Decatur Commodores Defeated Tuesday By Union By 58-45 Score

The Decatur Catholic Commodores saw their record drop to the .500 mark Tuesday night, as they dropped a 58-45 decision to Union, on the Huntington county’s club’s floor. The loss was number six of the season for coach George Waning’s quintet, as compared to six victories. The Commodores shooting and the weather outside the gymnasium were nearly identical — very co#, as the local lads could muster only 18 fielders throughout the contest, and only 45 points. Union led nearly the entire way to post the win, as the Commodores fell behind in the first period and spent the rest of the evening attempting to eatch up. Kohne Tops Scoring Ed Kohne continued his improved play, scoring 22 points, to lead the Decatur scoring attack, but received help only from Larry Hake, with 11 tallies. The host team had balanced scoring, with three boys in double figures and two others close to twin figures. A trio of baskets by Platt enabled his team to jump into a first per-, iod lead, and they held a 17-10 margin at the first stop. Continuing their balanced attack, the Union club had six boys score in the second quarter, and had their best eight-minute period of the night in round two, scoring 19 times to 13 Commodore markers. This enabled the hosts to take a solid 13-point lead to the dressing room at the main intermission, 36-23. Miss Chanee The winners were able to hang up only seven points on the scoreboard in the third period, but the Commodores missed a golden opportunity to chop the lead, as they' scored only eight times. Kohne and Hake were the only Decatur players to score in the period. Kohne hitting a pair of buckets and Hake a fielder and two charity tosses. Decatur never seriously threatened in the last quarter, as Union boosted its lead back to 13 points for the final margin of victory. Platt topped the wipners scoring with 14 tallies, while Shearer added 12 and Shafer 10. Only 21 personal fouls were whistled in the contest. 13 against the Commodores and eight against Union. The winners hit 10 of 17 at the charity line, and the green and gold connected nine times in only 13 attempts. The Commodores will be looking to go over the .500 mark Friday when they travel to Bishop Luers to meet the rugged Knights. FRESH - LEAN GROUND BEEF LB. 39‘ SAVE 10c lb.

Vikings Happy Over Signing Os Vanderkelen MINNEAPOLIS (UPD —Officials of the Minnesota Vikings, elated over their surprising success in landing one of the hottest pro footbaH quarterback prospects in years, began making plans today on how to use the star Wisconsin caller. The player, of course, is Ron VanderKelen of Green Bay, Wis., who signed a hefty one-year contract with the Vikings Tuesday, presided over a press conference, and left for home to continue studying for mid-term examinations at the University of Wisconsin. VanderKelen, whose passing made him toe hero ofthe Jan. 1 Rose Bowl game, ignored pressures from his home town to sign with toe Packers and instead chose to go with the younger Vikings squad. He expressed confidence that he would get to play more with the Vikings than with most other National Football League clubs, and said he was impressed that the Minnesota team “would think enough of me to have their head coach (Norm Van Brocklin) come to see me personally.” He said the contract carries a "substantial” salary, but one that was “not way out of line.” The 6-1, 176-pound passing whiz said he chose the Vikings, who had a 2-11-1 record last season, over the world champion Packers because toe “Vikings are a new team, on their way up, and I'll have a fine opportunity to play with them.” Van Brocklin agreed and said VanderKelen will be “given every chance to play football.” “We’ll have him in our offices in the Twin Cities prior to the opening of summer drills so he can learn the terminology and technicalities of professional football,” Van Brocklin said. “Then when we go to camp (Bemidji. Minn.) he’ll know what he’s talking about.” H. S. Basketball Evansville Bosse 59, Evansville Harrison 38. Gary Emerson 47, Gary Wirt 40. Lebanon 71, Sheridan 67. MW . SHOWER RUN COLD?

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Muncie Central, its bid for a perfect campaign wrecked by South Bend Central, received a vote of confidence today and remained Indiana’s No. 1 high school basketball power. ; : The United Press International coaches’ board gave Muncie only 8 of 18 first - place votes but enough support for 156 points—enough to beat runnersup South Bend Central and Michigan City by 23 points. The South Benders and Michigan City got three first - place votes each, and fourth-place Evansville Rex Mundi got the other four for a total of 120 points. Michigan City also was tied for second place last week while South Bend's Bears climbed from sixth position. Anderson, in a second-place tie last week, skidded to sixth behind unbeaten Columbus following its 74-63 loss at Muncie last Friday Bosse 10th Once-beaten Gary Roosevelt and defending state champion Evansville Bosse remained seventh and 10th, respectively, but Goshen and Indianapolis Tech, both defeated only once, occupied new berths. Goshen moved up one notch’, from ninth to eighth 1 , while Tech slipped one, from eighth to ninth. This week marked only, the second time this season that half a dozen contenders for Bosse’s throne received as many as 100 points. The panel of experts, voting on games through last Saturday, apparently felt one defeat wasn't enough to displace Muncie from its lofty perch, especially since South Bend has lost twice and Michigan City was beaten by a lower bracket team—Goshen. But several other teams were dropped entirely, among them Jeffersonville, Indianapolis Attucks, Tipton, Terre Haute Wiley, Fort Wayne North and Berne. - Vikings 11th The breakdown, with first places and total points: 1.

