Monmouth Eagles Open Friday, Four Regulars Feature Strong Squad

Monmouth high school fans are anxiously awaiting their team’s season opener Friday when the Eagles entertain Adams Central—as this could very definitely be the year the Eagles again dominate Adams county basketball. The Eagles last won a sectional in 1956, but coach Don Elder has the 'potential this season to go all the way. The B-Boys, plenty of scoring punch, and rugged rebounding, are a combination that Elder has plenty of, and his team can be expected top its fine record of last season when Monmouth won 15 and lost 6. The B’s — Brown and Braun — are back once again .this time for their final trip in the high school "basketball wars, but it could really be a big one! Talented Duo One of the finest players seen in Adams county basketball circles in the past 10 or 20 years, 6-1, 175pound Don Brown will be the “high-flyer” of the Eagles again

this season . Beginning his fourth season as a regular, Brown has amassed many feats in his first three years with the club. The team's leading scorer in Ms sophomore year season with 351 points for a 17.6 average, Brown also led the county in scoring that season. Last season he finished runner-up, but hiked his scoring total to 361 points in one less game for a 19.0 per game clip. In addition, the rugged senior feeds well, is the team’s leading rebounder and is definitely a "team’’ ball player. If this wasn’t enough, Brown is back up by another Braun, Dennis Braun, who also stands 6-1 and weighs 175 pounds. The other half of the B-boys, Braun tallied a total of 314 points last season for a fine 15.7 per game average, and ranked with Brown at the top in total rebounds during the season. Possessing plenty of drive and spirit, Elder is expecting even bigger and better things from the powerful senior this season. Further Strength Even further enhancing Elder’s pre-season outlook are a pair of lanky regulars also returning. Clarence Scheumann, a 6-2, 157pound senior, and Dean Schieferstein, a 6-2, 162-pound junior, will provide even more scoring punch and rebounding power for Elder’s Eagles. Only starter lost from last season was guard Dave Singleton, and three boys are now in a battle for his vacant post. Fighting for

the spot are Vernon Witte, a Ml, 175 - pound senior letterman: Elgene Bienz, Ml, 151-pounder who was the leading scorer on last season’s county champion reserve team; and Bob Brandt, a MO, 148 pound junior. Bench Strong While pot too experienced, Elder’s bench will consist of the two guards who lose out in the threeway struggle, in addition to 6-2 Jerry Liby, who will spell Schieferstein at center; 6:3 Steve Hoile, who is also expected to see some varsity action, and 5-11 David Fleming. All three are only juniors. This could definitely be Monmouth’s year with four starters and five lettermen returning, and boys moving up from the reserve team which defeated Berne for the county reserve championship last year. Schieferstein will open at center Friday, with Braun and Scheumann at forwards and Brown teaming with enther Witte, Bienz or Brandt at guard. The 1961-62 edition of the Eagles displayed tremendous scoring and rebounding pnuch, but gave away to many points with poor defense. This is one of the main points which Elder has been stressing in pre-season practice sessions. If he can get these Eagles to play any kind of good defense — look out! The veteran coach rates Berne, Bishop Lures and Huntington Catholic as some of his toughest opponents on a schedule which has been toughened somewhat since a holiday tourney in addition to the last year. The Eagles will play in annual county tourney. The Eagle roster is as follows; NAME HGT WGT. YR.

Alabama, 35-6 victor over Tulsa, was the first-place choice of 12 coaches; two voted for Southern California and one each for fourth-ranked Mississippi (5-0) and sev en t h-ranked Michigan State (4-1). The other spots in the top 10 group were filled by Louisiana State, in sixth place, and Washington, in eighth.

