Tiger Cub reserves gamble—win

Paga f

Greencastie's reserves gambled last night and it paid off big as they captured the championship of a four-way invitational tournament held at Rockville

To play or not to play - Brown PHILADELPHIA UPI —To play or not to play. That’s the question for Timmy Brown, the actor-football player. Brown, whose career as a National Football League running back had been filled with frustration with the Philadelphia Eagles, got a chance for a new starring role when he was traded to the Baltimore Colts for punt and kickoff returner

Alvin Haymond.

The Colts, who only lost one game all last season, need a running back of Brown’s caliber and he could be a smashing

success with them.

by knocking off the host Rox in a heated overtime session of the final game, 63-58. The Cubs had to beat Schulte in the first round Monday evening and Rockville emerged winner over Garfield in the same round, matching the two in the

championship tilt.

Greencastle trailed the first two quarters. 12-7 at the first stop and 24-19 at the halftimfe intermission, but came back the second half of the contest and hit a blistering 58 per cent from the floor and managed to tie it up at the end of regulation time. The Cubs were down 5246 with 1:04 showing on the | clock and coach Gary Myers decided to gamble by throwing I his team into a desperation man-to-man press. The gamble paid off and Dan Murphy slipped through two big free throws at the 19 second mark to tie the game at 52-52.

When they came back in the overtime the Cubs dropped back into a zone defense and concentrated on their own offense. They outscored the Rox 11-6. Bill Lear had sLx points, Dennis Losin had four, and Tony Harmless had two points. Lear was the big man in the scoring department for the victorious Cubs as he tossed in 21 points. Tony Harmless got 13 points in the contest—all of them coming in the second half. Murphy’s two free throws were the clinchers and Daryl Pierce’s 15 rebounds made things a lot easier. Overall the Cubs hit 24 of 48 for an even 50 per cent and Rockville hit a honey of a 51 percentage with 26 of 51 shots. Greencastle had 14 free throws counted on the scoreboard while the Rox had only 6. Rebounds also went to the lo-

cal team. 37-30. The win boosted the Cubs win total to 13 against only one loss this season. It came against Martinsville, 49-50. Garfield won the consolation contest over Schulte, 63-62, in a double overtime. Individual summaries: Tiger Cubs (68) FG FT PF Pierce 3 2 D.

But Brown, who may be following the footsteps of former Cleveland star Jimmy Brown, also has a budding singing and acting career and he’s been talking of retiring from football to devote all his talents to show business. With a chance to star on a new team, and a good one, Brown may be persuaded to ■lay.

Frustrated Flyers flabbergasted; Cloverdale scores

By FRANK PUCKETT, JR. Banner Sports Editor

Cloverdale scored twelve players last night against New Market with Rick Ford and Ron Barker leading the way 1 when they combined for 57 points in a routing of the visiting Flyers that found coach A1 : Tucker emptying his bench as early as midway in the second ; period. The victory was the sixteenth in seventeen outings for the Putnam County Champions and

was by far their easiest The Clovers started the coni test by hitting New Market with a 3-2 zone press, featuring big Ford up front, and the Flyers had seven turn overs of the ball in the first four minutes. Cloverdale buzzed to a 36-11 first stop lead. As the home floor Clovers took up action in the second period New Market abandoned their ideas about putting a box and one on Ford and started concentrating on the rest of the Clover crew—to no avail. Cloverdale scored 21 points and the Flyers 8 even though Tucker had emptied his bench at the

5:00 mark.

The Flyers had three different defenses during the tussle. They started with a box and one concentrating on Ford, but Cloverdale took advantage of it by throwing the ball underneath to Barker who picked up 13 points the first period. Once they tried a man-to-man, briefly, and then reverted to a zone. The Flyers tried to hold the

ball toward the end of the contest, but without success. All twelve Cloverdale players scored easily with Ford picking up 32 and Barker netting 25. | Bill Steele picked up 13 points. Dave Sowder was the only New | Market player to score in double figures. He had 15 points. The Clovers hit 48 of 94 field

goals, 51 per cent, and 13 of 20 from the free throw line, 65 per cent. New Market could connect on only 15 of 42 shots from the field and 16 of 18 free throws. Rebounds went to the much larger Clover team. 38-17. Russellville is the next opponent on the Clover schedule. The game is slated for Friday night in the Russellville gym-

Rough Riders retain first place in balloting

Starting early in the second half with a mixed five Cloverdale abandoned the press and dropped back into a zone defense. New Market found it too much and managed only 11 points while the Clovers slipped through 30 more points. With the score standing at 87-30 at the end of the third period Cloverdale tossed in 24 more points in the final period while New Market had their biggest stanza, scoring 16 points.

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Rough Riders of East Chicago Roosevelt retained first place today in the UPI Indiana high .school basketball coaches’ board ratings, with Indianapolis Washington their top chal-

lenger.

Roosevelt, which took over top honors last week on the strength of its perfect record, received 13 of 18 first-place ! votes for 166 out of a possible 180 points in balloting for games through last Saturday. Only two other quintets. Columbus and Indianapolis Shortridge, clung to last week’s posi-

tions and Evansville Reitz, a “Big 10’’ member early in the season, rejoined the select circle as Marion was demoted. Indianapolis Washington, 17-1 and boasting an 11-game winning streak, replaced Lafayette in the runnerup slot wtih 149 points, just 17 less than the undefeated Riders got, although coach Jerry Oliver’s club obtained just three first-place votes. Washington, tied for third place last week, stepped up after its second close victory over sixth-place Shortridge. Columbus was alone in third

; place with 131 points and Lafayette was dropped to fourth although the Broncos won twice i last week. Michigan City, like Washington. Columbus and Lafayette bested only once this season, climbed from seventh position to fifth. Also elevated were Vincen- | nes, Shelbyville and Reitz. Vin-
