Ticket Sales Underway For Holiday Meet Early ticket sales for the holiday basketball tourney at Portland Saturday have been steadily on the upswing, according to the latest report from Cassie Strickler, Yellow Jacket cheerleader. To date, 25 tickets for the tourney have been sold as well as the same number for the student bus. Mrs. Kathryn Strickler and Mrs. Kathryn Mayclin have volunteered their services as chaperones for the bus, which leaves the Decatur gym Saturday at noon. Tickets Available Pupils are reminded to wear white to the tourney. The girls should be attired in white blouses or sweaters, while white shirts will suffice .for the boys. Tickets for the bus (25 cents' and the four tourney games ($1.50) can be purchased at Holthouse on the Highway, or from the cheerleaders, Sid Beery, Taya Erekson, Becky Maddox and Miss Strickler. Last year, 108 tickets were sold in Decatur for the contest at Bluffton, which the local shooters won for the second year in a row. This year at Portland, the job of taking it three years in a row looms rather difficult, to say the least. Only Hartford City has a record which is worse than the Jackets. Panthers Not Feared ’*'■ Portland has nothing to shout about either as its 3-5 record against nondescript competition puts it in Decatur’s class. Hartford City's 1-9 mark is not an indicator of its true strength either. The pithy competition of Fort Wayne North. Bluffton, New Castle, Huntington, Peru, Marion, and Elwood certainly turns a different light on the true picture. Howard Parkinson, sports editor cf the Hartford City paper, tells how Coach Dave McCracken boys could very well reach the finals of the tourney. John Rench. a 6-0 sophomore, and Dave Wagner, a 6-0 senior, both average more than 15 points a game, and the team averages between 60 and 70 points against real t ought opposi-. . tion. , ’ Decatur’s Paul Bevelhimer, must come up with some board men, or go through the season under that cloud of gloom lingering in his neighborhood right now. He finally has his backcourt men playing backcourt after the first few games, when all five boys thought they should attempt to rebound. As the scores indicated. this venture failed as the opposing teams fast-breaked themselves into tremendous leads. \ Tigers Have Talent Bluffton, which has a player with the potential of a Tom Bolyard, could have one of the best sectional teams in this part of Indiana. Whether this team will learn to play together is a matter of conjecture. In all-state football player Mike Milholland, 6-5 senior, the Tigers have a boy averaging 17.4, and who could double this with a better showing of desire and drive throughout an entire ball game. Two other boys, Bob Purkhiser and Ted Collins, are in the top 20 scorers in Wells county. Hockey Results National League Boston 4, New York 3. International League Fort Wayne 5, Toledo 1.

The finale in Los Angeles features a personal duel between California’s Darrall Imhoff and West Virginia’s Jerry West but the question in New York Is whether lowa can keep Oscar Robertson from running amok. California overcame a six-point deficit in the last minute and 35 seconds to win out eventually over Southern California, 65-61, in overtime. Imhoff scored a field goal and free throw in California's tying drive and then put the Bears ahead to stay, 63-61, with a layup in the overtime period.

Robertson scored a total of 72 points in Cincinnati’s first two victories and needs “only” 19 tonight to set a new Holiday Festival record. lowa, which upset previously unbeaten New York University in the semifinal round, is expected to throw up an unusual zone defense to contain Robertson. * North Carolina, ranked No. 11. is favored over Wake Forest in the title game of the Dixie Classic at Raleigh, N.C. The Tarheels rolled to a 16-point first-half lead and breezed to a 75-53 victory over Duke Tutsday night while Wake Forest beat Dayton, 61-50.

Weefc's Schedule For Adams County Basketball Teams Yellow Jackets in holiday tourney at Portland. NBA's All-Star Choices Announced NEW YORK (UPI) — Bob Pettit of the St. Louis Hawks, Bob Cousy of the Boston Celtics and Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors headed the 10-play-er group named today for the National Basketball Assn.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — There was a night last January when the crowd jammed into Madison Square Garden hooted Ron Delaney and showered the track with debris because the skinny Irishman loafed to victory without shooting at the four minute mile. It was not indicative of the year. & ■ For, in taking one last personal look backwards, Fearless Fraley can tell you today that it was a year, this fading 1959, which started with world record speed and ended even speedier. The hooting changed to rooting for Delany as he finally turned it on for a 4 01.4 indoor record and you helped with body english,'»too, as young John Thomas set a world high jump record. Then it was off for a cruise of the Caribbean with cock fighting in Haiti and just plain fighting in Cuba.