Tony Reiff Captain Os Cross Country Senior Tony Reiff was selected captain of the 1962 Decatur high school cross country squad, as coach Bill McColly announced 17 varsity letter winners at a recent meeting of the team. This was the first cross country squad at the school in the past few years, and the team did very well, placing 6th in the Northeastern Indiana conference meet, and 12th in the sectional meet. McColly had a young team, as evidenced by 14 underclassmen | who were awarded varlsty cross country letters, including si x sophomores and one freshman. Reiff was the team’s top individual all season, placing second in the countymeet , and 17th in the conference meet. Varsity letter winners were as follows: seniors — Tony Reiff, Bob Ladd, Bob McClure; juniors—Dan Eyanson, Roger Death, Craig McEwan, Mark Corral, Gary Schultz, Kenny Uhrick, Alan Kalver; sophomores — Pat Werst, Gary Meyers, Jerry Conrad, Barry Burnett, Bob DeVoss, Kenny Birch; freshman — awarded freshmen letters. Denny Sheets. Dick Cowan, Sim Hain and Bob Gonzalez were Punt, Pass And Kick Contest Here Tonight The punt, pass & kick contest, scheduled for Worthman field at ■ 7 o’clock this evening, is still “on,” it was announced today by Harry Schwartz, president of the local Schwartz Ford Co., which is sponsoring the contest in Decatur. Schwartz explained that in event of further rainfall and if the field would become extremely wet or muddy, the contest would be postponed until a later date, which would be announced. The contest was still to be held, however, according to a report at 1:30 p.m. today. Bob Turley Sold To Los Angeles Angels ' NEW YORK (UPI) — Bob Turley’s conditional sale to the Los Angeles Angels was interpreted today as the first move by General Manager Roy Harney in his announced plans to rebuild the New York Yankees’ pitching staff. After the Yankees knocked off the San Francisco Giants in the recent World Series, Harney admitted that the champs got by all season with only seven pitchers. The other four members of the Yankee staff — Turley, Luis Arroyo, Tex Clevenger and Rollie Sheldon—were only of nominal value, according to Harney. Now Turley is gone and Clevenger and Sheldon may be next. Arroyo had some arm trouble this year, posting a disappointing 1-3 record, but the veteran relief pitcher is being counted on for a comeback next season. “We’re still trying to make a deal for a starting pitcher,” Harney said, “and we aim to get him.” Turley’s sale to the Angels rests on his ability to shake off the arm trouble that has hampered him for the last two seasons. “If Bob is retained by the AnI gels on opening day of 1963, they will send us a mutually satisfactory player in return,” Harney said in announcing the transaction. Turley, who only four years ago was voted the top pitcher in baseball, currently is attempting to work the soreness out of his arm with the San Juan team in the Puerto Rican winter league. He hasn’t been too successful. Only last Sunday Turley was shelled from the mound when he gave up five runs in three innings while Reuben Gomez hurled Santurce to a 6-1 victory over San Juan. Turley was obtained by the Yankees from the Baltimore Orioles following the 1954 season in a mammoth 14-player trade—one of baseball’s biggest deals. The 32-year-old right-hander enjoyed his greatest season in 1958 when he posted a 21-7 record to lead the Yankees to the pennant and then won two World Series games against the Milwaukee Braves. Following that great season, Turley was voted the Cy Young Aw<ard as the majors’ outstanding pitcher. It’s been all downhill for burly Bob ever since. He won only eight games in 1959, nine in 1960 and only three in each of the last two seasons.

Bill Rigney Is . American Loop's Manager Os Year NEW YORK (UPI) — Bill Rigney of the Los Angeles Angels—a teacher as well as a manager—was named the American League’s Manager of the year today by the United Press International. The gray-haired, high-strung former Giant infielder and manager, was selected by 21 of the 124 baseball writers who formed the UPl’s 1962 board of baseball experts. Sam Mele of the Minnesota Twins received the other three votes. The Angels, playing only their second season, surprised the sports world by remaining in the AL pennant race until mid-Sep-tember and finally finished third, 10 games behind the pennant-win-ning New Yortt Yankees. Their rise from an infant franchise in 1961 to a flag threat in 1962 constitutes the most amazing development of its kind in major league history. Some experts say it wasn’t until Rigney took over the Angels that he really learned to be a manager. With the Angels, he only had moderate talent available, compared to the players at his disposal when he managed the Giants. Realizing that he was faced with a new and entirely different problem, Rigney coaxed and 'wangled the most out of each player on the squad. The players showed a tremendous respect for Rigney. He had their confidence both on and off the field. They trusted him—and they accepted his all-for-one, one-for-all approach to the team. Earlier, Fred Haney of the Angels—the man who hired Rigney and then worked to provide him with the best players he could—was named the major league Executive Manager of the year by the UPI.
