KING OF FOOTBALL ... By Alan Mover

Cubs defend undefeated WIC ma rk against WiEey

Terre Haute Wiley’s Red Streaks plan on throwing Greencastle’s Tiger Cubs for a big Western Indiana Conference upset tomorrow night in the uptown gymnasium, but according to Cub coach Dave McCracken, “We've got the WIC lead and we aim to keep it.’’ Greencastle showed their stuff last weekend when Terre

Haute Garfield, then co-leader of the loop along with the Cubs, came to town for a showdown. The Tiger Cubs racked the Pur- > pie Eagles up 75-69 in a real 1 barn-burner and claimed undis-; puted first place in the hotly- j contested loop. They cling to a hearty 5-0 slate while Garfield is left with a 5-1 mark. Wiley is the team everyone'

says has the horses, but just can’t seem to pull them together. They have three 6-5 men, a 6-4 product, and three other players over 6-0. Holding down sixth in the conference and 7-5 overall, they were handed a defeat by Terre Haute Gerstmeyer Friday. 62-56. Greencastle needs this victory in the worst way in order to stay on top of the WIC race

and although the next three conference games are at home, they will be tough ones against the Red Streaks, Gerstmeyer and Sullivan. Linton is the final loop game scheduled and it is played there. Pete Norris led Greencastle to the Garfield win with a 22 point effort, good enough to keep his top ranking as the

high individual scorer in the WIC. He averages 26.4. In another race to the conference title Bainbridge looks as though they are going to repeat again this year with a Big Four title. The Pointers won with an undefeated 7-0 last season and they coast with a 6-0 slate thus far this season. The conference doesn’t worry Bainbridge this weekend since they are slated to play South Bend Riley. The

weekend when they whipped Reelsville, Bainbridge, and Russellville for the title, boast a 13-1 mark for the season. Reelsville, paced by classy 6-2 sophomore Ron Wallace who pumps in something like 16 a game, is still a winning ball club with a 7-6 slate.
