■" -a Decatur Wrestlers To Sectional Meet Decatur high school’s wrestling team is included in a record field of 94 schools, 10 more than last year, which will be competing for the 1962 Indiana high school wrestling championships this Saturday. Pairings and seedings in the 12 weight divisions were made Monday by IHSAA commissioner L. V. Phillips. Sectionals will be held at eight sites Saturday, with the regionals Saturday, Feb. 10, and the state finals Saturday, Feb. 17. Indianapolis Wood is the defending champion, having won the title the past two years in succession.

The Decatur squad is scheduled to be in South Bend at 8:30 o’clock Saturday morning, when the wrestling begins. Although the Decatur squad is in only its first season in the sport, chances of scoring a few points in the meet appear good. Decatur has won one match this season, and has been outclassed only once. Some of the Decatur individuals could come through with some points. Sam Baumann, 133-lb. class, and Dale Wass, 145-lb. division, have each won five of seven matches this season.

Stokes, Twyman Co-Winners Os ■ Courage Award 1 PHILADELPHIA (UPD-Mau- ’ rice Stokes, former Cincinnati Royals basketball player, and , teammate Jack Twyman, who ' helped him fight back from ; death’s door, were named co-win-ners Monday night of the 1961 Most Courageous Athlete Award ; by local sportswriters. i The Philadelphia Sports Writers ’ Association also honored Whitey ■ Ford of the New York Yankees ■ as the nation’s outstanding ath- : lete for winning 25 games last year and going on to break Babe Ruth’s World Series consecutive scoreless innings pitching record. 1 All-America guard Joe Romig ■ of Colorado was selected as the outstanding college lineman of 1961 at the association’s 58th an--1 nual banquet before 1,000 diners. Twyman received recognition for his Good Samaritan role after i Stokes collapsed from a brain in- , jury in 1958 which has left him ; completely paralyzed. Twyman was cited for devotion and for , courage in handling Maurice’s welfare, while at the same time ; playing with the Royals, conduct- ' ing his own off-season business , and supporting his own family. Fights For Life i Stokes was honored for his gal- , lant fight for life after four months of semi-consciousness and his response to Twyman’s drive, • which literally kept him living. i Twyman, legal guardian of ; Stokes for financial purposes, re- . ceived the twin awards from Ed , i Pollock of the Philadelphia Bule- • i tin. The writers presented a SSOO r check to the Stokes’ fund. In addition to making all of , Stokes' financial decisions, Twyi man solicited aid from the Natio n a 1 Basketball Association , when savings melted, and enabled Stokes to receive state assistance. Entertainers and contributions from persons throughout the nation helped to ease Stokes’ plight. One Contribution noted that “where else but in America, would I, a Jew, send money to you, a Catholic, to help a Negro?” Biggest Reward Twyman’s biggest reward has been the message which Maurice took hours to tap out on an electric typewriter: “Jack, how can , I ever thank you.” Southpaw Ford pitched 32 scoreless innings against Cincinnati in the post-season classic last October to erase the immortal Babe’s mark. c - Romig is a brilliant nuclear physics student at Colorado with a 3.8 grade out of a possible 4.00. He plans a year of seminary study after winning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees, concentrating on the correlation of science I and the Bible. Decatur Freshmen ) Lose To Concordia Concordia of Fort Wayne staged a last quarter rally to nose out the Decatur freshmen team 33-31 in a game played Monday in Fort | Wayne. ' Decatur held a three-point margin. 26-23, going into the final period, but the host team outscored them 10-5 in the final stanza. Decatur had also led at the first two period stops, 7-6 and 20-14. Dave Anspaugh’s eight points i led Decatur’s scoring, while three Concordia players scored eight points each. Decatar FG FT TP Burnette 2 2 6 Elliott 3 17 Egly 0 11 D.

