Berne, Monmouth Win In County Tourney Openers At Adams Central's Gym

By Pete Reynold* The Berne Bears and Monmouth Eagles will battle in the first semi-final of the Adams county tourney Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock, as result of victories scored in the opening round of play Wednesday night at the Adams Central gym. The defending champion Bears had even less trouble than wpec ted in the opener as they rolled over the Geneva Cardinals, 68-43, and the Eagles ousted the Decatur Commodores, 5834, in the nightcap. Tourney play will continue tonight. In the 7p. m. opener, the second team championship will be determined, with the Berne and Monmouth reserves tangling. Berne is also the defending champion in this meet. The first round of play in the varsity tourney will be completed tonight, with the Hartford Gorillas meeting the Adams Central Greyhounds at 8:15. There will be no sessions Friday. Berne and Monmouth clash in the first semn-final at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The Pleasant Mills Spartans, who drew the first round bye, will meet the winner of the Hartford-Adams Central clash at 2:15 Saturday. The championship game will get underway at 8:15 p. m. Saturday. Bears Roll Along The Berne Bears, who have won the county title two years in a row, toyed with the Cardinals in the opener. Berne rolled up 10 points before the Cardinals finally broke the ice after four minutes of play on a free throw by Roger Lautzenheiser. Berne was in front at the first quarter, 24-8, at the half, 38-18, and at the third period, 47-22. Coach Bruce Smith substituted freely throughout the game, with all but one of the 13 players used breaking into the scoring column. Gary Habegger led the Bears with 14 points and Dick Smith tallied 12. Mike McGough tallied 12 markers for the Cardinals, eight of them on free throws. An oddity of this game was the fact that each team was assessed 21 personal fouls, each team converted 18 free throws, and each team missed on 12 foul-line opportunities. Eagles Advance Monmouth’s Eagles never trailed in their battle with the Decatur Commodores, although the score was tied on four different occasions in the first quarter, 2-2, 5-5, 7-7 and for the last time at 9-9, with 1:45 to go. But two buckets and a free throw by Dean Schieferstein and a twopointer by Clarence Scheumann gave the Eagles a 15-9 lead at the end of the period. Monmouth boosted its margin to 25-14 midway through the second quarter, but the Commodores battled back, chiefly on

Tourney Notes

by Bob Shrahika Ten Berne-French majorettes, attired in blue and white, one of them a very young blonde, performed the flag ceremonies last night, and got the 1962 Adams county tourney underway in proper fashion. 0 Tonight’s first game will be a second team version of the 1 o’clock Saturday afternoon semifinal battle, pitting Berne and Monmouth for the reserve championship. Tom Agler’s Gorillas of Hartford will clash with Amzie Miller’s Adams Central Greyhounds in the evening’s second encounter for the right to tangle >, with Pleasant Mills in Saturday's second clash. O —- The two winners last night took opening night honors in the shooting department, both the — Berne Bears and Monmouth; Eagles shooting at better than a .400 percentage from the field. O Those big, bad Bears needed only 55 shots for their 25 field goals, a sparkling .455 figure, while the Eagles fired at .424, 25 fielders in 59 shots. . —, O - The Geneva Cardinals, who should have a better team next year because they certainly can’t get much worse, hit exactly .200 from the field, only eight fielders in 40 tries. The Cards didn’t get - many=*geod shots, but what good shots they did get, they usually couldn’t hit anyway. O Individual shooting honors in

three field goals by Steve Blythe, to reduce the Eagles’ lead to five points, 29-24, at the half. The B-boys went to work in earnest for the Eagles in the third period, Don Brown potting 11 points and Dennis Braun six to give Monmouth a 48-37 bulge at the buzzer ending the quarter. Still trailing by 11 points, 51-47, with 2:50 of the game remaining, the Commodores refused to quit, and cheered their fans with another rally which cut the score to 38-53 with 1:10 to play on Ed Kohne's fourth field goal. John Kohne cut the margin further with a free throw but only 38 seconds remained, and Ken Kolter scored the game’s final point on a foul toss as the clock ran out. Don Brown topped all the scorers with 26 points, Dennis Braun Blythe topped the Commodores added 12 and Schieferstein 10. with 14 points and John Kohne added 11. There were 17 fouls called on the Commodores, 16 on the Eagles. The Decatur lads converted 16 of 23 free throws, the Eagles only nine of 17. Berne FG FT TP Smith 5 2-2 12 E.

the tourney’s first evening go to two of the smoothest ball players in the county, and the area. Don Brown, who nearly singlehandedly dumped the Commodores, hit 12 buckets in only 25 attempts, for an amazing .480 figure. Gary Habegger, Berne’s outstanding guard, had an even better percentage, although not taking as many shots as Brown. Habegger fired 11 times during his brief tenure in the Geneva walloping, and hit six buckets. _ ..— o Other better than average shooters for the first night were: Dennis Braun, 5 of 9; Clarence ! Scheumann, 4 of 5; Dick Smith, 5 of 8; John Kohne, 4 of 6; Mike McGough, 2 of 5 and Paul Moser, 2 of 5. O The Eagles and Bears were also the evening’s better rebounding teams, each showing definite superiority over their opponents. The Eagles hauled down 35 caroms, 12 offensive and 23 defensive, while the Bears had 33 “grabs," 13 offensive and 20 defensive. O The rebounding department has hurt the Commodores all year, and last night was no exception. The green and gold couldn’t match the Eagles off the board, pulling down only 23 rebounds. Offensive rebounds gave them only six extra shots, as they pulled down six from their own board. O Geneva didn’t have much of a chance off the boards against the

