Cincinnati Is Winner Over Bradley Five By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer High-scoring Oscar Robertson and his Cincinnati teammates Jiad a l o .*/* 4 " on an NCAA tournament berth today while Bradley’s beaten Braves eyed a National Invitation Tournament bid as a consolation prize. With Robertson scoring 40 points, Cincinnati virtually nailed down the Missouri Valley Conference title and the NCAA bid that goes with it Wednesday night via a "revenge” 94-77 victory ove» Bradley. Bradley beat Cincinnati, 79-73 on Dec. 30 and kept it close Wednesday until the Bearcats went off on a 20-point second-half spurt that opened their lead to 82-61. Connie Dierking, 6-94 center who missed Cincinnati’s Dec. 30 game with Bradley, shared honors with Robertson Wednesday by tallying 12 points and proving a key man off both backboards A capacity crowd of 7.291 saw the game at the Cincinnati Field House and another 1.200 watched on a closed circuit TV showing on the campus. . Robertson Breaks Loose Robertson was held to nine points in the first half but then broke loose with 31 in the second, and his game total was the rrujA ever tallied against a Bradley team. The 40 points raised Oscar's season total to 633 in 19 games for a 33.32 average compared to .Elgin Baylor’s 33.72 average and Wilt Chamberlain’s 31.07 mark. The loss was the second in the conference and the fifth overall of the season for Bradley, which expected to be invited to New York to defend its National Invitation Tournament title West Virginia, the nation's sec-ond-ranked team, clinched first place in the Southern Conference when it clobbered Virginia Military Institute. 104-58.

The 6-4 ace, the Bears' No. 1 . player will miss at least the sectionals because of an injured knee. Principal R. T. Farrell tele- ’ phoned IHSAA Commissioner L.V. Phillips to withdraw Coalmon from the 10-player team shortly before the 4 p.m. <CST> entry deadline Wednesday. Central coach Elmer McCall said previously the injury sustained byCoalmon at Lafayette Dec. 21 had forced him to remove his star from the starting line-up. Coalmon injured the knee for ( the third time against Mishawaka last Friday night and was , benched. Central ranks third in this week’s United Press coaches' poll , with a 15-3 record. , Pre-tourney speculators rated McCall’s club among the top coni' tenders for the state crown. But Coalmen’s withdrawal changed the situation ' "I figure he's good for 25 points a game," said McCall. ; Sylvester and his brother.

White Sox And Indians Differ Over Contracts By UNITED PRESS The Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians have adopted decidedly different methods in dealing with potential holdouts. The White Sox seem to be meeting all the demands of their players by doling out record salaries, but the Indians have instituted a "get tough" policy with six of their "stragglers.” All-Star second baseman Nellie Fox, no-hit pitcher Bob Keegan and veteran southpaw Billy Pierce accepted their 1958 contracts with the White Sox Wednesday. Fox became the highest paid player in the history of the club when he signed for “over $40,000.” Pierce, the Sox' top-salaried pitcher in history last year <at about $35,000*, also was given a slight pay boost while Keegan, who pitched the only mPhit game in the majors last season, received “a substantial increase." Lane Issues Warning However, all was not so serene in the Cleveland tepee, where General Manager Frank Lane warned six Indians they may lose much wampum if they don’t sign by March 1. Lane said that SIOO will be deducted from the contract, offered to each holdout for every day he fails to report at the Indians' training camp at Tucson, Ariz Veteran outfielder Gene Woodling, one of the six unsigned Cleveland players, answered Lane’s threat with a threat of his own. "I won't hold still for anything like this,” he declraed. "It just means that my price will go up SIOO every day after March 1. We have a baseball commissioner and I think he ought to step into a situation like this.” Larsen Signs The New York Yankees, who have family troubles, too, took one giant—step..Aowards lining up their biggest "names” when they corralled Don Larsen for a rei ported $17,000. Shortstop Daryl Spencer, pitcher Pete Burnside and rookie outfielder Willie Kirkland accepted their 1958 contracts with the San ’ Francisco Giants, leaving only > four teammates unsigned. i Other signees: Leo Kiely and Robert W.
