Commodores Win The Decatur Commodores overcame an early deficit to oust the Adams Central Greyhounds in the opener Wednesday, with greater accuracy from the foul stripe playing an important part in the victory. After the Commodores took an early 2-0 lead on free throws by Steve Blythe and Ed Kohne, Don Sharp gave the Greyhounds the lead on a three-point play, and Adams Central then moved to a 7-2 lead after three minutes of play. But the Commodores bounced back with 12 consecutive points and had a 14-7 bulge with 1:53 to go in the quarter. The Greyhounds cut this margin to only three points, 18-15, at the end of the period. Die Commodores held six-point advantages twice in the second quarter .but the Greyhounds came within three, 32-29. at the smoker/ An easy layup on a tipoff play at the start of the third period, and a pair of foul tosses by Gary Workinger put the Greyhounds on top, 33-32, in the first half-minute: The lead changed hands twice and then the teams were tied at 36-36 with 6;30 to go. John Kohne’s two-pointer then put the Commodores out in front and the Greyhounds could not regain the lead. The Commodores zoomed their bulge to nine points, 53-44, at the third period’s end and the closest the Greyhounds came in the final bracket was four points. Steve Blythe led the Commodores with 20 points, although sitting out much of the first half after picking up three fouls in the first five minutes of play. Ed Kohne whipped in 17 points, ail but two of them in the first half, and John Kohne counted 14, all two two in the second half. The Greyhounds had four men in double figures. Bob Heyerly leading with 14. Dick Habegger counted 13, and Gary Workinger and Don Sharp 10 each.

Tourney Notes

By Bob Shraluka Wednesday night’s opening round of the sectional meet assured one thing — Decatur will be in the championship game Saturday night. O — The Commodores and Yellow Jackets, after impressive wins last night, will renew their city-series Saturday in the 12:30 p.m. game. This is the only way the two teams ever meet each other, in the sectional tourney, and this will be only the fourth clash of the two in’ history. - Q Tonight’s games will decide the two teams to tangle in the second game Saturday and to meet Decatur in the championship tilt. O All four teams participating in the opening night of action hit very well from the field. The Decatur Yellow Jackets topped the teams with a mark of .427, compiled on hitting 35 shots in 82 attempts. The Commodores of Decatur shot at .411, bucketing 23 of 56 shots. Adams Cental took 54 shots for their 22 fielders, a .407 figure, and Geneva, playing much better ball than they displayed in the county tourney, hit at .370, 20 fielders in 54 shots. O The Commodores easily topped the four teams in free-throw shooting hitting a torrid .769 from thei 15- charity stripe. They were given 26 chances at the line, and hit on 20 of them. Geneva bucketed of .586, and the Yellow Jackets 17 of 29 free throws for a mark canned 14 of 25 for a .560 figure. The Greyhounds were good on 13 of 24 attempts, a .542 slate. O In the individual shooting department, Jim Martin, junior guard for the Yellow Jackets, compiled the high-watet mark of boys who took ten or more shots. Martin canned seven buckets in 13 attempts, a .538 figure. O Other outstanding shooters included: Walters. Yellow Jackets, 9 of 20; Townsend, Yellow Jackets, 4 of 7; Blythe, Commodores. 8 of 17; John Kohne, Commodores. 5 of 11; Jerry Villagomes, Commodores 4 of 6; Workinger, Adams Central, 4 of 7; Habegger, Adams Central. 5 of 8; Sharp, Adams Central 4 of 8, Heyerly, Adams Central, 6 of 15; Rog Lautzenhiser, Geneva, 4 of 6; Paul Moser, Geneva, 3 of 6. O The Commodores’ sensational sophomore Ed Kohne easily topped the individual free-throw shooters, hitting all nine chances awarded him. —— OIn the rebound department, the Yellow Jackets were high for the night, pulling down 41, 22 of them defensive, against the small Cardinals. Adams Central pulled down 36 rebounds, 22 of them defensive, while the Commodores were credited with 33 rebounds, 21 off the defensive board. Geneva hauled in 20 rebounds, 14 defensively. ' O Individual rebound honors for the first night’s firing went to Denny Bollenbacher of the Yellow Jackets, playing in his fourth sectional. “Bolly” pulled down 14 stray shots, seven offensive and seven defensive. O Dick Habegger of Adams Central. the tallest player in the local sectional, grabbed 13 rebounds seven off the defensive board, and Ed Kohne. who did a tremendous job for the Commodores, grabbed 13 caroms, nine from the defensive board. Gary Workinger of Adams Central also reached twin figures, pulling down 11 rebounds, six offensively. O Steve Gause of the Yellow Jackets, a “Johnny-come-lately” at the center spot for the Jackets, pulled down nine rebounds, seven of them defensively. Bob McCabe of Geneva topped the Cards in rebounding with six, four off the defensive end. O The gymnasium was packed early in the evening and it didn't take either the Greyhounds or Commodores cheering section long to get worked up. O i The Holthouse Drug company’s “Pick the Winner” contest shows the Bears of Berne and the Yellow Jackets to be heavilv favored to take tourney honors. The Yellow Jackets were favored by 47.4 per cent of the entrants and the Bears by 40.8. The Commodores and Adams Central were each favored by 3.3 per cent of the persons who entered to take all the honors, and 3 per cent of the entries chose Monmouth to “fly high.” o The other 2 2 per cent picked one of the other three teams, with each of the eight teams getting at least one vote to win the championship. Some of the total of 1.200 entries had to be discarded as they were not signed, which happens every

