Yellow Jackets Win Home Opener Tuesday For Third Victory Without A Defeat
By PETE REYNOLDS , Decatur’s Yellow Jackets scored their third victory of the season without a defeat Tuesday night, whipping the Geneva Cardinals, 69-47, in the Jackets’ home opener. It was the third setback for the Cardinals without a victory. Decatur trailed only in the early minutes of the ball game. The Cardinals drew first blood on Bill Burke's field goal after 25 seconds had elapsed. Bob Walters hit the first of his seven fielders to tie the score a minute later, and Ike Eichenauer’s foul toss put Decatur in front. The teams were tied at 12-12 after seven minutes of play, but the Yellow Jackets tallied eight points to only one for Geneva and Decatur was on top at the end of the first quarter, 20-13. Decatur’s attack sputtered throughout the second quarter, the Jackets scoring only nine points, while the Cardinals potted 14 and moved to within only two points, 29-27, at the main intermission.
Bid For Rose Bowl Rejected By Ohio State COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPD—The Ohio State University faculty council’s rejection of a Rose Bowl bid for the football team touched off a long, wild demonstration Tuesday night by some 10,000 students. Coach Woody Hayes seemed to take the decision calmly. There were reports that the students planned further demonstrations on campus today. The faculty, at a special afternoon meeting Tuesday to consider “overtures” from the West Coast, reaffirmed its opposition to the New Year’s Day classic by a 28-25 vote. Ohio State, which is rated No. 1 nationaly in the latest United Press International poll, finished an unbeaten season with a 50-20 victory Saturday at Michigan that gave the Buckeyes the Big Ten title. A few hours after the decision was announced, students gathered at the campus and demonstrated and then marched three miles to the downtown area and the Statehouse. They milled around the Statehouse grounds, chanting they wanted a “re-vote” on the question and “We want (Gov. Michael) Di Salle.” One student did talk briefly with the governor at his office there. Di Salle asked about the protest march and then asked if the students wanted a ride back to campus. They declined. A halfhour later, the students began the march back to campus. Hayes contacted at an alumni meeting in Cleveland, said that “a decision legally made must be legally accepted;” “I don’t agree with those 28 (who voted against the bid) but I respect their integrity, if not their intefflgcnco,” he sai<L“"We have learned to accept defeat when we have to, under pressure.” “It is difficult to explain, when after 15 years the Rose Bowl is jerked out from under our boys,” he added.

Jackets Pull Away The Cardinals stayed within range for the first four minutes of the third period, but the Jackets then began to pull away, paced by seven points each by Eichenauer and Denny Bollenbacher to pile up a 14-point advantage, 47-33, going into the final period despite frequent substituting by coach Bill McColly. Eichenauer led the Decatur scoring with 17 points, with Walters adding 15 and Bollenbacher 14. Geneva’s scoring was also well divided, Mike Newcomer leading the Cardinals with 12 points, Mike McGough adding 11, and Burke and Larry Webb 10 each. From the foul line, the Jackets converted 13 of 18 chances, the Cardinals 13 of 24. The Yellow Jackets will host the Berne Bears, defending sectional and regional champs, and also unbeaten after three starts, at the Decatur gym Friday night, and the Cardinals will host the Bryant Owls at Geneva, also Friday night.
Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Fat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Fraley’s follies and the weekend football “winners” — with certain anticipation that things will be worse than ever as traditional windups make for "Suicide Saturday.” Game Os The Week Army minus % over Navy— It’s somewhat surprising that Army is favored as the Middies shoot for their third win in a row. However, Army looks ripe to bounce back from that Oklahoma defeat. Line-smashing Al Rushatz and substitute quarterback Art Lewis could be the Cadet heroes in victory while the threat in a close contest will be Middie Greg Mather’s unerring toe. The East Holy Cross minus four over Boston College — BC is coming off a bruiser against Syracuse while Holy Cross could play it cozy against Connecticut. Kings Point over PMC—Harry (The Horse) Wright has done a fine job with the Mariners and wants this for a 7-3 season. The South Duke plus one over Notre Dame — The Blue Devils have been up and down like a yo-yo but playing at home spells the “up” difference. Mississippi State plus 14% over Mississippi — One of those imponderables with a point spread vote for the home team. Miami minus three over Florida — A nod to a tighter defense. Georgia plus 13 over Georgia Tech — One of those fire and charge encounters which proves Sherman was right. Virginia plus six over North Carolina — On the impetus of a win over Maryland, the long-suf-fering Cavaliers are out for a break-even season. Tennessee minus 14 over Vanderbilt — Vandy came apart at the seams after two good early season wins. Having lost seven in a row, it looks a little late to bail out the lifeboat. Alabama minus seven over Auburn — Barna, looking to close out a perfect season, will be whipping the horses long after they’ve crossed the finish line The Southwest Baylor plus seven over Rice Rice should be hot but strained as it shoots for a Bluebonnet Bowl berth. And Baylor has been coming like loaded dice. SMU plus 11 over TCU—Throwing the Christians to the Mustangs even though this band doesn’t turn the other cheek. Oregon State minus three over Houston — No particular reason. Texas Tech over West Texas State - The payoff on playing a tougher schedule. ' * Oklahoma minus 10 over Oklahoma State - This is another of those blood-letting dandies but Oklahoma seems to have found itself. The Midwest Ain t we lucky? No games The West Colorado minus six over Air Force — Closing out an almost perfect season to which Utah wrote the obituary.-... . Pro Basketball NBA Results Boston 116. Detroit 108.

Evansville North Off To Fast Start INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Evansville North is off to a fast start in defense of its Southern Indiana Conference high school basketball crown Paced by Dave Schellbase, who tossed in 34 points, the Huskies opened their season Tuesday night with an easy 84-63 victory over conference foe Mount Vernon. In another SIAC game, Jasper held on for a 62-56 victory over Huntingburg. Evansville Memorial picked up its second victory, downing non-conference foe, Haubstadt, 67-64. The season opening was not so pleasant for Terre Haute Garfield which bowed to West Vigo, 60-59. Terre Haute State registered a 66-49 victory over Dugger, its fourth in a row. Columbus, a top threat for South Central Conference honors, also made it four in a row, downing loop foe Shelßyville, 70-61. Richard Eynon paced the winners with 25 points, most of them in a last quarter surge which clinched the victory. East Gary also picked up its row at home over a two- year fourth victory and its 15th in a ■period with a 56-41 win over River Forest. Bob Herring scored 27 points to lead DeMotte over Lowell, 56-41. It was DeMotte’s fourth victory in five starts. Heisman Memorial Trophy For Davis NEW YORK (UPD—AII-Ameri-ca halfback Ernie Davis, whose running powered Syracuse to a Liberty Bowl bid, said today his selection as the first Negro ever to win the Heisman Memorial Trophy “is the kind of thing you dream about but are sure will never happen to you." "This is certainly one of the happiest days of my life,” said Davis, who broke four of the most prized records set at Syracuse by famed Jimmy Brown, indestructible fullback of the Cleveland Browns. “Naturally, I always wanted to win it, but I never thought I would.” Davis, who stands 6 feet, 2 inches and weighs 212 pounds, won the award in a close vote over Bob Ferguson. Negro fullback of Ohio State. Davis had 824 points on the basis of 179 firstplace votes, 103 second-place votes and 81 third-place votes. The voting for Ferguson was 122 for first, and a total of 771 points. The top pair were followed by Jimmy Saxton of Texas with 551 points, Sandy Stephens of Minnesota with 543 points, Pat Trammell of Alabama with 362 points and guard Joe Romig of Colorado with 279 points. Other top vote-getters in the annual poll to select the nation’s No. 1 college football player were quarterback John Hadi, Kansas, 172 points; end Gary Collins, Maryland, 167; quarterback Roman Gabriel, North Carolina State, 155; tackle Merlin Olsen, Utah State, 155; center Alex Kroll, Rutgers, 70; end Greg Mather. Navy, 67, and halfback Dave Hoppman, lowa State, 61.

