IHSAA Plans To Fight Court Order On Pair INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Attorneys for the IHSAA Board of Control will go to Jackson Circuit Court Feb. 11 to block a motion to have a restraining order filed by two suspended Negro athletes made permanent. 1 Commissioner L.V. Phillips said the IHSAA will exert every effort to void a temporary restraining order issued earlier this week in the contested transfer case of two highly regarded basketball players, Billy Joe and Frank Stevenson. The boys enrolled at Seymour High School last September. The IHSAA prohibited the youths from ever playing at Seymour on the grounds that '“undue influence” was provided to entice the athletes to move to Seymour from Joppa, Hl. Seymour was placed on probation for a year. The IHSAA was served Thursday- with the restraining order issued by Jackson Circuit Judge John M. Lewis. Phillips said all five members of the board attended the special session Thursday and selected Bell and Bell as legal counsel. The law firm has represented the IHSAA before, Phillips added. The court order prevents the IHSAA from enforcing any rules against the Stevenson boys or Seymour, and therefore allows the two tall basketball players to participate in Varsity games. But their position remained in doubt Phillips said Robert Bulleitt, Seymour's school superintendent, had indicated the boys would not be used unless it was necessary. ‘ What that means, I don't know,” Phillips said. Phillips commented on the possible repurcussions of the case. “We’ve never had a case like this in the history of the IHSAA,” said Phillips. "If Other judges feel that way, any boy suspended could go to court and obtain an injunction.’’- — — -_l.. Officials of schools scheduled to meet Seymour on the. basketball court asked Phillips what they should do if the Stevenson boys, are sent into action. ’’ ' Phillips said he told them it was a “lo’eal problem.” — 5 ' • Masters- Golf Meet - -■1 Will Be Televised NEW YORK (UPD—The Masters golf tournament will be telecast from the Augusta, Ga., Country Club by the Columbia Broadcasting System on Saturday and Sunday,-April 4-5.

Only Five Os Cub Players Unsigned United Press International Hie Chicago Cubs look like a good bet to finish second behind the Cleveland Indians in baseball’s annual pen-and-ink derby Frank Lane, the Indians' hustling general manager, broke his own record for contract signing earlier this week when he announced all members of the. Cleveland club had signed new pacts. The Cubs, meanwhile, were left with only five' unsigned players when outfielder Chuck Tanner accepted his new contract. Tanner batted .262 last year. Pitchers Dave Hillman, G)en Hobbie and Marcelion Solis, utility man Earl Averill Jr. and catcher Gordon Miassa are the five Cub players still unsigned. Hobbie and Massa are in the service but are expected to come to terms when they are releasd. The Chicago White Sox also are making good progress in lining up their players. Veteran outfielder Don Mueller became the 19th member of the club to sign Thursday. Mueller, obtained from the San Francisco .Giants last year, batted ?53 in 70 games with the White Sox. The Kansas City Athletics signed two young pitchers, Howard Reed and Dave Hill, while the Philadelphia Phillies announced the signing of infielder Ted Kazanski, who batted .228 in 94 games last season. The San Francisco Giants bagged their 20th and 21st players—Whitey Lockman and Bob Speake. Lockman, oldest Giant in point of service, batted .238 in 92 games last season. Speake, used mostly as a pinch hitter, hit .211

Wildcats Win 600th Victory For Coach Rupp United Preaa International Old Adolph Rupp way a cinch to do it. The coaches of other sports at the University of Kentucky were so sure of it they went out and had a silver pitcher engraved in advance so they could present it to him as soon as the game was over. The inscription read: “To Coach Adolph Rupp, oh the occasion of his 600th victory, Jan. 29, 1959.” Rupp, who was given the pitcher and other gifts in ceremonies immediately following the 108-55 triumph of his nationally topranked Wildcats over Georgia Thursday night, realized at once that the engraving must have been done some time ago. “You fellas,” said the man in the brown suit with a familiar gleam In MS eye, “sure were optimistic.” Thursday night’s win, art easy romp in which Kentucky held a 61-25 halftime lead, gave Kentucky a 16-1 record for the season. And it also gave Bupp a measure of long-delayed revenge, for way back when he started as coach at Kentucky in 1930 it was a Georgia team that dealt him his first defeat. Rupp, who now has an overall record of 60 wins and 104 losses, thus joins only three active coaches in the 600-plus category—Ed Diddle of Western Kentucky, Hank Iba of Oklahoma State, and Ed Adams of Texas Southern. Forrest (Phog) Allen, retired Kansas coach who once tutored Rupp, holds the record with 729 wins and 209 losses. The Wildcats out - rebounded Georgia, 81-41, and outshot the Bulldogs, 37.6 per cent to 27.3. Leading the way was Bobby Slusher with 17 points. In the only other game Thursday night featuring high-ranked teams, llth-ranked St, Louis defeated eighth-ranked St. John’s (N.Y.), 73-63, at St. Louis. It was the 10th straight win for the Billikens, the first loss after nine straight for the Redmen. St. John’s cut a 13-point deficit down to two points, 61-59. but St. Louis pulled away to win comfortably. Bob Ferry of the Bils and Alan Seiden of St. John’s tied for scoring honors with 25 points each.

