Eight Lettermen Return To Monmouth Eagles; To Open Season November 1

(Editor’s Note: First of a series of articles on the eight Adams county basketball teams and their prospects for 1961-62.) By 808 SHRALUKA Coach Don Elder, of the Monmouth Eagles rates his prospects as only fair for the coming season, but indications are that this year’s edition of the Eagles could be a throwback to the 1953-56 Eagle teams which held a stranglehold on the local sectional. Elder has eight returning lettermen in camp, which include the Brown (Braun) boys, another of last year’s starters in Dave Singleton, and his sixth man of last season in Ken Kolter, a rugged redhead. The Eagles possessed a good outfit last year which lacked only experience, but they have that important experience this season, and the sky appears to be the limit for them. Plenty of Scoring B & B, Don Brown and Dennis Braun, tallied a big 582 points between them as only sophomores last year, and this is a fine point to begin building a team. Brown finished second in the county in scoring, tallying an outstanding 370 points, mostly on a fine jump shot. The other half, Braun, tallied 212 points and came along fine toward the end of last season, and looks to be one of the county’s'best this year. Both boys are juniors, stand 6-1, and weigh in at 170 pounds. Both are good rebounders, especially Dennis, who plays a forward post. If this wasn’t enough, Elder, a Ball State grad, has another starter back in Dave Singleton, who scored 119 points last year. The word is that Dave has improved his scoring and should display it even better this year. Kolter At Center An on and off starter last season, 6-2, 200 pound Ken Kolter, will take over for departed Loren Bieberich at the center spot and Will be counted on for a lot of rebounding. He is a rugged lad and showed fine ability last year — The. fifth starter appears to come from one of two boys, 6-2 Clarence Scheuman or 5-11 Vernon Witte. With experience, both can be real good basketbailers. Heading a strong bench is Roger Spencer, a little guy with probably more hustle and desire than anyone in the county. Rog is a defensive standout despite his height disadvantage, and seems to be able to spread his fire and dash to other team members. Seniors Leroy Boerger and Don Gehres, and Jerry Liby and Dean Schieferstein, a pair of 6-2 sophomores, round out the bench strength. Elder, who guided the Eagles

to an 11-10 record in 1960-61, and a near upset of vaunted Berne in the county tourney, rates Berne, Ossian, and Bishop Luers as three of his really tough opponents this season. He rates his team, which opens their season Nov. 1 entertaining Lafayette Central at home, as having “fair” prospects for a good year, but he can’t help but be more optimistic than that when he gets right down to it.

NCAA Would ! Limit College ■ Net Activities I NEW YORK (UPD - Member schools of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) will be asked to approve a rigid proposal in January that would preJ vent college basketball players • from participating in any or- ■ ganized summer competition. I The NCAA’s policy - directing council Tuesday endorsed an amendment that would limit the I college basketball player’s activity from Oct. 15 to the middle of March. If the proposal gains the necessary two-thirds majority passage ’ at the NCAA’s 56th annual convenI tion in Chicago. Jan. 11-13, it ’ would put an end to college court [ stars taking part in summer tourI naments, such as those held at ’ upstate New York resorts as well [ as church team competition. Attack On Gambling Walter Byers, executive director of the NCAA, said that the 18- ; man council’s proposed action was in compliance with the NCAA’s 16-point program to help stamp out gambling evils which have arisen. Investigations into last year’s college basketball "fix” scandals revealed that some of the players involved had met with the bribers at Catskell Mountain resorts to discuss “point - shaving and fixing.” The NCAA’s list of “black-list-ed” teams remained at seven Tuesday when it placed East Tennessee State College and Tennessee Tech on probation and restored rights and priveleges to Arizona (Tempe > State and Montana State College. The Tennessee schools, both members of the Ohio’ Valley CoifI ference with about 5,000 enroll- . ments each, were charged with ! violating regulations on recruiting land financial aid to athletes. T East Tennessee State will Be on I probation- for one year- but will[be allowed to participate in all NCAA championship competition. Tennessee Tech, however, was handed a two-year probation penalty during which time it will not be allowed to participate in NCAA-sponsored televised games. Barred From Title Play For the first year, Tennessee i Tech will be barred , from all i NCAA championship play or coI operating events. The penalties were the 59th and 60th imposed for cases in which guilt had been established and I disciplinary action imposed. I Arizona State and Montana I State were taken off the NCAA “black list” after two years probation for aleged football recruiting violations. Still under sanction are Kansas, Indiana, Arizona, Loyola (La.) and North Carolina. Other amendments which the council endorsed and will put before the convention would tighten rules on recruiting and transfers. Byers said that under its preregistration proposal, a player who pre-registers on or after June 15 at one school and decides to transfer, would be ineligible for two years. However, Byers added that if the player I wished to transfer to the college division (small colleges) he would be able to play immediately, if no inducement or recruitment is involved. Also under that proposal, a school would be only alowed to pre-register 35 athletes. Another amendment which stemmed from the gambling report urged a two-year ineligibility rule imposed on any transfer student unless he was a graduate of : a junior college. Two Players Are Released By Majors CHICAGO (UPD—The Chicago 1 Majors of the American Basketi ball League have released centers Jim Coil and Ken Peterson. Chicago Coach Andy Phillips said Coil would return to the Washington Generals and Peterson would join a semi-pro team so both could gain experience. Pittsburgh Steelers Claim Two Vikings PITTSBURGH (UPD — The Pittsburgh Steelers today claimed halfback Dick Haley and end Bob Schnelker on waivers from the Minnesota Vikings. Pittsburgh also announced it has waivers on defensive halfback Dean Derby.

