No. 5 Tigers 19-3 after successful weekend journey

The DePauw University men’s basketball team made history Saturday and Sunday as they became the winningest team in the school’s history. Victories over Washington University and Mac Murray College pushed the fifth ranked (NCAA Division III) Tigers to a 19-3 record and broke the old mark of 18 wins in one season set by last year’s squad. DePAUW DEFEATED Washington, 60-55, in St. Louis Saturday and then traveled to Jacksonville, 111. Sunday to post an 80-52 win over Mac Murray. “I am proud of the fact that we set a new record for wins,” coach Mike Steele said. “But we have to continue to work hard and try to improve with each game.” In Saturday’s contest with Washington the Tigers didn’t exactly look like record breakers. “The only positive side about that game was that we won,” Steele said. DePAUW HELD A 33-24 halftime lead, but shot only 50 per cent in the second half as the Bears staged a comeback. “We had a chance to put the game away and we didn’t,” Steele said. “We played good defense the first two times down the floor, but then couldn’t get off a shot. Washington gained their confidence.” The Tigers led by 10 points, 43-33, with 14:35 remaining in the contest and looked as if they were on their way to an easy victory. DePauw then seemed to have difficulties hanging on to the ball as they made 10 second-half turnovers enabling Washington to get back into the game. Shooting nearly 60 per cent from the field in the second half, the Bears closed the gap to only two points, 57-55, with 21 seconds left on the clock. Sophomore guard Neal Ogle calmly hit two pressure packed free throws with 18 seconds remaining and

Red Devils muscle their way by Cougars; Fountain Central next

By CHRIS KNAUER Banner-Graphic Sports Writer “We were overpowered,” North Putnam varsity coach Bill Brothers said after his team’s 76-52 loss to the visiting Brazil Red Devils in Saturday night’s high school basketball action. “They used their size and height to power inside.” It looked as if Brazil would use 6-4 center Mike Butts and 62 forward Jeff Buell as weapons against the Cougars. Their rebounding gave the Red Devils

one with 14 seconds left to give the Tigers a 60-55 victory. SENIOR JUAN APONTE contributed 17 points and freshman David Galle added a career-high 13 points to pace the Tigers. The team’s leading scorer Dave Hathaway was limited to only two points. DePauw was out rebounded 2319. Less than 24 hours after slipping by Washington, the Tigers faced Mac Murray and looked like a team deserving of their number five national rating. Hathaway got back on track as he scored 17 of his game high 28 points in the first half to lead DePauw to a 41-26 lead at halftime. The 6-4 forward connected on 13 of 19 field goal attempts and pulled down six rebounds. “David went from playing one of his worst games on Saturday to one of his best games on Sunday” Steele stated. That’s a sign of how great a competitor he really is. DePAUW LED THE entire game and twice scored nine straight points in the second half on their way to a convincing 80-52 victory. All 11 players who saw action found their way into the scoring column. Aponte turned in another fine performance as he scored 13 points and grabbed six rebounds. Center Craig McAtee also pulled down six rebounds plus scoring nine points. The back court duo of Scott Lewis and Phil Wendel dished out eight and seven rebounds respectively. “We played with as much aggressiveness and confidence as we have all year,” Steele commented. “This was possibly our best game of the season.” THE TIGERS NOW stand with a 19-3 record with three road games remaining and hopes of a national playoff spot. “So far we have accomplished the goals we set for

plenty of chances to score. “It was inside game for both teams,” Brazil coach Jim Buell, father of Jeff Buell, remarked. THE NORTH PUTNAM offense came out running towards the basket at the opening tip-off but discovered that the hands of Brazil could take a ball away. The Red Devils converted four quick steals in the opening minutes to baskets before the Cougars got on the board. Chris Colvin put in the first

