I West Virginia I Is Upset By I New York U. ' By JOHN GRIFFIN I United Press International New York University clamored today for a berth in the National I Invitation Tournament on the strength of its streak-busting upset of West Virginia—and it owed a large measure of thanks to a guy who was a sub on North Carolina’s 1957 national champions. ••This win bears out what I’ve been saying all along,’* said firstyear coach Lou Rossini of NYU after his Violets nipped 10thranked West Virginia, 72-700, in overtime at Madison Square, Gar den Thursday night. “We have only a so-so overall record (8-6).’’ Rossini admitted, “but I think we deserve NIT uin- ■ sideration because of the tough schedule we play. And I think we I proved that last night.” Cal Ramsey was the Violets’ high scorer with 30 points and he was the lad who sank three free throws in the last 78 seconds to give NYU its winnjrx? margin. Shares Hern’s Bole But Ramsey had. to share the 1 hero's role with Stan Groll, a brand-new member of the Violet I cast who has taken over in backI court and, glued together what had been a mighty wobbly machine. Groll, who was a sophomore benchwarmer on the unbeaten North Carolina team that won the NCAA tourney crown in ’57, trans- * ferred to NYU and just became eligible at mid-year. Groll, in addition to his playmaking. was a stickout on defense. With Groll in charge in the backcourt little Russ Cunningham was freed for more shooting, and he hit four key baskets as NYU rallied from 11 points down with 100 minutes left to tie the game in regulation time, 63-63. Bob Smith led West Virginia with 29 points and All-America candidate Jerry West added 20. Win -Streak tapped -ryy The loss snapped an 11-game West. Virginia winning streak and was only the fourth in 22 games for the Mountaineers. It also proved another disappointment for Coach Fred Schaus, a one-time popular pro player on the New York Knick! who has only rarely coach. North Carolina, ranked .No. 2 nationally and mighty hopeful of moving up to No. 1, escaped an upset Thursday night by beating Wake Forest, 75-85. but didn't escape entirely unscathed as the game at Winston-Salem, N.C.. wound up in a free-for-all fistfight involving players and fans. North Carolina, which now boasts a 15-1 overall record, took command of the game by breaking out of a 42-42 tie with 15 minutes to go. The battle royal started with 30 seconds left. Tar Heel 1 Coach Frank McGuire sent his five regulars to the showers when things calmed down and Coach Bones McKinney of the Deacons ’ followed suit and the game was completed. Dick Kepley of the Tar , Heels took scoring honors with 17 7 points. College Basketball Anderson 68, Villa Madonna 66. : McKendree 84, Rose Poly 63. New York U. 72. West Virginia 70.

(UPD — Mike Sullivan, ft, star basketball player School wfmdisappeared mysteriously Wednesday, has turned up safe in Virginia, about 350 miles from home. Sullivan telephoned his parents Thursday night from Clifton Forge. Va., saying he was “okay.” “We asked him to stay right there until we get there and take him home,” said his mother. The youth, one of the key players for the once-beaten and highranking Cubs, did not explain why he left home. “We were just happy to hear from him,” said his mother. “He told his sister, Ann* it was a long story,” Said Mrs. Sullivan. He did not elaborate. Paul Sullivan, the father, and an uncle started early today for Virginia.

