Barr hit most of his nine field goals on long set shots and added a Bob Appleby, Millikin football and baseball coach who resigned yesterday, would like to continue I coaching college football but is fearful things are going to be pretty tough in the future for minor colleges. Bob feels that the approach of good television in Decatur, for instance, is going to work additional hardship in attracting fans to Saturday afternoon Millikin games. Appleby thought that night football for lillikin was the way to combat radio and television of major games but was unable to convince Big Blue administrators. Bob also feels that material in minor colleges is going to be scarcer than usual in the future. There is evidence that the government is going to crack down on deferments for students who don't keep their grades up to snuff.

It's not going to be so easy to duck induction. And, finally, there is the financial standpoint. Too many good high school football jobs pay as much, and sometimes more, than a minor college job. Hence Bob's willingness to listen to prep offers. Norm Patberg, Eastern Illinois State's classy eager, will be making his fifth trip to Kansas City Sunday when the Panthers take off for the NAIA tournament.

TERESA (74) I FG FT FTM PF TP. and baseball coach, yesterday sub-mitred his resignation, effective at the end of the current semester. President J. Walter Malone an nounced the receipt of Appleby's resignation and its acceptance. Last night Appleby said be was resigning because ot the small chance for financial improvement at Bob Appleby Millikin and because university officials felt they could not give him a full time assistant to help coach football.

ivry plans are pretty indefinite right now," Appleby said. "I've applied for several jobs and plan to stay in coaching, either at the col lege or high school level. "I've enjoyed working here very much and would like to stay in Illinois." In two football seasons Appleby's Big Blue teams won 6, lost 8 and tied one game. Last fall' his team tied Lake Forest for the College Conference of Illinois championship. It was the first Millikin football championship in 1 1 years.

Appleby's first baseball team last spring tied Augustana and Wesley-an for the CO baseball championship. At present he is putting this spring's baseball candidates through indoor workouts. A graduate of Arkansas State College, Appleby came to Millikin after serving as line coach at Hen derson State College in Arkansas. Ralph Allan, Millikin athletic director, commented upon learning that Appleby's resignation had been submitted and accepted: "Bob has established a fine rec ord here at Millikin. having won a co-championship in football and baseball.

I leel he will do well in his. next position and I wish him good luck." -President Malone indicated that announcement of a coach to succeed Appleby would be made in the near ruture.

The two winners square off Friday with a berth in the state finals at stake. Decatur had won 53 straight regional games since the regional plan was introduced in 1936. St. Teresa had played in the regional finals only once previously, bowing to Decatur, 76-60, last year. Sid Tucker, St.

Teresa's 6 foot 4 senior forward, was the difference. Playing perhaps the finest game of his three-year career as a regular, the big boy pumped in 34 points on 14 baskets and six free throws. He was the tournament's leading scorer with 65 points in three games. As in the Monday win over II-liopolis and the Wednesday victory over Lakeview, St- Teresa "picked up its winning margin in the first half. After a torrid first quarter in which St.

Teresa grabbed a 24-22 lead, the Bulldogs applied the kayo in the second period, outscoring the Reds, 19-10. A string of nine points in a row at the outset of the quarter gave the Bulldogs an 11-point bulge and all but sewed up the decision. Although Tucker' was the key scorer, it was a team victory. Jerry Hise, Larry Warren and Dan Collins turned in fine floor games and, with Tucker, gave the Bulldogs a rebounding edge. Hise had 13 points, Collins 12 and Warren 11.

Center Dick Overheul sat on the bench most of the game after pick ing up three fouls in the first two and a half minutes. But John Fitz gerald filled in capablv. Collins did some masterful Wing in the final three minutes as St. Teresa put on an effective stall. The win was the 25th in 28 games for Coach Joe Venturi's boys and second over the Reds this sea son.

Decatur finished with a 15-11 record, its poorest since 1937-38. This is only the third time in Coach Gay Kintner's 25-year career that the Reds have missed sectional play and the first time since 1932. Sophomore guard Bob Davis and faarv Oglesby were the Reds' chief scorers, Davis with 21 points and Oslesby with 16. Each made seven baskets, mainly on long shots from 25 to 30 leet out. Uiuck riehrends, the team's season-long scoring star, was stopped with seven points.

Don KesIergotl4. Tucker, pushed the. Bulldogs off to a last start with three quick bas kets. The Reds, after trailing, 13-8; went ahead, 16-15, on Resler's and the lead then changed twice before Warren made a basket and free throw to put St. Teresa in front to stav.

21-20. Hise hit two baskets and two free throws, Tucker added two free throws and Warren one at the' start of the' second quarter as Decarui went scoreless, boosting the 24-22 lead to 33-22. It was 43-32 at the half with Tucker having scored 18 With Oglesbv and Davis connect ing for- two baskets apiece, Decatur narrowed the score to Ho-i wtn 5:20 remaining in the third quar- to its downfall.
