Wrestlers Are Defeated By Marion Team Decatur dropped a close wrestling match to Marion Thursday evening, losing by a 33-16 score in a match held at Marion. Coach Gary Glessler’s grapplers jumped into a 5-3 lead after the first two matches, but dropped the next three matches and couldn’t make up the difference. Decatur winners were Dave Adams, who copped the 95-pound division, his third win in his last four starts; Sam Baumann in the 133-pound class; Dale Wass in the 145-pound division, and big Steve Hazelwood in the heavyweight class. Wass and Baumann, who now have each won five of seven matches this year, won by decision, as did Adams, while Hazelwood pinned his opponent. Alan Kalver also garnered two points for Decatur by typing his opponent with two seconds remaining in the match, and thus gaining an even split of four points. Summary: 95-lbs., Adams (D) decisioned Boatright (M); 103-lbs., Kalver <D) and Whitton (M) tied; 1124b5., Haynes <M) pinned Myers <D); 120-lbs., Boatright (M) pinned Death (D); 127-lbs., Cox (M) decisioned Butcher (D); 133-lbs., Bauman (D) decisioned Zook (M); 138-lbs., Henderson <M) decisioned Conrad <D>; 145-lbs., Wass (D) decisioned Evans (M); 154-lbs., Hutcheson (M) pinned Hill (D); 165-lbs., Andrews (M) pinned Reinking <D>; 175-lbs., Chandler (M) pinned Underwood <D); heavyweight, Hazelwood (D) pinned Hornaday (M).

Jack Faulkner Is Named Denver Coach DENVER (UPI) - Jack Faulkner, the youngest head coach in American professional football, has taken a giant step up from the American Football League’s winningest team to the Denver Broncos—a record loser. The 35-year-old former San Diego Charger defensive backfield coach succeeded to the Bronco job Thursday. The Denver board of directors gave him a two-year contract. Salary terms were not disclosed. It is Faulkner’s first shot at a head coaching job after 13 years as assistant to San Diego’s Sid Gillman. Faulkner developed Charger defenses into the AFL’s best. San Diego set an all-pro record last season with 11 straight victories. In his move to Denver, Faulkner inherits a team that set an AFL record for losing. The Broncos lost their last seven games the past season and won only seven during two years in the league — while losing 20 and tieing one. Faulkner’s two-year contract carriers with it an unmentioned ultimatum to produce a winner. Bronco President Cal Kunz said his new coach would have a type of buffer zone his first year, but the Bronco brass wants results the second year. Bronco officials issued a strong recommendation that Faulkner keep Denver assistant coaches Dale Dodril and Ken Carpenter, but gave full authority to Faulkner to select his own staff.

Gene Littler Is Leader In Lucky Tourney SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Gene Littler, with one of his self-admit-ted “greatest shots” behind him, teed off in the second round of the $50,000 Lucky International tournament today holding a twostroke lead over the star-packed field. The National Open champion, former National Amateur king and three-time Tournament of Champions winner, had his finest day since winning the Open last summer when he posted six-un-der-par 65 65 Thursday on the “heavy” Harding Park course. That was two strokes better than the 67 posted by veteran Marty Furgol of Coghil, Hl., and three better than 10 other shotmakers at 68. “The shot that got me the 65 came on the fourth hole,” said Littler, who usually is hard to excite. “I’ve- never-seen anything like it. My second shot on the par-five, 560-yard hole landed beside a tree. I couldn’t do anything with it except approach it from a left-handed stance. “So I took out my putter, which has a bit of a loft on the back. I spanked it good and it sailed 80 yards through the air and landed on the green. Surprisingly, it had some backspin on it. And it ended up only 20 feet from the pin. I sank the putt for a birdiefbur — When I easily could have had a bogey six.” The 10 men tied at 68 are Tony Lerna, Don Fairfield, Eric Mom, Ken Venturi, Stan Leonard, Paul Harney, Bob Goalby, Tommy Aaron, Harold Kneece, and Doug F< Os the 159 golfers teeing off, 33 broke par. . Among these were Arnold raimer, the British Open champion and' Gary Player, defending champion and Masters king, both with 70s.

Sandy Stephens Is Signed By Canadian Team MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — Sandy Stephens, a Uniontown, Pa., high school star who found success and fame in leading the Minnesota Golden Gophers back to football prominence, had the pro contract he demanded today. His no-cut, no-trade agreement with the Montreal Alouettes in a three-year pact at a reported SIOO,OOO was to be formally ratified here today. He came to terms with the Canadian Football League club Thursday and Alouette officials immediately flew into town to announce the agreement. It was the first big “steal” of a name U.S. college player by a Canadian team. Stephens decided to forego the chance to be the first Negro quarterback in the U.S. pro ranks for the kind of a contract he wanted. He was sought by the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League and the New York Titans of the American League. He admitted that money was a big factor. But he said it was security and playing promises which were decisive. “I have been a running, passing and punting quarterback and I hope to continue in all three roles in Canada,” Stephens said. “I feel I can adapt readily to the Canadian style of play and I’ve been guaranteed I’ll play at quarterback.” Terms were not announced and Sandy declined to discuss them. However, it was almost certain the Alouettes, who are badly in need of a quarterback, offered the 6-foot, 212-pound field general a three-year deal for at least $20,000 a year plus a signing bonus. Stephens said he cut off negotiations with the Browns because they "wanted too much power over me.” At Cleveland, Brawn President Art Modell said “we refused to be encumbered with any agreement that could work to the detriment of the team as a whole.” Stephens, who has been offered an off-season public relations job with the Alouettes, said he will probably move to Canada in June.

