Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Kendallville at Yellow Jackets. Hartford at Adams Central. Berne at Monmouth. Bryant at Pleasant Mills. Pennville at Geneva. Saturday Commodores at Clear Creek. - Geneva at Lancaster Central Fewer Fouls Celled In Big Ten Games | CHICAGO <UF> — Fouls in Big Ten basketball games this season are running almost 10 per cent under games last year, it was announced today, possibly reflecting an experiment with two rules. The experiments eliminate the 'bonus free throw on the first six fouls on each team in each half and fouls are not called for minor Icontact not affecting ball control. I The reduction in fouls has caused a drop of 28 per cent in the number of free throws attempted, and points scored by free throws have dropped from 43.3 per game to 31, almost duplicating the dei crease in overall team scoring. | Ohio State’s league leaders, unbeaten in conference competition, are the best defensive club in the loop, the figures showed, allowing i only 63.2 points per game, and are [hitting on field goals at a record accuracy percentage of .458. The league record oh field goal shooting is .413 by lowa in 1955. Archie Dees of Indiana continued to lead individual scorers with a 24.2 point per game average with Ohio State’s Frank Howard second with 21.8 and George Kline, Minnesota, third at 20.5. Kline led in field goal accuracy with a .571 mark. Gerstmeyer Wins Way To Semi-Final TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UP)— Favored Terre Haute Gerstmeyer and four other former champions came through with flying colors Wednesday night to lead the way into tonight’s semi-finals of the 42nd annual Wabash Valley High School basketball tourney. Gerstmeyer was - joined by defending champion Greencastle and’ ex-champs Brazil, Clinton and Plainville, but two other past tourney winners, Terre Haute State and Switz City, bit the dust. Gerstmeyer, ranked No. 2 in the United Press coaches poll, had an easy time with Sullivah, 6843. Greencastle downed North Salem, 78-62; Brazil edged Ellettsville, 53-51, in the closest game of die night; Richland Twp. swept by Rosedale, 54-45; and Clinton squeaked by Kansas, Hl., 74-71. Plainville extended its unbeaten string to 15 by downing Vincennes Catholic, 64-46; Sandborn romped over Switz City. 59-34; and Newton remained the only Illinois team in the running with a 38-32 decision over Terre Haute State. Sullivan held unbeaten Gerstmeyer to a 12-11 first-period edge, but then the Black Cats found the range and galloped to their 17th straight win this season.

No-Hit Larsen Rejects First Yank Contract NEW YORK (UP) — General Manager George Weiss of the New York Yankees parried Don Larson’s opening bid for a $27,500 contract today on the theory that one perfect game doesn’t make a season. “Don will get every consideration in his new contract for having pitched his masterpiece,” said Weiss in reply to the World Series hero’s demand. “But we have an entire season to think of, too, and how many games did he win nWe.?r ; . Larsen, who actually had an 11-5 record during the regular American League campaign, announced in San Diego, Calif., Wednesday that he has returned the Yankees’ first offer unsigned and added that he might quit baseball if his demand in not met. It was reported by a source close to Larsen that the Yankees had offered him about a $4,500 increase. Quitting Talk Not Serious Weiss refused to discuss figures but made it plain he isn’t taking Larsen’s talk of quitting baseball seriously. Weiss said his next step, after actually receiving the rejected contract, “will be to decide whether to offer Don a new contract calling for a little more money or discuss the matter with him so he sees our point of view.” He laughed off suggestions that any “emergency head-to-head meeting" might be called, explaining, “some players have away of asking for a lot more than they* ever expect to get." Larsen, who achieved his unique share of immortality with his perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers, Oct. 8, joined'slugger Mickey Mantle as a Yankee holdout. Mantle, the American League's triple crown winner and Most Valuable Player, is demanding $60,000. Had Been Disappointment Larsen was a disappointment to the Yankees until September when he started to use his now-famous “no-windup windup." He reeled off four consecutive fine performances at the close of the season, was knocked out of the box in the second game of the World Series the only perfect game in Series annals. 1 : _ It’s on the basis of the “perfect game pitcher” that he’s making his salary bid but it’s plain that it’s on the basis of the “imperfect season pitcher" that Weiss is countering with his own offer. The Yankees were among the group of major league teams who did announce signings today. They obtained signatures from shortstops Billy ; last year, and Jerry Lumpe, who flopped in an early season trial and was farmed out to Richmond. Jim Hearn, veteran righthander obtained from the Giants last October after a 5-11 year, became the fourth Philadelphi Philie to sign. Walt Dropo, top fielding first baseman in the American League last season with a .993 fielding mark, sent in his autograph to the Chicago White Sox along with 'pitchers Paul LaPalme and Jim Wilson, catcher Les Moss, and bonus baby outfielder-pitcher Bob Powell. Among the others to sign were: pitchers Don Liddle , and Lloyd Merritt and first baseman Rocky Nelson of the St. Louis Cardinals; catchers Danny Kravitz and Dick Rand of the Pittsburgh Pirates; outfielder Bob Cerv of the Kansas Qty As; and three Brooklyn

