Bears Suffer Third Defeat Saturday Night Free throws cost the Berne Bears their third loss of the season Saturday, as the Bears went down to defeat at the hands of the Concordia Cadets, 62, 55, at the Fort Wayne North Side gym. The Bears outshot the Cadets from the field, 26-21, but Concordia converted 20 of 31 free throws while the Bears made good on only three of a meager 10 chances from the foul line. The Cadets led at the first quarter, 20-12, at the half, 39-28, and at the third period, 47-39. The Bears came within three points at 54-51 with 4:48 to play, but the Cadets again pulled away. Big Tom Baack paced the Concordia scoring with 27 points, Dave Widenhofer tallied 14 and Dave Stauffer 12. Jerry Roenough led the Bears with 17 points and Karl Kingsley added 10. Erv Inniger, Berne’s leading scorer, got in early foul trouble and sat out much of the contest, scoring only six points. There were 20 fouls called on Berne, only eight on Concordia. The Bears wind up their season Friday night, meeting the tough New Haven Bulldogs at New Haven.

Don January Wins Al Tucson By 11 Strokes TUCSON, Ariz. (UPD—If they drive for show and putt for dough, as all golfers claim, then Don January is in business. He captured the $25,000 Tucson Open golf tournament Sunday with one of the most fantastic four-day putting displays on record — whipping a strong field by 11 big strokes. So he picked up his $3,500 check and headed for a 10-day vacation today before reporting to New Orleans for the open tournament starting there March 1. “The putting was phenomenal,” beamed the usually silent Texan. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Neither had most of the other touring professionals. January closed out the tournament by shooting a seven-under-par 65, postong a 72-hole score of 266— 22 under par —for the distance on a toagh golf course, the 49er’s Country Club. He had rounds of 65-67-69-65 for the four rounds of play. He never three-putted a single green. Former National Open champion Gene Littler finished in a deadlock for second place with defending champion Phil Rodgers, each with 2765, good for $2,050. January was great off the tee, but he was fantastioi on the greens. For the 72 holes he used only 119 putts, 25 under par on the greens. He also played the final 36 holes without taking a single bogey. He had started Sunday’s round holding a seven-shot advantage over the field. Everyone—except Don-thought he’d play it cozy. But on the first, third and sixth holes he rolled in birdie putts of 20 feet each. “I knew it was all over then,” he said. “I couldn’t lose unless I did something awfully dumb.” But he never let up. In fact, he turned right around and eagled the next hole, a par-five, 518-yarder, when he spanked his approach into the green and then tanked the six-foot putt. He had nines of 31-34.

Cincinnati And Loyola Handed First Defeats UPI Sports Writer Dave Stallworth for All-Amer-ica. —— That’s the cry from Wichita, Kan., today for the 6-foot, 6-inch, 200-pound University of Wichita star who almost single-handedly ended top-ranked Cincinnati’s 37game winning streak Saturday night. Stallworth, a junior from Dallas, Tex., scored two clutch free throws and wound up with 46 points to lead 17th-ranked Wichita to a 65-64 victory over the de-fense-minded Bearcats in a Missouri Valley Conference game at Wichita. Second-ranked Loyola of Chicago also took it on the chin Saturday night, losing, 82-75, to Bowling Green at Bowling Green, Ohio, for its first defeat in 22 games this season. With Cincinnati and Loyola losing, the nation is without a major unbeaten college basketball team. Four other teams in the top 10 lost Saturday while only thirdranked Duke, fifth-ranked Arizona State University, eighthranked Stanford ad lOth-ranked Oregon State won. Illinois, ranked No. 4, sixthranked Colorado, seventh-ranked Mississippi State and ninthranked Georgia Tech fell by the wayside. Cincinnati, two-time defending NCAA champion with a 19-game winning streak this season, led, 64-63, with 1:30 left to play before Stallworth converted two free throws in the final seconds. The Bearcats, who had held opposing

Indiana Beats Illinois, Ohio Ties For Lead CHICAGO (UPD— Illinois owned the Big Ten’s record-s ell in g sharpshooter in Dave Downey but its chances for the basketball championship were another story. Downey scored 53 points, a league high for a regulation 40minute game, but it wasn’t enough to save the Illini from a 103-100 loss to Indiana and a tumble into a first place tie with Ohio State. The Buckeyes, who have been beaten by Illinois and upset by lowa this season, matched the Illini’s 6-2 record with Saturday gan. Not to be overlooked was third place Minnesota, a half-game off the pace, and with the pleasant prospect of playing four of its five remaining conference games at home, including tonight’s clash with Wisconsin. The Buckeyes also play at home tonight, facing Michigan State, while the road-weary Illini face Purdue on the Boilermaker court. Downey’s 53 point total bettered by one the previous conference high set by Purdue’s Terry DiscKager in a non-overtime contest. The record regardless of time was established by Jimmy Rayl of Indiana against Minnesota last year. Downey’s hot hand of 27 points in the first half propelled the Illini to a 50-41 edge at midpoint. But the smaller Hoosiers rallied behind the one-two scoring punch of Rayl and Tom Bolyard to pour in 62 points after the intermission and win going away. Downey was not overjoyed by his, scoring feat. “There are no heroes when you lose,” he told congratulators after the game. “There’s no kick in setting records that way.” Illini coach Harry Combes regretted the loss of Skip Thoren on fouls. “This was important,” he said. “We couldn’t keep Indiana from getting that second and third shot the way we had been doing.” In other games Saturday night, Wisconsin defeated Northwestern, 78-65, and lowa handed Purdue its ninth loss in 10 league games, 73-64 Ohio State’s Gary Bradds, who scored 34 points Saturday night, remained the Big Ten’s scoring leader with a 31.4 average. The Hoosies monopolized the next two places with Rayl’s 29.1 average and Bolyard’s 24.4.

teams to an average of 50.2 points a game — best in the nation — were unable to stop the lanky Stallworth, who entered the game with a 20.5 scoring average.