International League Players J Sign Contracts By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International International League baseball players are signing contracts “the same as always,” despite their threat to strike unless they get a pension plan, a survey by United Press International disclosed today. General managers and other club officials from all over the triple-A circuit said “there isn't a shred of evidence” to support the slogan “no sign for ‘59” which the players announced they had adopted only 11 days ago. Harold M. Cooper, general manager of the Columbus Jets, said 15 of his players already 1 have signed contracts‘for 1959.,; Rai Garcia, spokesman for me Cuban iSugar Kings, said his club already has 13 signees. General Manager George Sisler Jf., of Rochester reported five players signed. Not a single club official reported that any .player had returned his contract unsigned with an explanation that he ws following instructions of the league's player committee, which is heading >the drive for the pension plan. Flayer-Spokesman Silent “So far, we have had no indication that any of the players are following that directive.” Cooper said. “Yes, a couple of contracts have been returned unsigned, but they were over a matter of dollars and cents, not because of any [directive.” I When appraised of the UPI sufi vey, James Durante, one of the ' attorneys representing the International League players, said, have no comment to at this time.” , General Manager Don Labbruzzo of Buffalo said he had mailed out only six contracts so far and the rest will go out Sunday. “Even if all the team members who played in the International League did hold out, we’d still have a team on opening day. We have 23 men on our current roster who were not in the league last year and the Philadelphia Phillies will send down 12 more a week before the season opens.” Rutty Schaffer, general manager. of the Toronto Maple Leafs, said five of his players already have irigned - All are rookies or youngsters from the Toronto area. The Richmond club, recently purchases by the New York Yankees, does not plan to send out contracts to its players until the middle of next month. Yankees Not Worried General Manager George Weiss of the parent Yankees, however, made it clear he is “not worried in the slightest” about contract difficulties with Richmond players. Joe Ryan, the GM of the Miami Marlins, said his relations with players on the club so far this winter have been “most cordial.” Ryan said he has not mailed out

They know our financial position.” Pitchers Eddie Baker and Bob Ch akal eS, the International League’s player representatives, said on Jan. 19 that they have instructed approximately 160 players not to sign 1959 contracts and not to report to spring training unless league officials grant a pension. Blake and Chakales said they had “98 per cent of the players” with them. League President Frak Shaughnessy says he is in sympathy with the players’ demand but that the circuit does not have the money to establish such a plan. ■. Berne Junior High Wins 60th In Row The Berne junior high scored its 60th consecutive victory, and its 14th in a row this season, whipping Lancaster Central, 38-22 at Lancaster Thursday evening. The Berne freshmen also won over Lancaster, 41-21. Zora Folley Wins Over Alex Miteff DENVER (UPD—Zora Folley’s chances for a title fight with heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson remained dim today, despite Folley’s easy 10-round victory over courageous Alex Miteff. Folley pounded Miteff, 23-year-old Argentinian, hard for 10 rounds in Denver Auditorium Arena Thursday night to take a unanimous decision. The crowd of 7,190, largest in Denver boxing history, paid $24,051, and cheered the decision. Anthony And Vargas To Battle Tonight NEW YORK (UPD—It will be matador-vs.-the bull tonight when slender Tony Anthony, top light heavyweight contender, faces Reuben Vargas, stocky heavyweight weight slugger, in their TV fight at Madison Square Garden. “ Because of his speed and punch, New Yorker Anthony is favored at 3-1 to beat the Mexican bobberweaver from Richmond, Calif., in Vargas’ eastern professional debut.

Typewriters Used In Grade Schools School Experiment On In Three States By PATRICIA MCCORMACK United Press International NEW YORK (UPD “Hitting the books” also means hitting typewriter keys for some very special fourth and fifth graders in 30 Illinois, New York and Massachusetts schools. The children are using typewriters during class in connection with research directed by educators from Boston University, Columbia University Teachers College and the University of Illinois. The purpose: To determine the influence of typewriter use on educational development of elementary school children. At the end of the school year, achievements of the typewriting children will be compared with those of children of the same age who did not use typewriters. Writing Found Slow Dr. Lawrence W. Erickson, professor of education at Columbia, said a fourth or fifth grader can write about 12 words a minute with a pen or pencil. “Because children of this age are so concerned with the mechanics of penmanship, writing is a clumsy and slow process,” Erickson said. “Earlier research has demonstrated that 10 and 11-year-olds can learn to type by the touch system, but this is the first time that children in so many different school systems have a typewriter on their desks for use during the entire school day.” Dr. Donald D. Durrell, professor of education at Boston University, another of the experts directing the experiment, said “typewriting should prove especially useful to bright pupils working at advanced tasks. Tt , should be equally advantageous to the child who is poor in reading, spelling and written expression.” Concerned With Handwriting “Quality and speed of handwriting is, of course, Os concern to us during the experiment. But possibly the neatness of typewritten work will encourage Improvement in handwriting.” The-research is supported by grants - from the Royal Mcßee Corp. Philip M. Zenner, president of the firm, said “we believe it is our place as a major manufacturer of typewriters to take the lead in providing financial support for this completely scientific and professional study.” Portable typewriters assigned to the children weigh seven and one-
