Commodores Defeat Monroeville Cubs In Home Opener, 52-44

The Decatur Commodores, opening their home season Wednesday night, whipped the Monroeville Cubs, 52-44, to their season’s record at one victory and one defeat. The Commodores grabbed an early lead and stayed comfortably out in, front all the way, with a late flurry by the Allen county visitors reducing the final margin to eight points. The Cubs drew first blood when Wayne Ertel cashed in on a free throw after only 10 seconds of play. Ron Ford evened the score with a charity point, and then came back with a fieUer to give Decatur Catholic a lead it never lost. The Commodores built up their lead to 11 points., at 14-3, before Gerry Mack hit Monroeville’s first field goal of the game with 55 seconds to play in the quarter, and the Decatur lads closed out the opening period with a 17-7 bulge. Four buckets by big Ron Meyer were instrumental in boosting the Commodores’ advantage to 15 points, 33-18, at the half-time smoker. Little Ertel tallied seven of his team’s 11 points in this second period. The Commodores stayed well in command throughout the third quarter with their margin sliced by only one point, to 43-29, as the teams entered the final eight minutes of play. .Monroeville attempted to come back in the final period but the Commodores matched each flurry, with the Cubs hitting a pair of late fielders to reduce the final margin to eight points. The Commodjjres were paced on offense by Phil Reed, who bagged 17 points, and Ron Meyer with 15. For Monroeville, Mack and ErteJ each scored 14* with eight of Ertel’s from the foul line. There were 34 personals assessed during the ball game, 21 on Monroeville and 13 on the Commodores. Decatur’s victory margin could easily have been greater, as the Commodores converted only 14 of> 31 attempts from the free throw line, while the Cubs made 12 of 23. The Commodores move back into action Friday night, entertaining the Monmouth Eagles, who hav® lost their fiMt two starts, at the Decatur gym. COMMODORES FG FT TP T. Meyer 3 17 Reed --6 5 IT R.

B FAMOUS ANNOUNCER FiNbS “BEST BOY” IN AUTO INSURANCE RED BARBER, distinguished sportscaster on radio and TV, says: *7 proved to myself that State Farm Insurance costs less”! ”1 like the way State Farm Mutual aims to insure careful drivers only. This keeps insurance costs low. ”My own case proves State Farm rates are low. In New York, where I live ... for the insurance I carry on my two cars.» . I not only get broader coverage—State Farm rates save me $29.31.* r ’T also like the fair Way State Farm charges selling cost, such as the sales commission. They don’t make it part of the premium ... you don’t have to pay it year after year. Instead, it’s covered by a membership fee, paid once and only once —the first time you take out a coverage. ~ "If you want top-notch auto insurance at rock-bottom rates, phone the agent listed below.

No PGA Open Next Year In Fort Wayne FORT WAYNE (UP)—The PGA Fort Wayne Open golf tournament will not be played here next year for the first lime since 1950. Ed Dolison, chairman of the 1956 tourney, said the PGA dropped Fort Wayne from its 1957 schedule because too many tournaments were slated for the Midwest. Dollson said he hopes the Fort Wayne Open will be resumed in 1958. Fort Wayne was dropped because it was the newest site on the circuit. The first Open was playC* in 1950. Art Wall Jr., won the tournament last September. George Myatt Named Chicago Cubs Coach CHICAGO (UP) — The Chicago Cubs today announced the appointment of George Myatt as a coach for the 1957 season, completing the three man coaching staff. Manager Bob Scheffing said Myatt would coach at third base and Freddie Fitzsimmons at first, although he planned to make periodic appearances in the coaches’ bok. The third coach, Ray ler, will handle the bullpen. Seek To Organize Poor Man's Flying Club In Decatur Plans for organization of a “poor man’s flying club” in Decatur were announced today. Object of- the club is to obtain 10 or more members, with each to pay small monthly amounts into a cumulative fund to purchase an airplane.

