Tiger Cubs Lose in Upset Tilt to Danville, 79-81

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor Placing four men in double figures and firing a hot .721 from the line, the Danville Warriors threw a chalk in the path of the rallying Greencastle Tiger Cubs as they played host and defeated the Cubs last Saturday night, 81-79. It was the fifteenth contest of the season for the Greencastle crew and the third defeat

while the Warriors added one to their .500 season, making them 8-7 overall. Surprisingly enough the Cubs shot a better charity stripe percentage than their opponents by dropping in 17 of 22 for a .772 and the visiting Cubs also outshot the Warriors from the field .hitting 31 of 78 attempts while Danville hit only 27 of 78 tries. The difference In the con-

test came from the free throw line as Danville got 8 more than the Cubs. A topsy-turvy first period of action caught both teams exchanging buckets and fighting it down to the line with Danville in command 16-15 at 1:12. Warrior McGowan dumped in two field goals to equal Greencastle’s Troyer and at the buzzer Danville held the slim edge, 20-19.

Reelsville Indians Tromp Waveland Team, 92-80

Making it over the .500 mark in two ways, the Reelsville Indians blasted their way into their eighth win in fifteen outings by scorching the nets for a .510 percentage from the field and brushing off Waveland last Saturday night, 92-80. The outstanding thing about the contest was that the hotshooting hoopaters from Waveland, who shot 80 percent of their shots from no less than i fifteen feet from out, fired an even higher percentage than the visiting Indians with a .565. Four men hit high in the double figure column for the Reelsville crew with Williams pacing the output with 9 field goals and 6 free throws. The Indians had to battle their way through the entire contest as the Waveland outfit ignored their 15-9 first quarter

lead and popped in 27 to the Indians 19 points to grab a 36-34 lead at half time. Coach McClure fired his crew up at half-time and the Indians blasted the nets for 58 points the second half. Peeler, who had trouble starting it the early part of the season, came through with a 12 point performance for the Indians. Williams dropped in 25 points while Irwin added 24, and Blaydes and Peeler 12 apiece. Mitchell and Stultz did it for Waveland with 22 and 18 points.

The Cubs hit two more shots from the field in the quarter, but the Warriors made fouls pay off and hit paydirt with 8 for 10 tries from the line. Danville held onto the lead, never gaining more than a 3point edge, until the clock showed 3:22 and Cub Steve Jones swiped the ball, fired down court to Chadd who tossed in a five-footer to tie the score at 33 alL Troyer boomed in on the next play, but Danville’s Gowan came back with a fifteen foot jumper. Hustling sophomore Pete Norris got the notion on the next trip down the hardwood and passed up a lay-up, fired the ball to Troyer who neatly tucked away a jumper to put the Cubs in command 37-35. Troyer and Norris combined to bring the Greencastle crew home wrtth a 54-41 half time margin. The Tiger Cubs managed to hold on to the lead until the closing minutes of the period when Danville’s Ritchey put them under with three consecutive shots that gave the Warriors a 57-55 advantage. Wiggam and McGowan took the hint frt*n Ritchey and laid up a couple more and the close of the quarter caught Danville in command 63-59. Greencastle hit a cold spell in the opening minutes of the fourth period that snowed them under to a 66-61 trailing score at the 6:47 mark, but a minute later, after Jones and Troyer combined for a bucket and four three throws, Greencastle was down only one, 67-68. The Warriors made a quick recovery and held a 76-71 lead at 3:21 and the Cubs had to come back again, it was Nanovsky and Chadd this time, but Nanovsky’s time was limited by a personal foul call and a trip to the bench for the remainder of the game at 1:45. Chadd blasted in a couple without the Tiger Cub pivot man and at :48 Greencastle was down 79-77. Chadd was called for a personal on the next play and Switzer popped in two charity stripes to give the Warriors an 81-77 margin. Harmless had his chance at the carity stripe next, but failed to connect. Chadd grabbed off a rebound on the missed free throw attempt and called time with only 3 seconds remaining. McCracken, Cub mentor, called a second timeout in the proceedings trying to make plans for a desperation shot, but the attempt failed and the Warriors claimed their victory. Leading the four-man scoring attack for the Warriors was McGowan with 20 points while teammates Ritchey, Switzer, and Lynch tossed in 19, 15 and 12 points. Troyer led the Greencastle barrage with 33 points while Chadd dropped in 12. Summaries:

Celtics Regain 1st Place in NBA

■y United Preu International The standings are becoming little crowded in the National Basketball Association’s Eastern Division. Cincinnati and Philadelphia are each one-half game behind the Boston Celtics, who regained first place by shading New York 118-115 Sunday. The 76ers moved into a tie for second by blasting Detroit 117-98 while the Royals, who were in first when the day began, lost 115-98 to St. Louis. In the other NBA game, Los Angeles bombed Baltimore 136122 to move 5% games in front in the Western Division. The Celtics had a safe 91-74 lead at the end of three quarters but New York scored 41 points in the last session and went ahead 116-115 on a 20-foot jumper by Emmette Bryant K. C. Jones, however, was fouled by Willis Reed and the Boston playmaker sank a pair of foul shots for the victory. Bill Russell was high scorer for the Celtics with 22 points. Wilt Chamberlain netted 38 points and grabbed 23 rebounds as the 76ers won their eighth successive game. Philadelphia jumped to a 58-51 halftime lead and stretched it to 90-73 after three quarters. St. Louis led by 10 points at halftime and poured it on after intermission to lead by as many as 22. Player - coach Richie Guerin, who scored 22 points for the Hawks, finished the game by using reserves. Oscar Robertson netted 33 points for the Royals.

Scott Allen Wins Championship BERKLEY, Calif. UPI — Scott Allen is the national men’s figure skating champion once again, but his latest victory over 1965 champion Gary Visconti raised more questions than it answered. Allen, the 17 - year - old 1964 champion from Smoke Rise, N. J., beat Visconti in the U. S. Figure Skating championships Saturday night on the strength of a lead he built in compulsory figures. Three judges ranked him first overall and two placed him second. Visconti got one first place vote, two seconds and two thirds. T h • embullient Visconti, three years older and about six inches shorter than Allen, won the free-skating despite a fall at the end of one triple jump, and another planned triple that “just didn’t come off.” Allen received unimpressive free skating marks and two of the five judges ranked him no better than fourth. Peggy Fleming of Colorado Springs won her third straight national women’s title, with Albertina Noyes of Arlington, Mass., second and Pamela Schneider of Lincroft, N. J., third. Cynthia and Ronald Kauffman of Seattle, Wash., won the pairs title.

B-team: Greencastle 52, Danville 51.

Forty Race Horses Perish BOWIE, Md. UPI —\ Forty race horses were believed to have perished early today when flames swept a stable area at snowbound Bowie Race Track. The spokesman said the toll could go higher. Some 160 horses were stabled in the Blueberry Hill section of the track, and many were loose and possibly injured in the predawn darkness. The horses that perished were in one of five barns swept by the fire which was discovered at about 1:45 a. m. All the barns were destroyed. Damage to the bams was estimated at 3200,000. —

Canadians Beat Bruins, 3 to 1 By United Pratt Intarnational A penalty-free game in the violent world of National Hockey League teams come infrequently, but Boston Garden spectators Sunday night saw one. The Montreal Canadians beat the Boston Bruins 3-1. Neither team was penalized. The Detroit Red Wings had held sole possession of first place for the past 10 days, but the Black Hawks, led by first period goals from Kenny Wharram, Stan Mikita, and rookie John Mizuk, took the Wings 5-1. In the other NHL game, Bob Nevin knocked in his 19th and 20th goals, and Reg Fleming also scored two to lead the New York Rangers to an 8-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Red Wings’ second team All - Star defenseman, Doug Barkley, was hit in the eye by his own stick in the second period and forced to leave the game. The injury caused a hemorrhage in the rear chamber of the eye and could cause him to miss some games.

