Russell wins?

The names are on the uniform may change but the story in the National Basketball Association remains the same: Bill Russell wins and Wilt Chamberlain loses. When Chamberlain decided to pick up his act and go to Los. Angeles where Jack Kent Cooke was waiting with arms full of money, the Lakers were sup. . ( posed to tear the NBA apart. With Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor and Jerry West on the same team, the Lakers wereimmediately made overwhelming favoSeals win The Chicago Black Hawks wish Carol Vadnais would have remained a defenseman. Vadnais, 23, who was picked up by the Oakland Seals from Montreal this year, has switched to left wing and scored two goals Friday night to pace the Seals to a 5-2 triumph over the Black Hawks. The loss ruined the Black Hawks' chance to take over first place in the Eastern Division of the National Hockey League and moved Oakland into a tie for first place with St. Louis in the West. Vadnais scored at 5:16 of the first period and 8:41 of the second for the Seals. Norm Ferguson, Bill Hicke and Gary Jarrett added the other Oakland goals. Bobby Hull and Ken Wharram scored for Chicago.

rites to win all the honors. But somehow, it isn’t working out that way. With the season eight games old, the Lakers are just another .500 club. And the old Boston Celtics, who are supposed to fall apart, continue to creak along to victories behind their aging leader, Russell. Russell blocked 14 shots and grabbed 30 rebounds Friday night as the Celtics blasted the Philadelphia 76ers 118-99 to boost theri record to 5-2. Meanwhile, the Lakers fell to 44 as they were beaten by the Chicago Bulls 114-101 despite a 29-point effort by Chamberlain. In the other three games, Cincinnati routed Milwaukee 132-114 behind Oscar Robertson, Baltimore topped New York 119103 and Atlanta beat San Francisco 109-105. The Bulls outscored Los Angeles 34-25 in the third period to take a lead they never lost as Flynn Robinson scored 10 of his 17 points in that period. Clem Haskins scored 13 of his 24 points in the final period and Bob Boozer had 21 for the Bulls.

LoseHomecoming31-0

Highlighted by a 40-yard field goal by Clinton’s Bob Reed, the rambling Wildcats of coach Jerry Chance handed the lowly Tiger Cubs their fourth consecutive shutout in the Western Indiana Conference 31-0. It took the visitors only one series and 12 plays to convince the Greencastle homecoming crowd who was going to control the game.

With ease Clinton rammed aui battered the Cub defense, using six different runners in the first half dozen plays. If speed and strength was one of the attributes of the Wildcats, it was well hidden in the controlled game they played. Seventy six plays were run by Clinton, and what breaks they didn’t make for themselves Greencastle made for them.

Waveland defeats Bees

LET ME HELP YOU--Defensive guard Tony Baynard appears to be cleaning off the football cleats of team-mate Darryl Pierce on the sidelines. Actually the pair landed there after chasing a Clinton player out-of-bounds.

WAVELAND — A good fastbreak offense and strong rebounding gave Waveland High School’s basketballer’s their first win of the season last night over Russellville, 78-42.

Though golf originated as a man’s game, it was played by Mary Queen of Scots as early as the 16th century. She called the boys who fetched her golt balls “cadets.” a title given to the younger sons of French nobilitv who served as her pages.

Bad hues from center, short punts and fumbles set the Wildcats up on three of their scoring junk i ts. After the quick scoring in the first half it was time for Clinton to experiment. Using Marvin Keown a 5-6, 145 pounder at both halfback and quarterback Clinton dominated the play giving the Cubs only 34. Sophomore Keown and starting quarterback Bill Somerville combined for 11 of 17 second half passes picking up 100 yards. The statistics are not impressive overall, but the execution with which Clinton out its play was. Using an assorted running backs and plays, Clinton picked up yardage at will. Defensively the Wildcats were impressive too. It marked the third shut-out and seventh game the Wildcats have kept a team under two touchdowns. In fact, only high scoring Terre Haute Schulte has scored more than seven points against the 6-2 club. The win moved Clinton to a 4-2 W.I.C. mark, while coach Jim McCammon’s squad dropped to 1-5 in the league. One bright spot among the melee was the appearance of four freshmen in the Tiger Cub line up. Yearling linebacker Gary Brewster was credited for 13 tackles. Twice Brewster dropped Somerville for losses. Other frosh to see varsity action was David Greelee at safety, Bill Chester at linebacker and Mike Buchanan. Other fine defensive plays were turned in by Rich Lear, John Zeller and John Gough. Next week the Cubs travel to Honey Creek to wind up the 1968 campaign and hopes of getting another W.I.C. victory.