Braves' Star Rookie Catcher Signs Contract By United Frew International Joe Torre, who “did the difficult’’ for the Milwaukee Brayes In 1961, is prepared ’to attempt the “impossible” in 1962. Joe, a 21-year old catcher who answered a minute man call from the Braves last season so well that he was considered one of the outstanding rookies of the season in the National League, thinks he can replace Del Crandall as the Braves* first-string catcher this year. “I know that Crandall Is the captain of the team and has been a star catcher for several years,” said Torre after signing his 1962 contract Thursday. “But I expect to catch 135 games this year. In other words, I expect to be firststring catcher again.” Torre, 6-1 and weighing about 210 pounds, batted .278 with 10 home runs and 42 runs batted in while playing in 113 games last season. He signed Thursday along with pitcher Tony Cloninger, who posted a 7-2 record after being recalled in mid-season. Next to Torre, shortstop Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers was the biggest “name” corralled in the signing league Thursday. Wills, who batted .283 and stole 35 bases last season, signed for an estimated $24,000, an increase of $3,000, over his 1961 salary. The Chicago Cubs signed their 33rd player when relief pitcher Dick Ellsworth agreed to terms. Ellsworth, 21, had a 10-11 record and a 3.85 earned run average in 1961. The Baltimore Orioles reported the signing of utilityman Dick Williams and first baseman Marv nironeberry. Williams hit ,206 and Throneberry .226 last season in which neither played regularly. The Washington Senators signed rookies Ed Brinkman and Dalton Renfroe.

Studebaker Strike Talks Are Recessed •SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPD—Negotiations aimed at settling the Studebaker-Packard strike were in recess today to give both sides a chance to study their positions before further talks. Federal Mediator Walter Magiolo recommended the recess Thursday night following a joint session characterized by officials of the United Auto Workers union as “foot-dragging” on the part of the company. Ray Berndt, UAW regional director, told United Press International he expected nothing to come of the talks until S-P president Sherwood H. Egbert return to South Bend. Egbert, who has been ■ on a European business trip, was in New York Thursday for a meeting of the auto firm’s board of directors. He will return here before the talks resume next Monday afternoon. Berndt said he felt the company would welcome the recess until Monday as a chance to “wait for Egbert to get back with the signals.” Indiana Labor Commissioner Robert P. Butler, a member of the mediation panel, said the company agreed to the recess, saying there was no point to talks over the weekend unless it would be possible to reach some agreement on washup time, one of the major issues still unsettled. Company negotiators presented their latest proposals to the union in writing Thursday but Berndt said they represented “no material change” from the company’s earlier stand. “We already knew what they were.” he said. "I don’t see why we needed them in writing.” Berndt said the union had received no reply to a telegram sent to S-P’s directors, pledging the union's fullest cooperation in settling the strike and asking for an investigation of local management. Company spokesmen declined to say whether labor relations had been discussed at the New York meeting. The strike by 6,500 UAW members began at midnight Jan. 1 in a dispute over a new contract. Other major issues involved arc vacation and premium pay and seven-day work schedules.

Cincinnati Is Easy Winner In Loop Game By FRED DOWN United Press International Cincinnati’s defending NCAA basketball champions are almost as stubborn as the nation’s experts — perhaps even more so. The Bearcats have retained their ranking as the No. 2 team in the country despite two defeats that placed them third in their own Missouri Valley Conference. They have a long road to travel to win their own conference championship without worrying at this time about the national title but they haven’t given up. Coach Ed Jucker’s sometimes—incosistent team scored a key victory in its drive for the Missouri Valley title and a chance to repeat as NCAA champion Thursday night with an 89-61 victory over north Texas Statt at Cincinnati. The Bearcats, shooting for their fifth consecutive conference title, surged to a 6-0 lead and never were headed. The victory gave the Bearcats a 4-2 record in conference play. They trail both Wichita (5-2) and Bradley (4-1) but they look ready for the uphill struggle that would earn them the conference title and a chance to repeat their victory over Ohio State, the natjpp’s No. 1 ranked team, in the NCAA tournament. Guard Tony Yates led Cincinnati with 23 points while John Savage tallied 30 for North Texas State. LaSalle, a strong Eastern independent, downed Miami (Fla.), 73-61, at Miami Beach, Fla., and Houston beat Texas Christian, 6156, at Fort Worth, Tex., in other top games Thursday night. Guard Bob McAteer’s two quick field goals in the second half sparked LaSalle to its victory over Miami after the score had been tied 10 times. Center Wai* Sampson led LaSalle with 18 points while Ken Allen had 14 to lead the Hurricanes. Lyle Harger’s 21 points led Houston to its victory and saddled Texas Christian with its 12th loss in 13 games.
