Muncie Romps Over Jackets

Poor Free Throwing, Slow Start Main Factors In An 85-57 Season Opening Loss

By Bob Shraluka A pobr start, a .233 free throw shooting percentage, and a skinny sharnshooter bv the name of Terry York cost the Decatur Yellow Jackets a chance to chalk up a mark in the victory column in their first plunge into the new season Friday night. York led the Rebels of Muncie’s three- vear-old Southside hi.°h school to an 85-57 romn over the Jackets at the Muncie Central Fieldhouse, although the final score doesn't actutlly rt fleet the game played by the Yellow Jackets. A terrible start. In which they fell behind 20 points after the first eight minutes, put the Jackets into an early hole. Thcv battled back and outscored the Rebels 38-31 in the middle two t'eriods, but found the early deficit too much to overcome and the Southsidcrs romped away tn the final period. Even that shaky first stanza might have been overcome had the Jackets done anything at all at the 15-foot charity stripe. Os 30 charity attempts awarded them on 22 Muncie fouls, the Jackets could convert just seven — an almost unbelievable percentage of .233! Worse Second Half After hitting only three of nine free throws In the first half, the Mellow Jackets scored only four times in 21 tries in the final half. In fact, they missed 10 straight in the final eight minutes before Dave Hammond popped in two of two from the line late in the game. The Decaturites were visibly jittery in the onening period and were nearly , blown out.. of t h<• Fieldhouse by the hot-sKdoting Rebels. Jerry Egly scored on a rebound with a minute and 12 seconds gone to cut his club's deficit to 3-2, but the Rebels scored the next eight straight and were off and running. Dave Anspaugh got the only other Decatur fielder of the period, at the 1:27 mark, and the Jackets were down by 20. 27-7, as the second stanza opened. Begin To Move But in the second period, against the Mancie second five, the Yellow Jackets began to move and scope* off their fast break.

Three buckets by. Max Elliott helped the Jackets cut the Muncie lead from 31-11 to 31-19, before coach Bob Heeter rushed his starters back in. But the jackets naw had momentum, and jumpers by Anspaugh and Sam Blythe in the final 35 seconds sent coach Phil Miller's crew to the dressing room at halftime with just a nine point deficit, 38-29. York, who played only briefly in the second period, dumjx-d in his smooth Jump shot at the outset of the second half, but Sam Blythe connected in retaliation. But York po ip?d in two more, Rick Anderson scored on a drive and Dave Dill on a rebound effort, and the Rebels moved to a 48-’’l lead before Bill Blythe scored from under Jor Decatur. York hit twice more as his team moved into a 55-37 lend late in the period, but Anspaugh, and the Blythe brothers each scored from the field and Sam once from the foul stripe; cutting Muncie's lead to 13, 58-45 with one period to play. Pull Away York and Bill Blythe traded baskets before York hit again and 6-5 Glen Pryor tipped in a rebound for a 64-47 margin. The Rclx’ls kept hitting from the field and the Jackets kept missing from the free throw line, most of them on one and one (Situations, and the Rebs began to pull away. They steadily built their lead until it reached the final 28 points 85-57 Sam Blythe’s 13 tallies were high for Decatur and Elliott, who did a fine job rebounding despite his 5-10 size, was the only other Jacket in twin figures with 12. through only 5-9, 133 pounds, led all scorers with his 26 tallies, coming on 13 fielders.

At Huntington: Riddled Berne Team Will Start Tonight

by Bob Sbraluka They say high school basketball teams run in streaks —a couple of good seasons followed s by a couple of bad ones. ItS has been a while since Berne has® had a “down” season, but that is§ the forecast for Bear fans this® winter. g Bear teams had won four sec-g tional titles in a row, plus two” regional crowns, prior to season. Last season wasn’t ag good one, but it wasn’t bad eith-p er, as the Bears won nine and 5 lost 11. But they will more than z likely slip even more during this z campaign. P When coach Sanford Brueck--heimer, starting his second yearas Bear boss, sends his lads on- — to the floor at Huntington tonight, ' 1 there won’t be a single player;; with any previous varsity exper-L ience. 7 His entire tourney team last season has departed, includ--ing Loren Wanner, Dave Fox.r Fred Clauser, Bob Patterson, =■ Barton Sprunger, Dick Christy Stauffer, Greg Stahly. £ Dave Fields, Ron Von Gunten£ and Rick Inniger. All of the above named picked up diplomas this spring with the exception of Inniger, who moved to Peru this summer along with his family. The lost of In- ■ niger hurt too, because the younger of the Inniger brothers was just coming into his own late last season. He ended the campaign with a 13 points per game average. Young and Small The 1964-65 edition of the Bears will be small ,and young. Rick Beer, a 6-2 sophomore, is the tallest player on the team. Beer and four seniors are listed by Brueckheimer as probable starters for tonight’s The four seniors are Rick Beer and Jim Beitler, both six-foot-ers, 5-10 Dave Flueckiger and 5-8 Gary Sprunger. Mitch Kingsley, a 5-11 soph, may get a starting shot, however. Brueckheimer probably won’t have a set regular five for some Bob Marshman Badly Burned PHOENIX, Ariz. (tlPD—lndianapolis veteran Bobby Marshman, 28, was in critical condition today with burns suffered Friday in a flaming crash during a test run at the Phoenix International Raceway track. Officials at Good Samaritan Hospital said Marshman suffered second and third degree burns over 85-90 per cent of his body. Marshman’s rear-engine LotusFord caught fire and skidded into a wall as he came out of the No. 2 turn during an engine test. The vehicle was engulfed in flames but Marshman was able to get out without assistance. His clothing was on fire as he got out of the car. The blaze was quickly extinguished but not before Marshman was severely burned. The Pottstown, Pa., resident finished 25th in this year’s Indianapolis after stopping because of mechanical trouble. He was second in qualifying at Indy and has set unofficial sneedway records of be'ter than 160 miles per hour on the 2% mile oval.

Robinson of New York and Fabio Bettini of Rome fought to a 10-round draw Friday night. Robinson weighed 16014 pounds and Bettini 162%.

time. “The boys who show me that they have it and want to play, will play,” he has been quoted as saying. “All I can hope is that the boys improve as the season goes along,” he added. Best Shooters Two juniors, 6-1 Jon Studebaker and 5-6, 115 pound Mike Spichiger may be the team’s best shooters, and a 6-1 senior, Gregg Lehman, may be a surprise performer. Lehman has never played high school basketball, but is reported to be progressing well. In the sophomore group, however, is where Berne hopes for future lie. In addition to Kingsley and the husky Beer, Brueckheimer has the Renner twins,
