The Decatur Catholic Commodores, playing sparkling basketball in the final quarter, ended a five game winning streak for the Huntington Catholic Ramblers by handing them a 56 to 44 defeat at the Huntington community gym Tuesday night. It was a much closer game than the final score Most of the Commodore bulge was built up in the last four minutes of the game when the local boys finally shook off the doldrums and showed their fans that they really know how to play basketball. The game started out slowly with an almost miserable first half (or both teams. Loose officiating and ragged play on both sides added to poor shooting percentages to mar the early portions of the game. The Commodores went into an early 4 to 0 lead on a field goal by Dave Kable and free throws by Ron Meyer and Phil Reed but after more than four minutes of play the Huntington group, connecting on three field goals, went into the lead. The quarter ended with Huntington ahead, 11 to 8. The second period was little better although the local boys improved a share on their shooting and gathered 14 points to their opponents 13. This cut down the Huntington half time advantage by one point and the score at the main intermission was 24 to 22. — X .Both teams had better control of(he ball after they came back from their half-time rest. Quick field goals by Ron Meyer and Kable put the Decatur boys back in the lead for the first time since the early minutes of the contest. The Ramblers took over again before the quarter was over but Decatur managed to pull up to a 34

Sparked by the accuracy of Kable, and the rebound and ball control of the much improved Dale Hake and Reed, the Decatur quintet poured 22 points through the hoops and limited their foes to 10. The Commodores went right out in front after the opening tip-off with a field goal by Kable and stayed there with some brilliant team ( play. The Huntington charges of Richard Barr stayed on the heels of their guests until, with about three minutes left, they folded up and allowed the Commodores to pile up the 12 point victory advantage. To indicate how hot the local boys were, they connected 10 times on their 22 fieldfoal attempts during" the quarter while the Huntington bunch could mark up only four of their 21 tries.

Shelley Mann Wins 31st Gold Medal For U.S. MELBOURNE (UP) — Shelley Mann of Arlington, Va., America’s most versatile swimmer, gave the United States its 31st gold medal of the Olympic Games today by winning the women’s 100-meter butterfly event in a 1-2-3 finish by American girls. A gold medal in star class yachting in the afternoon and 26 points in the two women’s swimming events gave the United States barely enough points to stave off the fast-moving Russians. The Soviets threatened to take over the team lead by scoring heavily in women’s gymnastics and shooting. With a few minor placings still not declared official, the United States led Russia in the overall team standings, Earlier tonight, husky George Breen of Buffalo, N.Y., set a world record of 17:52.9 in a qualifying heat for Saturday’s 1,500 meter freestyle final and that set the tempo for the rest of the night. Miss Mann, holder of 13 American championships, churned to a new Olympic butterfly record of 1:11, .2 better than the mark she set in earlier trials. jt '-> First by Two Yiffis “ She bit the finish two yards ahead of Nancy Ramey of Merger Island, Wash., and Mary Jane Sears of Chevy Chase, Md., finished third for a sweep of all three medals. Judy Grinham of Great Britain won the women's 100-meter backstroke but Carin Cone of Ridgewood, N.J., won the silver medal and five team points for second place. Maureen Murphy of Portland, Ore., finished fifth and contributed two points. Miss Grinham set a new Olympic record of 1:12.9 and Miss Cone, a 16-year-old high school girl, was caught in the same clocking so will share the new mark. The old record of 1:13 set in earlier trial heats by Margaret Edwards of Great Britain, who finished third to Miss Cone. In addition. Dick Conner of Pasadena, Calif., third after three dives in the morning, vaulted into first place in the tower dive with a brilliant performance in the three evening dives. Becomes Favorite Conner thus became the. favorite to win the high dive in Thursday night’s final because coming up are the free or optional dives at which Americans are especially adept. Conner piled up a total of 80.24 points with his strong diving in the night session. Joaquin Capilla of Mexico was second with 78.68 points and two other Americans were close enough to challenge. Big Gary Tobian of Los Angeles was in fourth place and Bill Farell of Evanston, 111., was sixth. Breen, a burly blond, cracked the bld 1,500-meter freestyle record of 17:59.5 set earlier this year bv lT.™»ar-oM Murray Rose of Australia and thereby became the second in history to swim the “meui mile” under 18 minutes.
