ICC Leads All-Sports Race
With the end of the basketball and
wrestling season, the 1965-66 Hoosier
College Conference All-Sports race
finds Indiana Central holding a slim
2% point lead over second-place And-
erson.
The Greyhounds successfully
defended their 1964-65 title in
wrestling under coach Paul Velez.
However, Angus Nicoson’s basket-
ballers dropped to second place for
the first time in three years, finishing
behind Manchester’s Spartans.
A tie for third place in football and
sole possession of third place in
tennis gives Central 51 points to-
ward the All-Sports trophy. Ander-
son is a close second with 48% points,
followed by Taylor, 44%; Manches-
ter, 38; Hanover, 27; Franklin, 25;
and Earlham, 7.
Earlham being a new member
gained no points in football and
basketball. Although IC’s hardwood
quintet relinquished the conference
crown this season, the Nicoson-led
Hounds earned a trip to Kansas City
and the national NAIA tourney for
the second time in three years.
The Greyhounds gained revenge in
the. NAIA district 21 tourney at
Anderson by clubbing Manchester for
the second time in three meetings,
98-84, then won the K.C. trip with a
scintillating 100-83 mop-up of host
Anderson.
The Hounds nearly pulled the upset
of the tourney when they pushed
second-seeded Carson-Newman of
Tennessee to the wire before bowing,
68-67.
Coach Velez’ grapplers, winners of
the first annual ICC wrestling meet
last year, retained their title in the
conference and also grabbed the
Little State championship for the
third straight time.
Posting an 8-3 dual meet record, the
Hounds were led by senior Tim Giles,
one of the most outstanding Indiana
Central wrestlers in recent years.
Giles lost but three times this year
and 12 of his 14 victories were pins,
including three straight under two
minutes in the HCC meet. Tim, a
145-pounder, was voted the outstand-
ing wrestler in both the ICC and Little
State meets. He also was voted most
valuable wrestler by his teammates
and received the trophy for the
fastest pin at 43 seconds.
Other outstanding wrestlers were
sophomore Mike Watkins, who won
the Little. State 115-pound title; Dale
Sidebottom, HCC and Little State
champ in the 152-pound class; Dave
Graves, 177 champ of HCC and Little
State, and Maurice Barnes, who was
also the champ in the HCC and Little
State 191-pound class.
