Rules Changes Should Better Hardwood Game . By KURT FREUDENTHAL ... ..United Press Sports Writer INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — Indiana’s high school basketball season, a five-month ‘ rat race” for Hoosierland's most cherished sports trophy, opens Friday and chances are you’ll find it a better game. The rule-makers put a dozen new regulations into play for the 1957-58 campaign, many of them important enough to meet merit attention. Stalling, under the new rules, probably is a thing of the past. An. official, after warning a team, may assess a technical foul if the strategy is not stopped. No bonus free throw, will be awarded until after the fourth "common" personal foul in each half. The free throw lanes have been widened from 8 feet to 12 —the same as in >the National Basketball Association. A jump ball will take the place of free throws awarded on double fouls. Many of the IHSAA’s 730 smaller full-time member schools will tip the lid of the new season this weekend. ... .Madison Should Improve ... Among the better hardwood schools, Madison, Scottsburg, and Washington Catholic open Friday. Madison, state champ in 1950, should improve on last year’s 135 record. The Cubs have three starters measuring 6-2 or better. Buster Briley, a 6-4 sophomore sho started as a freshman last year, is the biggest. Madison entertains Salem, Scottsburg is at Paoli, and Plainville at Washington Catholic. Defending state champion South Bend Central, with another team battling for the state s mythical football title, opens in basketball against Gary Roosevelt Nov. 16. Elmer McCall's Bears own a 30game winning streak and must extend their string to 46 if they want to surpass the record by twotime state king Indianapolis Attacks. Madisan, Aurora, Vevay and North Vernon dropped out of the bulky outheastern Conference last spring. Batesville and Lawrenceburg withdrew last year. Aurora won both the Southeastern and Fa stern Conference. ...titles -La-S-t season. Lewisville has three lettermen back from last year’s crew, unbeaten in regular season play. The Henry County club opens against Mount Summit at Ne w Castle Friday. Huntertown, with five players 6-3 or taller, should improve on last year’s 6-14 record. Hartford Center, 23-2 last time, has four starters back, including junior Fred Miller, at 6-7. Gilead, 1-19 last season, has cleaned house add new coach Nels □neal inherited six lettermen for Friday’s opener against Deedsville. Coaching changes were too numerous to mention in the lower echelons since last spring, but at least two are noteworthy. Spunky Charlie Hodson, who helped Muncie Central to state titles in 1951 and 1952 before playing for Branch McCracken at Indiana, is the new -oach at Eaton. The Norsemen lost all but three lettermen. They start Friday against Harrison Twp. McCracken’s son, Dave, a 1956 graduate of DePauw, starts his coaching career at Daleville near Muncie. . . The majority of the perennial “name” teams won’t get their baptism until the third or fourth week of November.

Michigan Hard At Work For lowa Battle By UNITED PRESS Michigan, which must beat lowa this weekend to keep its Rose Bowl hopes alive, knuckled down to rough drills in preparation for Saturday’s battle. The Wolverines departed from . their routine of light Monday drills and instead turned in a brisk workout on defensing unbeaten lowa’s plays against third and fourth stringers and sharpening their own offense. First string end Dave Bowers may be out for the rest of the season with a dislocated shoulder" suffered in tast Saturday day’s game. • Ohio State, also with high hopes for a trip to the Rose Bowl, ran through .a light drill Monday in readying tor its homecoming game with Northwestern. Coach Woody Hayes warned against taking the Wildcats lightly, declaring the Buckeyes “will have to play our best game of the season to win.” Defending Big Ten Champion lowa went through a rugged contact drill, and heard scouting re. ports on the Michigan team. Pill Lapham, 250-pound center, ran with the No. 1 squad Monday, replacing starter Mac Lewis who suffered a chipped bone in his left hand. Michigan State also departed from routine by scheduling a scrimmage session today. It is the first time in at least two seasons the Spartans will scrimmage after the season has started. Daugherty admitted he was disappointed with the team against Illinois, but defended the Spartans by saying “it isn’t right to expect the kids to win every game by a big score, especially in the Big Ten.” Illinois was bolstered Monday with the return of fleet end Rich Kreitling, who missed Saturday’s game against Michigan State due to an injured back. Kreitling did his first running in a week with the Illini in Monday’s drill. Minnesota's varsity was excused from practice to give the ailing squad a chance to recover from Saturday’s setback against Michigan. The lengthy sick list included halfback Billy Martin with a bruised shoulder, tackle Norm Sixta with a sprained elbow, guard Paul Barrington and quarterback Jim Reese with sore knees, and guard Dave Burkholder with a sprained ankle. Wisconsin, whose ground game was found wanting against Ohio State, took to the air in practice with one of‘ the longest drills of the year Monday on forward pass-, ing. The Badgers face powerful Michigan State this weekend. Purdue began preparations tor its game against Illinois by drilling on defense. Coach Jack Mollenkopf said he hoped quarterback Bob Spoo. who has been hampered by a hand injury, will be ready for full time duty by aturday. Indiana expects to be at full strength for its meeting with Minnesota. The Hoosiers celebrated their first victory of the season against Villanova by holding light drills Monday. Injuries to two regulars hampered Northwestern as the Wildcats began workouts for the Ohio State game. Fullback Ed Quinn suffered a wrenched back and halfback Bob McKeiver nursed bruised ribs. Homever, guard Jack Siatta and tackle Gene Gossage returned to drills after being out several weeks. Notre Dame faced a heavy run of contact work this week in preparing for its encounter with Navy. The Irish ran through contact drills Monday and Coach Terry Brennan said he expected to spend much time on pass defense and more contact work during the week.

Lopez, Hutchinson Managers Os Year NEW YORK (UP)—Fred Hutchinson and Al Lopez, nice guys who finished second, were chosen today as the United Press major league managers of the year for 1957.. The 38-year-old manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and the 49-year-old pilot of the Chicago White Sox were honored by two special committees of 24 baseball writers. In each case, the writers picked a manager who “did the most with his material” rather than a pen-nant-winner. The National League committee selected Hutchinson over Fred Haney of the Milwaukee Braves, 16-7, with one vote for Bill Rigney of the New York Giants. The American League* committee chose. ..Lopez, .over. .Paul. Richards of the Baltimore Orioles, 12-10, with two votes for Casey Stengel of the New York Yankees. Hutchinson, in his second season with the Cardinals, led the Redbirds’ surprising bid for the National League flag. Picked no better than fourth by most pre-season analysists and tabbed tor the sec-ond-division by many, the Cardinals threatened the Braves all the way and were only 2*4 games behind the front-runners on Sept. 15. Lopez, taking over the White Sox after six years with the Cleveland Indians, led’the club to its best finish since 1920. Obviously outmanned by the Yankees, the White Sox nevertheless carried the fight to the defending world champions. , “Winning this pennant caused me more worries than any other,” said Stengel the night the Yankees clinched the pennant. “And the reason is that Lopez kept them hustling every minute of the pennant race.” Arm Amputated Aftci Corn Picker Mishap The arm of Harlow Miller, of route 3, was amputated Saturday after it was badly mangled in a corn picker. Miller, an employee of the Decatur Casting company, was picking corn Saturday afternoon when the accident occurred. He started working around the machinery without turning off the machine.
