Gerstmeyer Os Terre Haute Is Looming Strong INDIANAPOLIS (UPI-Terre Hautte Gerstmeyer's season record stood at eight straight today and ft began to look like coach Howard Sharpe’s quintet may be the “team to beat,’’ following last nights manhandling of city foe Schulte, 83-52, in Indiana high school basketball. In other key games, Logansport came from behind to nip Central Conference foe Peru, 51-37; North Manchester rocked Rochester, 88Tl; New Haven handed Fort Wayne Concordia its second straight Northeastern Conference loss, 6558; and Lafayette edged Frankfort, 54-52, in a North Central Conference game. Schulte gave Gerstmeyer all it could, handle as It battled to an 18-18 tie mid-way through the second quarter. But then Howard Dardeen, just returned to action from an illness, and big Charlie Hall began hitting the nets for Gerstmeyer and the Black Cats, ranked second in the United Press Coaches Poll, rolled to an easy win. Hall tallied 24 points and Dardeen chipped in 18 for Gerstmeyer. Jim Hinsley and Bob Scott each netted 13 for Schqlte. It wa s Schulte’s second loss in 8 games. They dropped the opener to Brazil, and then rolled t° six straight wins before bumping into *

Little Player Leads Columbia To 6th In Row By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Chet Forte, a 5-9 shrimp in an era of seven-foot court giants, had even a trio of skeptical NBA scouts convinced today that there’s still room for a good little man in basketball. A full 15 inches shorter than Kansas’ amazing Wilt Chamberlain, the 145-pound Forte showed he can be just as Upsetting an influence on a game Wednesday night when he led unbeaten Columbia to a 78-68 victory over Dartmouth. The pro scouts, who included Fuzzy Levane of the New York Knickerbockers, saw Forte hit on six of 11 field goals and seven of eight free throws for 19 points in addition to being credited with seven assists. Dartmouth's taller Indians “ganged up” on the little guy, but he then acted as a decoy and helped pass off to Rudy Milkey, who tallied 24*points. It was the sixth straight victory for Columbia. Ranks Second To Wilt Forte’s performance raised his season point total to 171, an average of 28.5 per game which ranks second only to Chamberlain’s 36.2 average. The mere appearance of the pro scouts was a personal triumph for Forte. If he’s signed at the completion of his college career, Forte would become the smallest National Basketball Association player in history. Western Kentucky, meanwhile, demonstrated that the honeymoon is really* over for San Francisco when it rallied to beat the Dons, 61-57, at Louisville, Ky. The 17thranked Hilltoppers were outscored from the field, 24-23, but had the edge at the foul line, 15-9. It was the second straight “official loss” for the Dons, who less than a week ago were riding high with their record 60-game winning streak Guard Eric Back tallied 17 points for Western Kentucky but San Francisco's Art Day was the game’s outstanding player with 23 tallies. Deacons Win Carrousel Wake Forest beat Auburn, 58-48, to win the Carrousel Tournament at Charlotte, N.C., for the second straight year. Wake Forest trailed, 28-22, at halftime but took the lead when Auburn went 12% minutes without a field goal in the second half. Bob Emrick’s 30 points enabled Florida to beat St. Joseph's, 86-72, and take third place in the tournament. 1 Tulane connected on 26 of 33 free throws to defeat Stanford, 64-53; Jerry Mallett and Troy Rushing tallied 21 points each to lead Louisiana State University to an 84-76 triumph over Baylor and Miami made 38 of 42 free throws to down Texas A&M, 86-80, in important intersectional games. All-America football player Ron ■Kramer had 15 points and guard George Lee canned 23 as Michigan crushed Kent State University, 100-60; Bobby Thym collected 23 as Vanderbilt whipped New Mexico/ 81-59; Harvard routed Brown, 92-47, Syracuse whipped Cornell, 86-59, and Princeton defeated Rutgers, 79-42, in other games. lowa Gridders On Two-A-Day Drills PASADENA, Calif. (IP) — University of lowa’s Rose Bowl football team got down to serious work today after taking an afternoon off to visit Disneyland.

Spider Webb Winner Over British Champ CHICAGO (IP — Spider Webb drew a bead on every top ranking middleweight today after his 18th. straight triumph, a second round technical knockout win over the British Empire title-holder, Pat Me Ateer. “I think I ought to be cham-. pion,” he said, “and I’ll be glad to fight any middelweight ranked above me until I get to be the champion.” , More than half of the Colonial troops who fought at Bunker Hill were New Hampshire men under the leadership'of John Stark.

Davis Cuppers Incensed Over Australian Snub ADELAIDE, Australia (UP)— United States Davis Cup players are incensed today over an Australian snub but even their best friend “Down Under” says it won’t do ’em any good. The bad feeling developed when Australia violated an unwritten rule by not inviting the U.S. players to remain there for the national championships at Melbourne next month. The Aussies wouldn’t have been more blunt if they said, “go home, Yanks, you’re so bad nobody wants to see you play.’’ Billy Talbert, non-playing captain of the U.S. “unwanteds,” protested vehemently because be wants youngsters Mike Green of Miami Beach, Fla., and Myron Franks of Santa Monica, Calif., to gain added experience in the nationals and a meeting was scheduled to settle the dispute later this week. Some experts thought the snub might inspire the U.S. players to “show up” the Australians by beating them in the challenge round, Dec. 26-27-28 but Dinny Pails, who qualifies as the Yanks’ best friend “Down Under", says that “would take a tennis miracle.” “I’m not going to say this is the worst U.S. Davis Cup team ever to visit Australia, but on paper it figures to lose in five straight matches,” said the former Aussie net ace who has helped coach the last five U.S. teams. “None of the American players measures up to Lew Hoad or Ken Rosewall. i Pails, who Talbert says “is an invaluable aid to us,” did give Vic I Seixas, the 33-year old star of the I U.S. team, “a chance’ to beat Hoad .under certain conditions” but he added, “don’t count on it.” National League Names Two New Umpires CINCINNATI, Ohio (IP) — The National League today named former St. Louis Cardinal pitcher Ken Burkhart and Tony Venzon as leaving the and thew ordnulwkvw umpires for the 1957 season to replace Artie Gore and Bill Engeln. Gore is retiring and Engeln is leaving the field of baseball officiating to devote full time to a men’s furnishings company in Palo Alto, Calif.
