Franklin Chief ; Upset Victim j On Thursday ' INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—A few scattered upset teasers in two days of firing may have set the stage today for the “big wallop” in Indiana’s 51st annual high school basketball tourney. The top 10 teams in the final United Press Internationa] coaches’ ratings were still in there pitching, but 15th-ranked Franklin became the latest upset victim Thursday night, joining such “name” teams as Evansville North and Jeffersonville on the sidelines. Afternoon and night battling will cut another 152 teams from the field, leaving only 256 sectional • semi-finalists from the original total of 688. But East Chicago Washington’? defending state champs, top-rank-ing Kokomo, Logansport and 1960 tourney finalist Bloomington were idle until Saturday. They drew the easy route and gained the sectional semis in just one game. Three-time state, champ Indianapolis Attucks, a heavy pre-tour-ney choice to emerge victorious in the four-week grind, opened in the afternoon against suburban Lawrence Central while city foe Tech met Ben Davis. East Chicago Beats Whiting Night games involving elite outfits include unbeaten MadisonShawe, Michigan City-LaPorte, Muncie Central-Harrison Twp., Lawrenceburg-Moores Hill at Rising Sun, Indianapolis ManualGreenfield at Southport, Cathe-dral-Scecina at Indianapolis, plus Lincoln-Central at Evansville and Central-Concordia at Fort Wayne. East Chicago’s champs made their tourney debut with a 58-45 conquest of West NIHSC rival Whiting. The Senators were held to a 22-21 halftime lead but pulled away gradually in the second half. Kokomo’s North Central Conference titlists swept past Delphi, 70-38, Jim (Goose) Ligon pouring in 29 points. Logansport, one of the clubs to watch in the Northwest, toyed with Kewanna, 91-47, and Bloomington snapped a 14game losing streak at Martinsville at the expense of Stinesville, 65-38.

Tha Panthers won only twice during the regular season. Muncie Central and Fort Wayne Central, the other 1980 tourney finalists, and such other highranking powers as unbeaten Madison, and Cathedral, Michigan City, and Gary Roosevelt barely worked up a sweat. An example was Uth-rated Gary Roosevelt’s record 107-33 romp over little River Forest—the highest score racked up in the tourney so far. Most of the other lofty outfits also outclassed their foes—Muncie Central 96-Center 28, Madison 96-Lexington 36 for its 19th in a row; Michigan City 91Kingsbury 44; Cathedral 77-War-ren Central 59. Greenwood Gets Franklin But Franklin, the only three-in-a-row state champ in tourney history; South Central Conference titleholder with a 16-4 record, upsetter of Cathedral in a rare triple overtime just a week ago, couldn’t stand prosperity. The Grizzly Cubs were upset by Greenwood at Whiteland, 57-46. Greenwood, which didn’t cut much ice during the season, used a 4-man box zone and held Jon McGlocklin, Franklin’s best shooter, to a mere six points. The unpredictability of the “Hoosier Madness” was also pointed up at Mishawajca, where South Bend Washington, winner only five times during the season, knocked off city foes Riley and Adams, the latter, 58-57, to gain the semis on Ed Rogers’ 10-foot bucket in the last six seconds. Washington lost to both rivals during the season, to Adams by 16 points. Frankfort, with Muncie the only four-time state champs, survived a 68-67 struggle with Rossville at Clinton Central. Joe Hackerd hit the winning fielder with three seconds left and Rossville’s Gene Milner starred with 40 points. 11 Champs Ousted In contrast to Wednesday night, there were no double overtime games, but a handful other scraps were decided by last - minute heroics. The day’s only stall session saw Hammond Clark stave off city foe Morton, 27-26. Morton, which started the strategy, trailed 8-0 at the half but almost caught up at the finish. Six more sectional defending champs bowed out, making ft 11 out of the race at the halfway mark of first-round competition. The latest to go were Center Grove at Whiteland, 57-54 overtime loser to Trafalgar; host

Gil Hodges Rates Dodgers As Tougher By FRED DOWN United Press International Gil Hodgzs doesn’t often pop off so the Los Angeles Dodgers’ National League rivals had two good reasons today to perk up their ears. First, the veteran first-baseman believes that the 1961 1 Dodgers will prove stronger than the club that brought Los Angeles and world championship in 1959. And, second, he sees Frank Howard and Duke Snider forming a 1-2 punch that’ll produce between 50 and 60 home runs. “I think we have an excellent chance to win on our pitching alone,” said Hodges, who is hoping for a comeback after hitting only .198 last season. “This club is better than in 1959 because our pitchers are more experienced and we have more speed and more punch.” The Dodgers finished fifth in the league with a club total of 126 homers in 1960 but Hodges predicted that Howard and Snider will take up the slack this year and give them an authentic pow-er-hitting duo. The St. Louis Cardinals reported “all signed” when 18-game winner Larry Jackson agreed to terms that were estimated at $33,000. The 29-year-old right-hander, who will be in his seventh season with the Cardinals, posted a 3.48 earned run average last season. Ed Doherty, general manager bf the new Washington Senators, said he has received several offers for outfielder Gene Woodling but that no one will be traded until manager Mickey Vernon and his coaches are able to assess their talent in exhibition games. Other camp notes; Manager Charlie Dressen of the Milwaukee Braves announced that Andy Pafko will be his third base coach this year. . .Dick Groat, shortstop and captain of the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates, arrived ahead of schedule and worked out at Fort Myers, Fla. . .Fritz Brickell signed, leaving only Hector Lopez and Tony Kubek still to be satisfied by the New York Yankees. . .Willie McCbvey’s long-ball hitting durinpractice sessions impressed manager Alvin Dark of the San Francisco Giants.

