Tiger Cubs play once, Clovers twice

South and North have big opportunities on Friday

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor South Putnam is looking forward to being 3-0 in the West Central Conference and North Putnam is looking forward to playing a high school basketball game for the first time in three weeks. All four Putnam County high school basketball teams play for the first time since the Putnam County Classic Friday night. South is host to Cascade, North travels to Tri-West, Greencastle is host to South Vermillion and Cloverdale goes to Eminence. SATURDAY NIGHT GAMES include Crawfordsville at North Putnam, South Putnam goes to Van Buren and Cloverdale visits Danville. Greencastle is idle. 4 Coach Bill Merkel said when the season opened the Eagles should be among the contenders for the WCC basketball title .that eluded them a year ago. A win Friday night against Cascade would go a long way toward making that goal possible. Cascade comes to South with a 2-2 record. The Cadets have beaten Cloverdale and Monrovia and lost to Plainfield and Avon. 1 Coach Jim Sharp says his squad is not playing real well right mow, pointing to last week’s narrow 52-47 escape against

SEVEN OF THE 11 events ended Wednesday night before Greencastle won its first event. Watkins clocked a 1:06.32 first place time and Quentin Oliver took second. Todd Gray and Mike Opdahl pulled off a one-two finish in the 100-yard breaststroke. Gray won in 1:11.0. Opdahl and Oliver joined Bob Nealon and Mark Dollinger to make up the first place 400-yard freestyle relay team.

vitational, pinned North Montgomery’s Reese Harpel in the second period of the 138 pound class for his seventh victory of the year. Henderson suffered his first loss of the season. The 105 pound sophomore lost a 5-0 decision to Scott Bartless of North Montgomery, but scored four wins Saturday at Monrovia. He won two matches at Monrovia by pin and two by

Monrovia and the 77-63 loss at Avon as evidence. AS USUAL, SOUTH will be the shorter team. The Cadets start a front line of 6-4 Kent Fisher at center with 6-3 Joe Poteet and Tim Hunter at forwards. Dennis Hogan at 6-2 and 5-8 Dan Smyth are the guards. Hogan leads the balanced Cadet offense with a 21-point per game average, but scored 30 against Monrovia. The force is no longer with Van Buren-it graduated. The 1-3 Blue Devils won their first game last Saturday night, 88-59, over Dugger-Union. Jeff Yocom scored 30 points and pulled down 16 rebounds in the game. NORTH PUTNAM HAS a tough way to return to the basketball court, first playing at Tri-West, then hosting Crawfordsville. “I think if there will be a problem, the lack of experience in a game could be a factor in both ball games this weekend,” coach Phil Myers said. “We’re going to have to play awfully well. We’re going to have to play like a team that has been playing.” The Cougars play a Tri-West team that is off to a rough 1-3 start, contrary to wire service reports that would have the Bruins with a much better record. After a season opening loss to

A! Brown said. “We really came out in the second half and did what we had to do all the time. We played with great intesity in the second half.” Jon Mansberry contributed 13 points to the victory and led both teams in rebounds with 14. Scott Roth and Cory Blackwell scored 17 points each to lead the Big Ten Badgers, 3-2. Sophomores Mike Chesser and Jones sparked Ball State early in the second half when the Cardinals opened a 47-41 lead on a Jones jumper with 15:42 to play. Yoder added, “We played three sophomores and two freshman for almost 30

Orioles are not out of it.” It was reported that the Chicago Cubs were going to hold a news conference in Chicago and announce they had signed free agent Steve Garvey. That was news to Dallas Green, the Cubs’ executive vice president, who was here trying to make some trades. “I didn’t order any conference in Chicago,” said Green. “I don’t know anything about it. I don’t know where that came from.

lowa beats Marquette all over the court

By BARRY WILNER AP Sports Writer The lowa Hawkeyes don’t care if they have to beat you from the inside or from the outside, as long as they beat you. Seventh-ranked lowa did the job from both areas Wednesday night, taking an early lead and staying safely in front the rest of the way against No. 16 Marquette. All five lowa starters scored in double figures in the 87-66 victory, with 6-foot-10 Greg Stokes contributing 19 points and 6-11 Michael Payne getting 12 and 16 rebounds. That was lowa’s inside game. Outside, Steve Carfino put in 17 points and assisted on 10 other baskets as the Hawkeyes showed the kind of balance Coach Lute Olson is looking for. “We’ve had our moments this year when we've played better than any team we’ve had,”

minutes. I think our players gave one heck of an effort. I told them I thought they played a great game, but I was sorry I had to bring them into this situation.” In Terre Haute, freshman Brad Keiss scored 18 points to lead the Rose-Hulman Engineers, now 5-2. The hosts held Principia, 2-5, scoreless the first 7's minutes of the College Athletic Conference game. Principia was led by Dan Sellers with 18 points. Paul Havileh scored 23 points for host Wabash, and Merlin Nice snapped a tie with a basket with 20 seconds left.

