Major Coaching Changes Made In Prep Ranks By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — More than a dozen major coaching * changes took place in Indiana high school basketball circles since last winter, a United Press International survey showed today, with newcomers looking for hardwood glory from the Calumet to Evansville. Gone but not forgotten are such veterans as Bob King, Claude Weeks, Johnny Givens, and Larry Hobbs. King, whose Hammond Wildcats won 10 sectional tourney titles in his 16 years, retired in favor of Steve Kucer, his assistant. With an overall record of 277 victories against 125 losses, King’s teams ang up an impressive 47-6 mark . in sectional warfare. He had only two losing seasons —his first in IM4 and 1058. Current “Too Swift” Weeks, who spent 11 of his 24 years’ coaching at Hartford City, was succeeded by Dave McCracken. And Givens, the handsome New Albany coach with the southern (Kentucky) drawl, turned over the reins to Floyd Henry, his assistant, after his Bulldogs marched into the state tourney finals last March for the second time in five years. New Albany, however, is still looking for its first state titleHobbs, dean of Hamilton County coaches, called it quits after 27 years on the bench, but remained as Sheridan principal. “The current is getting too swift,” he said nearly a year ago. “So I thought it’s time to quit.” Son Joe, who starred at Florida, took over; for Hobbs. Huntington, like Hartford City a member of the Central Conference, picked a nev' coach in Bob Straight, replacing Ivan Wilhelm. Wells at Greensburg In the South CentraL Conference, Ted Server replaced Art Cosgrove at Franklin, and Rex Wells took over for Harry Ritter at Greensburg. Server, who moved over from North Vernon, was one of the stars on Madison’s 1950 state champs. Wells won “coach of the year” honors after piloting unbeaten Springs Valley into the state tourney finals in 1958. Floyd Henson, whose Odon club won sectional and regional tourney crowns for the first time last season, moved up to Linton, succeeding Max Woolsey. Also downstate, Tom Gore took over for Ed Schultheis at Evansville Mater Dei. Keith Showalter formerly of Logansport, succeeded T.L. Plain at Vincennes. Plain moved up to.the colege ranks at Kentuclky Weseyan. Ray Craft, a member of Milan’s 1954 state champs, returned to his prep school, replacing Sam Willey. X Indianapolis has two new coaches—Johnny Wilson of Anderson fame at Wood and Ray Riley at Scecina. Adams Wan at Vincennes < Upstate, By Hey succeeded Don Bruick at Fort Wayne North, Cosgrove replaced Hal Peck at Goshen, Evar Edquist took over for Jim Robbins at Hobart, and Bob Stephens for Virgil Landry at Auburn. , Peck resigned after Goshen was drubbed in the first game of the sectional tourneys last February by Concord Shortly afterward, Peck was hanged in effigy from a tree at the rear of the school. The retirement of John Adams as coach and athletic director at Vincennes ended a 47-year career. Adams guided the Alices to the state title in 1923 and the Wabash Valley crown two years later. His Vincennes teams won 433 games and dropped 158 and won 19 straight sectional titles. Lafayette now holds the longest live sectional string—l 6.

Brookston Man Wins Fifth Corn Crown LAFAYETTE, Ind (UPI) —J. Herbert Roadruck of Brookston went down in Hoosier agricultural history today by winning the Indiana five-acre corn growing championship for the fifth time. Roadruck's 210-bushel-per - acre yield was somewhat below the 1958 yield of 226 bushels by Karl Moser of Montgomery County. But it was the state’s best, as Roadruck’s productions also was in 1950, 1951, 1953 and 1957. It was the first time a farmer ever had won the senior division championship as many as five times. Roadruck’s high yield was accomplished on a silt loam field devoted to corn for the fifth year in a row. The field was plowed in November after an application of 900 pounds 45 per cent urea, 400 pounds 47 per cent superphosphate and 400 pounds 60 per cent muriate of potash per acre. The field was disced and harrowed twice. The. grain was drilled May 21 in 40-inch rows with kernels seven inches aart for a plant population of about 23,000 per acre. It was sidedressed with 230 pounds of nitrogen in anhydrous ammonia per acre. Roadruck used Chester’s KV3SA hybrid seed. At planting time the corn was sprayed for weed control. It was cultivated once with