ourselves at the beginning of the season,” Steele said. Those goals included winning every home game. The Tigers went 12-0 in the Neal Fieldhouse and have won 20 straight there dating back to last season. Another goal the squad has taken care of so far this season has been that they have not lost to a Division 111 opponent. “We have three very tough road games left,” Steele said. “We can not get all wrapped up in thinking about the playoffs yet, but if and when we make it we will have to continue to work and be aggressive and things will take care of themselves.” STEELE COULD CAPTURE his 50th win with a victory Wednesday night at Marian in Indianapolis. The Tigers will close out the season at RoseHulman Feb. 21 and at Wabash, Feb. 25. For Tiger fans who are interested in hearing Coach Steele and his coaching staff discuss the past two victories and the upcoming schedule, Tiger Talk will be held Tuesday at 12 noon in the Union Building. DePauw players Scott Lewis and David Galle will also be on hand. AT ST. LOUIS DePAUW(M) Hathaway 1-2 0-1 4 2. Aponte 0-11 5-5 4 17. McAtee 2-3 4-4 4 g. Wendel 24 04 2 4.

basket for the Cougars about two minutes into the stanza. Soon afterwards a Brazil foul sent him to the free throw line to add two more on the board. Then Ryan Wehrman hit the last Cougar field goal for the quarter at 3:46, Brazil holding a six-point lead, 12-6. For the rest of the stanza Brazil’s man-to-man defense stopped any attempt of the Cougars to put points on the board. All of Brazil’s starters hit at leart one bucket going against North Putnam’s man-to-man defense. By the end of the quarter, the Cougars trailed, 18-6. COACH BROTHERS had his squad come out using full-court pressure against the Brazil offense. The pressure was effective enough to cause some Brazil turnovers to change into Cougar baskets. “It got us back into the ballgame,” Brothers explained. Two field goals by Colvin and one by Horton on a steal started what appeared to be a Cougar comeback. The Red Devils called a timeout at 5:54 leading 22-16, with Ryan Wehrman on the line. His two free throws followed by layup of his a minute later brought the Cougars to within two, 24-22. The Red Devils started their scoring attack again to cause Brothers to call timeout at 3:32 trailing 27-22. Brazil slowed the tempo and held on to the ball for most of the next three minutes causing another timeout by the Cougar bench at 58 seconds behind 29-22. BY HALFTIME, the Cougars had come from a 12-point deficit to only a five 29-24. This may have been due to 47 per cent shooting from the field by the North Putnam squad in the second quarter compared to 38 per cent by Red Devils. “We

ATTACK: Aponte has 30-point weekend

Wrestlers defeated High school wrestling season ended in the first round of the Franklin Central semistate Saturday for all three Putnam County entries. North Putnam’s Tim Rose closed the year with a 23-1 record, losing a 9-8 decision to Brownsburg’s Brian Diebold. Rose led the match 8-7 until Diebold got a reversal with just 15 seconds left in the 98-pound match. “IT WAS A close match,” North Putnam coach Tom Roach said of the junior’s only loss this season. “It was back and forth the entire match. He had not given up a near fall all year until that point. Cloverdale’s Rob Young was pinned in the opening period of the heavyweight class by Brad Crouse of Lawrence Central. South Putnam’s Trent Thompson lost a 15-1 superior decision to Chuck Poulsen of Indianapolis North Central. Thompson’s consolation can be the fact Poulsen went on to win the semistate title.

played horrible in the second quarter,” Brazil coach Buell commented. However the second half wasn’t so “horrible” for the Red Devils as they controlled the boards and shooting going against North Putnam’s fullcourt pressure. Defensive rebounding by Buell turned into baskets as a result of cross court passes by him. By the end of the game he pulled in nine rebounds for the Red Devils. The Cougars quickly got behind as a result of this control by Brazil. By the end of the stanza North Putnam trailed, 54-36. NORTH PUTNAM could not bring the score back down and trailed mostly by 20 points in the fourth quarter. At the final buzzer, Brazil had overcome the North Putnam squad, 76-52. “I didn’t think we played bad ball at all,” coach Brothers said. “Lasley has been playing well lately and so has Colvin. Gene and Todd (Ensor and Bock) have been in a slump lately however.” The Cougars travel to Foutain Central next Friday night in a non-conference game.

