Two North Putnam Community School head basketball coaches have handed in their resignations with hopes of landing positions in larger schools. Carl Treece, Roachdale head mentor, and ^ohn Hutchinson, Russellville's varsity basketball coach, made the announcements about their resignations today. Treece said he was leaving Roachdale with the intention of staying in coaching, but in a larger or consolidated school. “I don’t have any particular place in mind right now,” he said, “but I’m looking.” While at Roachdale Treece compiled a varsity basketball record of 17 wins and 23 losses. Before that he coached junior high basketball at Tipton and claimed a 19-4 winning record. He has a Masters Degree from
Purdue in Science and has served as secretary-treasurer for the Putnam County Coaches Association. John Hutchinson turned in a respectible 9-12 record at Russellville this year and expressed hopes of finding a spot in a larger school too. Probably the highlight of the season came when his team whipped Fillmore in the County Tourney and then had Cloverdale licked for a half game in the final.

It was John’s first attempt at basketball. Before hand he had coached football in Michigan. His overall record there was 19-12-1 and his team finished second in the conference every year but one. John is planning on staying in basketball, but will switch to football if he sees a chance for a good job.

It may be the cinder season, but it looks as though basketball is going to die hard especially for one young college freshman who matriculated at Greencastle a year or so ago. Mike Troyer, one of the most proficient scorers in the history Df GHS, will be a most welcomed addition to the University of Washington basketball team next season. One of the best, if not the best, outside shooters to play for the Huskies, Troyer will join a young and promising varsity squad next season after shattering the freshmen scoring records this past year. The 5-10 sharpshooter from the Midwest, as they say out there in apple land, not only broke the individual frosh single game scoring record twice this season but also erased the season scoring mark for Husky yearlings. In 21 games, Troyer scored 483 points, an average of 23.0. That output far surpassed the old mark of 402 points (19.1 average) established two years ago by another eagle-eye guard,
Gary Ostenson.
Midway through the past campaign, Troyer broke the single game record with a fantastic 46-point performance in a 110-106 loss to the freshmen from the University of Puget Sound. A few weeks later, in enemy territory, Mike put on an unforgettable show, pouring in 52 points in a losing effort to the University of Oregon freshmen, considered by many as the top rookie crop on the coast. In his blazing performance against the Ducklings from Oregon, Troyer hit on nearly every conceivable type of shot, and wound up the game by connecting on 18 of 30 field goal attempts, sixty-percent, and making good 16 of 17 tosses from the charity line. Only once last season did the opposition keep the Indiana youngster out of the double figure columns, and that came against Oregon State’s frosh when Troyer hit his season low of nine points. In addition to his 46 and 52 point performances, Troyer scored in the 30’s twice and the 20’s six times, and shot a commendable 44 percent for the season from the floor and 72 percent from the foul line. The big advantage Mike enjoys over many sharp-shooting guards is his ability to shoot on the run, going to or away from the basket. Although he favors the jump shot (and well he should) he has learned other shots to help him inside where the big men prey the basket. Although most freshmen find they have a lot to learn before they make the transition to topnotch varsity competition, Mike has adjusted well to other facets
of the game.
“I think he has shown he can do just about everything asked of him on the court,” commented his freshman coach, Lynn Nance.

“I know he will help the varsity a lot next season, but I sure hate to lose him on our club.” Before too long, there may be a number of opposing coaches who wish Mike Troyer would remain a freshman forever. Rick Ford makes All-Stars Cloverdale’s star Rick Ford, most recently voted as Putnam County’s Most Valuable Player and winner of that award, has been selected as one of Indiana’s All-Star high school basketball players slated to play Kentucky this year. Word was obtained from an unofficial, but very reliable source. Ford is supposed to get acquainted with some selected teammates tonight in Indianapolis. One of them is said to be Carmel’s Billy Shepherd. An official release on the subject should be forthcoming from officials within a week or ten days. Swim record MOSCOW (UPI) - Russia’s Vladimir Kosinsky shattered the world record ^n the 200 meter breaststroke Wednesday with a 2:27.4 clocking in a duel meet against East Germany. The time was four-tenths of a second better than the market set by Jan O’Brien of Australia in the 1964 Olympics at Tokyo.
The official entry list for the 52nd annual 500-mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on May 30 reached 46 today with the registration of four cars by Robert C. Wilkeof Leader Cards, Inc., Milwaukee, Wis. Two of the cars will run as Rislone Specials and one of them will be driven by Bobby Unser of Albuquerque, N.M. Jud Phillips will be the chief mechanic on
both of the cars sponsored by Rislone, but no driver has been selected for the second car. Ford V-8 racing engines will be used in the Leader Card Racers and similar units are available for the other two Wilke entries, but he indicated that four-cylinder turbocharged Offenhauser engines may be installed in the Rislone Specials. Unser, who won the recent
Vegas, Nev., will be making his sixth “Indy” appearance this year. He finished eighth in 1966 and ninth in 1967. In addition
to his ninth-place finish in the “500” last year, Unser won two USAC big car races and placed sixth or better in 11 other USAC Championship events
