WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1953 THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENINQ SENTINEL PAGE THIRTHM Offense and Defense Shine as Christian Whips Allegan Maroons Mark Up Second Decision Over Tiger Five ALLEGAN Special) --A oonv bination of a smooth-functioning offense and a spectacular defense gave the Holland Christian cagers a 52-36 victory over the Allegan Tigers here Tuesday night. It was Christian's second decisive win over the Allegan club this season and the Maroons 12th in 13 90 far in the campaign. Coach Art Tuls' Christian dub was a much sharper outfit against the Tigers than they were last Friday against and they needed to be. Tlie Allegan dub is an explosive aggregation and can erase a sizable lead'with- in a short period of time. Although the Hollanders won by 16 points, their margin was only about nine or 10 points throughout most of the second half.

The Maroons with some good team play kept the Allegan crew guessing throughout most of When Coach Ken Otis of the Tigers instructed his boys to play Holland close, the clever Christian guards used their pivot- men well on cuts and Then when the Allegan outfit decided to close up the Maroon center sflot, where Ken Seholten was hitting repeatedly, by playing loose, Dave Schreur and Merle Van Dyke hit consistently from outcourt. Once these two playmakers accounted for 25 of the' total points. Christian's defense and rebounding also came in fox' a share of praise from Tuls. While the forward wall of Scholten, Earl Schipper, Ron Nykamp and Rich Sharda took complete control of the boards, the Dutchmen defense was permitting just 41 Allegan shots at the hoop--not enough to win most ball games. The individual defensive performance of the game and perhaps of the season far, was turned in by Van Dyke.

He held Roger Newman, leading scorer of.his league, to Just two field goals and four free throws, Newman didn't get a basket the first half, while his mates were collecting Just three. Coach Ken Otis wasn't too downhearted about his clubs' loss, feeling that the squad had turned in a creditable performance. Roger Smith was the outstanding Tiger player on tshe floor, showing tremendous drive and scrap, although he managed to tally only one basket. has a good ball handling club with plenty of speed. Forward Ron Nykamp his rebounding helps Christian played the first quarter in spurts.

After trailing 5-1, af the four minute mark, tihe Dutchmen rallied for 16 points in the final four minutes to lead 17-11 at first quarter horn. Allegan didn't score a fieM goal in the second quarter but managed to keep within striking distance of the Maroons with success at the foul line. Scholten was the main cog in the Dutch offense during this quarter, hitting well on a jump shot from the foul circle. At halftirqe Holland had upped its macrgin to 27-17. The Hollanders looked like they were off to an easy win to start the third period by building up a 33-19 lead.

But the explosaveness of the Allegan attack made ita appearance at this point, with Tigers garnering eight straight points to close the gap to 33-27. Christian then took charge and by the end of the period had a 42-30 bulge. Play in the final quarter was slow with the Dutchmen content to keep possession without soaring. They spurted to seven quick tallies in the closing stages of the game. Nykamp left the contest with five personals with 31 left Newman with less than a minute to go.

Christian connected on 22 out of 83 attempts for 26 per cent from the field while Allegan hit 10 for 41 for slightly less than 25 per cent. In the free throw department the locals hit on eight out of 17 compared with AUegan's 16 out of 26. Schreur led all scorers with 16 markers, followed by Scholten with 14. Newman, Smith and George White. Each had eight for Allegan.

Maroon Reserves Trip Tiger Cubs ALLEGAN (Special)--Holland Christian's reserve squad played one of its best games of the season Tuesday night at Allegan to down a stubborn Allegan second team, 45-39. Coach John Lam's club holds the distinction of being the only outfit to stop the Allegan five this season, and they have done it twice, winning the first game by two points earlier this year. The contest might have been rout had it not been for the terrific Allegan foul shooting. They hit on 17 out of 19 attempts and 11 out of 12 in the second half.

