Monmouth Spoils Home Opener For Commodores With 63 To 51 Victory

Monmouth’s Eagles scored their first victory of the season after two defeats, and the Decatur Commodores sustained their second loss in as many starts Thursday night, as the Eagles whipped the Commodores, 63-51, in the latters' home opener at the Decatur gym. The Eagles jumped off to an early lead and after a fairly close first quarter, it wasn’t much of a contest, as Monmouth built up comfortable margins around the 20-point bulge throughout most of the second half. Marlin Blakey opened the scor-' ing for the Eagles after 25 seconds of play, matched 30 seconds later by Don Baker’s first of 11 field goals for a 2-2 tie. Dwight Schaefer broke the tie and the Eagles were never headed. Monmouth held a-15-11 advantage at the end of the first quarter, increased it to 10 points midway through the second period. and then piled up points in a hurry to leave the floor at half-time with a comfortable 3719 bulge. With Baker hitting four fielders in the third quarter, the Commodores cut their deficit to 13 points at 46-33, but the Eagles stepped up their scoring and built their lead up to 20 points, 53-33. as the teams entered the final eight minutes of play. The closest the Decatur lads came in the last quarter was 10 points at 61-51 with a minute to go, but Ron Hoffman closed out the scoring with a pair of»free throws for the final 12-point margin. Baker was the game’s top scorer with 28 points on 11 field goals and six free throws but the only other Commodore in double figures was Paul Gross with 11. The Eagles had well balanced scoring, Schaefer and Blakey

‘ *! Oosterbaan Quits As Michigan Coach ANN ARBOR, Mich. (UPD — Bennie Oosterbaan resigned today as football coach at the University of Michigan, effective at the end of the year, and Chalmers (Bump) Elliott was named to replace him. Oosterbean, a three-time AllAmerican end at Michigan more than three decades ago, will remain at the university as assistant to athletic director H. O. tFritz) Crisler. Elliott, J}3, halfback on Michigan’s 1947 team that marched to Big Ten and Rose Bowl titles, joined the Wolverine staff as backfield coach this year and rumors began circulating immediately that he was hand-pick-ed as Oosterbaan's successor. Despite the rumors, Oosterbaan waited until this morning to disclose that he was resigning., Oosterbaan, 56. a native of Muskegon, Mich., . and a nineletter winner at Michigan from 1925 through 1927, made public his resignation an hour before the university regents held their monthly meeting. It cleared the way for the appointment of Elliott to the $16,000 a year job. Oosterbaan said: ‘As is generally known, I have for the past three or four years been seriously considering retiring from the head coaching position at the University of Michigan. “Last spring at my request this Intention was made known to the athletic board which subsequently offered me a fine opportunity to serve the university in another capacity.” Oosterbaan said he decided at that time the 1958 season would be his last in the head coaching position. “I so informed Mr. (H. 0. Crisler at that time,” he said. But Oosterbaan said he decided to withhold the announcement until the season was over. “In view of the recurring rumors, however, I am making the statement now,” Oosterbaan said. “I am very happy to have further opportunity to serve the university and I shall continue to do, my very best.” It was ‘ not disclosed in what capacity Oosterbaan will remain with the university.

Y, DECATUR, INDIANA

Three Hammond Players Named On All-Sfafe INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - Hammond’s Wildcats and classy Indianapolis Manual today dominated the 1958 United Press International Indiana high school football "All State”. Hammond’s West NIHSC titlists, beaten out of a play-off spot against eventual mythical state champion South Bend Central by a, coin flip last week, qualified three players for the “dream team.” Manual, racking up its first perfect season, got two spots on the first team selected for UPI by the state’s sportswriters and broadcasters. Seven other schools were represented on the first ■unit—again a 12-man powerhouse by virtue of an abundance of rich backfield material. There were three repeaters from last year—-tackle Larry Coleman of Evansville Reitz, center John Misiora of East Chicago Roosevelt and back Gene Phillips of South Bend Adams. All-Senior Outfit But none can repeat next time, for this is an all-senior crew, ready to battle for additional honors on the nation’s college gridirons. From Hammond came end Bob Selva, guard Dob Schwingendorf and back Ted Kaegbein. Manual’s contributions were Steve Wright in the backfield, who fired 21 touchdown passes during the season, and tackle John Stafford. The line also included end Tom Hutchinson of New Albany and Logansport guard Jerry Pfaff. The backfield was rounded out by John Titzer of Evansville Memorial and Commie Walls of South Bend’s state champs. Chances are, you won’t find much difference between this starstudded unit'and the next two. As usual, it was a toss-up in most cases for spots on the first three outfits, and . many topnotch boys who rate substantially higher had to settle for “honorable mention.” UPI salutes them all, for they truly were the “cream of the crop” during a memorable season.

