CLOVERDALE JOINS "SWEET SIXTEEN Captures Covington Regional Tourney

The rallying Cloverdale Clovers popped into the Indiana High School basketball’s ‘‘Sweet Sixteen” column with the grace and poise of a real championship team by downing Crawfordsville’s Athenians and North Vermillion's Falcons last Saturday in the Covington Regional Tournament. In the first encounter of the fiery tournament the Clovers dominately downed the Crawfordsville Athenians 81-60. After grabbing a comfortable first quarter lead on the surprised ‘ Athenian squad the Clovers ‘ burst into one of their quick scoring sprees only to be cut short by the Crawfordsville counter attack. With 5:22 remaining in the third period of action Crawfordsville’s big man, Don Wilson, who had been popping into the game at intervals with foul trouble tried to pace the Athenian team in their last chance rally. Wilson succeed in dropping through the nets two quick field goals and three free throws but the hustling Clover offensive came back with seven decisive field goals to secure their position for the remainder of the game.

After Cloverdale’s victory over Crawfordsville, North Vermillion made their bid for final regional berth by edging out Williamsport, 87-83 in an overtime of the second game.

Typical of the Clovers hustling offensive the Putnam County Champions blasted the nets over the towering arms of the larger North Vermillion squad to grab a 14-7 lead in the first five minutes of the final game. Falcon forward Edwards, who experienced difficulty hitting the bucket during the first game of the tournament, began to find the range as his team looked a little thin on the scoreboard. Edwards popped in three badly needed field goals that, with the help of Delp's shooting, put the Falcons within four of the Clover cause, 19-15. Four seconds befort the final buzzer of the first period Cloverdale’s “top cat” guard. Rod Hervey grabb*ed off a defensive rebound, looked at the clock that read four seconds and let go for a sixty-five footer that was good for two! A hobbled first period closed with the Clovers in command by six, 21-15. As the second period of action got underway the Clovers began to feel the height advantage of the taller North Vermillion team. The Falcons took command of the boards and ran up the score cutting the Clover margin to one, 32-31. With 2:27 showing on the clock in the second period Clover Sandy fouled Falcon Thomas who tied the game up at 32-32. After matching buckets for the remainder of the quarter the close of the half caught both teams at a halt, 39-39. The Vermillion County Conaolidation jumped into the lead after the start of a hot third period of action, 60-58. Trailing 65-62 after two minutes of play the Cloverdale squad began to make their final bid for Regional honors. The Clovers poured through the nets a total of 12 points while the Falcon squad contributed only four. Sandy led the charge for the Putnam County team by breaking loose on a lay-up to better the Clovers victory bid. Cloverdale s fantastic ability to increase the pressure in the last minutes of the ball game paid off in the fourth quarter. The Vermillion Consolidation jumped into a slight lead and faultered as the Clovers hit a tremendous 11 of 12 field goals and eliminated two of the Falcons on personals. With the big guns out of action North Vermillion could do nothing as the Clovers racked up point cn point. Hervey and Sandy put the game on ice with two stolen balls and subsequent layups. Sandy and Hervey led the Clover scoring with 29 and 23 respectively. FIRST GAME: Cloverdale (81) FG FT PF

Not Willing To Shore With Anyone By United Press International The Chicago Black Hawks aren’t willing to share the National Hockey League lead with any team, and now they don't

have to.

The Hawks, who had shared the lead with Montreal, thrashed the Canadiens 7-0 in record-break’ng fashion Sunday night to take over sole possession of first place. Eric Nesterenko has been called a penalty killer, but he proved to be mo’*e than that Sunday night as he scored two goals while the Black Hawks

were shorthanded to give Chicago a new record. Chicago now has 14 shorthanded goals this season, topping by one a record set by Boston nine years ago and tied once by the Bruins since then.

Wall Continues His Red Hot Shooting MARACAIBO, Venezuela UPI— Art Wall is practically assured of successfully defending his Caribbean golf tour championship with only one tournament remaining. Wall continued with a five-under-par 67 to w’in the Maracaibo Open with a 271 total for rounds.

“Hahahahaha! Stop it guys, it tickles! Hahahahaha!” Stallcop and Jones aren’t exactly tickling the Craw'fordsville player. But they are confusing him. As a matter of fact they confused the whole Crawfordsville team and beat them.

