Crucial Gaines In Big Ten's Race Saturday CHICAGO (UPD —Rose Bowl hopes will bloom or wither at two Big Ten strongholds Saturday when Northwestern meets Michigan State at East Lansing and Wisconsin faces Illinois at Madison, Wis. Both Northwestern and Wisconsin, the conference co-leaders with identical 4-1 records were favored to win and continue their deadlocked stretch run right down to the wire next Saturday. The Wildcats, in deference to their speed and alert linemen, were a one touchdown choice over Michigan State, and the Badger’s conservative but powerful game earned them a 10-point spread over the Illini. Badgers Beat Wildcats Northwestern suffered its first loss of the season last week, bowing 24-19 to Wisconsin. The Badgers lost their first conference test, 21-0, to Purdue, but have since mowed down the opposition. The two leaders could even absorb a loss Saturday and remain in the running for a title and a Rose Bowl bid Each has one more game, with Wisconsin getting the break here in a season finale with Minnesota. Northwestern has to tackle Illinois, a tough traditional foe which may be fired up with a notion to present Ray Eliot with a victory in his last appearance as coach. • The contest at East Lansing Saturday will present two of the flashiest backs in Big Ten football—Ron Burton of Northwestern, and Dean Look of Michigan State. Burton, a specialist in long runs, has gained 300 yards in 44 carries for the Wildcats. He has never failed to come up with a long sprint for a touchdown and once on his way has never been caught from behind. Badgers Have Best Line Look, the Spartans’ all-around quarterback, threatens to take over the league lead in passing total offensive. Look has tossed at least one touchdown pass per game and has clicked off 501 yards on the ground. At Madison, the Badgers again will parade before the fans what is probably -tha- best line in confertm??“wrar and Jerry »Stalcup in the forefront. Elsewhere in the conference, Michigan makes its first visit to Bloomington. Ind., since 1932 to meet Indiana: lowa, the league's offensive leader, goes to Columbus. Ohio, to meet Ohio State, and embattled Murray Warmath takes his Minnesota squad to Lafayette, Ind., for clash with Purdue.

Week's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Ossian at Monmouth. Harlan at Pleasant Mills. Berne at Portland. Hartford vs Chester Center at Bluffton. I Geqeva at Royerton. Saturday 1 Adams Central at Hoagland. Monmouth vs Petroleum at BluffI ton. — —1 Pro Football League To Play Team Rematches By EARL WRIGHT United Press International This is “get even’’ Sunday in the National Football League. All six games match teams which have met before this season. Sweeping the home-and-home series with a rival during the season is one of the league's toughest tasks. That means six coache* are “running scared” Sunday and five of them have teams in the thick of the division races. Coach Red Hickey’s San Francisco Forty-Niners, two games in front in the Western Division, provide a typical example of Sunday’s setup in their clash with the Bears at Chicago. The Bears (3-4) seek revenge for a 20-17 defeat suffered last month at San Francisco. The oddsmakers figure they'll get it, tabbing the FortyNiners (6-1) two-point underdogs. Coach Weeb Ewbank’s Baltimore Colts, defending league and Western Division champions, are closest to San Francisco- The Colts (4-3) are 9Mi point favorites to down the Green Bay Packers lost recently at Baltimore, 38-21. Must Beat Pittsburgh Coach Jim Lee Howell’s New York Giants (6-1) must whip the Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4-1) to assure themselves of maintaining their one-game lead over the Cleveland Browns (5-2) in the Eastern race. .The Giants are 7*4 point choices to defeat the team they had to sweat to edge at Pittsburgh, 21-16. Paul Brown’s Cleveland club visits Washington and is favored over the Redskins (3-4) b y 7Vi points. The Browns whipped the Redskins at Cleveland, 34-7, but Washington upset the Colts last week and may be tougher to handle this time. Coach Buck Shaw’s Eagles (4-3) are two games behind the Giants and entertain the Chicago Cardinals (2-5> at Philadelphia. The Eagles rallied for a 28-24 triumph over the Cardinals at Minneapolis and are four-point choices to down the Chicago club again. It’s the same story in the other game. The Los Angeles Rams <2-5) visit the Lions (1-5-1) and •are point choices to revenge the 17-7 defeat Detroit handed them in California. Defense, as usual, rules the league and the Forty-Niners, Giants and) Browns will throw three of the top defensive units at their Sunday foes. 49’er’s Defense Tough The Bears, who won their last two games after losing four of their first five, will try to dent a San Francisco defense that has allowed only 88 points. The FortyNiners lead the league in scoring with 189. They began a rugged road trip last week by winning at Los Angeles and play in Baltimore and Cleveland after Chicago before ending their regular season with two home games. New York has allowed only 35 points in sweeping its last five starts and the defensive platoon may get another stiff workout against Pittsburgh. New York’s top quarterbacks, Charley Conerly and George Shaw, are hampered by injuries. Clevelarid has allowed only 86 points, the league’s best mark. The Browns have been clicking offensively in recent games and face a Washington defense that has allowed more points than any other club, 195 Doh Bosseler, Washington’s fullback, is injured. The Cardinals lost to the Eagles last month after building a 24-0 lead. Norm Van Brocklin’s passes to Tommy McDonald pulled the Eagles from behind in that game. That 1-2 punch figures to provide most of the Cardinal problems again this time.

