Although they were outscored fi-on) the field, the Decatur Catholic Commodores turned in an easy 72 <.O 58 victory over the Andrews Cardinals of Huntington county Tuesday night on the Decatur court. After a brief scramble for the lead in the opening minutes of the game, the Green and Gold took command and refused to relinquish the lead for the remainder of the contest. The local boys piled up a comfortable margin in the first half and then used the last two quarters to hold their pace. The Card-

I big pushers during the decisive : second stanza, when the local, boys matched their first quarter output while limiting their visitors to six points on three field goals. It was the march to the fdul'iine that created the bulge. The Commodores scored eight of the onepointers on seven Cardinal fouls., An 11 point contribution by Collins during the third quarter might have shaved the Commodore lead but at the same time Hake was doing a fine job marking up 10 points. With each team gathering a total of 21 points during that period, the picture was not changed and the Commodores held a 55 to 39 lead going into the final stanza. Andrews’ little Charles Harvey, who had been playing active ball all evening, hit six shots from the field during the final eight minutes and the Commodores were emphatically outscored on* the two-pointers. However, Andrews’ aggressive desperation to pull out a rally led to much whistle blowing and their mistakes proved fruitful for Decatur Catholic. The Commodores marked up 11 free throws to offset the Harvey flurry. The game was ragged most of the way and featured frequent wild scrambles for a ball which just would not behave. The Commodores utilized 22 Andrews personals and one technical f'Mil to score 26 out of 39 tries at the charity stripe. They were stingy with their fouls, too. They allowed the Cardinals only 12 fouls to make four of 17 attempts. Ron Meyer was high point man with 28 markers. Harvey put through 21 points to lead the los-
