Texas Tech In Tie For Lead In Conference By United Press International Texas Tech, spoilers in the Southwest Conference last season, are in the thick of the battle this year even though they’re only playing .500 ball for the season. The Red Raiders frpm Lubbock moved into a tie for first place in the league standings with Texas by defeating Texas Christian, 89-75, Wednesday night. Southern Methodist, also lightly-regarded in pre-season speculation, improved its position with a Southwest Conference victory over Rice, 65-63. Del Ray Mounts and Jan Loudermilk —a couple of juniors—supplied the winning punch for the winners. Mounts, the 5-10, 155pound floor leader for Texas Tech led the Raiders' second half surge and finished with 26 points. Loudermilk, who stands 6-6, poured in 27 points as SMU had to rally in the second haU. tp. down the Owls. Boosts Tech’s Record The triumph boosted Texas Tech’s record for the season to 7-7, but in the WC the Raiders stand 4-1, along with defending champion Texas. Polk Robison’s eagers finished strongly last season with four straight victories and knocked Texas A&M and SMU out of a chance for the title. The Red Raiders, however, are starting early this season. They led all the way in handing TCU its fourth league loss in five starts. Mounts, who led the SWC in scoring as a sophomore, tossed in four straight baskets in the second half and put the game out of reach for the Horned Frogs. Mounts got some help from 6-9 soph Harold Hudgens, who chipped in 25 points. Johnny Fowler led the losers with 17. Southern Methodist registered its third conference victory against two defeats in downing Rice, now 2-3. The Mustangs, who hit only five field goals in the first half, went ahead to stay at 40-39 with 8:52 left to play in the game. Louisville Wins 16th Jn other games on Wednesday’s light schedule, sev e n t h-ranked Louisville, behind John Turner's 25 points and 19 rebounds, downed Tampa, 103-74. It was the Cardinals 16th triumph in 18 games. Also, Bowling Green upset Loyola of Chicago, 66-65. despite 28 points by the Ramblers’ Gerry Harkness: Guy Guydon’s set shot at the buzzer earned Drake an 83-81 success over lowa State in a non-conference game; Yale beat Boston College, 69-65: Army walloped Colgate, 90-66: Loyola of Los Angeles tripped San Francisco, 64-57; Oklahoma St. defeated Missouri. 61-55, and Memphis State downed Tennessee Tech, 83-70. Former Valparaiso Back Joins Redskins WASHINGTON (UPD — The Washington Redskins have added former Valparaiso University fullback Donald Martis to their roster for the 1961 National Football League season. The 210-pounder who also plays halfback was signed as a free sigent Wednesday.

Montpelier at Berne. Geneva at Huntington Catholic. Saturday Elmhurst at Yellow Jackets. Monmouth at Hartford. Ohio Stale Leading Big Ten Statistics CHICAGO (UPD — Defending champion Ohio State, the only team still unbeaten in Big Ten basketball competition, threatened today to take over every statistical honor in the league. The Buckeyes, nearly at the mid-point of the season, led in scoring with 87.4 points per game, in defense, allowing only 59.2 points per game, and in shooting from the field, 46.6 per cent, and thje foul line, 82 per cent.

If he wins next week, he will fight the following Wednesday for the championship. Only Six Teams In State Now Unbeaten INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Ireland's first defeat of the season today reduced the ranks of Indiana’s unbeaten high school basketball clubs to half a dozen. The Jasper area quintet absorbed its first loss in 17 starts Wednesday night against Dubois, 52-48. Leading the perfect - record crews is Union Twp. (LaPorte Co. i with a 19-game string. Royerton has won 18 without a miss, high-ranking Kokomo. Indianapolis Attacks and Lawrenceburg own 16-game strings, and Madison is a 15-game winner.