Dr. John Van Nuys said Blackburn, co-captain of the Little Giants, has not regained consciousness. “There has been some slight from the patient,” said Vag Nuys, “but he has not been able to recognize anybody.” Van Nuys said Blackburn received a “good shaking up of the brain,” but did not suffer a skull fracture. He added that Blackburn apparently has a good constitution and his general physical condition was good. “The longer he lasts, the better are his chances,” Van Nuys said. However, he said, it was too early to say if the injuries will leave a permanent mark. CTS Buys Plant In Paducah, Ky.

Badgers Play Ohio Stale In Feature Tilt By United Press Internatienal Wisconsin football coach Milt Bruhn is hoping that a little of the homecoming spirit may have rubbed off on his injury - riddled team. The Badger coach said Tuesday “a lot of factors, including homecoming” helped lowa crush Wisconsin 47-14 last week. Saturday the Badgers play their homecoming game against mighty Ohio State. “I sure hope It will help us," Bruhn said. Ohio State was not taking the Badger game for granted. Coach Woody Hayes drove his athletes through a typical tough scrimmage, with fullback Bob Ferguson continuing to show power on ofi sense. Sophomore Joe Sparma ran the team on offense while quarterback Bill Mrukowski worked in the defensive backfield. Minnesota snapped through a spirited workout, and coach Murray Warmath commented on the lack of mistakes committed by tfye Gophers. The three top units worked on passing, with quarterbacks Sandy Stephens, Duane Blaska and Bob Sadek throwing. The Gophers play Michigan Saturday. Expects T® Pass More Coach Bump Elliott stressed both running and passing as he drilled his Michigan team for the Minnesota game. Elliott said the Wolverines’ victory over Purdue last week was a great morale stimulant for his team. Michigan was expected to use more passing in its attempt to regain the “little brown jug” because of the success of the aerial game against Purdue. Acting coach Bob DeMoss of Purdue had the Boilermakers concentrating on defense in an effort to stop high-scoring lowa Saturday. DeMoss said his squad wil have to show a vast improvement on defense if it is to slow the lowa attack which has averaged 34 points a game. Coach Jerry Burns sent the lowa Hawkeyes through a brief scrimmage before they were chased indoors by rain Tuesday. Ailing quarterback Wilburn Holis, who is attempting to convert to halfback bee ause of his fractured wrist, worked out in sweat clothes. AU-America halfback Larry Ferguson, idled with a wrenched khee since the opening game against California, was absent. Coach Duffy Daugherty of Michigan State told his Spartans that "underdog Indiana will be "playing their hearts out” against them Saturday. He warned Michigan State against over - confidence. Sophomore halfback Earl Lattimer of Dallas, Tex., who has been used mostly as a kicker, showed he has running talent in Tuesday’s scrimmage. Scrimmage on Offense Coach Phil Dickens of Indiana had his Hoosiers scrimmaging on offense Tuesday in preparation for the meeting with Michigan State. “We’ll have to be sharper I than at any time this season when ■ we havet he ball,” Dickens said, j The Hoosiers worked on their 1 passing game and then drilled on defense against Michigan State plays. Guard Dick Cast was absent for an x-ray of his injured hand and center Bob Camp was out with a cold, but the rest of the University of Illinois squad worked on offense for Saturday’s meeting with Southern California at Los Angeles. Coach Ara Parsegian of Northwestern said he was concerned about injuries to key players. Bil Swingle, the Wildcats’ best run-ning-baek. has a knee injury and may not play against Notre Dame Saturday. Bob Eickhoff had a bad shoulder and Bob Snider an ailing ankle, but both were expected to play. Coach Joe Kuharich of Notre Dame said the Irish will be at full strength for the meeting with Northwestern, which he called “one of the best teams in the Big Ten and that means one of the best in the country.” High School Football Bluffton 18, Portland 7. , Peru 9, Tipton 0.
