The lone setback came at the hands of Hartford City by an 82 to 67 count.

Brennan Firing One Os States Top Features By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Several explosive developments rocked the Indiana sports picture during 1958 —like the firing of Notre Dame’s , Terry Brennan and the catastro- , phic Indianapolis “500” crash— , and the most encouraging develop- , ment was “revival” of football at Indiana. Critics spared no adjectives when i Brennan got the gate as Notre Dame’s football coach a few says before Christmas—presumable be- ’ cause he failed to come through ‘ with 80 per cent winning year , after year at the grid-conscious j South Bend institution. “Coach of the Year" at the age ' of 27 and booted three years later when influential alumni poured on . the pressure following a 6-4 record—the Irish missed the “desired" 8-2 mark by a total of 10 points —Brennan was ousted by what ( was interpreted in some quarters as a return to gridiron emphasis ' at Notre Dame. 11 The school reached into the pro ranks for Joe Kuharich a na- , tive of South Bend, as Brennan’s i successor. 15-Car Pileup 1 Automobile racing also took its i lumps. It started early, with the ; first major event of the season, i the Indianapolis “500.” A disas- 1 trous 15-car pile-up in the third ; corner of the very first lap killed popular Pat O’Connor, a former ; pole sitter and Hposier. Most i other pilots involved in the Speed- ' way’s worst wreck escaped in- i jury miraculously. Two other “500” drivers rode ; to their death —Jimmy Reece at ■ Trenton, N. J., and Art Bisch near ; Atlanta. Jimmy Davis of Indianapolis was killed at Lima,, Ohio; Paul Howe of Danville at South Bend, and Harry Adams of Lafayette at Rensselaer. Jimmy Bryan finally won the ’ Indianapolis “500,” then went into ■ semi-retirement. Tony Bettenhausen, a twice-retired driver, won the big-car championship for the sec- 1 ond time, although he failed to win a single major event. And balding Jim Rathmann made it two in a row for the Yanks in . the “500 Miles of Monza.” McKinney Was Tops Indiana’s football fortunes rose , substantially when the Hoosiers moved from a 1-8 record in 1957 to 5-3-1 and finished with a 1 “moal victory” by holding power- , ful Purde to a 15-15 deadlock in . the "Old Oaken Bucket” brawl. Hoosierland had few individual j .standouts on a national scale but ‘ among the bright lights were Indianapolis schoolteacher Bob Ludlow, who made it to the finals of the National Publinx Golf , championship. and swimmers ] Frank McKinney and Mike Troy, ] also of Indianapolis. < McKinney retained his national ; 100 and 200-meter backstroke titles j and the unheralded Troy became ■ 100-meter butterfly champ as the , Indianapolis Athletic Club kept , its team title. , On the high school scene. Fort , Wayne South and its seven-foot center, Mike McCoy, triumphed in the four-week basketball tourn- 1 ey, spacing its two state titles exactly 20 years apart. South Bend Central captured the United Press International mythical football championship, but seven other clubs also finished perfect—lndianapolis Manual, Evansville Memorial, Logansport, Richmond, Brazil, Portland and Culver Military. Julie Wins at 18 South Bend Central also won the state prep track carnival, Muncie Central triumphed in cross-coun-try, Indianaplis Ripple and Richmond shared the wrestling crown, South Bend Riley was first in swimming and Kokomo and Madison Heights led the way in golf. Indiana’s Hoosiers won the Big Ten basketball crown in the final game of the season at Michigan State, but went into 1959 a big questionmark—with a 3-4 tuneup record. In golf circles, Pete Dye of Indianapolis, runner-up twice, finally won the State Amateur. Youthful Julie Hull of Anderson grabbed the State Women’s crown, Roy Royer of Crawfordsville the State Junior. The Indiana Open title went to Carmel’s Bill Heinlein for the fourth time, and Jim Guinnup of Lafayette captured the Indiana PGA. In baseball, the Indianapolis Indians finished in the red for the third straight year, drawing only 155,000 cash customers, but expansion of the American Association to a 10-club circuit was expected to give the Triple-A a shot in the arm in 1959. Armstead, Mathews Signed For TV Bout HOLLYWOOD, Calif.

