Millikin brings its streak to town against 0-2 Tigers
A pair of two-game streaks will be on the line tomorrow night when Millikin College invades the friendly confines of Bowman Gym to take on the Jigers of DePauw University. Millikin, 2-0 on the young season, features the spectre of 0-5 forward Wayne Dunning. On the year. Dunning is averaging 17 points and 19 rebounds per contest, the latter buoyed by a 26-rebound game against Illinois College this week. Millikin won that game 80 65 and won their opener 93-70 over Mac Murray. DINNING IS MILLIKIN’S only double figure scorer so far, but is not the team’s only threat. Returning starters for the visitors include 6-5 forward Jeff Sams, and 5-10 guard Craig Patton. The other two starting positions will be filled by 6-1 guard Roscoe Boykin and 6-3 forward Mike Brown, who averaged 4.9 points and 4.4 rebounds last season before being declared ineligible. Other names to look for include junior college transfers John Houpt, a 6-6 forward and Eddie Taylor, a 5-11 guard; Rick Reynolds, a 6-4 forward and 6-5 Greencastle High School
Hoop Shoot winners chasing state title The competition will get tougher for six Putnam County youth Saturday when they shoot in district competition of the national Elks Hoop-Shoot Contest at Frankfort. The first place winners (one boy and one girl) from each of the three age brackets from the Putnam County Hoop Shoot Contest, held at South Putnam High School, will be shooting their 25 free throws for a shot at a state championship. ADVANCING FROM the Greencastle Elks Lodge sponsored local contest in the eight and nine year old boys age group was Brock Barnhart of Russellville and for the girls, Kim Archer of Greencastle’s Jones’ Elementary School. Tege Lewis of Reelsville won the 10 and 11 year old boys age group and Tracy Gorham of Greencastle’s Northeast Elementary School, won the girls competition. Brett Goff of North Putnam won the 12 and 13 year old boys competition and Janetta Sinnett of North Putnam won the girls shootout. THE FIRST PLACE winners, along with the runners-up will be honored with a dinner and receive their trophies Dec. 8 at the regular monthly meeting of the Greencastle Elks Lodge. Runners-up in the contest were: Duane Emery of Greencastle’s Northeast Elementary School, Vickie Whitings of Cloverdale, Eric Twigg of Greencastle’s Ridpath Elementary School, Stacy Broadstreet of Fillmore, Troy Greenlee of South Putnam and Kim McKinley of South Putnam. Three teams unbeaten Marsh, Cloverdale Shell and MaGoo’s are all off to 2-0 starts in the Greencastle Independent Basketball league. Marsh thrashed Hudkins-Pershing Accounting 90-68 as Fred Crawley scored 32 points and Bill Heeke 26 for the winners. Monty Montgomery paced Hudkins-Pershing with 33 points McGaughey scored 24 points, Fowler 22 and Pearson 20 as Cloverdale Shell scored an 83-82 victory over Hunter Johns. Chuck Lyons led Hunter Johns with 22 points and Recco Rooker netted 17. Former DePauw University center Troy Langston scored 26 points and Mike Brown put in another 22 as MaGoo’s defeats Blacks' 99-70. Jim Black led his team with 19 points and Chris Query had 16.
Wooden's rule leads to UCLA defeat
By KEN RAPPOPORT AP Sports Writer Down through the years, UCLA's basketball team owed most of its success to John Wooden. Thursday night, the Bruins could partly blame him for a defeat. The newly-instituted alternate-possession rule in college basketball this season, long advocated by the one-time UCLA coach, helped send the eighth-ranked Bruins down to a 57-54 defeat by Rutgers. “John Wooden helped us win tonight because he advocated the rule change,” said Rutgers Coach Tom Young after the upset at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, N.J. “I hate it myself, but I loved it tonight.” Here’s what happened: UCLA’s Michael Holton had hit two free throws with 15 seconds left to cut the Rutgers lead to 55-54. Rutgers then inbounded under the UCLA basket with six seconds to play. Mike Sanders stole the pass and the Bruins worked the ball around to Holton, who threw up an errant 12-foot shot. UCLA’s Mike Sanders and Rutgers’ Chris Nieberlein tied up under the basket and under the old rule, a jump ball would have been called. But Rutgers got possession under the revised rule that teams alternate inbounding instead of throwing the ball up after a tieup. The Scarlet Knights’ Brian Ellerbee then dribbled the length of the court and put in a layup for the final margin. In other games involving the nation’s ranked teams, No. 1 North Carolina turned back Tulsa 78-70; 13th-ranked Arkansas .walloped San Diego State 85-68 and 18th-ranked Nevada-Las