The battle to establish an outstanding golfer for 1957 resumed today as the $15,001 Thunderbird Invitational Tournament got under way with the top 30 money winners of 1956 competing. In three tournaments held prior to the start of this one in 1957 the results have been like this: Los Angeles Open—Doug Ford; Bing Crosby event at Pebble Beach — Jay Hebert; Caliente Open—Ed Furgol. Those names have been around in the golfing circles fox a decade <ort more in thi cauWl as stand-outs. But there won’t be a favorite in this lot unless it is Dr. Cary Mitjdlecoff, the National Open champion. Middlecoff competed in both the Los Angeles and Bing Crosby events. He pleaded illness at Pebble Beach, but shot good golf. Middlecoff and Jackie Burke, the National PGA and Masters champion, will be holding the spotlight. But the top money winners also include Dow Finsterwald who won more money than either man in 1956; Fred Hawkins, Dick Mayer, Billy Casper, Mike Fetchick, Tomrriy Bolt, Gene Littler, George Bayer, Dave Douglas, Frank Stranahan, Lloyd Mangrum apd Stan teqonard. Carlos Ortiz Wins 20th Fight In Row CHICAGO (UP)—Carlos Ortiz, an unranked but unbeaten lightweight, was marked up today for a bout with third ranked Larry Boardman in his next outing, but his manager, Ed Ferguson, wasn’t disturbed by the prospect. Ortiz, a Puerto Rican who has lived in New York for the last 10 years, earned the chance with a 10 round decision over Chicagoan Bobby Rogers Wednesday night on television for his 20th straight pro victory. “I didn't think he should have been in the top ten rankings before last night,” Ferguson said. “But after beating Rogers, who was a good tough kid, and considering who is in the top ten, I think he ought to be now." “We'll take the Boardman fight, if we can get it,” Ferguson said. “Carlos’ best fighting weight is 136 and he only weighed 134 last night. He picks up a lot of punching power with two more pounds.” Ortiz himself complained about the light weight and said “I wa. sloppy. If I’d weighed a couple, of pounds more, I would have tak»Mm out-of there; But-f jest felt weak.” —; Rogers, shaking his head after, the defeat, his third in 15 pro l fights, said however, that Ortiz never hurt him. “I’d like to fight him again,” he said. Schwa rtzwalder To Stay At Syracuse SYRACUSE. N. Y. (W — Floyd (Ben) Schwartzwalder, whose foot ball coaching success at Syracuse attracted the eyes erf Indiana and Southern California, will remain at Syracuse. Athletic Director Lewis Andreas made that announcement late Wednesday after conferring with the grid mentor who led the Orange team to a 7-1 season redord last year and into a Cotton Bowl berth where it lost to Texas Christian, 28-27.

