Illinois Wesleyan Downs “Cold'' First Half Tigers

A sputtering offense and cold first half shooting were among the self-inflicted damages the DePauw Tigers suffered Saturday night in losing at Illinois Wesleyan, 69-61. The up and down game was the finale of a two-day road trip that included a frustrating 81-80 loss at Wheaton College the night before. In many respects the two games were similar. The Tigers were left in the starting gate, 18-6, at Wheaton and spent the rest of the hectic evening i catching up though plagued by icy shooting and heavy fouling that a pressing defense generally produces. Yet, the uproarious defensive work of Tiger sophomore guards Dan Schermer, who finished with 21 points, Jack Hogan and Denny Barrett had the 2100 spectators on their feet the entire last three minutes when DePauw had three chances to break out of a 78-79 deficit. Wesleyan also bolted out ahead Saturday night, running up a 10-1 edge before coach Elmer McCall got the brakes applied. Reserve center Dick Weber finally hit a three-foot jump shot that tied the count 26-26. The reading at 5:58 was the only time DePauw had a tie the w r hole weekend. It never led in either game though it never was out of contest. After Weber got his bucket with 5:58 left in the first half, the Tigers hit one of their disasterous cold spells. When Stan Bahler finally added the next goal 2:12 remained and Wesleyan had raced the count to 3326. The Titans jacked the score up to 50-35 in the first five and one-half minutes of the second half that included a technical foul on McCall for protesting a tardy foul call on a Wesleyan player riding Hogan’s back on an unsuccessful fast break. Hogan, who started the game in place of Skip Collins, shook loose moments later and hit a 30-footer and Dean Rush and Wesleyan’s Jim Shouba traded two for one. Stan Bahler picked up the scoring tempo next for DePauw which showed a penchant all weekend of digging itself into a hole then vigorously working its way out— almost. The Wabash Senior ticked off two baskets and a pair of free throws in 62 seconds to cut the count to 51-45. The drive went dry, however, seconds later.

A pair of Tiger backcourt errors handed the Titans two straight baskets so McCall changed his personnel by 60%. Jeff McMurtey finally got a | free throw and Dick Putt added two more. But Wesleyan ; was adding three field goals during the same time for a ; 61-50 advantage. After seven minutes and 22 seconds without a basket, DePauw came roaring back for ; one last desperate crack. Rush and Wesleyan’s Don Davidson traded two pointers then Rush ; added a three-point play and ! Hogan hit two free throws. Pressing furiously for the second straight night, Hogan j knocked the ball loose from a | Wesleyan guard and Bahler ; went in for a layuyp. The Tigers trailed, 63-57, with 2:21 j to play. A basket and two free throws j with 84 seconds left put Wes- | leyan back into a 10-point lead. ' Weber and Kendall Smith exchanged baskets in the final minute and DePauw’s Barrett, who relieved the tiring Hogan with 71 seconds left, hit a 35 ; footer for the final count at the j gam. Depauw outrebounded Wesleyan, 46-41, committed fewer 1 fouls, 13-15, but was outshot i .365 to .388. DePauw hit only .296 in the first half when it trailed 38-29. Wednesday night in Bowman Gymnasium the Tigers, now, 1-2, host Wabash College in both varsity and freshman combat. Tip off time for the freshman game is 6 p. m.

Saturday was the last day of deer season and among the hundreds of hunters still roaming the fields, John Martin, R. 1, Greencastle, shot his deer during the early morning hours. Mr. Martin said he shot the eight point, 250-pound buck at 100 yards. He got the deer, he said, in Owen County.

Pointers Rally To Beat Bees Bainbridge had to come from behind in the second half to defeat Russellville, 83 to 76, Saturday night in the Pointers’ gynasium. The visiting Bees led 23 to 18 at the end of the first quarter and 44 to 30 at the rest intermisson. The Pointers were still behind, 59 to 55, at the three quarter post. Bainbridge rallied to pour in 28 points during the last period while holding Russellville to 17 and it was a pointer victory. 83 to 76. Rossock and Judy paced the winners with 24 and 18 points respectively. McGaughey, R. Richardson, Sinnet and J. Boiler were the big guns in the Russellville of- ; fensive. Summaries are as follows:

What kind of a tiger do you want under your hood? (Have you priced a tiger lately?) If you’re handy with a whip and chair, go for the 360-hp GTO. It bites. But then, even the 335-hp GTO bites. If you Quick Wide-Track Tigers wanta slightly morecivilized package(but with lots of the GTO muscle),try the Le Mans. You can get it with a six or n i 0 o pyn either of two V-8s. They all have bucket seats. Carpeting. And cost less than some tame cats. So go price a tiger. rOniiaC L6 IfldllS & b IU SEE THE NEW BONNEVILLE, STAR CHIEF, GRAND PRIX, CATALINA, LEMANS, GTO AND TEMPEST AT YOUR AUTHORIZED PONTIAC DEALER.
