Bob Cousy Signs Record Contract BOSTON (UPD — A “very pleased” Bob Cousy was the "highest paid player” in pro basketball today after signing a Boston Celtic contract for in excess of $30,000 and possibly as much as $40,000. Cousy, a former Holy Cross AllAmerican who signed his 10th contract with the National Basketball Assn, champion Celtics Monday, was to be paid on a sliding scale based on attendance according to owner Walter Brown.

Julius Boros Wins Dallas Open Title DALLAS, Tex. (UPD — Julius Boros packed his tournament clubs for the last time in 1959 today and headed home to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. with the $3,500 check representing the Dallas Open golf tournament championship. “I’m through for the year,” the stoical New Englander said as he walked away from the 18th green Monday still not sure whether he had yon or whether Bo Wininger of Odessa, Tex. or Jon Gustin of Gladwyne, Pa. would catch him on thfe final holes. They didn’t quite make it, and Boros’ final round 33-37—70 and 274 total stood up for the eighth title of his 10year career. Boros’ shaky final round, marred by miserable putting, squeezed him home in front by one stroke over Wininger, Dow Finsterwald of Tequesta, Fla. and host pro Earl Stewart, Jr., who wound up at 275—worth $1,866.66 each. Gustin, who had started the final round tied with Boros for the lead, blew his chances with a double bogey on the seventh hole and bogeys on the eighth and 18th holes. He wound up with a 36-36 —72 and a 276 total worth $1,300. Increased Interest Rate? Hurt Farmers When questioned on the effects of the new increased interest rates on farm loans, John Raber, president of the Indiana Farmers Union said, “It is simple arithmetic. Farmers in Indiand are mostly hog farmers. Last year, hogs were selling for $25 a hundred, and the interest rate was 5 per cent. Now, hogs are averaging: sl3, and the interest rate is 8 per cent. This means that last year a loan of SIOO from the bank would cost the farmer only 20 pounds of pork. Today, that same SIOO will cost him 61% pounds of pork.” Hungarian Soldiers Defect To Austria EISENSTADT, Austria (UPD — Austria today was considering a request for political asylum from two Hungarian border soldiers who fled thqir Communist-domihated homeland Sunday. Austrian 'police! identified the refugees as . Sitvan Loerencz and Sandor and said they crossed into Austria near Nikitsch. .* \,.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Favor Purdue, Wisconsin In Big Ten Race CHICAGO (UPD —Experienced depth and some good quality performance make Purdue and Wisconsin the teams to beat in the Big Ten football race this fall. - Wisconsin was second to champion lowa last year, losing only to the Hawkeyes and tying Ohio State, and Purdue was third, losing only to Wisconsin and tying Ohio State and Indiana. This year lowa and Ohio State have serious problems, while the Badgers and Boilermakers need to solve only minor matters to scrap for the top rung. Wisconsin’s Coach Milt Bruhn is concerned about his end strength due to loss of both Dave Kocurek and Early Hill, but Henry Derleth surprised at one flank last season, and he’s back. The entire first team backfield, Ron Steiner, Bob Zeman, Eddie Hart and quarterback Dale Hackbart, perhaps the best in the league, returns. So do tackles Lowell Jenkins, Jim Heineke and Dan Lanphear. Center and one guard spot might be uncertain. lowa’s Quarterback Problem Purdue has a standout backfield too, with fullback Bob Jarus the star. Quarterback Ross Fichtner and halfback Clyde Washington also return. Ih the line center Sam Joyner, guard Ron Maltony and end Dick Brooks will spark the first unit. Last year Coach Jack Mollenkopf platooned two very nearly equal teams, and this season he’ll reap the harvest by having at least one fine eleven. lowa’s major problem is at quarterback, where Olen Treadway, a rarely used understudy for two seasons, must take over. If he succeeds, the Hawkeye will be ’ better than expected. Coach Forest Evashevski has two of his spe’edster halfbacks returning Ray Jauch and Bob Jeter, fullback Don Horn, and standout ends Curt Merz, Don Norton and Jeff Langston. But his interior line will be smaller with less depth. Ohio State will be big at every position with speed at some.' Jim Houston was one of the nation s best ends last year and Bob ; White an AU Star fullback. In the jline Coach Woody Hayes keeps fcuch giants as tackles Jim Tyrer and Birtho Arnold and guards Ernie Wright and Oscar Hauer. But his halfbacks ami the tentative •quarterback, Jerry Fields, are uncertain qualities, and Hayes • quite believe he’U find the replacements he needs at other positions. Big Line at Illinois Northwestern and Illinois, In Coach Ray Eliot’s last season, could bid for the top berth. The Wildcats, under Coach Ara Parseghlan, will have more depth than usual and more size. Among the stars wiU be quarterback Dick Thornton, halfback Ron Burton, center Jim Andreotti, and tackle Gene Gossage. But the Wildcats last season lost to Wisconsin. lowa, Purdue and Illinois, and whether there’s enough improvement overaU to handle the same quartet again is questionable. Illinois will have one of its biggest lines ever with tackles Cliff Roberts, Joe Rutgens and Don Yeazel and guard BiU Burrell, But since Rich Kreitling joined the I pros, the end situation Has been a problem. Either John Easteri brook, despite his scanty height I and weight, or Bob Hickey will be the quarterback, with Marshall Starks and Joe Krakoskl likely to be driving halfback. None of the other four teams, Michigan State, Michigan, Minne- | sota or Indiana, figure for the first division, and if any one of i them improves greatly, sophomores win have to do the job. The Spartans perhaps have the best chance since halfback Blanche Martin, sidelined by injuries last season, returns, and Coach Duffy Daugherty will have some big boys and some good speed. Michigan, with new Coach Bump Elliott, will have to get some backfield strength to help Brad Myers and depth at every position. Minnesota will have its usual giants, but it’ll have its usual problem in speed too, unless Coach Murray Warmath decide to risk inexperience in his rookies to speed up his club. Indiana, despite its best record in a decade last season, has only one interior lineman returning, and Coach Paul Dicken will have his troubles filling the holes. ,

