Ohio State Is Handed First Big Ten Loss CHICAGO (UP) — Ohio State’s six-game winning streak was at an end today and Purdue took solid possession of second place in the Big Ten basketball chase. It remained tor lowly Michigan State to turn the trick against the front-running Buckeyes, the nation’s 10th ranked team. The Spartans, operating on their home court and scoring their second straight upset, tripped the Ohio Staters, 73-64. The Boilermakers jumped into the runner-up spot with an 81-77 victory over Northwestern on the latter’s floor Monday night. Illinois and Michigan, idle Monday night, thus were dumped to a third place tie with three wins in four games apiece. Control The Boards The Spartans, unable to achieve a Big Ten victory until their 72-59 surprise romp over Minnesota Saturday night, beat the Buckeyes at. their own game Monday night. They controlled the boards, outshone the Buckeyes a‘t their specialty of rebodnding and outshot them from the floor. Guard Jack Quiggle, who missed the Gopher contest because he broke training, rules, supplied the I scoring punch with 21 points. Soph- > omore John Green controlled the boards for the Spartans and held Buckeye scoring ace Frank How,_ard to four field goals. Nlhe setback was the first for the Bucieyes since Dec. 29 when Brigbam Young tagged them, 8478, in York’s Holiday Tournament. Since that date Coach Forddy Anderson’s crew had amassed five wins over second division quintets and one over Purdue. Play Illinois Next The Buckeyes’ next opponent is the high-scoring Illini five who will be without the services of 6-foot 8-inch center George Bon Salle. The league’s third-ranked pointmaker was ruled ineligible because of scholastic difficulties. Little Joe Campbell, who had averaged 10 points a contest until Monday night, exploded for 24 over the Wildcats. The 5-foot 7-inch senior guard shared scoring honors with Northwestern’s sophomore guard Dick Johnson. The BoifermakefST who afd bd-' coming accustomed to throttling last-minute enemy rallies, had to fight off the Wildcats in the final four minutes after they came from behind to tie the score jit 72-72. The victory was the fourth in' five games for the Boilermakers whose next opposition will be furnished by the Illini Saturday night. Pro Basketball Boston 105 Philadelphia 95.

Gene Fullmer Wins Over Wilf Greaves SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (UP)Gene Fullmer, welder, mink rancher and middleweight boxing champion, has ably demonstrated that he intends to keep his title for a long time. The bull-necked Utah boxer gave that impression Monday night by lathering rugged Wilf Greaves of Pittsburgh, for an unanimous 10l round decision in a non-title and overweight slugfest in the Utah Fairgrounds Coliseum. It was Fullmer’s first bout since he dethroned Sugar Ray Robinson Jan. 2 at New York City. While j Fullmer won the unanimous nod, ;he was unable to floor the courageous former Canadian Amateur champ who was making only his 16th appearance as a professional. Fullmer used his usual bruising, boring-in style to carry the fight most of the way. But the plaudits of the 3,000 fans Went to the visitor whose red and bruised body was evidence of a thorough pounding at the hands of the champion. The Utah favorite, weighing 160*4, took command in the fourth round, but only after Greaves, weighing 162, opened a small cut over his left eye in the first round. After the third, Greaves, who has a style similar to the champion, was content to slug it out at close range. While he was on the receiving end of the champ’s devastating body attack, Greaves won raves from the fans for his fine retaliating.

Purdue Players Are Declared Ineligible LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UP) - Purdue’s chances for the Big Ten basketball championship were jolted today when three sophomores, including Harvey Austin and Wilson Eison, were declared scholastically ineligible. Austin, of Buffalo, N. Y., caged 18 points Monday night as the Boilermakers won at Northwestern, 8177, for their fourth conference decision in five starts.;; ~ He alternated at one starling guard spot with Charley Kehrt. Eison, a 6-6 performer from Gary, Ind., was one of coach Ray Eddy's top substitutes. Also ineligible for the remainder of the season is Leo Helmuth, Kokomo, Ind. All three are off the varsity effective immediately because Purdue’s second semester begins Thursday. Eddy indicated he probably will move Bob Fehrman up to replace Eison. Amoros Seeks More Money From Dodgers By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer Don’t look now but Sandy Amoros, the Dodgers’ perpetual problem child, is plaguing ’em again. Sandy, who got into all kinds of hot water with bobbles, boners and what-nots in Brooklyn’s stretch run last September,, only to emerge as a hero in the subsequent battle for the pennant, probably will come out all right again but right now he wants more money. Amoros, who batted .260 in 114 games, is one of the three remaining unsigned Dodger players. The other two are infielder Chico Fernandez and pitcher Bob Darnell. Came Through In Clutch Playing in the Cuba winter league, now Sandy undoubtedly remembers how some of his Dodger teammates took him over the coals for costing them a crucial game against the Phillies in the last month of the 1956 campaign. Shortly afterward, however, he came through with a couple of key hits. At any rate, Sandy is having his troubles getting base hits in Cuba at the moment (he’s batting less than .250) and he’s in no particular hurry to sign his contract and shoot rs back to the Brooklyn front' office-..... ... Brooklyn had better luck with four of its ’ other today,, however, with the receipt of’signed contracts from catcher Al <Rube) Walker and outfielders Gino Cimoli, Bert Hamric and Bob Wilson. Giants Sign Two Outfielder Dusty Rhodes and catcher Bill Sarni agreed to terms with the Giants, making a total of 25 who have signed with the club so far. ’ Ray Crone and Taylor Phillips, two pitchers who figure prominently in Milwaukee’s plans, signed their contracts with the. Braves. Phillips had a 6-5 record with the. Braves after joining them in midseason from Wichita and Crone, used chiefly in relief, won 11 games and lost 10. Relief pitcher Joe Dahlke and utility outfielder John “Bubba" Phillips signed with the White Sox, bringing their total to 17, and the Orioles made it 20 men in tow with the signing of catcher Joe Gins- I berg and rookie outfielcrcr Angelo Dagres.

