Tom Bolyard Is Key To Success For South Side By CHARLES HONAKER United Press International * INDIANAPOLIS (UP!) - Tom Bolyard, the top scorer in the “Sweet 16.” is the key to state champion Fort Wayne South’s success in Saturday’s .Fort Wayne InIhdianaigh school basketball semistate tourney. South’s Archers, No. 9 in the state and 22-4, collide with fifth rated Kokomo in the first afternoon game. And while South Bend, Central and Marion, the secondgame foes, cannot be ignored, it’s generally conceded that the winner of the opener will be favored to represent the Northeastern section in the four-team state finals. Bolyard versus Jimmy Rayl and Roger Thurston of Kojkomo. That should be quite a battle. Bolyard is the top pointmaker in Fort Wayne prep history. He dumped 62 points in the regionals for another record and is the only holdover regular fom Don Reichet’s 1958 state champs. i Kokomo Always Bridesmaid He is not a one-man show, however.Southhas several other capable hands, including center Dave Barrett and guards Mike Simmons and Kenny Howe. Kokomo has been red-hot after its first state crown for years but ended with nothing but frustration. The Wildcats, 22-5, have made it to the "Fieldhouse Four” three times, gained the title game twice but lost to Evansville Bosse in 1944 and to Frankfort back in 1925. This is. Joe Platt’s ninth Kokomo team — perhaps his best. Certainly, he’s never had a finer shooter than the spindle-thin Rayl, a rawboned 6-1 senior guard who scales less than 150 pounds and Who scored as many as 49 points a game. Thurston averaged 26.5 points in the regfoals, Rayr~24.s. Bolyard topped them all with his 31-point average. South Bend Central, twice state champ in recent years, chceta in with- a 'record. and a new coach — Jim Powers. The Bears, built around 6-5 Sylvester Coalmon, dropped their first five games but finished strong enough tO. rank Mth in toe his ndW«sr WtaF**vound up with a fine front line that also includes Joe Wesley and •’Gilbert Walker, both 6-3. Coalmon Top Scorer Coalmon, a star on the 1957 Central state championship quintet, who underwent a knee operation last year, is usually Powers’ top scorer. But rebounding, has been South .Rend’? best weapon. Marion, the darkhorse in . this foursome, had to win five tourney games in the sectionals and regionals to come up with a winning record—l 3-12. The Giants also have a new coach. Paul Weaver, and a rangy front" line that tecludes 6-4 Dick Green ad 6-3 Jim Armstrong, and better than average scoring balance. Marion beat Kokomo early in the season, 68-63. but Kokomo more than evened the score with a 98-58 thrashing about three weeks ago. None of the others met during the regular s ea®° n - Marion won toe state title in 1926 and has made it to the 4team finals four times, but not since 1950 when it lost to eventual champ Madison, 50-49. Merriweather Named As Most Valuable LAFAYETTE. —Willie Merriweather, Indianapolis, was named Purdue’s ’•most valuable” basketball player Tuesday night. Bob Fehrman, Aurora, was named honorary captain, andßob Orrill, Madison, won the Ward Lambert scholarship trophy. Merriweather led the Big Ten in field goals with 125 and set a Purdue scoring record for the season with 457. - ~

Coaching Tactics Os Hickey Are Assailed SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPI) — Ed (Moose) Krause, athletic director of Notre Dame, charged Tuesday night that the game of basketball would be ruined if more coaches followed the example of Marquette’s Eddie Hickey. Bitter over the Notre DameMarquette game which rang down toe curtain on the Irish cage season last Saturday, Krause complained about the stalling tactics of the Warriors. Notre Dame won, however, 51-35, despite the ball freezing maneuvers. “Hickey just set out to embarrass Notre Dame before its home crowd,” Krause said at the an- ’ nual basketball banquet. “He didn’t care about whether he played good basketball or bad basketball, and I’m sure his kids feel he los;t the game. He had them afraid to take a shot. In the game, Marquette got the opening tip-off and refused to attempt to penetrate Notre Dame’s zone defense for 11 minutes. Notre' DSrrie finally broke the scoreless deadlock, and Marquette rallied slightly to take a lead before Notre Dame knotted the j score at 16-all at halftime. “Hie fans saw only 30 or 45 seconds of basketball in the first half,” Krause eaid. “Hickey figured he’d embarrass us in the first half and beat us in toe Second. But we surprised him and beat him ourselves.” Krrause said Hiokey beat Notre Dame a few weeks earlier when Marquette utilized a fast break and center Mike Moran scored 39 points. “Then he comes down here and Moran takes only one shot in toe first half and three in the second and fouls out with three points,” Krause said. “That’s not basketball, and it’s not fair to toe fans.” “If more coaches followed his example. he could ruin the game.” Krause added. Bill Veeck And Associates Take Over White Sox 4 t ,- — — — 9 » ,S- «» .. 