A new gym, and an old battle

GREENCASTLE HIGH SUIOOL BASKETBALL mentor Dave McCracken gets a look at tlie 19G8-G9 edition of varsity cagers tonight in the annual Tiger-Cub pre-season intra-squad game scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m, in the downtown gymnasium. At 8 p.m., the GHS faculty will take to the hardwood in a game against the ‘G8 football players, which should be something that the students get more out of than the adults who attend. Incidently, Ben-Gay is have a special town-wide sale of its muscle-soothing product Saturday morning. Any buyers? Getting back to this year’s Tiger-Cub varsity squad, McCracken isn’t leaning on the fact that lie lost 11 seniors through the June cap and gown ceremonies for an excuse if this year’s cagers fail to make the grade, rather he is slightly optimistic.

No crying towel for McCracken “LOSING 11 SENIORS AND HAVING TO REPLACE them from a club that reached the semi-finals in state tournament play last year is a hard thing to do, but we have some boys who are really scrapping in practices so far this year and have shown they want to play ball,” McCracken. Regardless of the fact that he has only one letterman returning, McCracken feels that after the Tiger-Cubs have a few games under the belts, they will be a team not to be taken lightly. “For the first three or four games, the ones who came to us after football season will still be playing on the football field and not the basketball floor,” McCracken theorized. “After that, I think we’re going to have a pretty good team.” After cornering the busy coach for a few minutes, a trip over to the new home of the Tiger-Cubs, the 5,000 plus gymnasium where workmen were putting what looked to be the final touches on the structure, McCracken said that he was hopeful that the new gym would be ready for the first home game, but added that there were quite a e but added that there were quite a few tilings to be done yet. A word of note avout the opener, the Tiger-Cubs will face Cloverdale, unbeaten to date. That will be only the second game for McCracken’s gang and will be played on Saturday, Nov. 30, following next Wednesday’s opener at rival Crawfordsville, whom McCracken terms as, “One of the top five teams we’ll play this year.” Regardless of how the Tiger-Cubs come along this year, and with McCracken at the helm it’s a pretty good bet that it won’t be in the bottom half of the conference, a rough schedule is on tap plus a new home and acting as host to the state Sectional starting next February 26.

All-out ‘War’ at Purdue

ALTHOUGH BOTH IU AND PURDUE are out of the running for the Big Ten Conference crown, and for Purdue, a trip to the Rose Bowl, a sell-out crowd is anticipated Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium for the annual Old Oaken Bucket tilt between the two state football powers. In what probably was the upset of the season last year, John Font’s amazing Hoosiers slapped the Boilermakers in the face, 19 to 14. That victory not only gave them a share of the Big Ten crown, but it also gave them a trip to the- Rose Bowl classic which Hoosier fans have been dreaming of ever since the pigskin was invented. The Boilermakers are boiling (excuse the pun) mad this year and want that old worn “Bucket” back. This game has been sold out since Spring, so ifyou are planning to go, you had better have a ticket or know someone who works the ticket gate. Or if either of these don’t pan out, you might be able to borrow a “Marching 100” uniform from some guy down in Bloomington or dress up as Purdue’s Golden Girl. On second thought, forget both. IU’s “Marching 100” uniforms will be in use Saturday, and anyone who can dress up as the Golden Girl, well...that will be a pretty hard act to follow. One of the cameras from the “Banner” will be there Saturday on the field which should make for a pretty good picture. There will also be a person in the pressbox (namely me) to get a first-hand look at this year’s clash, and, acting as “nonprejudice” (?) as possible. A couple of predictions, and don’t cut them out and mail them to me if I’m wrong ( which NEVER happens), look for the Hoosiers to nail down the Boilermakers again, injury-laden though they are, with Harry Gonso directing the plays in the final seconds. As for the Rose Bowl deciding game between Michigan and Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio, make it the Wolverines 20, OSU 18. Michigan’s Ron Johnson has to be the greatest halfback in the conference and the country, and the Buckeyes, great and unbeaten as they are, will fail to stop Coach Bump Elliott’s fabulous runner.

IU-Purdue battle just for ‘kicks’ tomorrow?

J.B. LAWSON RICK THOMAS RANDY KNOX

TRIPPLE SCORING THREAT Fillmore High School can expect plenty of trouble from these three Van Buren High School basket ball players in tonight's game at Van Buren. Recently, these three cagers all

hit in double figures, with two of them tossing in 18 points and the other adding 13 points. From left are, Rick Thomas. Randy Knox and J.B. Lawson. Thomas and Knox each tallied 18 while Lawson came

through with 13.

By KURT FREUDENTHAL INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—They played for all the marbles last year, but Saturday’s IndianaPurdue football renewal, their 71st meeting, is only for kicks and personal prestige. Last year was Indiana’s time to shine and the underdog Hoosiers came up with a 19-14 upset that dispatched them into the Rose Bowl for the first time, against national champion Sou-

thern California.

