g Michigan State | Ties Indiana In Loop Lead CHICAGO (UP) — Michigan State joined Indiana today at the top of the Big Ten basketball scramble after scoring its ninth straight conference victory. The Spartans, who walloped last place Wisconsin, 78-62, Monday night got an assist from state rival Michigan which came through with a narrow 87-86 decision over Indiana. The results left both the Spartans and the Hoosiers with nine wins and three losses and set the stage for their showdown match at East Lansing, Mich. Saturday night. In other games last night, Illinois won its seventh in 12 league starts with a 79-72 win over Ohio State to virtually eliminate the Buckeyes from title consideration, and Minnesota, aided by George Kline's team record of 40 points, overwhelmed lowa, 102-81. The loss for the Hoosiers ended a seven-game victory streak and robbed them of sole possession of the lead for the first time since they took over on Feb. 9. Archie Dees, the Big Ten’s leading scorer with a 25-point average, did his best for the Hoosiers, pumping in 39 points to better his <1 previous personal season record of The Hoosiers led in the first half and came within a point near the end of the game. But a last-minute free throw by Pete Tillotson iced 4 —the one-point decision for- thie Wolverines. Rebound ace Johnny Green supplied the scoring punch in the I Spartan victory and wound up in a tie for scoring honors with Wisconsin’s Bob Litzow, each with 20 points. The Spartans were behind only intermittently in the first half but encountered no trouble after the intermission. The Illini led most ol the way, , in handing Ohio State its fourth defeat against eight wins and staged a final scoring spurt in the final eight minutes to preserve their lead. Don Ohl with 19 points was top scorer for Illinois and Frank Howard paced the Buckeyes with 23. Kline’s 40-point effort for the Gophers catapulted him from the “ > seventh-qgiaißg ' ' -«li .in.-

Pro Football i Ruled Subject j To Anti-Trust 1 Washington (UP) — sen. 1 Estes Kefauver ordered a staff ’ study of the anti-trust status of ■ various professional sports today 1 to determine possible action by his Senate Anti-Monopoly subcommiti tee. I The Tennessee Democrat acted s in the wake of a 6-3 decision handed down Monday in which the U.S. Supreme Court refused to give professional football the immunity from anti-trust prosecution enjoyed by organized baseball. “1 will have the subcommittee • staff look into the whole question and thoroughly research the background,” Kefauver told the United 1 Press. “Then the subcommittee, at ' an early meeting, can consider 5 whether it should look into the sit- ’ nation further." Bell Accepts Ruling ' Kefauver, who played football ' for the University of Tennessee ■ and captained its track team, expressed personal Interest in the ’ question. He said he plans to read ’ the high court’s football decision in full and added he has received some memos on the question of professional sports and anti - mo-

popoly laws. In Philadelphia, National Football League Commissioner Bert Bell said, “I usually thought all Sople had the same rights but if ey’re different accordingto the Supreme Court, then they’re different.” Other comment from NFL owners was generally cautious, but Walter Wolfner, managing director of the Chicago Cardinals, expressed the thought uppermost In most minds when he stated: "Football can’t live without the reserve list. . .if there’s no reserve clause in fbotball, there won't be any football, and there won’t be any basketball or any other pro sport either.’' Reserve Clause Defined The reserve clause binds professional athletes to the teams with which they start their careers unless they are traded or “sold.” The baseball reserve clause, similar but not identical to the football provision, was a central issue in the 1953 baseball case. Chairman Emanuel Celler (D---NY) also expressed congressional ’ interest. The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, which investigated baseball in 1951, called the football decision “propi er ” ‘ Celler said the Supreme Court now should reverse its earlier decisions and list pro baseball as a business subject to anti - trust laws. He said: "You can’t call one a fish and the other a fowl.” He indicated, however, he does not plan to offer any legislation to . make baseball subject to anti-trust

laws. The court’s original baseball decision, handed down in 1922, stated that professional baseball was not interstate commerce. In 1953, the court upheld its ,earlier decision on baseball. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — they bring results.
