Tiger Cubs lose to rival Brazil 55-42
Bv STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor There are no more sure victories left on the Greeneastle High School girls basketball schedule. The Eminences. Monrovias and Cascades that made up a good portion of the 91 Tiger Cub start are in the past. Coach Kathy Pieper knew this prior to Tuesday’s 55-42 loss to visiting Brazil and her Tiger Cubs learned it on court at McAnallv Center. AFTER GETTING A lead of as much as 10 points in the first quarter. Greeneastle settled into Brazil's pattern, half-court style of basketball. That, plus a reluctance to shoot the ball and missing free throws, led to the second straight loss, something that hasn't happened at GHS in a number of years. •‘We're still getting use to offensive movement." Pieper said of the Tiger Cubs. "However, 1 was not displeased with our performance. We have to quit fouling and hit our own free throws." Greeneastle had the opportunity to break it open in the first quarter and a half of play. Brazil turned the opening tipoff into a layup, then the Tiger Cubs scored the next 10 points. Sandy Fox and Allison Leer scored Greencastle's 12 first period points.
Students and faculty show support
South Putnam wrestlers beat Cadets
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor After a two-week break a coach likes to see his team come back with a victory and an impressive one at that. South Putnam came back from the Christmas break with an impressive win Tuesday afternoon. defeating visiting Cascade 41-23 in front of the student body and faculty. The meet was conducted in convocation style, giving students and faculty members an opportunity to watch the Eagles win. COACH MARK WILDMAN was pleased with the win. "That’s the first time we’ve beaten Cascade since I've been here." Wildman said. ‘‘You could tell by watching neither team had wrestled for a while." Wildman thought support of the students and faculty helped at times and hurt at times. “It might have helped on some of •the close matches, like Pat Havev’s." the coach said of the 8-8 draw. “The kids weren’t •trying things, like they were trying not to look bad.” South Putnam received three forfeits from Cascade and led 12-0 before the first match because of forfeits at 98 and 105 pounds The third forfeit was a double, as the Eagles and Cadets forfeited the 185 pound class. TIM PHILLIPS POSTED South Putnam’s only pin.

Indianapolis still in running for festival
INDIANAPOLIS 'AP> - The executive director of the U S Olympic Committee says he’s impressed with Indianapolis as a potential site for the 1982 Na tional Sports Festival, but he’s still coasidering Philadelphia as another possibility Col F Don Miller added that the actual decision about the site won’t be made for several weeks
BRAZIL DIDN’T score for six minutes during the first period and Greeneastle lead 127 going into the second. Brazil started getting the ball into highly respected forwardcenter Lisa Hicks in the second quarter and with 2:58 remaining in the half the score was knotted 18-18. Again the Cubs pulled ahead and it appeared Greeneastle would lead by two at halftime. Just before the final buzzer the 5-10 Hicks put an offensive board through for a 22-22 halftime score. Greeneastle put on a display of overpassing in the second half. The Tiger Cubs were passing up eight and 10 foot shots trying to get one and two foot shots and getting their passes picked off by Brazil. Coach Pieper admitted a little intimidation. “We were intimidated a little by their jumping ability. Hicks and (Stacey) Pritchard are excellent jumpers and instead of faking them into the air and going around we were just passing off.” BRAZIL MOVED TO a 28-23 lead before Greeneastle tied the game 31-31. However, that Fox basket was the last of Greencastle’s third period points. Brazil led 42-31 when the final

“WE STARTED out flat like I expected after a two and a half week layoff, but we just didn’t pick it up," coach Hammond said Cloverdale was playing without benefit of Jill Swearingen’s 10.7 average at forward. The 5-9 junior is out with a sprained ankle. Cloverdale did lead 9-6 at the first stop but trailed 17-15 at halftime. Cascade pulled ahead

Pritchard netted 22 to pace the 10-2 Red Devils and Hicks had 15. Brazil’s highly regarded point-guard Nunu Jolliff did not play because of a broken hand. Greencastle’s debacle came at the free throw line. Both teams hit 18 field goals, but Brazil hit 19 of 37 at the charity line (51 per cent) compared to Greencastle’s 6 of 15 (40 per cent), including the front of several bonuses. From the floor Greeneastle hit only 37 per cent (18-48) and Brazil 53 per cent (18-34). Greeneastle won the junior varsity game 28-26.