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams FRIDAY Angola at Yellow Jackets. Commodores at Bishop Luers. Adams Central at Pennville. Monmouth at Lancaster Central. Portland at Berne. Hartford at Ohio City. Geneva at Dunkirk. SATURDAY Warren at Geneva. Three Os Top College Teams On Twin Bill CHICAGO (UPD — The nation’s three top-ranked college basketball teams will appear on the same doubleheader Saturday. And it was questionable whether offense or defense would steal the show. In the headline match, the nation’s No. 1 rated team, Cincin- ■ nati, will defend its 32-game winning streak and 14-0 record this season against toe No. 3 rated quintett. Illinois, which is the nation’s second highest scoring team. The second game will match unbeaten Loyola of Chicago, with a 17-0 record this season, ranked No. 2 nationally and the highest scoring team in the nation with a 97.7 point per game average, against luckless Santa Clara, whose coach describes his team as “just average” with a 9-4 record.

Offense Vs. Defense Cincinnati, which also leads the nation in defense, allowing only 48.5 points per game, will face a team which has averaged 88.6 points per game, and the outcome may show whether a good defense can beat a good offense. Coach Harry Combes of the lllini. who scouted the Bearcats in their last game, against Bradley, said his team had no fears of the Cincinnati defense, although he said his Saturday rival did have a “real fine zone press that would bother anybody.” But he added that his team “can attack a zone as well as a man to man defense,” and that “if the ball Is falling, you’ve got a chance to beat any zone.” Strives For Balance Ed Jucker, coach of the Beareats, hoped for “well balanced scoring” from his team with four or five players “hitting in double figures” and doing their usual fine defensive job to win. “We have different thinking, a different philosophy, than scoring 30 or 40 points a game,” Jucker said. “We’re not interested in how many points a player has scored. In our case it’s ‘Did you take care of your man?’ “I teach that no one man will beat you. If each one takes care of his own man, you can win. We foul so little because we’re not interested in taking the ball away, in lunging or grabbing for it. Our object mainly is to create bad passes, in harassment. “I don’t think we’re as good as we have been in the past. For one thing we’re forced to play Thom Thacker at forward, and we lost Paul Hogue, who -was 6-9, and replaced him with a 5-10 guard, so we lack height and very much experience on toe bench.” College Basketball Butler 70, Southern Illinois 58.

Wrestlers Are Handed Defeat Tuesday Night The Decatur high school wrestling team suffered its fourth loss of the season Tuesday evening, but battled a rugged Marion team ’all the way” in losing a 32-14 decision. The loss evened the local lads’ season record to four wins and four defeats, but once again they turned in a fine job in losing a close decision to one of the state’s better-rated wrestling teams. As has been the case in recent matches, the Decatur- grapplers grabbed an early lead, but were hurt by a famine of pints in the last six weight classifications. Heavier Wgto, Fail After Roger Conrad posted a win in the 133-pound class, the sixth individual match, the Decatur team failed to post another point, as Marion chalked up a total of 26 points in the final six weights. And as was toe case against equally - tough Muncie Central, the Decatur lads lost several onepoint decisions, a total of four in all. Mark Corral continued his winning ways in the 95 pound division pinning Myers of Marion in one miute and 30 seconds of the first period. The victory was Corral's ninth of the season without a loss, one of the few unbeaten grapplers in the area. Dave Adams ran into a rugged opponent in the 103-pound weight and lost for only the second time this season, a 4-0 decision. Alan Kalver continued his victory skein in the 112-pound class, however, as he posted a victory by an 8-4 decision. Kalver’s win was his ninth of the year as against only one loss. Myer* Winner Gary Myers boosted coach Gary Giessler’s team total lead to 11-3 in the 120-pound division, as he copped a 5-3 decision from Krueger of Marion. Holding a 5-3 point lead after two periods, Manny Ybarra let his opponent score three points in the final period, and Ybarra lost a one-point decision, 6-5. Roger Conrad, however, regained those three points when he was a winner in the 133-pound class, winning a 5-4 decision over

Deane Lehman then lost a one-pointer, 3-2, and Larry Reinking and Terry Smiley were pinned in their matches. Reinking was pinned in only the second period, while Smitley put up a good battle before being pinned in the' third period. “Trio” 26-3 Hie victories by Corral and Kalver ran the record of the “talented trio” to 26 victories for the season, against only three losses. Steve Hazelwood continued to be held on the sidelines under doctor’s orders, due to a shoulder injury sudered two weeks ago.
