(UPl)—Attorneys for the Indiana High School Athletic Assn, and for two promising basketball stars argued for 2ft hours Thursday in Lawrence Circuit Court about court authority in IHSAA matters. The IHSAA contended an injunction barring suspensoin of Frank and Billy Joe Stevenson should be dissolved. The organization told Special Judge Lester Nixon of Petersburg the courts have no jurisdiction in the case because high school membership in the IHSAA is voluntary. However, attorneys for the Stevenson brothers argued the courts have jurisdiction because the IHSAA is made up of public schools supported by public tax money. Nixon heard the arguments, then set next Thursday as the deadline for answering briefs by the Stevenson brothers. The IHSAA banned the Stevenson boys from ever playing high school basketball in Seymour on the grounds "undue influence” was exerted to bring them to Seymour High School from Joppa, 111. Attorneys representing the boys obtained a court injunction preventing the IHSAA from enforcing the suspension. However, Seymour school officials refused to allow the. boys to play during the past season, even though they had a legal right to do so. Thursday’s hearing dealt specifically with an IHSAA motion calling for the injunction to be dissolved. Record Entry List For NAIA Meet SIOUX FALLS. S.D. (UPI) — The team championship was up for grabs in the Bth annual National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics track and field meet today when a record entry list forced a speedup in preliminaries. Origin any", the two day meet was to open tonight, but officials, greeted by more than 350 entrants, had to make the opener hours earlier to accommodate semi-finals in some events. The exact time was to be determined when late scratches had been tabulated. Occidental College of Los Angeles won the 1958 team championship in last year’s NAIA meet at San Diego, Calif. Occidental, however, did not enter a team in this year's meet because of the expense of a trip. This is the first time the NAIA championships have been held in the Midwest. Previously, the small college association had run its championships in Abilene, Te. or San Diego. Sioux Falls was selected this time because of its modern Howard Wood Memorial Stadium and for a better chance for athletes in this section. . Jn the quantity department, the leader was South Dakota State from nearby Brookings, the 1953 ’winner at Abilene. The Jackrabbits listed 23 men on their 59 squad, although none was a leader in the season's NAIA statistics. Mankato, Minn., State Teachers College entered 17 men, including Ted Nelson, who set a new NAIA record last year in winning the 880-yard run in 1:51.8. Nebraska State Teachers College from Kearney was third in volume with 15, though none were rated. I Kansas State Teachers College from Emporia was in the favorites' spotlight because of Paul Whiteley, who topped all entrants in season performances in the distance rpns with times of 4:06.1 in the mile and 9:11.2 in the two mile.

Fight Over Strauss Enters Final Phase J WASHINGTON (UPD-The bitter Senate fight over confirmation of-Commerce Secretary Lewis L. Slrausg entered its final phase today with the outcome very much in doubt. Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson (Tex.) said he expected to call up the hotly contested nomination for debate today... The filing of formal reports for—and against—Strauss Thursday night cleared the way for formal Senate consideration of the appointment. Republican leaders still claimed the votes to win confirmation for StrausS. But some Democratic opponents contended that he might become the first cabinet appointee to be rejected since 'the Senate turned down President Calvin' Coolidge’s nomination of Charles B. Warren to be comerce secretary in 1925. m Soe opponents of the former chairman of the Atomic Energy London for the Atlantic Congress, Commission have predicted “extended” debate on the nomination. With several senators th London for the Atlantic Congress, no vote appeared likely for at least a week or 10 days. The Commerce Committee filed majority and minority reports on the nomination Thursday night. The committee —which split 9, to 8 in voting to approve Strauss—wa'S just as sharply split in stating its reasons. The majority brief report praised Strauss’ integrtiy, honesty, competence and ability to cooperate with Congress. The minority report said Strauss lacks the necessary integrity and competence for his cabinet post and can never cooperate effetively with the legislative branch. Trade to a good town - Decatur.

