Decatur Commodores Defeated By Larwill Friday Night, 75-63

A bad second quarter cost the Decatur Comodores their fourth setback of the season Friday night, losing to Larwill, 75-62, at the Decatur gym. It was the fifth triumph in six starts for the Whitley county quintet. The first quarter was a torrid scoring affair, with the scores tied three times and the lead changing hands six times, the per-, iod winding up with Larwill on top by a scant point, 20-19. The visitors slowly and steadity increased their margin in the second quarter, and went to the dressing room at the main intermission with a good advantage of 12 points at 46-34. The closest the Commodores could come in the third period was six points at 47-41, and Larwill carried a 60-51 margin going into the final eight minutes of play. A field goal each by Glen Wilder and Paul Gross in the first 40 seconds of the final quarter gave the Decatur fans renewed hope as the Larwill lead was cut to five points but Larwill pulled ahead again to 10 points. Don Baker’s 11th fielder of the game sliced the Decatur deficit to 67-61 with three minutes to play, but it was the Commodores’ last gaspL. Superior free throw shooting paid off for the winners. Each team hit 25 field goals, but Larwill converted 25 of 32 foul shots, while the Commodores made good on only 13 of 30. Willis Tuggle led Larwill with 25 points and Dave Sauers followed closely with 21. Baker topped the Commodoes with 22 but no other Decatur player could hit for double figures. The Commodores will meet

Two players did the bulk of the Convoy scoring, Etzler with 31 points and Gibson with 22. Roger Snyder tallied 12 points to be the only Spartan in double figures.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Muncie Central Wallops North Side, 91-49 INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Ron Bonham and his Muncie Central teammates took their wares to the far north Friday night and gave a convincing demonstration of why they are a pre-season favorite to cut down die nets at the Indiana high fbhool basketball finals next March. Die Bearcats crushed Fort Wayne North, 91-49, to highlight a weak holiday card of hardwood action that was made even lighter by a heavy*" snowstorm, which forced postponement of several key games. Among contests shelved as the first storm of the season hit the state were Washington at Jasper. Silver Creek at Springs Valley, Evansville Materi Dei at Holland, Evansville Reitz - Tell City, Evansville Central-Boonville, Rushville-Martinsville. Scores of lesser games involving smaller southern communities also were called off because of icy roads. Bonham, 6-4 ace of last season’s state finalists, poured in 30 points as Muncie overwhelmed North in the opener for the Redskins. Bonham had been going at better than a point-a-minute pace in limited action. It was Muncie’s third straight top-sided win. Attacks, Tech Win Indianapolis Attucks and Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, perennial contenders for die state crown warmed up for their showdown clash tonight with opening-game victories. Attucks had to storm from behind in the final four minutes to edge Sheridan, 51-44, and Gerstmeyer used subs most of the way as it romped to a 77-49 victory at the expense of Honey Creek. Crawfordsville, also one of last season’s finalists, won its third straight, 55-42, over Monticello, and Indianapolis Tech downed city rival Scecina, 85-70, despite a 24-point performance by the loser’s Dick Cook. Jimmy Rayl continued his highscoring antics with 23 tallies, but highly-regarded Kokomo needed a 64-56 overtime to shade winless Elwood. Marion added to North Central Conference preestige by sailing by Wabash, 66-56, but two other NCC members lost. Richmond was nailed by Fort Wayne Central, 91-53, as Bill Boyd hit 27, and Frankfort was ambushed by West Lafayette, 72 - 59. Bob Sorenson and Doug Reed combined for 47 points. It was the fourth win in a row for West Lafayette. Maidual Opens The Van Arsdale twins, Tom and Dick, scored 15 and 16 points respectively to lead Indianapolis Manual over city foe Cathedral, 71-46; Huntington used balanced scoring in a 52-33 Central Conference win over Peru; Kenny Strawn just missed the school scoring record as he tallied 34 to lead Connersville over Columbus, in the South Central loop, 76-60. and Dan Jensen made LaPorte’s opener a success by scoring 18 in a 62-57 decision over Gary Mann. The Horsemen’s Jerry Wilson took game scoring honors with 20. Clyde Spencer's paced Greencastle to a 72-67 overtime win at the expense of Lebanon. Gib Brown iced the win by hitting five points in the extra session. Lou Harvey rammed in 24 points and Ron Zalewski added 20 as South Bend Washington clipped Hammond Noll, 68-58, and South Bend Riley used a blanced scoring attack to run over Auburn, 65-55. Hammond Morton tripped South Bend St. Joseph's 58-55; Goshen took the measure of Plymouth, 4334, in a low scoring contest; Garrett barely won over Fort Wayne Catholic, 54 - 51, and Hammond Tech bumped Portage, 64-63.

