Taylor at DePauw tonight
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor If the NCAA Division 111 men’s basketball tournament opened today, DePauw’s Tigers would be in the field. But the tournament doesn’t open today (Wednesday). The Tigers still have a tough ICAC schedule to Play. THE 9-3 TIGERS take the floor Wednesday 7:30 p.m. for their final pre-conference tune-up, as the Taylor University Trojans come to Lilly Center’s Neal Fieldhouse. Admission is free. The ICAC and Taylor parted ways during the fall when the league voted that all members should be affiliated with NCAA Division 111. Taylor decided to remain with NAIA, which eliminated the conference’s defending basketball champion. Taylor comes to DePauw with a 15-2 record and 11-game winning streak. Led by guard David Wayne’s 17.1 points per game and 43 percent shooting from threepoint territory, the Trojans are averaging 73.9 points per game and giving up 59.8.

Clovers beat TH. South
CLOVERDALE quite the wrestling match Cloverdale High School expected, and wanted, from Terre Haute South, but it was still a victory. Cloverdale, 5-4 on the year, won four matches on the mat and received four forfeits in a 40-36 victory over a school six times larger. Cloverdale, with a four-grade enrollment of 313 boys and girls, filled every weight class and had five wrestlers for a junior varsity match. Terre Haute South, with a three-grade enrollment of 1,448 boys and girls, did not fill four varsity weight classes. “I know the forfeits had an effect on the outcome of the mat, but I felt like it turned us flat,” Cloverdale coach Dave Kiley said. Tim McKenna, Chad Combs, Jim Harrison and Kevin Boatright won matches on the mat for Cloverdale. McKenna, 12-2 on the year, had a 16-4 lead on the scoreboard when he pinned Brad Brentlinger in the second twominute period, the 3:30 mark of the 119-pound match. Combs scored a 9-2 decision over Andy Titzer in the 145pound class, while Harrison improved to 17-2 with a 13-3 major decision over Brian Lamasters in the 160-pound match. Boatright and Jason Majors were tied up most of the 189pound match. Boatright scored a
South improves in loss
The South Putnam Eagles attacked and hit the boards Tuesday night, but came up short of the visiting Clay City Eels, 37-30, in a non-conference girls basketball game. South’s improved played pleased coach Alan Rains. “Since Christmas we really have been pleased with how the kids have responded and played,” Rains said. “Also, our offensive pressure has been better. We’re attacking whether it’s a man-to-man or zone (defense) we’re facing. Everybody is looking for their shot” The Eagles hit the boards with 31 offensive rebounds. “Especially in the first quarter. We were getting second, third and sometimes four shots,” coach Rains said. South, now 1-11, used the offensive rebounds to take a 7-4 lead in the opening quarter. Clay

They’ll work for good shots, they’ll be mentally tough in what they do,” coach Royce Waltman said. “It’ll be the first really physically and mentally tough team we’ve played since Miami (of Ohio, an NCAA Division I program).” “This is a good game for us going into the league to see if we’re tough or not.” DePAUW HAS BEEN especially tough on the defensive end on the floor. The Tigers have held every opponent, even the ones who beat them, to under 50 percent shooting from the floor. DePauw was ranked fifth in the nation in scoring defense through eight games.

IU counters Ohio State rally
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Fifth-ranked Indiana survived the return of Ohio State’s Lawrence Funderburke and the Buckeyes’ late rally from 19 points down. “We wanted to win this one so bad, it was like a gut check,” Indiana guard Chris Reynolds said of the 91-83 victory that kept the Hoosiers atop the Big Ten with a 30 conference record. IT WASN’T easy. Indiana (12-2) was in command with a 56-37 lead on a 3-pointer by Calbert Cheaney with 14:37 remaining. Then the Buckeyes (102, 2-1), finally finding its shooting touch, went on a 26-2 burst over the next 6:06 to erase the deficit Funderburke began the incredible comeback by scoring the Buckeyes’ first six points of the run. Jamie Skelton capped the spurt with his third 3-pointer in the run that gave the Buckeyes a 63-58 IU-OhioSt. INDIANA 91, OHIO ST. 83 OHIO ST.