Cubs cap 12-6 season with title

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Outscoring North Putnam every quarter, and netting points from both inside and out, Greencastle captured the Putnam County Freshman Basketball Tournament championship Saturday 41-21 at South Putnam High School. Greencastle, ending the season at 12-6, advanced to the title game with a 46-41 win over South Putnam in the first round. North Putnam defeated Cloverdale 35-22 in the tournament opener. THE TIGER CUBS took an 8 2 first quarter lead when the Cougars could not hit their inside shots. Todd Sutherlin scored four points, Doug Hedrick two and Chris Hansen two in the opening period to give the Cubs the lead for good. North Putnam continued get-

U.S. strikes gold in giant slalom

SARAJEVO, Yugoslavia (AP) Unheralded Debbie Armstrong, relatively new to international competition, gave the United States Team its first gold medal of the 1984 Winter Games today as she outdueled teammate Christin Cooper in the women’s giant slalom. Armstrong and Cooper added gold and silver medals to the lone silver placing that Kitty and Peter Carruthers scored in pairs figure skating on Sunday and ended the U.S. medal drought. Armstrong, 20, who had never finished higher than third place in any World Cup race, outduelled Cooper on the second run to give the United States its first Alpine gold medal in 12 years and its first in the giant slalom in 30 years. “Those were the two runs of my life,” said Armstrong, of Seattle, Wash. Cooper, 24, of Sun Valley, Idaho, led the first run, with Ar-

Mooresville wins title

By The Associated Press Seven girls’ teams, including defending state champion Bed-ford-North Lawrence and run-ner-up Crown Point, move into this week’s semistate tournaments of the ninth state girls’ basketball tournament after successfully retaining their regional titles. Mishawaka, Rushville, Mooresville, South Dearborn and Evansville Bosse complete the list of 1983 regional winners still battling for the state championship. Bedford-North Lawrence, unranked in the final coaches’ poll, took a big step in its bid to become the first team to win the state championship two consecutive years Saturday by defeating third-rated Sullivan. The defending champions, 193, nipped previously undefeated Sullivan 57-55 And the challenges won’t get any easier for the Stars, who move into semistate action at Seymour to take on undefeated No. 11 Austin.

Outscoring the Cougars 13-6 in the third quarter on the strength of Scott Dunn’s six points and four more from Sutherlin, Greencastle took a 29-15 lead into the final period. SUTHERLIN LED the balanced Cub offense with 12 points, followed by Hedrick and Dunn with 10 each. Mike Marsteller scored 10 points to lead North’s seasonending effort. Travis Mundy topped Greencastle’s rebounding with 10 boards, while Jon Cowart came off the bench to grab 10 rebounds for the Cougars.

mstrong second and only onetenth of a second behind. Cooper slipped early in her second run. She didn’t go down, but the mistake cost her precious time, and the steadier Armstrong finished half a second faster in the run. Perrine Pelen of France claimed the bronze medal in the giant slalom for the second straight Olympics. Armstrong’s total time was 2 minutes, 20.98 seconds. Cooper finished at 2:21.38 and Pelen at 2:21.40. American Tamara McKinney, eighth after the first run, clocked the fastest second run, a 1:11.72, but finished out of the medal race in fourth place with a combined time of 2:21.83. The 1-2-4 placing of Armstrong, Cooper and McKinney was the best showing by an American team in any Olympic Alpine event. The pre-race favorite, World Cup overall leader Erika Hess

Crown Point, one of five teams to march through regional play with perfect records, now faces Lafayette Harrison in firstround semistate play at Lafayette. The opening semistate game at Fort Wayne has two undefeated teams colliding. No. 7 Mishawaka, 24-0, retained its regional crown with a 59-32 romp over Concord. No. 2 Eastbrook downed Kokomo Haworth 64-38 in the last girls’ game for the Huskies. Haworth, which finished 19-3, will be consolidated with Kokomo High School next season.
