By Jan Clark Tom Herold put out the fire here Friday night then started one of his own. The 6-1, 186-pound senior let-terman came off the bench with 5:21 left In the second period and brought Richmond from behind en route to a 75-66 Civic Hall hardwood victory over stubborn Winchester, Herold led the Red Devils with 19 points but even more important was his 14-point effort during those last five minutes and 21 seconds of the econd quarter. Richmond fell behind 31-28 in the second quarter and the situation became even more bleak when 6-7 sophomore center Rick Thalls was whistled for his third foul. Already on the bench with three fouls since late in the first quarter was another sophomore starter, 6-3 forward Trent Smock. Herold, replacing Thalls, scored two free throws to tie the game and put Richmond back in the lead 24-23 then potted five of six from the field, including his last four in succession, to enable the Red Devils to post a 36-31 halftime bulge.

Picks Up Slack In the third quarter, Herold went to the sidelines with his fourth personal and Winchester tied it up at 37-37. But Thalls, back in for Herold, picked up the slack and scored three straight from underneath, one a sweeping hook, and the locals regained their five-point advantage 56-51 at the third stop. Coach Dick Baumgartner's young and still inexperienced 6quad came to life during the final eight minutes, putting the game on ice with eight of 14 shooting, including three buckets by Rick Heaton, the only senior starter for RHS.

Banks scored 21 points to lead the Quakers past the visitors 94-85. (Palladium-Item Photo) Along with the high school history, there's the glorious past of IU, the recent successes of Purdue, and the constant success by Notre Dame. And any. one who jumps up and points the finger at UCLA, remember the home state of coach John Wooden. It was another night for the state to shine in the opening firing of the Earlham Classic, as the Quakers shot down Wilber-force of Ohio 94-85 and Anderson squeaked by Valdosta State of Valdosta, 80-79.

The Quakers wasted only seven seconds putting a score on the clock, Bob Byrd hitting a pair of free throws at the 19:53 mark in th3 first half, and never trailed from there. Wilberforce managed to tie it only twice at 17 and 32. And each time, the Quakers had four more points on the board before the Ohioans could get back into the scoring column. After coasting to a 47-41 half-time bulge, the Quakers ran their lead to 78-65 with 9: 16 left to play when Wilberforce made one final charge, ripping off 10 straight points to pull to within three with 6:34 remaining. But Irv Besecker, Dave Gray and Jerry Stroud came back with consecutive buckets to quelch the final major visitors' threat.

Sophomore guard Jerry Banks of Brookville led the balanced EC scoring attack with 21. Ken Stewart, who came out firing at the beginning and did the key rebounding in the end, finished with 15 points and 11 'bounds, while Byrd, with an impressive first half, also had 15 tallies. Dave Fetherolf, who didn't start the game, came off the bench and scored 14 points while grabbing 11 rebounds and assisting three baskets. Tim Kinder, who, along with Stewart, was a starter on last year's EC squad, netted 13. Dave Gray, 6-6 freshman sets Friday.

The 6-5'i senior picked up 18 rebounds. Anderson almost blew its victory, as the Ravens had a 76-67 lead evaporate over less than a minute and a half. With two minutes to play, Anderson held that nine-point bulge. Valdosta State scored six straight, then, after a free throw by Doug Jennings boosted the Ravens back to a 77-73 lead, John Trimnell and Willie Oxford netted fielders to tie it with 53 seconds remaining. Jennings sent the Ravens back on top at the :30 point 79-77 and Oxford's next attempt to knot the score failed six seconds later.

Reds Hoping To Host 1970 All-Star Game CINCINNATI (AP) The Cincinnati Reds and city officials have asked the National League to hold the 1970 All-Star game here since the new riverfront stadium is slated for occupancy June 30. The Reds, Mayor Eugene Ruehlmann and City Manager Richard Krabach have written Warren Giles, league president, for permission. The requests will be reviewed during major league baseball's winter meetings beginning Sunday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The Reds disclosed Friday that the city had assured them the stadium will be ready by the June date, in time for a homestand against National League West champion Atlanta, and for the All-Star game. Giles said that two other cities have also bid for the game but he would not mention which ones.

It is believed that Atlanta, and either San Diego or New York have also asked. His Tremendous Savings Santa Continues MONDAY, Hilgeman, Southgate, 13.3; 6-0 guard Tim Meyer, Cincinnati, 13.1, and 6-7 center Tom Roberts, Russell, 11.0. "Rebounding will have to be the strength of this year's team. We have some good outside shooters, but we will have to control the boards if we expect to be a winner," stated Coach Locke. Last year Miami won six MAC games by an average of just three points as it finished with a league record of 10-2 and an overall mark of 15-12.

"It is hard to say who is the favorite this year," remarked Locke. "The MAC is so balanced that any of the six teams could win the championship." The Redskins open their second season in Millett Hall, a $7.5 million building with 9,200 theater-type seats. A welcome addition this year is a parking lot ajacent to the building. Miami opens its season with three straight home games against Marietta, Northern Illinois and Ball State. The Redskins then take to the road for five consecutive games at Cincinnati, Oklahoma, Tulane, Dayton and Kentucky.

