Yellow Jackets Defeat Dunkirk After Overtime Battle Tuesday, 61-56

By Pete Reynolds Decatur’s Yellow Jackets, battling all the way, broke a four-game losing streak Tuesday night to register only their fourth victory of i the season, a 61-56 triumph over i the Dunkirk Speedcats in a rough and ragged contest at the Decatur 1 gym. Bill McColly’s lads had to come , from 10 points in arrears early in , the final quarter to pull into a 56- , 56 tie with 40 seconds of the regular playing time remaining. Neither team could score in the closing frantic moments, forcing the issue Into overtime. j The Speedcats were unable to 1 score in the extra three-minute • period, while the Jackets tallied 1 live points. * 1 Dave Gay provided Decatur 1 with the only points needed in the j overtime, driving under wide open < with 1:17 to play to drop in an easy two-pointer. He was fouled on the shot but missed the free throw. With 56 seconds to play, Jim Martin was fouled and dropped in a one-pointer. Greg Ladd iced the verdict when he connected twice from the foul line with 26 seconds to play. Dunkirk took ar early 9-4 lead but the Jackets came back to knot the score at 11-11 at the end of the first quarter. Six points by Bob McClure and seven by G a y carried the Yellow Jackets to a 36-27 advantage at the main intermission. McClure counted 14 points in the first half, but failed to score in the second half. Paced by Jon Overmeyer’s 11 points, the Speedcats moved to an eight-point advantage. 49-41, at the end of the third period, and a pair of foul tosses by the same lad stretched Dunkirk’s bulge to 10 points after seven seconds of the i final period. But the Jackets then started their whittling process, finally gaining the 56-56 tie ‘ on Tom Maddox’ fourth fielder of • the game. I Gay topped the Decatur scoring with 15 points, McClure tallied 14, Martin 11 and Maddox 10.

Lincoln B Winner In Grade Tourney Lincoln B copped the sth and 6th grade tournament championship trophy Tuesday afternoon with a 32-22 victory over Lincoln A in the high school gymnasium. The winners, coached by Stew Schnepf, led all the way in posting the victory, and taking one-year possession of the traveling trophy donated three seasons ago by the Decatur Industries. Lincoln A had won the tourney the past two seasons and would have taken permanent possession had they triumphed in the title game Tuesday afternoon. A big first quarter put the Lincoln B quintet into a big early lead, and Lincoln A spent the rest of the contest trying to catch up. Led by three fielders each by Mike Schnepf and Rich Fisher, the winners took a 14-7 lead at the end of the first period, which they upped to 20-11 at halftime. Boost Lead Schnepf scored all eight or his team’s points in the third quarter and the Lincoln B five added another two points to their lead entering the final quarter, 28-17, and they were never seriously threatened in the final stanza. Lincoln A, coached by Charles Abel, had downed Northwest B to enter the title game, while Lincoln B had advanced with a win over Southeast. Schnepf led all scorers with 18 points Tuesday, and Fisher chipped in with 10. Dave Winteregg was nearly the entire Lincoln A offensive, tallying 15 points.

Billy O'Dell Signed Al Pay Hike By Giants By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer Billy O’Dell, the Clemson College comet of a decade ago, has made a complete money cycle since his major league signing as a bonus baby. O’Dell agreed to terms Tuesday with the San Francisco Giants for a $25,000 figure, a sum the southern southpaw received from the Baltimore Orioles when they enticed him from the Clemson campus in 1954. The Giants boosted O’Dell about $7,000 over his 1962 salary for achieving his top big league record of 19 victories and 195 strikeouts and as a star in helping hoist the National League pennant over Candlestick Park. Willie Mays, the highest priced player on the club, Orlando Cepeda. Juan Marichal and Jack Sanford are among the Giants stars still to be signed. — Also signing with the club was outfielder Carl Boles, who hit .375 in 19 games as a utility man. Burdette In Fold Right-hander Lew Burdette, who broke his holdout habit last season, signed with the Milwaukee Braves and probably will be relegated for major bullpen duty this year by manager Bobby Bragan. Burdette had one of his worst seasons in 1962 when the 36-year-old pitcher won only 10 games. The hero of the 1957 Milwaukee World Series recorded 18 victories in 1961 and a peak of 21 wins in 1959. Hot-tempered Ray Sadecki was given another chance by the St. Louis Cardinals and indicated he is ready to stay out of the club's doghouse. The lanky, bespectacled southpaw was fined $250 last June for what manager Johnny Keane called “goofing off” on the mound. Nine Redbirds remained unsigned as catcher Tim McCarver and pitcher Alan Brice also settled into the Cardinal nest. Seven Indians Sign The Cleveland Indian mail was thick with seven signings, including outfielders Al Luplow and Ty Cline. Others were pitchers Bill Dailey and Joe Schaffernoth, outfielder Lee Green and infielders Larry Brown and Hector Cardenas. Gene Woodling finally halted reports he would move to the New York Yankees as a coach by signing with the New York Mets. The 42-year-old Woodling took a “slight Cut” in pay after batting .274 in 81 games last season. Catcher Elston Howard, pitcher Bill Stafford and infielder Phil Linz accepted Yankee terms, all with increases. Howard was raised $5,000 to $45,000, Stafford went from $18,000,t0 $20,000 and Linz reached SIO,OOO with a $2,500 raise. " ' •

