Timely rebounding keeps Cloverdale on top of Cubs
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Suppose they played a basketball game and nobody wanted to win 11 That was just about the way Greencastle and Cloverdale played their West Central Conference girls game Thursday night at Cloverdale. The host Clovers came out a 36-33 winner and are now 10-6 overall and finish the conference schedule with a 5-3 record, unofficially third place. GREENCASTLE enters its own invitational tournament Saturday at McAnally Center with a four-game losing streak and 4-9 record. The Tiger Cubs play Danville at 9:30 a.m. and defending champion North Montgomery meets Rockville at 11 a.m. The consolation game is at 2:30 p.m. and the championship at 4. Greencastle’s first-half rebounding and Cloverdale’s free throw shooting kept the score close. Greencastle owned a 21-14 advantage on the boards at halftime, which offset 16 fir-st-half turnovers. Cloverdale hit only four of 16 free throw’ attempts for the game, compared to Greencastle's nine of 16. But down the stretch things changed. Cloverdale still didn’t hit its free throws, but with Laura Roach doing most of the work the Clovers did dominate the boards. Cloverdale outrebounded Greencastle 15-9 in the second half and 9-4 in the last quarter. Roach pulled off three offensive rebounds on missed Clover free throws to

keep the green and white in possession of the ball. SO WHAT KEPT the game close in the second half? Turnovers. Neither team controlled the game's tempo, as sloppy passing and ball handling led to steals, travel calls and double dribble. There were 41 turnovers between the two teams. Despite all of the statistical detractors, the game remained exciting because of the close score. Cloverdale’s largest lead of the game was six points and Greencastle’s largest advantage two points. Greencastle took a 9-7 lead into the second quarter and after an 11-11 tie early in the second period the Clovers moved to a 15-11 lead. Cloverdale led 17-13 at halftime and 26-18 when the last period opened. DESPITE HER foul trouble, Roach led Cloverdale’s scoring effort with 13 points and 13 rebounds. Jill Swearingen netted eight points and eight rebounds. Shelley Hunter paced the Tiger Cub offense with 10 points and Sandy Fox led Greencastle’s 30-29 rebounding advantage with eight boards.

South turns corner on Brazil
South Putnam is a contender to win the Eminence-IHSAA girls basketball sectional. Brazil came to South Thursday night with only one loss and left with two as the Eagles won their 12th straight game 5751, sending them into Monday night’s West Central Conference championship game against Tri-West with a 14-2 record. “THE GIRLS PLAYED ex cellent,” coach Audrey Satterblom praised. “It’s the first game ever at South Putnam that the girls played a mental game.

coaching them for four years that they are starting to pick up the finer points of the game.” The finer points displayed some key offensive rebounding by Amelia Woolums and free throw shooting by Kim Zeronik. With the Eagles leading by one early in the fourth quarter Woolums shook off her defender and scored a South bucket on following a Brazil miss scored again on an offensive rebound. Although Zeronik hit only three of her eight free throw attempts two good ones came late in the contest. SOUTH’S LEAD hit nine poin-

ts with five minutes to play and two minutes later Brazil’s sparkplug and leading scorer Nunu Jolliff fouled out, signaling the Eagle win. However, Brazil did cut the lead to five points before the Eagles went into a four-corner offense with about three minutes left. South never trailed after being behind 4-2 in the early going.

Paced by Zeronik’s 17 rebounds, South won the boards by a 46-29 margin, a key in slowing Brazil’s run and gun style of play. With Ellis and Zeronik hitting the basket most of the time, Debbie Gould picked up eight assists along with her three steals for South. “ I THINK THEY (Brazil) are definitely better than Mooresville,” Satterblom said

IU and Purdue win Big Ten contests
By The Associated Press It was a night of narrow victories by the visiting teams in Big Ten basketball action. All five of the five Big Ten contests Thursday night were won by the visiting team and all but one were close calls that weren’t decided until the final moments of play. In Evanston, lowa knocked off Northwesern 49-48, while Indiana downed Illinois 54-53 in Champaign. In Columbus, Purdue defeated Ohio State 66-60, and Michigan State scored a 6462 win over Michigan in Ann Arbor, Mich. The only contest that became a rout was in Madison, where fifth-ranked Minnesota ran over Wisconsin 78-57. When it was a(ll over, lowa, Minnesota and Purdue shared the top berth in the Big Ten standings. In the Ipyya game, the sixthranked Hawkeyes’ only* lead'df the entire game came with just nine seconds before the buzzer. “To say we were lucky is the understatement of the night,” said lowa Coach Lute Olson. “When the only time you lead is in the last nine seconds, you have to call yourself lucky. Northwestern did a great job and deserved to win.” The Hawkeyes’ win came on a driving layup from Kenny Arnold and gave lowa a 4-1 record in the Big Ten and a 12-2 showing overall. Northwestern is 2-3 in the conference and 6-8 overall. Meanwhile, Minnesota Coach Jim Dutcher said his Gophers had few problems cruising to

