WIC foe Gerstmeyer in town tomorrow

Cubs must win

Olympic skating star moves closer to gold today

By FRANK PUCKETT. JR. Banner Sports Editor There's only a couple of weeks left in regular season competition for high school basketball teams before the state tournament gets underway, but those few remaining games play an important part in the role of Greencastle's successful season plan. The Tiger Cubs have three games remaining, the most important one coming up tomorrow night when Terre Haute Gerstmeyer moves Into the uptown gymnasium. The Cubs must beat the Black Cats to protect their Western Indiana Conference lead they now hold with a 6-1 record. Gerstmeyer ranks third in the loop with a 7-2 mark. The win would give the Cubs the championship with a 7-1 mark — that is. temporarily. The only hitch to the victory scheme is Linton. The Miners hold down second place in the hotly-disputed loop with a 5-1

GRENOBLE, France UPI — Peggy Fleming, two-time U.S. figure skating champion, sought to extend her commanding lead in the wrapup of the compulsory figures today and move another step closer to a gold medal in the 10th Winter Olympic Games. The pretty 19-year-old Colorado College student from Colorado Springs put on a brilliant display Wednesday to pile up 373.4 points for a 30.4 lead over her top rival, Gabrielle Seyfert of East Germany, In the first two compulsory figures.

Her performance was about all the U. S. fans had to be happy about Wednesday. Billy Kidd of Stowe, Vt, the Yanks’ leading skier, suffered a badly sprained ankle during a practice run and is a very doubtful starter for today’s downhill competition. Also, the U.S. hockey team, which has suffered two straight defeats, also lost forward Craig Falkman of Golden Valley, Minn. He set up one goal and scored another before breaking his

right ankle in the Yanks’ 4-3 loss to Sweden. Miss Fleming’s lead in the compulsory figures, which count 60 per cent of the overall standings, gave her an excellent chance at the Olympic title since she is especially strong in the free skating, which will conclude the event Saturday right. A fter Wednesday’s competition, another U.S. gal, Albertina Noyes of Arlington, Mass., ranked fourth with 322.5 points, only 3.1 points ahead of Mana Maskova, 18, of Czechoslovakia, the reigning European champion. Next best for the U.S. was 15-year-old Janet Lynn of Rockford, HI., in 19th place with 130 points. Meanwhile at Chamerousse. Jean-Claude Killy of France was favored to capture the blue

men’s downhill. He drew the unfavorable 14th position for the 2,890-meter trail, which drops 840 meters. U.S. ski Coach Bob Beattie said Kidd had only a one per cent chance to compete today and only a 50-50 shot at next week’s slalom and giant slalom. Kidd, the only American seeded among the top 15, was set to go off 12th. The U.S. was represented by Jere Elliott of Steamboat Springs, Colo., James Burrows of Steamboat Springs and Dennis McCoy of Bishop, Calif. They had starting positions of 17, 20 and 26. The downhill was the only gold medal event to be decided today. The two-man bobsleds at Alpe d’Huez were set to go off— weather permitting — following

The games got underway In sensational fashion Wednesday when Franco Nones, 27-year-old Italian customs guard, upset a squad of Scandinavians to win the 30-kilometer cross country ski event in one hour, 35 minutes and 38.2 seconds.

Mavericks are spoilers; Pacers win 5th straight By United Press International The Houston Mavericks have become the spoilers of the American Basketball Association as far as the Pittsburgh Pipers are concerned. The Mavericks are “long gone” in last place of the Western Division but they beat the Pipers 133-112 Wednesday night and knocked them out of first place in the East, a half-game behind the idle Minnesota Mus-

kies.

W'illie Somerset led the Mavericks with 28 points and Jerry Pettway added 23 while Chico Vaughn had 30 points for t]

Pipers.

mark and have three more conference games to play. If they win all three then they will claim the championship with an 8-1 record because they play nine games where Greeneastle plays only eight. Linton contends with West Vigo, who was beaten by lowly Sullivan Tuesday 71-63. Brazil, and Honey Creek. Brazil is the only team among the three that has turned in a winning season. However Linton does the Cubs will still have to knock off the Gerstmeyer crew. The Black Cats are 9-8 overall, but the mark is misleading since they have played some of the state’s top teams and were beaten by slim margins. Among those teams were Lafayette Jefferson. Vincennes, Crispus Attucks. Indianapolis Washington and Indianapolis Manual. They're not especially a big team, their biggest man a 6-4 junior, but they possess a lot of speed and shooting ability according to scouting reports. Coach Howard Sharp is the veteran mentor who has led his team to eight conference titles, including three consecutive in 1962-3-and 4. Greeneastle hopes to get back on the winning side and better their 12-5 record since leading scorer and rebounder Pete Norris is back in good shape. Norris was hurt two wrecks ago and just got back to contact practicing this week. He w f as accompanied on the in-

jured list by guards Don Irwin and Jay Frye, both starters for Dave McCracken's squad. Irwin re-injured a knee and played the Linton game under heavy bandage and Frye came down with the flu, supportint; a 102-temperature at game time, and wasn’t able to dress for the tilt. In another conference, the Big Four, undefeated Bain* bridge has to sit back and wait for co-leader Darlington to foul up. The Pointers have turned in an undefeated 7-0 loop mark for the second year in a row and are finished, but Darlington has a 6-0 record and ha» two more games to play. The Big Four is different than some conferences and the championship trophy will be shared if both teams hand in undefeated ( records. The Pointers take their overall 14-3 record to Ladoga Sat- ( urday night and then finish out the season against Russellville next week. Among area games tomorrow night Reelsville's Indians will place their 8-8 record on the line against Williamsport. Fillmore takes their 11-6 mark to 9-9 Turkey Run. 17-1 Cloverdale hosts Edgewood. and 6- 10 Roachdale plays host to 7- 9 Ladoga. Saturday night games are Cloverdale at Fillmore, Bainbridge at Ladoga, and Russellville (9-9) against New Ross at Waveland.
