Th« word “highlights’’ means exactly what It Implies in this column today. Putnam County’s two representatives in the IHSAA basketball tournament are still grasping for that big <me and they have become the highlight of the tourney. And why not—they are the smallest two teams in the competition to date, Bainbridge holds the highest scoring average in tourney play at 88.8, Cloverdale holds the best record of any team going, and the Pointers is the smallest team represented at 205 students. Besides those honors, the two cagers are from the same county and no more than twenty miles apart It seems like a far-fetched idea to have the prep teams pondering over the idea of reaching each other at the top, but didn’t Milan have a far-fetched idea back In 1054? Cloverdale will undertake the job of taking on Vincennes at Evansville in the first game at the afternoon at Evansville while the Bainbridge club will tangle with East Chicago Washington in the first game of the afternoon at Lafayette. It is n first for the Clovers as fur as going south in state competition, but the Pointers have been in the same position once before. Back in 1959 when Jeff Blue and company took the regional they met the East Chicago bunch on the same floor and the outcome was far from what we hope comes up this time. Whatever the outcome, people in Putnam County have a showing pride in “their” basketball teams.

Evansville Tourney May Produce Champ

By KURT FREUDEXTHAL INDIANAPOLIS UPI—It’s 3 to 1 and have your pick that a brand-new challenger for the Indiana high school basketball crown will emerge from Saturday’s Evansville semi-state. At least two of the contenders Vincennes and Evansville Memorial, were virtually ignored in pre-tourney speculation—especially Vincennes, which sports the worst record among the “Sweet Sixteen”—10-13. Vincennes meets Cloverdale in the opener and North Vernon plays Memorial in the second

afternoon game Saturday, and only Vincennes has made the “Final Four” previously, but not since 1925. The Alices won the state title in 1923 hut haven’t been too prominent in the Hoosier Hoopla since the 1920s. They turned in one of the top upsets in last Saturday’s regional dumping highly-favored Washington, 4639, then whipped Spring Valley to advance to the semis. T. L. Plain has a predominantly underclassmen club built around 6-5 junior Rod Ellis and 6-3 senior Terry Croslow. They

Ind. State, Evansville, Butler Players Named to ICC Team

Indiana Collegiate Conference coaches have selected five of the league’s top six scorers for their 1965-66 all-loop team. Announced today, the first five—two each from co-cham-pions Indiana State and Evansville and one from nmnerup Butler—of the ICC first team carries a combined scoring average of 129.2 points per game. The seven coaches pulled a mild surprise In picking co“Coaches of the Year”—Arad McCutchan of Evansville and Duane Kleuh of Indiana State. The two mentors each received 12 points in the balloting. Not so surprising, however, was the selection of the ICC’s leading scorer and Little AllAmerican Larry Humes, Evansville, as the conference’s most valuable player. Humes averaged 31.3 points in 12 ICC games in repeating as the ICC’s leading scorer this year. Named to the league’s first team were Humes and Sam Watkins, Evansville seniors, Butch Wade and Jerry Newsom, the latter the ICC’s top marksman, of Indiana State, and Ed Schilling of Butler. Schilling and Wade are juniors. Newsom is a sophomore. Humes and Wade both are holdovers from last year’s allconference team. , Three mote conference teams were represented on the league’s second team. Picked in the coaches’ voting were Mack Sawyer, Ball State sophomore and the league’s leading rebounder; Morgan Everson, senior, and Jack Hogan, junior and smallest player in the loop, from DePauw; Ken Broussard, St. Joe sophomore; and Herb Williams, Evansville junior. Five more players made honorable mention. Two, Steve Cook of Valparaiso and Stan Bahler of DePauw, had been members of the ICC second team last year. The three newcomers to honorable mention were Jim Crone, Indiana State; Tom Smith, Valparaiso; and Larry Shade, Butler. In the balloting for most valuable player, Humes led the field with 60 points, gathering a first place ballot from every coach in the league. (Coaches cannot vote for their own players). Behind him came Wade (46), Newsom (42), Watkins (39) and Schilling (32). Valparaiso’s head coach. Gene Bartow, finished behind McCutchan and Kleuh with eight points in the coach-of-the-year balloting. The twin, selection of the co-winners was the first deadlock for this honor since McCutchan and Tony Hinkle of Butler tied for the honor in 1956. Twenty-four players were nominated by their coaches for all-conference consideration. The five athletes capturing the

most votes on a 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis were named to the first team and the next highest five to the second team. Honorable mention was awarded those players who failed to make either team but who received mention on ballots from at least two coaches.

lost at home to Memorial in the final game of the regular season, 75-64. Memorial upset Evansville Harrison in the sectional title game, 63-61, and had it considerably easier in the regionals, trimming North Posey and Boonville. It’s the biggest team the school has ever had, with no starter under 6-2. The Tigers have one of the state’s better shooters in 6-3 Dave Dantand are first-time sectional and regional winners. Cloverdale’s 25-1 record is the best of the semi-state hopefuls. The Clovers from a town of 2,000 have every starter back from the outfit that gained the Lafayette semi-state a year ago. This time they were routed through the southern sector which admittedly, is an easier path to the state finals. Cloverdale employs a pressure defense that has held five tourney foes to an average of 57 points. North Vernon’s appearance in this field is no major surprise. The Panthers lost just four games during the season and ended Seymour’s string of 12 consecutive sectional triumphs. They also have a veteran crew led by 6-2 Bob Howe, who plays either forward or guard and who averages about 23 points a game. The Southern semi-state has been the big surprise in recent years. Three years ago Terre Haute Garfield galloped out of nowhere to gain the finals and it was Princeton last year. Anyone of the the four contenders this time could crash through, although it would be quite a surprise for 13-game loser Vincennes to make it. But after last Saturday, additional upsets might be the rule rather than the exception.