Tigers Crushed By Butler 63-107

Sometimes nothing goes right. Saturday night at Hinkle Fieldhouse was one of those nights for the DePauw University basketball Tigers who sailed into the game with spirits soaring after a nearly perfect performance in a 95-93 loss three nights earlier to Evansville. The 8-7 Tigers couldn’t hit well (23 of 65 for .354), they were unable to defense the Bull-

dogs (Butler tied a fieldhouse mark), and they came up 20 rebounds shy of the winners, 5838. On top of this DePauw committed 24 errors—four in the first five minutes of the game when they were falling behind 12-3—and worse yet, 60 per cent of Coach Elmer McCall’s starting unit contributed a grand total of seven points to the cause. Butler won, 107-63, whacking

DePauw Wrestlers Win From Earlham, 24-13

Two quick pins by Dan Hasbrook and Ralph Larsen eased DePauw out of a tight 14-13 wrestling duel with Earlham Saturday and moved the Tigers to a 24-13 victory. The decision for Coach Ted Katula’s matmen was the third in six dual outings. It sets the stage for the major visit of the University of Cincinnati here Wednesday, Feb. 2. DePauw moved into the meet’s four final matches Saturday with what looked to be a safe 14-5 edge with 160-pounder Fred Wendleboe on beck. Wendelboe went right to work on Mark Eidemiller and almost moved in for the pin. Eidemiller escaped, however, and went on to take a 4-0 decision. That made the score, 14-8. The gap closed even tighter when 167-pounder Steve Nice pinned by Earlham’s Doug Kaler 44 seconds into the third period.

Footballer-wrestler Hasbrook and his foe, Fred Casey, used up a three minute period in their encounter before Hasbrook dropped him with 2:37 left in the second period. Larsen was only slightly less efficient, pinning Earlham’s heavyweight entry Grim Hobbs with 4:51 gone. DePauw won four consecutive watches after Steve Ross was pinned at 2:45 by Earlham 123-pounder John Little. John Ferguson, 130, decisioned Herman Drobney, 5-1; Mike Maeder, 137, disposed of Bob Perkins by pin in 1:50; Jerry Connor decisioned 145-pounder Ray Rose, 8-3; and Tom Newman, 152, won by decision over Craig McClain, 8-2. Remaining wrestling matches for the Tigers, who performed before over 300 Saturday, are Cincinnati, St. Joseph’s, Anderson, Ball State and Wabash. Only Cincinnati and Ball State (Feb. 12) are at home.

Ball State Swimmers Rap DePauw, 66-29

DePauw’s Greg Mutz paddled to three blue ribbons in collegiate swimming competition Saturday, but the Tigers were submerger as a team, 66-29, at Ball State. In winning his tenth first place in 11 tries Mutz established a new Ball State pool record in the 200-yard individual medley in a time of 2:13.7, almost three seconds slower than his best time for the event which he turned in Dec. 10 at Denison University. Mutz’ times, like most of those of his teammates, were even less spectacular in his other two wins. He took the 500-yard freestyle in 5:57.6 and the 200-yard breaststroke in 2:37.5. He swam these two events back to back. Clark Van Cleve accounted for DePauw’s only other first

Wisconsin to Meet Ohio St. CHICAGO UPI —Wisconsin and Ohio State, a pair of .250 Big Ten basketball teams with necessarily modest ambitions, keep the conference schedule alive with their game tonight on the Buckeye floor. All other league members are idle. Tuesday night, Illinois meets Michigan and Northwestern faces Minnesota. Wisconsin and Ohic State go into the game with identical 1-3 records against conference opposition. The Badgers dropped a 67-67 decision to Michigan Saturday, and the Buckeyes defeated Hardin-Simmons, 62-64. The Badgers held Cazzie Russell to 21 points, but his output along with his teammates’ share of the attack was enough to add up to Michigan’s fifth conference success without a setback. The Wolverines trailed early. They took the lead in the first six minutes and managed to stay just far in front the rest of the way to insure victory. Michigan State stayed within a half-game of the league lead with Saturday night’s 77-69 canquest of Northwestern. The Spartans built up a 14point halftime lead and were never threatened in the second 20 minutes of play. Stan Washington with 22 points was their best marksman. Minnesota went to Purdue Saturday and came baak with a 91-75 triumph. Archie Clark paced the Gopher bombardment with 27 points. Dave Schellhase, the Boilermakers ace, finished with 28.