Attacks Heavy Favorite To Retain Crown By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndianapolis Attucks today was installed as a heavy pre-season favorite for the 1960 Indiana high school basketball crown, with Muncie Central and East Chicago Washington the top pretenders to the Tigers’ throne. Attucks, which romped over Kokomo last March, 92-54, to win its third championship in five years, received 14 votes ni a pre-season cross-section coaches poll conducted by United Press International: Muncie’s Bearcats, a perennial powerhouse and four-time winner of the celebrated “Hoosier Hoopla,” received 7 votes, and East Chicago 5. Also named for top honors were South Bend Central, New Castle, Fort Wayne'Central, Madison and Bloomington. Name Bix in NCC All will figure in area or conference competition, the experts predicted, but most ot them will be involved in rugged backyard battles before the four-week state tourney next February. In the North Central Conference, the coaches put their fingers on no less than half a dozen quintets. Besides Muncie and New Castle, they thought Logansport, Lafayette, Marion and Kokomo will be much in the forefront. Their other selections, by major conferences, included: South Central-rJeffersonville the team to beat, with Columbus, Rushville and Shelbyville the top challengers. Central — Elwood and Alexandria. East NlHSC—Michigan City and Elkhart, also Adams, Central and Washington of South Bend. West NIHSC — East Chicago Washington, Gary Tolleston. Western—Terre Haute Wiley. Southern— Bloomington, Evansville Central and North, Jasper,' Washington.

Other teams tabbed by the coaches to watch included Fort Wayne Catholic ahd Central in the Summit City area, Bloomfield in the Wabash Valley, North Judson, Gary Roosevelt in the Calumet, Shortridge and Tech in Indianapolis, and Madison- 8 Attucks,. with three players 6-6 or taller, will have more experience and its rebounding and defense should be Improved, said coach Bill Garrett. Muncie’s John Longfellow served notice his Bearcats will be battling all the way. He has all but two players back from last season’s once-beaten powerhouse. “The only things that can keep us from having a terrific season are injuries and ‘senioritis,’ ” he said. At East Chicago Washington, veteran Johnny Baratto lost four starters, including Pete Auksel, but Baratto figured his newest quintet may be a little stronger on the boards and outside shooting. Banet Has “Shooters” “We play a terrific schedule and by the end of the season we’ll know just how good we are,” he said. Fort Wayne Central’s Herb Banet predicted the school’s “best shooting team” since 1937.. He had one complaint, though—no players taller than 6-2. New Albany and Kokomo, other 1959 tourney finalists, are completely rebuilt. New Albany, for instance, lost its first seven players and coach Johnny Givens retired in favor of Floyd Henry. Logansport, the ' fourth tourney finalist, lost Bill Cuppy, its fine guard, but coach Jim Jones expects his club to be “equal” to last year’s. Michigan City’s defending East NIHSC titlists lost their starting crew, as did Terre Haute Gerstmeyer, tourney finalist four times in the last few years. Gerstmeyer’s Howard Sharpe is starting his 20th year of coaching. 16 at the helm of his beloved Black Cats. “Got my work cut out this year,” he said.

Chamberlain Scores 51 Points In Victory United Press Internattmal Wilt Chamberlain, averaging 40 elnts a game, may become the st polnt-a-minute player in National Basketball Association history. The Philadelphia rookie, who has ripped apart the best defenses in the circuit, climbed to a personal high of 55 points Thursday night as the Warriors defeated the Cincinnati Royals, 124-116. In other games, the Detroit Pistons beat Minneapolis, 107-93, and Syracuse whipped the Knickerbockers, 113-104, in a New York double header. Chamberlain, also bidding for a new season rebound record, grabbed 29 caroms and put the game out of Cincinnnati’s reach when he scored 12 straight points in the first six minutes of the fourth quarter. The Royals were trailing, 9288, when Wilt went on his spree. Jack Twyman, who paced Cincinnati to a 67-58 halftime lead, was the Royals’ high scorer with 32 points. Detroit, holding Elgin Baylor to 33 points, broke a four-game losing streak and climbed out of the Western Division cellar. The Lakers made it close in the fourth period when they trailed, 92-86, but the pistons rallied to take the contest. Archie Dees scored the Detroit high of 23 points. George Yardley set the Syracuse pace that planted New York deeper in the Eastern Division basement. Yardley scored 23 points, seven in a late game spurt that broke the game open.

