The visitors stayed in the van until the last minute of the period, when Tony Kelly hit from the field and added a Pair of free throws a few seconds later to send the Jackets to the locker room with a scant . 29-28 lead at the half. , < A brace of foul tosses and a two-pointer, all by Larry Moses, upped Decatur's lead to five points in the first minute of the third quarter, but the Windmills pulled into ties at 33-33 and 35-35, but a three-point play by Kelly put the - Jackets on top to stay. Decatur's lead was only five points at the start of the fourth quarter, 4&40, but two-pointers by Bob Banks and Moses, plus two free throws each by Moses and Baxter zoomed Decatur's margin to 13 points, 53-40. in the first two minutes of the final stanza.

COMMODORES The Decatur Catholic Commo- > dores bowed to the superior play- » making skill of the Harlan Hawks : Friday night at the Leo gym and i lost their final game of the seat son, 73 to 60. r The Adams county boys kept ( pace with their hosts during the j first half, trailing by only one to , five points in most of the first j two stanzas; but they must have j left their drive in the dressing . room when they came back on I the floor after the main intyrmisson. Only the fact that the > Hawks were missing many beauj tiful layups saved the Commoj dores form a mure humiliating 5 trouncing. I During the first half the Green r and Gold came through at times ) with some of their early season I spark. Ron Meyer, who led his I teammates in the scoring column, - turned in a fine performance 1 throughout the entire game, both offensively and defensively. Both teams got oft to a rather slow start and then perked about midway in the first quarter. Dick Harris’ jump shot in the first minute and free throws by Joe Bollier gave Harlan an opening 4 to 9 lead. A three point play by Phil. Reed cut the lead to one point and then Harlan-’s impressive little Max Kees hit his first of nine field goals. Ron Meyer then put in a fielder for Decatur and a few seconds later Dave Kable hit on a free throw to tie the score. The teartis played hip and tuck ■ the rest of the quarter. With about , eight seconds to go the score was 18 to 17 for Harlan and Kable shot ■ a one-hander through the hoops to [ give the Commodores a slim 19 , to 18 advantage. The second quarter opened with a Meyer field goal which gave the. , Commodores a three-point lead > but Kees quickly cut it back to I one and then Bollier sank one to fiand the lead back to Harlan. A minute later the lead shifted ' back to Decatur on a Meyer fieldl er but then Harris connected on a 1 fielder and the Hawks never trailed again. Harlan used the remainder of the period to mark up > a 34 to 27 bulge. The third quarter cementfed the' I game for the Allen county bunch. ! Led by Kees, the Hawks had a > 19-point quarter while they limitl ed their guests to 13 markers and I the* period ended with Harlan out - in front, 53 to 40. > The Commodores were able, largely through charity tosses, to * keep pace with the Hawks during 5 the final period, but they were ■ unable to cut the lead. Each 5 team padded its total by 20 points, 5 during the last stanza. ' Even a difference in the numr ber of fouls called was not much f help to Decatur Catholic. Harlan 1 committed 26 fouls and the Com--1 modores put in 22 of 35 attempts * from the charity line. Harlap, ! meanwhile, used 16 Commodore fouls to mark up 19 points on 26 tries. Max Kees poured through 26 points to lead the scoring for the game. Joe Bollier contributed 22 points to Harlan’s total. Ron Meyer was high for Decatur Catholic with 21 points. The loss left Decatur Catholic with a season record of 12 victories and 7 defeats. Harlan is sec- * ond in Allen county standings with ’ a record of 15 wins and five los- ■ ses.

Carmen Basilio Is Winner By Knockout CLEVELAND (UP J- Carfnen Basilio, the snarling tiger man who flattened Johnny Saxton with perhaps the second fastest knockout in welterweight title history Friday night, challenged today for the middleweight crown. “I want a shot at the winner of the Gene Fullmer-Ray Robinson fight.” announced the fiery slugger who staggered Saxton a dozen times and smashed him to the canvas with a booming left hook for a knockout at 2:42 of the second round before 8,514 at Cleveland Arena, in their title "rubber match.” About 848,000 richer for less than six minutes of work, the champion from Chittenango, N.Y., sought “a real big-money fight” outdoors in May with middleweight ruler Fullmer or Sugar Ray, who are slated for a title bout at Chicago Stadium, April 24. Carmen Pressed Attack ; Meanwhrter Carmen* wes offtred a guarantee of 875,000 for a defense of his own 147-pound bonnet against the winner of next Tueiday’s fight at Newark, N.J., between Vince Martinez and exchamp Kid Gavilan. Craggy-faced Basilio's kayo of streamlined Saxton in their third encounter was not the fastest in welter title history; for Jimmy McLarnin belted out Young Corbett. the third, at 2:37 of the first round on May 30, 1933 at Los Angeles. Basilio, 29. was snarling and grim-faced as he tore after Saxton at the opening bell. Saxton. 26-year-old New Yorker, had wrested the title from him on a questionable decision at Chicago last March, and lost the title back to him on a ninth-round TKO at Syracuse, N.Y. last September: "Saxton promised to make' • running fight against me last night," the champion explained, "And I know he was out to louse me up—even if he didn’t beat me.
