' • Prep basketball will catch all the county teams battling it out except for Cloverdale, on Friday night and Greencastle and ReelsviUe hitting the hardwood again Saturday night . Cloverdale, who hit paydirt once again last Tuesday, sent Montgomery County Champs $few Market home with one of the wont beatings they have suffered in yean. The Cloven met defeat for the first time this year at the hands of Pat Rady and his hustling Bainbridge

Pointers in the final of the county tourney. The loss left them with a hearty 14-1 record but the New Market victory left them

holding a mighty respective 15-1.

Miller and gang will not hit the hardwood again until Feb-

ruary 4 when they travel to Russellville.

' Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs, who host a sparkling 12-2 record, bent over to Garfield’s Purple Eagles last week to lose their undefeated stand in the Western Indiana Conference. The Garfield erew sprung a basket barrage on the Cubs and hit .510 from the held plus a fantastic 25 for 30 free throws. f Leading the Western Conference with only one loss in the loop, Terre Haute representative Wiley will travel to the Tiger Cub stomping grounds tomorrow night where they will try to pivenge their sole loss to Gerstmeyer. Gerstmeyer, who was rated number four in the conference behind Greencastle, upset the mighty Wiley crew on their own floor last week. & The Cubs will probably be without the able assistance of 6-1 forward Jim Chadd in the scheduled tilt. Chadd, who is the second leading scorer on the team, turned his knee in practice last Week. The report is that the injury is not serious, but it is doubtful whether the hot-handed forward will see action against Wiley. The Cubs will take on the Danville Warriors Saturday night.

r ? Bainbridge, Putnam County’s new Champs, will make their |id for victory when the high scoring brigade host ReelsviUe on the Pointer floor tomorrow night t f The Pointers, who recently upended undefeated Cloverdale In the county tourney final, are heavily favorite winners of the tilt but Charlie McClure’s Indians are known as << up-setters M in the game of basketball. (They traveled to Terre Haute in the early part of the season and knocked off tough Gerstmeyer 48-42 at the surprise of everyone—including one stumped sports writer.) The Pointers, led by 6-4 Larry Steele, who still hits a per game average of around 26 points per game are listed as the toughest team in the Montgomery and north-Putnam area for their high-scoring and victorious antics. The crew displays a real desire to play the hardwood sport by making it a team effort at every outing. t t ReelsviUe has hit a down fall since the beating the Fillmore Cardinals handed them in their first tilt of the year. Since that fclefeat the rugged Indians have failed to get off the ground and ^iave lost three games in a row. Big 6-7 Joe Williams will spearhead the Indian attack against the Pointers and my guess is McClure will try to play a strategic ball game and hold the Pointers down to a low scnring game—if that’s possible. r ReelsviUe will hit the hardwood Saturday night also as they host Waveland at home. * » • • • s ’ Fillmore’s Cardinals will be seeking a victory from the local Sectional’s new entries when they will clash with North Salem on the Hendricks County floor. i The Cards have bowed out only to Cloverdale this season, but that fact leaves them with three defeats that puts a blemish on their 11-game wins. f ^ A host of talent lulls around the halls of FHS since the combination of Belle Union and Fillmore’s best has formed together, kut the hustling big boys just haven’t found that certain click |hey need. \ • • • i Roachdale’s tough little Hawks, under the direction of coach Wayne Pearl, will knock up against county rival Russellville for the second time in less than forty days. The two county teams carry the same season credentials of t-7 for the season, but the Hawks have the slight edge over Jim Sheese’s hustling Bees. Roachdale moved in and upset the Russellville team in a real hot contest just before Christmas on the Russellville floor. ? The Bees bowed out to tough Cloverdale in the first round of t^ie county tournament by a forty-point margin. Roachdale trimmed ReelsviUe with a close two-pointer in the first round the spine night and then fell to wayside Saturday to Bainbridge.

Roaring Tigers Lose by Two in Near Upset With Evansville, 93-95

Cincinnati After Mo. Valley Conference By United Prest International The Cincinnati Bearcats, who waited a year to avenge a loss to a college of 1,000 students, go after bigger game in the next month in quest of the Missouri Valley Conference and national championships. The 10th - ranked Bearcats whipped little St. Joseph’s of Indiana 71-66 Wednesday night tory. The Pumas puUed one of tory. The Pumans pulled one of the major college basketball upsets last season by nipping Cincinnati 61-59. The Bearcats, who haven’t won the Missouri Valley Conference title since 1962, are unbeaten in league action but now play nine straight MVC games, starting on the road against St. Louis Saturday. In other top games Wednesday night, Tom Hendrix and Ron Widby combined to give Tennessee a 65-54 victory over North Carolina State, Bill Helkie took up the scoring

slack for the injured Mike SilUman to pace Army to a 62-61 triumph over Rutgers and Miami of Ohio won its ninth straight with a 74-57 decision over Marshall. Temple’s tall front court trio of Jim Williams, Ken Morgan and Clarence Brookins combined for 66 points as the Owls whipped Lafayette 81-65, and Drake swept a two-game series by beating Iowa State 74-71 despite 30 points by the Cyclones’ Don Smith.