Davis today for a preliminary hearing. Charles E. Weeks, special agent tn charge of the Miami FBI office, announced Wednesday night agents arrested Brown in a hotel room here on a federal warrant issued at Jacksonville charging him with interstate transportation of a $l5O worthless check. Brown’s arrest ended a long search by federal and local officials in a number of eastern and southeastern cities for a man who has been posing as die Cleveland Browns football star and bilking those who believed him out of hundreds of dollars. Weeks said the check which Brown cashed in Jacksonville was signed with Groza's name and was drawn on the non-existent '‘Cleveland First National Bank.” It is “anticipated that Brown has cashed numerous other checks and the investigation is continuing**’ the FBI said. Brown was confined in the Dade County Jail pending his preliminary hearing. In Cleveland, Groza told United Press similar reports of his name being falsely used have turned up in New York, Philadelphia, Jersey pty, N.J., New Orleans and Savannah, Ga. The FBI said Brown told agents he was on probation in Pennsylvania for charges similar to those on which he was arrested here. Cubs Select Vet Fan For Opener CHICAGO (W — The Chicago Cubs today selected William Klose, one of their oldest and most devoted fans, to throw out the first ball before the opening game against the Milwaukee Braves on April 16.

Soviet Russia Gives Warning Os Retaliation Seen As Moscow's Answer To Ike's Mid-East Doctrine LONDON (UP) — Nations of the free world today viewed the Soviet Union’s “atomic retaliation’’ warning as Moscow’s reply to the Eisenhower Doctrine for the Middle East. All agreed it can not be ignored. The Soviet Communist Party newspaper Pravda said Wednesday the United States may turn the Middle East and the Far East into “hotbeds of atomic warfare” by carrying out reported plans to establish atom-armed American units in Turkey, Iran,. Japan and Okinawa. The official Soviet Tass news agency immediately picked up the charge where Pravda 1 left off and warned U.S. Allies they might become the first victims of any atomic war. It specifically singled jut for warning Britain, France, West Germany, Italy, Turkey, Iran and Japan. ' But in Washington, President Eisenhower left open the question of whether U.S. forces might be armed with atomic weapons if forced to fight Communist aggression in the Middle East. He said a final decision has not been reached, although his proposed “doctrine" for the Middle East promises to use force if necessary to battle Communist aggression. Mr. Eisenhower also said one of the chief aims of his administration during the next four years will be to achieve a better understanding with the Soviet Union. Western observers saw the Soviet Union extremely worried by President Eisenhower’s recent budget message calling for the U.S. Army to increase its number >f atomic support commands to back up the ground forces of allied nations. The military correspondent of the London Times wrote today that "the obvious aim of the Pravda article is to frighten the Mideast countries. . ." Western observers in Moscow read in the article the same veiled threat against the Eisenhower Doctrine that they saw in Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin's "rocket weapon 11 note of last November. That note warned Britain and Fraftee-to stop-ttrefr atttrrtr-bn' Egypt and pointed out that “there are countries which need not have sent a navy or air force to the coasts of Britain but could have used other means, such as rocket techniques.’’

Pledges Safeguard On Atomic Energy To Safeguard For Free Competition NEW YORK (UP)—Atty. Gen. Herbert Brownell Jr. today promised to "keep a close eye” on the field of atomic energy to safeguard it for free competition. However, he said “the volume of competitive problems in this field has not yet been large." In a speech to the anti-trust section of the New York Bar Assn., Brownell said his department “will continue close consultations with the (Atomic Energy) Commission and will advise them immediately of any situation” which may appear to be a tendency toward “anticompetitive concentration.” "We are also prepared to inform Congress, without delay, of any need which may develop for changes in the basic statutes to provide additional competitive safeguards,” Brownell said. Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney (D-Wyo) told the lawyers Wednesday night that if the “drift” toward big business continues this nation “will fall under the control of a private collectivist economic government.” O’.Mahoney, who heads the Senate Committee on Anti-Trust and Monopoly, said that the 100 biggest corporations in the United States are in reality “collectivist states.” He- said our political and economic freedom is being threatened by the “almost unlimited” power of big business. He added that the anti-trust laws are so “discretionary” that the party in power can interpret them in any way it suits its immediate political ends. If economic concentration is to be halted, he said, the anti-trust laws must be rewritten in "clear language” which cap be open to only one interpretation.