Saturday Berne vs Fort Wayne Comcordia (Fort Wayne Central gym). Coach Os U.S. Olympic Team Is Optimistic MELBOURNE, Australia (UP)— Canada’s Olympic track and field coach flatly predicted today that the heavily-favored "United States athletes won’t go so well in this cold weather,” but U. S. Coach Jim Kelly insisted he is “highly encouraged” by his team’s present form. Fred Foot, the Canadian mentor, was Emphatic in his belief that American athletes who have been training in the sunny climes of California will be hurt by the current Melbourne cold wave but that his Maple Leaf squad won’t. “We trained a full week in 40 degree weather,” Foot pointed out. “This is warm to us, and the United States athletes won’t like it a bit. We have a good chance for three gold medals in track.” Foot’s sentiments were backed up by Canadian team Manager Bob Osborne, who said he thinks the Canadians can win as many as 10 gold medals instead of the one they captured in the 1952 Olympics. Kelly Optimistic But Kelly, much-criticized coach of the U. S. track squad, was in a very optimistic mood as he analyzed the results of the Americans’ showing in their first competition over here, a special meet Wednesjfay .at uearby Geelong in which U. S. athletes won six of the nine events. Kelly singled out for special praise decathlon star Milt Campbell of Plainfield, N. J., pole vaulter Bob Gutowski of Occidental College, hurdler Jack Davis, steeplechaser Phil Coleman, and pole vaulter Bob Richards. “Everybody seems to think that Rafer Johnson of UCLA has a lock in the decathlon,” Kelly said. “But off the form that Campbell showed at Geelong, it looks like he’ll give Johnson a real struggle in the decathlon. I’m just glad they’re both our boys.” Kelly added that Davis was “back at peak form” and seemed ready for a world record effqri in the 110-meter high hurdles, and that Richards, who is favored to retain his pole vault championship, “has been working real hard” and might be a big surprise in the decathlon. Coleman Real Surprise Coleman, 25-year old Chicago teacher, was the real surprise at Geelong. In finishing second to Britain's Chris Brasher in an 8:45.6 two-mile run, Coleman clocked B:4B—eclipsing the American record for the distance by 1.6 seconds and beating his own previous best time by 23.3 seconds. “Coleman's time was the fastest two miles ever clocked by an American and he’s raring to go,” beamed Kelly. "And Gutowski’s vault of 14 feet, 8 inches under those conditions (poor lighting) was something extra special.” The United States suffered a major setback in another sport, the modern pentathlon, however, when it was announced that Bob Miller of Seattle, Wash., will probably miss the competition because of a recurring leg injury. Miller, considered America’s top hope in the military style competition featuring riding, running, and shooting, was injured on Oct. 17 and team leader Lt. Col. Bill Hood said today. "I’m going to recommend now that he be withdrawn." Bowling Scores Major League W L Pts.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

Mickey Mantle Is American's Most Valuable NEW YORK (W)-Mickey Mantle was voted the American League’s “Most Valuable Player” award for 1956 in a unanimous landslide, and in the words of Yankee Manager Casey Stengel, “who else coulda’ won it but him?” Mantle became the second player in baseball history to gain the award by unaimous selection on Wednesday when he received the first place vote each of the 24 members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America who took part in the balloting. That gave the slugging, 25-year-old Yankee center fielder 336 point—shighest total possible—and made him an easy winner over teammate Yogi Berra, last year’s winner, who would up second this time with 186 points. The only other player ever to win the award unanimously was Al Rosen of the Indians in 1953. Outfielder Al Kaline of the Tigers followed Berra in the current balloting with 142 points while teammate Harvey Kuenn was fourth with 80 points and southpaw Billy Pierce, the White Sox’ 20game winner, was fifth with 75 points. The switch-hitting center fielder from Commerce, Okla., won the batting title with a .353 average, the home run crown with 52 and the runs-batted-in title with 130. In addition, he led both leagues in runs scored with 132, in total bases with 376 and in slugging with a .705 average. Ted Williams of the Red Sox was sixth in the voting with 70 points; outfielder Bob Nieman of the Orioles and shortstop Gil McDougald of the Yankees were tied for seventh place with 55 votes each; Vic Wertz, who made a brilliant comeback with the Indians, was ninth with 45 and teammate Bob Lemon was tenth with 40.