Railroad 'Blue' Laws NEW YORK (UPl)—Technically, it’s against the law to sneeze on a train in West Virginia, to run a freight on Sunday in New Jersey or to wear spike shoes in railroad stations or on rolling stock in Maine. A list of these and other such “blue” laws was compiled recently by the Jersey Central Railroad, i which also found that one cuspidor is required for every three parlor car seats in Texas and that it was once illegal to board a streetcar in Gary, Ind., within four hours after eating garlic. a rotary hoe and twice with a cultivator. It was sprayed with five per cent DDT for insect control. Gilbert P. Waler, Purdue extension agronomist, said yields were down from 1958 because of moisture deficiency in some areas and leaf blight damage in others. Roadruck was the only one of nearly 3,800 farmers who entered the contest to get better than 200 bushels. It was the seventh time he had done so. Rober Hops. Dubois County, was second with 194; Harold Milburn, Benton County, third- with 193; Wayne Milburn, Benton, and Desco Newton, Daviess County, tied for fourth with 192; Gwen Rudolph, Pike County, sixth, 191; Harry’ McKowen, MadisOn County, seventh, 190; Maurice Bosstick, Clay County, eighth, 186, and Melvin Peters, Jackson County, and W- R. Orr, Tipton County tied for ninth with 185.

Bob Stack Doubles TV Appearances By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Robert Stack, who. is rich enough not to work at all, has doubled his appearances in a new TV series because he doesn’t want to cheat viewers. “Actors are taking advantage of the public when they lend their names to a program, then fail to perform in every segment,” he said. “When I first agreed to star in ‘The Untouchables* I was supposed to appear in 11 of the 26 shows, narrating as host in the other 15- But it is unfair to viewers to remove the main character from more than half of the series. Therefore, I’m going to show up in all of them.” Has Wealthy Paents Stack, son of extraordinarily wealthy parents, was afraid televiewers would blame him for misrepresenting his role in the hour-long adventure series. “The minute an audience is cheated they put the blame on the performer,” he explained- “ This has happened to other stars with severe consequences to their careers. “I realized it would be a mistake to devote less than all my attention and energy to the series.” In the past few years Bob was snagging 'the flashy, neurotic roles which most actors these days consider prime parts. Stack found them limited and unsatisfactory. 1

Well Shod WATERTOWN, Mass (UPI)— The average teen-age American girl accounts for an average purchase of seven pairs of shoes a year — nearly twice the national average for all persons, according to the B. F. Goodrich footwear division. An increasing portion of this 8175-million annual market is gong to casual shoes of the canvas4opped, rubber-soled type, a market survey by the company revealed. Lost Children WASHINGTON (UPI) Fatal—accidents take a yearly toll of about 4,700 children who are past their inancy but not yet of school age, reports the National Office of Vital Statistics. Plays Good Goy “It feels good to let the other gyy play the flash role,” he grinned. “In the series I play a ‘good guy,* and it seems to be making an impression on the public.” If Stack appears to be overzealous it’s only natural. He owns 25 per cent of the series through his Langford Productions; His canny entry into TV has upped his price for movies from 890,000 per picture to the 8100,000 bracket. “The best part of a TV series is the constant work,” Bob concluded. “In movies you make one picture, then sit around for a year. In TV you keep busy, all year long.”

Says Martian Moons Are Not Artificial ' By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPD — The im-agination-staggering theory of a Russian physicist that the two moons of Mars are artificial has been convincingly pooh-pooh by the distinguished American astronomer who was one of the discoverers of the planet Pluto. But anyone who enjoys having a staggered imagination can keep on haying one- To disprove the Russian theory factually requires a landing on a Martian moon which isn’t in the cards for anytime soon. And its author, Dr. I. S. Shklovsky has some Impressive technical evidence to back it. He met its implications headon. If the Martian moons are not natural, then somebody put them into the Martian sky. It had to have been done a long time ago because if Mars now supports life, it is the lowest kind of vegetable life. Shklovsky suggested it was done two or three thousand millions years ago when, he said, a “highly developed civilization” may have existed on Mars. He granted it would have had to be highly developed because Mar’s moons may weigh 100 million tons or more, which is more than 99 million times heavier than the heaviest satellite the Russians have orbited around the earth. “Astronautics,” the technical journal of the American Rocket Society, submitted Shklovsky’s theoretic reasoning to the scrutiny of Clyde W. Tombaugh of New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, a big man in planetary astronomy. Shklovsky’s principal point was based on the mathematic proof

that Phobos, the moon closest to Mars, is very slowly sinking toward the planet (and according to the calculations of Dr. Fred Whipple will crash into it about 60,000,000 years from now.) This is the same thing which happens to earth’s artifical satellites. Shklovsky examined various natural explanations for Phobos’ sinking behavior and rejected them, which left only the explanation that Phobos* density is very slight for its size. Ulis means “we have to assume Phobos is hollow inside,’” he said. No natural celestial body can be hollow; therefore, Mar’s moons are artificial- r I Tombaugh said there was one — — ■" ■ ■'■ 1 r-» '■ 1
