Greencastle wrestlers win fifth

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Dan Layton has had a lot of good wrestling teams over the years at Greencastle High School. He had sectional champs in 1973 and 1974 and a title team again in 1976. Greencastle won the first seven Putnam County Tournaments. But until Thursday night the veteran coach never had a 5-0 team, or one that even started that well. Greencastle pinned West Vigo 58-16 at McAnally Center to give the coach a rare first. "IT’S THE BEST start we’ve ever had.” Layton said after the only home match before Christmas. “It’s going to be a very strong challenge next Tuesday down at South Putnam.” Greencastle came out aggresively every

ICeady says Purdue isn't ready for Cardinals

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Purdue takes its 5-1 record to Louisville to face the perenially powerful Cardinals Saturday, and Boilermaker Coach Gene Keady says his team’s performance against Morehead State makes him apprehensive about the trip. “It worries me that we have to play Louisville in their first home game,” Keady said Thursday night after Purdue beat Morehead 81-71 in a non-conference college basketball game. “At this time, I have serious doubts about this team.”

match and won 10 of the 13 matches, receiving a season-low two forfeits from West Vigo. The Tiger Cubs won two matches by technical fall (15-oscores) and five by pin. Troy Peters, David Singer, Tom Catanese, and Kerry Bullerdick improved their records to 5-0 arid Tom Shuee is 3-0. Peters and Catanese won by technical falls, while Singer won the only decision (11-3) for Greencastle. Bullerdick won by first period pin. Shuee won the heavyweight class by first period pin. RICK STEWART AND Neil Masten are 4-1 after pinning their opponents. Stewart pinned West Vigo’s Brad Bowen in the first period and Masten took care of Jim Jacobs in the third, just 22 seconds away from the final buzzer.

Keady said he hoped the more experienced Boilermakers would pounce on the younger Eagles at the beginning of each half Thursday, but it didn’t happen. Purdue and Morehead were knotted at 12-12 before the Boilermakers reeled off 10 straight points, four by Doug Lee, to take a 22-12 lead on Everette Stephens’ basket with 11 minutes to play in the first half. Purdue held a 37-30 halftime lead and moved ahead 45-34 on a Todd Mitchell basket before the pesky Eagles rallied to within five points at 63-58 on Mike

Northview slips by Cloverdale

CLOVERDALE -Debbie Mann scored 26 points, grabbed six rebounds and stole the ball three times Thursday night, but still the Northview Knights defeated host Cloverdale 53-50 in a non-conference high school girls basketball game. The loss dropped Cloverdale to 2-3 going into a week’s layoff. The Clovers play at Monrovia Dec, 12 in a WCC contest. DESPITE THE LOSS, coach Greg Hammond wasn’t upset or even displeased with his Clovers. “We played a pretty good game. Pretty tough. We kind of let it get away from us in the last two minutes of the first half,” Hammond said. Cloverdale led 17-12 at the end of the first

The Boilermakers bounced back to grab their biggest lead at 79-66 on Herb Robinson’s slam dunk at the 1:09 mark Sophomore guard Troy Lewis finished with 21 points, 14 in the first half, and Mit chell had 18 points and 13 rebounds for Purdue. Mack Gadis had 15 for the Boilermakers. Mitchell’s play didn’t impress his coach. “Todd Mitchell hasn’t had his head in the past two games and he would be the first to admit it,” said Keady. “We must

But in the final two minutes of the first half Northview slipped into a 28-24 lead and led 40-38 when the fourth quarter started. The Knights never got more than three points ahead of the Clovers, but beat their full-court press for a couple of easy baskets in the final minutes. MANN WAS CLOVERDALE’S only double-figure scorer. However, freshman Ann Hutcheson scored eight points, passed out seven assists and made three steals. Donda Morris, who had six points, led the

Sharks coming home 2-0

TERRE HAUTE—Pat Condon took two firsts and set his second school record of the season Tuesday night as the Greencastle High School swimming team improved its record to 2-0 with a convincing 95-77 victory over host Terre Haute South. The Tiger Sharks finally get to swim a home meet Dec. 11 and will be looking fora measure of revenge against Plainfield. Greencastle compiled a 13-2 record last year before winning the Bloomington South sectional and Plainfield was one of the two losses CONDON WON THE 200-yard freestyle in 1:52.037 for a Greencastle school record and was just two seconds off the 500-yard freestyle mark he set in the opening meet at Cascade. All totaled Greencastle captured seven firsts-five individual and two relays. But the Sharks also took nine third places and second, third and four places in the 22-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke. “We had some very good times Several people had all-time bests,” coach Brad Hayes praised. “South had improved greatly over last year. The meet was closer than I had anticipated ” IN ADDITION TO Condon’s firsts,

