Minnesota Is _ Favorite To Beat Badgers CHICAGO (UPI) — Minnesota’s ponderous Gophers meet Wisconsin Saturday in a bid for their first share of a Big Ten football title since 1941, and despite their lack of speed, they were a touchdown favorite to triumph. The Gophers, fourth ranked nationally, also will be playing for a chance to get into the Rose Bowl, if the West Coast Big Five decides to choose a Big Ten team. The game will be televised regionally. Going into the final Saturday of the season, Minnesota and lowa, ranked third nationally, look like the only Big Ten challengers for a bowl berth and it wouldn’t be too surprising if one of them gets the bid. lowa ought to finish higher than Minnesota in the ratings, however, since the Haiwkeyes close the campaign against Notre Dame which has lost its last seven games after winning the opener. Both Minnesota and lowa now have 7-1 records. lowa also was a touchdown favorite. Minnesota, beaten for the first time this season on Purdue’s passing last week, face® another hot passing team in the Badgers, with Ron Miller ready to do the throwing. Thus lack of speed could be a handicap on pass defense unless the heavier Minnesota line can put pressure on Miller or his major reliever, John Fabry, all I the way. One factor which might help Minnesota, should both the Gophers and lowa win, in its bowl aspirations is that the Gophers never have gone to the bowl and always have opposed participation in it. One theory might be that K Mianatota should win. the school might change its position to favor annual Big Ten participation. Paradoxically, Minnesota would | accept a bowl bid. lowa also I would accept a bid and has played twice, and the Hawkeyes would be delighted for another chance to close Forest Evashevski’s career as coach. Next year he becomes fulltime athletic director of the school. There will be grudge battles in all other Big Ten games, but none can affect the championship. Ohio State was a touchdown favorite, at home, to down Michigan; Illinois, at Northwestern, was a one point choice; Purdue at home was a heavy choice over Indiana, and Michigan State was a big favorite over Detroit. South Bend Woman Beaten And Robbed SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) — A bandit beat and kicked Mrs. Amy Kekko, 60, and robbed her of SSOO today as she prepared to leave a .tavern to go to a bank. Mrs. Kekko told officers she had S9OO in another bag which the bandit missed as he struck her twice and kicked her before running out the front door.

Kokomo Picked As Pre Season State Favorite

By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Kokomo’s Wildcats, still looking for their first Indiana high school basketball championship, today were installed as the No. 1 challenger for East Chicago Washington’s crown. A cross-section survey by United Press International of coaches all around the state gave the veteran North Central Conference club of Joe Ptatt a majority vote of confidence. Kokomo, upset by Bluffton in the Fort Wayne semi-state tourney last March, drew 11 votes, virtually twice as many as its closest challenger. Indianapolis Manual and Fort Wayne Central were next, in that order, in the popularity poll, with 6 and 5 votes'. respectively. Platt, in his 11th season at Kokomo, has nine veterans left from last year for tonight’s home opener against Tipton. His top boys are Ronnie Hughes, a 6-1 shooter who led Kokomo in scoring with 445 points last year; 6-6 Jim Ligon and 6-5 Richie Scott. Muncie Central and New Castle were the only teams to beat the ’Cats last year during the regular season, and Platt was cautious, although optimistic about this season's outlook. Manual is “Loaded” “We have- some outstanding .personnel back from last year,” he said. ‘We could have a better team than last year and still not have as good a record...” Platt also should have more balance than the Jimmy (Shotgun) Rayl-led quintet two years ago which barged into the state tourney title game where it was blasted by Indianapolis Attacks, 92-54. Manual, a sectional tourney winner last year for the first time since 1923, got the call because 4 of 5 starters are back, includrangy twins Dick and Tom VonArsdale. And Fort Wayne’s Tigers, state tourney finalists last March, were picked prominently, apparently because coach Herb Banet has another balanced baUclub, although three of his first six players have graduated. Other teaml tabbed by the experts to watch included Elkhart, Jeffersonville, Attacks, Gary Roosevelt and Froebel, and Muncie Central. The latter missed a his-tory-making fifth state title when its Bearcats were upset by East Chicago’s Senators in the payoff scrap, 75-59. Attacks was a heavy favorite for the crown at this stage last year but the Tigers didn’t survive the crowded Indianapolis sectional. But the experts didn't miss on Muncie and East Chicago, their next two ‘‘winter book” selections. More Predictions The coaches also took a reading on the impending major conference warfare and singled out the following teams to watch: Central Conference — Elwood, Muncie Burris, Alexandria, Peru. South Central — Jeffersonville, Columbus, Seymour, Southport. North Central—Kokomo, Muncie Central, Logansport, Frankfort. Western— Brazil. Gerstmeyer and Garfield of Terre Haute. Southern — Jasper, Evansville Central, New Albany, Evansville Reitz, Washington. , East NlHSC—Michigan City, Elkhart, Fort Wayne North, Goshen, and Adams, Central and Washington of South Bend. West NIHSC—Gary Froebel, East Chicago Washington, Hammond Clark, , Hammond, Gary Toleston. ’ Other “area” toughies chosen included Fort Wayne South, Madison, Clarksville Providence, Evansville Lincoln, Fort Branch, Tell City, and Bluffton.

