BAINBRIDGE. CLOVERDALE WIN REGIONALS

Clovers Win Terre Haute Regional With Easy Victory Over Shakamak

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Buuwr Sparta Editor Deceptive Rod Hervey slipped through Sbakunak’s defensive hands for a game high of twen-ty-two points and led his rallying Cloverdale wwinfi»tg to an 82-65 Terre Haute Regional Championship over Sh&kamak’s Lakers in the ISU arena Saturday night. The regional crown was a repeat for the Clovers who snatched honors at Covington last year and gave them a berth in the Evansville semi-state tourney against Vincennes next Saturday. Shakamak drew first blood in the tilt when the Clovers failed to connect after claiming the tip-off, but 5-11 guard Hervey brought the crowd to their feet with a twenty-five footer on the next trip down the hardwood. From there Cloverdale commanded the performance. With a six-point lead, Mllltr threw his crew into a fired 19 press and the Inkers went haywire to get the ban over the ten second line and the first stansa closed with the Putnam County crew in command 18-11. Shakamak made a brilliant effort to come back In the early minutes of the second quarter, but the Clover offensive refused to slow the pace and the first half Intermission caught the Lakers hanging onto a trailing 40-25 Clover ecore. Cloverdale took pride in showing their defensive skills in the third period as the hustlers commanded the boards and allowed the Lakers more than one shot only once In the stansa. Miller called on the service of sophomore Rick Fond la the

third period end the big soph teamed with pivot man Rob Jones to rob tbs Lakers of eleven points. After taking the twenty point margin at the doss of the third period, 6S-43, Cloverdale settled somewhat in the fourth period and allowed the Lakers 23 points, but kept command and captured their second consecutive regional title. Sinking 33 of 62 attempts from the field for a better than .500 clip, the Clovers added 16 of 30 from the line for a sparkling .800 percentage. Shakamak connected on 26 of 69 tries from the field for a respectable .373, but did a. little better from the free throw line with .667 by hitting 18 of 37 tries. Garfield, Unionville Bow Out Shakamak’s Lakers relied highly on thirty-one personal foul calls against Terre Haute Garfield plus the hot-hand of Jim Yeryar to oust Garfield from the tourney 62-53 while Cloverdale called on a closing minute rally to down Unionville 70-62. The two victories gavs the two teams a bid for the championship later that night The Lakers racked 19 their twenty-first victory in twentyfive outings when they came back from a trailing 48-47 score at 4:48 and out-scored Garfield 10-5. Jim Yeryar donated nineteen free throws in the contest along with six field goals to lead all

scorers with his high 31 points. Help from Mike Michael who tossed in 18 points while teammates Williams and Cleghom dumped in 15 and 10 markers respectively. Garfield out-did the Shakamak crew from the field with 25-18 but the Lakers mads gdod 26 fres throws. , Wabash Valley champion UntanvQle tell when Cloverdale tucked away 2K points in the final quarter a*0 secured their number 23 victory of the year.

Houston Cougers Flying High

By JEFF MEYERS By United Ptms International Even the Manned Space Center has trouble tracking the high-flying Houston Cougars. The Cougars became the highest scoring outfit in collegiate history and the first team ever to average over a 100 points a game when they closed out their season Tuesday night by beating Loyola of the South 103-77. Reports at Houston’s Manned Space Center of unidentified flying objects turned out to be nothing more than the soaring Cougars, who have . averaged 101.3 points in 25 games this season. The mark eclipses the standard of 98.4 set by Miami Fla. last year. Houston, which meets Colorado State Saturday in a firstround NCAA tournament encounter, scored 152 points against Texas Wesleyan last week to miss the NCAA record by two points. Texas A&M walloped Baylor 95-78 to move back into a firstplace tie with Southern Methodist in the Southwest Conference race, Nebraska knotted the Big Eight standings by whipping Kansas State 79-69, and Penn won its first Ivy League title in 13 years by ripping defending champion Princeton 5648. Houston won its 20th game In 25 starts as five players hit In double figures. The Cougars, who shot 48 per cent from the floor, were paced by Joe Hamood with 22 points and 6 foot 8 sophomore Elvin Hayes with 2L

INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Some long suffering and long neglected Indiana high school basketball clubs moved into the spotlight today, their state title hopes skyrocketing on a mighty upset wave that left just three top-rated teams among the "Sweet Sixteen.” Saturday’s second round crowned only one brand-new regional winner—Evansville Memorial—and the list of seasonlong powerhouses was reduced to third-ranked Anderson, fourth-seeded Michigan City and No. 7 East Chicago Washington. Ruined in the amazing form reversal were the records of 24game winner Garrett, the only unbeaten club in the show; 18straight winner Indianapolis Howe and those of Washington and Unionville, both untouched in their last 16 games. Michigan City licked topranked South Bend Central, 7972, at Elkhart, for its first regional title since 1935; Greensburg got its first since 1937, whipping host Columbus, 74-62; North Vernon arrived for the first time since 1940, dumping North Central at Jeffersonville, 84-62, and Aurora upset Brookviie at Connersville, 62-54, for its first regional crown since

1944.

Vincennes and Fort Wayne South were surprise winners, too. Vincennes, totally ignored in pre-tourney speculation after a poor 5-13 season, took Washington, 46-39, then Springs Valley, 66-56, for Huntingburg’s regional crown. Fort Wayne’s Archers, with Don Reichert doing a masterful bit of coaching, stopped fifthrated Garrett, 45-40, by throwing up a collapsible zone that held 7-foot Chuck Bavis to eight points, his lowest of the season. Little Beech Grove, a railroad hub outside Indianapolis, hung a 51-50 whistle stop on No. 2 Indianapolis Howe before being brought down to reality by bigger Indianapolis Tech, 72-63. Ninth-ranked Gary Roosevelt, like Howe, was yanked in the afternoon—by East Chicago, 73-62. The Senators then mauled Hammond, 71-52, to advmnco

to the Lafayette semi-state. Anderson probably had the eariest time of the powers advancing, blasting Adams Central, 87-63, in the title round. The other winners were little Bainbridge at Covington, Kokomo, Lebanon at Lafayette, Logansport, Richmond at New Castle and Cloverdale at Terre Haute. Rick Mount, although ailing with a recurring leg injury, tossed in 34 points and Lebanon withstood Lafayette’s last-per-iod assault for a 72-70 win in their touted “rubber” match. Bainbridge with 208 students and Cloverdale with 225 are the smallest schools still alive. The Clovers, now 25-1, beat previously once-beaten Wabash Valley champ Unionville, 70-62, and Shakamak, 82-65. Cloverdale, winner at Covington last year, and Kokomo were the only regional repeaters. Only seven former state champs are left—Lebanon, Vincennes, Logansport, Anderson, Fort Wayne, Kokomo and East Chi-

cago.

Bainbridge emerged as the top offensive team among the “Sweet Sixteen,” averaging 88.8 points in five tourney games. Anderson is rolling at a clip of 88.6, Kokomo at 86.4. Fort Wayne’s Archers are tops in defense, holding their rivals to an average of 39.4 points, with Logansport second at 40. Kokomo trounced Its foes by the widest margin—32.8 points. Michigan City has a 29point bulge, Anderson 25. Michigan City, co-champ in the Northern Conference, is the only major loop winner left. Nine of the 16 regional champs belong to major conferences. The North Central, with 19 state champs, leads them all with four contenders—Anderson, Kokomo, Logansport and Richmond. Evansville Memorial and Vincennes belong to the Southern loop. The South Central, Northern and Northwest each represented once — by Greensburg, Michigan City and East Chicago, respectively. Fort Wayne, Lebanon and Tech are the major independents seeking further tourney laurels.