Tar Heels upset; who is No. 1 ?
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON AP Sports Writer Noise? What noise? There may have been some during the game, but there certainly wasn’t much afterward from the home crowd at Carmichael Auditorium in Chapel Hill, N.C. “We don’t let the noise affect us like other clubs,” Wake Forest guard Mike Helms said of the usual roar from the sea of North Carolina blue. “We just want to play a good game.” After falling behind 22-9 midway through the first half Thursday night, the Demon Deacons of Wake Forest did just that. And when all the shooting and the shouting was over, they owned a 55-48 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over the previously unbeaten, No.lranked North Carolina Tar Heels. For the Deacons, it was the second time in as many years that they returned home from Carmichael with a victory.
Shoot for pizza The first “Pizza Shootout" of the 1981-82 season will take place at halftime of Saturday’s 2 p.m. men’s basketball game between DePauw University and Olivet Nazarene College. This first shootout will be sponsored by Fat Man’s Pizza. Upon coming to Bowman on Saturday, fans will enter by writing their name on the bottom of the roster sheets available at the door and dropping the entry blanks into the bin provided. At halftime of the game, names will be sleeted randomly from the bin, and those contestants will proceed to the free throw line for one shot. If the contestant hits his free throw, he wins a small pizza from Fat Man’s; if not, another contestant is picked. This process will continue until five pizzas are given away.

their win over Wisconsin and said the team was “able to do pretty well what we wanted to” against the Badgers. The win was Minnesota’s 12th in 14 games. Wisconsin slipped to 1-4 and 4-9. For his part, Bobby Knight was proud of his Hoosiers for staging a comeback to beat the

Wake Forest accomplished that feat by shooting 62.5 percent in the second half. North Carolina center Sam Perkins was out with a virus and the change in strategy effectively shut down forward James Worthy. He scored 13 points in the first 11 minutes but only managed seven more the rest of the way. The outcome left both clubs tied with Virginia for the ACC lead with 4-1 records. Three other members of The Associated Press Top Twenty were in action and two of them almost suffered North Carolina's fate. Fifth-ranked Minnesota, led by guards Darryl Mitchell and Trent Tucker with 18 and 13 points, respectively, rolled to a 78-57 Big Ten victory over Wisconsin.

Illini. “We were able to come back and win,” Knight said. “We haven’t been able to do that with any great efficiency this year.” Despite a quick start by Indiana, the Illini were able to take the narrowest of leads several times in the first half. But Knight and the Hoosiers never let things get any further out of hand. The win boosted the Hoosiers, 9-5, to their third Big Ten win in five contests. Illinois is 2-3 in the conference and 9-5 overall. Purdue Coach Gene Keady called his win over Ohio State the biggest road triumph in his two seasons at Purdue. “This was the biggest because of the importance of the timing in the league.” Keady said. “We played with great poise. It’s the happiest I‘ve seen our dressing room in a longtime.” Purdue is 4-1 in the Big Ten and 7-7 overall, while Ohio State dropped to 3-2 in the conference and 12-5 for the season. Michigan State Coach Jud Heathcote was not unaware that his Spartans’ triumph over Michigan may have been overshadowed by events a few miles away in Pontiac, Mich. “This might not have been as big as the Super Bowl, but to us it is,” Heathcote said after watching his team break a threegame conference losing streak with a win over the Wolverines. Michigan State raised its record to 7-8 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten.
Tigers hope to get over .500 again Saturday’s 4 p.m. home basketball game with Olivet Nazarene is an important one for DePauw University. The Tigers stand 6-6 after Tuesday’s 83-68 defeat at IUSoutheast and is looking at four straight road games over the next two weeks, before returning home to play Franklin on Feb. 6. It has not yet been determined whether the Franklin game will be played in the New Gaumey Neal Fieldhouse. “WE’D SURE LIKE to go into this road trip one over .500 than one under,” assistant coach Jim Zalacca said. But before taking off to play Oakland City Wednesday, Blackburn next Friday, MacMurray next Saturday and Eureka on Feb. 4, there is the little matter of 7-8 Olivet Nazarene. “Basically,” Zalacca said, “they’re a perimeter shooting team. They’re not overly aggressive inside and they don’t look to go inside that much. We must anticipate them to shoot when they get the ball rather than drive or pass inside. They’ll play hard for 40 minutes regardless of the game situation and we have to be ready to play hard with them.”, ONE TIGER WHO probably will not be playing hard with them is forward Joe Dixon the leading scorer for DePauw. Dixon left Tuesday’s game early in the second half with a sprained ankle. “We obviously would like to have Joe out there,” Zalacca said, "and we’re not so sure that he’s not going to be out there, but we're practicing as though he will not be there to play.” At the time of his injury, Dixon had scored 14 points and is averaging 12.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Players to look for on the ONC Tigers roster include Pat Martin. a 6-3 guard; Daryl Nelson, a 6-5 amt John Allhands, a 6-5 center. “Martin,” Zalacca said, "is a tremendous shooter with a range of 25 to 30 feet. He can really stick the ball in the basket. Nelson is a very good perimeter shooter, but he more so than anyone else will look to pass inside. He is also a very aggressive inside player. Allhands is basically a strong, aggressive player who will collect a lot of points."