Castro Cornered By Own Mistakes INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Cuban Premier Fidel Castro is “a man cornered by his own mistakes ,” Latin American correspondent Jules Dußois said Thursday night Hie Chicago Tribune writer said Castro is risking assassination from “an aroused opposition bearing arms again to rid their country of another dictatorship.” “His status recalls the old proverb that he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword,” said Dußois, who was menaced by a Cuban mob several weeks ago. Dußois, speaking at a Sigma Delta Chi dinner sponsored by the Indianapolis Times, a ScrippsHoward newspaper, said also that some Cuban newspaper editors are facing a life and death situation. ——= They are in a serious dilemma, he said, of whether they have enough courage under Castro’s regime to “continue to exercise freedom of expression and face a firing squad as a result.” Fear Castro Reprisals The editors in the dilemma, Dußois said, are those “who may still be classified as independent in the wake of Castro’s interference with press freedom.” In other activities of the national journalism fraternity convention Thursday, the resolutions committee was urged by SDX President James A. Byron of Fort Worth, Tex. to adopt a resolution denouncing the Castro government and censuring it “for having served notice on the world that it is totalitarian in character and should expect to be treated as such by the free world.” “TTie people of Cuba,” Dußois said at a news conference earlier, “are overwhelmingly anti-Com-munlst, but the brainwashing operation to which they are subjected is mesmerizing many of them.” The newsman said further there is' ’’indisputable evidence” that Castro has become “a captive of the' Communists and fellow travelers or that he is now in full agreement with them.” Speaking of the Oct. 21 “leaflet raid” over Havana, Dußois, who witnessed it, said Castro accused enemies of bombing and strafing the Cuban populace “to cover the utter stupidity of his own armed forces having fired its anti-air-craft guns over a city like Havana without any prior warning to its population."

Predicts “Disaster” “No man has in so short a time alienated so many of his former friends with such violent and reprehensible actions as Fidel Castro,” Dußoid charged. “Either wittingly or unwittingly, he is carrying Cuba to disaster.” Among the other speakers during the day was David Brinkley. NBC news . commentator, who humorously defended television Brinkley admitted that revelations concerning fixed television quiz shows were “scandalous and disgraceful,” but contended that their tenor was a clear product of deteriorating American environment. He predicted that within a short time, television network officials .would “force out the bums and racketeers” and thoroughly reform the Industry, Brinkley then laughingly cited simitar misconduct in the newspaper business and in many generally accepted practices of other walks of life.

Hos Cons roversy Between Majors And New League NEW YORK (UPD—Baseball’s cold war today erupted into a hot controversy between the major leagues and the new Continental circuit. William A. Shea, founder of the Continental League, opened the shooting battle by charging that the withdrawal of the Dallas-Fort Worth application for a franchise from the newly-organized loop is “part of the program of the American League and baseball to harass us.” Shea further alleged that millionaire contractor J. W. Bateson took the Texas franchise application out of the area because Bateson “has been sold by someone on the idea that he has a chance of getting into the American League. Denies Shea’s Charges “We are sorry he has been so gullible,” Shea said, “Dallas has no more chance of getting into the American League than Sioux City has.” Bateson had been a real enthusiastic backer of the Continental League in the past."' Bateson, who has been in baseball only two years as operator of the Dallas franchise in the Texas League and then in the American Association, denied that any major league interests had influenced his decisions. “The only selling done,” said Bateson, “was by the people of Dallas and Forty Worth. They sold me the idea that there wasn’t enough enthusiasm to insure success.” Says Nobody Interested Bateson said he didn’t know whether the Dallas-Fort Worth section would ever get into the established major leagues, but “I’ll certainly try to keep my hands in baseball until that day comes.” “I tried-. .and tried hard,” he said, to find someone interested in the Continental League. “Not a person in Fort Worth offered to put a dime into the venture and we couldn't find any substantial financial backing in Dallas.” The Dallas-Fort Worth franchise had been touted as an ddition of the Continentl League’s five founding cities — New York, Toronto, Denver, Houston and Min-neapolis-St. Paul. New York already appropriated $170,000 to investigate the building possibilities of a 50,000-seat stadium for that city’s team in the Continental League..,, , Minoso Fractures Wrist In Cuba Loop HAVANA (UPD—Outfielder Minnie Minoso, a .302 hitter for the second-place Cleveland Indians last season, suffered a small fracture of the left wrist Thursday while playing in the Cuban Winter League. A spokesman for the Marianaos club said Minoso will be sidelined about two weeks as a result of- the injury.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. 8. Pat Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International SAN FRANCISCO (UPD — Sitting on a thumb of land jutting out into San Francisco Bay, a huge concrete doughnut is slowly shaping up today as the new home of the baseball Giants. These are conflicting theories as to the merits of this baseballonly stadium which will wind up costing somewhere between 15 and 21 million dollars. The estimates depend on whether you talk to the "fors” or the “againsts.” There are a number of drawbacks as well as certain advantages. The stadium, to be known as Candlestick Park, is only 11 miles from downtown San Francisco and it has more than adequate parking space. Also, for the playing of baseball it is laid out beautifully. New Sewage Terminal However, and in this case that becomes a huge word, there are too few streets leading in and out of this playground peninsula. In addition, there is the fact that not too far away is the point of destination of the city's vast sewage system. Even on crisp, cool days, there is a far from pleasing aroma noticeable and even the hottest of the “fors” admits that on a blazing summer day the odor should be even worise than a game against the PhiUiesThere is some resentment in Sari Francisco because the city did not even consult with football interests, such as the professional San Francisco 49’ers who now play in Kezar Stadium, and come up with an all-purpose stadium. If they had, the stadium could have been put to use almost on a year-round basis instead of being constructed solely for 77 home baseball games. Two Candlestick Theories There are two theories as to how this was named Candlestick. One is that the peninsula is shaped like a candle. The other is that in this section there once was a campaign among the residents to put candlesticks in their windows as a guide to ship’s and boats out in the oft-fog' shrouded bay. Whatever the reason, it will be known as Candlestick Park and. come opening day next spring, 41,000 fans will jam their way into the big doughnut to cheer on the Giant team which San Francisco has taken to its heart. And. if the Giants win. there probably won’t even be too much cussing about the aroma from over the hill or the traffic jam going home. Ramon Monzant Signs Pact With Giants CARACAS, Venezuela (UPD— Pitcher Ramon Monzant has mailed a signed contract calling for about SII,OOO back to the San Francisco Giants. Monzant, sidelined this year by a sore arm, is helping his recovery by pitching in the winter league.

