Detailed Plans For Sectional Tournament Revealed By Manager

Additional plans for the annual sectional tourney, which will be held at the Adams Central gym, beginning Wednesday, Feb. 21, have been announced by Philip E. Souder, Adams Central principal and tourney manager. Pairings for the 64 sectional tourneys, 16 regionals, four semistate, and state finals will be drawn by the IHSAA at Indianapolis Wednesday morning, Feb. 14, starting at 8 o'clock, and will be released to the press at once. As announced earlier, the twobracket setup will be used again this year for the Adams Central sectional, in which the eight Adams county teams compete. Two games will be played Wednesday night, Feb. 21, at 7 and 8:15 o’clock. The first round will be completed with two games Thursday night, Feb. 22, also at 7 and 8:15 o'clock. No games will be played Friday, Feb. 23, with the day devoted to sale of tickets to the four schools still in the running. Semifinals will be played Saturday afternoon, Feb. 24, at 12:30 and 1:45 o’clock. The championship game will be at 8:15 p. m. Saturday. Fans See Own Teams Under the two-bracket setup, fans of the teams in each session will receive the bulk of the tickets. Each school not participating in a session will receive 25 tickets, and all others will go to the competing schools on an enrollment basis. Ticket prices are 50 cents for each of the Wednesday and Thursday sessions, and $1 for tickets to both the semifinal and final sessions Saturday. In event the Adams Central gym is not a sellout in season tickets, single session tickets will be sold at the ticket offices inside the south doors and at the northwest entrance to the gym. Doors to the gym wijl be open one hour before time of the first game of each session. Enrollment in the schools, on which the distribution of tickets is based,* is as follows: Adams Central, 265; Berne-French, 280; Decatur, 445; Decatur Catholic, 191; Geneva, 180; Hartford, 52; Monmouth, 180; Pleasant Mills, 92.

Cow bells and other noise instruments will not be allowed. No banners, posters, etc., that are objectionable in wording or which distract view of others, will not be allowed. Only varsity cheer leaders from the two participating schools ' may be used in connection with . any one game. Three officials will be assigned by the IHSAA to referee the sectional games. Souder has named Richard Allspaw, Adams Central science teacher, as official timer, and Donald Sprunger, English teacher at Adams Central, as official scorer.

PHOENIX, Aiz. (UPI) — The favorites are Arnold Palmer and Gene Littler in the $35,000 Phoenix Open golf tournament starting today—but the big names better not look back or they may see National Amateur champion Jack Nlcklaus closing in on them. Nicklaus turned in his finest performance since turning pro when he fired a seven-under-par 64 to deadlock with seasoned Lionel Hebert Wednesday for top place in the pro-amateur tournament. And he figures he finally has his putting touch working. “I’m trying out a new putter,” said Nicklaus after his round, “and it seems to be working out okay.” Ever since he learned to play golf, the 200-pound, 21-year-old Ohio State athlete has been using an old hickory-shafted affair. Tuesday he started practicing with a mallet head. And Wednes day he gave it the test All he did was: Sink a 20 foot putt for an eagle on the first hole; tank one from 25 feet for a birdie on the second. Then he got six more birdie putts from distances up to 10 feet. He did, however, three putt one green. “But I’m playing real well,’’ he added. “I missed four-foot putts on both the eight and ninth holes. I just hope this putter helps me.” Afer he turned pro, Nicklaus said he expected to make a minimum of $30,000 on the tour his first year—or he would call the initial outing a disappointing campaign. But in the first five tournaments he won only $1,260 and stands 49th on the list of 1962 money winners. However, most of the pros contend that he’ll be a big money winner after he gets over his youthful jitters. It may be that Phoenix is the place he can turn the trick. Palmer had a 71 Wednesday and Littler a 74. However, they were just testing the course for size and weren’t too interested in Nicklaus and Hebert each collected $225 for their efforts. Palmer is the defending champion of the tournament, but he won last year on a different course when the tourney was played on this Phoenix County Club in 1960, it was won by Jack Fleck. Fleck had a solid 69 Wednesday. Pro Basketball NBA Results Detroit 113, Cincinnati 107. ABL Resalts Cleveland 144, San Francisco 115. New York 130, Pittsburgh 111.