Chisox Trade Roy Sievers To Phillies TAMPA, Fla. (UPD—The Chicago White Sox have visions of dominating the American League again and although they have made two major trades already, general manager Ed Short promised today “we probably will make a few more.” Short, working closely with his field manager. Al Lopez, consummated his second deal within 12 hours Tuesday when the White Sox acquired third baseman Charlie Smith and pitcher John Buzhardt from the Philadelphia Phillies for slugging first baseman Roy Sievers. The deal followed close on the heels of the White Sox’ first one of the baseball meetings in which they obtained Joe Cunningham from the St. Louis Cardinals for Minnie Minoso. "We have a couple of other deals in mind,” said Short. “There is a good chance we may be able to swing them before the meetings wind up at the end of the week.” Offer Veterans Short would not identify the players the White Sox are offering, but it was learned that such veterans as Sherm Lollar, Billy Pierce and Turk Lown are among them. The White Sox’ sudden plunge into the trading market can be traced to their fourth place finish last season when they looked anything but like the exciting go-go aggregation which won the American League pennant in 1959. “The two deals we’ve made already should go a long way toward making us a pennant contender again,” said Lopez enthusiastically. “Charlie Smith will give us exactly what we need at third base and I think Buzhardt could be a big help to our pitching staff.” The Phillies went for the 35-year-old Sievers because, as general manager John Quinn put it, “we were sorely in need of a power hitter.” Meta Get Thomas The New York Mets, one of the National League’s two new clubs, felt exactly the same way. They obtained 32-year-old Frank Thomas from the Milwaukee Braves for an unspecified sum and a player to be named later. Thomas hit 27 homers and had 73 runs batted in while hitting .281 last season. While Short, successor to Bill Veeck, was looking around to do more business on the trading market, so were a number of other clubs. The Boston Red Sox, one of six clubs who were interested in Sievers. turned toward the San Francisco Giants in an effort to come up with veteran Harvey Kuenn. Boston is willing to give up reliever Mike Fornieles and perhaps another pitcher. The talks chilled a little when the Giants broached the name of Chuck Schilling. Minnesota has offered long-ball hitting Jim Lemon to Washington for one of two outfielders, Joe Hicks or Jim King, and the Yankees are looking for some added bench strength by dangling catcher Jesse Gonder as bait. Offered to Cards Gonder was offered to the Cardinals for Cunningham but St. Louis felt it could make a better deal with the White Sox and the Minoso swap developed. Several clubs"“lndicated they might make deals shortly "if we get what we want.” The trouble, it develops, is that those clubs can’t get the players they’re asking in return. “Everyone we talk to wants Norm Siebern,” said Kansas City manager Hank Bauer. “Well, Siebern happens to be our best hitter and we’re not going to give him up for nothing.” The Giants have made inquiries of the A’s about second baseman Jerry Lumpe and the two clubs still are talking on that one. Minnesota president Cal Griffith claims “all the clubs that talk to us want Bob Allison.” Griffith dozsn’t say Allison can’t be had; he does say, however, Alison won’t go for what he’s being offered.

Notre Dame In Demand Rules Committee Act SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPD — Notre Dame officials today awaited an answer to their demand that the controversial Irish win over Syracuse Nov. 18 be settled in a decision by the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s rules committee. Irish officials fired off the demand to the NCAA Tuesday. A Notre Dame athletic official said Gen. Robert Neyland, rules committee chairman compounded “a serious injustice to Notre Dame” when he said in Knoxville. Tenn., earlier Tuesday that "officials made a mistake” in giving the Irish an extra down, in which they won the game, 17-15. Game officials called a roughness penalty against Syracuse and gave Notre Dame an extra play after time had run out. Joe Perkowski kicked a 41-yard field goal to give the Irish the extra edge. Nay land said that "in my opinion and in the opinion of several other members of the NCAA rules committee, the officials made a mistake in awarding Notre Dame an extra down.” But he added that it was "now purely an institutional matter” and he knew of no machinery to reverse the decision and the outcome of the game. At Kansas City, Walter Byers, executive secretary of the NCAA, supported Neyland's decision, saying that “the NCAA football rules committee is the association’s final authority on the interpretation and application of the rules.” Rev. Edmund P. Joyce, executive vice president and chairman of Notre Dame’s faculty board in control of athletics, said in a statement: “I regret that the chairman of the rules committee is giving decisions before his full committee meets, thus compromising their future action ... "We are not looking for anything to which we are not entitled —only a fair , unemotional judgment after all the evidence and all the pertinent rues and interpretations are studied by the full committee in proper session.” Byron Broome Named LU. Most Valuable INDIANAPOLIS (UPD —Quarterback Byron Broome was honored here Tuesday night as Indiana University’s ’’most valuable” 1961 football player. Speaking at the annual banquet of the IU Men’s Club of Indianapolis, Hoosier coach Phil Dickens praised Broome's "amazing achievement” at a new position.