Greencastle May Be First To Break Jinx INDIANAPOLIS <UP) - Since jinxes are being shattered left and right in Indiana high school basketball these days, don't be surprised if Greencastle becomes the first Wabash Valley champion to go all the way in the "State’’ the same season. It’s never been done, of course, but up to a couple of years ago no Negro quintet ever reached the championship game (then Indianapolis Attacks and Gary Roosevelt had things their own way), and up to 1955 no Indianapolis team ever crashed through. Attacks set another precedent by racking up a perfect season. Nothing would surprise Greencastle coach Tom Goldsberry, who apparently has mastered to ride out this perennial “Madness” with a mixture of philosophy and sound coaching. Right on Target Goldsberry and his Tiger Cubs confounded the "experts” by successfully defending their Valley championship last Saturday in one of the season’s top upsets that clipped powerful Terre Haute Gerstmeyer’s 19-game winning streak, 76-74. Only two months earlier, Gerstmeyer ripped Greencastle by 13 points. . "We played them. a real good ball game then,” recalled Goldsberry, “and we felt like we could get the job done. We had to be nearly perfect to do it, and the boys did a real exceptional job in every department.” All Greencastle did was hit exactly half its shots from the field, then sink 24 attempts from the charity stripe for a perfect score. The difference last November, said Goldsberry, was his biggest boy, 6 foot 5*4 inch Lemuel Patterson, fouled out early in the second half. And John Ray, who stands 6-4, didn’t start practice until the Christmas vacations because of a football injury. "Our other boys are awfully small,” said Goldsberry, “but Patterson and Ray give us height.” “Yen Got To Have Lack” He said Charles Dickson, a 5-9 shooter, does a “terrific amount” of rebounding. The other starters, all below 5-10, are Bergie Remsburg and either Bill Fobes or Gib Brown. Then there is sub center John Carson, who had- a bout with polio that still affects one leg, and Bob York is another fine sub. Last season, Greencastle finished with an 18-6 record, but despite reports to the contrary 1 , Goldsberry said this year's club with a 16-2 mark, is stronger. “This is a better shooting ballclub, they are also better rebounders now, and we have a good bench,” he said. You got to have some luck to win the big show starting next month, said Goldsberry, and be “up” for every game. “These kids have been shooting about 50 per cent from the field .all season,” he.said, “and with a ’group like that it could happen. “But you got to have luck and keep your feet on the ground . .

Today's Sport Parade Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer MIAMI, (UP) — Ted Williams, baseball's greatest hitter, today modestly identified Mickey Mantle as “the best batter of this era” and added that the New York Yankees again would be the team to beat for the American League nennant. Williams, jean, tanned aqd fit, will go to Boston on Friday to sign his sixth contract at an estimated SIOO,OOO for another season as the big stick of the Boston Red Sox. And the four-time batting champion left no doubt but what he expected to give Mantle a run for the crown, in the coming season. “Mantle surely was entitled to the batting championship,” said Williams of the Oklahoma kid who won the American League title with a .359 mark against his .345 percentage and a lifetime average of .348. “Mickey is certainly the best hitter of this era and should wind up as one of the all-time greats,” Ted added with conviction. “But I am sure that, the way I feel, I can play at least 100 games this season.” Hopes For 25 Homers Ted also grinned that he “thought” he could hit “at least .330 and maybe bang about 25 home runs.” “Meanwhile,” he added, “I’m going to try to beat that young fellow from the Yankees out of the batting championship—and the new rule which includes bases on balls in the necessary 477 times at bat doesn't figure to hurt me too much.” As one of the perennial leaders in walks, Williams figures to benefit greatly from the new ruling. With his walks being counted, he won’t have to go for the bad pitches coming down the stretch to get the previously-needed 400 at-bats necessary to be eligible for j

the batting championship. Williams, always a forthright talker, asserted that the American League pennant .race was “between the Yankees and seven contenders.” “I hope I’m not misunderstood, again,” he laughed. “I think our Red Sox have a terrific potential apd you can bet we’ll give it a run all the way. But who’s going to deny that the Yankees are the team to beat?” ' ■ Respects Larsen’s Pitching Ted admitted, too, that he has tor a long time had a terrific regard for Don Larsen, the Yankees’ no-hit World Series hero. “Way back when he was with the St. Louis Browns I said he was the most deceptive pitcher I had seen in a long time,” Ted explained. “Well, I think the Dodgers will agree with me, anyhow.” Williams, who still carries a 10inch pin in his shoulder as result of a shoulder separation operation several years back, said that it bothered him now only during cold weather. “I feel great and I’m looking forward to this season—and several more,” he reiterated. “I’d like to win that batting championship again—and maybe again.” Which, considering his admiration of Mantle, may be something of an enigma. But then, you have to remember that the immortal Ty Cobb named Williams as the greatest hitter of this era—and from the looks of tall Ted, his era isn’t anywhere near ended.