Wins With Mauler Back home for the Florida Derby and then still the strange feeling as only one club opened the baseball season in New York. The big thrill of having a deuce on Manassa Mauler as he won the Wood Memorial and returned $129.50. And then disconsolately watching him run eighth in the Preakness at old Pimlico. Enjoying Billy Casper’s U.S. Open win as guys like Toney Penna and Jimmy Thomson made it sunny in the Mamaroneck rain. Touring the Borscht circuit to watch the training antics of Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson. Then picking Ingo—and stunned by his right hand magic in Yankee Stadium—as he proved that even a blind pig can find an acorn once in a while. The All-Star game at Pittsburgh and white - toothed Willie Mays laughing over the triple that broke it up. Then the athletic cold war dramatics at Philadelphia’s Franklin Field, the typewriter washed out from under your hands as Russian decathlon star Vassily Kuznetsov stole the show in a dramatic bid for a world record in the downpour. Roots For Souchak Rooting for big Mike Souchak at Minneapolis as Bob Rosburg came on tp take the PGA by breaking little Jerry Barber’s heart. Cutting up old touches with ‘glowing Branch Rickey as he took on the leadership of the new Continental baseball league. Amazed at Neale Fraser’s newfound proficiency as he dominated the Forest Hills tennis show, sin-gle-handedly taking the Davis Cup and then the U.S. crown. The nightmare of travel for the National League playoff and on into the World Series. Maybe you wind up broke. But you’re satisfied.

Indiana Beats Louisville To Take Tourney United Press International lowa’s red-hot Hawkeyes will carry the Big Ten’s slightly tattered banner into the intersectional basketball wars tonight when it meets top-ranked Cincinnati for the Holiday Basketball Festival championship. The Hawkeyes nipped unbeaten New York University, 80-75, Monday night to advance to the finals of the New York tourney against Oscar Robertson and his Cincinnati mates, who were rated an eight-point favorite. While the lowans were surprising the East Coast experts, other Big Ten clubs were having their troubles against intersectional foes. Illini Top Wildcats Michigan lost its consolation game to Stanford, 59-52, in the Los Angeles basketball classic. Minnesota tumbled, 75-72, before Utah in the consolation round of the Dixie Classic tournament and Northwestern continued a disastrous western road trip by losing its Los Angeles consolation match to another Big Ten team, Illinois, 92-79.

Meanwhile, the powerful Indiana Hoosiers rolled over Louisville, 9071, to win the Bluegrass Festival at Louisville' and Purdue overcame a shaky first half to whip Montana State, 70-48. Big Walt Bellamy scored 24 points to pace Indiana as the Hoosiers drove to a 48-26 halftime 4ead and widened the gap to 30 points in the second half. Purdue, held to a 31-25 halftime lead, came on strong in the second half to turn the game into a rout. Terry Dischinger got 24 points for the Boilermakers. Stanford Handcuffs Miller Stanford held a constant, if narrow, margin over Mi chi ga n throughout the game. Guards John Arrillaga and Bub Bowling scored 19 and 12 points, respectively, to lead the winners, who held Michigan star Tefry Miller to only eight points. Stanford led at halftime 26-25. Illinois, led by Mannie Jackson’s 24 points, pulled to a 44-40 ■halftime gap over Northwestern, then coasted home over the hapless Wildcats, Willie Jones topped Northwestern with 17. points. Minnesota, trailing, 6646, in the early minutes of. the second half, suddenly came to life and cut Utah’s lead to 72-70 with a minute left, but three quick Redskin points iced the contest. The Gophers’ Ron Johnson led all scorers with 24 points. ,

Badgers Ease Off In Bowl Workouts PASADENA, Calif. (UPD-The University of Wisconsin football team held a conditioning workout Tuesday, with only the third and fourth units getting down to heavy contact. Coach Milt Bruhn indicated there would be no more intensified workouts before the New Year’s Day Rose Bowl classic. Bruhn said he was still undecided about a starting backfield and delayed nominating the unit that will start against Washington. In a 10-minute scrimmage of reserved Tuesday, the subs tried Washington plays against Wisconsin defenses. Bruhn, still somewhat dissatisfied about progress of his second unit, said the team may drill in the Rose Bowl Thursday. Details of the practice have not been worked out. vThe Washington Huskies are trow on the one-a-day practice schedule at Long Beach, Calif., and are sleeping a bit later in the morning. Contact work of any variety is out from now on, according to Coach Jim Owens. Most of today’s workout will be concerned with pass defense and any left over time will be spent ironing out plays. The coaching staff said that the squad was in fine shape, without even a Charlie horse to mar their New Year’s Day hopes in the clash with Wisconsin. i Furniture 1 Scratches or marks on dark oak ’ furniture can be removed by rub- ’ bing boiled linseed oil on the scratch, rubbing until it disapl pears.
