Greyhounds Haag On i Thursday’s second game was in direct contrast to the opening i breeze. The Greyhounds several • times built up what appeared to ' be comfortable leads but the Cardinals battled back every time to stay in the thick of the ball game. The teams struggled through the first minute and 20 seconds before Steve Lehman hit from the field ' for the tilt’s first points. Larry • Webb’s first field goal of the ' game gave Geneva a 5-4 advanti age with 4:15 to go in the first i quarter, and, oddly enough, that ' was the only time Geneva led, I despite the close tilt | ■ IZZZZ The Greyhounds were in front ’ at the end of the first period, 1511, and hung to leads varying from five to 10 points during the second bracket, with Mike Newcomer's , pair of free throws in the closing ' seconds cutting the Adams Cen- . tral lead to 33-25 at the half. Harry Anderson’s Cardinals ( started pecking away at their deficit and moved into a 36-36 tie with 4:12 to go in the third quarter. . Gary Workinger’s foul toss put [ the Greyhounds back on top and , they stayed in front the rest of j the way. Carl Honaker’s charges had a three-point margin at 46-43 enter- ' ing the final tight minutes of play. ; The Cardinals worked to within ‘ one point. 51-50, with 5:15 still to 1 in a row cost the Cardinals a 1 chance to take the lead. Geneva came within a single point again 1 at 53-52 with 1:20 to play, but ■' Don Sharp’s two-pointer and the same lad’s pair of foul tosses put the game out of Geneva’s reach.

Mike Newcomer led the Cardinals with 22 points and Larry Webb tallied 14. Both teams were inaccurate from the 15-foot stripe, the Greyhounds sinking 13 of 27 foul tosses, the Cardinals 14 of 27.

The bruising Muncie team, regarded as one of the best in the state, with me state champion and several other potential state champs, copped a hard-earned 393 triumph. Coach Giessler was well-pleased with the tremendous performance put forth by his squad before a huge crowd, the largest, by a great margin, to ever witness a high school wrestling match in this city. Large Crowd Rewarded The large crowd was rewarded with a bruising battle between the two clubs, and some fine efforts put forth by tne local wrestlers.

The Muncie team ' had to go all out to win the match, 1 and won by pins in only two ' matches, and by a default in a ' third. Dave Adams of Decatur lost a ' close 6-5 decision, and Alan Kal- ' Deane Lehman of Decatur were ■ ver also lost a close one, by a 4-2 1 point total.

Tourney Notes

By Bob Shraluka ANOTHER Adams county tourney is underway and two teams have already been eliminated, leaving four for Saturday’s sessions. —oOo— TOURNEY favorite Monmouth used a red-hot first half to down the Decatur Commodores and Adams Central’s Greyhounds hung on to knock Geneva out of the tournament in Thursday night’s opening round games. THE Commodores gave it all they had but were just overpowered by the potent Eagle scoring machine. Early four trouble hurt the Cardinals, who played half the game without regulars Rog Lautzenhiser and Bob McCabe, each of whom picked up four fouls in the first half. —-000— THE Eagles took top shooting honors in the opening games, hitting at a .361 clip on 27 fielders in 72 attempts. Geneva hit .359 from the field, 19 buckets in 53 shots, and the Commodores connected on 20 of 56 attempts for a .357 rater - Adams Central, who had a lot of tough luck in the second half in their shooting, finished at .333, 23 out of 69. —-000— MONMOUTH posted the best one-half shooting percentage of the evening as they hit a torid .476, 20 of 42, in running up their early lead against the Commodores. The best percentage in one period was Adams Central’s 7 buckets in 12 shots in the opening quarter of their game. —oOo— HUSTLING Don Sharp of the Greyhounds was the evening’s top individual shooter, as the veteran senior guard sniped nine baskets in 18 shots for a fine .500 mark. OTHER .400 or better shooters of boys who took nine or more shots were Clarence Scheumann, Eagles, five of 12, .417; Don Brown, Eagles, nine of 22, .409;
