South Bend's Central Gains More Backing INDIANAPOLIS (UP> — The South Bend Central’ bandwagon continued to roll today, racking up its strongest showing of the season, but the fight for “place and show’’ spots in Indiana high school basketball was as hot as ever. South Bend's state champions, beaten only once in 13 starts through last Saturday, collared 16 first-place -votes from the United Press coaches’ board, one second and one third for 177 points—just 13 short of a clean sweep. They led the pack for the fifth time in six weeks. Fort Wayne South, with an impressive 72-63 victory over strong city rival Central a week ago, vaulted all the way from eighth place to second with a total of 128 points, while Central remained put at third. Terre Haute Garfield, the team to beat in this week*s Wabash Valley tourney wihd-up, moved up from seventh to a tie for third, and Kokomo remained fifth. Jeff. Attacks Skid The lower bracket, in order, was composed of Lafayette, Jeffersonville, Vincennes, Muncie Central. and Indianapolis Attucks. Vincennes climbed from 10th to eighth following its 61-52 whipping of previously undefeated Jeffersonville. The latter dropped from second to seventh and Attucks skidded from fourth to 10th, thanks to its 45-38 licking by cityfoe Shortridge. Kokomo. Lafayette and Muncie Central along with the South Benciejs retained- last Week's rankings. East Chicago Washington, a good bet to grab West NIHSC honors, made overtures for a “select circle” berth by climbing from a tie for 13th place to 11th. In fact, they missed tying for 10th place by a single vote.

Tommy O’Connell Quits Pro Football CHICAGO (IF — Tommy O'Con*neli, the Cleveland Brown signal caller who led his team to 1957 Eastern Division honors in the National Football League, gave up play-for-pay football Tuesday to take a coaching job at his alma mater, the University of Illinois. O’Connell, who owns every’ passmgrocordin the IHinrT>cxjk.,j~connected on 57 per cent of his tries for the Browns last season, gaining- 1,229 yards, for an 11.17 aver-_ age per try and nine touchdowns. “I thought it was time to step out,” he Said. “It's good to quit on a good year.” O'Connell said he probably would have stayed in the pro ranks -longer if “such a good offer hadn't come up.” O'Connell will replace backfield coach Chuck Purvis, who left the Illinois team to become an assistant coach at BayldY, Another 11lini mentor, Bob King, left the school to become head coach at Furman.

Eastern Pro Stars Beat West, 130-118 ST. LOUIS (UPi— Bob Pettit won the most, valuable player trophy, but the Bob Cousy-sparked ■ East All-Stars proved once again! that it takes a team effort even ’ to win an all-star gamePettit’s superb 28-point, 26-re-bound performance was not to prevent the East from achieving a come-from-behind 130118 victory over the West Tuesday night in the National Basketiball Assn, All-Star game. The St. Louis star's scoring and rebounding totals both were reclords for the NBA classic, as was j the 248-point total produced by i both teams. ’ j But in the end it was \Jie East’s superior balance and the “clutch’’ second-half shooting of Cousy that -enabled the East to score its sixth triumph in the eight games that have been played. . “They won the trophy but we won the ball game,” Cousy grinned in the dressing room after it was all over. “The thing which .impressed me fnost,” chimed in Red Auerbach of the Boston Celtics, who coached his second straight victory in the All-Star Series, “was that none of our guys got> 'hungry' out there. I mean nobody tried to hog the shooting. They looked for the open man and gave him the ball." The Ea,st stars w’on despite a sub-standard performance by Bill Russell the Celtics, who was hampered by an ankle injury. Russell did not score a field goal until the fourth minute of the sec- , ond halfv nwde-only-Tl-points -in ♦ll and had little success in his efforts to stop the jump-shooting Pettit. The six-foot-10 Celtics center picked up five fouls midway through the third period and missed the greater part of the second half Cub Packs To Meet Thursday Evening Dave Smith, Cubmaster of Cub pack 3061, announced today that there will be a meeting of that pack, at 7 p.m. Thursday, at the Lincoln school auditorium.

