Indiana High Schools Open Grid Practice INDIANAPOLIS (UP)-At least 15.500 boys representing 205 schools were expected to turn out today for the first pre - season practice session permitted under Indiana High School Athletic Association regulations. , Many of the hopefuls will be cut from the squads before the first game, but that didn't appear to cut down on the enthusiasm. Some schools were expected to swing into action right away, while others planned to issue equipment and conduct physical examinations the first day and follow up with the first drills Friday. Commissioner L.V. Phillips said 205 or more teams were expected to take the field this fall. That included 184 teams in 11-man football. 8 in 8-man and 13 in 6-man. Phillips said the total is one more than in 1956. Two new additions and one drop in the 11-man list accounted for the gain, he said. Salem and Southwestern High of Tippecanoe County have indicated they will field squads this season while Morton Memorial of Knightstown dropped from the ranks. Some openers have been scheduled for as early as Aug. 30. But schools starting their campaigns prior to Sept. 1 are required to be in session under a rule passed last year, Phillips said.

must take part in 10 practice sessions on 10 separate days to be eligible for season play. Participants also are required to turn in physician’s certificates on physical fitness and must have written consent from their parents. At least three major rule changes will go into effect this season, according to Robert 8. Hinshaw, assistant commissioner. One of then! is designed to do away with the so-called “sucker shift.” It says "any movement of the hand, foot, head or body by a player on the line between the snapper and the player on the end of the line will be an infraction of the shift rule. Hinshaw said it appUes mainly to guards and tackles who previously had lured opposing linemen offside. Another new rule prohibits a player “from grasping a face mask or face bar attached to the helmet of a player.” The rule applies to players attempting to stop the ball carrier as well as to linemen. A third new rule “permits one player to talk with a coach at the sidelines in front of the coaches’ box during a charged timeout by a team.” Hinshaw said the rules structure also includes “eight minor changes and several editorial changes.” Terre Haute Wiley, Richmond and Connersville will be on the spot as Indiana’s only unbeaten and untied elevens in 1956. Unbeaten but tied were Evansville Reitz and Royerton. Baseball Parctice At Adams Central Monday Leroy Cable, head coach at the Adams Central high school, today announced the first call for, practice for the Grayhounds’ baseall team. All Adams Central high school athletes wishing to try out for the baseball team are asked to report at the school next Monday morning at 9 o’clock.

Hutchinson Says Everything Wrong CHICAQO (UP) — Fred Hutehinsoft, looking only as a manager with eight straight losses and an expiring contract can look, today bitterly blamed the Cardinals’ sluttip “on everything you can think of.” “The whole works just fell apart —the hitting, the fielding, the pitching. Is there anything else that can go wrong?” he asked. The glum St. Louis manager had just shifted his batting order for

the first time in the eight-straight debacle, benching Wally Moon and Ken Boyer. He stood behind the batting cage watching the Cards in a practice batting session before what turned out to be their fifth setback by the lowly Chicago Cubs. But Hutchinson, whose $30,000-a---year pact terminates at the end of the season, refused to believe the Cardinals are entirely out of the race. "What has happened to us can happen to Milwaukee,” he said of the league-landing Braves who in the space Os 16 days erased the Cards’ 54 game lead and left them 7 games behind. Hutchinson conceded that the

Braves are the beat bet to take the flag, but said he “really does not give a damn” who wins if the Cards fail. The Cardinals head for Milwaukee for a four-game set with the Braves after today’s finale with the Cubs. Hutchinson said his individual disappointments have been both Moon and Boyer > among the hitters and Vinegar Bend Mizell in the pitching department. "Moon and Boyer got off to a bad start and never got going," he said. "Mizell got off to a bad start, but he’s been looking better recenuV.” In his line-up switen.