in the heavyweight class against North Montgomery’s David Rose. Blocher won three matches at Monrovia, taking his first loss of the year to Monrovia’s Brad Lucas, an opponent he’ll take on in the WCC. Team wise at Monrovia the Cougars finished 1-3, wrestling each opponent after they had a rest period because of the luck of the draw. North opened the meet with a 56-18 win over

Zionsville, the Bruins defeated Edgewood 68-60, but lost two last weekend to Greencastle and North Vermillion. Part of Tri’West’s problems have been disciplinary. Jeff Hedge, who scored 22 points in his first game at forward against Edgewood, missed both contests last week because of disciplinary action. He will play this weekend, according to TriWest Athletic Director Bill Compton. CRAWFORDSVILLE HAS a deceiving 1-3 record. The Athenians’ only win came against McCutcheon. The three losses, by less than 10 points, have come from Seeger, Benton Central and Lebanon. While the 6-7 center may be the biggest attention getter on Mike Lord’s first Crawfordsville squad, 6-3 forward Keith Keller paces the scoring with a 16.5 average. The Athenians like a deliberate half court game. GREENCASTLE AND South Vermillion stack up fairly even size wise, but the Cubs have a better record. While the physical Wildcats are 0-3, the Tiger Cubs are 2-3. Just as Greencastle’s attack revolved around 6-5 center Brian Richards, South Vermillion’s offense depends upon 6-6 Brad

noted Olson about his 5-0 team. “We’ve never before had two big guys inside with the potential of Stokes and Payne. The Warriors are now 2-1. Dwayne Johnson had 20 points for Marquette. Top-ranked Virginia and No. 3 Georgetown tuned up for their big meeting on Saturday, with the Cavaliers taking Duke 10491 in an Atlantic Coast Conference opener, and the Hoyas beating Alabama State 99-76.

Joel Fruendt topped all scorers with 32 points for Illinois Wesleyan, 2-2. The game was tied 33-33 at the half, and Illinois Wesleyan built a seven point lead in the second half before Wabash, also 2-2, rallied. In Rensselaer, Scott Spencer scored 21 points and Melvin Wood added 19 for the 3-3 Pumas. Lamar Springs scored 19 for Northeastern Illinois. 1-9. St. Joseph’s led 42-40 at halftime. Franklin’s Rick Moorhead hit an 18-foot jumper with one second left to give the hosts their one-point triumph.

N FL sounds warning with fines

NEW YORK (AP) Stan Blinka says his one-game suspension for a flagrant personal foul would not have been assessed if television cameras had not focused on the New York Jets linebacker on that particular play. Blinka said he thought the punishment was severe because “it was so well displayed on television. People make shots like that all the time and nothing is made of it. I'm not embarrassed by all this because I wasn’t trying to hurt anyone.” National Football League Commissioner Pete Rozelle suspended Blinka without pay and fined Leonard Thompson of the Detroit Lions SI,OOO Wednesday for committing flagrant fouls. Rozelle said Blinka’s hit “ranks with the worst infractions I have witnessed in an NFL game.” The suspension will keep Blinka out

Hamersley. The seniorcarries as 18 points per game average The outside shooting of Jon Duncan, Todd Inman and Tracy Pursell is going to be important for Greencastle because the Wildcats rarely play anything but a 2-3 zone. AFTER DROPPING TWO at New Castle last week, coach A 1 Tucker was looking forward to this weekend. “If we can pick up three games next week, by this time next Saturday night things could look a lot different for us,” Tucker said after the overtime loss to then ninth ranked Richmond. The Clovers started back toward the .500 mark with a victory over Clay City Tuesday, but things won’t be that easy this weekend. Eminence played Danville to within one point and the Clovers play both teams. Eminence is not only a rival, but a good basketball team. Small, quick and scrapy best describe the Eels. Danville, the new WCC member, is big and physical. Brian Clark, a 6-2 forward appears to be the key to coach Gary Cook’s Warrior offense. The senior scored 27 against Greencastle and 22 against South Putnam last week.
