Tigers rip Spartans for 41st straight home win
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Your first thought when seeing DePauw University ripped Manchester College 9964 Monday night at Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center might be, “Isn’t that the team that took DePauw into double-overtime earlier? Have the Tigers improved that much?” Yes and no is the answer to both questions. FOR THE TIGERS ran their record to 91 and their homecourt winning streak to 41 straight against a mere shadow of the team coach Terry Heavilon had when the season opened. Also, when recalling the season opener in the Manchester Tournament, coach Mike Steele uses the word “horrible” a lot. “I don’t think DePauw has improved that much,” Heavilon said after the Spartans dipped to 1-13. “We caught them a little bit unaware. Our kids were a little more hungry at the time and we played well. “We’re down to 11 healthy bodies right now and three of those aren’t real healthy.” JERE EATON, WHO scored 19 points in the first meeting with DePauw, is no longer with Manchester for academic reasons. Junior guard Mark Heeter just returned from an eye injury when he suffered a foot injury Friday and didn’t play. Point-guard Ken Cox has just returned from a dislocated finger and senior Scott Jennings played little because of a severe thigh bruise. “So we’re physically not close to where we need to be. Now if we were 13-1 right now a lot of those injuries don’t happen. They don’t hurt nearly as bad if you’re 131,” Heavilon admitted. And it appeared DePauw came out looking to prove itself to Manchester, playing aggressive basketball at both ends of the court. “We’ve had two-a-day practices for four days and our kids were ready to play a game,” Steele said after his 85th win as DePauw’s coach. “AND THEY KNOW our next three games are all going to be tough ones. We’ve got Franklin (3-8) on the road (Wednesday night, 7:30 p.m.), Taylor on the road and Wabash at home. This was a

Lafayette Jeff now in position for big conference showdowns
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Lafayette Jeff, awaiting its biggest test so far this season against Muncie Central on Friday and a showdown with top-rated Marion in two weeks, climbed to the N 0.2 statewide ranking today in The Associated Press high school boys’ basketball poll. The Bronchos, 9-0 for the season, rose two places in the first AP poll of the new year. There was no poll last week. Michigan City Rogers, which had been ranked second, lost twice in its own holiday tournament and fell to seventh. Valparaiso, whicm beat Rogers in the first round of the tourney but lost to Michigan City Elston for the championship, remained third in the statewide voting by AP’s board of sports writers and broadcasters. Elston, then unranked, pushed its record to 7-0 and was voted into the Top 20 in the N 0.12 position this week. The only other newcomer is 7-2 LaPorte, picked 19th. As usual, Marion was the unanimous choice for No. 1. The defending state champion Giants, riding a 38-game winning streak over two seasons, received all 22 fir-st-place votes for a perfect 440 rating points from the AP panel. Lafayette Jeff totaled 404 points, while Valparaiso received 355 points. Muncie Central rose two spots to fourth
game that we needed to make sure we got out and got ahead, got a good start, won the game and now we’ll go on to the next three games,” Steele explained. That’s a pretty accurate description of what the “Community Night” crowd saw. Paced by David Galle’s three buckets inside the lane, the Tigers raced to a 9-0 lead and were up 18-2 less than six minutes into the contest. Forcing 29 Spartan turnovers for the night, the aggressive Tiger defense made them turn the ball over 11 times in less than 10 minutes during the first half. “I thought we really played well the first 10 minutes. Defensively we did well and the kids were knocking it inside (on the offensive end). I just thought we really did some good things,” Steele praised. DePAUW’S DEFENSE TOOK Manchester out of the game early, according to Heavilon. “Tonight our kids just basically chickened out a little bit the first 10 minutes of the game on the offensive end,” the Spartan coach said. Steele and Heavilon both agreed the officiating played a role in the defensive play. There were 53 fouls called during the contest, 28 during the first half alone. Combine that with the 28 to 34-point margin DePauw led through the second half and play declined as the game progressed. “The officiating was like a grade-school game. They called 50-some fouls,” Steele said. “I don’t know how the kids did it. I don’t know how any of them played. We did make some silly fouls. We reached and we didn’t adjust (to the officiating). When the officiating is a closely called game, guys have to make some adjustments.” TAKING THE BALL inside repeatedly during the first half, and then getting some fine perimeter shooting from Tim Vieke, Phil Wendel and Joe Vanderkolk, the Tigefs scored a season-high 54 first-half points for a 54-28 halftime lead. THE WIDE MARGIN gave every DePauw player dress an opportunity for game experience, even though in a rout. “I thought Griff Mills came in and really did a nice job,” Steele said of the sophomore out of Terre Haute South. Although he did not score, Mills had four steals and three assists. Galle, who scored 26 points and grabbed
facilities will not be provided. Members of the 9-1 DePauw basketball team, including former Trester Award winner and NCAA Division 111 All-American candidate Phil Wendel, will provide instruction. Also, the entire DePauw basketball coaching staff, including Steele, will be on hand to help young cagers improve their game.
North Putnam will play its high school girls basketball games at Turkey Run Jan. 11 (Saturday) at 9 a.m. instead of the Jan. 13 date orginally announced. Also, the North Putnam wrestling team will be at Southmont Jan. 16.
The two basketball dates were reversed in Monday’s BannerGraphic. Both varsity games begin at 8 p.m., immediately after the 6:30 p.m. junior varsity games.

