Pearl says his team knows they lack the height that most of the county teams have, but he also says they are going to make up for the loss with speed

and style of play.

The Hawks play six of their first eight games at home, an advantage which could get them off on the winning edge.

Tigers Must Win Saturday s Game With State To Elude ICC Cellar

Geiberger, tenth on the pro circuit money making parade this year, covered the tricky Waialae Country Club Course Thursday in a four-under par 68 and preserved his nickname of “the human one iron." Only eight pros broke par on the course, which stretches 7,000 yards along the Pacific Ocean near Diamond Head on

Oahu.

Rex Baxter and Frank Beard were close behind Geiberger with three-under 69s, while Tollmen George Archer and A1 Besselink, Ray Floyd, Tom Neiporte and Bob Rosburg all pulled in with 71. Bill Casper, ranked the favorite by pre-tournament oddsmakers, had double trouble with his putter and managed only a 76. He took 37 putts on the 18-hole tour. However, Casper, unlike most of the other pros, seemed to have little trouble with the narrow fairways and the sometimes stiff tradewinds that blow in from the Pacific, just a ball's throw away from most of teh holes.

Bellamy Beats Former Team By United Press International The Baltimore Bullets may regret that they traded Walt Bellamy to the New York Knickerbockers earlier this week. Bellamy sank a free throw with 17 seconds remaining to give New York a 108-107 victory over his former teammates Thursday night in a National Basketball Association double- j header at Madison Square Gar-

den.

Dick Barnett was high scorer for the Knicks with 33 points while Don Ohl scored 23 for Baltimore. The San Francisco Warriors gained a first-place tie with Los Angeles by beating Philadelphia 121-119, but the 76ers protested the game. Philadelphia Coach Dolph Schayes claimed the referee failed to given the 76ers an extra free throw after San Francisco committed its sixth team foul. San Francisco rookie McCoy McLemore hit on a field goal with four seconds left to win the game, but Nate Thurmond led the Warriors with 30 points. |

By Frank Puckett, Jr. Sports Editor “Hoosier Hysteria’’ as it Is called by hundreds of rabid basketball fans in Indiana, has already made its debut in Putnam County, but it doesn't get into full swing until tonight. Cloverdale has already shown their poise by downing host Eminence last Tuesday night 9257. They will hit the road once more this week when they travel to Van Buren for what should be a real barn-burner. The Clovers hosted the Blue Devils last year on the Reelsville court and lost. 74-70, even though they out-tallied their larger opponents in just about every category. This year the hot little team is back with the same I men, but with little more desire and fight (if that's poss-

ible).

Russellville will host Linden on the home court after taking it on the chin from Waveland, 67-57. last Tuesday evening. The Bees are still the same small team that coach Jim Sheese coached last year, but guard Ronnie Richardson, who averaged 23 points per game last year, will be back and fighting for the north Putnam hustlers. The only two other games scheduled for this week are Reelsville. who will vie with county rival Roachdale in the Hawk gymnasium, and Bainbridge, who will host Rosedale. These are both season openers for the three county teams. The remainder of the county teams will kick off next week when rallying Greeneastle Tiger Cubs will host Attica in their season opener and what we call the game of the week, the Fillmore Cardinals will vie with Cloverdale Clovers. The Cards will hold the contest on their own court because the Clover’s court won’t be ready. For your convenience we have published all the county b-ball schedules we could get hold of. They seem rather hard to obtain this year.

Undisputed last place, a spot it has carefully avoided since 1960, is staring the DcPauw University football Tigers in the face this weekend. They must whip Saturday’s Dads’ Day opponent, Indiana State, to elude sole possession of the ICC's basement. If they get the job done, they’ll share one of the league's lower rungs with the Sycamores, the loser of the Evansville-Valparaiso game, and possibly St. Joseph’s. Kickoff time for the twentysecond renewal of the ISU series is 2 p.m. in Blackstock Stadium, where 5,500 are ex-

Red Wings Take One From Bruins By United Press International The Detroit Red Wings served notice today that they’re ready to begin earnest defense of their National Hockey League Championship. The notice was in the form of an 8-1 Thursday night victory over the Boston Bruins in which the Rew Wings peppered rookie Bernie Parent with 36 shots and threw up an ironclad defense in front of goalie Roger Crozier. It was the first strong showing of the season by the Red Wings, who had scored only 10 goals in compiling a 1-3-1 record in their previous five games.

CHICAGO UPI — The Chicago White Sox began a widespread search today for a successor to A1 Lopez, who quit his $65,000 a year job as manager Thursday after winning one pennant and finishing cesond five times in nine years directing the club. There w-as no indication from either club ow-ner Arthur C. Allyn or Executive Vice President and General Manager Ed Short who might be considered

for the job.

However, the names of Mayo Smith, mw a scout for the New York Yankees; Charlie Metro, on the Sox staff, and Bob Kennedy, former Chicago Cubs head coach, were among the

early suggestions.

“We have about 20 men under consideration,” Short said, “and we’ll consider that many more. We would like to make our selection before the majorminor league meetings begin Nov. 29, but we don’t have to.