Proposes 3rd Major League Be Organized NEW YORK (UPD — Rep. Emanuel Celler iD-N. Y.) warned organized baseball today to accept a proposed third major league as “free and equal” but baseball men stressed “orderly expansion” as opposed to the formation of an outlaw circuit. “Organized baseball must accept any new league or be branded a monopoly under federal anti-trust laws,” said Celler after a New York City baseball committee announced plans to form a third major league ‘inside or outside' the current structure of organized baseball. “I applaud such action although I expect teams like the New York Yankees will attempt to veto the plan.” Baseball officials, from Commissioner Ford Frick to executives of teams mentioned in the possible new league, however, sought to head off a “war” such as rocked baseball when the Federal League was formed in 1914 and plagued pro football when the All America Conference was created in opposition to the National Football League in 1946. .Frick Favors Franchise “I have long been in favor of New York City obtaining another major league franchise but am not prepared to comment on the possible raiding of exfteting teams’ players,” said Frick. "I can’t conceive of players joining a third league considering their current pension and other advantages. And I can assure you, baseball is not going to be sledge-hammered into anything.” National League President Warren Giles said he hoped New York would obtain a new franchise but “it will not be accomplished by threats” and Branch Rickey, reported in some quarters to be behind the new league, stressed that expansion “should be accomplished with the help

and supervision ot the National and American leagues.” Other sentiment, including opinions expressed by executives in Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth Seattle, Portland, Miami, San Francisco, Los Detroit and Milwaukee, was also cautious, Most agreed that any “war” would prove detrimental to all organized baseball an d ! should be avoided at all costs. Other Cities Interested TTie sensatidnal proposal to form a third major league—inside ' or outside the current structure of organized baseball—was made Thursday by William Sheae chairman of the New York City Mayors’ Baseball Committee which has been working to obtain a franchise since the Giants and Dodgers left town. Shea said Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Atlanta. Denver, Toronto. Miami, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Detr o i t and several West Coast cities were interested in a third league "provided New York is the leading member.” “If we can proceed undei- the umbrella of currently organized major league baseball, that would be fine,” Shea said. “If not, we are willing to go ahead on our own.” Shea said he had been advised by an unidentified National League official that such an independent new major league is possible—perhaps as early as 1960. Some sources reported the N.L. “mystery man” is Lou Perini of the Braves and others said it was Rickey, 76-year old ex-presi-dent of the Pittsburgh Pirates who recently suggested an alignment similar to Shea’s idea. Shea denide his plan was a “sledge hammer” against baseball but made it clear he expcctt ed the protection of the nation’s lawmakers in Washington, D. C., if the new league actually is put into operation. No Threat, But... “Major league baseball currently is seeking favorable legislation in Washington,” Shea said. “But we feel the National League is not giving New York a’fair shake and we don't think baseball is entitled to any favorable legislation until New York and other cities wishing major league status are taken care of.” William Peer, executive secretary to Mayor Robert Wagner, said Wagner “fully supported” the plan and added, “the Yankees are willing to cooperate—at least they will not act to keep a new team out.” Shea denied his plan was a New York would be offered a new stadium with a 50,000 seating capacity in Flushing Meadow, Long Island. He said the. creation ■of-new franchises would cost far less than attempting to purchase existing franchises at prices ranging between $2.5-mfllioih ,f lbna Simillion. The Federal League, backed by a half dozen wealthy men, was formed in 1914 and raided National and American League teams until it folded in 1915. In 1946, an "o ull aw” Mexican League, headed by Jorge Pasquel, also raided major league teams but collapsed in a few years. The war between the All America