Many Os Major League Players Still Unsigned Untied Fcm Intenattonal Up and down the baseball beat, all the general managers tell you “eveything 1* going along smoothly,” but don’t believe it because it’s just a lot of peseason propaganda. The only major league general manager who can make that statement a n mean it is John Holland of the Chicago Cubs. All of his players already are signed. But now you take some of the others, like Buzzy Bavasi of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Nothing ruffles Buzz. He takes things in stride and says he expects “no trouble” even though he’s having quite a bit of it with nearly a dozen unsigned Dodger players. Larry Sherry, Sandy Koufax, Stan Williams, Frank Howard, Wally Moon and Willie Davis are among those asking for more money. No doubt all will sign eventually, but Koufax for one, insists he and the club are a long way apart 13 Under Contract The Boston Red Sox claim everything is going smoothly, too, but only 13 players under contract out of 38 indicates the signing procedure is proving rougher for them than they’re really letting on. The New York Yankees signed two of their players Wednesday, pitcher Bill Stafford and outfielder Bob Cerv, although nary a word was heard from their big problem, Roger Maris, plus 14 others, including Elston Howard. Cleveland is having its problems also trying to satisfy Gary Bell, Jim Perry, Chuck Essegian and Ken Aspromonte along with four others, and no progress was reported by the Detroit Tigers in their negotiations with Al Kaline, Norm Cash and Rocky Colavito. Orlando Cepeda looks as if he may be a tough nut for the San Francisco Giants to crack, and for all the money they’re spending, the New York Mets have yet to satisfy 13 of the 35 players on their roster. They did, however, sign two Wednesday in first baseman Ed Bouchee and pitcher Sherman (Roadblock) Jones. Dick Stuart Signs Possibly the most refreshing signee was uninhibited Dick Stuart, who accepted a substantial raise from the Pittsburgh Pirates because as he put it, "I deserved it.” You can’t argue with figures. Stuart, who will draw an estimated $35,000 this year, drove in 117 runs last season, hit 35 homers and batted .301. Veteran catcher Sherm Lollar and rookie pitcher Mike Degerick agreed to terms with the Chicago White Sox, who still have 15 unsigned players, while southpaw Don Ferrarese, outfielder Ken Walters and second baseman Leo Burke signed their contracts With the Philadelphia Phillies. Still unsigned though are Art Mahaffey, Jim Owens, Dallas Green, John Callison and Tony Gonzalez. Others who signed Wednesday were Ken Hunt, Eddie Kasko and Joe Gaines of the Cincinnati Reds; Lu Clinton, Wilbur Wood, Bob Tillman and Bill Spanswick of the Red Sox, and Phil Ortega, Jack Smith, Tim Harkness, Ken McMullen, Dick Tracewski and Dick Smith of the Dodgers.

The Wildcats from Philadelphia lost a two-point decision to sixthranked Duquesne of Pittsburgh last week, which helped grease the skids for a fall from the first 10. But Villanova, aware of a potential at-large bid from the NCAA or selection by the NIT for post-season play, vaulted right back with an aggressive zone defense and a hot-shooting 54-8 per cent from the field. The Villanova cause was helped by the ejection of two Dukes on fouls- Sophomore sensation Willie Somerset left the game with 7:02 remaining after he had scored 26 * points. Earlier, at 3:23 of the I second half, Mike Rile was sent to the sidelines on five fouls. Ride had been Duquesne’s high scorer i in the victory over Villanova at Pittburgh. White Led Scoring Hubie White led Villanova’ scoring with 25 points as the Wildcats raised their season’s record to 16-4. A college scoring record set by Wilt Chamberlain was equalled when Mike Wroblewski of fourthranked Kansas State netted 46 points in a 91-72 victory over Kansas. Chamberlain had set the Big Eight single game mark while playing for Kansas. Wrohfowski also cracked his school's team record of 45 points that Bob Boozer had set in 1958. Jesse Nash of DePaul hoped his first collegiate game was just the start of a long line of scoring records. Hi s 19-point output against Louisville brought DePaul a 79-78 surprise victory, but what was most impressive was Nash’s coolness in the clutch when he sank a pair of free throws in the last ,14 seconds of the third overtime period. Loyola of Chicago, which travels at a better than two-point-a-minute clip as the nation’s major college scoring leader, defeated Western Michigan, 102-79. Jerry Harkness collected 32 points for the winners — West Virginia Beat Pitt St. Joseph's (Pa.) had to rally in the final 10 minutes to down Georgetown, 81-70, while West Virginia continued Its mastery over Pittsburgh by beating the Panthers for the 12th straight time, 80-76. Tom Wynne’s 26 points and Jimmy Lynam’s 20 helped St. Joseph recover from a half-time deficit. Bob Sharpenter of Georgetown set a season’s mark for a visiting player at Philadelphia’s Palestra with 40 points. Rod Thorn, recovering from an ankle injury, tallied 24 points for West Virginia. Pittsburgh closed to within 78-76 but couldn’t come ’ up with the equalizer. ' Toledo stopped 10th ranked Bowling Green, 70-59. In other major games, John