The 6-4 sophomore got back to campus late from the Christmas holiday break because of other committments. *** DePAUW GOES TO Franklin Wednesday night for a 7:30 p.m. game. The Grizzlies are currently 3-8, scoring their victories over Huntington, Knox and Wheaton. However, the losses have come to NCAA Division I Morehead State, Division II teams Indiana Central, Southern Indiana, Rollins and Eckerd, along with lUPUI and Transylvania. Coach Kerry Prather starts 6-7 Andy Miller at center with 6-5 Richie Morris and 6-4 Brad Jones at forwards and 6-3 Mike Hackett and 6-2 Donnie Strieker at guards. Hackett leads the Grizzlies with a 14.8 points per game average and Strieker is carrying a 14 point norm.

Syracuse is picking up baton for Big East
By DICK BRINSTER AP Sports Writer The Orangemen of Syracuse weren’t green with envy when they went to the sidelines last season to watch three of their Big East brethren battle it out for the NCAA basketball championship. What they were was a year away from making a serious bid of their own for a berth in the Final Four. At least that’s the impression one gets from listening to Villanova Coach Rollie Massimino, whose Wildcats wound up as national champions. “When we went after them, their experience showed,” Massimino said Monday night after unbeaten and fourthranked Syracuse whipped Villanova 80-57 for its 11th straight victory. A year ago, experienced-if-not-spectacular Villanova beat Big East rival Georgetown for the crown. The Hoyas, the 1984 NCAA champions, had eliminated St. John’s. This season, they’re all looking up at Syracuse, which finally took its show on the road after 10 straight home games. In other games involving ranked teams, it was No. 6 Memphis State 89, South Carolina 81; ninth-ranked Kansas 60, Detroit 51; Auburn 60, No. 11 Kentucky 56;
and then by Noblesville, which remained eighth, with 271 points. Gary Wallace, which lost its first game of the season, fell four places to ninth with 261 points, and unbeaten New Castle rose four spots to 10th with 238 points. Elsewhere in this week’s Top 20, Indianapolis Ben Davis rose one spot to 11th, Elston was picked 12th, Southridge dropped two spots to 13th, Fort Wayne Northrop fell one spot to 14th, Bloomington South plunged five places to 15th after its first loss, Connersville rose one spot to 16th, Boonville rose two spots to 17th, Evansville Bosse fell three places to 18th, LaPorte was picked 19th, and Elkhart Central fell four spots to 20tlL
Big Ten picks Grant SCHAUMBURG, 111. (AP) - Michigan guard Gary Grant, who scored 44 points in leading the toprated Wolverines to a pair of conference victories on the road, has been named Big Ten Player of the Week. Grant, a 6-foot-2 sophomore who was selected the conference’s freshman of the year last season, scored 21 points in the Wolverines’ 78-69 win over Indiana and 23 in a 78-68 triumph over Ohio State last week.

