Commodores Register 71-51 Victory Over Hartford Last Night

Running up a big early lead, the Decatur Commodores carried on to a 71-51 triumph over the Hartford Gorillas Tuesday night at the Decatur gym. It was the Commodores' second win in as many starts and Hartford's second loss in two attempts. Sparked by the hot shooting of Paul Paurote, the Oommodores pulled away in a big hurry. Bob Biberstein hit front the field for the first points of the game, but the Commodores then scored 16 points in a row before Dean Stahly converted a pair of free throws after six minutes had elapsed. ; The Decatur lads built up a 32-5 margin at the first quarter, as Hartford had miserable shooting luck, netting only Biberstein’s fielder in thp fiast eight minutes. The Commodores kept goipg in the second period, and had increased their margin *to 27 points at MHI after five minutes of play. The Gorillas, led .by scoring burst by Joyce Zuercher, cut the halftime score to 40-20. Hartford threw a real scare into the Commodore partisans in the third quarter, narrowing Decatur's lead to only eight points at 47-39, but Decatur had a 10-point bulge, 50-40, at the third period, and doubled this lead in the final eight minutes of play. Four of Decatur’s starters finished in double figures. Faurote was tops with 21 points, followed by Joe Wilder with 15 points and Ron Meyer and Jetty Voglewede with 14 each. Dave Kabie, Commodore regular, was unable ttf-play because of illness. Ztiereher was the only Gorilla able to hit consistently, winding up with 23 points to top both quintets. The Gorillas will host the Pleasant Mills Spartans at Hartford Friday, while the Commodores are idle the rest of the week. They will play away from home twice next week, meeting Monroeville at Hoagland Nov. 16 and playing at