Giants Favorites To Stay In Lead By UNITED PRESS Mel Triplett, a husky lad who has been supporting a family since he was in high school, is one of the big reasons New York Giant quarterbacks have lost only 21 yards this seasons while attempting to pass. Triplett is a six-foot, olfe-Inch 215-pound fullback. He gives passers Charley Conerly and Don Heinrich the best backfield blocking protection the team has had in years. Triplett has scored six touchdowns but he is most valuable to the National Football League’s Eastern Division leaders as a blocker on pass and running plays. Triplett and his teammates are seven — point favorites to retain their one-game lead Sunday at the expense of the Redskins. The Redskins (3-3) have upset the Cleveland Browns, Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions in 'their last three starts. The other selections for Sunday with won-lost records in parentheses: Bears (6-1) over Los Angeles Rams (2-5) at Chicago; Lions (6-1) over Baltimore Colts (3-3) at Detroit; Cardinals (5-2) over Steelers (2-5) at Pittsburgh; Browns (2-5) over Eagles (3-4) at Philadelphia; Packers (2-5) over San Francisco Forty — Niners (16) at Green Bay. Dawson May Return To Purdue's Lineup By UNITED PRESS Quarterback Len Lawson made a brief appearance at Purdue's secret practice Wednesday as Big Ten Football squad drilled in high gear for their next games. Dawson was forced to sit out the Michigan State game last weekend because of a shoulder injury, but Coach Jack Mollenkopf said Dawson may return to his signal calling spot against Northwestern Saturday. Reserve quarterback Dale Pienta also worked out with Northwestern, and apparently was recovered from a Charley horse. Coach Ara Parseghian planned to stick with Jack Ellis as the starting quarterback. Illinois sharpened its attack for the Wisconsin game. Coach Ray Elliot received another blow when right tackle Carl Johnson suffered a knee injury in scrimmage. Doubtful starters for Illinois include halfback Abe Woodson, and Gary Francis and guard Dave Walker. Backfield Intact Wisconsin concentrated on offense and defense as Coach Milt Bruhn kept his new, backfield intact. Sid Williams, who, has never started for the Badgers, was expected to get the call at quarterback Saturday. Indiana also was dealt a blow with the loss of first string fullback Bob Fee. He suffered a hermorrhage of his left thigh and a Severe Charley horse from practice Wednesday. Michigan, meanwhile, concentrated on a running attack for, the Indiana encounter. The varsity blitzed the third string, scoring six times in the first eight plays run from midfield. Fundamentals were stressed in the Minnesota practice. Coach Murray Warmath also revealed he would send the same backfield that battled lowa against Michigan State. Practice Quick Huddle Michigan State worked on signal drills including the use of the quick huddle. The Spartans also checked on pass defense and defensive alignments against a scrub team using Minnesota plays. A rainstorm shortened practice for the lowa Hawkeyes as they participated in another non-contact drill. Coach Forest Evashevski worked the squad about an hour Passing was the main feature of in the rain. the X)hio State workout. Coach Woody Hayes attempted to straighten Buckeye defenses for the running game of lowa. Notre Dame ran through the third straight day of heavy scrimmage in preparing for North Carolina. Coach Terry Brennan said quarterback Paul Hornung would probably see service at fullback in the game, with Bob Williams calling signals. Fined For Running Red Light In City Ray E. Slusser. 48, of Decatur route six, was arrested for running a red light at the .intersection of Fifth and Monroe streets Wednesay. He was fined $1 and costs in justice of the peace court.