"We feel we have a good pre-conference schedule, one that will enable us to see just what we have early and yet one that will also be challenging," said Coach Locke. OXFORD, Ohio Miami University, the defending MidAmerican Conference basketball champion, opens the 1969-70 season against Marietta at 8 p.m. Monday at Millett Hall. Four players have graduated from last year's squad which upset Notre Dame in the NCAA tournament. They include Frank Lukacs, an all-MAC forward and leading Miami scorer with a 12.5 average; 6-10 center Ray defensive specialist George Burkhart and captain Tom Slater.

"We will miss the four players that graduated," stated Coach Tates Locke, the MAC Coach of the Year. "But we have a good group returning, plus some promising sophomores." Seven lettermen return, headed by tri-captains Walt Williams, a 6-2 senior forward from Cincinnati who averaged 11.8 points last year; 5-8 junior guard Mike Wren, Athens, 10.3, and 6-5 senior forward Glen Pryor, Muncie, 8.5. The other veterans include 6-8 senior center Terry Martin of Greensburg, 6-4 senior forward Ron Snyder, Orrville; 6-0 junior guard Gerald Sears, Indianapolis, and 6-1 junior guard Bill Strauch, Elmhurst, 111. The top newcomers include 6-2 Darrel Dunlap of Dayton, who led the freshman team in scoring last year with a 17.8 average; 6-5 forward Herb December 1 tilt. "He tried not to make me look too bad guarding him," Risinger said with a smile.

A crowd of 7,800 witnessed the preseason event. Purdue's varsity and freshmen open regular season play Monday, the varsity hosting Tulsa and the freshmen entertaining Wabash in a 5:30 p.m. preliminary contest. Kitchel, remembered most for his outstanding defensive job on All-Star Mike Edwards of Greenfield last March in the New Castle Regional, looks forward to Miami's freshman game with Purdue. The Jan.

10 game will start at 4 p.m. Jim N.C. State Starter Jim Risinger, older brother of Rick, is listed as a starting guard for North Carolina State's season opener Monday against William and Mary at Williamsburg, Va. Wolfpack Coach Norm Sloan lists the 6-2 Risinger, termed a snappy passer and competent scorer, and 6-5 sophomore Ed Leftwich, as the backcourt regulars. Cocaptains Rick Anheuser, and Vann Williford, both 6-6 seniors, will start at forwards with 6-9 sophomore Paul Coder, a 24.1 scorer and 12.6 rebounder as a freshman, at center.

Spicer Honored Again Richmond junior halfback Joe Spicer, recently named to the Associated Press' first-team all-state defensive unit, has received another honor for his talent in football. Spicer, currently spending his athletic time as a starting guard for the RHS basketball team, landed a berth Saturday on the ninth annual Bloomington Herald-Telephone all-state grid squad. The 33-man team, selected after nominations and recommendations from coaches throughout the state, will be feted at a banquet Dec. 13. Open Date Triton Central High School of Shelby County reports an open date on its basketball schedule this year.

A contract misunderstanding created an open date for Feb. 14. The school is located in northwestern Shelby County and is an 11-year-old consolidation of Fairland, Boggstown and Moral Township High Schools. The building is located near Fairland off 1-74. Triton Central prefers a road game for that date.

Other open dates include Dec. 20, Jan. 3, Jan. 24, Jan. 31 and Feb.

21. Interested schools should contact Arthur Dobbins at Triton Central. By Jan Clark, Sports Editor Dick Baumgartner's basketball coaching record is nearing 200 victories. His latest Richmond High School team, with season-opening wins over Lawrenceburg and Winchester, enabled the popular Red Devil ramrod to reach 195 on the career side and 79 here. Five more will make it 200 and this is only his twelfth season as a head coach.

The current 1969-70 campaign is Baumgartner's fifth at Richmond and his teams already have won 79 while losing but 27 in slightly over four seasons nearly 20 per trip. Baumgartner is the type guy who always prefixes his statements with the word "we" and never He gives his teams the credit but those who know him well realize fully the coaching talent he brought here five years ago. Opposing coaches know ahead of time Baumgartner-tutored teams will be tough nuts to crack simply because he's behind the wheel. Statistics (and that's our forte) show Baumgartner as the most successful basketball coach in RHS history in terms of average wins per season. Baumgartner's teams have averaged more than 19 on the win side in four seasons, leaving him fourth and moving up on the all-time victory list.

Three more wins by the current quintet will tie Baumgartner with Art Beckner, who won 82 in five full seasons, a 16.4 average. Fifteen more will tie Baumgartner with Harold Little in second place. Little's teams won 94 in six years, a 15.7 average. The all-time leader is Elder Eberhart, whose teams won 203 games in 13 years, a 15.6 average. Rick, Gary To Meet, Rick Risinger and Gary Kitchel, starting guards on last year's Richmond High School regional champion basketball team, will be playing against each for the first time Jan.

10. 1 That's when the Purdue University freshmen host Miami University of Oxford, Ohio. Risinger, an Indiana All-Star last spring, led the Purdue frosh in scoring last week against the varsity. The varsity won 111-62. Risinger scored 19 points on eight buckets and three free throws.

High for the varsity was Ail-American Rick Mount with 23. The 6-4 Risinger and 5-9 Kitchel were Civic Hall visitors this weekend as the 1969-70 RHS quintet opened a new season. In talking with Rick, he commented he is being used as a forward at Purdue.
