promise at
least two tumuItuous battles out of
the three to be played in each Sec
tor.
Battles, Battles Everywhere
At the Tech gym here, Anderson
is slight favorite over Connersville
and Charlottesville may easily sur
prise Shelbyville. Martinsville and
Washington may be in for a see
saw tilt at Vincennes. New Albany
is favored over Evansville, but the
night fray should be a. dandy.
Frankfort and Logansport are
likely to furnish the fireworks in
the titular tussle at Gary, though
Riley and Froebel may cause unex-
pected trouble. Kokomo and Gen.
trail of Ft. Wayne never have met
on a basketball floor, but their get
acquainted party at Muncie looms
as a natural
II Newcastle rOmpS over Warsaw
as expected, what's going to hap
pen when the Trojans take on the
Kokomo-Central survivor?
CHORT SHOTS Your cor
~ respondent is still enjoying his
ride atop fast-moving bandwagon,
having tabled MartinSville to finish
on top. The agile Artesians
drove through their regional in re-
assuring style. They haven't
landed on the underside of a score
since Jan. when they were deci-
stoned by Frankfort in blind tour
nament. There's that Frank
fort gang again. It's possible
for MartinSville and Frankfort to
meet in the very final fling of the
finals, you know. Wow!
Glen Curtis has well-balanced
bunch of Artesians. In their
regional opener against Linton, Phil
Harris, guard ia Drawn, totaled II
points; Holler, stable center, got
IL; Melvin Farr, forward of the
small and speedy species, tackled on
8; Norman, dependable forward,
contributed TO- Points at night
against Wiley were Farr, 20; Holler,
II; Norman. IL, and Harris, 2. Neal,
the other guard, got only one point
in both games, but he is the defen-
Slve Stabilizer of the team
Forest Weber, Plainfields 6-6
center, made up for lost energy by
consuming two jumbo steaks with
all the trimmin's after the final
game at Anderson Weber'S
team mates also consumed food in
healthy quantities at an Anderson
taurant-all, that is. except
Newly, misunderstanding guard
Newly received a crack on the nog-
gin during the afternoon Greenfield
scrap and played through the An
derSon game with a throbbing
headache +. he didn't feel much
like joining in the after battle
feast. :.
Superior foul shooting turned the
trick for Paoli in that third over
time against Bedford The score
was 28-all at the end of regular
time, and neither scored until the
free-throw session began. Tip
ton was ahead in that upset deluxe.
q to 20, but couldn't keep going
while Kokomo grabbed off four
points and the verdict. AS Ko-
komo, twice beaten by Upton, was
backing up the old adage: "You
amt beat good team three times
straight" Washington was knocking
it by taking the measure of Vim
cennes for the fourth consecutive
time this season.
There are several adages that are
debstable when applied to our state
tourney, but it's certain there's no
argument about the nonsense of
that crack: IF you don't at first
succeed, try, try again"
