Com modores Win The Decatur Catholic Commo-, dores had little trouble with the Spartans in the opener. After Don Baker hit his first shot for the winners, the Commodores scored five points before Jack Butler broke the scoring ice for Pleasant Mills. The Decatur lads then rang up the next seven points to hold a big 12-2 margin at the end of the first quarter. The Commodores increased their advantage to 12 points. 26-14, at the half, and optscored the Spartans. 20-10. in the third period for a commanding 46-24 bulge at the third period. Baker was the offensive show for the winners as the big guard, last year’s county scoring leader, banged in 26 points, the only Commodore in double figures. However, nine of the 10 players used by Coach Al Lindahl broke into the scoring column. The Spartans' veteran guards did the bulk of their scoring, Dwight Brunner tallying 13 points and Jack Butler 12. Slow Down Game Coach Don Elder chose to play a control type of game with his Eagles in the nightcap against the Bears. The strategy worked pretty well throughout the entire first half, too. as the Eagles, while unable to take the lead at any time, left the floor at the main intermission trailing by only three points. Nearly two minutes of the game had elapsed before Phil Sprunger put Berne in front with

Four Big Ten Gaines Slated For Saturday CHICAGO lUPl'—The Big Ten basketball schedule Saturday night frits Ohio State, the league's top offensive team, against Northwestern. the league's defensive specialist The Bu ckeyes. leading the league with a record of two straight victories over Illinois and Indiana, have averaged 96 points per game. The Wildcats, 2-1. have permitted only an average of 66 points per game to their league foes, lowest in the conference. The league-leading Bucks, whose scoring punch could be cancelled out by Northwestern's tight defense, were favored having the advantage of playing on their lowa and Purdue Will clash before the television cameras at lowa City in a matinee battle for second place, now held by the Hawkeyes with a 3-1 conference mark. The Boilermakers will exhibit the Big Ten’s top scorer in Terry Dischinger, a 6-7 sophomore who canned 43 points against Illinois Monday night to boost his per game average to 34.3 points In other games, Illinois and Michigan State wil seek to escape from a four-way deadlock for third place. The game, another afternoon affair, will be played on the Ilini floor where the hosts defeated Minnesota in their only league game at home thus far. Minnesota goes to Michigan where it was favored to better its 1-1 record with a victory over the winless Wolverines. All-Star Bowling Concludes Tonight

OMAHA. Neb. (UPD — Stocky Bob Chase, who changed his approach and started wearing -a glove Thursday, was in the lead today going into the pay off matches of the national All-Star Bowling tournament. The 100-game grind which began a week ago .Thursday ends tonight with the final quartet of four-game matches. Chase, a 27-year-old bowling instructor from Kansas City, Kan., has been in the tournament only once before. He finished 52nd last year at Buffalo. N.Y., but if he 'could keep his strike ball humming today he was in a position to win. He would have to beat off strong challenges which were sure to come from some of the old pros in the lineup. Harry Smith, Don Carter and Billy Welu, all of St. Louis, were grouped behind him at the three-quarter point. Marion Ladewig, Grand Rapids, Mich., who has almost made a career of collecting All-Star championship trophies, was perched on top of the women's standings going into tonight’s closing rounds. Mrs. Ladewig. who was one point ahead of-forirfSr chaSapion Sylvia Wene, Philadelphia, has won the crown seven times and was defending it again this year. Tonight's victor will pick up $lO 000 and the women’s titlist will collect $5,000 as a $60,000 jackpot is split.
