Reelsville slams Clay City, 73 -51 at home

REELSVILLE — Reelsville High School safely tucked away their sixth victory of the season to go with three losses last night, downing Clay City, 73-51 behind the superb playmaking of Ron Wallace who finished with 27points. Coach Dave Bussing’s rampaging Indians streaked out to a 20-7 first-quarter lead, and appeared to be on their way to an easy win. The Clay City ball club had other ideas, however, as they closed the gap to a mere three-

points at halftime, 29-26. In the third period RHS tallied 23-points while Clay could manage but 11, which found the hosts taking a 52-37 lead into the final quarter and eventual victory. Only one other Indian eager finished in double figures, and that was none other than Will Rowan who still holds the county scoring mark with 41-points. For the visiting Clay City quintet, they also had two boys in the double figures column, Heaton with 14 and R. Francis with 10. Reelsville, gaining a reputa-

tion for winning about every other game, treks to Monrovia tonight and will be hoping to return to its Putnam County surroundings.

Commenting on last night’s

hardwood contest, Bussing said, “Our offensive attack let down somewhat but our defense picked up and played a good game.”

“The reason for this is,” the

hardwood boss continued, “is probably because we concentrated on defense this week after giving up so many points in our

two games last weekend.” Nevertheless, Bussing con-

fessed that it was abetter feeling to win a game than lose a game.

NEW YORK (UPI)—Sunday is a good day to catch up on some sleep. Apparently a lot of people in the country did last Sunday because a horrible mistake was made in Los Angeles and more than nine million persons witnessed it clearly but not a single one was aware of what he had seen. Norm Schachter and his officiating crew needn’t feel badly about missing that allimportant down which maybe cost the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday’s game with the Chicago Bears. Schachter and his five crewmen had a lot of company. CBS televised the contest and reports approximately nine million viewed it on their screens. CBS further reports it didn’t receive a SINGLE call asking about or protesting the action of the game officials, who ruled incorrectly it was second down

instead of first down again for the Rams after they were penalized 15 yards for holding following an incompleted pass. Everybody, it seems, was asleep Sunday. Nine Million Didn’t See Mistake Among those nine million TV viewers were some of the highest officials in the NFL and not one of them noticed the mistake, either. The eye-witnesses on the scene were just as bad. Maybe worse. There were 66,368 fans in the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, a vast majority presumably partial to the Rams, but not one sent any word to their bench pointing out the officials owed them another down. George Allen, head coach of the Rams, wasn’t aware of the error nor was any member of his coaching staff.

DePauw.

In the next two-minutes and 12seconds, the Tigers went on a scoring spree and netted, 13points while Wheaton could manage but two, putting DePauw in front, 89-79. The rest of the game was a runaway as Wheaton could chalk up only eight-points while the Tigers ran off 20-markers. In game stats, the Tigers continued to hit in the .500 bracket as they clicked on 44 of 82 attempts from the field for a nifty .537 percentage. At the free throw line, the Bengals zeroed in even better, clicking on 21 of 24 charity

tosses.

For Wheaton, the Crusaders finished with a respectable .469 mark and a not-so-envied .550 mark from the free throw line. In the nightcap, Bucknell had four men in double figures, with Craig Greenwood leading the way

with 27.

High points man for Wabash was Dave Moore with 22. Game time tonight for the Wabash-Wheaton match is 7 p.m., followed by the DePauw-Bucknell tangle at 8:45 p.m. There will be tickets at the door.

Attorney John Reynolds of Chicago represented the urnpires. With Reynolds were umpires Jim Honochick, John Flaherty and John Rice, all directors of the association.

While that meeting was being held, chairman Frank Thompson of the House Labor Subcommittee said in Washing, ton that he would conduct hearings in the near future on whether federal labor laws can be applied to professional sports, especially the field of union organization.

CLINTON—The Greencastle Tiger Cubs came from behind Friday night to roll over the Clinton Wildcats 97-72. The Cubs, behind the 27-point effort by junior guard Bill Lear, came from 10-points behind in the second quarter and led the rest of the game.

The victory, Greencastle’s fourth of the season, saw the Cubs put four men in double figures. The Wildcats also had a balanced scoring attack but their double-figures were no match for the Cubs. Lear, who led the game in

markers, chocked in a total of 27 points. Dennis Losen tipped in nine field goals and three charity tosses for 21. Dave Hurst and Tony Harmless also scored in two-figures for the Cubs. The Cubs trailed by six points in the first quarter but bounced back to gain a ten-point margin by half-time. Clinton was undefeated in four outings prior to Friday’s loss. The Cubs, now 4-1 for the season, will host Spencer next Friday night. The Cubs also won the B-Team same.

Thompson, a New Jersey democrat, also repeated an earlier request that Cronin reinstate Valentine and Salerno.

“I remain very (concerned about the situation because T am a baseball fan who would hate to see the game harmed and because I believe that working men should not be arbitrarily fired for trying to improve their condition by forming a union,” he said.

RUSSELLVILLE — The Russellville Bees were handed their sixth defeat of the season Friday night at the hands of a strong Darlington team by a score of 75-58. Darlington led all the ay, gradually increasing its lead from six points at the end of the first quarter to the final 13-point margin. High-scoring honors were shared between Rich Lyons of Russellville and Darlington’s Don Threitkeld, each with 20 points. Darlington’s strong scoring

attack, with five men in doublefigures proved too strong for a young Russellville squad. Russellville, now' 6-3 for the season will host Reelsville Friday night. Darlington, whose varsity team has a 6-0 record, also won the B-Team game 47 to 21.
