fers; Drftlotz Selects Huron'sTonrnament Squad By BILL PEJOIOIEII (Evening Huronite Sports Editor) for your confidence in us tat we prefer that such predictions Withheld until some time tomorrow That is the reply Huron high school basketball players to pre-touraament who hawe pointed an attractive picture of Miller and" Huron hifh school teams paired in the championship final of tomorrow's- Region 4 tournament at RedfleW. "And lust as soon you leave us ont of any such -premature reckonings" comes from. Miller where Capt. Donald Bentson and his- Rustlers refuse to accept the- finalist nomination with Huron's defending champions. Not that the Hustlers and Tigers not eager to be tomel loose at each wther again--Huron to avenge a late season overtime licking, MBfcr to prove that victory was faMBfesatoamUy fuMed by a 4eshe to gate bertk In the 1305 state toaznancart at MUcheD next week.

But those Miller and Rawon beys are weir venal arithmetic as well as fn BatkctbatT. They been taacht that wimber number one. Wrfeh means that the- Rustlers' foremast, worry la tomorrow afternoon's flnt round Joust with RedflcU. Similarly, the Tigers' Immediate concern is that at handling; Pierre their flist round adversary. Dopesters who favor Huron and Miller to collide in the Region 4 final are not their arguing point.

For, to follow their- line of reasoning, bas- net Miller twice triumphed over Redfield. its first round opponent. 'And to substantiate their contentious farther, Huron's 27-20 triumph over Pierre is cited. Personally, we prefer to lag behind the wise boys who are using past performances in elevating Huron and MUler into titular play. After witnessing events of the past season such a guess is too hazardous to be within the realm of sound judgment.

This despite Miller's two fairly decisive triumphs over RedHcld and Huron's conquest of the Governors. But shonhl the dope channel be followed and MUler square off against Huron in the regional championship final, any attempt to designate the 1235 champion definitely would be nothing less than folly. Fttrthermorc, should Pierre and Rcdfield swerve from the course charted for them and collide in tomorrow night's win-'irn, we would not be brave enough to hazard guess on the result. The schedules of these two teams dirt not. cross dating theJr 1335 cage travels.

If, though, a Huron-lamer Snat should develop and the demand for a. favorite designation be made, the maiority oE prognosticators probably would lean toward the Kustlcrs. This favoritism would be based not only on-Miller's recent victory over the but also in that Coach Joe Crakes' athletes will enjoy the benefit of a floor the dimensions of which are almost similar to the- court on which they have carried out their 1935 season assignments. This should prove of no great handicap to Huron, however, for the Tigers' 1935 campaigning has carried them onto several under-sized courts. Without single "weak the 1935 tournament CeSi appears to have better balance than any in recent years.

There is not even a remote likelihood that any of the four toannament coaches will dare to place reliance oa reserves In order that regulars may be rested for final round play. Tho nature competition presented places snch maneuvering beyond the limits of safety. This year's tourney lineup will be eiaetly the as last season when Huron's strong team defeated Miller in. the final game. In the 1934 tournament pairings were identical, Huron lining up against Pierre and Miller facing Bedfield.

Similar also to last season, the J535 tournament Beld Is one comprised of four teams which have made steady development during their campaigns. Huron, Pierre and Ki'field finished well up near the front In thefar conferences, while Miner, not now affiliated with any league, advanced wttb steady strides through 193S opposition.
