Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams FRIDAY Columbia City at Yellow Jackets. Commodores at Pleasant Mills. Berne at Geneva. Adams Central at Ossian. Monmouth at Bryant. Eddie Perkins Wins Over Baby Vasquez WASHINGTON (UPD - Young Eddie Perkins of Chicago, who stopped Mexican Baby Vasquez in the seventh round, said today he craved a shot at the light-weight crown next year. "I know exactly how to fight champion Joe Brown,” explained the speedy, 21-year-old Negro who gashed Vasquez’ left brow so *bloodily Wednesday night that their scheduled 10-round TV fight at the New Capitol Arena was stopped at 2:40 of the seventh. Referee Ray Bowen awarded Perkins a technical knockout when Dr. John Knipp advised that it would be dangerous for Vasquez to continue. “Yes, I know how to fight the champion,” Perkins continued, "and the others don't know. Besides, I’ve got the speed to beat him.” Perkins, who weighed 133% pounds to Vasquez' 133%, is unranked among contenders because Wednesday night’s bout before an estimated 9,500 fans was only his 17th professional start. But it was his fourth straight victory, and his second over a “name” fighter. In his first TV bout, Nov. 12. Eddie won easily over veteran Frankie Ryff. Paul Platz Named San Diego Coach SAN DIEGO, Calif.

70,000 Fans ' To View Pro Battle Sunday ■NEW YORK (UPD -* The ’tfld shying that the "rich get richer’’ also holds true for the National Football League. ' i The Cleveland Browns and New York, • (Slants, the “morteybags" Clubs of the • Eastern Division, will divide another bundle of greenbacks , Sunday when they playoff for the division title at Yankee Stadium. The crowd of about 70,000, plus , television and radio fees will asi sure a bonanza of about a quarter of a million dollars for the owners and players. ' In a division playoff game, the two clubs split the net receipts ' pnd each player gets an additional one-twelfth of his salary (the , teams play 12 regular, season games), ; This will average about SI,OOO per playpr. The qim/terbadjss and other stars such as fullback Jim Brown of Cleveland will get more, of course, following the same “rieh get. richer” pattern. Most , of the guards and tackles', Who , decide the game with their play in the line, probably will get less than SI,OOO apiece. But none of the players will heed pep-talks before Sunday’s ’ game. The winners will move into the league championship game opposing the Baltimore Colts Dec. 28. ’ That’s the game in which the , players slice up the net receipts. ! With the title game to be . played in Yankee Stadium or ; Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, the gross receipts easily could top i the record, $593,967.50 set by the . Browns and Lions at Detroit last year. That means the individual win.jiers in the championship game *: may collect about $5,000 and the losers about $3,000. Those fat title game cuts will inspire the players Sunday. Six Players Signed By Cleveland Indians l CLEVELAND. Ohio (UPD —Six players, including peppery' Billy Martin — the Tribe’s ' solution to its second-base problem, returned signed contracts today to the Cleveland Indians. ..... ~ Two other infielders, Billy Moran and Randy Jackson, also cpme to terms. The others were rookie pitcher Jake Striker, a southpaw from Bucyrus, Ohio, who won 17 while losing 11 for Mobile last season, veteran hurler Morrie Martin, who posted a 2-0 record while appearing in 14 relief stints as a Redskin, and youthful outfielder Carroll Hardy. Gary Boy Is Killed i In Fire Wednesday . - GARY, Ind.. (UPD Chesley Gilliam. Jr., 8, was killed Wednesday night when fire destroyed a two-story apartment building.

Star Os Royals May Undergo OperationJ CINCINNATI. Ohio <UPl>—Doctors continued tests today to determine whether to perform a brain-clot operation on Sihugo (Si) Green/? Cincinnati Royals guard. V Green, a top basketball stat at Duquesne University before turning professional! has been hospitalized since he collapsed during a Dec. 9 practice session. Doctors at, Christ Hospital here said if the tests showed the presence of a brain clot, an operation would probably be performed at once. Grpen collapsed earlier during an exhibition game at Lewiston, Maine. ’His Wwiditfon at the time was diagnosed as virus infection. He had been given a clean bill of health following another col-lapse,-Nov. 21 in a game at Philadelphia* when the elbow of Tom Gola of the Warriors accidentally struck him. , ■ Dr. Frank -Mayfield, neuro-sur-geon’ and head of a y team of doctors conducting the current test, said a blood clot could have resulted from a blow on the head. Green is the second Royals star to be hospitalized in less than a year. Maurice Stokes, high-scor-ing pivot man from Pittsburgh, has been in a semi - coma for nine months with a disease akin to sleeping sickness. Green wore Stokes' jersey, No. 12, when he joined the team this year. He wore it until the Philadelphia injury when he asked to “get rid of that jinxed number.” He switched to 14.
