Attucks Hands Chy Foe Tech First Defeat INDIANAPOLIS (UP!) — Who Said the champs are dead? Defending state titlist Indianapolis Attucks came to life with a vengeance in the final minutes Wednesday night to spill city foe Tech from the ranks of unbeaten high school basketball clubs, 49-46. * In a thriller in cliff-hanger fashion before about 7,500 screaming Butler Fieldhouse fans, the Flying Tigers trailed at every stop, but took the lead with 2 12 remaining and hung on. Bill Jones, Attucks’ 6-8 junior center who went to Tech in his freshman year, was the hero of the hour.

Tech, dropping its fifth straight game to its city rival, led 13-10, 31-21 and 38-34 at the stops.

Big Balloon Falls In Mississippi Woods FULTON, Miss. (UPI) — The world’s largest balloon fell to earth in the woods near here today after a three-day maiden flight from Rapid City, S.D. The unmanned balloon, part of a series of cosmic ray exploration flights, had been missing since Wednesday, covered a hillside “like a huge blanket” when it floated down. It was first spotted by Phillip A. Sheffield Jr., son of President Pluliip Sheffield of Itawamba Junior College here. Winzen Research Inc , Minneapolis, Minn., said the LBOO pound payload of the huge balloon was intact. The balloon itself is taller than a 31-story building and has a capacity of 10 million cubic feet of gas. The balloon came to earth about 200 yards from the home of Mrs. Rote Moore with whom young Sheffield was staying. He called his father who sent sheriff’s deputies to guard the craft until it could be carried to a National Guard armory. The balloon, launched Monday near Rapid City, was seen early today near Winnfield, La. A Navy tracking plane which had been keeping track of its force had been forced by. bad. we ath e r Wednesday to land. The balloon payload was to have been released automaticaly and float down by parachute.

Air Force Training Plan Established An officers training school program has been established so that college graduates who meet the needs and standards set up by the Air Force may receive commissions as Air Force officers. T/Sgt. Robert A. Cobble, local Air Force recruiter, says that many colleges do not have an Air Force ROTC program, thus denying many qualified young men an i opportunity to receive a commission. Therefore, the OTS program opens up new vistas for young men interetsed in a military career. If accepted, an applicant will be notified and sent to Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, for three months of officer training. On successful completion of the course, he will be commissioned into the Air Force as a second lieutenant. , Sgt. Cobble added that the officers training school program should not be confused with the officer candidate school, and that all persons interested in officers training school program should contact the Air Force recruiting office located at 306 West Berry street, Fort Wayne. Sgt. Cobble is at the selective service office in Decatur from 1 to 3 p.m. the first and third Monday of each month. i .

Armstrong Is Upset Winner Over Ellis CAMDEN, N.J. (UPI) — Gen* (Ace) Armstrong of Elizabeth* N.J., said today he wants Spider Webb or Gene Fulmer after his upset decision over promising Rudy Ellis of Chicago in a Kiround nationally televised middleweight bout here. Armstrong, 155*6, snapped the 22-year-old Elliss’ eight-bout winning streak by beating the Windy City knockout artist to the punch and getting the better of almost every inside exchange. Ellis, 156, couldn’t cope with the 27-year-old Armstrong’s fast moving attack and was never able to land solidly with the vaunted right hand that has figured in 10 knockouts in compiling a 17-3-1 log. Armstrong was in command from the outset, piling up an early lead while Ellis kept looking for and opening for the big one.
