Gerstmeyer And Attacks Early Net Favorites By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-A statewide canvass on this election day installed champion Indianapolis .Attacks and Terre Haute Gerstmeyer as prime favorites for the 1957 Indiana high school basketball crown. If the annual United Press survey of coaches' sentiments revealed any surprises, it was only the fact the experts tabbed more than the usual number of top favorites and darkhorses for Hoosierland's No. 1 sports title. shaded Attucks by just an eyelash in the pre-season popularity poll — apparently because foxy Howard Sharpe has four of five starters left from last year’s club which bowed to Attucks in the afternoon round of the 1956 state finals. The two powers clash in their Terre Haute opener Nov. 24, and regardless of whether he’s using psychological warfare or trying to beef up his own ranks, Sharpe didn't think his boys will snap Attucks' 45-game winning streak. “We won’t be tough enough to beat them —maybe in February or March,” he said. Now, he said, "we're too weak defensively.” Muncie Rated High Lafayette, runner-up to Attucks for the crown last March, and such other perennial hardwood powers as Muncie Central, Indianapolis Tech, South Bend Central also were prominently mentioned as potential state champion material. The coaches named nearly two dozen area standouts, and there wasn’t one clear-cut favorite for major conference honors. Area powers named included: Bloomington district—Jeffersonville, Evansville Lincoln, Winslow, Seymour, Bedford. Indianapolis—Elwood, Columbus, Batesville. Rushville, Connersville, Shelbyville. Aurora. Fort Wayne—Fort Wayne Central and Catholic, Hartford City,

No doubt, there will be others crashing into this list, for the season won’t start for most of the big city teams until the latter part of this month. “It’s just too early to spot teams other than those whose carry-over strength is known," said Hartford City' coach Claude Weeks. “Come tourney time, they are all rough,” he added. Elmer McCall, who piloted South Bend Central to the state crown in 1953, thought Muncie Central is due for its fifth state title. He added cautiously, however, “there will be many good teams—even more than last year—as the season develops.”

Today's Sport Parade By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP* — Don’t call ’em bowling “alleys." This was a word that used to fit, back in the kegling dark ages. Those were the days when they were bracketed with low class pool rooms. i But the "alleys” have come of age and now they are known as “lanes." What brings this high sounding bit to mind is that bowling, which has grown into one of the top participant sports, will go majorleague on Noy. 13 when it moves into Madison Garden for the first time in history. On that date, three champions of the West will roll against three top Eastern stars with a prize of $5,000 going to the winner. In this match, the West will be represented by Bill Lillard of Chicago, the ABC and national match game champion; Don Carter of St. Louis, -twice the national king, and Dick Hoover of Akron, Ohio, thd current Masters’ champion. The Eastern Contenders Easterners shooting for the jackpot will be 65-year-old Andy ’Varipapa, still good enough to rassle with the- boys; Graz Castellano, New York’s match game champion, and Jim Bonatos of Bayonne, N.J., the Eastern eliminations winner. Rounding out the program in the house of swat will be a special match between Anita Cantaline of Detroit, the national match game champion, and Marion Turash, holder of every New York state title for the past three years. Varipapa also -will put on his trick shot exhibition. Taking over the Garden, long dedicated to the big money spectator sports, is a new departure for bowling. The tournament is being backed by Vic Kaliman, a former United Press reporter who decided to quit working for a living. “Thq chances are I wM .lose money,” says Kallman, who in the days when I was bowling with him never lost a dime in his life. “But bowling has arrived at a point where, with more than 30,000,000 participants, it deserves a show window.” Statement Makes Sense On the last part of his statement, the man makes a lot of sense. And the “lanes” no longer are the dingy dives which at one time thrived on hooking unsuspecting victims. The “lanes” of today are masterpieces of architectural magic, spotless and gleaming, and completely equipped electrically. Mothers are bowling with daughters and fathers with sons. There are husband-wife leagues and it is a common sight to find the entire family bowling together. There’s nothing suspect about them anymore. Why, even the alleys will have glass kickbacks at Madison Square Garden. Proving that, at long last, bowling has nothing to hide but is ready to put the show on the road. Wayne Bethea Winner By Split Decision NEW YORK (UP) — Heavyweight Wayne Bethea, the Bronx battering ram, was matched today for another TV fight at St. Nicholas Arena next month because of his seventh straight victory Monday night on a split decision over Howie Turner of Brooklyn. On Dec. 17, Bethea will meet young Zora Folley of Phoenix, Ariz., champion of the Southwest. A— — Bowling Scores Minor League W L Pts.

NATION VOTES (Coattnaed from Page One> any American "give as a reason for his own election a forecast that the president of”the Unhed States would die in office.” Fifteen minutes after Stevenson’s image faded from TV screens, the GOP came orr with its election eve program. It concluded with talks by the President and Nixon from the White House. Mr. Eisenhower spoke of his current worries over. the Middle East crisis but made no attempt to give a partisan defense of his administration’s policy. He said peace and freedom are indivisible and urged everyone to exercise their right to vote —a right for which, he said, people are dying abroad. He made no comment on Stevenson’s indirect reference to his health. Polls Favor Ike Virtually all polls have indicated that Mr. Eisenhower was a ' safe bet for reelection. Democrats could console themselves with the hope that the polls were wrong as they were in 1948. when President Truman was counted out before the voters elected him. Next to the presidency, the biggest prize is control of Congress. Although the oddsmakers were giving the nod to the Democrats, in this battle, a landslide defeat i in the presidential race could up-

set any such calculations. In 1952, Mr. Eisenhower ran far ahead of most Republican candidates for the House and Senate. The GOP won control of Congress by slim margins, then lost their majorities in both Houses in the mid-term elections of 1954. Eighteen senate seats now held by Democrats and 17 held by Republicans are at stake. Os the 18 Democratic seats, 11 are in Southern or other states where the Democrats are relatively safe. GOP Must Unseat Democrats To win the two needed to insure control, the GOP must unseat Democrats in some of these states: Kentucky, where two seats are at stake, Nevada, New York, Oregon. Washington and West Virginia. Only three or tne Republican Senate seats are completely safe, but the GOP candidates are heavily favored for six of the others. Subtracting those, the Republicans have vulnerable seats at stake in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In the 432 House races, the Democrats started with their usual bulge of about 100 safe seats in the South. Sixty-nine Democratic House candidates had no opposition, compared with three Republicans. Maine elected its three House members —two Republicans and one Democrat — when it reelected Democratic Gov. Edmund S. Muskie two months ago.