Ohio State U. Whips Purdue; Indiana Wins By United Press International That makes 15 in a row now for Ohio State’s unbeaten Buckeyes, who are disposing of all rivals as if even one defeat would mean some kind of national basketball disgrace. Employing All-America Jerry Lucas merely as a decoy, the topranked Buckeyes had no trouble at all defeating P urdue, 94-73, Monday night on the losers’ court at Lafayette, Ind. It was the, 20th consecutive Big Ten victory for the blazing Buckeyes, tying a modern conference record, and their second in a week o ver the Boilermakers, whom they beat, 91-65, at Columbus, Ohio, on Jan. 22. Ohio State has nine more games to go, all against Big Ten opponents, to complete its regular schedule. The Buckeyes won their first 27 games last season, then dropped their last one to Cincinnati in the NCAA final. Bucks Pull Away Purdue was in the game for the first 14 minutes Monday n ight when he lead changed hands twice and the score was tied six times, but the Bucks then hit for four field goals to take a 42-32 lead and remained in front the rest of the way. The personal duel between Lucas and his fellow All-America, Purdue’s Terry Dischinger, never really materialized. Lucas, who poured in 32 points against the Boilermakers last week, was used more for decoying than scoring and settled for a modest 13 points. Dischinger. limited to nine points in last week’s contest, had 23 points. Mel Garland of Purdue was individual high scorer with 30 points. Mel Nowell paced The Buckeyes with 29. Third-ranked Kentucky ran into a bit of a scare before beating upset-minded Georgia Tech, 71-62, at Atlanta. Bad Start Sophomore sensation Cotton Nash scored only three points and made several mistakes during the first half at the end of which the score was tied at 25-all. But he warmed up in the second half, dropped in his last six straight shots from the field and wound up with 21 points. The victory gave Kentucky a 14-1 record overall and a 5-0 slate in the Southeastern Conference. Virginia Tech rolled up a 21point lead and then withstood a late r ally to u pset 12th-ranked West Virginia, 85-82, at Blacksburg, Va. Bucky Keller, with 28 points, and Howard Pardue, with 26, led the winners, while Rod Thorn was high for the Mountaineers with 26. The loss was the first in the Southern Conference this season for West Virginia, which had won its 10 previous league games. Eighth-ranked Bradley downed Tulsa, 62-50, at Peoria, 111., with All-America Chet Walker watching from the sidelines. Walker, recuperating from a kidney ailment, saw his teammates go out in front at the start and lead all the way. Joe Strawder paced Bradley with 23 points. Other Games Jimmy Rayl’s 24 points led Indiana to a 72-71 Big Ten win over Northwestern at Evanston. 111., and Wisconsin defeated Ilinois, 85-81, at Champaign, 111., in another Big Ten tussle. St. John’s came from behind twice to beat Notre Dame, 78-72, in double overtime at So.uth Bend, Ind., where Leroy Ellis of thfc Redmen led all scorers with 31 points. Elsewhere around the nation, Clemson defeated Furman, 97-88; Delaware beat Virginia, 8 9-88; Connecticut topped Loyola of New Orleans. 84-74; Alabama downed Chattanoga, 73-56; Providence beat Niagara, 77-67; Xavier (Ohio) defeated Detroit, 89-82; and Arizona State University ran all over Los Angeles State, 114-66.

Chicago Cubs Have Only One Man Unsigned By MILTON RICHMAN United Press International One more will do it for the Chicago Cubs, but that one—balking Ron Santo—could be tougher than all the rest, especially since he has fired back two unsigned contracts already. No club in the majors operates more quickly or efficiently than Phil Wrigley’s club—off the field. Although they haven’t finished in the first division since 1946, they have won the penmanship prize two years in a row by being the first major league clubs to sign all their players. With 36 of their 37 players already signed for 1962, the Cubs are in an excellent position to stretch their string to three, although the 21-year-old Santo may prove a stumbling block. Santo, a third baseman and one of the club’s brightest hopes for the future, has been offered a raise. He feels he deserves more in view of the fact he hit 23 homers last season, drove in 83 runs, batted .284 and generally was hailed as one of the National League’s finest sophomores. Not Worried General manager John Holland indicates he doesn’t expect to j difficulty from the young third baseman. Santo, significantly or not, says nothing. Anyway, the Cubs signed three players Monday—pitchers Barney Schultz and Dave Gerard and outfielder Nelson Mathews—so now Santo is the only dissatisfied member left. One of the clubs pressing the Cubs for the distinction of being able to announce “all present and accounted for” first is the Cleveland Indians, who have 25 players | under contract. They signed veteran catcher Harry Chiti and four rookies Monday. The Los Angeles Dodgers also came up with a flock of signatures, managing to satisfy four more of t heir players, including Jim Gilliam. Yanks Sign Three Three rookies signed with the New York Yankees, who now have a total of 12 under contract for the coming season. The three were Jake Gibbs, Howie Kitt and George Haney. Gibbs is the former Mississippi All-America quarterback who was given a $105,000 bonus for signing, then was sent to Richmond where he batted .270 but drove in only 28 runs. The Yanks consider him “primarily a third baseman.”
