DePauw Loses Tough Overtime
Contest to Indiana State. 97-90
Indiana State and DePauw demonstrated here last night why the Indiana Collegiate Conference is probably the most remarkable small college clan in the country. The league-leading 21-3 Sycamores won in overtime, 97-90, but the difference between the ICC’s top club and its basement
squad was nearly clearly evident in 45 minutes of almost indecisive struggling. In the end it was the one-two punch of State’s masterful scoring twins — Jerry Newsom and Butch Wade. Newsom finished with 34 points. Thirteen of them came in the five minute extra period after he had forced the

The Cardinals won’t have to worry about the Clover crew in the Sectional though—wonder is they will uphold their otherwise undefeated season?

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The IHSAA, criticising both coaches and adult fans, Wednesday placed West Washington and Staunton High Schools on probation until March 1, 1967. Both probation decisions came as the result of what the IHSAA Board of Control termed “unsportsmanlike conduct” in basketball games. The association cited Staunton for a game last Saturday night against Shakamak at Van Buren, while West Washington was slapped because of an incident during a game Jan. 21 at IBngrli.Ql, The Board of Control said Staunton coach Clair Wilhelm, a Staunton player and some adult fans were responsible for the incident. The board pointed out Wilhelm had technical fouls called against him in the 2nd period and the 2nd half and that after continued objections following the second technical foul, Wilhelm was removed from the
floor.
The player then was ejected for using “language unbecoming a gentleman,” the board said, and adult fans from Staunton continued to use abusive language as the officials went to the dressing room. Wilhelm and Staunton principal Jack Mayroee sent letters of apology to the Shakamak principal, student body, varsity team, and to the officials. The IHSAA told Wilhelm to tell Staunton’s adult fens that further incidents “will place the school in jeopardy of immediate suspension.” Severe incidents of unsportsmanlike conduct were reported as committed by the coach, scorer, cheerleaders, student manager and adult fans during and after the game,” the IHSAA said in its reprimand of West Washington. West Washington principal Joe Gill, coach James Dean arm English principal Robert Hunt
and coach Gary Orth appeared before the board. The IHSAA said incidents during the game included the throwing of pennies, and violent disapproval of game decisions. The board directed Gill to tell all adult fans that future unsportsmanlike conduct could result in the school being dropped from IHSAA membership. “The Board of Control feels it is unfortunate when a small group of adult fans brings discredit to their school,” the IHSAA statement said. It commended, however, the West Washington team members. The statement said none of the players were involved in incidents of unsportsmanlike
conduct.
game into an 82-82 tie at the end of 40 minutes. Wade finished with 29 points, | hitting 11 of 18 shots and shooting the Sycamores through the bumpy spots that developed when his squad surprisingly found itself down, 79-70, with 4:29 left. That dramatic final 269 seconds was so tense and unpredictable that even Alfred Hitchcock would have been pleased with the 10 young collegiate scriptwriters. It left 1,800 customers — 500 of them deliriously happy commuters from Terre Haute, limp. When Stan Bahler banged in his tenth basket at the 4:29 mark, even the most optimistic Sycamore fan was ready to yell timber. That made it 79-70, DePauw. The Tigers weren’t to get another basket in the regulation game, but no one knew that, of course, so they kept right on working. At any rate, State’s Mike Phillips cut it to 79-72, and Rich Edgerton, the ICC’s fourth best shooter, stole the ball from Jack Hogan for a layup with 3:39 left. Sophomore Tiger Tom McGurk, not as graceful as Newsom and Wade but a 500% effort man who finished with 27 marvelous points, made two free throws. Now the count was 81- 74 with 3:28 remaining. Then came the one-two punch. Newsom scored. It was 81-76. DePauw got the ball but Hogan was called for too much time getting it into play. He didn’t aim to. The 5-6 mite just couldn’t see anyone gleaming through the towering Sycamores. But Phillips did when his squad was awarded the ball. He flipped to Wade who banked it in for an 81-78 reading with 3:06 left The Tigers then managed