Commodores Score First Victory Os S

Commodores Beat Spartans For First Win The Decatur Commodores, balked in their first five attempts to crack the victory column this season, finally found the answer Wednesday night in their sixth start, coming from behind to de- • feat the Pleasant Mi Is Spartans. 42-31. at the Yellow Jackets gym in this city. The Commodores, trailing at I 22-16 midway through the third | quarter, suddenly caught fire when Johnny Kable, out of the | lineup since the Delphos game I Nov. 19 because of injuries, was inserted into the lineup by Coach Dave Terveer. Bill Gillig hit a free throw but Price clicked on a field attempt and the Spartans were on top. 2417. Kable then hit from the field. Bill Gillig popped in a fielder, Joe Loshe scored one from the side and Bill Gillig connected for a pair in rapid-fire fashion to put the Commodores on top, 27-24. as the third period closed. The Decatur quintet was in front, 34-28, with three minutes of the game yet to play, and then pulled away rapidly in the closing minutes to win by 11 points. Kable’s seven points in the final period sparked the winning drive. The Commodores broke away to an early lead, a pair of field goals by Dave Gillig, one by Pete Peterson and Bill Gillig’s foul toss giving the Commodores seven points before Price hit from the field for Pleasant Mills’ initial points. Decatur led at the first quarter. 9-5, but the Spartans reduced this margin to a single point, 15-14, at the half, \ Dave Gillig led the winners’ scoring with Ift points, followed closely by Kable with nine and Bill Gillig with eight. For Pleasant Mills, Price was tops with 12 points on three field goals and six foul tosses. Both teams were inaccurate from the charity stripe, the Commodores converting only Ift of 26 attempts, and the Spartans only nine of 27. Forty-seven personal fouls were called. 24 on the Commodores and 23 on Pleasant Mills. It was the on'y game of the week for the Commodores, who will return to action next Wednesday night, playing at Hoagland. A week from Friday, the Commodores will be hosts to the Monroe Bearkatz. Pleasant Mills will | meet the Jefferson Warriors at I
