Indiana Beats Irish, Butler . Downs Purdue INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lndiana, home safely with its fourth Hoosier Classic “championship’* in eight years, got a brief respite from college basktbeall warfare today before eyeing its second holiday shindig — the Bluegrass Festival at Louisville. The Hoosiers, No, 10 in the nation. overpowered Notre Dame with a blistering second-half fast break Wednesday night. 71-00, to run their season record to 6-1, including five straight. Butler's Bulldogs grabbed “consolation" honors and a split in the two-night show that drew more than 20.000 fans by handing Purdue an 82-79 setback Towering Walt Bellamy and two hurry-up guards, Herbie Lee and Jerry Bass, ignited the spark for the Hoosiers in the climatic game that broke previously once-beaten Notre Dame’s six-game winning streak. Lee’s 25-foot jump shot broke the 10th deadlock early in the second half and the Hoosiers pulled away slowly. In the first half, however, Bellamy couldn’t “buy” a point and beefy Mike Graney and John Dearie powered the Irish to a 37-32 halftime lead. Graney, a hookshot artist, topped the scoring with 21 points. Dearie caged 14. Lee and Frank Radovi<?h led Indiana with 16. Purdue became Butler’s third Big Ten victim of the season, but the Bulldogs had to stave off a last-litch rally in the final minutes after blowing a 41-21 lead. Purdue went the first five minutes without a field goal, but tossed in 11 straight points, most of I them by Terry Dischinger, just before the half ended to trail 45-34 at the intermission. Dischinger, whose 29 points were high for the night, Darrell McQuitty and Tim McGinley twice narrowed Butler’s lead to two points, but the host club refused to become rattled. Ken Pennington, who helped himself to a Classic careeer scoring record of 110 points in three years, led Butler with 21 markers. Disk Haffner had !«■,.-Orville Bewt 15. The old Classic mark of 103 was set by Notre Dame's Leroy Leslie between 1949 and 1951. While Notre Dame and Butler split even, Purdue wound up as the loser after gaining the unofficial championship last year. The Boilermakers were hurt by the absence of sparkplug Bobby OrriU, who fractured his left hand against Notre Dame Tuesday night and is out of action about three weeks. Purdue coach Ray Eddy indicated that McGinley, who played a smooth floor game and chipped in nine points, may have earned himself a starting berth. Indiana lived up to its press notices, with an explosive secondhalf performance, but coach Branch McCracken still wasn’t set on a starting line-up for the Big Ten campaign. He used a dozen players and shuffled his starters numerous times. Louisville was expected to provide the Hoosiers’ stiffest competition in the Bluegrass Festival, with Maryland and Fordham the other guests. High School Basketball New Haven 71, Angola 53.

Hart weighed 152tfe. The triumph was Rodrigues's 26th straight, not counting one no-decision match in Cuba.

X Top College Stars In Bowl Tilts Saturday By GARY KALE United Press International All - Americans Richie Lucas, Bill Burrell and. Bill Carpenter head a host of top college football stars appearing in Saturday’s three big bowl games — the Copper Bowl, North-South and BlueGray. Lucas of Penn State and Illinois Burrell lead a team of National All-Stars against a Southwest squad in the Copper classic at Phoenix, Ariz. Carpenter, Army’s “lonely end,” heads a North team in the Shrine • game with the South at Miami and Dwight Nichols of lowa State, a third team All-American, tries to lead the Blue to a repeat victory over the Rebels at Montgomery, Ala. Hope For Rato :. Rip Engle and ■ Don Clark of Southern California; co-coaches for the National AlStars. are hoping a prediction of rain is correct, for their offense is more adapted to slippery going than the Southwest attack engineered by coaches Ben Martin of the Air Force and Frank Kush of Arizona State. Lucas, who suffered a hip injury in Penn State’s victory over Alabama in last Saturday’s Liberty Bowl, may be relegated to defensive chores for the nationally televised contest (CBS) beginning at 3:30 p.m. e.s.t. In Miami's Shrine game, the West Point passing combination of Joe Caldwell and Carpenter will seek to reverse last year’s victory by the South. Dale Hall, Army coach and northern mentor, also can call on Pete Hall of Marquette, the nation’s third leading passer with a 50.6 percentage, Ed Kovac of Cincinnati and Don Horn of lowa. Tranchini Leads South Wade Walker qf Mississippi State, the South's head coach, hopes for another peak passing performance by Joe Tranchini of Navy similar to the one that overwhelmed Army in NovemberThe Blue-Gray game, to be nationally televised in color for the first time (NBC, 2 p,m. e.s.t.), will present two equally-balanced teams for the 22nd renewal of the classic.

Purdue Given Green Light On Experiment WASHINGTON (UPD— Purdue University had the green light from the Federal Communications Commission tdUay to go ahead I with, an experiment in “stratovision*c which is designed to bring educational television to students in six states. The experiment, to begin next falL involves a television relay by a DC-7 airplane circling 23,000 , feet above Montpelier, Ind. The ( plane will receive signals from , four transmitters on the Purdue ■ campus at Lafayette, Ind., and re- I transmit them to five million students in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Wisconsin. The area to be covered is 34,000 square miles, a radius of 150 to 200 miles from Montpelier. The FCC said the experiment, which will cost seven million dollars, will use four UHF channels to direct simultaneously two separate programs to the plane, which will be flying in a 10-mile circle. The plane will retransmit the programs to UHF receivers in ' ■ ' - One of Ute. programs wil be transmitted by standard band and the other by naijow band for comparative purposes Ten schools will be equipped with both standard and narrow-band receivers to make comparisons. The university, using Ford Foundation and other funds for the experiment. said the test area was selected because it has more than five million students in more than 13,000 schools. The experiment is designed to test the value of reaching hundreds of thousands of students at one time. If you have somethin" to seD or moms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad — They bring results

Hand Signals To Be Used By Coifs Sunday By EARL WRIGHT United Press International Jim Lee Howell, a normally* good-humored football coach who Shines Casey Stengel’s chair every fall at Yankee Stadium, said today hand signals are strictly from baseball and should*remain there. Howell’s Giants play Coach Weeb Ewbank’s Colts at Baltimore Sunday for the National Football League championship. Ewbank fears Baltimore's fans will make so much r.oise that his players won’t be «ule to hear quarterback John Unitas call signals. The Colts’ head coach has Unitas learning a set of hand signals, similar to those employed ’by baseball coaches to transmit orders to batsmen and base runners. Ewbank plans to have Unitas use his wig-wag system to transmit directions to ends, .and flanker backs when he changes a play at the scrimmage line and is unable to make himself heard over the roar of the crowd. Howell, whose team figures to have a bigger crowd noise problem than the Colts at Memorial Stadium, took a dim view of the whole idea. “We’re going to try to be ready for anything but we’ve got to hear our signals,” Howell said- “You can’t run your whole attack with hand signals. “The Colts want to play the best game they can and so do we. The fans should cooperate so they can see a good game — whether it’s played in Baltimore, New York or any other place.” Austin Gunsel, acting league commissioner, has recognised the possibility that the crowd may get out of hand Sunday. He has issued a directive ordering game officials to halt play if the fans run amok. In case of a fan outburst such as marked the recent Giants-Cleve-land Browns game, the officials have been told to send both teams to their dressing rooms. While the Giants practiced inside for about an hour and a half Wednesday, Ewbank sent his Colts through a two-hour drill in 25 - degree weather at Memorial Stadium. The Colts concentrated on polishing offensive plays, including several new bneSj,
