Champion Jets Play Host To Leo In Opening Game Friday; Several Stars Are Returning

By Bob Shrahika “We realize that we caught a lot of teams by surprise last year, and that this year they will be ready for us,” says Adams Central coach Vernon Zurcher, as his 1964 Sectional champions prepare to open a new campaign at home Friday evening. Leo's Lions travel down from Allen county to meet the Jets Friday night, in the 1964-65 lidlifter. Zurcher, who in his first season as Jet coach piloted the team to the school’s first sectional title in history, realizes that his club surprised many teams on the way to its fine 16-4 regular season record in the past campaign. But, he sees this as a possible blessing in disguise In regards to defending that sectional title come February. "This should help to make us tougher by tourney time because we will have to work and be ready for every game,” the Jet jockey adds. Three Starters Three of last season’s starters, Don Egley, Bill Hlrschy and Gary Clouse, have picked up diplomas, as did substitutes Steve Lehman and Mike Levse. But the Jets have a good nucleus re* turning. Hot shot guard Tony Ehrsam, one of the county’s leading scorers last year, and Roger Schnepp, a junior with tremendous potential, are returning for another campaign. Ehrsam, a senior, is only one-half inch short of the six-foot mark, and weighs 160 pounds. Schnepp, a regular as a sophomore, has stretched up to 6-3 and tips the scales at a strong if light, 168 pounds. Ehrsam should provide Zurcher with outside shooting strength, plus plenty of driving down the middle, while Schnepp will handle a lot of the rebounding chores and probably find a lot of time to score points also. Ringger Returns Also returning from last season is Art Ringger, a 6-2, 175 pound senior, who started several times and saw plenty of action last year, plus Mike Ross, a 5-11, 165 pound senior and Steve Smith, a swift 5-5%, 125 pound iiininr. Both Ross and Smith got into varsity competition last season (enough to earn letters) and Smith was used a lot toward the end of the campaign. Either Smith or Ross will mpre than likely earn a starting job, along with Ehrsam, at guard. Ringger will be valuable man to have around, as far as rebounding goes, and should score more this season than in his past two varsity campaigns. May Be Key The key to another great season may just be a former Pleasant Mills, star. Rex Funk, a 6-2 180 pound senior. Funk, after his school was absorbed into the Adams Central system last year, didn't come out for basketball until around Christmas, and then spent the rest of the season with the reserve team. If he can recapture the form he demonstrated as a Spartan two seasons ago, and add a bit of improvement, Funk could be the

one 4o give the Jeta y rugged front line, along with Ringger and Schnepp. As yet, Zurcher has not decided on a starting lineup for Friday’s battle with the Lions. “We will not have a definite starting lineup for some time because we, want to experiment with several combinations. We have had keen competition on the team for the starting spots, however, we realize that it is difficult to win with only five boys. The boys realize that the practice sessions are the real proving grounds for the games, and certainly every boy has been working to better himself and the team in practice,” the likeable mentor explains.

, “This team should have a - very good bench, which will give r up an opportunity to use a variety i in both our defense and offense,” • the coach said. ) Comprising this bench, and dei finitley not eliminated from pos- > sible starting berths, are seniors ; Jim Hill, 5-10, 180 pounds, Steve Minnich, 6-%, 164 pounds; and r Dave Speakman, 5-9, 155 pounds; , juniors Jerry Morningstar and J Steve Stucky, 5-10, 150 pounds. - Morningstar, 6-0, 148, could turn s into one of the team’s talented ; performers. He has the speed and ability necessary, and could either provide relief up front, or grab himself a starting spot. 1 Catch Winning Spirit i He goes on to say that “this t group of athletes seem to have , caught the winning spirit and they j would like to equal or better last 1 year's record.” In early prac--1 tices, Zurcher has had his cant i County Auditors To ’ Meet On Thursday , Adams county auditor Ed Ja ’ berg will be one of 52 persons ( attending the meeting of the Adams county auditor Ed Ja- , northeast district courity auditors Thursday evening at the Dutch ’ Mill in Bluffton.

The program for the evening will include a question and answer session with the represent tatives of the two state boards. > - Woman Arraigned On Theft Charges Ann Norris, 42, former Coppess Corners resident now living in Geneva, was arraigned in the Adams circuit court today on two charges of theft by deception, a charge that comes under the petit larceny statute. She was taken into custody by the sheriff's department Monday night on warrants from the court, as affidavits were filed against the Geneva woman by Jerome Schwartz and Joshua Zurcher, Adams county residents. They contend that they paid Mrs. Norris $12.44 each for a pair of shoes which they did not receive. Mrs. Norris independently sells shoes for a firm.

didates working hard on fundamentals and individual conditioning. Blister problems slowed the conditioning somewhat, but the boys bothered with them seem to be overcoming the problem this week. Defense and rebounding are the main problems of the pre-train-ing sessions thus far. “We are not satisfied with the development of our team defense,” the coach said, “but it has been improving rapidly the past two weeks.” He figures his club will be able to use a zone or man-to-man defense as the situation demands. “Zurch,” as he is known to many, hasn’t been satisfied with the club’s rebounding yet either, but is hoping it will improve. Balanced Attack “Offensively,” Zurcher says, “we are pointing to a balanced scoring attack. This seems to be one of our early season bright spots. No team should be able to concentrate on stopping one or two boys. Every member on our team that has shown in practice that they can hit that basket, although this does not mean that we will just run and shoot,” Zurcher explains. "We do not want to make any predictions for the coming season, as we prefer to play them one at a time.” This, and the attitude Zurcher expresses by saying “we like to think that every athlete is important to the team success,” is what got Adams Central its first title last season, in this writer’s opinion. That same attitude will make them the team to beat again this year! surer of state by 1,438 votes, over Republican John Snyder. He received 5,866 votes to Snyder’s 4,371; 56 were cast for Prohibitionist A. Terry Crall, and 1 for the Socialist Labor candidate. Miss Helen Corey, of Terre Haute, former secretary to Mayor Ralph Tucker of that city, and presently director of the bureau of women and children, Indiana division of labor, defeated Mrs. Virginia Caylor by 1,684 votes 5,977 to 4,234, with 59 going to the Prohibitionist, Lois G. Krandell. Judicial Races Amos W. Jackson led James C. Cooper by 1,682 votes, 5,931 to 4,249. Jackson is a former supreme court judge, and the Democratic strength there remains the same, two members to five for the Republicans.
