Michigan Puts Two Men On All-Star Team By ED SAINSBURY UPI Sports Writer CHICAGO (UPD—Michigan’s Big Ten basketball co-cham-pions placed two men and Ohio State, also with a share of the crown, one today on the AllConference team picked for United Press International by the league’s 10 coaches. Representing the Wolverines, who head into NCAA regional tournament play Friday were Bill Buntin, a junior, and Cazzie Russell, a sophomore, while Ohio State placed the league leading scorer, senior center Gary Bradds. Completing the honor five were Purdue’s sophomore stand out, Dave Schellhase, and one of Indiana’s terrific twin combination, Dick Van Arsdale. The coaches, most interested observers of thq players, their talents and techniques throughout the Season, went for the big scorer in a big way. Bradds, Schellhase, Russell and Buntin ranked 1-2-3-4 in conference scoring, and Dick Van Arsdale was seventh with his twin, Tom fifth. 2 Unanimous Choices Bradds, who set a conference single season scoring record with 474 points and a 33.9 per game average, and Russell, whom many coaches believed was the best sophomore ever with a 26.1 point per game average, were unanimous choices, placed on the first team by every coach. Buntin was placed on the second team by one coach to miss unanimous selection by one point. He finished the. season with a 24.6 point per game average. Schellhase, runner - up in league scoring with 379 points and a 27.1 per game average, was named to the first or second team by every coach to win a first five, position with, ease. But Dick Van Arsdale was hard pressed to beat out his brother for the fifth spot. Dick finished with a 21.1 point per game average and Tom, also named by every coach among the top 15 players in the league, had 22.2. Select Two Sophs It was the first time since 1960, when Purdue’s Terry Dischinger and Ohio State’s Jerry Lucas were named, that two sophomores made the first team. Dischinger and Lucas went on to make the All-Confer-ence team for three consecutive seasons. Bradds and Buntin each made the All-Conference team a year ago, but neither Dick nor Tom Van Arsdale were among the top 15 with Tom winning honorable mention. Named to the second team were Tom Van Arsdale, Skip Thoren and Tai Brody of Illinois, Mel Garland of Purdue and Rick Lopossa of Northwestern, while the third team included Pete Gent of Michigan State, Archie Clark and Lou Hudson of Minnesota, Rich Falk of Northwestern and Dick Ricketts of Ohio State. Garland was on the second team last year also and on the third team in 1962, while Lopossa and Falk both were on the third team a year ago.

Evansville beat Purdue and Arizona during the regular season.

North Carolina A&T ousted New York’s other entry, Adelphi, when Maurice McHartly led a ~ second half drive that pulled the Carolirfians away from a 40-all tie.

Columbus Team To Beat Al Indianapolis By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Any way you slice it, unbeaten Columbus is the team to beat in Saturday’s Central semi-state of the Indiana high school basketball tourney. .. ... The top-rated Bulldogs of coach Bill Stearman bring the most impressive statistics into the next-to-last lap of the fourweek grind ever compiled by a top contender. Along with a 25-game winning “ streak and the state’s No. I** rafting is a fantastic tourney average of 99 6 points per game js and an average winning margin » of 40.8. This indicates that the sec- ’ tional and regional opposition was none too keen, but the scores could have been even more lopsided in most cases. Faces Howe Just how good Columbus is at this stage of the game will be” known in a hurry come Saturday when it clashes with upsetminded Howe in the opener of the Indianapolis semi-state at Butler Fieldhouse. Howe has made its own press clippings with startling upsets over city rival Washington.-ia., the Southport sectional and over Anderson in the local regional. It was Howe which came closest to beating Columbus during the season —78 to 71 at Indianapolis more than two months ago. Muncie South and Rushville play the second afternoon game. Both Howe and South Side’s Rebels are first-time regional winners. Columbus beat Rushville in a South Central Conference game by 18 points, but the others have not met. Psychology Cited While Columbus has sailed along virtually unopposed; through the first two tourney weeks, the three other hopefuls had their hands full. That includes Howe, which had to hang on for dear life to stagger through against Anderson. Psychology could play a big part in their meeting Saturday. Howe wasn’t expected to get this far and has nothing to lose. Columbus will put all its eggs in one basket, bidding for its first state crown. The Muncie South-Rushville scrap could be fairly evenly matched. South’s Rebels had to beat a better Than average New Castle team,, then stave off Richmond’s furious last-period assault to get this far. Rushville triumphed in the Connersville regional district and will show up with a typically scrappy although not too ’ tall outfit. } Howe is 19-7, Muncie 21-5, and Rushville’s 22-3 record is its best ever. Columbus has been in the four-team finals only once before, losing to eventual champion Fort Wayne South in 1938. None of the other three has ever been that far.

