Yellow Jackets Lose To Huntertown Wildcats By 78 - 72 Score Last Night

By Bob Shraluka Decatur’s Yellow Jackets spent four quarters attempting to “find the range” in the Churubusco gym Tuesday evening, while Huntertown's Wildcats were chalking up a 78-72 decision. Senior Steve Gause came up with his biggest point production of his career, tallying a big 29 points, but the rest of the Yellow Jackets were “stone” cold, and ft eventually coat them their tenth loss of the season against two wins. „ After Jim Martin converted a free throw early in the opening period, tying the score at 3-3, Huntertown racked up eight points in a row for an 11-3 lead, an d the Decatur five never led the rest of the way. Gause Hits 19 Trailing 15-9 at the first quarter, the Jackets, mainly through the red-hot shooting of Gause, scored 23 points in the second eight-minute stanza, but the ’Cats built their lead to 41-32 at halfretaliated with 26 markers and time. Gause was nearly the entire Decatur offensive in the second quarter' as he tallied 19 points with a terrific array of jump and hook shots, Greg Ladd and Maddox were the only other Jackets to score in the period, each connecting on a field goal. Huntertown, however, got 14 points from Warner in the quarter and he received plenty of help from his teammates. Cats Bulla Lead Martin scored on a charity shot to open the second half, and Huntertown then scored the next six points, building their lead to 4-33, and they coasted through the period with leads of 10, 12 and 14 points. Dick Ortiz’ jump shot from the corner at the buzzer cut the ’Cats lead to 58-48, entering the final stanza. Substitute Bill Conrad sparked the Decatur quintet in the final quarter, scoring 14 points in all, but the local lads couldn’t overcome the Huntertown lead. A pair of buckets and two free throws by Conrad cut the deficit to 61-56 early in the fourth quarter. Fitch of the ’Cats and Greg Ladd traded fielders, and the Jackets were still in the contest, trailing 63-58 fith four finutes to Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Thursday County tourney at Adams Central.

play. A pair of charity shots by Warner and Fitch's rebound effort upped the margin to 67-58. Warner’s three-point play with 1.48 to play iced the verdict for Huntertown. Gause’s 29 tallies topped all scorers, but Conrad was the only Jacket to afford any support, with his 14 points. Warner led the winners with 27 markers, and three other Wildcats were in double figures. The Jackets return to action Friday night, traveling to Auburn for an NEIC affair.

Michigan City Rated Tops In Prep Quintets By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Michigan City’s red-hot Red Devils, who swept through the first half of the season without blemish, today took over top spot in the United Press International Indiana high school basketball coAches’ ratings. The first ratings of 1963 came up with a complete reshuffle of the “Big 10”, the addition of oncebeaten Evansville Rex Mundi to the elite and the demotion of Lafayette’s Bronchos. The reshuffle was based primarily on results of holiday tourneys and last weekend’s regular-season games. Michigan City, going into weekend action boasting a 10-game winning streak, collected 11 of 18 first-place votes from the panel of experts for 171 points. Friday’s East NIHSC game at Goshen will be the leaders’ first game since they won the East Chicago holiday tourney. Bosse Now Fifth Unbeaten Muncie Central and Columbus and once-beaten Gary Roosevelt also moved up. Muncie climbed from fourth to second, Columbus from ninth to fourth, and Gary from eighth to sixth. Rex Mundi, beaten only in triple overtime at Owensboro Catholic in Kentucky, was promoted from 12th to ninth spot. Defending state champ Evansbille Bosse, leader the first three weeks but which barely managed to grab consolation honors in East Chicago's two-day holiday wingding, slipped to fifth place. . The upper bracket was rounded out by Anderson, which slipped from second to third —presumably because Muncie is undefeated. South Bend Central skidded from fifth to seventh, unbeaten Indianapolis Tech from seventh to eighth and East Chicago’s Senators from sixth to 10th. Lafayette was dropped from 10th to a tie for 15th. Muncie received five first-place votes for 156 points, Anderson and Bosse one apiece. Recognized for the first time were Berne, Columbia City, Indianapolis Ripple, Terre Haute Wiley, and South Bend Washington. 'ZZL 22 Teams Named The breakdov/n, with first places and total points: 1.

