Baseball Heads Meet Today To Discuss Rules NEW YORK UIP — A combined major-minor league committee, in a command performance, will sit down today to draft new rules which could alter the entire structure of baseball. They will discuss everything but the playing rules of the game itself, tout before they finish the men who play the game may be operating under vastly different circumstances. Commissioner Ford Frick, who named the committee, gave the members a four-point outline of what he wanted accomplished and told them to “keep meeting until you come up with something*." “We need new machinery which will give minor-league players a chance to advance as Cast aa their ability permits," he aald. “Something is wrong with a system .permits a club to keep a player down tn the minors for five years without ever getting a shot at a major league jab." • • The committee members will convene in a. suite in the Hotel BHtmore and will hear baseball’s problems discussed at length by Frick and (Minor League President George Trautman before going into a closed door session. Thg committee members are Eddie Mulligan of Sacramento, Earl Mann of Atlanta and Frank Lawrence of Portsmouth, a.. Vrepreseating the n)inors; Frank Lane of the White Sox, George Weiss of the Yankees, Branch Rlokey of the Pirates and Bob Carpenter of the Phillies, representing the majors; and Fresco Thompson of the Dodgers and Johnny Murphy of the Red Sox. representing both the majors and minors as heads of farm systems. Frick gave the committee a fourpoint bulletin which outlined what he wanted done. "The members should assume broad responsibilities," he said. "I have no idea what kind of ..rules they -will come up with. But j they are expected to come up

But there are a number of things that should be done.” Frick said ho would ask the committee to study the rules under which players are kept “under control” by a major league team in the minors. “They should tie into their legislation regulation* which wild prevent unreasonable coneentratton at player streMrth. and which will give to all clubs, major and minor, the right to secure players on a fair basis of judgment?'hard work, and financial integrity,” he added. Any new draft rule, he said, should "give an incentive to lower classification minor league clubs to scout and develop young players in their own areas.” He also said that "We need to establish legislation which will dtscourage the present high payment of bonuses to untried youngsters and which will instead permit reasonable compensation for them based on improvement, effort, and ability." “All of that money paid out in big bonuses goes out of baseball," he said. “With an improved draft structure, it could be paid to clubs in the minors who badly need the money to keep operating. It could mean a better and healthier structure throughout baseball.” When the committee completes its work and it may take several meetings the recommendations will be submitted to the major leagues for an early vote. Then it will go to the minors for a mail vote so that It can be placed into the minor league by-laws before the 1 next player draft in December of 1964 at the minor league meetings.

Indiana Lead At Stake In Saturday Tilt BLOOMINGTON, Ind., UP — Indiana’s Hoosiers will have to eali on all their finesse at Minnesota Saturday if they want to keep the lead in the Big Ten basketbail title chase. Coach Branch Mty Cracken indicated today. McCracken’s conference and NCAA champions won their two league openers from Michigan and Wisconsin by a total of five pointe. They edged Michigan, 62-60, on a last-second fling by star guard Bobby Leonard, and in both games they blew big leads. At Michigan, the Hoosiers led by as much as 12 points, and they had the Badgers down by 14 as late as the third period. Then they seemingly fell apart. “We have a tendency to let down after piling up a lead,” McCracken said. “Hanging on to a lead seems to be our main problem.” Indiana won from Wisconsin, 7067, cashing in on 12 free throws in the final minutes and stalling out the last 43 seconds. Afterwards, the Hoosiers filed into their dressing room with heads bowed. "They were very disappointed,” McCracken said, "but don’t get me wrong. Wisconsin is a very good and under-rated ball club. They shot our eyes out in the second half.” The Hoosiers are determined not only to make a good showing at Minnesota but also to snap a fivegame losing streak there. The Gophers ruined Indiana’s otherwise league-perfect record last year, 65-63, on Chuck Mencel’s one-hander as the final buxzer sounded. McCracken knows, however, his boys will be in a hot spot. ‘l’ve seen Minnesota twice this season, at Lexington, Ky„ and at Champaign, and they’re awfully tough.” ‘This boy Dick Garmaker is a great shooter,” the white-haired Hoosier said. He added the Gophers have “three or four” other fine players his club will have to stop to win. The Hoosier hopes rest on the same veterans who gave Indiana the Big-Ten and national title last season—big Don Schlundt, who scored 61 points in two league games; ’forwards Charley Kraak and Dick Farley, and guards Leonard Scott. Leonard, the Hoosier floor general, reinjured his left shoulder against Wisconsin, but McCracken was certain he will start at Minneapolis, McCracken said he planned no special strategy for the “crucial” encounter. The Hoosiers love ,to run, and if they can get one more basket than the mother team, they !) settle for It. Bobby Dykes Wins Over Joey Giambra MIAMI BEACH, UP —Slender Bobby Dykes, fresh from an upset victory over fifth-ranked mid dieweight Joey Giambra, said today he was ready to face “any body I can make some money with —Bobo Olson, Kid Gavilan or anyone.” But the 25-year-old Miamian ad mitted be didn’t have an easy time with the hard - charging Buffalo, N. Y„ boxer in their 10-round na-tionally-televised bout Wednesday night at Miami Beach Auditorium. “He’s the toughest kid I ever fought,” said Dykes. Giambra wasn’t returning any compliments. j “I didn’t fight my fight, 1 fought his fight and the referee's,” said Giambra. “I’m willing to meet him anytime, anywhere, or any place and the next time I’ll knock him out.” Mike Scanlan, one of Giambra’s managers, complained that referee Eddie Coachman was getting in Giambra’s way and breaking the fighters too quickly. Scanlan indicated he would like a rematch in Madison Square Garden. The unanimous decision over Giambra made Dykes' manager, Es ton O’Neal, believe be was ready to start preparations for the “big epe” with title - holder Olson. But O’Neal conceded that “Dykes needs a couple more fights first.’’ Dykes weighed 155% pounds, a half-pound heavjpr than Giambra for the feature bout which drew 3,566 who paid 610,522, even though the telecast was not blacked out in south Florida. Each,,, received 25 percent of the gate and $4,000 from the television rights. College Basketball ■Rio GrandnSl, Butler 68. Notre Dame 72, Louisville 53. Manchester 58, Earlham 57.

