By Bob Barnet. Coach Scott Fisher's Burns Owls, ho carried the hopes of one-fourth a state into the state basketball finals, came back home late Saturday night, the finest season in the school's history completed. Burris, never before out of sectional competition, won 26 games and tost 4 during the 1938-39 campaign. Coach Fisher's crew beat Central irr the sectional to achieve a long-standing ambition. The team bowled over New Castle, Richmond and Kokomo in its rush to the state finals.

Clearly Far "Off Forum." The Owls were beaten by Franklin in the first round of the Butler Field-house classic, 31 to 25, but the defeat detracted but little from the fine record of the west side school. Burris suffered an off day, a fact that will not be disputed by any spectator who saw the Owls before their Invasion of Butler's big battleground. The Owls were much better than they showed against Fuzzy Vandiver's Franklin Grizzlies. Those who saw them rush through the powerhouse teams of the North Central Conference in their tournament drive know that Burris at its best probably would have beaten Franklin. And had Burris at its best played Frankfort in the afternoon, when Frankfort was so miserably off form, Burris would have beaten Frankfort.

Even those who had never seen the Burris team in action in previous games were able to see that the Muncie boys were far off form. Team Off to Poor Start. Tot during the game there were flashes of the Burris that won the Muncie semi-final, flashes of a swift and powerful team And Burris fans, remembering these brief flashes that sparkled in a be low-par performances as well as the great exhibitions of the Owls in other games, will recall with considerable pleasure the season of 1938-39 They will recall the one-man stand of little Roy Kilby, who took matters in his own hands with his team trail ing Frankfort, 11 to 3, in the second quarter and almost alone brought the Burris team into its only brief lead at 18 to 17. Coach Scott Fisher last night revealed that the Burris plans went sadly astray against Franklin. The Owls, fast and aggressive, had decided to rush Franklin all over the floor, forcing the smooth Grizzly Cubs to throw the ball and accordingly lose possession a fair share of the time.

But Burris started badly, drew unexpected fouls, and soon was far behind. Instead of Burris forcing Franklin to play the Burris fast game the Grizzly Cubs quickly took command and forced Burris, for the first time this year, to play a slow game that was made to order for Franklin. This unfamiliar and unwelcome style of play was forced on the Owls through every minute of action because the Owls themselves never could gain the upper hand. Lacked Sustained Drive. As Fisher said last night: "When we did get the ball we couldn't do much about it." The Burris outfit could not hit the basket and did not pass well.

Placed on the defensive from the start, Burris played the Franklin game, not its own. Fisher could not believe, he said last night, that his team had "choked up" under the pressure of the big event and the 15,000 customers. "My boys played before the biggest crowds in the state In their regional and semi-final games," he said, "and I can't believe they were thrown off stride by the big crowd at Butler." Yet Burris seemed tense through it all. The Owls improved their play only briefly and the lack of a sustained offensive drive proved their undoing. The Burris coach last night was warm in his praise of the Franklin team that eliminated his gold clads and especially of George Crowe, colored center of the Cubs.

"They had us beaten clearly under both bankboards," he said, 'and Crowe was the best player I have seen in years." Fisher saw the first three quarters Of the Frankfort-Bossa game and walked to the dressing room confident that his team, if it survived its Franklin test, could beat Frankfort. "But after the night game I wasn't Vi iri Tvtfwt so sure," he said. That Frankfort size means a lot." Fought All The Way. Fisher spoke with admiration of his own team. "They have more than pleased me," he said.

"They went a long way and I'm as proud of them as a coach can possibly be. I know and my boys know that they were a little better than they appeared against Franklin. That is enough for us. I am only sorry that my seniors finished their season a bit short of their goal, a state championship, but no coach ever had the privilege of working with a finer gang of basketball players Three fine teams went to Butler i Fieldhou.se with us," Fisher said. "We held one -of those teams to a six point victory.

My boys fought to the last whistle. That is enough for me." i Plans will be made today by Burris i Ed Stark, Indianapolis, 1,778. Harold Horn, Indianaolis, 1,760. Out-of-Town Boosters. Shell Oil, Nappanee, 2,760.

Morrissey used a sledge hammer to smash gambling equipment in raids early today on night clubs along Indiana avenue, center of the Indianapolis Negro district. The chief said they demolished a dice table and seized other furnishings at the Sunset Terrace. In a raid on the Cotton Club, Sea H. Ferguson, 39, Negro, the owner, was arrested on a liquor law violation charge. Chief Morrissey said he ordered white persons out of the places andl piannea to post police there to see that no others entered.

"We don't want any 'black and tan' resorts in Indianapolis." he said, "because they eventually lead to trouble." VALPO CO-CAPTAINS.

