height of Joe Williams by using a zone, but to no avail. Three passes and a shot later, Cloverdale had two points. What shots went astray, Ford and Williams played ante-over until one of them dropped the ball in for two points. With 3:56 left in the first quarter, the Clovers w r ere leading 13 to 4 and were off and running. By half time the lead w r as stretched to 58 to 35. Meanwhile, Ford had deposited 27 of his points and Williams had dropped in 15, and Nees tallied 7 baskets from the corner when Eminence’s defense sagged into the middle to stop Ford and Williams. The second half was a continuation of the first with Cloverdale dominating the play. The jitters usually associated with the first game u r asn’t apparent as the Clovers looked in midseason form in rolling up a 78 to 49 third quarter lead. The Cloverdale reserves finished up the ball game and scored the 100th point with 19 seconds left in the game. Buis of Eminence was second dealing scorer in the game as he ripped the nets for 31 points. Most of his points were from well out on the court as the Clovers’ defense forced the Eels to take the 20 foot shots. Cloverdale entertains Van Buren at Cloverdale Friday night.

Pont Looks to Next 3 Games INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Indiana football coach Johnny Pont, with games against Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue on the next three Saturdays, said Tuesday “we have no reason to think the 1966 season is gone.” “No, we’re not pointing to 1967,” he told the Downtown Quarterback Club. “A couple of victories would change our season completely.” Pont said he called for a twopoint conversion attempt in last Saturday’s 20-19 loss at Iowa for just one reason—“we had to win, we didn’t want to tie." The pass from Frank Stavroff to A1 Gage didn’t work and Iowa went into the lead to stay with a field goal. Pont said the fact that Indiana ran 91 offensive plays against Iowa, the most ever in the Big Ten by a losing team, and 88 against Minnesota in a 7-7 standoff, proves that his team “can move the ball, but we don’t have the speed to break out.” “Sure, we have a fine freshman team,” but he said the 1966 season is not over yet.

which time plaques will be awarded to the conference winner in each sport and an AllSports trophy will be presented to the school with the best record in all events. Conference President Ward Brown, Principal at Crawfordsville High School, said locations have been established for 1967 conference championships in four events. These include cross country, Frankfort; track, Carmel; golf, Lebanon, and baseball, Noblesville.

“game of the week.” Both are 7-0-1 for the season, with Washington tied for third place in the ratings and Roosevelt sixth. The Northwest division playoff replaces the former EastWest NIHSC scrap of past

years.

The Western and Central Conference titles will probably also be settled this week. If Greencastle gets past Clinton Friday, it’s all over in the WIC, where Greencastle is undefeated. Wabash, beaten only by former member Plymouth, must win at Tipton the same night for CIC honors or may wind up sharing the crown with Huntington, which closes at Elwood

the same night.

If Greencastle fails against Clinton, Terre Haute Wiley and Schulte and Honey Creek will have a shot at a share of the

crown.

Then it happened. With the clock showing 3:22 Waveland’s Watson swiped the ball near mid court and fired it under the basket to Myers. Myers neatly slipped the round pig skin through the hoop and the scoreboard showed the ball game tied at 51-51.

PITTSBURGH UPI — George Izo, who has seen action with four National Football League clubs since quarterbacking the Notre Dame team in 1960, was released on waivers by the Pittsburgh Steelers Tuesday. Izo was the No. 1 draft choice of the St. Louis Cardinals in 1960. He was traded to the Washington Redskins in 1961 and three years later was sent to the Detroit Lions. The Lions released him shortly before the season began, and he was picked up by the Steelers. He wa$ activated in the Steeler’s third game this season. He completed 35 of 81 passes for 360 yards and two touchdowns. The St elers elevated South Dakota State rookie Ron Myers from the taxi spuad to replace Izo.