Top 10 Those who visit Memphis for the purpose of playing basketball must learn to live with defeat. The Tigers are so tough, particularly against Metro Conference opponents, that to stay in a game at the MidSouth Coliseum where Memphis State has won 29 straight games is to some a moral victory. “We proved ourselves, that we can play people on the road,” South Carolina Coach Bill Foster said. “That’s a big step for us.” Vincent Askew scored a career-high 23 points and William Bedford added 19 to pace undefeated Memphis State, 13-0.

Williams leads iSU by Redbirds By The Associated Press “I think it will help our self-confidence tremendously,” Indiana State Coach Ron Greene said after his Sycamores topped Illinois State 58-54 in a Missouri Valley Conference basketball game. John Sherman Williams scored 21 points to lead the host Sycamores Monday night. He scored the 2,000 th point of his college career. Elsewhere, DePauw mauled Manchester 99-64, Hanover squeezed past IUSoutheast 70-69, lUPUI downed Marion 9278, Evansville fell to Nebraska 77-70 and Southern Indiana defeated Wayne State, Neb, 91-63. Illinois State, now 1-1 in the conference and 5-7 overall, built a seven point lead, 136, seven minutes into the game but the Sycamores, 1-0 and 7-3, tied the contest at 15 on a steal and dunk by Williams. Illinois State pulled away behind Derrick Sanders’ 13 first-half points to a 32-26 halftime lead. Illinois State hung onto a slim lead throughout the second half with Indiana State cutting the margin to a single point on nine occassions before Williams banked in a jump shot with two minutes remaining to put the Sycamores in front, 53-52. Indiana State sealed the victory with clutch free throw shooting in the remaining moments. Dave Hoppen and Brian Carr each scored 19 points for host Nebraska, whicn led by as many as 18 points in the first half. That lead cut to two as the Purple Aces’ Curtis Jackson scored 20 of his game-high 22 points in the second half. Jackson fouled out with 2:22 remaining, and the Huskers hit their free throws, scoring their last 10 from the free throw line to pull out the win. Bernard Day had 14 pionts for Nebraska, now 9-3. Mike Massing had 18 points and Bubby Mukes 14 for the Purple Aces, 4-8. Julian Hall scored 23 points, including 16 in the second-half, and had a game-high 19 rebounds to pace Southern Indiana. Wayne State had led 33-30 at halftime and 41-36 with 15:55 left to play before the Screaming Eagles roared back in a 31-4 scoring spurt over the next eight minutes. Jeff Embry and Stephen and Andre Jackson each added 14 points for Southern Indiana, now 7-4.
a 6-8 opponent, the favorite isn’t always playing poorly. “Detroit was the factor in the way we played,” Kansas Coach Larry Brown said. “They had a great game plan. They spread us out and used the 45-second clock well.” Second 10 Unranked Auburn which upset the field in the Southeastern Confernce tournament last season may be overlooked by some, but not by Kentucky Coach Eddie Sutton. “Auburn played more tonight like they were playing at the end of the season last year,” Sutton said. “I don’t think they would have lost five games (this year) if they had played like they did tonight.” Chuck Person scored 24 points and Gerald White hit four free throws in the final minute for the host Tigers, 7-5. Kenny Walker, last year’s SEC Player of the Year, led Kentucky, 10-2, with 22 points. Billy Thompson scored 19 points and Milt Wagner 17, including 10 in the second half as 17th-ranked Louisville upped its record to 8-3. Lewis Spence tossed in a game-high 21 points for 3-7 Eastern Kentucky.

There were a lot of fouls called during Monday night's DePauw University "Community Night” game with Manchester College, but it was still a physical contest as Jim Sandgren (30) found out when going against Brad Gore (20). Sandgren netted six points and pulled down five rebounds for the Tigers, while Gore, who played at Eminence High School, scored 11 points and made four steals for the Spartans.
