Commodores Win Over Marion Bennett Last Night: Jackets Lose

COMMODORES The Decatur Catholic Commodores soundly trounced an inadequate but scrappy Marion Bennett team by a score of 74 to 51 last night at the ihw Bennett gym in Marion. The local boys took the lead with less than a minute to go in the first quarter after looking ragged during most of the period, and then caught fire in the second stanza to grasp a film hold of the lead. The only contest was in the first period when neither team looked too spectacular. Marion took the lead with a field goal by their big 6’4” Nelson Stottz which came after more than a minute of play., Dave Kable then tied the score on a fielder after another minute and another minute went by before Don Raih hit for Marion to go into the lead. * The Trojans managed to- hang on to their slim lead until with about a minute to go Rem Meyer found his range and put one in to tie the score. Thirty seconds later, Phil Reed made a two-point play that put the Commodores ahead. In the second period, the local boys had worked out the kinks. Better control of the ball and a 27 point attack against their opponents withered the Trojans, who could only slightly improve on their first period play. Five field goals by Ron Meyer sparked the Commodore onslaught during the second period. Meyer looked good during that period in spite of Stottz* added height against him. After the main intermission which Decatur began with a 41 tq 30 advantage, the Commodores continued to outscore the Trojans. They added seven more points to the margin with a balanced attack, producing 17 markers while Marion could boost their score by only ( 10 points. The 58 to 40 bulge couldn’t be overcome and Bennett, fighting hard, did too much fouling and permitted the Decatur bunch to mark up another 16 points while the Trojans were limited to 11. Even in the final four minutes of the game when D. C. H. S. coach Al Lindahl gave all of his subs the chance to play, the Trojans couldn’t do any better. Marion was hampered by the loss of one of her first five who broke his foot last week. Friday

The Com--1 modores used 20 Trojan fouls to ! score 18 out of 32 tries at the char- > ity stripe. The 16 Decatur fouls gave Bennett 11 points out of 26 ! attempts. i Ron Meyer was outstanding scor- ’ er last night and showed a big im--1 provement over earlier games this . season. His contribution was 24 points. Reed, Hake, Kable and Tom Meyer divided the rest of the Commodore scoring, with each of them in double figures. Bennett’s big boy, Stottz, led " their scoring with 18 markers. 1 His team mate, Don Raih, added U points to the losing cause.

YELLOW JACKETS The Decatur Yellow Jackets sustained their first loss of the season Friday night after registering five consecutive victories, as they were edged by the Elwood Panthers, 60-58, at the Decatur gym. The triumph was the sixth of the season without a setback for the Elwood quintet. A red hot hand by Dick Mitchell carried the Panthers through to their squeaker. The senior forward poured 16 field goals through the hoop and added three free throws for a big total of 35 points. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way. Elwood took an early 5-0 lead but the Yellow Jackets moved right back into contention and finally went out in front at 8-7 after five minutes of play. With Bob Banks scoring seven points and Gene Baxter six, the Jackets held a 15-13 advantage at the end of the first period. Banks and Tony Kelly each scored in the first minute of the second chapter for a 19-13 margin but the Panthers quickly narrowed the gap. and although they failed to take the lead any time in the period. Elwood trailed *by only one point, 30-29, at the main intermission. The third quarter followed the same pattern. Decatur twice built up five-point leads but the Visitors came back each time, taking the lead at 39-38 and again at 43-42, but Baxter hit from the field for a 44-43 Decatur advantage at the close of the stanza. Ronnie Beasley opened the final quarter with his only field goal of the game to put Elwood out in front, a lead which the Panthers held to grimly until, with two minutes to play, Kelly clicked on his third fielder of the period for a 56-56 tie. Mitchell broke the tie with a free throw but Baxter dropped in his seventh two-pointer and Decatur was on top. 58-57. Then Mitchell countered with his 16th bucket, and when the Jackets called their sixth time out, it was a technical foul on Decatur and Mitchell dropped in the penalty shot and Elwood ran out the few remaining seconds. iMtchell, of course, was top scorer with his 35 points. Big Darrell McQuitty, 6-5 junior center, hit seven from the field but fouled out early in the fourth quarter after sitting out much of the third period. For Decatur, Banks led with 19, followed by Baxter with 15 and Kelly with 14. The Jackets had a woeful night at the foul line, sinking only 12 of 30 attempts on 21 Elwood fouls, while the Panthers converted six of only 13 chances on eight personals and one technical on Deca- - tur. - * — The Yellow Jackets will seek to start a new victory string next Friady night, entertaining the Columbia City Eagles in a Northeastejm Indiana conference game at the Decatur court. > Yellow Jackets FG FT TP Moses 0 2 2 Kelly - 7 0 14 Kirkpatrick 3 2 8 Banks 6 7 19 Baxter J 71 15 Shraluka 0 0 0 TOTALS 23 12 58 Elwood Mitchell -.-16 3 35 Huntsinger 10 2 McQuitty —7 0 14 Henn 13 5 Foutz — 10 2 Hover 0 0 0 Beasley 10 2 TOTALS 27 6 60 Officials: Davis, Terveer.

The Yanks’ victory gave them an unsurmountable 3-0 lead in the best-of-fiv# series and set up the 13th straight meeting between the U.S. and Australia in the challenge round matches starting Dec., 26 at Adelaide, Australia. Seixas, a 33-year old battle-test-, ed cup veteran fi&m Philadelphia, and 22-year old Giammalva from, Houston, Tex., teamed together remarkably well against India’s gallant but outmanned tandem. Seixas was all over the court, making almost impossible returns, and was a steadying influence on his youthful partner, who was appearing in his first interzone final. Giammalva Amuses Crowd Giammalva, extremely nervous at the outset, also was brilliant at times and amused 3,000 fans At the Royal Kings Tennis Club with his good-natured antics. The husky Texan with the legs of a fullback roared when he hit a ball out or when called for footfaults. He committed three foot-, faults and after one such call' turned his racquet as if it were, a gun and pointed it at the referee. He even had Seixas hollering with him. And when Giammalva was upset, especially in the fourth set when he dropped his service twice, Vic always would go up to him and pat him on the back. U.S. Team Dominates Actually the match was not as close as the score indicates. In both the third and fourth sets, the Indians got off to 2-0 leads only to have the U.S. pair overtake them.' In the second set, Seixas and* Giammalva obviously let down once they dropped behind. Several times instead of going for balls they could have returned, they gambled on them going out only to see them hit the line. But after the second set, the Yanks buckled down to business again and in one hour and 45 minutes they had wrapped it upFollowing the match, non-play-ing Captain Billy Talbert of the U.S. team said he would use Giammalva and Mike Green of Miami Beach, Fla., in Sunday’s concluding singles matches, which have now been reduced to mere exhibitions.
