Colleges Open Tourney Grind This Evening By TIM MORIARTY United Press International College basketball's holiday tournament grind opens Friday night with a dandy party at Lexington,Ky., that has attracted three of the nation’s top-ranked I teams. The opening round phirings in the annual University of Kentucky invitational match third - ranked West Virginia (8-0) against sixthranked St. Louis (5-1) and fifthranked North Carolina (3-0) against the host Wildcats (3-2). Kentucky dropped out of the top 10 after losing two of its first four games and currently is ranked 13th among the major colleges. However, the Wildcats always are tough to handle in their own tournament, which they won last season for the fourth time in six years. Expect Scoring Duel The West Virginia-St. Louis opener is expected to develop into a scoring duel between AllAmerica Jerry West of th Mountaineers and Bob Nordmann, the Billikens’ 6-10, 270-pound center. West Virginia, which lost to California in the title round of the NCAA tournament last season, hasn’t been extended thus far in the new campaign, winning its first six games by margins ranging from 15 to 30 points St. Louis was knocked off by second-ranked Ohio State after winning its first three games but the Billikens rebounded with an upset victory over Kentucky last week end and should prove troublesome for the Mountaineers. Four other members of the UPI top 10 also will be in action tonight. Ohio State visits Butler, fourth - ranked California entertains Colorado, eighth - ranked Bradley hosts Boston University, and Kansas entertains San Francisco.

Penn Stale Ani Alabama Play Liberty Bowl PHILADELPHIA (UPl)—Penn State, an Eastern powerhouse which stumbled twice, and Alabama, which rose from an opening defeat to prance unbeaten through its last nine games, smoothed out the final wrinkles today for their clash in the Liberty Bowl game Saturday. The meeting between the Nittany Lions, powered by AllAmerican Richie Lucas, and the defense-minded ’Bamans in the East’s first major NCAA approved post-season game will be nationally-televised on NBC starting at 12:45 p.m. e.s.t. It will mark Alabama’s 13th bowl appearance dating back to the Rose Bowl in 1926, and Penn State's third bowl game. May Have Rain The promoters were hopeful for a crowd of 40,000 in the vast Philadelphia Stadium which seats 98,614, but which only the ArmyNavy game fills. The long range weather forecast in an area where, sub-freezing temperatures wouldn’t surprise was cloudy and fairly mild, with a risk of rain. ’ Both teams came to town Thursday — the Crimson Tide at mid-day in time for a workout in the stadium, and Penn State late Thursday night after a day drill on its campus. Each planned* a loosening drill todayA hopeful Paul (Bear) Bryant Os Alabama, and a gloomshrouded Rip Engle of Penn State, looked forward to ‘‘quite a game” in the pre-Christmas bowl venture in the NORTH. Hint At Surprises Each hinted “surprises.” Penn State could come up with anything, having used practically every offense but the single wing during the season. Defense minded Alabama, a low scoring unit, also had some plotting. “I hope to have a new wrinkle or two, and I expect they will too,” Bryant said. "But, if I did have, I wouldn’t tell you.” Engle insisted all week he was ■worried over State's mental attitude because there was a letdown following Pitt’s startling upset of the Lions "and it s been hard getting the boys up since that time.” First City Series Game Monday Night The f test city series' game for the grade school championship of Decatur will be held at the Lincoln school gym Monday evening. As a preliminary, the Decatur freshmen will ■ meet Huntington at p.m., followed by the city series opener between Decatur Junior Jackets and the St. Joseph Pirates.

Eight Big 10 Teams In Action Saturday CHICAGO (UPI) — Eight Big Ten basketball teams, including unbeaten Illinois, meet non-con-ference opposition Saturday night. The Illini, who have beaten Butler, Western Kentucky and Marquette , try for their fourth straight as hosts to Ohio University. Indiana, sporting a 3-1 record, has a tough assignment on its home floor when Detroit, an 87-63 victor over Purdue, moves in. liowa, which breezed to four straight wins before losing, 76-68. to Colorado Monday night, will entertain Oklahoma, and Michigan State will continue its tour westward with a stop at Wyoming.

Federal Jury Deliberating Apalachin Case NEW YORK (UPI) — A federal jury deliberated nearly nine hours Thursday night whether 20 men, all of Italian ancestry, were guilty of a conspiracy to keep secret the purpose of a mass’ gathering two years ago at Apalachin, N.Y The jury was locked up for the night after failing to reach a verdict. The deliberations will continue today. The 20 are on trial on charges they conspired to keep federal officials in the dark about the purpose of the meting which the government claims was a gathering of underworld leaders. Those visiting the upstate New York home of Joseph Barbara Sr. in November, 1957, have claimed they were visiting a sick friend and stayed for a barbecue. Startle State Police Sixty-three from as far away as Cuba, California and Florida turned up. Among them they accounted "tor police records .-totaling 153 arrests , and 74 convictions. u The influx of big, shiny limousines in the tiny hamlet of Apalachin startled state police. Sgt. Edgar Croswell, one of the main witnesses at the trial, called in federal agents, set up roadblocks and moved in on the Barbara home. Some guests fled on foot through the fields. Others tried to leave by car. All were apprehended by police and questioned. They all gave the same answer and not one has changed his story sine: Barbara — who later died — was ill and they were visiting him. Some told of helping cook steaks; • . Cites Race Issue In his charge to the jury, Federal Judge Irving Kaufman said if the jurors were not satisfied that a conspiracy to obstruct justice existed, they must acquit aU 20. He said he was pained that defense ’ dawyers had raised as an issue a claim that the men were being prosecuted because all were Italian- “Do not render a verdict because of race or creed.” Kaufman said.

