Tiger Cubs Dump Brazil;

T royer Scores 40 Points

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs fought off a high scoring thir-ty-five point effort by Brazil’s Dan Harris with the help of a fanas tic forty-point performance by Mike Troyer to chalk up victory number ten as they downed Brazil on the Red Devils' floor last night, 89-78.

Tiger Cub 5-11 guard Troyer set a new single game high scoring record for the Cubs last night as the hot-handed hustler banged an unofficial 16 of 28 field goals plus tossing 8 free throws in for the record. The flashy .571 shooting percentage gave him one point more than the previous record, tied last year by teammate Jim Chadd

when he tossed in 89 points in one night. Brazil’s 6-3 team captain Harris put the Cubs under with two quick buckets during the first sixty seconds of the contest. Troyer and Harmless managed a couple, but before the Cubs could get rolling the Red Devils held a four point lead, 8-4. Chadd then tossed one in to put the Cubs within two and Greencastle came alive with the “McCracken” press. Before the Devils could retaliate the Tiger Cubs had tossed in 19 points to claim a 25-18 first stop margin. Harris brought his team back to within three as the clock showed 5:47 in the second quarter, but a point spurt sparked by Greencastle’s Steve Jones set the Cubs up for a 49-37 half : time lead.

The closest the Brazil five could get to the Cubs was nine points, but they held onto that margin only five seconds in the third period. A freely substituted ball game characterized the game during the last quarter as the hot-handed Cubs racked in their tenth consecutive victory in a row. Troyer led all scorers with 40

while Chadd popped in 20 and Jones 10 points for the Cubs. Harris donated his 35 for Brazil while Buntwin and West added 10 and 11 points respectively. Friday night will catch the Cubs going for victory number 11 against one defeat when the Cascade Cadets will invade the home town gymnasium.

Tigers to Meet Ball St. Tonight

DePauw University puts its longest basketball winning streak in five years — four games—on the line tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Ball State University. The Tigers jump into their third ICC battle with back-to-back verdicts over Valparaiso, MIT, Union and Hope College. The effort has been unequalled since 1961 when they tripped Indiana Central, Ball State, Illinois Wesleyan and Wabash before stumbling themselves to UCLA. With a sophomore dominated team and a 7-5 overall record, Ball State enters the tilt 1-0 in the league after dropping St, Joseph’s in Muncie, 75-72, in overtime in mid-December. DePauw is 1-1 in the conference with an 80-77 upset win over Valparaiso and a 120-75 loss at Indiana State. Most of the Tigers’ newfound success has been due to sharper shooting, a workhorse defense, and the 150 per cent effort 6-6 sophomore Tom McGurk has been turning in at center.

ICC Basketball Teams Have Best Records In History

With its best pre-conference effort in history under its belt, the Indiana Collegiate Conference basketball schedule gets down to the serious business this week.

Six of the loop’s seven teams jump into the intramural skirmishing with above .500 records, the first time in 15 years so many have done so well so long.

Responsible for a 44-20 reading in non-ICC games, including 24 or 38% with major college teams, are Indiana State (9-0), Valparaiso (8-1), Evansville (7-3), DePauw (6-2), Ball State (6-5), Butler (5-5), and SL Joseph’s (3-4).

Last year against all nonconference foes the league was 32-22.

Among the major powers tumbled by ICC clubs during the 64-game pre-conference warmup have been Purdue (twice), Toledo (twice), Kent State, Marquette, Western Michigan, Southern California, Michigan, Oklahoma and Yale.

Major losses by the ICC clubs, who generally have found an ambitious pre-conference diet the only way to get ready

for the ICC, have been to Iowa, Ohio U., Bowling Green, Michigan, Miami, Indiana, Saint Bonaventure, Marquette, Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, Bradley and Purdue. Something, though, will have to give in the ICC where all seven teams bump into action this week after having achieved a 14-2 record since Christmas Day. In the last week of tuning up the conference’s teams ran off this Impressive list of accomplishments: Butler extended its mastery over major opposition by whipping Toledo and Yale; Evansville won its own holiday tournament by downing Marquette and Yale; DePauw sailed undefeated through Union College’s three-day, three-game meet to win the unofficial championship; Indiana State plastered four Canadian teams in four nights; Valparaiso encored from a record-setting 114-96 win over Purdue by beating Washington U. on the road; and Ball State went 2-1 in taking third place at St. Cloud State’s holiday meet. St. Joseph’s was idle. Not only should Evansville’s domination be more severely tested this trip than any time in the past three years, but 1965-66 could well produce a point explosion unlike anything seen in the ICC. Indiana State’s 103.09 offensive average, 69.36 defensive average and 33.73 winning margin captured pre-conference team statistical honors, but Valparaiso was close behind in scoring (98.6) including six times above 100. The Sycamores have been above the century mark eight times in 11 outings. Butler, despite playing 10 of its 11 games against major opposition, turned in the ICC’s second best defensive mark with 73.91. In games earlier this week St. Joseph’s played at Butler Jan. 3 and Valpo had a non-confer-ence date at Wheaton the same night. Wednesday (Jan. 5), the first evening of ICC firing sends DePauw to Ball State; Butler to Evansville; and Valparaiso to Indiana State. St. Joe plays at •ufcridar Wabash.

