In addition, one of the other Decaturites bat- _ tied his C.

Coach Gary Giessler's wrestlers will have 4o travel a long way for their sixth victory next week, as they are scheduled to meet Angola-in the Angola gymnasium Tuesday night. New Mark Oddly, the former school record for the fastest victory came against Central Catholic also. Back on January 28 of this year, the now-guaduated Hazelwood pinned C. C.’s heaveyweight in just 29 seconds in a meet at the Decatur gymnasium. Eyanson eclipsed the previous mark by two seconds last night when he "bombed" Denny Doehring with a 27-sccond pin. The 103 |xnmd Eyanson, rapidly becoming one of the best grapplers on a talented squad, hud tied the school mark at Union C i t ylast week. In his freshman year. Evan,son came up with a surprising 10-5 record as a 95-poundcr'. With five wins in five bouts this season, he appears well on his way to bettering that mark. Rout On Once Eyanson quickly desposed of his foe, the rout began. Art Ybarra, who won his regular 112 pound spot back from Frank Eguia. won an 8-2 decision over Neil Hayes. Ybarra was followed by the four-year veterans, Gary Myers and Dave Adams. who both were victorious by pinning. Myers

whipped .Ed Alverez in the 120 class in just 49 seconds and then Adams pinned Baumgartner with 29 seconds left in their bout, after building up a 12-0 point lead. It was the seventh straight win for both, and Adams has ulon all seven with pins! Ranidly - improved Bob Hawkins recorded his third triumph without a loss -since dropping from the 138 to 133 class with a 7-0 decision over Roberto Trevino. Kin Lutes, wrestling in the 138 weight, gained sweet revenge when he pinned John Snyder with 53 seconds remaining in the second round of their bout. Snyder had bested Lutes in a 6-0 decision for the title In last Saturday's tournament. Tim Magley, another veteran performer, followed Lutes with a 5 4 decision over Frank Kahn as he twice came from .behind to win. It was Magley's seventh straight win. Dal Wins Dal Wittgenfeld, the favorite of the fans, provided the usual excitement seen in his matches before Bob Fisher with 30 seconds gone in the final stanza of their 154 division battle. Witt-, genfeld was trailing 7-0 in the second period before he scored 13 straight points and tften pinned his opponent for his seventh successive triumph. Andy Crider, who beat out Dennis Smitley for the starting spot in th" 165 class, surprised with a third period pin of Tom Moreo. Moreo had won the title in the finals from Smitley in Saturday’s tournament Crider had a 4-2 lead when he pinned Moreo with 35 seconds elapsed in the third round Great, Match Then came what was the finest match of this season, and

perhaps the past four seasons. Derryl Grote and Dave Dowden, a pair of strong, and talented, 180-pounder», fought to a scoreless deadlock. Grote, who now has six wins and a tie for the season, had squeaked out a 3-2 decision over Dowden Saturday, but neither wrestler could gain an advantage last night.

NEW YORK (UPI) — Baseball executives appeared unconcerned today that their private territory would be invaded by telecasts of out-of-town games as a result of a sl2 million deal wi h the American Broadcasting Company. Gabe Paul, general manager of the Cleveland Indians, was the loudest supporter of Tuesday’s agreement with ABC providing for a “Game of the Week" television program, calling it a "great thing.” "It’s been the first time there’s been a sharing of television receipts like this,” Paul said. "It’s going to revolutionize future negotiations. . . a great thing for all clubs.” Under ’he terms of the twoyear contract, which thus far includes 18 of the 20 major league clubs, ABC will televise on a national circuit a game every Saturday and on two holidays. The only teams not included in the package are the New Yok Yankees and the Philadelphia Phillies. The 18 participating clubs will divide equally the annual six million dollar fee regardless of how often they appear. The Yankees were unable to participate because they still have a year remaining on a special weekend contract with the Columbia Broadcasting system. However, Yankee road games on Saturdays will be available to ABC. John Fetzer, owner of the Detroit Tigers and chairman of the Major Leagues’ Baseball Television Committee, said that the Phillies migh’ be available to take part before the start of the 1965 season.

(UPD— Blooming on Fire Chief Ed Miller plans to force Indiana University officials to reduce the seating capacity of the relatively new LU. fieldhouse on the grounds it does not have enough exits. ' Miller said Tuesday tha‘ he had inspected the fieldhouse with members of the university staff Dec. 7 and had ordered them to cut the seating capacity. He said he thought he had mentioned a new limit of about 3,000 seats. TTie fieldhouse currently seats almost 10,000 persons. Miller said he would give the university “a reasonable time” to comply with the order before taking any further action. Meanwhile, a university spokesman denied that Miller had ordered a reduction in seating capacity. "Die spokesman, who asked not to be identified; told the student radio station, WFIU, that Miller had said nothing about seating capacity or the amount of exit space when he inspected the fieldhouse. The spokesman said Miller merely. asked that more “no smoking” signs be installed and that the smoking ban be more effectively enforced. A last one.

Eagles Win

The drought is over! Monmouth’s Eagles, cashing in 32 of 42 free throw attempts, posted their first victory of the 1964-65 season Tuesday night with a 68-65 decision over the Monroeville! Cubs at the Monmouth gymnasium. The. victory broke a losing skein that had reached nine games for coach Don Elder’s young ball club. The Cubs have now lost eight straight, and are still seeking their first victory. Splendid work at the charity stripe told the tale, as the Eagles made up a 25-18 deficit from the field by converting 32 of the 42 attempts they were given at the chariy sripe. The Cubs scored just 14 points from the line, in 25 attempts. A total of 43 personals were called in the contest, 26 on the visiting Cubs and 17 on Monmouth. Down At Half After a 15-15 deadlock at the end of one period, the Eagles found themselves down by a ST--34 score at halftime. An 18point third period pulled them into a 52-49 lead entering the final stanza, however, and they hung on for the win. Monroeville, with seven more field goals, shot very well from the field. In fact, they hit an even 50 per cent, 25 of 50. Monmouth had a 40 per cent night, tossing in their 18 buckets on 45 shots. Danny Conrad, though held to just four fielders, tallied 16 points from the 15-foot stripe and paced all scorers with 24 markers. Denny Reinking, the sophomore floor general, came up with his best scoring effort of the year, 18 points, and Fred Fuelling added 10. Galen Mclntosh paced the Cubs with 18 tallies and Steve Smith was right behind with 17. Rick Screeton added 11. The Eagles host Bishop Luers of Fort Wayne at the Decatur gym Friday night, While the Cubs travel to Roanoke.

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1964

Wednesday nights. The Decatur Daily Democrat will donate a championship trophy again this year, to go to the winning team. Opposite Brackets The draw appears to be a “good one,” in that the two clubs with the best records, Decatur Catholic and Bryant, are in opposite brackets. The Owls currently own a 6-1 record, while the Commodores are 4-1. The long Bryant loss came at the hands of Redkey, whom the green and gold bested last week by a 93-79 score. Bob Boyle, of course, is the Commodore coach, while Bryant is led by John Minch. Madison Twp. is the defending tourney champion, having won the meet last season under Art Habegger. Madison, however, has won just two of five this season under new mentor Jeff Coffel. Twb New Teams «White’s Institute, coached by Jon Cooper, is currently winless in six outings and do not have any games scheduled before next week’s tourney. White’s, located about five miles south of Wabash, has an enrollment of approximately 100 students. i Bryant and White’s are the tourney’s new entrants, replacing Geneva and Gray from last year’s field.