and that was in the 50-yard freestyle. The Westchester, 111., sophomore swam it in :23.3. Van Cleve picked up a third in the 100-yard freestyle. Other Tigers scoring points were Doug Waples—a pair of thirds in the 200-yard freestyle and 200-yard butterfly; Doug Vines a third in diving; Dave Terry a second in the 200-yard backstroke; Bob Wells a third behind Terry; and Dave Siff a third behind Mutz in the 200yard breaststroke. DePauw faces Albion College Feb. 12 in Bowman pool then goes on the road to Valparaiso (Feb. 19) and Eastern Illinois (Feb. 23) before closing out here with Evansville, the defending ICC champs, Feb. 26. DePauw has defeated Indiana State, 52-43, and Berea, 63-31, and lost to Denison, 57-38, Miami, 67-28, and Ball State.

DePauw’s first team, on the other hand, made only 15 of 46 with usually reliable Stan Bahler and starting guard Dan Schermer failing to connect at all. Bahler, in fact, shot only once during the entire evening and Schermer missed on all five of his chances. Morgan Everson and Jack Hogan carried the Tigers with 17 and 16 points respectively. Reserve center Dick Weber was the only other Tiger to get into double figures. He got 11. DePauw trailed at halftime, 54-29, and was 49 points off the pace, 87-38, with 9:34 to play. Coach Elmer McCall, who has to take his team to the ICG’s number two team—Valparaiso Wednesday night, summarized the Tigers’ startling performance rather clearly: “We just couldn’t do anything right, and they were hotter than a firecracker.” Matters went slightly better for the Tiger freshman team which didn’t win but nearly did. They trailed at halftime by eleven, but came back to force the game into overtime, 64-64, before finally losing out, 77-74.

A NEW YEAR always brings changes and with baseball about to hit the headlines again with the opening of spring training camps, the talk gets around to expansion and the future of the diamond sport, long considered the national game. A recent article in The Sporting News, baseball’s bible, indicates that there won’t be any more expansion in the near future and that the boom in stadia construction all around the country will have no effect on setting up franchises in all those cities. Baseball, as always, Is slow to move while the other sports, particularly pro football, have. A few baseball biggies believe that expansion plans should be developed right now and baseball, if it continues to prosper, has to move, too. It has to move, they say, to new population centers, to more minor league cities. Some status quo thinkers continue to point out that baseball interest has lagged in the young set, that it’s tougher to get ball players, either tn quantity or quality. But expansion certainly would open up the field and more and more youngsters, who have taken to football, basketball and other participant sports, would find that baseball has a solid future, too. We can remember not too far back when an all-around high school or college athlete, proficient in baseball and football, would pick baseball. Today we find that football has the appeal, with or without big bonuses. • • • THE SPORTING NEWS points out that back in 1949 there were 61 leagues operating, 59 in the minors. More than 41,000,000 paid their way in to see the minor league games while 20,000,000 more were attracted to major league baseball in eight-team loops. Last year there were only 19 minor leagues and three of these were in Mexico. The majors, to be sure, upped their lists from eight to 10 each since that 1949 season but that hardly can compare with the way professional football and other sports have spread in the same time. Population continues to rise, the nation is enjoying great prosperity, record-breaking crowds are turning out for various events and yet the national game hasn’t expanded around the country like it should have. Just over a dozen years ago baseball was represented la such metropolitan centers like Montreal, New Orleans, Memphis, San Antonio, Louisville, Oakland, Omaha, Des Moines^ Salt Lake City and Milwaukee. None of them will have it la 1966.
