Commodores Win Over Eagles By One Point; Tigers Wallop Jackets

COMMODORES The Decatur Catholic Commodores escaped with a spine-tingling 59-58 victory over a vastly improved Monmouth squad, but the Commodores came home with little else after Tuesday night's game at the Eagle gym before a near capacity crowd. Eagle coach Don Elder’s young team (a freshman, two sophomores, a junior and a senior) stayed right with the senior Commodore squad, trading basket for basket, almost pulling one of the major upsets in the county this year. Eagles Tough To Stop Coach Al Lindahl’s veteran quintet tried a zone on the small Eagle floor, but the outside gunning of Waldo Bultemeier, who canned five long, long fielders hr the first quarter, finished that. The man to man defense proved a little more effective in the second quarter, but the Eagles outhustled the bulkier Commodores under the boards. After a 28-28 tie game at halftime, the Comfnodores tried a press, which only temporarily stymied the Eagles. In the last period, the Commodores finally gained control of the defensive bucket, limiting the Eagles to one shot at the basket per offensive try. The defensive work of 6-4% Loren Bieberich stood out for the Monmouth squad as he repeatedly kept the pivot clear of shots. While not an offensive standout, the tall junior should improve as his guards attempt to feed him a little more. Don Baker, long shooting Commodore guard, netted 22 points to lead his team in that department. Bultemeier finished as the game's top scorer with 23, mainly on those shots from way out. Heimann Comes To Life

Jim Heimann, senior Commodore forward, finally shook loose and eventually proved the difference in the ball game. He played his best all-around game in two years, besides gaining 12 important points. Coach Lindahl said after the game that “tlje boys played a good, hustling game.” The next encounter for the Commodores is Jan. 8 at Hartford Center with the Eagles at Geneva that night. The Eagles are now 1-8, while Decatur Catholic is 4-Aon the year. FG FT TP Baker i. 9 4 22 Gross 16 8 Jim Heimann — 3 6 12 S. Omlor 6 3 15 J.

Indiana Meets Notre Dame In Classic Final INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Indiana and Notre Dame clash in the feature of the eighth annual Hoosier Classic college basketball extravaganza tonight with the Hoosiers from the Big Ten risking their lofty national rating. Indiana, beaten only by Missouri in six games and rated 10th in the country, overwhelmed deadgame host Butler Tuesday night, 91-85, while the Irish led Purdue most of the way for an 82-79 victory. Although no official “championship” is awarded in this two-night pre-holiday hardwood show, the winner of tonight’s feature will be recognized as Classic titlist. Butler and Purdue play for consolation honors Indiana had too much height and balance for Butler, which nevertheless had the outstanding shotmaker the first night in 6-4 Ken Pennington, who tossed in 36 points to eclipse the old singlegame Classic record of 33 shared by two other former Butler stars— Ralph (Buckshot) O’Brien and Bobby Plump. Frank Radovich. 6-11 Walt Bellamy and sophomore Charlie Hall got Indiana off to a 6-0 lead in the opennig seconds and the Hoosiers kent applying the pressure loir • 24-7 lead midway through the first half—including 14 consecutive points. It was 32-12—a 20-point bulgebefore the Hoosiers let up and coach Branch McCracken substituted freely. But Butler, frigid in the opening minutes, warmed up and made a ballgame of it in the second half. Four straight buckets by Orville Bose and the consistent shooting of Pennington narrowed the gap to 55-50 early in the second half. Then it was Radovich, Bellamy,: Herbie Lee and Jerry Bass who sent the Hoosiers away once more to a 15-point lead with 6:40 left, and Butler never recovered. Indiana canned 39 fieldgoals for another single-game Classic record. Notre Dame twice hit 34 against Purdue in 1950 and Indiana two years ago.