One big factor in the Christian win was the improved play of the Dutch forward wall. John Heyboer turned in his best game of the year and freshman Dave Vander Hill, fffling in for Warren Nykamp, who was home with the flu, also played a fine game under the boards. Christian led 12-8 at the end of the first period and by halftime was in front, 26-16. They boosted their total to 37-24 at the end of the third quarter before the fighting Tigers started to close in. Jun Buursma with good out- court shooting led all scorers with 17, followed by Heyboer with 14, Vander Hill with six, and John Mulder and Bill Vryhof with four apiece.

Flashy center Bud Ingalsbee led the losers with 19.

The undefeated Tigers walked all over Bloomingdale 69-35 in the last of three garnet played. Fennville, which been having a rough time most of the way this season, turned back Covert in the first game 56-51. The contest was close almost all the way.

Adams of Wings Pays $500 Fine MONTREAL, (UP) General Manager Jack 'Adams of the Detroit Red Wings was out $500 today for invading Referee Red Storey's dressing room at Detroit's Olympia stadium Jan. 18 to protest Storey's officiating. President Clarence Campbell of the National Hockey League levied the fine after listening to testimony from Adams and Storey. Adams insisted Storey had invited him in but Storey disagreed.

Adams was the second NHL governor in a month to pay for breaking the rule. General Man- Chicago Jan. 10 Lions and Walker Look for Success DETROIT, (UP) The Detroit Lions looked ahead today to finishing the 1953 season in thejSlack-- with the help of Doak Walker. At Tuesday's annual director's meeting, President Edwin J. Anderson said the Lions made $114,754 last season in winning the National Football League championship.

But because of a whopping deficit piled up in the years 1948-50, the club is still 542,275 in the red for its five years of operation under the present management. General Manager Nick Kerbawy said Walker, despite reports he has had offers to return to Southern Methodist University as head coach promised in a telephone conversation from Dallas to play for the Lions "at least one more year." Coach Buddy Parker, who like Walker hails from put it more strongly than that. "I talked to Doak this morning," Parker said. A a Doak couldn't coach a major university football team right now, frankly I don't think he wants to. "They're talking about a five- year plan down there in Texas.

But in five years, Walker could be a millionaire. He can make too much money to get tangled up with coaching just yet." Basketball Results High School Basketball Keaufo Holland Christian 52, Allegan 36 Inkster 44 Detroit Cath. Cen. 43 Detroit St. Hedwig 37 Wayne St.

Charles Favored In Video Fight DETROIT (UP)--Former heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles said today he "won't deserve" a rematch with title-holder Rocky Marciano if Charles loses tonight's 10-round, go Harrison. with young Tommy 22 (36) 2 3 2 2 1 0 0 8 18 52 5 2 0 0 4 0 0 New Witnesses Called In Anti-Trust Hearing PHILADELPHIA (UP) The government called on new witnesses in the anti-trust trial of the National Football League today after a statistician testified more than 50 per cent of the nation's television sets were concentrated in league areas. Joseph Futoran, a statistician with the anti-trust division, said 15,200,000 TV receivers were In use throughout the United States late in 1951, and that 52 per cent were located in the "home territory" of the 12 NFL teams. The nation, he added, has 43 TV stations and 573 radio stations. The government claims the NFL and its member clubs are guilty of conspiring and creating a monopoly when they restrict the telecasting a broadcasting of games.

The trial is being held without jury before Judge Allan K. Grim. Harrison, a light heavyweight from Los Angeles, specializes in winning the bouts in which he is an underdog. But for Charles the bout in Olympia Stadium may be just another of his monthly chores on the long comeback trail. "If I had any doubt about my ability to beat Harrison, maybe I'd be foolish to take the match," Charles said.

"But I know that 1 can beat any fighter in the world and that includes Marciano and Jersey Joe Walcott. 'All I want is the opportunity to prove what I say. Charles' only other bout in Detroit was in March, 1951, when he successfully his title against the aging Walcott. Later, however, he was knocked out by Walcott in Pittsburgh, who subsequently bowed to Marciano. The match will be televised nationally.
