Commodores Win Over ' • > X J ' ' Adams Central Tuesday Night By 80-60 Score

The Decatur Catholic Commodores, returning to their pre-tour-ney form, smothered the Adams Central Greyhounds, 80 to 60, on the Central court Tuesday night in a return engagement for the two rivals. Earlier In the season the Greyhounds lost a 76 to 61 decision to the Decatur boys. It was the first quarter which decided the contest. The visitors swished 26 points through the hoops while Adams Central sought their range in vain and connected with only nine markers. Grabbing the opening tip, Decatur went right into the lead on charity tosses by Dave Kable and Ron Meyer. Jim Steiner then put in two Adams Central free throws to make the score 3 to 2 in the opening minute but after that the Commodores pulled away. Aided by a balanced scoring attack, including six for six free throws by Kable, who didn’t miss one the whole night, the Commodores kept good control of the ball and piled up the 17-point bulge by the end of the first quarter. The Greyhounds barked louder in the second quarter, with Ron Corson hitting four from the field and Steiner marking up 10. But the team's tot-. 21 points were matched with an equal amount by the Commodores. Starting the third quarter with a 47 to 30 Commodore lead, each group padded their score by 14 in a listless stanza marked trips to the Adams Central charity line as the result cf Conimodore fouling. The last quarter was also a parade free throw lanes and Adams Central failed to capitalize cn the many Decatur fouls, which pushed Dale Hake and Bill Beal out of the game. When the Commodores weren’t fouling, however, they were putting field goals where they counted and rolled in 19 points to 16 Greyhound markers for the decisive victory. A total of 45 fouls was called during the contest, 27 on Decatur and 18 on the Greyhounds. The Commodores made better use of their free throws, hitting 22 out of good ones. Jim Steiner was the evening's outstanding player. He not only pushed through exactly half of his team's final score but was the main threat to the Commodore control of the ball. The Commodores divided the scoring honors. Reed and Tom Meyer each contributed 20, Kable gave 18 and . Last night’s contest gave the Ron Meyer marked up 16. Commodores a record of nine wins and four losses. Adams Central's record is reversed, four wins and nine losses. The Commodores will be in ac- 1 they travel to Clear Lake in Hunt- ] ♦ion again Saturday night when ington county. The Greyhounds will be host to the Hartford Go- J rillas Friday night.

Irvin Appeal From Death Before Court Condemned Killer Makes Last Appeal INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—The only condemned killer in Indiana’s death house makes his last appeal to escape the electric chair before a state court today. Leslie Irvin, 33, a former Evansville steamfitter, is in solitary confinement at Indiana State Prison near Michigan City awaiting execution for one of’fix cold-blooded murders he was accused of committing for a paltry sum of less than 85 stolen from the victim. He won’t be there in person today when his attorneys outline their oral arguments before the Indiana Supreme Court. More than two years ago., tilling station attendant W. Wesley Kerr was ’ shot in a holdup at Evansville. At the time, it was just another slaying that defied police efforts toward a solution. ‘ Kerr’s death, however, developed into a keystone in the ease against

Irvin. In the next four months a series of six crimes in two states remained unsolved, and authorities said all looked like the work of a “mad dog” killer who usually, made his victims kneel and shot them in the back of the head “Chinese execution” style. I An Evansville liquor store woman clerk,'a Posey County farmwife, and a Henderson, Ky., family of three subsequently became victims of the killer over a fourmonth span from December, 1854, to April, 1955.