Texas Christian Is Favored To Beat Clemson HOUSTON, Tex. (UPl)—Texas Christian University and the Clemson Tigers, with 16 previous bowl games between them, square off here Saturday in the first annual Bluebonnet Bowl game. ■the Horned Frogs rule an eight-point pick to make Clemson their fifth post-season victim. The Frogs have won four and tied one game in 10 previous bowl assignments. The Tigers, champions of thp Atlantic Coast Conference, have split their six previous bowl games Both teams played in bowl games last New Year’s Day, wtih TCU and the Air Force Academy battling to a 0-0 tie in the Cotton Bowl and Clemson dropping a 7-0 decision to Louisiana State in the Sugar Bowl. A near-capacity crowd is expected to jam into the 70,000-seat Rice Stadium for the game. On paper, the game seems to be a tossup. Both teams finished the season with 8-2 records, both won or shared in their conference titles, and both are basically defensive teams sporting huge lines. Texas Christian, primarily a running club, will put its hops 1 on the bulling rushes of All-South-west Conference fullback Jack Spikes and the breakaway threat of 165-pound halfback Harry (The Hare) Moreland. Clemson’s chief offensive threat is the right arm of passing wizard Harvey White, holder of three ! all-time Tiger throwing records.

Albert Steinwedel Formally In Race INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — State Auditor Albert Steinwedel today announced formally his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor of Indiana. The announcement came as no Surprise. Steinwedel has been traveling around the state for months drumming up support for his candidacy. In his announcement, Steinwedel said he would “not be dictated to by any political bosses or factions, or special interest groups. My prime concern as governor will. be the interest of the party and its loyal members in their contri-[ bution to a financially sound and) well managed state.” A ‘‘The 1958 campaign demonstrated that the voters of the state would react favorably to tell-all, aggressive electioneering," the Seymour Democrat said. “This election also proved that the voters could accept and support a candidate who clearly defined the issues without fence straddling.” Steinwedel, 37, noted that his nomination depends on the Democratic convention delegates who will name the party’s candidates next June. “To the Democrats who will be ’ selected as delegates to this con-' vention I pledge clearly to state [ my position on every issue as a [Democratic candidate instead of a ‘candidate carrying water on both I snoulders as a Demo - Republico [hopeful,” Steinwedel said. “The 'principles which will guide my campaign are those of Thomas Jeferson and Andrew Jackson.” Steinwedel attended Seymour High School where he captained both the football and basketball teams. His schooling at Indiana University was interrupted by World War II when he served three years in the Army. He obtained his degree from IU in 1946. Married and the father of two children, Steinwedel lost out in his first bid for public office when he was defeated for state treasurer in 1956. The “Steinwedel for Governor Committee” is headed by John Isaacs, Seymour mayor. Other members of the committee include Rep. Earl Hogan, Ninth District Democratic chairman Jack Stacy, and vice chairman Hazel Byram. Sen.*""Matthew E. Welsh. Vincennes, is the present front-run-ner in the Democratic gubernatorial sweepstakes. Others eyeing the nomination include Secretary of State John Walsh, Anderson; Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker; Roger-D. Branigin, Lafayette; Bloomington Mayor Thomas Lem- | on, ancf -Sen.

Seek Clues To Assassins Os Roger Touhy CHICAGO (UPI) — Homicide detectives today pored over massive files of Chicago's underworld history and searched the littered basement of a home for clues to the assassins of mobster Roger Touhy. But the investigation, one of the ■ most intensive in a long line of [gangland slaying probes, had repealed little more than that the 161-year-old Prohibition beer baron could have been slain by organization mobsters or someone who held a personal grudge. Federal investigators contended that Touhy and his bodyguard, Walter Miller. 62, were gunned down Wednesday night by the Mafia, international crime organization, to "seal their lips forever.” But the Chicago police investigation proceeded on the assumption that either hoodlums from Touhy’s underworld past or gunmen of Chicago’s current crime syndicate blasted the pair with shotguns. Miler, a longtime friend of ’Touhy and a defense witness at his parole hearings, remained in critical condition at a hospital with shotgun pellets in his legs, i buttocks an cl back. Investigators’ best clue so far [ was the finding of a basement ; hideout across the street from the ■ home where Touhy had been living since his parole from prison r only 23 days before he was shot. 1 Police believe the killers kept 1 watch over the home of Mrs. 1 Ethel Alesia, Touhy’s sister, for (perhaps 10 days, watching 1 Touhy’s comings and goings to - determine when best to cut him • down. Two gunmen apparently hid out ’ behind the hedges near the Alesia 1 home Wednesday night, police 1 said, and ambushed Touhy and ' Miller shortly after 10 p.m. as they returned from a business en- . gagement in the Ixxjp. j A retired rabbi, Harry Zinn. 70, . owner of the building in which , the "lookout” basement was lo- > cated, told police he found a strange man there ope day last week Pm ; Boston 137, New ‘ if — 4 ..
