GREGG Popovich, injured M-Ville flash, played the second half and contributed four points.

Neither team had a player in double figures. Best for Merrillville was Don Swanson's nine points while Kerry Picket and ton and arch-rival Roosevelt ad Canaday had four shots the first half. Washington's Charley Mat vanced to Saturday night's championship game at the expense of Calumet and Gary 'respectively, an the afternoon thews blocked two of them. The other two were force shots from midway in the final quarter. AS HOT as Lowell was the third period, that's how cold it was the last stanza.

The Devils managed only five points, only one fielder and were outmanned consistently on the boards. Crown Point moved to an 11-point lead with 3:41 to go and just coasted in. John Schmelter, who scored nine straight free shots the last period, led Crown Point scoring with 17 points. Soph guard John Carter picked up much of Pettit's slack with 13 points. Lowell finished 10-12 but the win evened the year's record between the schools.

Merrillville came from behind the second time in two tourney games to sink ice-cold Griffith, 44-41, while Crown Point blew almost all of a 15-point lead before tripping Lowell, 64-49. Both games were witnessed by capacity crowds of 3,014. The M-Ville victory established its legitimate jinx over Griffith.

It was the third time the Pirates have beaten the Panthers this year and losing coach Harold (Red) Mack must wish he could play the game over, some other time, thank you. GRIFFITH scored 10 field goals on 53 shot attempts for a miserable 19 per cent. Merrillville did little better, hitting 12 of 43 for a 28 per cent. Together, the teams made a reserve-team like 22 of 95. The Pirates went into a semi-stall after they moved ahead, 35-31 with six minutes left to play.

Coleman, 6-5 forward, didn't get free for a shot until there were two minutes to play in the third quarter. He scored his first points of the game with 1:29 showing on the clock in the third. Coffman had four shots from the field for the game, all of which missed. He made four free throws before being asked to leave, along with ECW's Tim Wiergacz, with 5:00 to play following a brief scuffle.