Top Favorites Fare Well In I*- ■ Toumey Draw By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Top favorites in Indiana’s 53rd annual high school basketball tourney rode with Lady Luck virtually all the way today, assuring few early headon collisions when sectional warfare opens next Wednesday. Pairings for the 639 hopefuls in 85 sessions, from the 64 sectionals to the 4-team state finals at Butler Fieldhouse here March 23, were completed in 1 hour and 30 seconds, and the luck of the draw was particularly kind to most of the big-city clubs. Defending state champion Evansville Bosse, for instance, cannot meet tough city rival Rex Mundi until the sectional semifinals Saturday afternoon. Bosse opens against Mount Vernon Thursday night ad Rex Mundi against New . Harmony the same Hex Mundi is fourth in the state, Bosse 10th. Central Gets Break South Bend Central, No. 3 and one of the top choices for the crown, got a tremendous break, having to play only one game—against Madison Twp. Wednesday night—before reaching the sectional title clash and a possible third meeting with city foe Washington. They’re all even this season. • In the crowded Indianapolis sectional, ninth-rated Tech got the same break, opening against underdog neighbor Speedway Friday afternoon to coast into the sectional semis. But defending sectional champ Indianapolis Attacks has its work cut out, opening the Butler Fieldhouse tourney against city foe Shortridge Wednesday night. Central and South at Fort Wayne are destined to tangle Friday afternoon and East Chicago Washington, runnerup to Bosse last year, figured to with Hammond Thursday night. ®But these were among the few top unbalanced pairings in the 64 first-round sessions. John E. Sharp, Lucerne, a member of the IHSAA Board of Control, drew Geneva in the Adams Central sectional as the first team in the blind draw. Judson S. Erne, Columbus, whose Bulldogs are the only major unbeaten club left, picked the second team, Berne. The sectional pairings were made in just 53 minutes. Muncie vs Yorktown Top-rated Muncie Central opens its bid for a record fifth state ffown against Yorktown Thursday night. Columbus, No. 2, goes against Waldron Friday night.

Goshen, South i Bend Central, Top Contenders By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — South Bend Central and Goshen, co-lead-ers in the East NIHSC, loom as the top contenders from the Northeastern semi-state district to gain the Indiana high school basketball tourney finals. Which is another way of saying that Kokomo, the defending champion in the Fort Wayne semistate area, is virtually out of the running. But even the two top favorites may find the going extremely rough in their own sectional bailiwicks South Bend’s Bears, No. 3 in this week’s United Press International coaches’ board ratings and the UPI state title choice, may clash a third time with .city foe Washington, the last team to beat coach Jim Powers’ boys . in. a holiday tourney last Debember. The South Benders have won 10 in a row since then and Michigan City, the only other crew to beat them, is routed through the Lafayette semi-state district. Mentone People’s Choice The South Bend sectional winner advances to the Elkhart regional—but there’s no certainty, of course, that South Bend Central and Goshen will meet there. Elkhart’s Blue Blazers, although licked 11 times, lost at Goshen by just 4 points Feb. 1, 43-39. Goshen, on the other hand, has racked up 12 in a row since its lone loss this season, 64-49 at South Bend Central. .. ■ .. ~ People’s choice entry Mentone, beaten only by Elkhart in the latter’s Christmas holiday tourney, figures to make the Elkhart regional from the Warsaw sectional. At Fort Wayne, you might as well toss 4-5 names into the hopper and pick one. The Summit City sectional has never been more wide open, with most of the i city teams capable of winning

first-round laurels. The Fort Wayne sectional champ should find the regional there considerably easier before the showdown in the semi-state. The area’s other strong contender include Noblesville and Huntington. Millers Are Threat Noblesville’s Millers, beaten only twice, won easily over Indianapolis Ripple last weekend for their 17th triumph. They are routed through the Carmel sectional before getting a crack at regional honors at Kokomo. Huntington, also bested but twice and home with at least a piece of the Central Conference crown, looms as the top contender in the Marion regional district. However, both Marion and Bluffton, one of Huntington’s conquerors, bear watching. As for Kokomo, the Wildcats went from a 19-1 season record last year to 9-19 this time with one game to go. Coach Joe Platt lost his classy crew through graduation and there simply wasn’t enough talent around to bridge the gap. The Wildcats, state champs two years ago, may have to scrap all the way to win their sectional and regional to gain the “Sweet 16,” because, as coach Joe Platt predicted months ago, “this may be my weakest team.” If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