Raising Debt Limit Not Economy Issue Immediate Action WASHINGTON (IP) — Despite a last-gap delay by the economy bloc, House Democrats and Republicans appeared in harmony today on raising the national debt ceiling five billion dollars to 280 billion Rep. Thomas B. Curtis (R-Mo.) said raising the debt limit was not an ■ economy issue. “You can't stop an elevator by grabbing hold of the elevator floor indicator.'’ he said. With the hike bill heading toward overwhelming House passage, Rep. John W. Byrnes (RWis.) prevented immediate action ; Tuesday proposing that the contemplated temporary boost -be limited to three billion dollars. Byrnes’ amendment faced certain defeat, partly because of Bouse fears it might hamstring the defense effort. But its supporters served notice that they intend to demand a roll call vote on his proposal anyway. Their demand forced House leaders to forego further action on ; the measure until Friday. House leaders had agreed there would ■be no roll call votes until then because so. many members were j out of town. ■ I .....

Roberts Signs New Contract For Pay Cut By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer • Robin Roberts took a $7,500 cut today without an argument or an alibi but with a definite understanding he cap get that money back if he has a good year. It was the second straight year the Phillies nicked into a salary that once reached $50,000 and the 30-year-old righthander readily said “we didn't argue this time” in the face of his 10-22 record last season, which was his worst ever. Roberts, who drew about $45,000 last year, was cut approximately 16 per cent to the vicinity of $37,500. The Phillies were allowed to slash Roberts 25 per cent under the rules but club president Robert M. Carpenter said “that's not club policy." Carpenter added he would be delighted to restore? the cut if the hard-working Roberts has “a good year.'' Yanks Sign Kubek Elsewhere around the baseball map, some of the boys were doing a little better in the pen-and-ink league. Tony Kubek. the American League’s "rookie of the year” in 1957, signed his contract and returned it to the Yankees after they raised his salary. Kubek batted .297 last season while playing left field, center field, shortstop, second and third: base. He said it was immaterial to him where Casey Stengel decides to play him this year. Right-hander . Bob. Rush. obtained by the Braves from the Cubs in a trade early last month, returned his signed contract to Milwaukee with a notesaying,"! Milwaukee with a note saying, "I feel I can be an asset, to your team ” Rush, who sent in his contract from his home in Mesa, Ariz., won six games and lost 16 last season for Chicago. Bruton to See Action The Braves also announced that outfielder Bill Bruton will report to spring training with the rest of the team at Bradenton, Fla. Bruton suffered a serious knee injury and j was, out of action the las’, part of the season but a bone specialist said the knee was" “pro gressing" and the outfielder could undergo limited activity during the spring. The Cincinnati Redlegs, making a bid to be the first club with all -ts players signed, reveried-they already have 20 men under contract. Latest to sign were first baseman Dee Fondy and Steve Bilko who will compete with George Crowe for the first string job. Pitchers Bill Fischer and Dixie Howell and outfielders Jim Rivera and Tito Francona all signed with the White Sox, making a total of 13 players who have agreed to terms. Two other members of the White Sox, pitcher Billy Pierce and second baseman Nellie Fox, failed to sign their contracts but Vice-president Chuck Comiskey said both ’ were “very close’’ to reaching agreement with him.

Oklahoma Cily To Lose League Team OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (UP) —E. J. (Jimmy) Humphries, owner of the Oklahoma City Indians, said today he will “definitely” move the Texas League team to another city following the announcement of a group that it had abandoned its efforts to buy the team. At the same time, League President Dick Butler gave the Dallas Community Baseball Assn- a 72hour . extension to raise $40,000 to buy the Dallas Eagles' franchise and provide a playing site. The deadline was Tuesday, but Butler extended it until Friday afternoon. Butler announced the extension after Barton R. McLendon, association president, . and George Schepps, who holds the option for the franchise, said they had an appointment today with Mrs. Dale Burnett to discuss rental of Burnett Stadium. Municipal Judge James Demopalos, who directed a fund drive to save the failing Oklahoma City team, met with directors of tne organization and notified them that a $75,000 price-tag placed on the Indians by Humphries had not been reached by Tuesday’s deadline. .——-r-- - “My intentions are to move the ball club,” Humphries said following the announcement.
