Undefeated Season For Greencastle Girl Netters

Banntr-Grophic, Gr—ncottla, Indiana

Pag* 5

The Greencastle girls tennis team smashed to their first ever undefeated season last week as they dumped North Montgomery, 10-2, Monday afternoon. ^ The victory brought the Cub girls’ record on the spring to 8-0, the first clean slate they’ve had for sport this school year. Meanwhile, in sectional competition at Terre Haute, the Cubs advanced to the final rounds of both the

singles and doubles matches before tasting defeat, far enough to qualify three girls for the regional tournament. Lorie Bitzer stroked her way to the singles finals before falling to Terre Haute North’s Mary Ann Shouse, while the duo of Annie Lear and Judy Smaltz were bandaged and bound by Johnson and Johnson. Only one Cub failed to make her way through the first day in Terre Haute. Jan

IU Looking For Every “Thom-man”

A graduate scholarship honoring the memory of W'illiam H. (Billy) Thom, former wrestling coach at Indiana University and the coach of the 1936 United States Olympic team, has been announced by the Indiana University Foundation. An active campaign to raise money for the fund will be conducted this summer. Clifford Myers of Bloomington will head an Executive Committee composed of former members of Coach Thom’s teams. Other members of the committee are: Dr. George Belshaw, Indianapolis; Homer Faucett, Hillsboro, and Garnet Inman, New Albany. They hope to get in touch with every “Thom-man" around and that means a great number of l.U. alumni and friends. “Coach Thom is one of the great names of Indiana University athletics,’’ William S. Armstrong, l.U. Foundation president, said. “He was loved, respected and admired

by all of those who had the pleasure of being touched by his life.” Billy Thom came to Indiana in 1927 as wrestling coach and football assistant and served for 18 years. His teams won eight Big Ten titles and the 1932 NCAA title~the only one won by a Big Ten school until 1967 when Michigan State earned the title. l.U. also won 36 consecutive dual meets under Coach Thom and his wrestlers won 33 individual Big Ten titles. A Nebraska native, Coach Thom was also an undefeated middleweight w restling champion of the world and. in 1972. he was inducted into the Helms National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Coach Thom died in 1973, having worked the last five years of his life at the Indiana Youth Center in Plainfield. Contributions to the Billy Thom Fund may be made to the Indiana Unversity Foundation, P.O. Box 500, Bloomington, Ind. (47401).

] Race Could Be Held Up

INDIANAPOLIS (AP)- The Indianapolis Motor Speedway was threatened with a law suit Monday that could bold up the 58th running of the 500-mile race Sunday. Wright Hugus Jr., a former sports car driver and now a Greenwich, Conn., lawyer said later, however, that the suit to obtain an injunction against the track and the race still was being formalized and probably would be filed today. He said no decision had been rached as to what court would be used, either state or federal. Hugus said he represents four owners of cars that were lin line for qualifying runs Saturday when the final round of time trial's ended promptly at the 6 p.m. deadline specified in the race entry blank. A starting lineup of 33 drivers already had been qualified, two alternate starters had been selected and the "bumping” process to weed out slower cars had begun when the deadline ar-

rived.

Eleven cars actually were waiting in line for possible fourlap shots at the timing clocks, nine of them previously certified for qualifying runs. Hugus said a request was made of the track’s new chief steward, Tom Binford, for an extension of qualifying time, but that was turned down. Binford denied Monday that such a request was made. “All we wanted was a chance,” Hugus said. “We weren’t given a chance, and the speedway and the United States Auto Club turned down several alternatives to clear up the situation. “We have no choice but to take legal action,” he added. “We don’t want to hurt the track or the race, but we feel we have legal grounds to correct an unjust situation and

we’re taking them.” Hugus said his clients in the suit include Roy Woods, with driver John Mahler; Woods’ chief mechanic George Morris; owner George Webster and driver Lee Brayton; and owner Carl Gehlhausen and driver Bill Puterbaugh. Also a client, Hugus said, is Richard E. Deutsch, wealthy Connecticut businessman described as "a friend of racing.” Hugus said Don A. Tabbert, a well known Indianapolis lawyer, had joined him in preparing the suit. A temporary injunction, either from a state or federal court, could hold up the race until hearings are held. Hugus said, however, he will press for an early court decision. The chief complaint is that some of the qualifying time lost to rain Saturday should have been added after the 6 p.m. closing time so that all certified cars and drivers could have at least one qualifying run to make the field. Not only that, they said that one car was allowed two trials under the clock-and ahead of cars still waiting for their first

attempt.

The machine in question was driven on its first mission by Bentley Warren, but Warren was not given the green flag indicating he was under the tim-

ing clocks.

With Warren out of the cockpit, rookie Johnny Parsons climbed in and qualified the car for a 28th place start. Speedway officials contended that when Warren brought the car back in and it was inserted again in the qualifying line, that “broke” the original line. “It was up to the car owners or drivers farther back in the line to protest then, not later,” one track steward said.

Hugus had proposed Sunday that the Speedway set up a 12th row of starters—it would have broken the 33-car limit for the first time since 1933—with finishing money the same as in the already qualified 11th row. Track owner Anton "Tony” Hulman and vice president Joe Cloutier turned the proposal

down.

The two did, however, agree to re-open the qualifying if Hugus and his clients could obtain affidavits from owners, drivers or representatives of the 33 qualified cars agreeing to an extension. Hugus said Monday he had obtained only 25 affidavits and that Larry Cannon, the 33rd starter, had refused to sign. Cloutier said, "We’re sympathetic, but our hands are tied. We don’t find where we can change the rules unless they

can get everyone—all the qualifiers—to agree, which they apparently can’t get.” In any event, Cloutier said, the problem was USACs. “They’re the sanctioning body, and it’s up to them to enforce the rules for the race,” he added. Most drivers in the lineup were taking the day off, including pole position winner A.J. Foyt, and were unavilable for comment. Foyt captured the No. I start for his 17th Indianapolis race with a four lap speed of 191.632 miles per hour. He already is a three-time win-

ner.

Hugus said the “very least” his clients would settle for would be “indemnity for expenses, return of their $1,000 entry fees” and suitable “damages or violation of their rights.”

NBA All-Stars Named

NEW YORK (AP) - Milwaukee’s Kareem Abdul-Jab-bar, winner of the Podoloff Trophy as the Most Valuable Player in the National Basketball Association, was named the NBA's first-team All-Star center for the fourth straight year. Commissioner Walter Kennedy announced. But the massive Jabbar. 7-foot-2, finished second in the voting to New York guard Walt Frazier, who polled 15.291 of a possible 17 in the balloting, with each league city getting one full vote. It was the third first-team selection for Frazier, a sevenyear veteran. He led the Knicks in scoring with an average of 20.5 points per game, ranked fourth in the league in assists with 6.9, and made the NBA

All-Defensive team for the sixth straight year. Joining Abdul-Jabbar and Frazier on the first team were forwards John Havlicek of the champion Boston Celtics—also making his fourth conseuctive firs t-team appearance—and Rick Barry of the Golden State Warriors and guard Gail Goodrich of the Los Angeles Lakers. Each member of the first team receives S500, while the second team gets $250. Bob McAdoo of the Buffalo Braves was named the second team center, and Elvin Hayes of the Washington Bullets and Spencer Haywood of the Seattle SuperSonics the forwards, while Dave Bing of the Detroit Pistons and Norm Van Lier of the Chicago Bulls were the second team guards.