Conley, Bond Are Battling For Comeback By JOE GERGEN UPI Sports Writer Two of the biggest men in baseball currently are plotting to stage two of the biggest comeback stories of the 1964 season. , That would be 6-foot-8 Gene Conley, the Boston Red Sox’ elongated right hander, and Walter Bond, the mammoth 6-foot-6 outfielder of the Houston Colts. Conley, who doubles as a pro basketball player with the New York Knickerbockers, spent most of last season on the shelf with an overdose of arm trouble probably traceable to a basketball injury. When he did * pitch, big Gene was ineffective and finished the season with a ballooning 6.59 earned run average in nine appearances. But this year the 10-year major league veteran, who was the mainstay of the Red Sox staff in 1962, is determined to start anew. Conley pitched four innings of scoreless ball as Boston whipped the Cleveland Indians, 12-4 Wednesday for their first victory of the exhibition season after four consecutive defeats. Conley, the tallest player in baseball, surrendered only one hit —a single —as he boosted his scoreless inning streak to seven. Catcher Bob Tillman was the Bosox hitting star with a double and a triple which accounted for four RBl’s. Bond, who was shipped to Jacksonville of the International League three weeks after the 1963 season opened without so much as one at bat, was purchased by Houston from Cleveland on a conditional basis. But so far there have been no grumblings in the Colts’ camp. Bond blasted a double and two singles in three times at bat Wednesday to run his hit„ting streak to six safeties in his ■fast six appearances. Bond had slashed a 420-foot home run on Tuesday in his bid to nail down a starting spot in the Houston lineup. Two veteran southpaws, Curt Simmons of St. Louis and Billy IHo ef t of Milwaukee, both «pitched impressive ball in in- * tra-squad games in their first competitive tests of the spring Simmons walked the first man to face him, induced the • tiext batter to Jtiit into a double play, then retired the next seven hitters in order. Hoeft limited the Denver Bears of the Pacific Coast League to three hits in four innings before giving way to rookie Clay Carroll, r who pitched five hitless innings in the 3-0 Milwaukee triumph. Around the camps: Catcher John Orsino of the Baltimore Orioles will be out of action for three weeks as the result of a torn muscle capsule of- the ring finger of hisght hand.. .three rookies — Don Eaddy, John Boceabella and' Billy Cowanhit home runs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Jim Campanis, a rookie catcher and the son of the Dodgers’ director of scouting Al Campanis, tagged a threerun’ homer in the ninth inning for the first Los Angeles circuit shot of the spring. . .Manager Charlie Dressen named Frank Lary to start the Detroit Tigers’ opening game of the exhibi ti o n season Saturday against the Minnesota Twins after the burly righthander, attempting a comeback, hurled 15 minutes of batting practice. Shortstop Ed Brinkman socked a two-run homer in a ’ Washington camp game. . .Ken Harrelson gained the spotlight in the Kansas City camp with a perfect 3-for-3 day.. .and rookie outfielder Sam Bowens .•.slammed a homer and double in a Baltimore squad game. Scheelhase Named As Most Valuable LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI) — Soplomore Dave Schellhase of Evansville Wednesday night was selected as Purdue’s “most valuable” basketball player and senior guard Mel Garland of Indianapolis was voted honorary captain for the second year in a row. Schellhase was the Big Ten’s second highest scorer with a ,„per game average of 27.1 points. He also led Purdue in rebounding with 271. Hockey Results National League Boston 5, New York 3.
