MICH. CITY WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP CLOVERS PICKED BY INDIANAPOLIS TECH

Indianapolis Tech Ousts Cloverdale Clovers, 58-51

Michigan City Red Devils Down Washington, Tech INDIANAPOLIS UPI — For Michigan City and coach Doug Adams it was the realisation of a longtime dream. For Indianapolis Tech it was another frustrating experience of being cast

in the role of “bridesmaid.”

Michigan City won its first Indiana High School Basketball championship Saturday night, defeating four-time runnerup Tech 63-52 in the final game. Tech has never won the elusive crown.

And for Michigan City—who

hadn't even won a Regional since 1935—the sweet taste of victory was made even more succulent when senior forward Jim Ca dwell was named winner of the Tr ester Award. It marked only the fifth time In the history of the tourney that the Trester award for mental attitude was awarded to a member of the championship team. Other winners who played on winning teams were Bobby Plump of Milan in 1954; Bob Cantrell of East Chicago Washington in 1960; John Wilson of Evansville Bosse in 1962 and Eddie Bopp of Indianapolis Washington last year. Coach Adams paid tribute to the members of his team. “I always had confidence in these boys. I knew they could get the job done,” Adams said. Adams, who has been coach of the Red Devils eight years, said, “These boys played as fine a ball game as they played all season," he said. “It feels pretty good to walk off with the marbles." Adams also had good words for Tech. “There was one stage when they could have folded, but they came right back,” Adams said. “They battled us all the way.” “Bridesmaid” Tech coach Jack Bradford said there were two major problems with his Indianapolis team. He cited Tech’s inability to get the ball In the hoop In the third period

wtrtr- t- 1 "

and the delayed use of the pressing defense. “We soned as long as I thought we could. Maybe too long,” Bradford said. Tech was outscored 18-8 In the third period. “We had good shots, they just wouldn’t go In, ’ Bradford said. The Titans hit only 29 per cent from the field for the game. “You can’t win shooting like that” Bradford commented. Tech took a 17-15 lead at the end of the first period, and led | by as much as 8 in the second period before the Red Devils caught them and tied the score 30-30 at halftime. Michigan City opened the game up in the third period sewing 10 straight points before the Titans could get the ball in the basket. It was 48-38 after three periods. Cadwell and Tech’s Mike Price each scored 21 points to share game honors in the championship tilt The victory was Michigan City’s 20th straight and left the Red Devils with a 26-3 season record. Tech finished 25-4 for

the year.

Michigan City made It to the final game by stopping former state champion East Chicago Washington 81-64 in the first afternoon game of the finals at Hinkle Fieldhouse. Tech dropped little Cloverdale In the second game, 58-51. Cloverdale had been considered the “people’s choice" of the final four.

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor A tense 13 for 29 free throws plus a low .287 shoot» ing percentage lowered the boom on Putnam County’s Cloverdale Clovers’ chances of clashing into the final game of the IHSAA basketball tourney last Saturday afternoon as the Clovers bowed to Indianapolis Tech 58-51.

Chamberlain Gets Nod For 'Most Valuable Player'

NEW YORK UPI — Wilt Chamberlain broke a BiU RusseU stranglehold today when he was named Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball Association for the 1965-66 sea-

son.

Chamberlain received 48 firstplace votes and a total of 181 points in balloting for MVP honors by feUow NBA players. It marked the second time that the perennial league scoring champion has won the annual Podoloff Trophy that was formerly known as the President’s Cup. Big Wilt of the Philadelphia 76’ers previously earned the honor in 1960. Russell, the Boston Celtics' defensive standout, received the award four times in the last five years. But the rebound artist failed to come close in the latest voting as he drew only seven first-place nods and 69 points for fourth place. Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers received the second highest number of points, 101, and 16 first place votes. Oscar Robertson of the Cincinnati Royals was third with 14 top votes and 93 points. “This has to be the most satisfactory of all seven of my seasons," Chamberlain said upon learning of the MVP honor. The seven-foot, one-inch offensive wizard is the all-time NBA scorer with over 21,000 points. He was named the league’s Most Valuable Player in bis rookie season, and then took a back seat to Russell, who received mass approval from NBA players in 1961,1962, 1963 and 1965. Russell also was named winner in 1958. Other NBA action saw the Wsftam DivMoB champion Los

Angeles Lakers eliminate the San Francisco Warriors from playoff consideration by closing their regular season with a 124112 victory at home Sunday. The Warriors had whipped the Lakers, 125-119, Saturday in San Francisco. The bitterly contested game Sunday was tied six times in the fourth quarter before Leroy Ellis and Elgin Baylor directed a surge in the closing four minutes. Laker Jerry West set a new NBA free-throw record in the game, putting in 11 to give him 840 for the season, beating Chamberlain’s old mark of 835. West was also high point man, chalking up 35 while Ellis had 28 and Baylor made 25. The Warriors, who entered the game needing a victory to stay alive in their duel with St. Louis for third place, are now out of the competition. Baltimore will now meet St. Louis in the playoffs and the winner will take on Los Angeles. Whoever emerges from that scramble will meet the Eastern Division champion for the title. St. Louis stayed in the fighting ranks Sunday by toppling a determined Detroit s c q r i n g drive, downing the Pistons, 121117 in the Automobile City. The Hawks had a 38-30 lead in the first quarter and led 6856 at the half. But the Pistons came back in the second half and tied it up 91-91 at the end of the third quarter. At one point in the fourth quarter, Detroit had a five point lead. But player-coach Richie Guerin, who was high point man in the game with 37, led his team to a last-minute tally to give it to the Hawke,

