L Major Leagues I To Cut Rosters l I By Opening Day CHICAGO (UP)—Minor League baseball teams should be able to stabilize their lineups much earlier than usual next spring because the major leagues will have to release more surplus players 30 days earlier than in the past. The major leagues Tuesday accepted the minor league proposal to force the big league clubs to reduce their rosters to 28 men by the opening day of the major league season, usually before the opening day in any minor leagues. Previously, the major league clubs could retain 40 men if they chose until 30 days after the season opening. Most of them usually kept 30 players until just before the 30 day deadline requiring them to reduce their roster to 25. The rule forcing reduction of the major league rosters to 25 remains effective 30 days after the opening day of the season. The major leagues acceded to every request by the minor leagues and also adopted a resolution providing for the minor and major league meetings to be held at the same site each year with the minor leagues picking the location in odd numbered years and the majors naming the site in even numbered years. The club owners voted down a proposal forbidding the transfer of pionship games to npn-major league parks, thus permitting Brooklyn, it it wishes* to Continue playing league games in Jersey City. They also rejected a proposal to increase the allotment of World Series tickets to each major league team from 50 to 100. bn request of Commissioner Ford Frick, the owners voted out the rule governing the signing of college baseball players, effective Feb. 1. 1957. The current prohibits signing college players from the beginning of their sophomore year until their class graduates, except that a player may be signed in .case of hardship, shop Id he reach the age of 21, or should he quit school.

Clemson Downs North Carolina State Tuesday By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer Nobody, but nobody appeared safe today from the wave of upsets sweeping across the college basketball front. Clemson must have been at least a 20-point underdog for its game with North Carolina State Tuesday night. After all, the Tigers hadn’t beaten State on the hardwood since 1941. So look what happened! Clemson laughed at the odds and handi ed the Wolfpack a 96-94 defeat in overtime. It was the Tigers' first victory in three games this season (they won only nine of 26 last year), and State’s first defeat of the new campaign. Vince Yockel. a “Southern gentleman” from Jersey Qty, N.J., scored eight of Clemson’s final 10 points in regulation time to tie the score at 86-all and wound up with 31 points. Bill Yarborough’s four free throws in overtime provided the Tigers with their winning margin. Leopards Humble LaSalle In another eyebrow-raiser, Lafayette turned beck once-mighty LaSalle, 84-75, for the first time since 1949. This game was won at the foul line. LaSalle outscored the Leopards from the field, 30-27, but Lafayette canned 30 of 43 free throws compared to the Explorers' 15 of 22 mark. Fourth-ranked Southern Methodist lived to play another night, walloping Wichita, 93-70, for its fourth straight victory. The Mustangs scored 20 points in the first five minutes and wound up converting 44 of 66 field goal attempts. Jim Krebs scored 31 points for the winners. Washington & Lee turned back Richmond, 86-83, in overtime; Glen Jachec’s 25 points helped Houston defeat Sam Houston State, 85-83; Bowling Green edged Detroit, 67-66, on Jim McDonald's field goal, Wake Forest posted a 60-55 victory over Virginia, and Furman turned back William & Mary, 69-66. Columbia Downs Fordham Chet Forte tallied 32 points as Columbia downed Fordham, 99-84, for its fourth straight; Connecticut rolled to an 88-75 triumph over Rutgers; St. John’s defeated Hofstra, 59-44, as Walt Brady scored 20 points; Holy Cress opened its season with an 82-57 victory over St, Anselm, and St. Francis (NY.) spanked Fairfield, 71-53. Louisville and Dayton, twin upset victims last weekend, swing back into action tonight against "breather" opponents. Louisville, surprised by Canisius in its last start, plays Wayne at home while Dayton hopes to rebound from its loss to Depaul when it visits Miami (Ohio). Second-ranked North Carolina plays George Washington at Norfolk, N.C., while North Carolina State continues its road tour by meeting South Carolina at Charlotte, S.C. Other major games include Depaul at Purdue, Niagara at Syracuse, Oklahoma at Texas, Penn State at West Virginia, Temple at Princeton, and Seattle at St. Mary’s (Calif.). Workers' Training School At Monroe Again this year, plans are being made for a Sunday school workers’ training school to be held in the Monroe Methodist church. This school wifi be held on five successive Monday nights, beginning January 7 and closing February 4. - The sessions wiU be held from 7:15 through 9:18 p.m. each evening. Each registrant for the school will be able to take two of the four course that wiU be taught. Instructors for the classes will be Professor Charles W. Carter and Professor Walter F. Titus, both of whom are now instructors at Marlon College. The church schools in the Monroe area are sponsoring this training program and aU church school workers from all churches of this area are invited to register for this school, A similar school was held last year and proved to be very successful with an exceptionally large enrollment. Cooperating ministers and church school superintendents feel that thq program this year will even be more successful. Truck Forced Off Os Highway Today A truck loaded with radio parts was forced off the road early this morning on U. S. highway 224 east of Decatur at the state line curve. Driver of the truck was Floyd Pearcy, 29, of Indianapolis. The truck, forced off the highway by an unidentified car, went out of control, rolled over and Hit a power utility pole, knocking down power lines and cutting off the electrical service of the area. The accident occurred at about 5 a. m. Damage to the tractor was estimated at SSOO and there was no damage to the trailer. Deputy sheriff Charles Arnold and state trooper Dan Kwasneski investigated. ’