American Loop Sets Up Plans For New Teams NEW YORK (UPI)—It was two down and two to go today for the American League which went into session for a second straight day in an effort to complete its plans for expansion into a 10-team circuit by 1961. Already cleared after a hectic session which started at 10 a.m., EST, Thursday and ended well past the dinner hour, were the awarding of the new Washington franchise to a syndicate headed by Gen. Elwood R. (Pete) Quesada, administrator of the Federal Aviation Agency, and an elaborate plan to stock the league’s two newest members with players from the existing eight clubs. Today, the club owners will listen to bids for the new Los Angeles franchise and then attempt to either amend baseball’s Rule One-C or agree on a plan for its circumvention which would be acceptable to Baseball Commissioner Ford Frick. Frick warned both the National and American leagues a couple of days ago that he would not tolerate new franchises in cities where a major league club already is in operation, citing Rule One-C which states that a unanimous vote must be had before a franchise can be awarded to a city where one already exists. The rule thus applies to Los Angeles, where the AL is seeking to place a team, and New York, where the NL hopes to have a team in 1962. Webb Defies Frick Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees and chairman of the AL’s Expansion Committee, has been the most outspoken clubowner in defiance of Frick’s interpretation of the rules. "I don't feel this is any of the commissioner's business,” said Webb. “I feel he should pass judgment only after we have submitted our* complete package to him.” According to AL president Joe Cronin, Hank Greenberg, who holds a substantial share of stock in the Chicago White Sox, definitely is out of the bidding for the new Los Angeles franchise. “We have several people interested in a Los Angeles American League franchise.” Cronin said, “and none of them now are associated with American League clubs.” C. Arnholt Smith, wealthy San Diego businessman and an owner of the San Diego Padres of the Pacific Coast League, is believed to be one of the leading figures in the bidding for the Los Angeles franchise. His syndicate includes his brother, J.A. Smith, and according to some reports, Greenberg and Ralph Kiner, general manager of the Padres. Wins In Bidding Quesada’s group won out in the bidding for the Washington franchise after the club ownqps had listened to two other groups—one headed by Admiral John J. Bergen of Madison Square Garden and the Graham-Paige Co., and attorney Edward Bennett Williams speaking for another Washington group. “After much consideration and consultation,” Cronin said, "the Washington franchise was awarded to the Quesada group.” Quesada identified members of his group as auto distributor Floyd Akers; former Ambassador to Ireland George Garrett; president George Bunker of the Martin Aircraft Co.; real estate man Gustave Ring; Robert Rodeoberg, former owner of the Baltimore Colts football club of the defunct All-America Conference, and Garfield Kass, another real estate man, all of Washington, and others to be named later. Quesada will continue in his government position until Jan. 20 and will take over control of the club at that time. Speaking at the National Press Club earlier in the day, Quesada, when asked if Vice President Richard M. Nixon would be included in his group, answered. “I can't think of a better partner.” How Plan Works Here is now the owners voted to stock the two new franchises with players: —Each team must present a list of 15 players by noon today from which Washington and Los Angeles can choose. Seven of the players must have been on the active roster as of Aug. 31, 1960. and all must have been on the 40-rnan rosters when they were frozen by Frick on Nov. 7. —Each club will lose seven players for a total of 56 to be evenly divided between the two new clubs. —Lots will be drawn by the

Basketball Awards From Booster Club Decatur high school Booster Club president Ray Eichenauer announced this morning, the plan for Booster club awards for the basketball season which opens tonight. Eichenauer explained that a committee met with head coach Paul Bevelhimer this week and they have decided to name a most valuable player after each game—however, the winners will be kept secret until the end of the season. At that time, the most valuable player for the entire year, based on the selections kept secret after every game, will be announced and awarded a trophy for his work. The MVP award will be based on five main points of a good basketball player. The five points are: attitude, defense, rebounding, team play (assists) and allaround effort. A second trophy will also be awarded at the end of the season for the ball player who pulls down the most rebounds over the course of the schedule. Fire Breaks Out In Hotel At Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (UPI) — Fire broke out in the Penn-Sheraton Hotel early this morning, routing 118 girl students from their rooms on the 21st floor of the building. No one was reported injured. Fire officials said the blaze erupted in a grease duct in a grill located in the basement of the 1,600-room hotel, the city’s largest. Flames and heavy smoke, forced up the duct, shot high in the air over the structure. Battalion Chief John Brickley said the radiation of heat set fire to a storage room on the 19th floor but the flames were estinguished in about 15 minutes. The girls, some of them panicky and red-eyed from the smoke, were moved to quarters on the fourth floor by firemen and hotel officials. As thick clouds of smoke filled the corridors, Mrs. Frances Colter, the house mother for the students, kept shouting, ‘Take care of my girls.” Mrs. Colfer was in tears. Eight companies answered the two-alarm fire and continued searching the building for any further breakouts for two hours after the fire erupted at 1 a.m., EST. At aibout 330 a.m., the smoke had practically cleared from the top floors and the girls, reassured by firemen that everything was under control, returned to their quarters on the 21st floor. The top three Coors of the hotel are used for storage. The girls are studehts at the, Robert Morris School for Business, located a few blocks from new clubs to see which will get first pick. One team will take four men and the other three and then they will alternate until they have drawn 28 players each. Ten of the players must be pitchers, two catchers, six infielders, apd four outfielders with each one costing $75,000. The clubs will have until Nov. 20 to select their 28 players for a total investment of $2400,000. —The two new clubs will get two draft selections from the minor leagues after the regular player draft at Louisville, Nov. 28. No first year man can be taken and no more than one from any one club at a cost of $25,000 per man. —Each of the new teams will be permitted to pick one more | player from each AL club’s farm system for the usual selection price of $25,000, thus making for a roster of 36.
