Kansas City millionaire granted AL franchise

By FRANK PUCKETT Jr., BANNER SPORTS EDITOR You should have seen the smiles, frowns, and hands scratching heads Wednesday evening when the county coaches and school personnel got together for their annual din- ' ner meeting and drawing for the Putnam County Tournament. Yep, you guessed it. v' Russellville coach John Hutchinson was the & one a from cheek to cheek, Bainbridge coach Pat Rady was scratching his : Ji Mm head. Fillmore and Roachdale coaches Larry Moser and Carl Treece sat contentedly, Reelsville’s mentor Dave Bussing had a near frown or deep thinking look on his face. Clov•rdale coach A1 Tucker couldn't make the meeting, but observing the expression on principal Connie Cress' face—it looked confi-

Hats off to the group. They voted to go along with the 1HSAA ruling, a new one this year, that instead of dressing ten players teams could dress twelve. In the past teams have been allowed to certify twelve boys and scratch two before the game started, leaving ten boys to dress and play. With the new ruling twelve boys will be certified and twelve boys will dress and play if the school likes. • • • * Bainbridge principal Norman Evans told the group that he had got official word from the school board at North Putnam that the schools Roachdale. Russellville, and Bainbridge would remain separate for the 1968-69 season. There was speculation that the three schools would be combined into one. North Putnam School Corporation consolidation. Just as soon as the meeting was over all six schools got together and started scheduling

games.

• • • • The school principals brought up the subject of whether there w'ould be a county tournament next year. After a very short discussion they decided to discuss the matter in a closed meeting to be held a little later. Before they did Roachdale principal Kenneth Miller, who by the way is a member of the IHSAA Athletic Council, commented that he was all for continuing the tournament. Miller said during the history of the tournament it has always been a success. Hurrah for Miller! • • • • The tournament is played at Greencastle, & central location with suitable seating capacity, on Thursday and Saturday. Friday night, January 18, the Greencastle Tiger Cubs have a home game in the gymnasium with Terre Haute Garfield. The Cubs do hot participate in the county tourney. • • • • Speaking of the Tiger Cubs, they are still tied for the Western Indiana Conference leadership. Garfield, the team they meet January 19, is the leader with a 4-0 mark while the Cubs stand at 8-0. Pete Norris, 6-2 forward, is the leader in scoring for the loop with a 27.8 per game average. He has scored 82 points in three conference contests. Terry Ross, another Tiger Cub, is twelfth in scoring with a 15 point average. • • • • It s a busy weekend for the local prepsters with five games tonight and four Saturday night. Cloverdale goes to Rosedale, Reelsville Is at Russellville, Roachdale moves to North Salem, Greencastle plays at Schulte, and Fillmore is at Eminence tonight Tomorrow night finds Cloverdale traveling once more. This time they go to Brazil where they meet Staunton, Russellville is at Waveland, Schulte goes to Bainbridge, and Reelsville goes up against Montezuma. What’s the Ouija Board »ay? Cloverdale will win both nights; Reelsville will lose both games; North Salem will take Roachdale: Greencastle will get Schulte; Bainbridge will l)eat Schulte; Eminence will beat Fillmore, and Waveland will beat Russellville. • • * • LARRY STEELE, former Bainbridge basketball star, plugged away and dropped in 22 points when Kentucky lost to Notre Dame’s freshman squad last night. Steele Is a freshman at Ken-

tucky.

• • • • The tri-colored basketball, which drew controversial “beach ball” comparisons when it was first introduced in the American Basketball Association this fall, has been unanimously endorsed as the league’s official ball for the remainder of the 1967-68 sea-

son.

"The ball has become increasingly popular with our fans.” Commissioner George Mikan said. “It’s become a trademark of the ABA." The ball, developed and manufactured for the ABA by the Rawlings Sporting Goods Co., is in the league's red, white and blue color scheme. „ As first there was opposition to it from players who said the coloring bothered their depth perception and the dyed surface made the ball slippery. The ball was used experimentally during the first six weeks of the campaign, and as the players became accustomed to it their concern diminished. Independent samplings of opinion at NBA games have indicated the fans like it. One poll, taken by the Denver Rockets, gave the red. white and blue ball a 2-1 majority.