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor Bainbridge’s Pointers had to shake off a sluggish first half performance where they narrowly mads it with a trailing 35-29 margin and corns back blasting with both guns in a hot second half to capture the Covington Regional Championship ever Coal Creek Central last Saturday night, 85-74. Bainbridge had to bump off Fowler earlier in the afternoon and Coal Greek had to best Turkey Rim before securing final berths in the tourney. Coal Creek slipped through Bainbridge’s full court press like greased lightning during a quick first period and rambled to a 16-9 command. Rich Stonebraker, who led the Coal Creek barrage with 22 points, didn’t heed the stop sign that the Pointers tried to display in the second quarter and led his team through the Pointer press once again and captured a 35-29 lead. Bainbridge had a rough time getting the round pig-skin through the hoop during the first half, but came back “huntin’ for bear” the second half and out-scored their opponents, 56-39. Sutherlin sparked the Putnam County crew with 16 points in the second half and appropriately kicked things in gear by tossing in the first bucket of the half that made it 35-31, Coal Creek.' Stonebraker came back with a couple and the Pointers were buried deeper. Steele, Rossok and Sutherlin then combined the boards and the points and pulled to within two, 45-47. Coal Creek missed

their next shot and Steele grabbed the rebound. Without checking down floor the 6-4 man fired the ball down-court to an awaiting McFarland who easily laid it up. From there the Pointers employed their fast break tactics and sewed up a 54-51 third period lead. It didn’t take long for the hungry Pointers to taste sweet victory as they out-did their opponents 31-23 in the final stanza and grabbed the "Sweet Sixteen” rights. Balanced scoring put Steele and McFarland with 19 apiece, Sutherlin and Rossok with 16, and Judy with 12 points for the Pointers. Stonebraker donated 22 points while Fouts tossed in 13 and Lidester 12 points.

Turkey Run, Fowler Dropped

Coal Creek Central roared from behind in the second half of action last Saturday night and did away with Turkey Run, 82-75, in an overtime session while Bainbridge bumped Fowler, 90-70, in the second game of the Covington Regional. The Turkey Run crew snatched a early 8-0 lead and held leads of 21-16 and 39-37 at the first two period closings and then increased it to ten points in the third period, 53-43, but Coal Creek went to work with a closing rally and tied it at 65 all at the 4:03 mark. Stonebraker paced them with 31 points and Coal Creek soared with 11 straight points on

DePauw Swimming Team Takes Fourth in ICC Meet

DePauw’s Greg Mutz wrote two new records into the Indiana Collegiate Conference swimming annals Saturday, but defending champion Evansville made off with its second straight team title. Finishing behind the winner's 93 points were Indiana State 68, Ball State 48, DePauw 40, and Valparaiso 31. Mutz, who already held two ' the ICC’s nine individual titles, bagged his first record in the 200-yard individual medley event. He wiped out his one-year-old mark of 2:11.6 in the qualifying heats Friday night the Indiana State arena pool. His record time was 2:09.8. He came back Saturday afternoon to take the finals with a bit slower mark of 2.12.3. DePauw’s only clearcut blue ribbon winner, Mutz claimed his second ICC record in the gruelling 500-yard freestyle event. He gulled even with Evansville’s Tom Poland at the 465-yard mark and finally won by half a length in record time of 5:20.7. The old standard, set last year by an ISU swimmer, was 5:24.1. Mutz didn’t defend his 1965 record of 2:27.9 in the 200-yard breaststroke, but it escaped the a f t e r n o o n unscathed though eight of U records did falL ' Clark Van Cleave added a third place for DePauw but the finiSh of tbs 50-yard freestyle was judged a tie between Van Cleave and Indiana State’s Bill Beier despite the fact Beier was clocked in :23.6 and Van Cleave

Warm water, regular detergent and dry cloth are all the tile needs to stay sparkling since it cannot absorb dirt.

Bainbridge put five men in the double figure column as they jumped into a 16-13 first period lead, then went to a 4027 second stanza close, and finally out-scored their foes in the second half 50-43 to take a 90-70 win.