A's, Orioles Buy Players From Dodgers By FRED DOWN United Press International The Kansas City Athletics solved their catching problem and the Baltimore Orioles may have solved part of their power problem in separate deals with the Los Angeles Dodgers. “I now feel much better about our catching staff,” said General Manager Frank Lane after the Athletics purchased Joe Pignatano to relieve one of their most pressing needs. Pignatano, 31, is rated among the strongest throwing catchers in either league. In 58 games with the Dodgers last season, Pignatano batted .233. The Orioles, who think they can win the 1961 American League pennant if they get more punch into their attack, acquired exStanford star Chuck Essegian, a Dodger hero in the 1959 Series. Essegian connected for two pinch homers against the White Sox but last season batted only .215 in 52 games for the Dodgers. Angels Acquire Morgan The Los Angeles Angels also swung a deal with the Minnesota ■ Twins to acquire 30-year-old right-: hander Tom Morgan. A 200-pound native Californian, Morgan had a 4-5 record with the Washington Senators last season. He is the 14th pitcher on the Angels’ spring roster. General Manager Buzzie Bavasi announced the signing of infielder | Jim Gilliam and said the Dodgers now have 18 players signed. Gil- ’ liam led the Dodgers in runs scored and walks in 1960. ! Bob Skinner, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ rangy r outfielder who hit ■ .273 in 145 games last season, agreed to terms for the 1961 season after a telephone conversation with General Manager Joe L. Brown. Skinner, the 14th Pirate to sign for .’6l, told Brown from his San Diego, Calif., home that he is in good condition and has been working out daily for the past month. “I’m looking forward to the 1961 season with lots of enthusiasm.” Skinner told Brown. There was plenty of action on other contract-signing fronts Wednesday as: —The New York Yankees signed catchers John Blanchard and Jesse Gonder, bringing their satisfied list to 10. Blanchard hit .242 in 53 games for New York and Gonder batted .327 for Richmond in the International League in 1960. Braves Sign Spangler —The Milwaukee Braves signed 27-year-old outfielder Al Spangler, who hit .267 in 101 games last year. —The St. Louis Cardinals brought their satisfied list to 29 with the signing of shortstop Daryl Spencer. —The San Francisco Giants announced the signing of right-hand-ed pitchers Jim Duffalo, Dick Denton and Ray Feldman. The Giants have signed a total of 17 players. —The Cleveland Indians signed third-baseman Bubba* Phillips and rookie pitcher Bob Allen. Phillips' hit .207 for Cleveland last season while Allen had a 16-11 record for Mobile in the Southern Association. The Washington Senators brought their satisfied list to 23 players with the signing of pitchers Carl Mathias and Joe McClain, infielders John Schajee and‘Jim Mahoney and catcher Gene Green. Fox Hunt Planned Saturday Morning A fox hunt will be held Saturday morning, with any Adams county resident invited to participate. The hunters will meet at the courthouse Saturday at 8 a.m., leaving for the hunt about 8:30. Transportation will be provided to anyone who can make it to the courthouse.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. UJB. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International MIAMI (UPD—The most startling development In fistic history was provoked today by the impending Floyd Patterson-Ingemar Johansson heavyweight title fight when the “eye” announced that he was coming out of retirement. Benny (Evil Eye) Finkel, known to the fight mob merely as “The Eye,” chucked it all some years back. He abandoned his specialty of putting the hex on rival fighters for a life in the Florida sun. But a “defeat” of 23 years standing and a chance to even the score with Jimmy (Black Magic) Grippo has ‘enticed him to once again exercise his paralyzing powers in the interest of the Swedish challenger. Grippo his old antagonist, previously had asserted that he “felt the call” to work in this newest “battle of the century” in the interests of Patterson. Challenge to "Eye” This to “The Eye” was like waving a cerise banner in front of El Toro; wearing an orange tie in the St. Patrick’s Day parade; daring Oscar of the Waldorf to create a salad or Interceding in a spat between a husband and wife. For, back in 1938, the “Eye” was a potent punching force managed by Lou Diamond, “the honest brakeman," so known because he never stole a box car. The honest brakeman signed up “The Eye” to work his legerdemain in the comer of the Tiger Jack Fox in a celebrated fistic encounter against Melio Bettina. Bettina was managed by "Black Magic” Grippo and, as the fates would have it, Evil Eye’s whammy was in some manner counteracted by Grippo and Bettina won the bout. Evil Eye was crushed. Sure, he had an excuse. “I wasn’t paid,” he announced with great dignity. “So I didn’t feel called upon to put the full force of the eye into operation.” But it rankled. Told to Get Lost Grippo, aside from cutting “The Eye” to the quick, told him to “get lost.” And he also had harsh directive words with Swifty Morgan. Swifty is no man with whom to fool, or even make jokes. Because Swifty is the fellow who heared in the some time ago that if you blew your wad at Monte Carlo and went out in the moonlit terrape and took a gun to your person the management would hustle out forthwith, stuff many francs into your pocket and disappear, so that when the gendarmes appeared you would not be a corpse who took the quick out because of a financial shortage. Swifty blew the deuce, went outside, fired a roscoe, laid down gently—and spread a quick stain of tomato ketchup on his almost white shirtfront. A Formidable Opponent The manager of the casino appeared on schedule, stuffed Swifty’s pockets with genuine francs and legged it back to the casino. Swifty beat him back to the tables. Swifty. it can be seen, is not a man to antagonize or even to try to outthink. And thus it may be assumed that Grippo, the black magic man, made a mistake when he antagonized Swifty, the influential “mumbler”—and the ven-geance-minded “Eye.” It should be quite a fight. If not in the ring, at least outside.

