Bench strength shines in rally

Tigers push Tri-State to limit

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Mistakes at crucial times and a fingertip are the reasons DePauw University dropped its fifth straight basketball game, 56-55, Tuesday night to Tri-State University. The now 3-5 Tigers continue their four-game homestand Friday night against Washington University of St. Louis at 7:30 p.m. DePauw will host Maryville. Tenn. at 3 p.m. Saturday and Jan. 18 Manchester visits Lilly Center All games in January are open free to the public. AFTER RALLYING from an 11-point deficit behind the relief play of Craig McAtee, Dave Hathaway and Brent Ehrman, the Tigers led by four. 50-46, with five minutes left in the contest. However, Tri-State outscored DePauw 10-5 over the final minutes to win its 14th in 16 games. This game was decided in the final two minutes, despite the fact both teams had opportunities to pull away. TriState's Troy Neely stole Joe Dixon’s inbounds pass with 2:12 left and scored to put his squad ahead for good at 54-53. DePauw committed the last of its 13 game total turnovers the following possession and Tri-

Clovers fall shy of Cadets CLAYTON--Ball control and good shot selection kept Cloverdale close, but Cascade’s superior rebounding strength was the difference Monday night. By getting two and three shots per possession. Cascade defeated Cloverdale 44-33 in a West Central Conference high school girls basketball game. Cascade currently leads the WCC, one game up on South Putnam. “I KNEW WE were going to be out manned on the boards,” coach Greg Hammond said. “That's where we lost the game, especially on their offensive end. They would get two and three shots where we would get only one.” Despite the height disadvantage, Cloverdale trailed only 6-3 at the first stop and 1613 at halftime. “We just tried to control the basketball and take good shots, which we did,” Hammond praised. Cloverdale’s ball control tactics led to Cascade fouls and the Clovers responded by hitting 13 of 16 free throw’s in the first half. That night, Cloverdale did not score a field goal during the first half, according to coach Hammond. CASCADE’S LEAD was only 30-24 when the final eightminute period opened. With less than four minutes remaining, Cloverdale cut the Cadet edge to four, 35-31. Freshman Debbie Mann scored 13 points to lead Cloverdale and was the only Clover in double figures. The Clovers played their second game without junior Suzanna Reid, the team’s leading scorer through the first half of the season. The forward is expected to return to the lineup soon. Cindy Bridges, 5-10 junior, scored 12 points to lead the Cadets and 6-0 senior center Sharril Weatherman scored 10. ALONG WITH her 13 points, Mann also pulled down eight rebounds and passed out two assists. Lisa Evans led the Clovers with 10 boards and Sharon Garrett passed out two assists. Cascade won the junior varsity game 26-8. (i.pVKiti)Ai.Kci:n F.vans (I 2 7 J :l. Sublet! 2 2-2 I 8. Hughes 1 00;i 2, Oarrett I 2-2 I 1. Mann 2 9-12 5 lit.

State went into the spread offense. The Tigers had to foul to gain possession, but Tri-State was nowhere near the bonus free throw. On the fomth straight DePauw foul, Tri-State finally started shooting free throws and took a 56-53 le;,d when Tony Gray hit a pair. GREGG NOTESTINE found Phil Wendel open for a five-foot shot, which set the final score. But the Tigers got another chance f .o win. Fouling, DePauw put Tri-State back at the free throw line with two seconds remaining. Gray hit the free throw, but it was ruled one of the Tri-State players was in the lane too soon, giving DePauw the ball with no timeouts. Freshman Tim Vieke launched a good 10-foot shot from the baseline, which Gray got a finger tip on and DePauw’s hopes bounced off the rim. The final one-point margin could easily be called a compliment to the play of sophomores McAtee and Ehrman and junior Hathaway. “The frontline people we had tonight never played very good." coach Mike Steele said of starters Joe Dixon, Ron Huser and Juan Aponte. “They played decent in stretches, but