Feature Games On Saturday's College Grids By FRED DOWN United Press International Syracuse. Texas and Southern California are expected to continue their march toward unbeaten and untied seasons while Louisiana State, Northwestern and Penn State try to rebound Saturday on a college football card filled with important conference and traditional contests. Several of the lucrative Jan. 1 bowl berths could be decided but it's considered more likely that such close races as the Big 10, Pacific Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference battles will continue down to the final week of the campaign. Syracuse, the new national leader, is rated a whopping 36point choice over Colgate, Texas is rated six points oyer Texas Christian and Southern California is 14 points over Baylor. Indications now are that Syracuse and second-ranked Texas will go on to a ‘Cotton Bowl showdown that would be one of the most attractive bowl pairings of all time. Colgate has won only one of seven games while Syracuse has rolled past Kansas, Maryland, Navy. Holy Cross, West Virginia, Pittsburgh and Penn State. TCU Coming Fast Texas Christian has been coming fast since early-seaaon losses to LSU and Arkansas but Texas is given the edge because of a more potent offense. Southern California, apparently enroute to a perfect season, is competing only for the national championship since it is ineligible to play in the Rose Bowl. LSU. beaten last Saturday after 19 straight victories, is a 22point favorite over Mississippi State Saturday night, Northwest-

era is six over Michigan State and Penn State is 18 points over Holy Cross. LSU still has a strong chance to play in the Sugar Bowl- Northwestern is battling Wisconsin for the Big Ten title and the visitor’s Rose Bowl bid and Penn State is expected to go to either the Liberty or Gator bowls. Wisconsin, which tied Northwestern for the Big Ten lead last Saturday, is favored by 10 points over Illinois. Washington, which still has the inside track for the West Coast's berth in the Rose Bowl is favored by six points over California but Oregon is rated no better than even money against Washington State. Washington and Oregon are in a two-team battle for the lucrative bid because of Southern Cal’s ineligibility. Colorado Surprise Underdog Colorado, which seized the inside track for the Big Eight's Orange Bowl bid last Saturday is a surprise underdog to a Nebraska eleven that has lost to Texas, Kansas, Indiana, Missouri and lowa State. The Buffaloes (4~4> would be the Big Eight’s bowl choice if they finished second in the race because Oklahoma is ineligible to go for a second straight time. Clemson, which rules the Atlantic Coast Conference with seeming ease and almost certainly will receive a major postseason bowl bid, is rated 14 points over Maryland. In other attractive pairings, Notre Dame is 3 over Pittsburgh, Southern Methodist 6 over Arkansas, Auburn 3 over Georgia, lowa 6 over Ohio State, Duke 7 over Wake Forest, Oklahoma 7 over Army, Dartmouth 8 over Cornell, Harvard 10 over Brown, Mississippi 8 over Tennessee, Navy 27 over George Washington and Missouri 21 over Kansas State.