to hang on to the ball until Wade fouled Stan Bahler with 2:25 to go. Bahler hit the first of the one and one for an 82- 78 edge. He missed the second though and the Sycamores took it right down court and went fishing for an opening for Newsom. He got it but Morgan Everson fouled. The Columbus sophomore hit both and the breathing space now was down to 8280. Just 2:11 remained. But DePauw still held the trump card. The deep freeze began. DePauw spread its men and played it cool. Suddenly with 1:03 to play Everson found himself unguarded 15 feet from the right side of the basket He fired. The shot missed and the ball caromed back at him, but short McGurk lunged for the unattended sphere, but banged into Newsom who had the same idea — and the right-of-way. The collision brought McGurk his fifth foul. Newsom meanwhile jogged to the other end of the floor and calmly converted two for an 82-82 ball game. DePauw still had plenty of time and best of all it had the basketball. Denny Barrett, who played the entire game for usual starter Dan Schermer, was mothering it perfectly, that is, until it slipped from his hands. He and a Sycamore alertly landed on it at the same time— 0:22 and a jump at the Tiger end ensued. Barrett controlled for the Tigers. They killed six seconds then unloaded their guns. Hogan tried a 12-footer from in front. It went over the rim and
off to the right. Everson batted it back up. The ball bounced off the front of the rim this time. Dick Weber, in for McGurk, rebounded and banked it back up. Another miss. By the time State controlled, Jim Crone was blazing down the court expectantly. A long pass hit him three steps past midcourt. la a single swift motion Crone got the ball, aimed a one hander and let go. His shot touched the rim and bounded to the right side as the horn sounded — 82-82. Newsom put State out ahead immediately in the overtime with a three-point play in the first 12 seconds. He hit again nine seconds later for an 87-82 spread. DePauw still was within winning distance, 01-88, with 1:06 left. But Newsom and Edgerton blew down the threat with quick under the basket shots that made it 95-88 with 27 seconds left. Indiana State, proving itself a championship outfit with its comeback, trailed as much as 10 points midway in the last half. The Tigers had tied the game at 50-50 with 17:02 to go and ruled the roost until the very bitter end. The widest margin of the game for either team was DePauw’s 67-57 edge with exactly 1 Iminutes to play. Even in the first half, after pulling put of a 21-21 deadlock, DePauw dashed off to a 32-23 edge before the irresistible Sycamores battled back. State was on to pat the half, 46-45. They arrived there shooting .568 on 21 of 37 in spite of the fact they were being outrebounded by the Tigers, 23-14, in the first 20 minutes. - The rebounds-as a matter of fact never did equalize. DePauw finished with a wide 56-36 margin, including 15 apiece by Everson and McGurk and 11 by Bahler. Newsom’s 14 were high for the winners. The ICC’s top shooting team finished with a .526 mark on 40 of 76. Newsom had 13 of 20 and was frustTatingly deadly inside 15 feet. DePauw finished with .453 firing on 39 of 86. McGurk, who -figured in virtually every scene in the drama, hit 11 of 14; Bahler had 10 of 21; Hogan went five for 13; Barrett was six for 11; and Everson had six of 24. Saturday night the Tigers will try to pick up the pieces, going to Evansville where they engage the ICC’s second place team.

Frisco Misses Thurmond
By United Press International The San Francisco Warriors are in big trouble without Nate Thurmond in the pivot. The 6-foot-ll Thurmond was held out Wednesday to rest his pulled back muscle and the Warriors dropped their fourth straight, a 112-108 loss to New York. The game was played at San Jose, Calif., and was the night’s lone NBA battle. Coach Alex Hannum of the Warriors put the game under protest when a referee changed an out of bounds call late in the contest. San Francisco trailed 54-58 at the half but fought back to knot tlje count at 89-all and 94all. The clutch shooting of Willis Reed and Howard Komives gave the Knicks the win. Komives wound up with 22 to
lead his team. Rick Barry sparked San Francisco with 21 and Tom Meschery and A1 Attics added 18. Paul Neumann, among the NBA leaders from the free throw line, had only three of eight to contribute to his team’s downfall. Thurmond’s conditions is a game-by-game question mark but San Francisco is lost without his 20 rebound per contest.