year, and again some fans selected their favorites with their hearts, instead of their judgment. The pattern of the games seems to be very similar, except for the winner of the finale Saturday night. The entries are going to be difficult to judge unless there is an upset or two. O The Daily Democrat - Citizens Telephone Co. new service handled a total of 3,801 calls during the first night of action. The scores were relayed from the gymnasium at the end of each quarter, and immediately taped by publisher Dick D. Heller, Jr. O Here are the 1962 sectional tourney “firsts:” Ist tip, to Don Sharp of Adams Central; Ist shot attempted, Ed Kohne, Commodores; Ist shot made, Sharp; Ist free throw attempted, Steve Blythe, Commodores; Ist free throw made, Blythe; Ist violation, Adams Central, a bab pass; Ist rebound, Ed Hirschy of Adams Central, a defensive rebound; Ist personal foul, Sharp; Ist to foul out, Sharp at 3:36 of the fourth quarter. O SIDELIGHTS — Steve Blythe of the Commodores was the first player to get into foul trouble, picking up his third with 3:11 left in the initial quarter .. . but he still i came back to score 20 points . . . the Commodores played a sticky man-to-man defense, the best defense of the night .... both teams were “red hot’ ’at the start of . the second half in the first game, and the Commodores hit nine of 17 shots in the third period .... the first fielder of the tourney came at the 6:17 mark when Sharp counted a three-point play, putting his team into a 3-2 lead .... Tom Kohne did a real fine pinch-hit job for the Commodores, and brother Ed kept the green and gold in the lead in the first half with some outstanding rebounding and scoring .... the Yellow Jackets missed their first six shots and got their first lead at 3:07 of the first quarter when Max Eichenauer scored his only fielder on a drive-in . . . as stated before, Geneva looked much better than they did in the county tourney and gave it a lot of hustle ~. . . the Commodores were really sensational at the free throw line, especially in the final, pressure-packed minute and two seconds of the game when they hit six of six. ° : Charley Conerly Ends Pro Career NEW YORK (UPI) — Charley Conerly, one of the National FootI ball League’s top passers and quarterbacks for the last 14 years, has decided he’s checked his last pass. Conerly, 42, announced Wednesday that he is retiring after a career during which he threw 173 touchdown passes and led the New York Giants to four Eastern Division championships. “Football got tougher every year,” said the greying ex-Uni-versity of Mississippi All-Ameri-can. “And I mean mentally as well as physically. You lose something every year. The other players on the club took pretty good care of me the last few years so I wasn't bumped around much but it was tough to get set mentally for so many games.” Conerly has a 225-acrc cotton farm near Clarksdale, Miss., and is an advertising model for newspaper, magazine and television layouts. : " “I’d like to stay in football or in sports but I’m not interested in coaching as a career or in reporting games on radio or TV.” he said. Conerly joined the Giants in 1948 and in his rookie season threw,22 touchdown passes. In 14 seasons, he completed 1,418 of 2.833 attempts for 173 touchdowns and 19,488 yards.
