Brown Retains Title In Win Over Busso HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD—World lightweight chdmpion Joe Brown, already the busiest of the titlists with Johnny Etasso the sixth chai* lenger to fall prey to his boxing skill, thinks he needs a fight a month to keep in championship shape. The skinny little Baton Rouge, La., Negro worked up little more than a good sweat in earning a unanimous dec isi o n over the game New York challenger in a network TV bout Wednesday night but he wasn’t happy with his failure to score a knockout. It was Brown’s first fight in three months and his first title defense in nearly seven months and “old Joe,” who admits to being 32, said inactivity was to Marne.

Busso, whose face was a bloody mess at the end from an eye cut, a. nose bleed, and a swollen bruise under his left eye, was a 3-1 choice to go the distance against the champ and he made the oddsmakers look good in that respect. He was the aggressor throughout, but missed far more blows < than he even came close to landing on the bobbing, weaving ] champ. He kept light left jabs j flicking at Brown’s face and body, { but when he tried to follow with , the right Joe just wasn’t there. Brown staggered Busso, who had edged the champion in an overweight bout just three months , ago, in the fourth and jarred him through the lower ropes for a ; count of five in the ninth, but he couldn't put the stocky challenger ( away. — , Brown, unmarked and hardly j extended, was reedy for more ac- ( tion.

Young College Star Scores 70 In Game By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Kansas State, St. Louis, and Texas Christian seem headed for post - season basketball tournaments, all right, but they almost had their basketball thunder stolen Wednesday night by a young man who scored 70 points and grabbed 36 rebounds in a single game. *, Those amazing figures were turned in by 6-foot, 5-inch Paul Wilcox of Davis and Elkins during a 116-90 victory over Glenville. Wilcox, a native of Pittsburgh, took 44 shots and sank 32 -of them. He added six free throws for his 70-point total which shattered the West Virginia Conference record of 63 (which he held), was the highest by any collegian this year, and was the sixth high■gßF total ever recbrded in smallJcollege cage history. Wilcox, a junior, is the nation’s leading small-college scorer. K-State Beata Kansas Kansas State, the nation’s No. 3 team which now boasts an 16-1 overall record, took a long stride toward the Big Eight championship by beating arch-rival Kansas, 82-72, after trailing by six points in the early going. It was the 13th straight win for the Wildcats, who are heavily favored to nail down an NCAA tourney berth as they cruise atop the Big Eight with an 8 - 0 Oleague mark. Six-six Bob Boozer was held to 13 points in the first half, and Kansas State had to come from behind for a 36-35 intermission edge. But then Boozer ran off 20 more for a total of 33 and the Wildcats were home free. Soph Bill Bridges had 28 for Kansas. St. Louis, ranked ninth nationally by the UPI Board of Coaches, took over second place in the Missouri Valley Conference by beating eighth - ranked Bradley, 72-53, at St. Louis. 13th Straight Win Like Kansas State, it was the 13th straight win for the Billikens and their big man, 6-8 Bob Ferry, led the way with 22 points. The Bills, 15-2 overall and 6-1 in the conference, trail Cincinnati in the league. The team that wins the leage title goes to the NCAA tourney, but the runner-up is virtually certain of a bid to the National Invitation Tournament and the third-place team may get one, too. *' Texas Christian opened a twogame lead in the Southwest Conference race by trouncing Texas A & M. 80-61, at Fort Worth. H. E. Kirchner set a season high for TCU players with 3T points, sink-1 ing 14 of his 18. field goal attempts. The Frogs, now 8-1 in the loop, need to win only three of their last five loop games to clinch the crown arid an NCAA tourney berffi? Pro Basketbol* Boston 120, Philadelphia 118.