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor Putnam County is all in the “dover” when it comes to high school basketball and the way things are shaping up, it looks as though they are “Point’in” toward the state championship — coming from the north or south. Bainbridge and Cloverdale, the two smallest schools left in the IHSAA state competition, are both Putnam County high school basketball teams that play each other twice a year in regular season play and are now both setting records as the only two teams from the same county that have gone this far in state tourney competition. Bainbridge’s Pointers, 24-2, have dropped games only to Fillmore and Cloverdals during regular season play — but avenged both losses when they ousted Cloverdale in the County Tourney and thumped Fillmore in the final of the Greencastle Sectional. The Pointers knocked off Fowler, winner at Kentland’s Sectional, in the first game of the Covington Regional and then rallied In the last quarter to boot out Coal Creek Central in the final game of the tourney to gain a berth in the Lafayette Semi-state. They are also the highest scoring group in the state-wide tourney with a 88.8 average in tournament play. Cloverdale (26-1), who went all season with only one loss — and that was to Bainbridge — got shifted from the Greencastle Sectional which they won

last year, when the IHSAA revamped the tourney sites. They were re-routed to Brazil. There the Clovers knocked off Van Buren in the final to claim their second consecutive sectional, then went on to boast regional honors with wins over Unionville and Shakamak at Terre Haute. The Clovers will travel to Evansville next week where they are slated to tangle with Vincennes. Vincennes (10-13) was labeled the Cinderella team by United Press International, winning all their tournament games by eight or ten points. Bainbridge will hit it rough right off the bat when they bump into East Chicago Washington in the first game of the

Lafayette Semi-state. The Pointers made it to the same spot back in 1959 with Bain-bridge-great Jeff Blue and bowed to — yeh, you guessed it — East Chicago Washington. During regular season play the Clovers pasted Bainbridge on the Cloverdale floor, then, when the two met for the second time in the finals of the county tourney, it was Bainbridge who claimed honors. Now the two teams are hoping for a remote chance to battling it out once more — at the big one in Hinkle. If .the two teams do meet, it will have to be in the final game of the state championship. The idea seems mighty far-fetched, but so did Milan’s idea back in 1954.

Mixed Emotions

Pat Rady, young cqach of the Bainbridge Pointers who captured the Covington Regional Crown last Saturday and popped into the "Sweet Sixteen,” has a fan with mixed emotions. Just two years out of college, the popular mentor hasn’t had time to tie the matrimonial knot, but he’s working on it. He is engaged to Margaret Huber. Miss Huber represented the county In the Miss Sesquicentennial contest the state held last week. Margaret attends the games that her husband-to-be coaches, but sits In the bleachers with a

transistor radio listening to her home town play. It does sound strange that her home town team is still in the state tourney as well as the team her fiance coaches — but something that sounds even stranger is that die is from Cloverdale. Cloverdale and Bainbridge are both from Putnam County and are making history as the only two teams from the same county to compete at the same semi-state level of the IHSAA basketball tourney! To top it all off, Rady’s assistant coach, Jim Sharp, Is from you know where — Cloverdale.

Russell Leads Big 10 Scoring CHICAGO UPI—Cazzie Russell of Michigan wrested the scoring crown from Dave Schellhase of Purdue and Michigan State upset the champion Wolverines Monday night in the final round of the Big Ten. Russell got 34 points in Michigan’s 86-77 loss to Michigan State while Schellhase got 31 in Purdue’s 92-86 win over Ohio State. This gave Russell 465 to Schellhase’s 451. Schellhase won the crown last year. Both men are All Americans this year. Bill Curtis with 26 and Stan Washington with 23 paced Michigan State to its upset. The Spartans might have tied for the title, had they not been victims themselves to Indiana two nights earlier. They finished 104, while Michigan was 11-3. Iowa defeated Indiana 82-77 and Northwestern whipped Illinois 84-76 to knot the Hawkeyes and Illini in a third place deadlock with 8-6 records. All five Iowa starters scored in double figures with Ben McGilmer, a sophomore who started the season as a sub, getting the most, 19. Ron Kozlicki’s 26 and Jim Burns’ 23 pushed Northwestern to its win. Don Freeman, Illinois’ all-time scorer, and third-place finisher in the conference this year, scored 26. Wisconsin defeated Minnesota 87-74, with Badgers Ken Gustafson and Mark Zubor scoring 27 and 21, and Gophers’ Lou Hudson and Archie Clark 26 and 16.
