Eagles win; Johnsonl2-0

Keith Johnson remained undefeated, but South Putnam was still the victor in Thursday night’s county high school wrestling meet with Cloverdale. Each team forfeited one weight class, but South won seven of the 12 wrestled classes for the 42-33 victory. The Eagles host Cascade Monday night, while Cloverdale is idle until Tuesday when Terre Haute South visits. JOHNSON IMPROVED his

Nose pushing is legal in high school wrestling, but it couldn't keep Sam Rose from beating Southmont's Kelly Phillips. Rose came close to scoring a superior decision for North Putnam, but had to settle for a major decision, 14-3, in the 112 pound match Thursday night. Southmont won the meet and North's next match is Tuesday night when Owen Valley visits. (Ban-ner-Graphic photo by Steve Fields).

INDIA NAPOLIS-If the DePauw Tiger basketball team has many more second halves like Thursday night's 69-65 loss at Marian, they may want to go another 30 days without a game. The first half was solid, if not sometimes, spectacular basketball, as red-hot shooting by senior forward Joe Dixon gave DePauw a .33-27 halftime margin. But the second half was the precise opposite, as the Tigers' fundamentals broke down both offensively and defensively. "YOU CAN BLAME the way we played on the layoff if you want, but the fact remains that we played a horrible second half. It really started with the last few minutes of the first

112-pound record to 12-0 for Cloverdale with a first period pin of South’s Tony Cox. Pat Havey is still undefeated for South Putnam, while Tim Phillips and Tony Hodges have only one loss at this point. Havey is now 10-0-1 at 126pounds after a second period pin of PaulFiscus. Phillips is now 10-1, scoring a first period pin of Bob Reynolds and Hodges is 9-1-1 after his first period pin of Todd Stanfield.

half, when we had a chance to go up by 10-12 points but didn't. Our attitude at half was not like a team that was winning a basketball game,” coach Mike Steele said. Early in the game it looked like Dixon wanted to win the contest by himself and stood a good chance of doing so. Before some of the fans at the Indianapolis Armory could even get into their seats, Dixon had hit his first seven shots, most from deep in the corners, to give DePauw an 18-12 lead. When Dixon cooled off though, none on the DePauw team stepped in to fill the scoring void. The Munster, Indiana native finished with 23 points, but the next highest

THE MEET WAS just as close as both Cloverdale coach Dave Kiely and South coach Mark Wildman thought it would be. Through the first four matches each team scored two victories but when Havey, Tom Franklin and Phillips scored three straight victories the Eagles moved ahead of their county rivals in the middle weight classes. South Putnam 42, Cloverdale 33 98-Dan Smetzer, SP, second period pin.

Tiger (Gregg Notestine) could only muster eight points. “THE KIND OF things we did wrong are the kind you really wouldn't see looking over the stat sheet. We only had nine turnovers and we out rebounded them. But on the little, necessary things, like making good cuts on offense, moving the ball, playing good position defense, we were terrible,” coach Steele said. Even with its second-half problems, still had a good shot at winning in the final minutes. The Tigers pulled within a point many times in the last eight minutes but could never hit the key shot that would put them over the top. A key 3-point play by

Indiana expected to introduce Wyche as Corso's replacement |

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Sam Wyche, an assistant coach with the San Francisco 49ers, will be named head football coach for Indiana University, it was reported today. A new coach was to be named at a news conference this afternoon, IU sports officials announced. Wyche was the pick of the IU football selection committee to replace Lee Corso, who was fired Dec. 14, according to The Indianapolis News and radio station WTTS at Bloomington. Wyche could not be reached for immediate comment. 49ers spokesman George Heddleston said he knew nothing of the report. Wyche, 38, has been quarterback coach with the 49ers of the National Football League for the past four years. Wyche, who played quarterback for Furman University in Greenville, S.C., played nine years in the NFL with five teams and retired in 1976. He played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Redskins,

Is Dale Gossard (left) going to block Lori Plunkett's (30) shot? It sure looks that way, as the Greencastle forward has her hand right over the ball. Gossard scored nine points for Greencastle and Plunkett had four for North Putnam. (Banner-Graphic photo by Steve Fields).

Greencastle shoots better than North

BvSTEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor ROACHDALE-The best way to describe Greencastle’s 54-25 West Central Conference high school girls basketball victory over North Putnam Thursday night is with numbers The 90-plus minute basketball game was filled with 49 fouls, 58 turnovers, Greencastle shot 34 per cent < 19-56 > from the floor and North Putnam 16 per cent (8-49). GREENCASTLE led this one all the way as Dale Gossard scored the first two points on an offensive rebound and Lori MacPhail hit her fifth shot of the evening. Lisa Hartman's bucket got the Cougars within two, 4-2, but that u-as as close as they got. Greencastle took a 12-4 lead into the second period and held a 28-12 lead at halftime. The Cubs scored the first five points of the second half, and led 33-13 with 4:53 remaining in the third period. The final 29-point margin was the largest of the evening. Everyone dressed played on

Detroit Lions, St. Louis Cardinals and the Buffalo Bills. IU sports information director Kit Klingelhoffer said the choice of the IU football selection committee would be announced at a 5 p.m. news conference. The committee’s nominee is subject to approval of the IU board of trustees, which does not meet again until Feb. 5. He stressed the new coach is the committee’s pick and is subject to approval of the IU board of trustees. The trustees do not meet again until Feb. 5. Klingelhoffer said IU athletic director Ralph Floyd had said the day Corso was fired he hoped the five-member selection committee could come up with the name of a new coach before the NCAA convention. The convention starts Monday at San Diego. “He met that timetable,” Klingelhoffer said. Corso, 47, had three years left on a contract paying him about $54,000 a year when the IU Athletic Committee voted to

Cross slams Badgers MADISON, Wis. (AP i Purdue Coach Gene Keady and Wisconsin BCoach Steve Yoder seemed none too happy with the Big Ten’s new three-point goal when their teams met in a corf-ference-opener for both squads Thursday night. But 6-foot-10 junior center Russell Cross made the debate over the new rule purely academic, as he totaled 31 points, 12 rebounds and five block shots to lead the 20th-ranked Boilermakers to an 80-64 college basketball victory. Twelve of Cross’ points came on slam dunks. “Wouldn’t we all like to have a player like that,” Yoder asked rhetorically as he entered the post-game interview room just as Cross was concluding his meeting with the press. “You talk about blue chip players,” Yoder said. “He just dominated us.” As for his team, Yoder said the chance at a 3-point field goal was too much of a temptation for the youthful Badgers. Wisconsin made just one of seven tries from beyond the 21foot range, while the Boilermakers made three of four attempts, including two by Curt Claw'son. Keady protested vigorously early in the game when Clawson fired up what most observers thought was a shot from well beyond the 3-point range, made the shot but was credited for only two points by the referees. Seconds later, Wisconsin guard Rick Olson connected for a 3-pointer from what appeared to be slightly shorter range than Clawson’s shot and was credited with three points. Yoder suggested it will take time for referees to become accustomed to handling the additional task that the new rule represents. But he also said his Badgers can t afford to miss scoring portunities by trying for 3pointers and missing, as they did three times when they were trailing by six points. “You’re not going to win baH games shooting 3-pointers.” Yoder said. He also said his team will have to become more physical if it is to escape finishing in the Big Ten cellar. “Our physical attitude is just not there.” Yoder said. Center Brad Sellers and forward Cory Blackwell, a pair of Wisconsin sophomores, dented they were intimidated by the aggressive play of Cross, but both said they were impressed.
