Managoff Wins Feature Os Mat Card Wednesday Nearly 550 persons braved the ice and snow Wednesday night to witness the first wrestling card held in Decatur in several years, and to cheer as Hans Schmidt, featured headline wrestler, was disqualified in the main attraction before the third and final fall against Bobby Managoff. Virg Howell, of Fort Wayne, acted as referee, and Jim Beery, local auctioneer, acted as announcer for the three match card. The main attraction, featuring Bobby Managoff and Hans Schmidt, was delayed for 10 minutes while Managoff waited in the elevated four post ring awaiting the appearance of his opponent, Sehmidt. Several attending wrestling fans were disappointed when the scheduled two-out-of-three. or 60 minute time limit match, lasted only 20 minutes, but left the arena happy after Schmidt was disqualified by referee Howell when he placed Managoff’s thumb in the corner turn-buckle and attempted to twist his hand over the top. Schmidt took the initial fall from Managoff with a body press after a series of knee drops to the chest and neck, and a back-breaker. Before the second fall was administered. Schmidt lunged to Managoff’s corner, putting referee yirg Howell in the middle, and had roughed up both before the bell was sounded to start the second fall. Managoff evened up the match at one and one shortly after the bell sounded with a. flying leg scissors clamp to the neck, and pinning Schmidt's shoulders to the mat. -----—« 'pThe third and final fall started as more of a boxing match as,

both Managoff and Schmidt exchanged blows in the center of the ring. Schmidt finally got Managoff pinhed in the southwest corner, and proceeded with his usual tactics of deliberate meanness which has made him famous in the wrestling world. Referee Howell disqualified Schmidt for ' putting Managoff’s left thumb in the steel turn buckle while attempting to either break it or deliberately harm him. Schmidt argued with Howell for his decision, and exchanged a few blows with Managoff before leaving the ring the loser, while Managoff was announced the victor. A one fall or 20 minute time limit match between Johnny Weaver and Boris Volkoff, started the evening of wrestling at Decatur high school. Little can be said about the prelim match, but Volkoff was forced to run from the ring near the end of the time limit match dihen it appeared that Weaver was getting angered at the tactics used by Volkoff throughout the match. The holds used by each individual wrestler consisted mostly of wrist-locks and leg-locks. The four man tag match followed the prelim match featuring Weaver and Billy Goelz against the Volkoff brothers, Nicoli and Boris, in a two-out-of-three, 60 minute time limit. After a series of sidemares and body drives off the ropes. Weaver won the initial fall from Boris Volkoff, (the larger of the brothers), with an “atomic drop” (Weaver style), and a body press. The second fall was won by Boris Volkoff over Billy Goelz, Nicoli jumped over the ropes with with a body press after brother a flying knee drop to the chest of Goelz, giving brother Boris time to administer the body press. The third and deciding fall of the tag match was won by Nicoli Volkoff over Goelz after the latter had given a series of broad arm licks to Volkoff and a series of flying leg scissor holds to Nicofr’s neck; but during the last flying leap was thrown into the air on the top corner rope and turnbuckle weakening him enough for Nicoli’s body press. The wrestling card was brougth to the Decatur high school gym through the efforts of the local Red Men lodge and the Tri-State Promotions, Inc., of Fort Wayne.