Lakeland, March 26 (JP) They might be speaking of the old family bus, figuring it might do another year, with the repaint Job and all, but when his teammates sneak of Fred Hutchinson, Detroit's, pT i hurler, with a casual "he'll do" or "I like him." it has a deeper meaning. It means the Seattle kid has passed inspection.

No wild-eyed raving; no fantastic promises. Just the simple opinion: "He'll do." One Big Ice Cube. What he'll do remains to be seen, but he has all the earmarks of a first-line pitcher. He's built like a fullback, and is just one big ice cube out there on the mound. He hasn't great speed.

His curve is just ordinary. But he has an indefinable something. It may be his variability. He never seems to throw the ball twice with the same speed of delivery, or of windup, and this constant shifting of gears is baffling. Also, he's a control pitcher who hits the corners, although the day I saw him work there was a mixup somewhere.

The batters were hitting the corners, all comers. It just happened to be one of those days when he was either missing the plate by inches, or handing out fat ones, but even at that he left the Impression of class. May Make Tigers Champs. The Seattle Kid Is the chief addition to a pitching staff which might pull-up lame and need one, although there also ia the chance It might come through to make the Tigers a working 'Instead of an Idle pennant threat. The infield and catching figure to stand up, with Hank Greenberg.

Charley Gehringer, Rudy York and Frank Higgins providing plenty of batting punch. But whether the outfield and pitching staff will stand up without props is a question Skipper Del Baker won't attempt to answer right now. The mound question Includes practically all the candidates, including Hutchinson. Despite his undoubted class, he's young and just making his debut, and it's hard to breeze the ball by a Jimmy Foxx with Just ballyhoo and fanfare as a change of pace. Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe, bark again after a sojourn In the minors, had a good season at Beaumont, last year and right now looks good.

Vernon Kennedy won nine in a row last year, then wound up with only 12 victories, so he's a problem, and a wild one. Veteran Tommy Bridges Is frail in stature, but not in heart. Cletus Pof-fenberger surprises even himself, so nobody knows what to expect of him. Paul Trout, coming up from Beaumont with a fine record, is a fair prospect, and George Gill may have a good year. The Tigers came down the home stretch with a roar last year, and might pick up where they left off.

They can't be figured out, which makes it even. Neither can the opposing batters until that jig-saw mound Btaff shows what it can do. Ft. Wayne Five Wins National Catholic Meet Chicago, March 26 (JP) Central Catholic High of Port Wayne, won the national Catholic lnter-scholastic basketball championship tonight with a hard-earned 44-to-37 victory over Leo High of Chicago. The crowning of the Hoosier five climaxed five days of competition among a field of 32 teams from many sections of the country.

Fort Wayne and Leo started off slowly, the first period ending in a 3-3 tie. Both began to find the range in the second quarter, the Hoosiers taking a one-point. 13 to 12, lead at half-time. Mainstay of the Fort Wayne attack all the way was Stanczyak, center, who poured 19 points through the hoop for high-point honors. PORT WAVNE I LEO G.

Postman Takes Walk Indianapolis, March 26 (TV-Harold Harrison, Associated Press sports writer, has been up to his neck in journalism for the past four weeks handling Indiana high school basketball. With the excitement quieted down for another year, he had a few days off coming so he went to Chicago to see the National Professional basketball tournament as a spectator. Frankfort, March 26 (JPh- Frankfort's "man of the hour" is Everett Case, coach of the 1939 state high school champion Hot Dogs. "It was great winning our fourth title," Case said today.

"It brought just as great a thrill as did our first. I had a great bunch of boys. I felt from mid-season on that they had a chance to win the title and we pointed for the title all season." But pointing for titles is nothing new for the 38-year-old dean of In diana prep coaches. He started handling championship teams while still in his 'teens, but never played him self. First State Title.

Case was a student in Anderson High School when he coached the Patricks of the Holy Grail M. E. Church to a state title in the 105- pound division. Between times he served as sports editor of the Anderson Bulletin and sat at the feet of Bert Hall who was coach of the high school team. Case graduated from Anderson High School in 1917 and attended the University of Illinois for a year where he learned more coaching methods from Ralph Jones, Illini hardwood mentor.

Returning to Indiana in 1919 he be came basketball coach at Conners-ville High School then went to Columbus for two years. He then en tered Indiana University but didn't forget coaching. To help pay for his education. Case coached the Smithville High School team. He went to Frankfort as coach in officials for a recogonition program likely to be held late this week.

It is likely that the program will be in the form of a banquet and a chapel honoring the Burris basketball team also will be held. Fishers gold-clads were the first Muncie team to win its way to Butler fieldhouse since 1933. Burris loses eight of the ten men who made that trip. Only Kilby and McKenzie remain. "Our second team was of average ability this season," Fisher said last night, "but my boys are rather young and we'll have to struggle next year." PURDUE GRID CLINIC WILL OPEN FRIDAY Lafayette.
