Fans in Suspense as Madison Defeats South Bend Central, 72-56 Madison defeated South Bend Central. That was heard all over the state the day after Madison upset Central, 72-56, in the 1951 sectional tourney. The upset was so great that Madison even made the headlines of the Indianapolis Star. It was the first time in history that Madison con- quered a Central team. Madison literally outran Central, which is noted for its fast-breaking teams. At the end of the first half Madison led 31-29, but then they forged ahead on the sensational shooting of Jack Schmeltz to lead 54-43 at the end of the third quarter. Madison was never headed after that. Jack Schmeltz led Madison with 35 points before fouling out late in the game. Davis was high for Central with 17 points. Before playing Central, Madison beat Greene, 77-48. In the semi-finals Madison outscored Walkerton, 59-52., only to be trounced by Washington- Clay with Don Schlundt, 76-49.