The official announcement ended Several weeks of uncertainty as to the opening date. The trial originally was set for March 15, but was postponed to the request of defense lawyer Robert Servatius who wanted more time to prepare his case. “He looked so graceful playing basketball, his teacher picked him for the Elfin King part in the school play!”

Congressmen Bicker Over Missile Gap WASHINGTON (UPI) — Republican and Democratic congressmen who attended a top-secret briefing by defense officials bickered today over what constitutes a missile gap. The missile gap controversy rumbled anew as House Armed Services Committee continued its hearings, with Army Secretary Elvis J. Stahr Jr. and Army Chief of Staff George Decker scheduled to testify today on the defense situation. Rep. James E. Van Zandt, R-Pa., claimed a committee briefing by Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “proves there is no missile gap.” But a Democratic congressman who declined to be identified said it all depends on what makes a missile gap. He said the briefing indicated there was probably no gap in the ability of the United States and Russia to destroy each other. “But when you talk about the number of missiles.” he said, “that is an entirely different matter. Based on the briefings, I would say there is still a definite missile gap.” In another development, informed sources reported that the Joint Chiefs of Staff have recom mended limited production of the Nike-Zeius anti-missile missile. It was learned that a decision to go ahead with the anti-missile missile program, thus saving two years in providing a possible defense against intercontinental ballistic missiles, is pending before McNamara. e The Army has long been pressing to move the Nike-Zeus program into production, predicting it would be operational by 1964 or 1965. But Defense Department leaders have opposed it on grounds the system had not been sufficiently tested. 0 O 20 Years Ago - -«Today Feb. 24, 1941 — Dr. Harry O.

Reapportion Foes In Court Maneuver

INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—While the Senate’s most vocal advocate of reapportionment was off on a trip to St. Louis Thursday night, the colleagues against whom he had filed law suits maneuvered to avoid a scheduled court appearance Feb. 27. Sen. Nelson Grills, D-Indianapo-lls, had filed the suits several months ago against 23 holdover state senators, challenging their right to hold office on the grounds they had failed to carry out their duty in the 1958 General Assembly. Grills alleged in the Marion Superior Court suit that failure to reapportion the legislature in accordance with the constitution was dereliction of duty. Such reapportionment has not been carried out since 1921. The senators, with Grills absent, Thursday night amended a House bill and swiftly advanced it under suspension of rules from second to third reading and then to passage, 39-0. The original bill called for an extension to 10 days after final adjournment of the legislature the time of continuance for cases being handled by a lawmaker. An amendment was added which said that whenever a member of the General Assembly is a party to a civil action or a defendant in a criminal action, the court must grant a continuance to a date at least 30 days following final adjournment, Action By Monday President Pro Tern Hugh Dillin, D-Petersburg, predicted that the bill would be on the desk of Governor Welsh and signed into law before Monday—the date when the lawmakers were directed to appear in the court of Judge John Linder. The Senate earlier had adopted a report filed by the Elections Committee which stated that all senators holding office are legally qualified to do so. The Senate’s night session also produced passage of a bill to license baby-sitting agencies, and another requiring that delegates to state political conventions vote alphabetically by name, rather than by county. The licensing of baby-sitting agencies was optional and would affect only cities of the first and second class. Among such cities are Indianapolis. Evansville, Fort Wayne, Gary, Hammond, Kokomo, Lafayette, Marion, Muncie, Richmond. South Bend and Terre Haute. The vote was 37-5. Offered By Bits The new approach to convention balloting was offered by Sen. Paul Bitz, D-Evansville. who claimed the alphabetical method would “have the effect of keeping big city machines from dominating the convention.” The measure passed, 32-6, and now goes to the House. The night session also produced these results: A bill to appropriate $49,000 from Alcoholic Beverage Commission excise funds for education of handicapped children, approved 34-0. Authorize the Department of Labor to investigate and take court action against employers who fire workers on the basis

Approves Plan Os Test For Pay-TV WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Federal Communications Commission today formally authorized the nation’s first full scale try-out of pay television at Hartford, Conn. The FCC gave final approval to plans to conduct a 810 million three-year test of pay-TV. The experiment is expected to begin in about six months. The first major trial of subscription TV will be conducted by Hartford Phonevision, created for the purpose by FKO General, Inc. A Zenith Corp. decoding system will be used. Hartford Phonevision has purchased Hartford TV Station WHCT for the experiment. The station will show about 40 hours a week of pay programs and 30 additional hours of “conventional free” TV fare. First-run films will dominate the pay programs, but stage, music, educational and sports programs also will be offered. The cost of the programs will range from aboiit 25 cents to $3.50, with the majority running from about 75 cents to $1.50. The charge for installing a Zenith decoded, which also includes a device to add up the charges, will be from $7.50 to $lO. The Hartford experiment was bitterly opposed by many broadcasters and movie theater owners in hearings before the FCC last October. Paramount Pictures is running a test of closed-circuit paid TV at Toronto, Canada. This has met little opposition because it is carried on telephone lines. No Clues Found To Grabill Bank Robber GRAB ILL, Ind. <UPI> — Indiana State Police and the FBI today reported “no clues” in their search for a lone gunman who robbed the Grabill Bank of about SIO,OOO Thursday. The bandit, a stocky, bearded man dressed in old clothes, apparently fled this community of about 500 persons in a car later seen speeding toward the Ohio border 12 miles from here. The lone gunman forced about a dozen employes and customers of the bank to lie on the floor while he stuffed the loot into a brown paper bag. He threatened to kill them with a rifle he carried if they attempted to seek help. The bank robbery was the third in Indiana this year. The other robberies, at Gary and St. Paul, were solved and the participants sent to prison.
