Illinois entertains Michigan State in an afternoon tilt, and Northwestern is at home to Indiana. In other games. Wisconsin is at Purdue and Michigan plays host to Ohio State in the weekly televised feature. Willie Jones, a comparatively short Moot, 3-inch forward, amply filled the vacancy in a line-up switch caused by Warren’s absence. Jones bagged 26 points, including nine in a row, to pace the Wildcats in winning. mini shooters coasted in the first half against the weakßadgers to earn only a 30-23 lead, but they poured it on later when Govonei Vaughn and Johnny Wessels found 1 the rang/ Vaughn tallied 16 points in the second half and Wessels 11. Indiana’s pace-setter was Frank Radovich, a 6-foot, 1-inch forward, Radovich netted 27 points for the agme and was the sparkplug of two spurts to wipe out i brief Boilermaker. leads —— Jumping Johnny Green was the big problem for the Hawkeyes, and they put their zone defense to work on the Michigan State center. As a resulk Green was held to only 18 points, while the Hawks’ John Gunther and Clarence Wordlaw got hot, each connecting for 23 points. College Basketball Indiana 77, Purdue 69.

Ewbank won the honor the way his Colts captured the 1958 Western Division title—easily. He received 22 of the 29 votes cast by sports writers who covered the 1958 campaign in the 11 league cities. Buddy Parker, whose Pittsburgh Steelers were unbeaten in their last seven was a distant second in the voting with four votes. Only two other coaches were mentioned on the ballots. Jim Lee Howell, whose New York Giants defeated the Cleveland Browns in a playoff for the Eastern Division crown, received two votes. Paul Brown ot the Browns received the other vote.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR. INDIANA

When Ewbank left Cleveland's staff to become head coach of the Colts in 1954, he planned to produce a champion in five years. He hit it right on the button but his Colts needed the first “sudden death” overtime in NFL history to score a 23-17 victory over the Giants in the champfomhip game Dec. 28. Mike McCoy Denies Offer From Miami ■ I CORAL GABLES, Fla. (UPI) - Seven-foot Mike McCoy denies that the University of Miami lured him away from a scholarship at Northwestern. McCoy, who sparked Fort Wayne South to the Indiana high school basketball tourney title last March, was considered the prize catch among Hoosier prep players last year. He touched off . a furor over the weekend when he announced he was quitting the Big Ten school. Stu Holcomb, Northwestenfs aftletic director, charged that Miami "stole” McCoy after he enrolled at Evanston, 111. • I But McCoy said he left Nortnthere . . . 1 Just didn t like the atmosphere;” He said he came to Miami with hopes of enrolling because a number of his friends from Fort Wayne are at the Florida school and because “I think I'll like it here,” Miami varsity basketball players Dave Hickox. Bruce Applegate and Dick Berghoff and transfer Chris Stavreti are from Fort Wayne. McCoy said he talked with Stavreti during the Christmas holidays and “he said he liked it a whole lot down here, so I decided to drive down with him and look the school over." “Besides," said McCoy, “they play up the Miami games pretty good in Fort Wayne papers and everybody thinks a lot of coach Bruce Hale. Be played pro ball up there." McCoy said he planned to go to the admissions office today or Wednesday to arrange to- transfer his credits. Meantime, he said he would seek 3 job until the sprite semester opens Feb. 2. However, Jack Harding, Miami athletic director, said he did not know if the school would givd McCoy a scholarship? ’ "We’ll wait until'the NCAA convention this week before offering the boy a scholarship,” said Harding. “We want to talk to Stu Holcomb and clear up any misunderstanding." ~ Miami officials have denied that they lured McCoy down here. ■ u