Pare! Will Defend Crown On April 1 NEW YORK (UPD — f ßenny •Kid' Paret, Cuba’s perpetualmotion mauler, will defend his world westerweight crown against slick young Emile Griffith of New York at the Miami Beifch Convention Hall, Saturday, Apirl 1. The match was made secretly Wednesday. In his second defense of the 147-pound title, Paret will face the speedy, sharp-punching challenger who already has beaten two of the best Cuban fighters to come along in years: explosive Florentino Fernandez and “Lightnin’ ” Luis Rodriguez. Promoter Chris Dundee of Miami Beach expects the nationally televised Paret-Griffith 15-rounder to draw a live gate of at least $40,000. Terms of the match will b? announced as soon as certain TV-money details are straightened out. Griffith, who’ll be 23 Friday, is ranked top contender by the National Boxing Association. And he’s considered such a box-office attraction that champion Paret has agreed to replace Emile in a Los Angeles fight against Mexican Gaspar Ortega on Feb. 25, lest Griffith lose any of his lustre as a challenger. ■ Paret, also 23, will not be risking his championship in the nationally televised 10-rounder with Ortega at the Los Angeles Olympic Auditorium: for each will scale more than the 147-pound limit. ,

Six Tied For Lead In Palm Springs Open PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPD— A four-ring circus called the 90j hole $50,000 Palm Springs Golf Classic stages its second show today with an even half dozen stars fighting for the lead role. The six golfers fired 65s Wednesday to share the first round lead. A total of 58 blasted par i finding a hot desert sun and dry greens and fairways to their liking. .The first round leaders: Ken Venturi, Palo Alto, Calif.; Dow Finsterwald, Tequesta, Fla.; Bob Rosburg, Overland Park, Kan.; Dave Marr, Houston, Tex.; Cary Middlecoff, Memphis, Tenn.; and Charles Sifford, Los Angeles. Palmer 29th Tied for second place a stroke behind at 66 were: Bob Shields, Quincy, Ill.: Jay Hebert, the 1960 National PGA champion from Lafayette, La.; and Don Whitt, Borrego Springs, Calif. Defending champion Arnold Palmer, now playing out of Miami Fla., took a 69 which, remarkable to say, put him in a tie with 13 other golfers for 29th place. The traffic jam in the under-par category and on the golf courses was probably the greatest in PGA j history. Each pro played with three amateurs in a best-ball division, making a total of 512 competitors. Traffic was so bad on the four courses that some players took five hours to complete the 18 holes. To Thin Out The crowd will thin out on the final round Sunday when only the 60 low pros will continue into a fifth round on a fifth golf course —the Tamarisk Country Club. Three teams were tied at 22 under par in the first round of the pro-am division. These were teams led by professionals Ronnie Reif, San Diego, Calif., Eric Monti, Los Angeles, and Julius Boros, Midpines, N.C. Reif had a 70 in individual pro scoring; Boros, the former National Open champion, 71; and Monti, a 68. * ° • . “It looks like a hockey stick for a dwarf!"
