HS Tourneys Open Today
Topeka, March 17—(UP)—The Kansas high school basketball championships opened today, and in Class AA it was tall and talented Newton against the field.
Twenty-four games will be played over an 11-hour stretch today in three Kansas cities, Topeka, Salina and Hutchinson, as cage clubs in three divisions seek state titles. Tall Railroaders Favored
Fielding a lineup averaging more than 6 feet 4 inches in height, the unbeaten, untied and seldom extended Newton Railroaders were the odds—on favorites to annex their 10th Kansas championship.
Any surprise derailment likely would be caused by either the Salina Maroons, the Ward Cyclones or the Shawnee-Mission Indians, former state champions themselves.
At Salina in Class A scuffling the only 1947 state titlist is back to defend its laurels in this year's tournament—a strong Bubler team. Arrayed in the same lineup there is unbeaten Beloit, whose single loss in the last two years was to Bubler in the final a year ago.
Among the 16 Class B teams at Hutchinson, Sharon is the only former state championship winner. Apparently a wide open scramble, the "B" eliminations have only three teams back from those competing in the state tournament last year—Louisburg, Mulvane and Ulysses.
Start At 12:30 Today
The four-day state tourneys open at 12:30 p.m. with this lineup of games:
Then at hour and 10 to 15-minute intervals, the 48 teams—cream of the 630 that play basketball in Kansas high schools—contest each other until nearly midnight.
Pittsburgh vs. Arkansas City at Topeka, Augusta vs. Owatatom at Salina, and Sharon vs. Jetmore at Hutchinson.
The daily sessions taper off in length as the teams are eliminated until only two night games are played on Friday and Saturday evenings.