4 CHICAGO (UPD — Bill Veeck and his associates, the new majority stockholders of the Chicago White Sox. visit Comiskey Pafk today to see the baseball empire they have purchased. Veeck and fits syndicate, which includes former major league star' Hank Greenberg and five investment bankers, paid $2,706,00 Tuesday to Mrs. Dorothy Rigney for her majority stock interest. The purchase gave Veeck’s group 54 per cent of the stock. The other 46 per cent is held by Mrs. Rigney’s brother, Charles (Chuck) Cotniskey. Who batted futilely in the courts to prevent the sale. * Comiskey IN Florida Veeck hoped to me§t with Comiskey, a Sox vice president, as soon as possible and discuss the sale ahd the future of the American League club. Comiskey, however, was in Florida at the Sox training camp in Tampa. He was not expected to return to Chicago until Thursday, however. “We’ll keep coming back to Comiskey Park, Veeck said, “until we can sit down with him in what we pray will be a most amicable discussion.” Veeck emphasized he hoped to keep Comiskey in the organization as a “partner.” "We are not going on the muscle” hOsajd. “We don’t want any of the ntssling and scrapping that has gone bn for yesrsnow.” ~ Veeck - and Greenburg hoped to negotiate'wito Comiskey to obtain equal status for all three in running the club. John Rigney, the husband of Dorothy, will remain a vice president of the club for the time being, Veeck said. Indicates Amicable Agreement The colorful Veeck, who previously operated other American League clubs at St. Louis and Cleveland, indicated an amicable agreement with Comiskey would be the fulfilling of two purchase clauses in his contract under which toe price he must pay could be trimmed. One clause would cut the price $175,000 if he failed to obtain control of 80 per cent of the stock within one year, while the second would reduce toe price $200,000 if he failed to obtain control of the board of directors within three years. Veeck and Greeiiburg> for the time being, wore appointed executive assistants to Rigney. McCafferty Added To Coaching Staff BALTIMORE, Md. (UPI) -The Baltimore Colts today announced the addition of Donald McCafferty to the Club’s coaching staff to fill |he vacancy created recently when end coach and scout Bob Shaw resigned.

North Carolina Upset By Navy In NCAA Meet By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press International Navy’s new “team named desire,” which brought back the war-time sparkle even to the tired eyes of old seadog Adm. Bull Halsey by whipping North Carolina in the first big upset of the NCAA basketball tournament, got its battle cry today from Coach Ben Carnevale: “We think we can win any game we play.” You gotta believe ’em in the wake of Navy’s 76-63 triumph over Carolina’s Tar Heels at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night. That stole the NCAA show from other victories in New York by West Virginia and Boston University and in Lexington, Ky., by Marquette and Louisville. , Now, except for one first-round game tonight In -Las Cruces, N.M., between Idaho State and New Mexico State, the stage is set for 16 teams to open NCAA regional play Friday night at four sites—Charlotte,» VKC:, Evanston. 111., Lawrence, Kans., and San Francisco. ,1 Mountaineers Beat Dartmouth Boston U. qualified to meet Navy at Charlotte by rallying to nfp Connecticut, 60-58, and West Virginia at last overcame its NCAA jinx in trouncing Dartmouth, 82-68, to earn a Charlotte berth against St Jose phis (Pa.). Marquette earned an Evanston berth opposite Michigan State by ripping Bowling Green, 89-71, and Louisville earned an Evanston shot at. state rival Kentucky by beating Eastern Kentucky, 77-63. The New York crowd stared in disbelief and then cheered in delight as the Middies stormed to a 34-22 halftime lead and built the margin to 59-40 with seven minutes remaining. They did it on: 1. Brilliant