Indianapolis Regional May Be Toughest By CHARLES HONAKER United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —On paper, it’s Muncie Central or Madison, and Saturday’s Indianapolis semi-state session of the Indiana high school basketball tourney promises to be the hottest of the four. 1 It’s fourth-rated Madison against lOth-placed Indianapolis Attacks in the opener and top-rated Muncie against unranked Rushville to follow. That makes Rushville the darkhorse, but the Liohs cannot be Ignored: Especially after extending Muncie to a 55-53 overtime game in the 1958 semis. Both Muncie and Madison missed perfect regular seasons by a single game. Attacks is 22-5, Rushville 19-6. Attacks had the closest call of this foursome thus far, outlasting city foe Shortridge in the sectionals, 63-62. The Tigers are itching to get another crack at Muncie, which they beat in a rousing 71-70 battle enroute to their first state title in 1955. Briley Madison Star But Attacks has to roll on all four cylinders to stay ahead of Madison’s Ohio River city boys, who have whaled five tourney rivals by an average margin of 27.6 points and who have yet to go against serious opposition. Harold (Buster) Briley is the most consistent Madison shooter. The big junior is also the front man in the Cubs’ vaunted fast break that stubbed its toe only at New Albany, which downed Bud Ritter’s boys, 60-55, about midway during the season. Muncie was tabbed as a “logical’’ state tourney finalist long before the long campaign got underway. The Bearcats have been itching for a history-making fifth state title ever since Milan beat them out of its five yeans ago, 32-30, on Bobby Plump’s basket with four seconds to go. The flu couldn’t stop John Longfellow’s boys last week when they trounced New Castle by 19 points before they waited out Parker’s deliberate style, 57-46. Rush Tenn Small Rushville is small, ' with no starter above 6 feet 1 inch, but tes Hay's lions face Muncie without pressure. ‘They have wfrvtir gained the “Fieldhouse Four' and are pointing for a giant-killing role. Muncie has gained the state finals 11 times to hold the record with North Central Conference foes Anderson and Lafayette. The Bearcats lost to Crawfordsville in the aftrnoon round of the finale last year, 53-45. Attacks, in the finals four times, hasn’t made the grade since 1957 when it fell short a single game of tying Franklin, the only team ever to win the “state” three years running. South Bend Central wrecked the bid. 67-55. Madison, in the finals three times, hasn’t made it since 1950 when it beat Lafayette for the title, 67-44.

Don Drysdale Is Given Aid By Campanella By FRED DOWN United Press International Don Drysdale, one of the biggest flops of the 1958 baseball season, is exhibit A today that Roy Campanella can help the Los Angeles Dodgers even from a wheelchair. The partly-paralyzed Campanella, serving as a Dodger coach this spring, inaisted at the start of training that he could help the 22-year old Drysdale recover the fotm that made him one of the National League’s most effective pitchers in 1957. Drysdale slumped to a 12-13 record and 4.16 earned run average last year after a 17-9 and 2.69 slate in ’57. Campanella insisted that Drysdale was losing his effectiveness because he had unconsciously discarded his three-quarter motion in favor of a sidearm delivery. He and Drysdale discussed the problem shortly after Campanella arrived at the Dodgers' Ve r q Beach, Fla., base and the 6-foot, 5- 210-pound right-hander der cided to follow Roy’s advice. Extends Shutout Innings How correctly Campanella analyzed the cue was demonstrated again Wednesday when Drysdale stretched his" string of shutout innings in exhibition play to eight with five scoreless frames in a 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Don Demeter singled with the bases filled in the ninth to cap a three-run rally and give the Dodgers their third win in five games. Johnny Temple led the Reds’ attack with four singles. Tie 1958 tailenders in each league “had a ball” for themselves, meanwhile, as the Philadelphia Phillies whipped the National League champion Milwaukee Braves, 13-7, and the Washthe tournament with a 23.2-point average; Jackson has been averaging 20 points a game and is a great rebounder. Villanova has good height up front in 6-foot-8 John Driscoll and 6- George Raveling but will have to find away to stop Siden and Jackson, who will have an added advantage of playing on thdir “home” court. St. John’s plays most of its regular-season gajmes at the Garden. Close Battle The Butler - Fordham clash shfrpes up as a closer battle. Butler, featuring its custoatpry fast break, won 18 of its last 21 regu-lar-season games to wind up with an 18-8 record. Fordham, although . crippled by the loss of key players late in the season, finished with 16-7 record. Two more first - round games wfH.be played Saturday afternoon when Manhattan plays Providence and NYU takes on Denver. The four seeded teams —Bradley, St. Louis, St. Bonaventure and Oklahoma City University—drew opening round byes. In the only NCAA major college tournament action Wednesday night, Idaho State defeated New Mexico State, 62-61, winning the right to play St. Mary’s (Calif.). Evansville rolled to an 82 - 63 victory over St. Michael’s (Vt.i, Southwest Missouri State edged Hope (Mich.), 76-74, Los Angeles State routed South Dakota State, 92-67, and North Carolina A&T eliminated American University, 87-70, in the NCAA small college championship at Evansville, Ind.
