Anderson St Mary's Wins CIC Tournament; Commodores Are Third

Decatur's Catholic Commodores won a thrilling 49-46 overtime Central Indiana Catholic conference tournament game over Marion Bennett Saturday at Marion to take third place in the league playoff. Earlier Saturday, the Commodores lost to the eventual CICC champion, St. Mary's of Anderson, by a 76-63 count in a tough ball game. St. Mary's won the title in the final game, 71-70, although Huntington Catholic had them hanging on when the final gun j sounded. Three Commodore All-Stars Three Commodore seniors, Don Baker, Tom Grpss, and Jim Omlor, were among ten players chos-| en by the coaches to the all-star team. Gross, who led the local shooters in scoring for both contests, finished with 35 points for the fifth high in the tourney. Baker. a repeat all-CICC performer, favored a badly bruised heel, and netted only two points in the opener, adding 13 in the consolation game. Gross, who tallied 21 in thtj first clash, notched 14 in the evening and Jim Omlor hit for 12. Coach Al Lindahl platooned his senior starting five with the "junior whiz kids” in the first game, and both worked well in spurts, but fell before the rebounding of 6-4 Paul Harber and the dead-eye firing of little Tim Broderick. Harber edged his 5-7 St. Mary's teammate for tourney scoring honors by a 50-49 count. Kids* Whit The “kids,” sophomores Tom Kohne, Jerry Heiman, and Steve Blythe and juniors Don Kitson and Phil Lose, race-horsed the Anderson Gaels early in the second half, cutting the 12-point Gael lead to four points before tiring. Gross and Baker kept the pressure on, but four fouls slowed Gross, and Baker's heel benefited only St. Mary's. Broderick canned shots from all over the court, adding 12 points during the second half splurge, and Harber closed the gap with seven points in the second half with real pressure on his lean shoulders as the Commodores threat came to an end. The Gaels fired .389 with 28 of , 71 shots, while DCHS dropped a respectable 22 of 64 through th® • : netting for a .344 percentage, Un-1J like the first game, the DecaturMarion contest was a slow-paced j game as the Trojans play a pos- , session style of ball. The Commo- ! dores hit .409 with 20 of 49 as the Trojans netted a .400 with 18 of 45. Working Better In the overtime classic, the Commodores worked together like a well-oiled machine, despite being ; behind throughout the first three periods. Omlor, Baker and Gross led the fourth period surge, netting all 13 points scored, tying the contest with 1:21 to play. Both teams missed shots in the final seconds, sending the game into overtime. Jerry Heiman joined four seniors to play out the extra short period, sinking a free throw to give the Commodores a one-point 1 lead. Jim Omlor added a fielder with five seconds left in the hectic game to ice the cake. In the title game, Huntington’s Ramblers fell far behind at the onset and it looked like they never would get into the game. The Gaels pulled away by 20 points late in the second period, but slacked off to 15 at the half as Broderick and Harber peppered the nets with better than .500 accuracy.

Ramblers closed the gap as Dillon and Godfroy started hitting. Bob Briggs and Dick Scheiber then gave Harber fits under the defensive bucket and the run-away became a pretty contest, but the Gaels still maintained a nine-point spread to start the final session. Briggs fouled out early and Scheiber followed soon after adding four points in the crucial per- | iod. But the Gaels hit 11 of 15 free (throws going with only two baskets to hang on for the championship. Huntington netted nine field;ers and five of seven charity throws in the last period in their inear climb from oblivion. Face Rams Next The Commodores next face the tough Ramblers on Wednesday, in what should be a tough game, if ' the local lads keep the loose ends tied. The all-CICC basketball team, for 1959-60 is: Decatur — Tom Gross, Don Baker, Jim Omlor: St. Mary’s—Paul Harber and Tim Broderick; Marion Bennett—Terry Cassidy, Ray Guerrero, and Joe 1 Oyler: Huntington Catholic—Mike Dillon and- Jac'..

Giants Clinch At Least Tie For East Title ' By EARL WRIGHT United Press International The other 35 New York Giants soon may join Charley Conerly in . riding around in new automobiles The $25,000 bevy ot gifts Conerly received Sunday at Yankee ' Stadium included two brand new ' autos. The 38-year-old quarterback 1 immediately went into high, gear 1 against one of his favorite tari gets, the Washington, Redskins. Conerly has a little Choctaw Indian blood in him. Maybe it helps make him particularly efective against the Redskins. Anyway, he threw two touchdown passes to Bob Schnelker, one to Kyle Rote and set up a scoring run by Alex Webster and a Pat Summerall field goal. Conerly, who has thrown 33 of his 156 National Football League touchdown passes against the Redskins, enjoyed his spree in the first 29 minutes. Then he sat down to rest for a dance in his honor while the Giants whizzed to a 45-14 triumph that clinched at least a tie for the Eastern Division title. Two Games In Front The Giants now are two games in front with two to play. It’s a virtual certainty each of them can count on at least a $3,500 slice of championship game money and a new car if they want to match Conerly on the highway. New York got sterling help from the San Francisco FortyNiners, also giving their Western title hopes a huge boost, scored three times in less than seven minutes to edge the Browns at Cleveland, < 21-20. The Steelers, with Bobby Layne throwing four touchdown passes, whipped the Philadelphia Eagles at Pittsburgh, 31-0. j The Browns and Eagles started the day only a game behind the Giants but virtually lost all hope by losing. Coach Paul Brown, whose Browns invade New York next Sunday, told what the FortyNiners had done to his team's Eastern chances in two words: “That’s it.” Colts Remain Tied The Baltimore Colts remained tied with San Francisco for the Western lead by downing the Los Angeles Rams, 35-21, at home behind the passing of John Unltas. The Chicago Bears kept their Western hopes alive, remaining a i game behind the two leaders by thumping the Chicago Cardinals, 31-7, in Sunday’s other game. Each of the 12 clubs has two more

Report Sieve Sebo Out As Penn Coach REPORT STEVE SEBO PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — Rutgers head Coach John Stiegman will replace Steve Sebo as football coach at the University of Pennsylvania, the United Press International learned Sunday on excellent authority. Sebo’s team defeated Cornell on Thanksgiving Day to win the Ivy League title but reports of more than a year persisted that he would not be rehired and would be replaced by Stiegman, one-time aide to the late Charley Caldwell at Princeton. Sebo was hired in 1954 to succeed George Munger and his second three-year contract expired at the end of the Cornell game as Penn finished with its best record since 1947 and its first offical Ivy title. The former backfield coach at Michigan State and an overall record of 18-35-1 hnd this past season was his first winning one in hia sjx-year tenure. The Quakers were not rated as an Ivy League contender this season but they surprised In winning their first four games, including a victory over defending champion, Darthmouth. Their only loss was to Harvard and they tied Navy, 22-22.