College basketbaU’s most startling upset narrowly sUpped from the grasp of DePauw last night. Evansville escaped the stunning reversal in the final seconds, putting the Tigers down, 95-93, before 1800 roaring customers in Bowman gymnasium. Despite putting a half dozen players in double figures, DePauw found no match nor any foolproof defense for Larry Humes’ 40-point effort and the 20-point assistance he got from guard Sam Watkins. Big guns for the losers, who trailed only 89-88 with 2:01 left, were Jack Hogan with 22, Morgan Everson 17, Stan Bahler 14, relief forward Jeff McMurtrey 14, Dan Schermer 16, and Tom McGurk 10. DePauw played its finest all around game of the season; had its first half shooting (.366) been as good as the final stanza (.539) the outcome most likely

would have been different. The McCallmen ended up hitting .452, well below Evansville’s .553. This was the difference. Furthermore, the Aces handled their hosts on the boards, 51-38. DePauw’s trump, in the face of superior rebounding and shooting, then was its heady defense and its plucky guards. Hogan and Schermer, though they have been even slicker in their larcenous tactics on other evenings, bugged the Aces enough to help them into 24 floor errors. The Tigers, all seven of them, simply made the breaks be a substitute for wobbly first half shooting and their undersized front line. Beyond what the two tiny guards did on defense, they managed to worm their way consistently into the Aces’ defensive nest. This got them good close shots—if they were lucky enough to see through the thrashing limbs above them—

DePauw’s Hogan, who makes the tall boys from Evansville bend to his 5-6 size demonstrates a little of his technique in last night’s action at Bowman gymnasium. Hogan is up against Evansville’s Williams in the above shot. He tossed in 22 points in the encounter. Banner Photo—Frank Puckett, Jr.

or nifty assists to Bahler and Everson who had more than their share of troubles with their shooting. Everson went eight of 22 and Bahler did even poorer, six of 20, .200 below average. DePauw’s game got a boost from Jeff McMurtrey who was bumped from the lineup at the last moment when McCall decided to gamble on Bahler’s mending foot. McMurtrey was considerably more than adequate. The Frankfort junior replaced Everson and Bahler on two occasions and fired up DePauw rallies both times. He scored six points in the last three minutes of the first half and picked up eight points in the final 11 minutes when DePauw had slipped behind, 70-

62.

When DePauw roared out of a 6-2 hole early in the struggle with seven straight points the tempo of the game seemed set. The two clubs, actually it was DePauw vs. Humes most of the first half, battled through seven deadlocks from 12-12 to 27-27 before Everson slipped loose from Humes to boost the Tigers ahead, 29-27. Nine seconds later Humes retaliated by twisting loose as only he can underneath. He scored and made Tom McGurk foul. The toss was good and Evansville, though no one knew it then, was ahead for good, 3029, with 5:29 left in the half. The Aces zoomed it to 45-38, their biggest first half bulge, a few minutes later while the Tigers suffered through a cold spell and a couple of off balance shots. It was back to 45-40 at halftime, Evansville, mainly on Humes’ 21 points and 20 of 38 team shooting. Evansville nursed its five point margin through the first dozen minutes of the last period. It was 77-72 at the 7:54 mark. Then Humes struck with an uncanny hooker and Don Johnson sneaked one in behind Hogan on a bunny. That was the game’s fattest spread, 81-72. The Tigers were not had yet. Hogan redeemed himself with a 25-footer, McGurk connected on his team’s 15 consecutive free throw, and Hogan scored again to make it 81-77. The Tigers lost a point while Humes and McMurtrey were trading five points for four points before Hogan and McGurk sliced the edge to 86-84. Sam Watkins upped it again to three at the 3:00 stop, but Bahler—after missing 11 of his first 15 shots—pirated a 12footer from the right side. DePauw was down 87-86 with 2:43 to squabble. Humes’ 17th basket in 30 shots pushed it to three again, but Hogan’s 20-footer six seconds later cancelled that. Evansville guard Rick Kingston hurt the Tigers wtih a pair of baskets—one a sleeper while

the Tigers were concentrating on the press—and that moved the score to 93-88. Hogan came back with a slambang hook bank shot that had been set up in a timeout. The picture got even rosier when Denny Barrett, relieving Schermer, was fouled by Watkins with 44 seconds left and the score, 93-90. DePauw was 16 for 16 at the line when Barrett stepped up for his crucial one and bonus situation. But the shot misfired. In the melee under the Tiger basket Herb Williams claimed the ball and heaved it desperately down court. It mated with Kingston for an easy layup with 32 seconds left. There was new hope, however, 12 seconds later when Tom McGurk was fouled by Howard Pratt. The 6-6 Covington scrambler hit the first of two to make it 95-91. The second missed, and the Tigers losing it in a furious scuffle under the bas-

ket.

Morgan Everson, however, stole the upcourt pass and layed it in. That made it 95-93 with eight seconds left. The clock kept running and the winners played their cards safer next time, mothering the ball till the game ended. The loss, DePauw’s first at home in four games, left the Tigers 8-6 for the year and 1-4 in the ICC. Evansville used the win to leap into a tie with Indiana State atop the ICC at 4-1. The Aces are 11-5 for the year. Saturday the Tiger varsity and frosh clash with Butler in Indianapolis at 8 and 6 p.m. respectively.