Hartford at Lancaster, Madison Nel Star Reported Missing MADISON, Ind. (UPD—A widespread search was on today for Mike Sullivan, 17, a key player on Madison High School's basketball powerhouse, who has been missing mysterfously since Wednesday. School officials said Sullivan, a strapping 6 foot 2 inc* senior athlete and good student, was seen walking toward a bridge leading to Milton, Ky., Wednesday. He also was seen at the city’s bus station where he inquired about the cost of a ticket to Cincinnati but did not purchase one. Another report, although unconfirmed, said he was picked up by a motorist on the bridge leading to Milton. “He’s gone and we don’t know where,” said Julius (Bud) Ritter, Sullivan's coach. "We think maybe he is headed for Ifort Myers, Fla., where his grandparents live.” Sullivan’s disappearance also stumped his parents. They said they had no idea where he went. Mike, considered an intelligent, quiet student, arrived at the school Wednesday as usual but did not enter the building when the bell rang. “He evidently walked right on, probably to the bus station,” said Ritter. “His folks said he didn't have enough money on him to get to Cincinnati. Then he_ apparently started walk ing toward the bridge.” Ritter discounted the possibility that a romance may be involved. They also did not believe that Sullivan met foul play. “He didn't date too much—girls weren’t part of his life—at least we didn’t know they were," said Ritter. “Mike is a big boy, he can take care of himself.” Sullivan was wearing blue jeans, a grey jacket and black and white oxfords when last"seen. Ritter uses the “six-starter” system in basketball, and Mike started several games in recent weeks for the Cubs, beaten only once thus far this season and ranked fifth in the United Press International coaches’ poll.

Urges Baseball Rule Changes On Interference CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPD—When a baseball ton reaches from his box seat and interferes with a ball in play, what difference does it make whether the ball was batted or thrown? Here’s another diamond query— If a game is interrupted by curfew, what difference does it make whether it’s the ninth or the tenth inning? The answer in both cases is “plenty”, according to National League President Warren Giles, and he thinks the rules-makers ought to do something about it. The way the rules stand now, he believes, often results in "unfair” situations. Fan interference with a batted ball, under present rule No. 3.16, is penalized by allowing “all runners, including the batter, to advance two bases.” But fan interference with a thrown ball is penalized by allowing the umpire “to impose such penalties as in his opinion will nullify the act of interference.” Rule Should Be Same Giles thinks the rule should be tile same in both cases — that it should be left to the umpire to decide how far the runners should advance. “There are areas in several parks,” Giles pointed out, "where a batter with average speed can make three bases or even an in-side-the-park home run if he hits a ball into one of those areas. The areas also are accessible to spectators because of low fences or widely spaced iron bars which can be reached through.” Giles maintained that limiting a batter to two bases on a batted ball interfered with in these areas “is obviously unfair.” The league pfesident also pointed out that the home team could “plant” a “fan” out there with orders to interfere with enemy blows. Giles didn’t say such skullduggery actually has happened, but he added, “rules which make this possible are harmful to the game," - — — Clubs Rules Differ As for games halted by curfew, Giles points out that the rules are different on what happens if curfew strikes before or after nine innings. If it’s before — the game becomes a suspended game and is resumed on a later date at the point it was stopol But if it’s

after the ninth inning, say the 10th or 11th then the game is not suspended — it’s ended and the score reverts to the end of the last full inning. Giles recalled a game last year "which pointed up the unfairness" of this rule difference. "In a game played in one of our cities which has a 6; 59 p.m. curfew," Giles said, "The visiting club scored one run in the top of the 10th inning, to go ahead, 3-2, While-the home club was batting in the bottom of the 10th, the time reached Result — "the visiting team lost the run it scored in the top of tlw 10th.

Veteran Racer 1$ Killed In Florida DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (UPD —Veteran race car driver Marshall Teague died the way he lived —hurtling along an asphalt speedway, shooting for a new world’s speed record. Teague, who started racing 14 years ago, was killed Wednesday in a spectacular crackup of his Sumar Special, the same type car which brought Mm prominence in the 1957 Indianapolis Speedway Classic. : The accident was a tragic opening for the annual NASCAR speed weeks which end Feb. 18-22 with championship races for modified and regular track models. Teague, best known as a stock car king, was not entered in the official program, but was warming up for a big-car race scheduled here in April. Only two days earlier, he set an American enclosed race track record of 171.82 mph. ‘ He was going after a world’s record of 176.818 mph, set by Tony Bettenhausen in Italy last summer when the front of his Ing car nosed