Confirm Paul Russo Ninth At Speedway i INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A recheck of a mass of tapes and charts of the Memorial Day 500mile race confirmed that Paul Russo finished ninth, Henry Banks, director of competition for the United States Auto Club, said today. Russo, Webster Groves, Ms.. and Fred Gerhardt, his car owner, made an unprecedented formal appeal contending they should have won sixth-place money Instead of ninth in the Speedway race. ' . “From the evidence presented,” Banks said after the audit, “Russo was completely satisfied that no error was made. He was very sportsmanlike about the whole, thing.” Russo and Gerhardt previously protested the officitfl standings announced by USAC, but the protest was disallowed. Old-timers around the Speedway could recall no previous appeal, Banks said, although nearly every year there are protests. Russo protested Sunday, a few hours before prize money totaling $338,150 was distributed, with winner Rodger Ward drawing the lion’s share of $106,850. There was a $2,150 difference between sixth place money of $8,475 and ninth place winnings of $6,325 which Russo won. The appeal was accompanied by sworn statements believing Russo finished sixth, behind Paul Goldsmith. Official rankings had Johnny Boyd, Duane Carter and Eddie Johnson between Golds mith and Russo. Russo, a grandfather formerly of Hammond, Ind., is a veteran “500” driver. Tom Bolyard Plans To Enroll At Indiana U. FORT WAYNE, Ind.

Cepeda Drives In Seven Runs To Beat Braves By FRED DOWN United Press International They say Orlando Cepeda is just a growing boy but groggy National League pitchers insist he’s a man-sized headache. The pitchers don’t look any sicker, however, than the experts who thought San Francisco’s 21year old slugger might succumb to the “sophomore jinx.” It was Lew Burdette’s turn to Thursday when Cepeda drove in Tthursday when Cepeda drove in seven runs with two homers, a double and a single in the Giants’ 11-5 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. The Braves took an early 5-1 lead but Cepeda’s two-run fourthinning homer cut the margin to 5-3 and his three-run blast in the fifth put the Giants in front. Orlando doubled with the ( bases filled to drive in the Giants’ last two runs in the eighth. Braves’ Lead Trimmed The victory cut the Braves’ first-place lead to 2% games. The Pittsburgh Pirates closed to within 3ft games of the Braves with their 9-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, the Cincinnati Reds downed the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-3, and the Chicago Cubs shaded the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-2, in the other NL action. i They’U be computing the American League standings with a slide rule soon because only 4% games and 96 percentage points separate first and seventh places. The Chicago White Sox’ 6-5, 17inning win over the Baltimore Orioles boosted them into first place with a .563 mark. The New York Yankees, who crushed Detroit, 14-3, are in seventh with a .467 average. And even the Boston Red Sox, who ended Kansas City’s five-game streak, 5-2 aren’t too far back at .435 and six games to make up. Stu Miller shut out the Braves with three hits for the last five innings but the victory went to Gordon Jones, who was the “pitcher of record” when the Giants staged their decisive rally. Homer, Triple Aid Bucs Bill Virdon’s two- run homer and Bill Mazeroski’s two-run triple were the key blows as the Pirates ran their Winning streak to six games. Ron Kline yiedled 13 hits but left 12 Cardinals stranded and went the distance for his fifth victory. One St. Louis hit was the 651st double of Stan Musial’s career tying Honus Wagner’s National League record. Joe Nuxhall pitched an eighthitter for the Reds who lathered Danny McDevitt for four runs and five hits in 1 1-3 innings to hand the Los Angeles left-hander his fifth setback. The Cubs’ Don Elston pitched hitless relief ball for 3 1-3 innings and won his fourth decision when Sammy Taylor’s lOth-inning sacrifice fly deliverey the winning run. The four-hour and 37 - minute marathon between the White Sox and Orioles ended when Earl Torgeson homered with two out in the 17th inning. Bob Shaw was the winner and Jerry Walker the loser. Hector Lopez, hitting .375 since obtained from Kansas City, drove in four runs with a homer and a double as the Yankees scored their seventh victory in nine games. Pitcher Whitey Ford, who won his sixth game, and Elston Howard also homered for the Yankees. Jerry Casale’s seven-hit pitchpitching helped the Red Sox deal Rip Coleman his fourth defeat.