The Deer Creek Archers of Cloverdale held their first Indoor tournament of the year last Sunday. Thirty shooters competed in the new ‘Freeman’ round. Silver serving trays were given to the first place winners. Ribbons went to the second and third places in each class. First place winners were as follows:

Entry Blanks Mailed For 1966 Indy 500

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Entry blanks for the 50th annual 500mile Speedway auto race were placed in the mail today amid indications the field will be virtually monopolized by rearengine machines. Speculation was that more than half of the 17 four-cylinder roadsters among the 68 entries last year will not return. But the supercharged front-engine Novis of Andy Granatelli were expected to make another try at auto racing’s biggest jackpot. Close to 70 entries were anticipated by the April 15 deadline. Practice is scheduled to open April 30, one day earlier than usual, and time trials will open May 14. Most of the rear-engine cars will be powered by Ford V-8’s or Offenhausers. Engine specifications for this year were broadened to include single, nonoverhead camshaft units of American stock production design up to a piston displacement of 305 cubic inches. Officials expected six or eight cars with such engines to be en-

tered.

Veteran drivers predicted that speeds in excess of 155 miles per hour will be necessary to make the 33-car starting field and that the one and four-lap qualification records of 161.958 and 161.233 by ▲. J. Foyt will 'be shattered.

ARDW00D IGHLIGHTS

By Frank Puckett Jr., Sports Editor

A turn of events has cost our local Sectional site two old teams and shifted three new teams in on our drawings. Cloverdale, Putnam County’s number one rated team, and ReelsvUle will join the ranks at Brazil while Parke County representative Rockville and Hendricks County representatives Cascade and North Salem wUl Intrude in the Greencastle Sectional. Greencastle will be one of forty-nine sites that will carry eight prep teams going with Fillmore, Greencastle, Rockville, Bainbridge, Salem, Roachdale, and Russellville.

Cascade, North

Although some comment has caught It that the Clovers will maybe get an easier ride of it since they were redistricted, I think there are arguments both ways. It is true that the Clovers probably won’t get to meet up with the Greencastle Tiger Cubs in Sectional competition as some people might have wished, but there is a chance they might not have made it against the Cubs anyway ... IF the Clovers succeed in getting past the Brazil Sectional they will run ‘smack dab’ into the arms of the tough Terre Haute competition . . . whatever the outcome the Clovers are a tough team and I’m sure county hopes go with them and REELSYILLE ... by the way, don’t count the hustling Indians out of anything . . . Coach Charles McClure has a real determined bunch of boys who have dropped only two games all year long . . . they just might surprise someone. • * •

Yep, it’s true. Greencastle did lose her Regional rights this year, but only for a logical reason. As usual, Greencastle expected to rotate with Covington as a Regional site. An application for the site was sent to the ; IHgAA according to requirements. But, because of the revamp- : ing of the Sectional sites Kentland was forced to dump her Sectional winner into our Regional. Thus, Covington was considpred by the 1HSAA as the most eentrally located spot. It’s all very logical and sensible, but still disappointing te local fans as well as local sports WRITERS.

The Cubs frosh took It on the chin in the fight against the Pioneers. The score was 42-31, with the Cubs paced by Clary and Hecko with 10 and 8 respectively. The score summaries for both teams are as follows:

In case you’re Interested ... It seems that Coach Jim Millet was misrepresented by one of the Indianapolis newspapers as being very happy to get out of the local Sectional. Comment from Cloverdale has It Miller is neither jumping with joy nor downcast from the news. And in a phone call to the mentor I got this reply. “Frank, I’m like the rest of the people in Indiana, I can’t say I’m happy until my boys have won. Of course it docs make a big difference to me since I have scouted the local teams and had my schedule of plans ready. Now I will have to change plans and scout the teams I might have to encounter.” ReelsvUle mentor Charles McClure who has coached his Indians to a mighty respectible 7-2 season had “no comment” on the situation. As far as he was concerned it was basketball and It just didn’t make that much difference. Whatever the comment or however things go we know that Putnam County wUl be backing the two teams all the way.

The all mighty OUUA board struck it rich last night as all four predictions were absolutely correct. Roachdale grabbed their fourth victory of the year by beating host Wavcalnd, Greencastle made it number 10 in a row by downing Brazil, and Cloverdale protected their undefeated season with a win over Staunton and Russellville beat Cory.