Some Os Major League Stars Still Holdouts By MILTON RICHMAN United Pres. International Several of baseball’s salary battles have now moved up into the ;tratospherfc stage. That's the stage in which each party suggests, as tactfully. as possible, to the other that he go fly a kite. Jackie Jensen and the Red Sox fit into that general category today. So do Warren Spahn and the Brayes, and Roy Sievers and the Senators among others. Jensen, Spahn and Sievers each have said “no” to two offers already and all three of them don’t give the slightest inclination of yielding even though their respective teams begin spiring trainng wthin the next two weeks. “I won’t budge,” says Jensen, who was the Most Valuable Player in the American League last season and,is said to be asking 140,000. The Red Sox feel Jensen is being stubborn. “He has set a figure and he’s being stubborn about it,” says General Manager Bucky Harris. “Jackie’s a fine boy and I like him, but he’ll find others can fight, too.” ..... “The Williams Thing” Harris felt Jensen was basing his demand on “the Williams thing”—i reference to the $125,00 Boston is paying Ted Williams. Jenson insists he’s “not interested” in what Ted is getting. Still, there was a Red Sox pitcher a few years back who, during a salary wrangle, told a Boston official: “As long as you’re paying the big guy (Williams) so much, why don’t you have him go in there and do the pitching, too?” Spahn's case is a bit different. The Braves are acting as if he’s asking for a piece of owner Lou Perini's ’ construction company, whereas Spahn says all he wants is “a raise” for winning 22 games last season. It is believed the Braves offered their ace left-hander approximately the same $60,000 he earned last year. Executive Viee President Birdie Tebbetts claims he and Spahn “aren’t far apart.” Spahn counters that Birdie ain’t much of a judge of distance. Sievers, always a tough man to sign, also is looking for a pay boost. The Senators point out he was the highest paid Washington player in history last year with a salary of atfctfV Ue.UdtL. * ~ In any case, both parties are sitting tight and it looks like one of those temporary stalemates, » Some Headway Made Some headway is being reported with other players, however. --- Carl Erskine, dean of the Dodgers’ pitching staff, signed for his 12th season with the club. Erskine was believed to have taken a slight cut because of a 4-4 record last season, during which he was sidelined with injuries from time to time. San Francisco announced it had reached agreement with shortstop Daryl Spencer, who was Hie 32nd player to come to terms with the Giants. Spencer, who batted .256 last season, is ticketed for a trial at second base this spring. The Red Sox corralled pitchers Frank Baumtqm, Tom Borland, Mike Fomieles and Dean Stone along with infielder Frank Malzone, while General Manager Rick Ferrell of Detroit satisfied pitcher Jim Bunning in a telephone conversation. In . Cleveland, . JTrank Lane offered Jim Brown, the Cleveland Browns’ all-pro fullback, a,spring trial with the Indians. “We’re not in this for publicity as the Cincinnati Reds were in the case of Terry Brennan,” Lane said. “We’re interested in Jim Brown the baseball player, not the football player.” Brown, according to Lane, was a fine outfield prospect before concentrating on football. ’W»’- . Two Adams County Horses Approved Two Palomino horses belonging to Bill Reynolds and Joel Neuenschwander of Berne, have been ap; proved for registration with the national palomino association. Alex M. Campbell, Fort Wayne attorney, and representative of the association, inspected the animals Saturday, and approved them. Man Crushed To Death By Own Automobile GALVESTON, Ind. (UPD — Reed H.

Furgol said that since he changed his swing during the Thunderbird invitational his golfing fortunes have been picking up. He finished 13th in the TTiunderbird, then went on to win the San Diego open, and finish third in the Phoenix open last week. “It’s the swing," said Furgol after shooting a 62 in Thursday’s opening round. “But I’m not giving away any secret s,” he laughed when asked what he had ehanged.

Ryff And Andrado On TV Bout Tonight NEW'YORK (UPD — Lightweights Frankie Ryff and Cisco Andrade will try to take a long step up the comeback trail tonight in their TV fight at Madison Square Garden. The fact they are fighting on Friday-the-13th is not expected to add to the bad, luck each has experienced since >'both were rated promising contenders for the 135pound crown four years ago. There were so many “ifs” about blond Ryff of New York and swarthy Andrade of Compton, Calif., that betting continued to hover around “even money” for their nationally televised and broadcast (NBC) 10-rounder.