Four Indiana Prep Quintets Are Undefeated INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Four clubs, led by classy Columbus, aim for perfect records and half a dozen major conference championships will be decided in this week’s windup of the regular Indiana high school basketball season. Columbus, No. 4 in the state last week and 102-86 conqueror of fifth-ranked Anderson in Saturday’s “game of the week,” was favored to finish with a 20-game winning streak and the South Central Conference title in its home game against Jeffersonville Friday. New Ross can make it 21 in a row by winning at Granville Wells, which has lost only once. Eminence also hopes for a 20game string when it closes at Bloomington University, and Loogootee has its eyes on an 18-game string in its season finale against Plainville, all also Friday. Title Races Alexandria can tie Huntington for the Central Conference crown by besting Wabash Friday; Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, upset by Indianapolis Attacks over the weekend, 58-56, can repeat in the Western Conference by winning from city foe State Tuesday; thirdrated Evansville Rex Mundi was favored in the South Conference with victories over city neighbor Central Tuesday and Tell City Friday, and the two Northern Conference titles were expected to have many takers. The West NIHSC crown figured to be split three ways, provided East Chicago Washington wins at Gary Emerson Wednesday. Hammond and Gary Tolleston are the other co-titlists. Goshen and South Bend Cetral, tied for East NIHSC honors, close on the road with league games. South Bend. No. 2 in the state, is at Elkhart Friday and Goshen, No. 7, at Mishawaka. Top-ranking Muncie Central put a lock on the North Central Conference crown last Friday and Columbia City grabbed the North-

Monmouth Regulars Play In Sectional According to latest reports, both Don Brown and Dean Schieferstein of the Monmouth Eagles will be ready for sectional play next week, although they may not play in the Eagles’ final season game Friday night. Following x-rays over the weekend. it was discovered that Schieferstein does not have a cracked bone in his foot, as first feared, coach Don Elder said at noon today. Schieferstein suffered the foot injury in Friday night’s game, and it was first thought that possibly a bone was cracked. However, eastern Conference title Saturday when Elmhurst clipped New Haven’s 14-game winning streak with a 58-53 upset. Russell Led Dogs There were a few other weekend surprises, but Columbus stormed past host Anderson with relative ease, leading at every stop. It was 21-18 after one period and 43-37 at the half. Tbe wellbalanced Bulldogs had five players in double figures, led by Bill Russell’s 23 points, although Anderson’s Steve Clevenger took scoring honors with 25. New Castle, which upended Anderson Friday night, couldn’t stand prosperity for long and lost to Connersville the next night, 8180, in overtime. And LaPorte, recent upsetter of Michigan City, ended Hammond’s 8-game string in another overtime sizzler, 65-64. South Bend Central, meanwhile, dropped East NIHSC rival Fort Wayne North, 72-63, and Goshen won a non-loop game from Wash-ington-Clay, 54-44. Michigan City, Gary Roosevelt, and Huntington, other “Big 10” members, also won non-league games. Michigan City trounced Peru, 76-56; Gary won from Chicago Carver, 59-55, and Huntington polished off Logansport, 52-39. The regular season ends Friday for all practical purposes. Only a handful of games are on Saturday’s program, with most teams resting up for the start of the four-week state tourney with sectional play a week from: Wednesday. 1

it now appears that a muscle was Irritated, causing the injury. Elder said also today that Brown, the Eagles' leading scorer the past three seasons, “does not have a kidney infection,” as is rumored throughout the county. Not Kidney Infection The Eagle star wrenched some back muscles recently, which caused a certain amount of pressure on the kidneys. There is no infection of the kidneys, however. Both Schieferstein and Brown are being treated for the injuries, and whether either will play Friday night is still undetermined. In the southern half of the county, star Berne Bear forward Erv Inniger is also expected to be ready to go “full blast” in next week’s sectional meet. Inniger suffered a pulled groin muscle several weeks ago and was slow to respond to treatment at first. He is nearly fully recovered now, however, and feels “much better" physically. Many rumors were also circulating about Inniger’s condition, also attributing several diseases to his condition. All are falsehoods. Newcomes SUU Sick The biggest “problem” as far as basketball is concerned, is at Geneva, where junior Mike Newcomer, the county’s leading scorer with a per game average of over 28, still remains at home with a case of influenza. Newcomer came down with the sickness last week and missed both of Geneva’s games last week. He was in school just one-half day last week, and was not in school again this morning. There is a possibility that his sickness is the Asian flu, which is beginning to spread in Indiana. Newcomer is definitely a question mark as far as the sectional is concerned. His absence would be a crushing blow to the Cardinals. Big Ten Standings W L Pct.