graduate Tony Robertson. But Dunning, an all-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin selection last season, is the big gun. “WE WILL HAVE to concentrate on him,” DePauw assistant Jim Zalacca said, “we will have to be aware of where he is at all times, and we will have to work hard to box him out. We will apply defensive pressure on their front people and maybe keep him eight to 10-
feet from the basket instead of five-feet. He’s a real good player, and we’ll have to work hard on him.” Another new twist to the Tigers will be Millikin’s threeforward offense - but not as new as one might think. “We’ll have to make some adjustments to their offense,” Zalacca said, “but we run basically a threeforward offense in that we don’t really have a true center. We’ll also be looking to try to do some of the same things we did against Pete Metzelaars.” DePauw will be led by junior co-captain Gregg Notestine, the team’s leading scorer at 12.5 points per game, followed by Juan Aponte at 11.5 and Dave Hathaway at 10.5. Aponte leads DPU rebounders at 6.5 per game, with Notestine second at 3.5 and Hathaway, Mike Krauss and Ted Rutan each at 3.0 per game. THE TIGERS HAVE made 48 of 106 field goal attempts on the year for 45.3 percent, while hitting on 23 of 33 free throws for 69.7 percent. DPU opponents have been lighting up the scoreboards at rates of 53.6 percent from the floor (59 of 110) and 75 percent from the line-
USC's Al
NEW YORK (AP) - Marcus Allen, the record-breaking running back from the University of Southern California, says he doesn’t consider himself a shooin to win the Heisman Trophy as the nation’s best college football player. “I’d love to win the Heisman Trophy, but I think I had a disappointing year a great year, actually, but disappointing because we didn’t go to the Rose Bowl. That was my main goal,” Allen says.
Greencastle swimmers are defeated
TERRE HAUTE- The Greencastle High School men’s swimming team “showed a lot of improvement’’, in the words of coach Paul Bretscher, but the Tiger Sharks were overcome by powerful host Terre Haute South 109-48 on Tuesday night. GREENCASTLE took only two firsts in the meet. Greg Brummett won the 200-yard freestyle in 2:06.08 and Todd Gray won the 100-yard breast-
North Putnam wrestlers beat Tri-West
BAINBRIDGE- North Putnam won only four of the 12 wrestled matches against TriWest Wednesday night, but Bruin forfeits in the 185-pound and heavyweight classes gave the Cougars a 42-39 season opening high school wrestling match victory. DAVID WININGS, Bill Smith, Bill Zeffel and Marty Edwards
Vegas beat Arizona 69-49. Down 33-21, Rutgers opened the second half by outscoring UCLA 16-2. Sanders, who finished with 18 points, scored six of the Bruins’ next eight points to help UCLA regain the lead at 4241. With 1:28 remaining, Rich Brunson tied the game for Rutgers with a field goal and Kevin Black followed with a layup at 1:09 to provide the Scarlet Knights with a 54-52 lead. Ellerbee then hit one of two free throws before Holton came back with his free throws in the final, frantic seconds. “They have to realize that talent alone won’t win ballgames,” said UCLA Coach Larry Farmer. “Execution wins ballgames and we didn’t have one sustained drive in the second half. Rutgers got themselves up to play us, especially in the second half. That’s what I’ve got to make this team understand, that it doesn’t matter who we’re playing, that they’re going to be ready for us,” Freshman Michael Jordan scored 22 points to lead North Carolina’s conquest of Tulsa. Jordan scored North Carolina’s first six points and finished with 10 in the first half. Along with , James Worthy, he led the Tar Heels out of two first-period droughts to give them a comfortable halftime cushion, 34-22. North Carolina later broke away from Tulsa in the second half and held a 24-point lead, 60-36, at one time. The fat cushion was enough to withstand a late Tulsa rally. “I just had the open shots,” Jordan said. “James (Worthy), Matt ( Doherty) and Sam (Perkins) gave me the passes.” North Carolina Coach Dean Smith called the victory a “learning experience” but was disappointed with his team’s ballaan-