ballhandling: 2. a steel-trap “combination” defense: 3. Deadeye shooting: and 4., above all. just plain grit. Jay Metzler, whose 6-6 is the Navy height limit, led the Middle hutslers with 20 points while Dick Kepley paced Carolina with 16. All-American Jerry West scored 25 points to lead West Virginia to victory. He suffered a mustle spraift early inthe game and was noticeably slowed — “I couldn t make any good moves on defense —but is expected to be in good shape again by Friday. • West Virginia, trying for the fifth time to get past the NCAA first round, finally made it after having only a 26-25 lead with 1:41 left in the first half. At tljat point Dartmouth ace Rudy La Russo sat down with his fourth personal foul. West scored six points in a 12-point spree as West Virginia opened a 35-27 halftime lead to make it easy after that. Free Throws Win Ed Washington’s three free throws in the last 19 seconds gave Boston U. its win in the raggedlyplayed opener. After a 35-35 halftime tie, Boston went 12:15 of the second half without a basket to fall 10 points behind, then.rallied to win as Connecticut went into a fatal stell that Coach Hugh Greer insisted his players concocted “strictly on their own.” Jack Rose of Connecticut took scoring honors with 28 points. Six-nine Mike Moran tallied 22 points and dominated rebounding to lead Marquette to its victory at Lexington. Little guard Jim Darrowt allied 26 in a brilliant but vain effort for Bawling Green. Redhaired Don Goldstein's 25 points paced Louisville as it repeated a regular-season win over Eastern Kentucky. The Cardinals were in front all the way after taking the lead in the opening, minutes of play. Tonight’s Idaho State-New Mexico State winner will go to the San Francisco regional "against St. Mary’s (Calif fr New Mexico State has won 24 straight games on its home court at Las Cruces.

Mickey Mantle Hampered By Sore Shoulder By FRED DOWN United Press International The New York Yankees were faced today with the possibility that SBO,OOO-slugger Mickey Mantle will be hampered — at least during spring training and perhaps during the American League season —by a recurrence of his 1957 World Series shoulder ailmerit. - - . ' . Mantle, who hopes to shoot for the triple batting crown, was advised Tuesday not to throw for three days after he felt pain in his right shoulder. Dr. Sydney Gaynor, the club physician, found no calcium deposit and told Mantle to resume his workouts but to refrain from throwing. Nobody in the Yankee camp seemed inclined to push the panic button, but reporters were surprised when Mantle revealed he has had recent trouble with the shoulde and has undergone treatment. The Yankees had made no mention that anything was wrong with their super star. Mantle first suffered the injury when he collided at second base with Red Schoendienst of the Milwaukee" Braves during the 1957 World Series. Like his predecessor, Joe DiMaggio, Mantle, is a very slow healer and apparently is subject to recurring ailnients more than most athletes. Braves Beat Yankees The Milwaukee Braves didrt’t help) Casey Stengel’s disposition when they beat the Yankees for the Second straight time, 5-2. Rookies Jerry Nelson and Bob Giggie and veteran Joey Jay combined to hold the world champions to four hits, including a two-run homer by Andy Carey. Hank Aaron homered for the Braves. The San Francisco Giants also received some bad news when pitcher Red Worthington was ordered to New York City for a possible knee operation. Worthington, a holdout, reported from Birmingham, Ala., that his knee has puffed up and Dr. Harrison McLaughlin will decide whether ail operation is necessary. ..—= The Boston Red Sox remained the only unbeaten team on the grapefruit circuit when they beat the Giants, 8-2. for their third straight win. Jackie Jensen drove in two runs with a single and double and Frank Malzone delivered a two-run single to spark Boston’s " atta?k ’ Reds [ Catcher Ed Bailey blasted a I three-run seventh-inning homer that carried the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-3 decision over the Kansas City Athletics. The blow came off Ralph Terry after doubles by Frank Thomas and Frank Robnson produced one run. Joe Nuxhall stopped a Kansas City rally in the ninth. Tony Taylor clubbed out two singles and a double for a perfect day and led the Chicago Cubs to a 9-3 rout of the Cleveland Indians. Cal McLish was rocked for five runs in the first inning.
