Falcons Start Slow But Down Knox 81-61 The John Glenn Falcons and the Knox Redskins returned to action Saturday night in a make-up of their regularly scheduled game Fndav after a long layoff for both teams With the weather playing havoc with high school schedules, this was the Falcons first game in two weeks since winning the BiCountv Tourney Knox brought along a 2-12 record to pit against the Glenn mark of 10-5 and until the last minute and a half of the second quarter and the second half, one had to think to remember which team was the winner and which the loser. The Falcons limped through the first half with just 6’5" senior Barry Heim providing anything in the way of offense while the underdog Redskins were getting some surprising plax out of their boys. With under two minutes left in the half. Knox led 32-24. but Heim countered with three baskets and Ron Haney one in the final minute and a half to start the w inning drive going which carried on the rest of the game. The win jumped Glenn to 11-5 while Knox slipped one notch further down in a rut that has plagued the once consistently good Redskin teams for several years. They arc now 2-13. The first quarter wasn't too much in the w ay of good end-to-end action as play was loose from the start and with the exception of Heim, the Falcons didn't know what a basket was until Haney connected on a lay in late in the quarter. Heim had put in four buckets and 3 Falcon free throws added to let Glenn come back to lead 15-10 as Jerry Johnson scored a tip-in late in the period. Knox had led 10-9. taking the lead with 2:30 left on Mark Small's lay-in. The six point string that finished the first period for Glenn was increased at the start of the second stanza as Johnson hit two free throws to open the quarter. Keith Reinholt then hit from the baseline medium depth. Steve Garland hit two free shots and Ken Koenig canned a jumper with 6:10 left in the half to pull the Redskins within one. 17-16. Heim broke the Knox spurt with a long bomb from the

side but Garland came right back with a short shot that was good. Lcn Jaskc hit one of two charity pitches which allowed Garland’s next basket to knot the count at 20 all with just under five minutes in the half. Garland then pushed Knox into the lead with one of two from the 15 foot line and Koenig hit a rebound shot to jump it to 23-20. Haney hit from the baseline for the Falcons but Garland had the hot hand and tossed in another short shot and followed with two free throws for a five point bulge. Johnson came back with a close in shot but Koenig hit one of two free throws. Kelly Dittmer a long shot and Koenig a basket to up the lead to 32-24 with under two minutes left. Heim at this point took things in his own hands as the Falcons just couldn't get anthing going until the leading scorer popped three shots in a row with Haney crowding one in the middle to knot it at 32 all at halftime. The third period turned out to be the decisive one in the game once again for Glenn. Finishing the first half with the last eight points, they continued right on where they left off to pull safely away for a lead that was never seriously threatened the rest of the game. Johnson broke the tie with a 17 footer. Haney hit a short shot to follow and Johnson added the Falcons third basket in less than a minute to up the lead to six. Glenn's pressure was forcing some fast Knox turnovers as the Redskins suddenly were displaying the reason they were 2-12. Koenig broke the 14 point Glenn streak with one of two free throws but Heim came right back with another 16 foot swisher for the Falcons. Koenig hit from the lane area to give Knox their first basket in over three minutes but on an out-of-bounds underneath, Heim took a little lob and put in an easy one. Johnson hit a short shot working underneath now and Jaskc got one of two free throws and then a angle bank shot from 12 for another seven point Falcon streak that put them well ahead 47-35. Koenig was all of Knox's offense at the moment as he bagged a short sho’, but Heim got both ends of a onc-and-one, then another lay-in. Jaske a medium range jumper and Johnson a lay-in after a scramble and loose ball pick-up. This had the lead at 18. a figure that

remained the difference most of the rest of the night. It was 62-43 going into the final period as in nine and a half minutes Glenn had outscored the visitors from Starke County 38-11. The rest w as a matter of time and letting the reserves get in game time as the final score of 81-61 was realized. Heim paced all scorers by a wide margin as he dropped in 34 points with 16 baskets and two of four from the line for his total. Johnson and Haney both hit double figures, Johnson hitting 16 and Haney 10. The Redskins were paced by Garland. who was the big offensive leader in their second quarter surge. He total 13. Koenig 12 and Reinholt 11 for the visitors. B Team Win* Handily The Falcon B Team ran away with another victory downing the Redskins reserves 63-46 in the preliminary game.

150 volunteer students from kindergarten through grade five. The students on the 45-15 schedule will attend school 45 days followed by a vacation period of 15 days. The year-round calendar will include a total of four 45-day school periods, resulting in the required 180-day academic year. The 45-15 plan will be offered concurrently with the traditional program, thereby providing an option for parents and their children. The Indiana Department of Public Instruction will provide the initial funding for the implementation of the pilot project as well as technical assistance through the YearRound Schools Division. NEW SURVEY TO UPDATE FARM PRODUCTION COSTS In 1975, U. S. farmers paid out nearly SB2 billion to produce crops, livestock and poultry. The report, issued by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Indiana Crop and Livestock Reporting Service, noted that the expenditure averaged more than $29,000 per farm, nationally. The major expenditure was for feed, which accounted for over sl2 billion, next came rent at $8 billion, followed by purchases of livestock and poultry for more than $7 billion. and fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners hit about $6.8 billion. Earl L. Park of the Indiana Crop and Livestock Reporting Service points out that farm prduction outlays need to be closely watched if there is to be a reliable measure of the farmers' economic condition as compared with other groups in the Nations's economy. Such informa-

tion helps gauge farm income levels. Mr. Park's office will interview a cross section of Indiana farmers during February as part of a nationwide survey to determine 1976 farm production expenditures. Along with questions concerning outlays for equipment and services and other production needs, some farmers also will be asked about their marketing patterns for corn, soybeans, wheat, and grain sorghum as an aid to accurately estimating farm income. Other producers will be asked about pesticide usage on crops and with livestock . Mr. Park stated that farmers’ responses will be confidential and only State and national summaries will be released.
