Pleasant Mills Spartans Launch Season On Friday; Field Inexperienced Team

A young band of Pleasant Mills Spartans will be looking to improve upon last season's record of eight wins and 11 losses when they play host to the Hartford Gorillas in the season opener for both teams Friday evening. A young ball club, coach Tom King feels his squad's chances of at least attaining their record of last season are good, even though he will field an inexperienced ball club. King has lost such players as Ron Daniels, Mel Ohler, Rich Luginbill, and Marv Luginbill, through graduation this spring. Marv LuginbiU was the county's leading scorer last season with an average of nearly 20 points a ball game. Clouse Back Gary Clouse, a 6-2, 165 pound junior, will be expected to pick up a lot of the scoring slack left by the absence of Luginbill and Ohler. Clouse was a regular performer for King last season as a sophomore and has a very fine potential. His height and rugged build should make him one of the county’s leading rebounders. A trio of guards, all of whom started a few games last season and saw enough action to gain some experience, are battling for a berth on this year’s regular starting unit, the only senior of the three, and David Currie, 5-8, 135 pounds, ia battling with 5-7, 141 - pound Roger Burkhart and 5-9, 165-pound Bob McMillen. Currie and McMillen could possibly be the starting guards, with McMillen moved up to a forward berth. Both Burkhart and McMillen are juniors. Getting a lot of mileage out of Clouse in his sophomore year. King is hoping to perform a similar stunt with another sophomore this season, Rex Funk. Help From Soph Funk, a ruggedly built 6-1 a n d 166 pounds, could very well be one of the top performers on the club this winter. . He will unds>utedly be a starting forward, and it is hoped that he too can take flp some’ of the slack left by LuginbiU. Terry Black, a 5-10, 185-pound junior, has a limited amount of experience, enough to earn him a letter last season, and will be one one of King’s main substitutes, or may work' himself into a starting

berth at forward. David Myers, a 5-8, 135-pound senior letterman, will also be counted on for top reserve duty, and as Black, may work up to a starting spot. Three sophomores and a senior will also comprise a bench for King which will be short on experience. Richard Sprunger, 5-9, 185pound senior, and sophomores David Suman, 5-4, 108 pounds; Melvin Burkhart 5-7, 134 pounds; and David Speakman, 5-8, 150 pounds are the four performers, and none has seen any varsity action. Young Team Although his team is a young one, King feels the Spartans can win as many games as last season, which wouldn’t be a bad season considering the number of top players lost through graduation. He explained that the underclassmen have looked very good thus far, especially Funk and Speakman. Although a lot smaller than last year, the Spartans will have a much faster ball club, with a lot of hustle. Inexperience will cost Pleasant Mills some early games, but the youngsters could develop into a fine combination toward the end of the schedule.

Between Nov. 1 and Nov. 21, bow and arrow hunters may kill “one of any deer.” But from Nov. 22 through Dec. 1, they and gun hunters must confine their kill to one buck with at least one forked antler.

■ 1 rw Another November has rolled around, and with it, the openIng of Indiana’s favorite sport, basketball. Half of Adams county’s high high schools will launch their 196263 seasons Friday night, when two games, involving four county teams, are on the menu. The Monmouth Eagles, who are being touted by many, many observers as the team to beat this year, will open on their home court tomorrow, acting as hosts to the Adams Central Greyhounds. The Pleasant Mills Spartans will entertain the Hartford Gorillas in the second season opener at the Pleasant Mitlsgym. The other four county teams will start their net activities later. The Decatur Commodores wait until Nov. 13, when they open at home against Larwill. On the same night, the sectional champion Berne Beat’s play at Pleasant Mills. The Geneva Cardinals open at home Nov. 16 against the Montpelier Paecrs. The« Decatur YellowJackets will be the last to swing into action, waiting until Thanksgiving Eve, Nov. 21, to open at home with the Adams Central Greyhounds. Two of the teams will be under the guidance of new coaches this season. The Commodores will be led by George Waning, formerly assistant coach at Fort Wayne Central Catholic, and the Greyhounds will be directed by Carl Honaker.