“Oh, nothing . . You always conta to me, so I figured I owe you a visit!”

Fort Worth Enters

Finals Os Playoff Fort Worth romped into the playoff finals of the American Association Monday night by blistering Louisville, 8-3, for its fourth straight win over the loop’s No. 1 club. The Cats slammed across six runs in the fifth inning to complete their sweep of the best-of-seven semifinals. Omaha's 18-year-old Ray Sadecki blanked Minneapolis on three hits, 7-6, to even that semifinal series at two games each. In regular season play, Louisville topped the eastern division with the best record in the league. Fort Worth placed second in the western division and posted the worst record among the four clubs in the playoffs. But all that meant nothing Monday night as the Cats tied the game, 2-2, in the fourth, then broke loose in the fifth on home runs by Bob Will and Moe Thacker. Starter Joe Schaffernoth took the win, although he needed help from Mo Martin in the seventh. Sadecki struck out 12 Miller batsmen and issued eight walks, but was helped out by three double plays. The strong lefthander also drove in a run on a sixthinning double. Carl Braun Signs With Knickerbockers NEW YORK (UPD—Carl Braun has signed for his 11th season with the New York Knickerbockers of the National Basketball Assn. Braun, 32, needs only 335 points to become the 10th player in NBA history to score 10,000 points during his career.

Braves Defeat Dodgers, Game Out Os Lead By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International Milwaukee is making a stretch run—and it’s a sizzler—so Bill Rigney may be right when he says “it’s liable to be another one of those photo finishes.” The Braves apparently have no intention of taking down the flag, symbolic of the National League championship, that has flown over County Stadium the past two years. Tbey won their eighth game in the last nine and climbed within a game of Rigney’s pace-setting Giants by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers, 4-1, Monday night after Cincinnati beat San Francisco, 4-1, in the only other N.L. scheduled contest. Buhl Kills Dodgers Bob Buhl, a Dodger-killer from way back, licked them for the fifth time in six decisions this year even though he needed Don McMahon’s help in the ninth. Buhl hurled a three-hitter for his 13th win of the season and he mow owns a 20-8 lifetime record over the Dodgers. Dutch Dotterer, Cincinnati’s sec-ond-string catcher,' proved San Francisco’s undoing. Dotterer singled runs across in the fourth and sixth innings after taking over for Ed Bailey in the econd inning. Johnny Antonelli failed i his second attempt to nail down his 20th victory. In the American League race, the White Sox’ lead was cut to

Baltimore topped Kansas City, l 9-4, and Washington beat Detroit, 5-0. Bosox Rout Donovan The Red Sox routed Dick Donovan with a six-run rally in the sixth inning that kept the White Sox’ pennant clinching “magic number” at six. Boston overcame a 2-0 deficit during the big sixth with a rally comprised of five walks and four singles, including one by pinch-hitter Ted Williams. Cleveland clinched second place and kept its faint pennant hopes alive with its victory over New Hork. Cal McLish scored his 18th triumph although the Yankees routed him with a too-little, toolate five-run rally in the ninth. Bob Nieman bated in four runs with his 21st homer and a single as the Orioles climbed within a game of fourth place by beating the Athletics. Tex Clevenger, a former reliever promoted to a starter, limited the Tigers to four singles in gaining his eighth victory for the Senators. Big Jim Lemon slugged his 32nd homer.
