However, SPfootwasnt a cog In the machine for CUnton that Cox has been for Marion.It would be tough to convince anyone from Clinton that Marion was minus a soul. Bob Claypool took over the vacated guard spot and performed like a regular. Bob rebounded like a demon, as did Failor. Altenberg, Terry McEnany and Larry Brooks. Marlon gobbled half of the rebounds that Clinton managed to get.Clinton owned a slight height advantage, having two boys. Larrv Jakubsen and Ed Heiaon at 6-3 but Failor kept both of them busy with his offensive and defensive antics.Coach Ed Raschke put two and three men on Failor during second half action and he could muster only four points. Altenberg picked up the scoring tempo for the Indiana. Twelve of his 16 tallies were registered in the final half of play.Before Rascnke could repair his torn defense, Failor had administered the coup de grace. McEnany played a big part In Dnrell's scoring spree. Terry's quick, sharp passes caught the less fleet footed River Kings out of position.

The kids dropped a real heartbrcaker to the Clinton sophs 33-32.A pair of free throws after the game ended brought the sophs' eight game winning streak to an end. Don Knutson did the dirtv work. The kid cooiy dumped two free shots through the hoop after being fouled In the final second of the contest.Inability to hit free throws actually cost the kids the ball game. Marion hit only six charity tosses and missed twice that many.Buzz Clark led the losers with nine tallies, white Ron Smith counted 10 points for the winners.Coach Lynn Browns kids held a 16-15 half time margin, and a 27-25 third period lead, but it didn't stand up after the tilt ended.Mr. and Mrs. Herbert J.