Dick Hoover Takes Lead In Match Play MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Dick Hoover, who won the All-Star Bowling Tournament in 1950 the day following his 21st birthday, carries the lead into the second day of match play competition in the 3100,000 event today. Hoover, of St. Louis, fired a near record 991 series in the fourth round Wednesday night to take the lead from Dick Weber of St. Louis, who led during the first three rounds. Hoover had games of 277, 266, 205, 243 in his 991 set. The record for a four-game block in All-Star finals is 995, bowled by Bill TuckI er of St. Louis in 1961. Hoover I won 12 of 16 games, knocked down 3509 pins and had 82-09 • Petersen points. Weber, who won eight straight games during the first two rounds, won 11 of 16 games, knocked down 3522 pins and had 81-22 Petersen points. Competition in the finals is on the Petersen point system which allows a bowler one point for winning a game and one point for each 50 pins knocked down. Shirley Garms of Chicago, bowling a 208 average, was leading the women’s division. Mrs. Garms won 7 of 8 games, scored 1663 pins and had 40-13 points. The women bowled two game blocks in the finals. The most startling development of the day was the poor performance by Marion Ladewig of Grand Rapids, Mich., who won only one of eight games and was in 16th and last place. Mrs. Ladewig,

tall and rugged Bears, grabbing only 18 caroms, ten of them defensive. O —- Clarence Scheumann of the , Eagles was the evening’s top in- , dividual rebounder, grabbing 12 ! rebounds, 10 of them from the de- . fensive board. Only other player ; to reach twin figures in the department was Erv Lnniger, tall and talented Berne forward, who ; pulled in 10 caroms, five off each . board. O Other leading rebounders included: Heimann, Villagomes and John Kohne, Commodores, four each: Braun and Brown, Eagles, 9 and 5 Schierling, Bear;, 6; McCabe and Lautzenhiser, Geneva, 5 and 4 respectively. O Geneva was high in one department, the errors column. The Cards committed 19 mistakes, most of them bad passes. Berne, whose first five played about half the game, committed 14 miscues, and the Eagles and Commodores 9 each. - — O The above statistics may not be right to the “T," but are as close as one can get them. They were compiled by the writer, with an able assist from John Frey, former Pleasant Mills basketbail player. 0 __ i - Last night’s action produced a fine crowd, even finer when one considers the colder-than-cold weather outside the gym. O Geneva attempted to hold the ball against Berne, but wasn’t very successful. The Bears smashed any ideas of a stall by jumping into a 10-0 lead. Geneva

Bradley Wins In Overtime Over Bearcats Oops, Cincinnati stubbed its toe again, and what hurts m ost is this makes the second time it has happened to the embarrassed Bearcats in their own conference. — The Bearcats are ranked second nationally and while that may impress some other teams, it apparently doesn’t faze those within the Missouri Valley Conference, where 13th-ranked Brad--1 ley beat Cincinnati, 7068, in overtime Wednesday night at Peoria, 111. It was the second loss in 13 games for the Bearcats this season, both setbacks having been administered by league “neighbors.” Wichita handed the defefending NCAA champions their only previous defeat, 52-51, on Dec. 18. Bradley did it the nard way after frittering away a five-point lead in the waning moments of regulation time. The Braves began the overtime session by hitting on three straight baskets following a 62-62 regulation tie and All-America Chet Walker wrapped it up with a perfect pair of foul shots. Sophomore Joe Strawder led Bradley to its ninth victory in 11 starts with 21 points while Cincy’s Ron Bonham was individual high scorer with 24. As matters stand now, Cincinnati, which has won the Missouri Valley title the past four seasons, already has lost as many league games as it did all last season when the Bearcats won the conference crown with a 10-2 record. Bradley, which finished runnerup with a 9-3 mark last season, now leads the conference with a 2-0 record. ' ; The Bearcats were the only casualty among the nation's top 10 college basketball teams Wednesday night, the three others who played all coming through handsomely. Fifth-ranked Kansas State had little trouble d efeating Kansas. 7045, at Manhattan, Kan.: sixthranked Vilanova scored its 13th victory in 14 starts by beating Temple, 60-53, at Philadelphia, and seventh-ranked Duquesne downed Dayton, 79-59, at Pittsburgh. seven times All-Star champion, paced the women’s qualifying Play. didn't score until Roger Lautzenhiser cashed a free throw at the 4:09 mark of the first stanza.

Bradshaw k Named As Kentucky Coach LEXINGTON, Ky. (UPD-The University of Kentucky began a new football era today with a new coach, Charlie Bradsahw, pledged to restore his alma mater to the gridiron glorias it enjoyed when he starred at end for the Wildcats in two bowl games. The university athletic board named Bradshaw, 36, to replace the deposed Blanton Collier at a salary officially undisclosed but which a source close to the board guessed at about $15,000 a year. For the next three years Kentucky also will be paying Collier about $17,500 annually on his unexpired contract, which the board elected to buy up after a 5-5 season that ended in a beating by Tennessee. i Bradshaw, assistant to Paul Bryant at Alabama for three seasons, said, "My big problem here will be to get a unified Kentucky effort to get where we want to go in football. There is no doubt in my mind we will get there. If there were any doubt, I would not be here.” Bradshaw was graduated from Kentucky in 1950 after playing end cm the Wildcat teams which Bryant piloted first into the Orange Bowl and then into the 1950 Sugar Bowl game in which Kentuckybeat Oklahoma, 13-7, in one of football’s all-time major upsets. He went back to his native Montgomery, Ala., to coach high school football, but joined Bryants’ staff at Kentucky in 1954.