Tigers to host Albion Thursday
When a team goes 2-6 some things are bound to change and that’s what appears will happen Thursday when DePauw hosts Albion at 7:30 p.m. in Bowman Gym. TIIE TIGERS BROKE a four game losing string with a 72-71 win over Grove City in the Frank Shannon Tourney over the weekend, but were blown out in the first half against Ohio Wesleyan. A strong second half showing made the final 93-82 score look closer than the game actually was. When the Britons of Albion came in Thursday, coach Page Cotton will make some changes. “Our whole approach to the game has to be more aggressive,” he said. “The intensity is lacking especially on defense, so we’ll try some different defensive sets. Offensively, there has to be more consistency.” Just one look at the leading scorers for the Tigers each game tells the story. After sophomore Greg Notestine blistered the nets the first three games, his high game has been just 12 points. Since Troy Langston and Tom Kmak shared scoring honors at Millikin, four different players have led the team in four different games (Mike Krauss 14 at Hanover, Langston 24 against Rose-Hulman, Kmak 20 against Grove City and Dave Hathaway 19 against Ohio Wesleyan). So, against Albion, Cotton
DePauw opens doors All DePauw University home games through the month of January will be open to Putnam County residents free of charge. Because of a smaller number of students on campus during Winter Term, which is through January, the general public is invited to help support DePauw basketball. Home games remaining in January include Thursday night’s game with Albion; January 16 against Illinois College; Jan. 17 with Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne; Jan. 20 against Indiana-Southeast, and Jan. 31 with Mac Murray. Starting times of all mentioned games will be 7:30 p.m. Shell leads league After six games Cloverdale Shell leads the Greencastle Independent basketball league by one game over Greencastle Manufacturing and Coverts. Cloverdale Shell is 5-1 while Greencastle Manufacturing and Covert’s are both 4-2. Marsh has a 3-3 record and Comer’s is 1-5. Hudkins-Pershing is still looking for its first win with an 0-6 record. True gets reward DePauw University senior Jay True has been awarded a $2,000 NCAA postgraduate scholarship, one of only six Division 111 football players in the nation to receive the prestigious award for graduate study. True, an economics and physical education major at DePauw with a 3.4 grade point average, is eligible to use the scholarship for graduate study at the institution of his choice. His selection was announced by Walter Byers, executive director of the NCAA. Not only did True excell in the class room, but on the gridiron as well. Holding virtually all DePauw pass catching records, the Bloomington South graduate was DePauw‘s Most Valuable Player the past three seasons. In 1980. he shared 62 passes for 921 yards and five touchdowns, good enough for fifth in all of Division 111. He also was a first team Academic All-American, a second team All-American in the Sports Information Directors poll, and a first team member of the same poll in 1979. True was one of three Indiana players selected: Thomas Gibbons of Notre Dame and Kevin Speer of Indiana were also honored with the award.
plans to put some new blood in the Tiger starting five. He has hinted that freshman Mike Krauss will start at guard, and junior Ron Huser, one of the more consistent players off the bench, will probably be at a forward. TIIE BRITONS OF Albion are 3-4 thus far, winning their first game over Denison, losing four straight, then winning their last two. Their most recent win was over Calvin College, favored to win the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association title. The Michiganers are small, but like DePauw, likes to run. They are led by sophomore forward Steve Niblock with a 13.3 average; guard Pete McKnight and a 6-7 center Jim Clegg are both averaging just over 10 points a game. Albion was a 10-12 last season and have a rarity of no seniors on the roster. Another interesting fact is that the Britons guard, 5-10 Tracy Garner with a nine point average and the leading assist man, can jumpr According to Albion officials, Garner has high jumped 6-11. AFTER THURSDAY, the Tigers go on the road for two contests. Saturday, DePauw goes to Huntington College an 6 Wednesday travel to Franklinr The Tigers will have a threegame home stand afterwards,' hasting Illinois College and In-diana-Purdue-Fort Wayne on consecutive Friday and Saturn day night games, then Indiana Southeast on January 20.