Rules Louisiana's Law Unconstitutional NEW ORLEANS (UPD-Clem-son and Southern Methodist remain top contenders today for an invitation to meet-Louisiana State in the Jan. 1 Sugar Bowl, despite a Federal Court, ruling that Louisiana’s law forbidding interracial athletic events is unconstitutional. A three-judge Federal Court issued an injunction Friday against the enforcement of the 1956 segregation law, but a law prohibiting the mixing of spectators remained in effect. Louisiana Attorney G4LA? ra 1 Jack Gremillion said he\ WotHd ask permission to file an immediate appeal, but added that the"sppeal could not be heard before the Sugar Bowl classic. The segregated seating law disqualified the Air Force Academy from contention for the Sugar Bowl invitation, since the Falcons early this season cancelled a home and home contract with Tulane because of the seating requirement. The Executive Committee of the Mid-Winter Sports Assn., which sponsors the Sugar Bowl classic, met late Friday to 1 consider the Federal Court ruling, but issued no statement after the meeting. The selection committee was scheduled to meet this afternoon to choose LSU"s opponent. A member of the committee said the decision would probably be announced about 5:30 p.m. c.s.t. The Federal Court’s decision came on a suit filed by Negro lightweight Joseph Dorsey Jr., who maintained the law jeopardized his boxing career. Mike DeJohn Winner Against Besmanoff NEW YORK (UPD—Big Mike DeJohn — “the hardest hitting heavyweight in the business” according to Carmen Basilio — was offered a choice today of two January bouts with high contenders because of his slashing victory over Willie Besmanoff. DeJohn, the jolting giraffe from Syracuse, N.Y., whose ripping uppercuts won a unanimous 10round decision over stocky Besmanoff at Madison Square Garden. was offered another TV fight at the Garden and another video brawl at Syracuse. Germany’s Besmanoffl, patched up with 18 stitches after the bloody fight, returned to his new American home at Milwaukee today while De John was trying to decide which offer to accept. He is his own manager now. Decision Soon Promoter Norman Rothschild asked Mike, who stands six feet three and weighed 202%, to sign for a video 10-rounder with thirdranked Zora Folley at the Syracuse Auditorium, Jan. 16. Matchmaker Jack Barrett of the International Boxing Club asked 26-year-old Mike to sign for a January fight with the winner of the Garden’s Dec. 19th between contenders Nino Valdes and Pat McMurtry. “I’ll decide in a couple of days,’’ said Mike. Besmanoff, scaling 201 pounds, tried to beat his lanky opponent with a hooking attack aimed principally at the body. But Mike’s uppercuts to the head blasted him upright at times, staggering him in the second, fourth, sixth and ninth sessions. Both Suffer Gashes At the finish Besmanoff was bleeding from cuts on both brows, under the left eye, on the right forehead and nose. DeJohn suffered some gashes, himself — on the right brow, right cheek and mouth — requiring nine stitches. But Mike was almost jackknifed by body blows in the first and seventh rounds. Willie was warned for low punches in the latter session. On a rounds basis, DeJohn won the decision: 6-3-1, 5-4-1, 5-4-1. The United Press International agreed, 5-4-1. An estimated 2,000 paid $5,000. It was DeJohn’s 36th victory in 42 bouts, and Besmanoff’s 13th defeat in 59.