Scoring record wasn’t big concern to Weaver
By STEVE FIELDS Banner-Graphic Sports Editor Your first look at Carla Weaver would tell you she has little or no patience. She wants it and she wants it now. It’s easy to mistake strides of purpose and determination for impatience. WEAVER OBVIOUSLY HAS a lot of patience. If not she could have been a problem for the DePauw University women’s basketball team through the first 10 games this season. If not, she might not have played volleyball in the fall, a decision that helped DePauw earn an NCAA Division 111 Tournament for the first time, but kept her off the basketball court. Instead Weaver played volleyball, opened the basketball season with just four practices, waited for the open shots to come her way and Saturday afternoon became the all-time scoring leader in DePauw women’s basketball history Saturday afternoon. Weaver’s 17-point performance gives her 1,161 career points, passing up the 1,159 points scored by former teammate Marlene McQueary between 1985-89. “THE TEAM IS what got the record for me, so the most important thing is the win,” the 5-6 senior from Goshen said. The recordbook supports that statement Weaver, the team’s leading scorer at 15.9 points per game, also leads the Tigers in assists with 43 and became DePauw’s all-time leader in assists during the recent tournament at the University of Chicago. With the seven she passed out against Taylor, Weaver has a still-growing school record of 268 career assists. Simple math assured Weaver the record at some point this season, barring a major injury. With 15 games ahead, she needed only 16 points against Taylor to reach the milestone. And she has always scored, averaging 14.7 per game last year and 16.7 as a sophomore. ‘THE RECORD WAS going to come eventually in this season, but the win was most important today,” Weaver said. “Whether or not I

lead and stunned the 17,328 partisan fans at Assembly Hall, including rock singer John Mellencamp. SKELTON HAD ALL of his 11 points in the spurt, while Jim Jackson had five and Chris Jent four. Jackson finished with a careerhigh 31 points and seven rebounds. Jent added 18 and Funderburke 12. “We did a good job of pushing the ball up the court,” Ohio State coach Randy Ayers said. “Jamie Skelton hit some 3-point shots to open up the defense a little bit and that really helped us.” Jent’s basket at 9:43 tied the game for the first time, 58-58. “When they came back and tied

scqw. it today or the next game or the next game, it really didn’t matter. We needed to win these conference games and keep going.” It was DePauw’s third straight victory and squared the Tigers’ record 5-5 for the year after a 1-3 start. Still, it’s one thing to set a scoring record, it’s another to do it with clutch baskets and unselfish play. Weaver wasn’t even the leading scorer for DePauw, that honor went to center Debbie Hackworthy with 20 points and forward Jenny Sigman with 19. WITH THE SCORE tied 21-21 and 9:16 to clay in the first half. Weaver dropped a 15-foot jumper that touched nothing but net. That started a 6-0 run that created DePauw’s 42-36 halftime lead. Weaver was a perfect 5-for-5 from the floor with four assists in the second half. When Taylor rallied to tie the score 57-57 with 8:40 to go, Weaver drained another 15-footer to put DePauw on top. With the score tied 59-59, she stepped up again, finding the bottom of the net for a deuce that put the Tigers into the lead for good. She still didn’t have the record with 6:50 to play, and Taylor was always within a point and anybody would have understood if she went one-on-one. Instead Weaver played within the team’s offense. WITH 1:27 REMAINING freshman Shelley Rutter stole the ball and passed to Weaver, who

FUNDERBURKE WAS called for an intentional foul and Bailey turned it into a 5-point play, hitting both free throws, then burying a 3point shot. Bailey finished with 25 points. “It wasn’t a cheap shot or anything,” Bailey said of Funderburke’s foul. Funderburke apologized, saying, “I’m not going to try to hurt him.” Funderburke began his collegiate career at Indiana. But he quit the team in December 1989 after conflicts with Hoosier coach Bob Knight. This was his first trip back to Bloomington, and he was the target for abuse by the partisan fans.
