The Blue Devils led by Randy Knox and Rick Thomas, broke away from the Indians in the second half to earn their second victory of the season. Ron Wallace with 23 points and Will Rowan with 19 led all scorers. Together the two boys scored all but 11 of the Reelsville markers. Van Buren had much more balanced scoring. Knox and Thomas had good scoring support from Jim Lawrence with 13 points and Terry Harper with 9. Reelsville’s defensive was troubled with 21 fouls to Van Buren’s 14. The game gave Reelsville its first loss for the season. Next week the Indians play at North Salem, while Van Buren will host Fillmore. Score by Quarters Reelsville 14.28-39.53 Van Buren 17-31-50-68

outtings that Fillmore has an unbeaten team and lost. Tuesday night, the Cardinals lost to always-tough Cloverdale, 91-64. The Pointers used a good stick defense in handing Fillmore their second straight loss and also dominated the boards on offense and defense. With Cox again leading his teammates with 26 saves. Mike Miller was the second-leading rebounder as he

retreived 10.

This plus the sticky and harassing Bainbridge defense played

a major part in the lopsided victory. Both teams appeared to be a little rattled, because of the packed house which was verifled by a sign on the front door, which read, “Sorry, Sold out”. And indeed they were as rooters from each cheering section whooped it up before, during and after the game. Even if a team does come off the boards with a rebound, they still have to know what to do with

it in order cu Win. And the Pointers knew exactly where it belonged, as they raced to their third consecutive victory. It was the superior rebounding ability and fast break that gave the Pointers the win over crosscounty rival, and afterwards in the dressing room, Bainbridge Coach Pat Rady was extremely elated over the lopsided victory. “We figured to really have our hands full tonight,” said i ady. Our fast break and our rebounding were the keys to our victory. I just hope it continues.” Many times during the contest, the pesky Bainbridge defense would cause the Cardinals to throw the ball away. It was more of the same on the boards, as 6-foot, 11-inch Fred Cox was always up in the air about something. While Cox stands at the towering mark on the yardstick, the Cardinals’ tallest player is Rick Humphries who stands at 6-foot, 3-inches mark, a difference of eight valuable rebounding inches. At the charity stripe, Fillmore canned 21 of 28 attempts for a well-respected .750 mark. However, from the field Fillmore attempted 73 shots, but made only 27 for a .329 average. For Bainbridge, the Pointers shot a sizzling .458 and canned 18 of 30 free throw attempts for a .600 mark. High point men for Fillmore were ace guard Dan Puckett with 27, John Tharp with 22, and Dan Clark with 12. Bill Simmons also contributed 10-points in the losing

cause.

The Pointers were pointed toward victory last night which they now have. The Bainbridge Cagers may be pointing for even greater honors as the season progresses. In the reserve game, Bainbridge also was victorious, winning 4826 to complete the evening sweep. Scored by Quarters Fillmore 20.13-20.12-75 Bainbridge 26.15.34-29-104

Hanratty, Domres catch scouts’ eyes

NEW YORK (UPI)—When pro scouts report on the nation’s leading college quarterbacks, two names invariably head the list. One is Terry Hanratty, who led Notre Dame to a national championship as a sophomore and who has been smashing records since. The other is Columbia’s Marty Domres. Domres, a 6-foot-5, 215pounder from Syracuse, N.Y., has all but rewritten Ivy League passing records. He holds nine league records going into today's game against Pennsylvania and is within reach of five more. Domres is also only 75 plays short of the mark for career total offense play — 1,901— set by Billy Stevens of Texas-El Paso two years ago. Records are often misleading, but pro scouts flock to see the rangy passer whom Coach Frank Navarro calls, “unquestionably the best college quarterback in the country. I’d take him over anyone,” insists Navarro, “Hanratty included.” Amazing Record The bevy of records is even more amazing when one considers that Domres passed up numerous scholarship offers in order to be able to concentrate on his studies. “Before my senior year in high school,” said Dmores, “my parents and I got together and decided that my education would come first with football taking a secondary role. I was approached by all the Ivy League schools and most of the major colleges in the East, but I decided on Columbia after seeing it on my first trip to New York.” He enrolled at Columbia as an ordinary student, since Ivy League schools are not permitted to award athletic scholarships. It has been difficult for Domres to avoid a loser’s complex, playing for a Columbia team which has won only five games in his three-year varsity career. “It’s hard, I admit it,” said Domres, “but you just have to work hard and try to avoid being complacent.

You just keep on trying to improve yourself and hope for the best.” Domres credits Navarro, who took over the head coaching job from Buff Donelli last year, for much of his success. “He’s made a lot of physical improvements to build the morale of the players tremendously. He got us a new practice field with new lighting, new uniforms. All this helped develop a closer rapport between the players.” Wants to be Pro Domres, expected to be a first round draft choice when the pro leagues select players in January, says he definitely is looking forward to playing “I think I can do it,” he explained. “I don’t think I've come anywhere near my full potential yet. I feel there’s much room for improvement.” Domres holds league game records for pass attempts (53), completions (28), passing yardage (396) and total offense (447) and season marks for attempts (477), completions (250), passing yardage (3,128) and total offense (3,678). Domres needs only 165 yards to become only the 10th player in college football history to amass over 5,000 yards in total offense. His 1968 totals rank him fourth in the nation in total offense and sixth in passing, but statistics mean little to Domres. “The records are nice, but I just wish we could win a few games instead.” Cernauskas scores 30 Ben Cernauskas got 30 points for Morgan Township in a 92-70 loss to Lacrosse; Rick Ralph scored 28 in Wheeler’s rout of Washington Township of Porter County, 90-65 as Dave Saylor hit 28 for the losers; Greg Clapp hit 27 as Kouts beat DeMotte, 66-58; and Mike Lyond led Lawrenceburg’s 74-59 win overSouth Ripley, scoring 28 points.

winless Philadelphia. This Sunday, paired against Dallas and its renowned “Doomsday D e f e n s e,” Jurgensen is exchanging the heavy vest for a lighter one. That seems like just the opposite approach to take, since most rival quarterbacks—after being dumped on the ground all day by the hard-rushing Dallas defense— would think more seriously about strengthening the protection. For Jurgensen, it’s another story. He needs the protector for his injured ribs, but was unable to manipulate against the Eagles last week and took himself out of the game after only six passes. The Cowboys are 13-point favorites over Washington, but that is little solace to Dallas coach Tom Landry. Just a week ago the Cowboys were sailing along with a two-game lead over New York and were favored by 17, in a face-to-face confrontation, to extend it to three games and virtually wrap up the Capitol Division crown. Instead, the Giants won 27-21, and Landry now will claim no more for the Cowboys other than “we are a contender in the The three other NFL divisions are even tighter. Baltimore and Los Angeles are tied for the Coastal Division lead, Chicago and Minnesota are deadlocked for the Central Division lead, and Cleveland holds a one-half game edge over St. Louis in the Century Division.

High School

Scores

By United Press International The small-town teams had the spotlight Friday night but the big-city powers begin taking over the Indiana high school basketball stage next week. The little schools which do not field football teams begin their hardwood campaigns in early November, while the big schools for the most part played foot, ball up until last weekend. Rosedale apparently will have one of the state’s leading scorers in Joe Hendrix, who threw in 51 points in a 91-77 victory over Terre Haute State. Hendrix, a 6-5 center, has veen averaging 42 points a game so far in the early going. South Decatur won its first basketball game in history. The school, a first - year consolidation of Jackson Township, Burney and Sandereek, shattered Edinburg, 71-29. Westview needed Chris Thompson’s 41 points to gain a 70-67 victory over Wawasee.