I Today's Sport Parade .. • ni.l, (Reg. U.S. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD—lt’s another year for the memory books today in a chapter packed with muscles, sweat and torn up tote tickets, j Ron Delany started it running for this corner just one calendar ago as he ground the opposition into the Madison Square Garden boards and everything has been going in circles ever since. There were those winter fight nights at the Garden and some valid aquatics while in Florida to see Tim Tam bolt down the stretch and cop the Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park. Cock fights in Haiti, golf in Jamaica and swimming in the Bahamas. The way you missed the Giants and the Dodgers, wandering around parks filled only with frigeons as they opened the baseball season on the coast. Enjoying the hoop-la as the Yankees started another winning drive at the Stadium and rooting for some longforgotten outsider as Jewel’s Reward galloped off with the Wood Memorial. Wilt Turns Pro Staring up at Wilt (The Stilt) Chamberlain’s amazing altitude as he announced he was turning pro and sweltering in the heat at Tulsa as Tommy Bolt won the U.S. Open. Telling everybody they ought to give him a break, and then watching him break up at Pine Hollow. Glad that the PGA let him off the hook, even so. and cheering on Dow Finsterwald as he turned birdie gambler and caught Sam Snead on the test round of the PGA championship at Llanerch. The All-Star Game in Baltimore as Billy O’Dell halted the National League. A stretch on Lake Ontario, golfing, fishing and cutting up touches with fight promoter Norm Rothschild, Bill Rapp and Ben Schwartzwalder, who said his Syracuse team wasn’t much but leads it into the Orange Bowl Thursday. Taking lumps- from Jay Hebert and Mike Turnesa, even though they were using old wooden shafts and stunned even more by the way Roy Campanella looked in his first hospital interview. Marveling at Ashley Cooper’s icy exterior as he won the national tennis title at Forest Hills. Lonesome End Surprise Then the Series and Bob Turley's walloping. Back to New York, with the perennial poker game on the plane, and Turley’s amazing comeback. Back to Milwaukee for one of the best windups in Series history—and never getting even on the plane. The surprise over Red Blaik’s lonesome end offense during those football weekends at West Point, and learning the finer points of bowling from lady champ Sylvia Wene (and forgetting them almost as quickly). The flight to Mexico for the International golf championship Breakfast with an easier-going Ben Hogan. Lunch with a jittery’ Sam Snead. The bull fights at the Plaza del Toros and how the Mexican golf gallery carries its “oles" back to the' golf tournament. Driving through the Mexican mountains and the boy divers doing their dizzy plunge from the cliffs at Acapulco. Another chapter. May the next be as pleasant.

Cincinnati Is Still Rated 1 V - College Tops NEW YORK (UPD—Cincinnati retained first place In the United Press International college bas* ketball ratings while relaxing dur* ing the Christmas holiday, but ' this week Oscar Robertson and , Co. get a stiff test to determine their right to the No. 1 spot. Coach George Smith’s Bearcats, who led Kentucky by only 19 points in this week’s rankings by the UPI Bohrd of Coaches, are engrossed in the Dixie Classic, rated the toughest of the holiday tournament. Cincinnati beat Wake Forest, 94-70, in its first Dixie Classic game Monday afternoon, but conceivably could meet two teams in this week’s top 10 before the tournament is over. Holiday idleness “froze” the alignment of the top six teams, with Kansas State, Michigan State, North Carolina and North Carolina State holding the ratings from third place through sixth in that order. Bradley moved up to the top 10 group for the first time this season (in eighth place) and Texas Christian returned after an ab- ; sence of one week (in ninth place). Northwestern, ranked seventh, and Auburn, ranked 10th, I completed the top 10. The coaches based their ratings on games played through Saturi day night, Dec. 27. Michigan State, North Carolina and North Carolina State, ranked 4-MJ in that order, all started play in toe Dixie Classic this ! week. It was inevitable that some ' of these powers would clash with I one another or with Cincinnati bei fore toe week is over. t Purdue headed toe second 10 1 group, followed in order by St. John’s (N.Y.), St. Joseph’s tPa.), t West Virginia.