Colls, Browns Big Favorites To Win Sunday By JOE SARGIS .United Press International John Unitas, Lenny Moore and the other frisky Baltimore Colts are 13% point choices to clinch at least a tie for the National Football League’s Western Division title Sunday by defeating the visiting San Francisco Forty-Niners. A capacity crowd of 5?,557 will attend the game. The Browns, a game ahead of the New York Giants in the Eastern race, are 13% point favorites to defeat the Washington Redskins at Cleveland before about 50,000. Each of the 12 teams will have two more regular season games after Sunday’s contests. The Colts (8-1) are two games ahead of the runner-up Chicago Bears (6-3) and will capture the ' Western crown outright if they win and the Steelers (5-4) defeat the Bears at Pittsburgh. The Bears are 3% point favorites but the Steelers, much stronger since they obtained quarterback Bobby Layrie from the Detroit Lions, now are the league’s hottest club with four straight victories. Giants Rate Win New York (6-3) entertains the Philadelphia Eagles (2-6-1). The Giants are nine-point choices but must stop Norm Van Brocklin. one of the league’s busiest and best passers. The Los Angeles Rams <5-4) are seven-point favorites to defeat the Cardinals (2-6-1) at Chicago in the other game. The Lions (4-5-1) and Green Bay Packers (1-8-1) are idle after playing Thursday with Detroit winning 24-14. San Francisco faces a stiff chore at Baltimore. The Colts have swept seven home games extending into last season and currently lead the league in scoring with 306 points while allowing the fewest, 125. Colts’ Numerous Receivers Unitas, Baltimore’s No. 1 quarterback, was sidelined two weeks with cracked ribs but returned to action against the Rams last week and threw two touchdown passes to bring his 1958 total to 14. Moore has turned 37 catches into 809 yards and six touchdowns and also ran for six. One defensive man cannot cov- ' er Moore. Two men have trouble covering him —and the Colts have two other top-notch receivers in Raymond Barry and Jim Mutscheller. Berry has caught seven • touchdown passes and Mutscheller 1 five. The Browns (7-2) face a return tussle with a Washington team they defeated two weeks I ago, 20-10, by scoring 10 points in t the last three minutes. Jim i Brown, Cleveland fullback who. al- - ready has collected an all-time ■ season rushing high of 1,229 yards this year, gained 152 yards and f scored two touchdowns in the mud > ’ ' .- zi ’ J:' '

during that game. The Redskins (3-6) have been hampered all season by injuries. The Brownies are in good shape., EMPLOYMENT Continued from pa<e on* from the department’s “substantial labor surplus" list of unemployment centers, reducing the total to its lowest level sinee March. Areas with 6 per cent or more workers unemployed fell to an eight-month-low total of 83 in midNovember. The six areas dropped from this “substantial” unemployment list were Indianapolis; Minneapolis - St. Paul, Minn.; Fort Worth;' Tex.; Dayton, Ohio; Hamilton - Middletown, Ohio, and Columbus, Ga. The department said these areas were reclassified as “having relatively moderate unemployment." Atlantic City an Exception Atlantic City, N.J., was the only area to’ move into a higher unemployment bracket, shifting from the 6 to 9 per cent level to 9 to 12 per cent. The total number of areas in the 9 to 12 per cent bracket dropped from 20 to 17 and the number of areas reporting more than 12 per cent unemployment declined from 15 to 11. However, the total of 11 areas with more than 12 per cent unemployment this month contrasted with only two a year ago; the 17 areas with 9 to 12 per cent unemployment this month compared with a total of five in November, 1957; and, there were 55 areas still with 6 to 9 per cent jobless where there were 17 a year ago.