KIM SHELDON: Scores career high 16 points

Greencastle girlspreview future during Brazil rout

The sophomore class may be the key to the remainder of the Greencastle High School girls basketball season. With junior starter Shelley Hunter out for two weeks from a mild concussion suffered in the win at North Putnam, sophomores Kim Sheldon, Melanie Murray and Dale Gossard picked up the slack during a 61-48 rout of Brazil at McAnally Center. "WE FINALLY LOOKED like we did earlier in the season,” coach Doug Rose said. “The press clicked. I think we finally figured out how to play the thing. We could have set the final margin.” Sheldon scored 16 points, pulled down 12 rebounds.

not like they can play. “BUT BRENT EHRMAN and David Hathaway... David missed some shots 1 3-12 from the floor), but he was still active. He was aggressive and made some things happen. But I thought Mac (McAtee) really came in and did a nice job." The Tigers fell behind 18-7 when Tri-State’s Ron Brandenberg converted one of DePauw's five first half turnovers into a layup. On the return trip McAtee made an aggressive one-on-one move for the first of his career high 13 points. The 6-8 sophomore from Washington scored 13 points and pulled down a team-high seven rebounds. He hit five of six shots from the floor and three of four free throws. AFTER McATEE’S SPARK. Hathaway hit two free throws, followed by an Ehrman offensive rebound for two points, cutting Tri State’s lead to 20-15. DePauw got the ball right back when Hathaway blocked a TriState shot and McAtee scored again. DePauw never got inside three points the first half and considering the Tigers’ 28 per cent (8-28) shooting, it was amazing Tri-State’s edge was only 26-23 at halftime. The

passed out three assists and came up with five steals. Gossard scored 10 points, pulled down 11 rebounds, passed out four assists and came up with six steals. Murray scored 11 points from the guard position. "This is the second time they’ve been in the lineup at the same time,” Rose said, admitting the trio will probably be in the starting lineup Thursday night at Tri-W'est. “They're really playing well.” GREENCASTLE BLEW the once powerful Brazil program off the court in the first quarter 22-10. The Cubs led 36-20 at halftime and held a 48-29 lead going into the last quarter, despite coach Rose’s free substitution. The now 5-5 Tiger Cubs host

visitor hit 44 per cent (11-25) in the first half. Tri-State built its lead to 34-27 in the first four minutes of the second half before Hathaway and McAtee started in again. Hathaway hit back-to-back shots, cutting the margin to four, 38-34 and after Tri State held a brief six-point edge, McAtee scored two straight buckets, putting the Tigers within two, 40-38. WENDEL KNOTTED IT at 40-40 just inside the 10-minute mark and after Hathaway’s bucket kept the score tied 42-42, Rutan lifted the Tigers into their third lead of the night with a pair of free throws. Despite the off-night, Dixon continued to pace DePauw’s scoring with 15 points. McAtee was the only other Tiger in double figures. Neely )pd a trio of Tri-State players in double digits with 16 points.

Will third time be a charm? NEW YORK (AP) Alfred Manuel “Billy” Martin and George M. Steinbrenner 111, two of baseball’s most celebrated antagonists, are friends —■ again. And that can mean only one thing Billy Martin is manager of the New York Yankees again. Rumored for months, the announcement that Martin would manage the Yankees for a third time came Tuesday at a news conference during which both men promised to lay aside their Punch & Judy act. “The line of communications is open, and I really feel it will be different this time.” Stein brennersaid. “I’ve been mad at my mother, too, but I still love her," Martin said. With that. Bulldog Billy became only the fourth man to manage the same major league team more than twice and Steinbrenner had made his 10th managerial change since buying the club 10 years ago this month. It also w’as Steinbrenner’s fourth change of leadership in a year. Bob Lemon started the 1982 season for New York but was replaced by Gene Michael in April. Michael, in turn, was replaced by Clyde King in early August. King will stay with the club as a top adviser to Steinbrenner. Contacted at his Goldsboro, N.C.. home, King said the Yankee boss “wants me to be upstairs with him to make decisions and evaluations. Not ordinary scouting, but special work where I’ll be close to him.”
