COME TO PAPA

Aces Headed For ICC Crown;

Humes, Wade Are Top Scorers

The title race is almost over in one respect in the Indiana Collegiate Conference, but it’s just beginning to boll as far as Evansville's Larry Humes and and Indiana State's Butch Wade are concerned. Humes and his mate need only to to dispose of St. Joseph s Wednesday night to hand

best average, 28.7 set in 1959i Humes currently rides at 32.75 and Wade has 31.12. In a week that had everyone ! in the loop losing at least once, except Evansville which won two and Ball State which didn’t play, the individual statistical leaders held on to their honors save Wade who dropped as re-

ahead of Indiana State and DePauw in the standings, held on easily to its best suits—shooting, scoring and rebounding. The Aces maintained themselves as statistical kingpin with 99.2 points per game, a phenomenal .524 shooting average and a wide 55.3 reboui.d per game edge.

Coach Arad McCutchan an unprecedented third straight unshared league championship. What the current fuss is all about is Wade's sudden projection of himself into the individual scoring race. The Columbus sophomore has vaulted to within 13 points (262-249) of Humes and each has four more games to settle the steaming issue. Regardless who wins it appears certain a flock of new individual records will go into the ICCs books. Both are ahead of Bob Williams’ (St. Joe, 1959-60) scoring pace that produced 323 points in 12 games, and both seem equally certain of beating Ed Smallwood’s mark for the

bound leader, Evansville’s Jerry Sloan jumped to the front as the league’s supreme rebounder with a 11.9 average as Wade slipped to fourth. Mike Chapman of Butler upped his lead as top free throw shooter with a .906 average. But Wade was on the scene again establishing a new consecutive free throw mark with 28. It eclipsed the 26 Ball State’s Stan Neal hit last year. DePauw’s Stan Bahler held on to his grasp as the most accurate shooter with a .653 (49 of 75) mark, but Valpo’s Steve Cook (.638) and Larry Yeagley of St. Joe (.616) closed to second and third. Evansville, now four games

Valparaiso, which split tw r o games at home, remains the league's best defensive team (74.6), Butler is on top with a record breaking .779 team free throw reading and DePauw replaced Indiana State in fewest fouls committed (15.5). While Evansville is attempting to wrap a share of the ICC crown up in Roberts Stadium Wednesday with St. Joe, Valpo will try to duplicate Saturday’s win over Butler in Indianapolis, and Ball State hopes to pull even with DePauw at 3-4 in Muncie. Saturday night Butler goes to Evansville, Valparaiso visits DePauw, and Ball State hosts Indiana State.

IN THE LIMELIGHT by Banner Sports Reporter Frank Puckett, Jr.

During the past high school basketball season the Banner ha* had among its numerous sports articles a number of topic heads that read something like these, “Bright Paces Panthers’’ or “Belle Union Secures Victory; Bright Dumps in 35.” These lines of credit refer to a hustling Belle Union High School and a junior of that *chool named Wayne Bright who during the hardwood season has pumped in a total of 197 field goals and 115 free throws that give an approximate average of 12 field goals and 7 free throws, giving the agile star an approximate 31 point i*er game out-put. With these scoring totals Bright has accumulated a host of rebounds that along with quit# a few other summaries auch as a 57-point scoring performance last Saturday night that gave him the highest individual scoring performance in the state high school competition of the year plus a numerous array of local records that has brought him to lead his team to a boastful 11-4 season record. (Some speculation was m- de as to his performance being a top individual performanc# record, but after

talking to Belle Union mentor and basketball commissioner Phil Eskew it was found out that his performance was third following that of Snuetin Hert’s 1917 record tabuletion of 90 points! Oscar Robertson holds second position.) Six-foot eight-inch Bright is an above average student at Belle Union and remarks from his fellow class-mates label him as “a heck of a nice guy to know.” Wayne hasn't disclosed to the paper his definite plans for the future, but with a promising year as a senior coming up the big boy's future does indeed look bright. Because of their display of true sportsmanship conduct and never-tiring school spirit that is so characteristic of Belle Union students and fans in general this reporter would like to salute the school, possibly participating in their last seaaction while holding onto the name of Belle Union High School, under the direction of principal Connie Cress and the uncanny coaching of Darrell Hoyer for being a real credit to Putnam County Basketball and to high school basketball the state over.

Mr. Idzikowski framed us.

Mr. Idzikowski had a beef. He was unhappy about some service. So we gave him his money back. Why do we guarantee everything we sell and every service you get from a Marathon dealer? Because we have confidence in our products and our dealers. And because we want your business that much. When we say both Marathon Super-M premium and Mile-maker regular gasolines prevent fuel line freeze and stalls due to carburetor icing, we guarantee it. We also guarantee things like lube jobs and oil changes. Mr. Idzikowski was apparently so impressed with this that he framed our refund letter and hung it in his restaurant. He now suggests all his customers try us. Will you?

(Thank you for reading this message from Marathon.)
