COMMODORES The Decatur Catholic Commodores, after leading most of the game, bowed to a rally of the Monmouth Eagles in the final three minutes and lost their first game of the young season on the Monmouth floor, 45 to 42, Friday night. The lose leaves the Commodores with a record of two victories and one defeat. For the Eagles, it was the second win in three games. The game was a low-scoring affair marked with ragged play, frequent fouling and considerable inaccuracy at the foul line. The Commodores, who were unable to convert a single free throw until the third quarter, lost the game as a result of inability to put the free tosses through the nets. The Decatur boys pulled into the lead immediately, outplaying the Eagles and outscoring them 12 to five in the initial period. The second quarter continued in much the same vein—neither team playing too well but the Commodores managing to hold their lead by sinking six more field goals while Monmouth could mark up only 10 additional points. The Decatur five were out in front, 24 to 15, at the halftime buzzer. Sparked by Wayne Myers, the Eagles improved a little in the third stanza while the Commodores lost what little touch they had from the field. By the end of the quarter Monmouth had cut the lead of their guests to two points and the score stood at 30 to 28. With tension running high in the final quarter, the two teams traded points frequently, the Commodores now utilizing the charity stripe to stay in the game and the Eagles connecting on several field* goals. The only Commodore fielder in the entire fourth- period was contributed by Glen Wilder, while the Eagles were hitting from the field. With about three minutes to go, the Decatur group was still hanging on with a 42 to 38 lead. However, only a minute elapsed before baskets by Myers and James McDougall for Monmouth tied the score. Another Myers fielder and a free throw by McDougall in the final seconds of the game clinched it for the Eagles. The Commodores used 23 Eagle fouls to sink only 12 of their 33 attempts at the foul line. Monmouth was able to mark up 17 charity marks out of 26 attempts as the result of 19 Commodore mistakes. The field goal total was 15 for the Decatur group and 14 for the host team. Four boys left the game in the final period on fouls, two from each team. The Commodores lost Dale Hake and TOm Meyer, while Monmouth lost Fritz Bulmahn and Dick Brandt on personals. Monmouth’s Myers was high point man of the game with 16 markers, all made in the second half. The Commodore scoring was balanced and Tom Meyer contributed nine points to lead the Decatur Catholic output. The Comodores next see action on their home floor Friday when they meet the Willshire, 0., Bearcats. Next Friday the Eagles continue their campaign at Hoagland in Allen county.