Morgan Everson’s 38 points helped D e P a u w University wrap up Ball State, 86-82, Saturday and enabled the winners to crawl into a four-way tie for third in the topsy-turvy Indiana Collegiate Conference at 5-7. The 6-2 Indianapolis junior hadn’t even been born when the record he nearly broke was established. Don Jones hit 43 against Earlham in the 194243 season to author the onegame record for DePauw. As it was, Everson, with a year yet to play, produced the most explosive performance by a Tiger basketballer in 23 years. It was a career high for the left hander who hit 14 of 28 and finished the season with 426 points for a 19.4 average. Seventeen points in the first half and 21 in the second, when he hit eight of 11 shots, accounted for Everson's 38 points, 28 on fielders and 10 of 12 free throws. Three more Tigers got into double figures as the squad finished with a 10-12 record and & three-game winning streak. Jack Hogan had 12, Stan Bahler 16 and Dan Schermer 10. Dick Putt hit six befour fouling out with 6:08 to play and Dick Weber converted four of six free throws. Dan Schermer, 5-9 sophomore guard, turned in the defensive gem of the tilt. H i s isolation of Cardinal guard Stan Neal probably had as much to do with the win as Everson's stunning show. Neal, a half foot taller than Schermer, entered the game with a 21.3 average. Schermer, with a well rehearsed cast behind him, held Neal to six points, all in the first half. One of Neal’s two baskets out of eight attempts was a tip-in, the other an 18-footer Schermer was one of three DePauw players grabbing nine rebounds. Bahler and Putt were the other two. Everson was tops for the winners with 10. DePauw finisshed with 55. Ball State had 50, including 14 by Dan Howe who also was high scorer for the Cards with 22. DePauw jumped out ahead immediately in the turbulent game and twice ran up margins of 20-13 and 22-15. The first of reserve Doug Reid’s three straight baskets gave State its first edge, 34-33, with 3:58 left in the half. DePauw knotted it at 34-36 and 40, but Reid’s free throws and Dave Hi th’s basket helped move State ahead at intermission, 45-42. Three minutes inside the second half Schermer miraculously blocked Neal’s lone second half shot. Hogan grabbed the loose ball while Schermer was sprinting down court for his pass and a fast break. That tied it 49-49. Schermer hit again on another fast breaker 32 seconds later as DePauw regained the upper hand. Howe tied it again but Everson pumped in a pair of 15footers for a 55-52 advantage and Ball State called time out with 15:48 left. When play resumed Howe scored on Schermer’s foul, but Bahler and Everson chipped in three free throws to give DePauw a 5852 lead. When the Tigers went dead for the next 2:01 State ripped off nine straight points and ran the score to 61-58. Everson’s foul shot and Hogan’s fast break play finally broke the drought and tied the score 61-all at 12:05. State was still ahead 69-65 at 8:50 when the eventual winners made their last run. Bahler hit from down under, Everson whistled in a 14-footer, then was fouled moments later on a two-on-one situation. He was given but one free throw but that was enough to push De-

Pauw ahead, 70-69, 6:43 remaining. Howe tied it at 6:08 when Putt fouled out, but Everson and Hogan sandwiched four points apiece around Dick Weber’s two free shots in the next 2:15 to balloon the lead to 80-70 with 2:02 to go. After Everson’s basket had made it 78-70, DePauw never got another field goal as the Cards started fouling to get the ball. The strategy moved the losers to within five at 85-80 with 34 seconds left. Jack Hogan was fouled twice after this. He hit one with 27 seconds left to move it t-t 86-80, but Lanich narrowed it to 86-82 two seconds later when Bahler fouled him. Hogan had another chance with eight seconds left. 11 missed but the Tigers nursed the four-point margin until the gun sounded. State outscored DePauw 3330 from the field, but the winners connected on 26 of 35 free throws, 10 of 12 in the first half and 16 of 23 in the final 20 minutes. State had 19 chances and made 16. The visitors outehot their hosts, .414 (3380) to .395 (30-76).

The prevous record obliterated Friday by Mutz was 2:14.4. Doug Waples picked off a second place for DePauw in the 200-yard butterfly behind Evansville’s record - setting Paul Jensen. Jensen won the event in 2:13.5; Waples came in next at 2:21.3. Others picking up points for

the Tigers who finished their season with a 3-5 dual reocrd were John Lusk, fifth in diving; Bob Wells, sixth in the 200yard backstroke; and Ron Pierce, sixth in the 200-yard breaststroke. DePauw’s 400-yard medley relay team came in third behind Evansville and Valparaiso.

Mutz Sets Two Pool Records First year varsity competitor Greg Mutz of DePauw University wrote two new Collegiate swimming records into the books Friday and Saturday in the league meet at Evansville. Team scoring in the swimming derby that produced nine new marks in 11 events included Evansville 103. Indiana State 76, Valparaiso 46, DePauw 31, and Ball State 22. Butler and St. Joseph's did not enter. A sophomore from Clayton, Mo., Mutz captured one of his blue ribbons in the 200-yard breaststroke in a time of 2:27.9. The existing record of 2:29.8 was set by Indiana State’s Karasick last year. Friday evening in the tme trials Mutz broke the ICC mark for the 200-yard individual medley. He was timed at 2:11.6, easily winning his qualification head. Mutz captured the main event 16-hours later in 2:13.5, almost two seconds off his record time.