Forbids Securities Sale By Prosecutor Order Is Issued By Secretary Os State INDIANAPOLIS UP —Secretary of . state Crawford F. Parker Issued a permanent order today forbidding Lake county prosecutor Metro Holovachka from selling securities. He made a temporary order permanent, charging that Holovachka dealt in Barrett Improvement' bonds in Gary wbile v he was city i controller and also while violated the law. by not having, a license from the state securities commission, Parker said. The new order, follow-up to a Monday hearing, said Holovachka should “forthwith cease and desisr from further sale, solicitation and offer to sell securities.” Holovachka contended the Barrett bond Contracts were not securities and therefore he need not be registered. “It- is our contention,” Parker replied, "that the person who purchases a Barrett law contract receives an interest in specific property . . . and sale of such an interest without a license is good and sufficient reason why I should make this cease and desist order permanent.” V— Since the securities law was written in 1937, Parker said, it has been the interpretation that persons who sell securities must be licensed to do sq, “even though they sellsecurIties ?hat are exempt tor some reason under'the act.” He also said no exemption— is provided tor attorneys to sdll securities. Parker pointed to testimony Holovachka piade in a securities commission hearing last Sept. 29 in Gary. He quoted Holovachka as saying: i “I bought contracts from contractors. I sold contracts. ! purchased bonds through the contracts . . . I contacted possibly 50 to 100 people in the city of Gary and attempted to interest, them in of these securities on the basis that I thought they were good securities and that those people could realize a income on their investment.” ». “Holovachka now contends these contracts are not securities, despite. the fact he. retgrreid to them as-sueh." Parker said-. He addecFtlfat Holovachka wduld be violating the law “even it he solicits people to purchase these securities.” Monmouth Students Visit Court House Senior students of the govern, ment class of Monmouth high school this morning were making a tour ot the county court house, learning first-hand from county officers how county government operates. r Escorting the group into the offices were county school superintendent Gail Grabfl and Monmouth high Instructor, John Rosier.

Restricted TV Is Slated For College Grids CINCINNATI, Ohio, UP — Th* NCAA television committee today recommended the present policy of one game a week on TV continued but raised a possibility of more football for the arm-chair fan, on a delayed basis. The report, suggesting that too much football on television could wreck attendance, recommended that one game be televised nationally and that films of major games be presented later. The report, which will be up for adoption by the National Colleg iate Athletic Association Friday, said during this year a study should be made of presenting films of major games sometime after the game w-as played. The committee also recommend ed a study of subscription tele vision under which individuals would pay for the service and of a study of piping television of certain games into theaters. The committee report said, “the future of intercollegiate football and the athletic and physical edu cation programs dependent upon it can be seriously threatened it attendance at football games is reduced through oter-televising." The policy of televising one game per week was expected to win approval-- on- 4he--floor Friday. It had been expected. Asa Bushnell, director "of the NCAA television committee, had sai dthat college athletic directors voted about 60 percent in favor of the present policy. 1 Committee chairman Robert J.