Alumni game at 1 p.m. Saturday DePauw to play good old fashioned man-to-man

By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor No more 45-second shot clock for the DePauw University basketball team-at least not defensively. No, the NCAA hasn’t rescinded the rule, it will still be ticking away above the left side of the backboards. However, when the Tigers host Hanover College Saturday in the 3 p.m. home opener at Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center, they will be more like their old selves instead of the ones off to a rugged 2-1 start. “WE’RE GOING BACK and play our basketball-offensively and defensively,” coach Mike Steele said. “If it’s a situation that calls for us to play a zone defense because we’re in foul trouble, or because the other team doesn’t have as good a zone offense, then we’re going to do it. But I’m done with the clock. It’s the 89 points per game defensive average and 58 per cent shooting by the opposition that has prompted Steele’s return to the man-to-man philosophy. “I’d rather play good man defense and not worry about the clock than play a poor zone defense and try to take advantage of the clock,” the coach said. “We went from being a good man-to-man defensive team to a real average everything defensive team.” THE OFFENSE APPEARS to be fine, as the opposition’s zone tactics have resulted in 85 points a game for the Tigers and 49 per cent shooting from the floor. “You get good shots with 20 seconds or 30 seconds. You can make a lot of passes before it gets down to 10-15 seconds,” Steele said And a lot of passes is what Hanover College does. The Panthers are off to a 1-5 start despite the return of three starters from a team DePauw beat 69-48 last year. “Our guys are probably about as excited about playing this game as they have the games in quite a while We play terrible at Manchester, we get beat at Butler...the kids are obviously looking forward to getting back on the right track,” Steele said. THAT, PLUS THE fact it’s the first home game and the alumni who play in the 1 p.m. game, will undoubtedly be in the crowd, make it important for the

dominate as a team the first five minutes of each half Todd has to help us do that and he hasn’t.” Center Bob McCann paced the 3-1 Eagles with 18 points, and freshman guard Jeff Griffin added 17. “I’m high on Jeff Griffin,” said Morehead State Coach Wayne Martin. “Besides his performance, he has great stamina against a Purdue defense that is as good as any in the country. As much as he handled the ball, he did a tremendous job.”

Tigers. “Hanover has lost some games, but they’ve all been close games. I think our guys know if they’re not ready to play it’ll be a long afternoon for us.” Steele insisted. While DePauw has managed to pull out double and triple-overtime victories, Hanover was on the losing end of an overtime game with King College (95-92) and double-overtime with Berea (96-89). The only opponent to blow the Panthers away was Southern Indiana University (formerly ISU-Evansville), an NCAA Division II team that whipped them 99-63. Paced by Kevin Bell, the Panthers are averaging 80 points per game, but giving up 89.3 points per game. Bell, a 6-4 senior forward, scored 31 points and grabbed nine rebounds in the 92-89 victory over Thomas More in the season opener He tossed in 20 more against Southern Indiana, netted 25 against Berea, 22 in a 68-64 loss to Marian College and 27 against King College. “HE’S REALLY A good athlete. He’s a lot like David Galle,” Steele said, comparing Bell to DePauw’s senior forward. “He does a nice job. He’s a kid we’ve got to make sure we keep off the boards." Joining Bell in the lineup will be 6-4 junior Rick Baughman at the other forward spot with 6-0 senior Mark Lawrence at one guard shot. They started against the Tigers last year John Collier, in his 35th year of coaching and 20th at Hanover, will go with 6-5 senior John Spetz at center Either 6-1 Dave Barber or 6-1 Bill Southerland will start at the other guard spot. Barber scored 26 against Berea. DESPITE TWO LOSING seasons in a

Tucker joins elite club

INDIANAPOLIS—Scoring 29 points against Southwestern Baptist University Tuesday night. Chad Tucker became the 17th Butler University basketball player to reach the 1,000point mark in his career. Just three games into his junior year, the 6-7 Cloverdale High School product has scored 1,012. Tucker takes a 21 3 scoring average into Saturday’s 2:30 p.m. game at Ball State University’s University Gym in Muncie. The Bulldogs, 2-1, host 3-0 Indiana State Monday in a 7:30 p.m. game at Hinkle Fieldhouse. TUCKER IS CURRENTLY shooting 62 per cent (28-45) from the floor and 80 per cent (8-10) at the free throw line His 5.3 rebounds per game is second on the team behind forward Tony Gallahar’s eight.

row, coach Collier’s teams have annually played DePauw tough and just three years ago the Panthers were in the NAIA finals. Collier has a 359-192 record to date at Hanover and Steele anticipates a struggle Saturday. “It’ll be different. Here Hanover is a well coached and their kids are somewhat methodical and they’re going to take care of the ball and be deliberate. Then, we come in and play lUPUI Monday night (7:30 p.m. at the Lilly Center), again, they'll be well coached, but they’ll have better athletes and quickness. So it will be two different styles of games for us,” Steele compared. Coach Bob Lovell returns seven lettermen from last year’s 22-15 team that DePauw beat 71-60 in Indianapolis. Although the entire frontline is gone, the guards return, including Aldray Gibson, a 6-2 sophomore who averaged 18.3 points per game. STEELE SAID SENIOR guard Neal Ogle will play for the first time this season Saturday. While the 5-10 Clinton Central High School product has recoverd from a knee injury, All-American candidate Phil Wendel may miss Saturday’s contest because of complications with a sprained ankle suffered at Manchester. Wendel did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. The annual “Alumni Basketball Game” begins at 1 p.m. with several all-time DePauw greats returning. Steele has changed the format somewhat this year.