This time it was supposed to have been Purdue—and with good reason. All-America Leroy Keyes was back, as were fullback Perry Williams and quarterback Mike Phipps, only a junior, and they operated behind

a fearsome big line. Bombed By OSU

It looked like Purdue's year, all right, and the Boilermakers w j ere ranked tops in the country

By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI)—Cineinnati catcher Johnny Bench today w r as named the National League's Rookie of the Year for 19G8 after edging pitcher Jerry Koosman of the New York Mets by a single vote. In the closest balloting since the award was instituted 20 years ago, Bench received 10 1 - votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America to 9'for Koosman, a 24-year.old lefthander who won 19 games. Bench thus becomes the first catcher in either league to win the rookie award. “It's just a great thrill, I can't tell you how great I really feel,” said Bench, who re. mained in Cincinnati this winter to work for the Reds' Speaker’s Bureau. “I knew it was going to be a tough choice and I knew Recovers NEW YORK (UPI) - Gil Hodges, popular manager of the New York Mets, says he expects to be fully recovered from his heart attack by midFebruary and resume manager, ial duties of the National League club. Hodges, who suffered the attack last September while the Mets were playing in Atlanta, said his doctors saw no reason why he couldn't return to handling the Mets in spring trainine.

Jerry had a great year. I was hoping I would just luck out, and right now I’m very excited.” Split Ballot Indicative oi the unusually tough choice facing the selector was the first split ballot in the history of the award. Although voting is on a secret ballot basis, because of his unique vote Jim Enright of the Chicago American requested that his split ballot be made public.

“In all fairness I could not vote for one and ignore the other,” said. “Bench starred in one oi the toughest positions on the field and for a kid of 20, he did a magnificent job all year. In an era when everyone complains that there are no young catchers coming up, Bench looks like a tailor-made star. “On the other hand, how can you overlook the job Koosman did winning 19 games for a ninth place club. He didn't just win 19 either. He had seven shutouts and he also had one of the best earned run averages in the league.” Barely Qualifies Bench, who once had a 16. game winning streak while a high school pitcher, barely qualified for the Rookie-of-the-Year citation. Only a lateseason injury in 1967 limited his official at.bats to 86, and if he had gone to the plate five more times he would not have been eligible for the first-year prize this season. The husky 6-1, 195-pound righthander got off to an indifferent start in 1968 but picked up in time to finish with a .275 batting average, 15 home

runs and 82 runs-batted-in. He had hit only .163 with one homer in 26 games with the Reds in 1967.

after knocking off Notre Dame and Northwestern. But their star took a nose dive after the 13-0 loss at Ohio State and it plummeted to the ground when Minnesota applied the crusher, 27-13, four weeks later. Indiana couldn’t go to the Rose Bowl, a fact that took some incentive from the Hoosiers’ effort. Both, however, check in with 4-2 Big Ten records to be tied for third place. Purdue is 7-2 overall, Indiana

6-3.

Some overly optimistic oddsmakers installed host Purdue an 18-point choice in this timehonored, ancient rivalry for a moss-covered bucket— a margin that puzzles others—especially since the physical fitness of several key players on both sides was in doubt. “This game will be decided by the defense,” said Bob DeMoss, Purdue’s acting head coach. Spirit Via Buttons The entire Purdue gang sported “Remember lapel” buttons this week, presumably to get geared sky high for the invading Hoosiers. But even DeMoss, subbing for the ailing veteran Jack Mollenkopf, and who had his share of “bucket” thrills as Purdue’s quarterback, didn't

Capitols seek bigger fortunes in playoffs

ORLANDO, Fla. (UPI)-The Indianapolis Capitols—who won a divisional crown in their first year of existence—go for bigger game Saturday against Orlando in a semi-final game of the Continental Football League championship playoffs. When the Caps knocked off Michigan, 34-3 last Saturday, they became the first expansion team in the history of pro sports to win any sort of championship. Coach Bob Snyder's squad reigns as CFL Central Division winner. The Panthers beat Indianapolis, 28-21, in a preseason exhibition game, and the winner of the rematch Saturday meets Orange County, California, for the league crown. It will be a battle of the loop’s top rushing club against the CFL’s No. 1 passing team. The Caps gained 1,939 yards on the ground, or 4.8 per carry, while the Panthers passed for 2,860 yards, a 9.3 average. “We can't go down there expecting to shut 'em off,” Snyder said. “They're too tough. They run great patterns. If we had two weeks to get ready, maybe we could reduce their effectiveness. But it looks as if we’ll have to work toward ball control and hope we can outscore them.” Quarterback Don Jonas and flanker Tom Bland make up the heart of the Orlando aerial attack.

The Caps have two ol the league’s top rushers in Gene Wren and Roger Lopes. Wren was third with a 6.1 yard per carry average and Lopes was sixth with a 4.0 average. Quarterback Frank Stavroff carries passing credentials, too. Stavroff completed 110 of 235 attempts for 1,650 yards and 14 touchdowns. Tight end Roy Winston caught 31 passes and Joe Wynns pulled in 27. Orlando was 10-2 for the regular season and Indianapolis 8-4.

think it’ll take much to get his players “up.” “We’ll be ready—all of us,” he said. “It’s been a disappointing year, but we came back strong at Michigan State last week and I’m sure our players will carry over Saturday against Indiana,” DeMoss said. Some of the key players out with injuries include halfback Jim Kirkpatrick and defensive end Dennis Wirgorski for Purdue. Keyes hasn’t been at his best since mid-season injuries and Phipps also was hurt. Indiana lost star halfback John Isenbarger, also the Hoosiers’ ace punter; linebacker Jim Sniadecki and halfbacks Rick Thompson and Bob Pernell were slowed by injuries.
