LaVille Dominates Falcons In First Round Os Tourney A patented Larry Radecki game plan worked to perfection Saturday afternoon in the snow-delayed BiCounty Tourney as the LaVille Lancers ousted the John Glenn Falcons from the annual event in a first round game. With a team riddled by graduation from the last two year’s sectional championships. and one that does not have a lot of naturals or great athletes, the Lancers followed their instructions very well to operate their motion offense with sharp, crisp passing, cutting and litterally tearing the Falcon defense to pieces. The Falcons never led, were tied only twice at 2 and 4, and simply did not have a good game in the Lancer controlled tempo. The loss dropped the Falcons record to 6-5 for the year while LaVille advanced on to a second meeting with the big and talented Oregon-Davis Bobcats on Saturday night. Just what effect the weather related problems might have had is not known. Orginally scheduled for Thursday night, those games were postponed until Friday, and then again Friday moved back to Saturday morning and early afternoon. It did have one advantage for the Lancers, giving senior center and leading scorer, Dave Herbster, more time to recuperate from a badly sprained ankle as he was still on crutches Wednesday. However, the lone returning starter from last year’s team was used sparingly early in the game after not starting, but did see more action in the second half and led the Lancers in scoring with 18, using his 6’2” husky frame well on the inside. LaVille opened the scoring as Steve Balka got a rebound lay-in and was fouled about a minute into the game. He missed the free

throw and Sam Borton was on the front end of a fast break that gave the Falcons a lay-in and 2-2 tie. Another rebound lay-m, this one by Kerry Palmer, made it 4-2 but a half minute later Brian Groves hit a short jumper to knot it at 4. That was it for Glenn as far as being even with the Lancers for the rest of the game. Dave Sauer was fouled m the act of shooting at the 5:05 mark and drilled both free throws. Bob Kowatch followed this with a lay-in off their offensive pattern and the lead was LaVille’s for good. Getting the two last baskets of the first quarter in the final 39 seconds, LaVille assumed an 18-10 lead after one period. Glenn had tried to pressure the Lancers some all over the court, but after a couple of early miscues including one five second call, this didn’t have much effect and only opened an occasional advantage while moving the ball down the floor giving LaVille more of their close-in shots. The second quarter found the two teams playing about even, with Roger Spier being the only consistent offensive player for the Falcons. He scored four baskets for half of Glenn's 16 points, including their last three, two coming in the final 21 seconds to keep the lead at only nine by halftime, 35-26. Herbster, who came in very late in the first quarter, had made his presence felt on his two terms of duty in this first half, getting seven points by halftime and the Lancers had excellent balance in their first half scoring as Balka and Sauer also had seven and Kowatch had totaled eight for 29 of their 35 points. The second half was somewhat different. The third quarter was very poorly played by both teams and scoring was almost at a standstill. Glenn managed only two baskets in this eight minutes, both by Spier, giving him 15 of Glenn’s 30 points in the first three quarters. He opened the second half with a short turn around jumper just eight seconds into the action. Then neither team scored for well over three minutes before Balka finally tallied on a 14 footer from the side. At the 4:11 mark. Spier hit again from inside, but this was to be Glenn's last points of the quarter and their last basket until only 6:37 remained in the game. Meanwhile, the Lancers were also having trouble putting the ball in the hoop as Herbster got their second basket with 3:42 left and after one of two free throws by Ted Nine with 2:21 showing on the clock, Herbster hit their third basket with just under a minute and a half left. A nice 14 foot jumper from the lane by Sauer just beating the buzzer made it 44-30 LaVille after three periods, certainly not a well played quarter and the stretch that took Glenn out of the game for good. The Falcons got the first four points of the last stanza, one of two from the line by Spier and then a three-point play by Steve Runyan on a rebound lay-in and foul that cut the lead to 44-34 with 6:37 left. However, LaVille then moved the entire length of the floor in just seconds for a lay-in by Herbster on which he was fouled and he converted the third point. From this time on, the Falcons never were closer than 11 as they got two baskets in a very short time sandwiched around another Herbster lay-in, but went from the 5:50 mark clear down to 2:55 before Brian Groves got another basket. In this almost three minute dry spell. LaVille tallied eight points, open ing up a 19 point spread 57-38. The Lancers then went into a good four corner offense that basically killed off the rest of the clock, missing one lay-in along the way that allowed Glenn one of their two baskets in the final minute. The final score was 59 44 Herbster led all scorers with 18 points on six baskets and six out of eight from the free throw line. The balance of LaVille helped as Balka had 11. Kowatch 10 and Sauer nine. For Glenn, Spier was the only consistent scorer, ending

with 16. getting only one point in the final stanza. Probably the most impressive performances by other Falcons was the hard effort inside put in by sophomores Runyan and Bob Porter, who did battle hard underneath, but need more experience at this point in their careers.

RICHARD MILLER Senate Joint Resolution 1. one of the most highly-publicized proposals before this year's Legislature, began its tnp through the legislative process this week when it gained the approval of the Senate Finance Committee. The resolution represents the second phase of a three-stop process to remove the constitutional prohibition against lotteries in our state. Whether you agree or disagree with efforts to change the constitution, citizens interested in the lottery issue will want to follow the progress of the resolution during this pivotal year. Legislators approved lottery-enabling legislation in 1986 and, if SJR 1 is successful this year, the question of whether to change the constitution to remove the ban on lotteries will be placed before voters in 1988. Passage of SJR 1 and endorsement by a majority of the voters in Indiana would not establish or legalize gambling in our state. Indiana lawmakers would still have to enact legislation to allow lotteries and other various forms of gambling. The Senate Judiciary Committee endorsed a bill this week which will lenghthen the term of license suspension for causing death of serious injury while driving under the influence of alcohol (DWI) from two to five years and allow a court to order a driver license suspended if a person is convicted of reckless homicide. The measure closes a loophole in Indiana law which is currently preventing a judge from suspending the license of a person convicted of reckless homicide. If enacted into law, SB 246 would enable a court to order the Bureau

of Motor Vehicles (BVM) to suspend a convicted person's drivers license for two to five years and implement a system of notification. Current law allows the BVM to suspend a license but provides no mechanism between the courts and the BMV for notification of conviction. Several attempts to provide increased medical services to citizens statewide have also been approved by legislative committees. Senate Bill 233 attempts to encourage doctors, nurses and other medical practitioners to practice in areas currently under-served by the medical community by offering economic incentives. The measure seeks to replace a currently-oper-ating loan fund with a fund which would provide grants to medical and nursing students who agree to provide services to citizens in shortage areas. Legislation designed to provide relief and assistance to Alzheimers disease victims and their families through the creation of training programs for persons who care for Alzheimers victims, a grant program to help provide disease-re-lated services, and a task force to coordinate and direct the related activities and programs of the Indiana Department of Aging and Community Services also gained committee endorsement. The disease. a gradual deterioration of the brain cells, most commonly affects older people. This bill is intended to address the needs of these individuals while experts attempt to learn more about the cause and develop a cure for Alzheimers disease. These and many other proposals which have gained committee approval this week will now be considered by the full Senate.
