BAINBRIDGE SWEEPS CO. TOURNEY

By RANK PUCKETT, JR. Ha—rr Sports Editor Hard-hitting and fast breaking Bainbridge baled the Clover rilht off a M-gamo winning

streak and forced defending county tourney champs Cloverdale to bow out with a 79-73 hardwood upset in the final game of the Putnam County Tournament last Saturday night.

Cloverdale got through two rounds of the tourney knocking off Russellville on Thursday night and Fillmore Saturday afternoon. Bainbridge had to rout Roachdale Saturday after-

noon for their championship bid. Cloverdale got off to a characteristic slow start and the Pointers didn’t wait around for the undefeateds to warm up. They grabbed a 6-8 lead at the

gun and fought off a Clover rally in the closing minutes of the quarter to claim a 17-13 first stop lead. The fast breaking Pointers jumped to a quick 22-13 early lead in the second quarter only

to have hot-shots Price and Jones come back with six consecutive points to make it 24-all at 3:29. Bainbridge lost the ball out-of-bounds on the next trip down the hardwood and hustler Hervey, who had a rough time rolling in the tourney, put the Clovers in the lead with a fivefoot hook shot, 26-24. It was nip and tuck for the next three minutes until Hervey and Sandy combined for a couple of quick ones that gave the Clovers a 36-29 dominate edge at half-time. Cloverdale connected on a surprising 17 of 36 from the field during the first half and on 2 of 6 free throws while Bainbridge hit on 13 of 34 tries from the field and 3 of 7 charity stripe attempts. Bainbridge used their fast breaking tactics to catch the Clovers as Steele pulled off a rebound and fired it full court to an awaiting Judy who tipped it up and put the Pointers in command once more 38-37. Sandy came back with a fifteen footer for the Clovers, but Stallcop was caught for shoving McFarland on the play. McFarland dumped in a free throw and it stood 39-all at 4:51. John Price, who had guided the Clovers all through the tourney, rambled in a high flying jumper to give his team a two point lead 41-39 and the Clovers went into a pressing defensive. But the Pointers took advantage of the defensive and came back to take the lead as Pointer McFarland made good a 3-point effort in the closing seconds. The Pointers held the leading margin of two at the quarter end, 56-54. Cloverdale started off on the wrong foot as the fourth and final period began by throwing

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The mortality rate had caught up today with all but four Indiana high school basketball teams heading into the final month of the regular season. Brookville, which clouted Knightstown Saturday night, 71-40, for its 15th victory, heads the perfect-record list. Montpelier and Whiteland are 14-game winners and Garrett has won 13 in a row. Montpelier laced Lancaster Central, 104-77, in its latest effort, Larry Holloway hooping 40 points and Gerald Bolling adding 31. But Cloverdale’s 14-game string ran out against Bainbridge in the final game of the Putnam County tourney, 78-73. Fourth-rated New Albany was the only other first-time loser last week, getting caught by upset-minded Evansville Reitz. State champ Indianapolis Washington, No. 2 in last week’s UPI coaches’ board' ratings, was the only “Big 10” loser Saturday night, bowing to Howe, 78-72, in the finals of the city tourney. That clipped a 12game winning streak for the Continentals, who had lost previously only to top-rated South Bend Central, which romped over Penn, 95-57. South Bend’s Bears and Anderson, No. 3 in the state, collide in Saturday's inter sectional headliner. Both have lost only twice and Anderson trimmed neighbor Madison Heights Saturday, 75-66, for its ninth consecutive win. Anderson’s defending champs also have a North Central Conference date at Kokomo Friday while the South Benders play Bowler Fires 300 LANSING, Mich. UPI—Don Johnson, Kokomo,. Ind., rolled the 17th perfect 300-game in Silver Anniversary All - Star Bowling tourney history Wednesday, but it wasn’t enough to get him into the top eight places. Johnson’s perfect score was only the second 300 rolled on the opening day of action in the tourney, but it came in a 1,033 series, leaving him far down in the standings. Veteran Bob Strampe of Detroit set a torrid opening round pace with a 1,221 total, far ahead of Bill Allen, Orlando, Fla* in second place with 1,144.