DPU Atheletes Invade South For Several Sports Encounters

Thirty DePauw University athletes and their coaches shoved off Friday for a full scale invasion of the South. By the time the golf, tennis and baseball teams return to classes Monday, March 28, they will have skirmished in Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. Coach Ed Meyer’s 18-man baseball squad faced Middle Tennessee State in Its opener Saturday, took Sunday off, and then meets Valdosta State (Ga.), Florida A&M, Tampa twice and Rollins twice in back to back dates. The baseball squad finished 10-11 last year and has seven lettermen retummg including veterans at catcher, first, third and In right field. Biggest replacement will be the shoes of three-time all-conference pitcher Bruce Mackey. DePauw finished fifth in the Indiana Collegiate Conference in 1965 with a 5-7 record. Three of its four non-league losses were to Purdue and one of the

non-conference wins came over Indiana University. Middle Tennessee State also provides the initial opposition for DePauw’s nomadic tennis squad. The sixman crew met the Blue Raiders Saturday, faced Valdosta State today, then faces Jacksonville U. March 22, Tampa the next day. Stetson the next and winds up at Rollins on March 25-26. Most of the trip coincides with the baseball schedule. Ren Werrenrath, Carl Hirth and Gary Sullivan, numbers one-two and six last year, are back for the Tigers this trip. Coach Charlie Erdmann also has Kim Wincup who was number two two years ago, but who missed last year’s 8-4 dual season because of off-campus study. Newcomers who may make it tough on Erdmann’s veterans are Buzzie Pierce and Mark Smith, freshman numeral winners last season. DePauw placed second in the ICC last spring in tennis, the

James Cadwell Is

- # ‘65-66 Trester Award Winner 1

James Cadwell of Michigan City is the 1966 winner of the Arthur L. Trester Award for

Mental Attitude.

Presentations of the coveted honor was made by Herman Miller, Jeffersonville, member of the IHSAA Board of Control, following the championship game between Michigan City and Tech in the Hinkle

Fieldhouse.

The award was know as the Gimbel Award from 1917 to 1943 and the IHSAA Medal in 1944, before it became the Arthur L. Trester Medal in 1945. It is awarded on the basis of scholarship, attitude and school citizenship throughout the high school career. Cadwel, a senior, is the 50th

annual winner of the mental Attitude award. He was the unanimous choice of the IHSAA 1

Board of Control.

Son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold ] Cadwell, he scored 23 points for the Red Devils in their 81-64 victory over East Chicago ; Washington in the first game 1 of the 56th annual State Basket- 1 ball Finals. t —

The defeat was Cloverdale’* second In twenty-nine outings and gave Tech a berth In the final game of the tourney with tough Michigan City. City defeated East Chicago la the first afternoon game and then rambled Tech for the state championship Saturday night. After holding leads of 33-19 and 45-35 on the Clovers, Tech became the victim of a little over-confidence and saw a hustling Cloverdale team cut a third period score of 48-41 down to 48-46 in two minutes and thirty seconds of the fourth quarter. Tech’s Johnson connected on one, but before the Indianapolis crew could retaliate 5-11 guard Rod Hervey dumped in a twen-ty-footer that made it 50-48 at the 3:41 mark. The Clovers then hit Tech with a fired up press they had used at Intervals during the game, but Johnson was the lifesaver for Tech who dumped in

The time-out didn’t seem to other the Clovers as Roy andy popped into an in-bounds lay, swiped the ball from ech’s Mike Price, and drew a >ul. Sandy, who could have

ing when Ford slipped np and fouled the Titan ace. Cloverdale missed an opportunity when they took the wrong angle on three shots that came from less than fifteen feet out in the closing minutes. They connected on 16 of 46 shots during the contest while the Titans connected on 21 of 59 shots for a .355 percentage. Tech dumped in 16 of 24 from the line. The Clovers got off to a bad start in their first appearance ever at the Hinkle Fieldhouse. They connected on only 2-13 shots the first quarter and missed five of 7 free throws. Tech didn’t do much better by hitting on 6 of 17 tries from the field and shooting 1.000 from the line with 3 of 3, but the larger boys found their experience of playing the entire tourney at Hinkle helped them out. Tech came into the ball game with just the opposite of what Coach Bradford had talked about playing. Instead of using his tough man-to-man defense, Bradford hit the Clovers with a fired up zone that shook even the Clover offensive. Tech never did hit the Clovers with the press they had used throughout the tourney to shake other ball clubs—except two times. Both times they pulled off of the defensive real quick when Clover

As soon as the ball went into play Tech’s Mike Price and Stallcop tangled over possession of the ball and Stallcop drew a personal.

team’s lowest finish in the school’s 11 year association with the seven member loop. Purdue was among the dual victims baged by the 1965 squad. There will be only two familiar ftices on Coach Ted Katula’s golf squad that is set to play in the 72 hole University of Miami invitational tourney beginning Wednesday, March 23, after enroute matches at Middle Tennessee and at Rollins Monday. Tim Scott and Steve Hayes are back from last year’s 7-12-1 team which won first in the

five-team Wheaton invitational but came in sixth in the ICC affair. Rick Roessler, bowing out of intercollegiate action for a year to handle duties as student body president, is back for his senior season, along with freshman numeral winners, now sophomore, Randy Redfers, Wes Ground and non-award winner Bruce Spang. Nearly 20 college and university squads, including four from the Big 10—are entered in the popular pre-season warmup at the Biltmore Hotel course.