Jack Molinas Convicted In Net Bribery NEW YORK (UPl)—lmpassive Jack Molinas faced a possible 36year jail term today after being convicted as the “master fixer” in a bribery scandal that took in 49 college basketball players in 51 different cities. Unable to raise $25,000 bail after being found guilty on a fivecount indictment in the criminal part of New York’s Supreme Court Tuesday night, Molinas was taken to the city jail. Justice Joseph A. Sarafite set Feb. 11 as the date of sentencing for the 30-year-old attorney and one-time basketball star. Molinas’ attorney, Jacob Evseroff, said he planned to appeal the case. The jury of eight men and • four women found Molinas guilty i of conspiracy, three counts of : bribery and subornation of per- : jury. ( The crimes could bring a senl tence of 36 years in jail and-or a fine of $35,500. Eyes On Jury The six-foot, six-inch Molinas stared directly at the 12 mem- ’ bers of the jury as they filed into 1 the courtroom following nearly ’ eight hours of deliberation. He seemed as if he were try- ’ ing to read their faces for some 1 sign of a verdict. 1 They didn’t keep him waiting long. “Guilty,” said the jury fore- ■ man. Familiar with the courtroom , and its procedures because lie is J a lawyer himself, Molinas reJ mained icy calm. ; He didn’t even bat an eyelid. Nor did he betray the slightest emotion when, after Evseroff ■ asked that the jury be polled in- , dividually, each of the 12 said: , “Guilty.” Asks High Bond i Asst. Dist. Atty. Peter D. Andreoli asked the court to hold , Molinas in custody under $25,000 ’ bail and the request was granted. Then Molinas, the man who had once said, “When this matter is finally resolved, my inno- , cence will be fully established,” j was led away by a court guard. The rugged, good-looking Mo- ’ Unas, who broke all scoring records as a m'ember of Columbia i University’s basketball team and [ later starred for the Fort Wayne r (now Detroit) Pistons until he was barred from the National I Basketball Association for admit- . tedly betting on his own team in , 1954, was arrested on May 17, . 1962. . His arrest culminated more ; than two years of investigation by Manhattan Dist. Atty. Frank , Hogan, who called Molinas the ; “master fixer.” Cover* Three Bribe* , Molinas was .charged specifically with paying a former Bowl- . ing Green player, William Dennis Reed of Flushing, N.Y., three separate bribes of SI,OOO each to "shave points” in 1959 and 1960. Hogan, who charged Molinas headed a ring that also included 11 other co-conspirators, cited the , games in which Reed was bribed were: Bowling Green vs. DePaul , at Chicago, Dec. 10, 1959; Bowling Green vs. Bradley at Peoria, 111., Dec. 12, 1959, and Bowling Green vs. Canisius at Buffalo, N.Y., Dec. 3, 1960. "The subornation ofperjury charge on which Molinas also was found guilty involved his attempt to persuade Reed to lie about the bribes before the grand jury. None of the players involved underwent criminal prosecution, having been granted immunity in testifying before the grand jury. H. S. Basketball Hoagland 73, Lafayette Central 27.

Over 200 Entries In Polio Bowling Over 200 entries were recorded during the first week of the Polio Sweepstakes in the men’s division, chairman Gary Schultz said this morning. The Polio Sweepstakes opened Wednesday, January 2, and runs the entire month of January. Previous to any . Tuesday night bowling, over 200 entries had already been received in the men’s division. No report was given in the women’s division, where Lucy Call is the chairman. Schultz and Rollie Ladd are in charge of the men’s division. Harold J. Hoffman of Decatur is the leader in the Sweepstakes after jhe first week of bowling. Handicap included, Hoffman’s three-game series of 678 tops the list. Trophies at Bank Trophies for the annual event are now on display at the First State Bank. The Decatur bank is sponsoring the sweepstakes, which is handled by the Decatur bowling association. The sweepstakes are being run at Villa Lanes and Eddie’s Recreation in Decatur, and Emick’s Bowl in Berne, and is open to anyone bowling in league play, either men’s, women’s, or mixed leagues. Bowlers may receive an entry blank from the league secretary the evening that his or her league bowls, and may enter as often as their league bowls. Fees are $1 in the men’s division and 50 cents in the women’s. A low-average bowler has as good an opportunity as a bowler with a higher average. Last year’s winner, Dan Johnson of Decatur, had only a 123 league average. Berne And Monmouth Game To Luers Gym The Berne-Monmouth game Friday, January 18, between the two top teams in the county, has been moved from the Monmouth gym to the Bishop Luers gym to accomodate more fans, John McConaha, Monmouth principal, announced today. Monmouth has a 10-1 record, while Berne has an 11-0 record. Most fans from both schools can be expected to attend the game, and since Monmouth’s gym is crowded with 900 in it, and Bishop Luers was available with 3,000 Seats, the game was rescheduled at the latter school. More than 1,000 are expected to attend. * Injured Fighter Is Still Serious LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Injured Argentine fighter Alejandro Lavijrante, unconscious since being' carried from the boxing ring on a stretcher last Sept. 21, was §till in serious condition today.