Net Season Os i Indiana Preps Opens Tonight By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The perennial epidemic in Indiana sports—high school basketball — makes its debut today, but most of the big wheels wait at least another couple of weeks before the bug bites them. Several hundred smaller quintets will whoop it up between tonight and Saturday, ushering in the long season climaxed by the crowning of the state champ next March. If all goes well, 639 teams will enter the four-weefc tourney next February, 21 less than last time, making it the smallest field in 40 years. The trend toward consolidation of tiny schools and discontinuance of others results in the annual decrease. But while the field loses a considerable number of schools each year, the caliber of basketball improves. Last year, North Caston and Tunnelton joined Madison in registering perfect seasons and at least eight other quintets lost but once pripr to the tourney, among them Wabash Valley champion Ellettsville. Cubs Are 59-0 Madison's Cubs, who open their season next week, sport a record 59-game regular - season winning streak that spans three seasons. On the other hand, discontinu- j ance saved the day for such teams as Roll, one of 16 schools closed since last season. The Rollers had lost 41 games over three years. But West, winless in the last two seasons, and Rockcreek (near Bluffton), Clarksburg and Akron, which also couldn’t convince anybody last time, were hoping for better luck. Akron is in the envious position of having its regulars bac’k for another go-round. Morgan Twp., first-time sectional winner at Salem last spring, has four members of its starting team back when it opens against Hardinsburg Friday. Fowler, winner of the Kentland sectional, opens with nine lettermen against Oxford Saturday.

Pinnell, 19-1 last time and sectional champ at Zionsville, makes it tip-off at Darlington Friday. Milan Opens Milan, stale champs in 1954, opens at Vevay Friday. Other better games that night include Pendleton at Lapel, Oaktown at Carlisle, Waldron at Brown County, a 20-game winner last year. Most conspicuous by its absence is Evansville Lincoln, one of the schools closed. But the Pocket City picked up a new school, Harrison. There apparently are not as many new gymnasiums as in the last several years. Warsaw’s ndw plant will be dedicated Nov. 16, with IHSAA Commissioner Phil Eskew in attendance. Unionville also has a new gum and others under construction include those at Frankfort and Triton. New names cropping up as the result of consolidations include Northfield, Southwood, Perry Central* and South Central. Evansville Bosse, which captured the state title under firstyear coach Jim Myers last time, opens Nov. 23 against Southern Conference rival Huntingburg.

Decatur Freshmen J 1 Open Season Friday . »i The Decatur high school freshman basketball team will open U its season Friday evening at c Lafayette Central of Allen county for a 6:30 p. m. game. tl P Gause And Reinking { Win In 'Kick-Offs* £ Two “kick-offs" were held h Wednesday afternoon to break ties for second and third places in two divisions of the punt, pass and kick contest sponsored by the 1 Schwartz Ford Co. Tuesday even- 1 ing. Kenneth Gause defeated ’ Kedrick Birch in the 11-year-old class for second place, and David Reinking defeated Richard Steury in the 8-year-old group. Steury is a student at Southeast elementary instead of Northwest, as reported Wednesday. University Os Dayton Placed On Probation DAYTON, Ohio (UPI) — The University of Dayton says it will accept the two-year probation handed it Wednesday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association NCAA without seeking a ' review. The University was accused of violating rules on aid to athletes and of allowing the 1960-61 freshman basketball team to play an excessive number of games. Dayton, which last year won the National Invitation Tourna- ! ment (NIT) championship and ' has three starters from that team returning this season, will be prohibited from competing in the NCAA basjjfetball champships during period. The ban also extends to other invitational basketball events cooperating with the NCAA unless prior contracts already have been signed. Accepts Penalty “We accept the penalty imposed by the NCAA committee on infractions,” the Very Rev. Raymond A. Roesch, university president, said in. a statement. ; “Since there had never been any question in the past about ■ the games played by our fresh- , man teams, we were not aware t that we were violating the code," he said. Fr. Roesch said that even before being advised by the com- ’ mittee, the university Student Welfare Council recommended more than a year ago that the • freshman schedule be shortened

and no post-season play be scheduled. The 1962-63 schedule was shortened considerable, he added. The committee also charged that the university on three occasions during the college year of 1960-61 provided free transportation to a freshman basketball player so he could return home for personal reasons and paid transportation costs from his home to the campus in order for him to enroll. Felt Move Justified Fr. Foesch said the athletic department was motivated in this matter "by what it judged to be a hardship case and felt that they were ustified.” “The incident referred to Is that of Roger Brown returning to New York for appearance in a traffic court,” he said. Brown, a member of the Flyers’ freshman team which played in the AAU tournament at Denver in 1961 and lost in the second game, was involved in a point-shave scandal which broke in May involving New York men. Brown was dropped from school after the investigation began into point-shaving. The probation means the Flyers will not get the opportunity to defend their NIT title, but is not expected to keep them from playing in the Holiday Festival at New York City for which they had contracted already.