“I think it’s still up in the air, and I’m just hoping I win it, that’s all,” said Allen. The Heisman winner will be announced Saturday evening at the Downtown Athletic Club of New York, which sponsors the award and conducts the nationwide balloting of sports writers, editors and broadcasters. Allen became the first player in college to rush for more than 2,000 yards with 2,342 in 11 regular-season games. He also led the nation by scoring 23
stroke in 1:11.42. But after that Greencastle had to settle for four seconds and four thirds. Brummett also finished second in the 500-yard freestyle and was a member of the third place 400-yard freestyle relay team with Chris Barr, Jim Kenyon and Mark Dollinger. Gray placed third in the 200yard individual medley and joined Todd Watkins, Mark
were the four wrestling winners. Dale Lawler and Joe Worland received the Tri-West forfeits. Winings won the 132-pound class with a second period pin of Jeff Bradley. Smith pinned Jim Chrisman in the second period of the 145-pound match, while Bill Zeffel won a second period over Kevin Moxley in the 167-
touchdowns, and he rushed for more than 200 yards in seven games. Despite his heroics, the Trojans lost the Pacific 10 Conference title to Washington, which will go to the Rose Bowl against lowa. Allen will end his college career in the Fiesta Bowl agaist Penn State. “I came in this year expecting to have a good year, and fortunately everything has gone well for me,” Allen said. “We had a chance to be an excellent

dling, which almost proved costly. “We’re better ballhandlers than we showed,” said Smith. “Of course, you must give Tulsa’s defense some credit for that.” The usually sure-handed Tar Heels had 24 turnovers. Scott Hastings scored 25 points and Arkansas played a nearflawless first half en route to a relatively easy victory over San Diego State. Hastings had 11 points in the first half and finished with 10 of 15 from the field and five of six from the foul line. But it was the Razorbacks’ quick defense that led to a 34-15 halftime advantage over the Aztecs, who had averaged 100 points in winning their first two games of the season. Nevada-Las Vegas raced past Arizona as forward Larry Anderson scored 16 points. The Rebels, who led 38-33 at halftime, saw their lead dwindle to one point in the opening minutes of the second half. But sophomore guard Jeff Collins, Arizona’s leading scorer with 16 points, went to the bench with his fourth foul and Las Vegas immediately ran off seven straight points. Arizona never got any closer. In other action, LaSalle Thompson scored a game-high 29 points to lead Texas past Colorado 76-64; Kevin Greany’s 27 points powered Holy Cross over Navy 78-66; a 20-point performance by Devi Parks led Drake to an 89-65 decision over Chicago State; Claude Riley’s 19 points and a pressing Texas A&M defense triggered the Aggies past Sam Houston State 8153; Boston University tripped Massachusetts 91-65 behind Jay Twyman’s 21 points and Ricky Pierce scored 21 as Rice crushed Southwest Texas State 79-53. Also, Tom Haywood’s 23 points paced Weber State to a 78-29 decision over Wisconsin-Superior,

Walker, a sophomore, has rushed for 1,666 yards with one regular-season game remaining, Saturday against Georgia Tech. Walker rushed for 1,616 yards as a freshman and came in third in Heisman balloting last year behind run-

I have a lot of confidence in myself. I’m not trying to say it in a cocky attitude, but I’m just saying I had a good year last year and an even better year this season.” McMahon set an NCAA record for career passing yardage this season with 9,535.

DePauw wins its opener Winning the opening game of the season by 78 points is more than encouraging, right? For first year coach Debbie Gadd DePauw University’s 10325 season opening victory over St. Mary’s of the Woods was kind of a vote of confidence from the team. “The things we’ve been working on we did well,” Gadd said. TO SAY THE TIGERS tore ’em up is more than an accurate discription. DePauw led 15-0 before St. Mary’s scored on a 25 foot shot. By halftime the game was out of hand, DePauw leading 45-10 and it would have been easy for the Tigers to get sloppy in the second half. “I think the team kept its composure and though we were winning by 35 points at halftime they didn’t quit playing,” Gadd praised. Ginny McCracken led the Tigers with 28 points and shared team high rebounding honors with Jenny Hession. All five Tiger starters scored in double figures as Amy Miller netted 15 points and passed out eight assists, Hession scored 12 points to go with her nine boards, and Laura Haas and freshman Cathy McCracken each scored 11. CATHY MCCRACKEN’S offensive rebounding drew praise from coach Gadd, who noted most of her boards were offensive. Giving up only 25 points in the first game you would expect the coach to be happy with the defense. Gadd noted the Tigers played good man-to-man defense, coming up with 19 total steals. The Tigers travel to Hope College this weekend to participate in the Great Lakes College Association tournament with seven other teams.