Urges Republicans Adopt Declaration WASHINGTON (UPD — Rep. Richard M. Simpson (R-Pa.) is back with his demand that the Republican Party draft a new declaration of principles to tell where the GOP stands. As chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee he has been pressing for such action since shortly after the 1958 elections in which the GOP suffered widespread defeats. In a Lincoln day speech at St. Paul, Minn.-, Thursday night Simpson said the party cannot wait for the 1960 platform to be drafted at its national convention next year. Must Reassert Priniciples He said Republican principles “must bereasserted and put before the people so that there can be no misunderstanding about where the party stands.” He said this statement should be one on whieh all GOP candidates, including the 1960 presidential nominee, could run next year. Simpson said he was frequently asked where the party stands on foreign trade policy, inflation, unemployment, subversion, taxes, centralization of government, deficit, spending and national defense. To answer such questions, Simpson has favored adoption of a declaration like that approved by Republican members of the House and Senate and the GOP National Committee in February, 1950. It was written as a “supplement” to the 1948 party platform. To Outline Objectives GOP National Chairman Meade Alcorn has been authorized by the Republican National Committee to name a group to define GOP objectives. He expects soon to complete the committee and hopes that its work will answer demands like that of Simpson. Simpson is- still uncertain whether he and Alcorn are aiming at the same thing. There is at least one difference in, that Alcorn holds that the GOP cannot write a 1960 platform in advance of the 1960 convention. Simpson says the party “cannot afford to wait.” Other Republicans, speaking on the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth, cited his views as they urged support of President Eisenhower’s stand on dvil rights and budget-balancing.

Call Girl Operator Worth $153,000 CHICAGO (UPD — A former madam believed to be operating a call girl ring today was found to be worth at least $153,000, with $66,000 erf the amount in cash hidden in her home, following her arrest in a vice investigation. Police arrested Mrs. Grace Van Scoyk. 68, Thursday night and in searching her home came upon the money stuffed in baskets, boxes and bags in a closet. “My friends were... good to me over the years,” the grandmotherly woman told authorities when asked to account for the money. “But remember that represents a lifetime in business,” they quoted her. “I worked for that.” Police also found a notebook in her home containing the names of men and notations after their names such as $lO and S2O. Deputy Chief of Detectives Howard Pferson said she-was held on open charges pending completion of the investigation. Detectives Richard Cain and Gerald Shallow of the vice bureau said the stocky, gray-haired woman offered to split the money with them because she feared going to jail. " “I’ll go to jail now,” they quoted her as saying, “when the income tax boys find out about this.” The' detectives took the money to police headquarters where Mrs. Van Scoyk and officers worked until the early hours of the morning counting the bills. When arrested, the woman said she didn’t know how much money she had hidden away, but estimated it at about $50,000. In addition to the cash, authorities said they found a receipt for $29,000 in a safety deposit box and a bank book listing $58,000 in deposits. Authorities said Mrs. Van Scoyk had a prostitution record under the alias of Mrs. Grace Vance. She was believed to be operating a call girl racket here, police said. Detectives arrested Mrs. Van Scoyk at her South Side eightroom house after she took S2O from them. Penasse, Minn., is the northernmost town in the U.S.

Michigan Slate And Michigan Play Saturday CHICAGO fUPM-The Big Ten’s two best rebounders —, Johnny Green of Michigan State and M.C. Burton of Michigan—play on the same court for the first time this season when the Spartans defend their league lead in one of four conference games on Saturday’s card. The Spartans, leading the pack by one game, ruled as slight favorites because they have a better record and because they are playing at home. But upsets are commonplace when these tw&-intra-state rivals meet. Both teams lost their last start. Purdue slowed the Michigan State title drive, 85-81, last Saturday and Michigan was an 8449 victim ot Indiana. The Spartans with a 6-3 record hold a one game edge over Indiana (5-3) and a game bulge over the Wolverines (4-3). A victory would put Michigan right back into the title picture and boost Indiana into a tie for the lead providing the Hoosiers can defeat Minnesota in their contest at Minneapolis Saturday night. Burton, with a 24.1 point average in conference play and an average of 17 rebounds a game, is both the top scorer and No. 1 rebound artist. The rubber - legged Green is right behind in rebounding, hitting an average of 16 2-3 per game, bdt ranks sixth in scoring with a 20.2 average. Purdue and Northwestern will
