Jackets Drop NEICTiItTo Bluffton Nine Bluffton scored five times in the first inning, and coasted to a 9-2 Northeastern Indiana conference victory over Decatur at Worthman field Thursday afternoon. The winners scored five times in the first inning on six hits, and added another three in the third and a single one in the sixth. Decatur was limited to single tallies in the first and fifth innings, as Murray, Bluffton hurler, scattered seven Yellow Jacket hits. The Tigers came up with the five big runs in the first inning, with the benefit of only one “good" base hit. Gass led off with a bouncer between short and third, and Schmidt bounced another hit to the left of second base. Big Brad Bounds sent another “Heeder’ ’ between short and third, scoring Gass. Murray blooped a single into short rightfield to score another run, and Durr singled to left to score two more. Taylor then lined a double to deep right centerfield, scoring Durr with the fifth run of the inning , Load Bases Decatur got one run back in their half of the first when Bob Walters and Max Eichenauer singled and Gred Ladd walked, filling the bases. Walters scored on Max Elliott's sacrifice fly to right, and Marbach walked, loading the bases again. Denny Cookson, who started on the mound for Decatur, lined one to right field which Bluffton's second sacker Durr speared in the air, and stepped on second. doubl-; ing up Ladd to end the inning. Bluffton scored three more in the third on Murray’s single; an error, and Taylor’s double, and added their final run in the sixth, again with the benefit of an error. Max Elliott, who had a perfect day with three for three, accounted for Decatur’s final tally when he sent a long home run to the rightfield fence. The loss completely wrecks Decatur's NEIC hopes, leaving the Jackets with a 3-2 conference mark, and an 8-5 overall slate. The Jackets wrap up their season next week with two more NEIC games, both under the lights. New Haven comes to Decatur Monday evening and Concordia comes in Tuesday.

(UPD — Bill Collins, whose seven-under-par 65 is leading going into today’s second round of the $20,000 Hot Springs Open, said his game is starting to jell again. And if confidence is what Collins needs, this is a good place for him to get it. He has won almost as much money here the last two years ($3,432) as he has won so far in 12 tournaments this year ($3,545.) He won here in 1960 on the way to his best year, and in 1961 finished with a last-day 64, the best round of the tournament, for ninth placer- — Collins has averaged 71 in three tournaments here. After Thursday s string of birdies, including six on the last seven holes, he said he began playing well at the Colonial last week and feels he has found himself again. His play has been so bad that Collins has finished in the top ten only once this season. His 34-31-65 put him a stroke ahead of 1960 British Open champion Kel Nagle of Sidney, Australia, who had a 31-35-66. Al Geiberger of Carlton Oaks, Calif., and Buster Cupit of Fort Smith, Ark., each had 675. Forty of the 89 entered broke par, with six firing 68s and eight players each shooting 69 and 70. Fourteen more have 71. BOWLING American Legion League End of 2nd Half W L Pts.

Big Ten To Sign Rose Bowl Contract LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Only details remain to be wortted out for a new contract ‘ for the Big Ten to furnish a football team annually for the Rose Bowl. The announcement of virtual conclusion of negotiations for the pact was a surprise to the conference Thursday at the opening of its spring meeting, and it started off one of the most productive days ever in the usually drawn out business sessions. TTleTircuit took final action to freeze football schedules at a required seven conference games for each team, with three home games guaranteed*in each school, in a 10-game schedule over-all. Then, in short order, athletic directors and coaches approved. 9-1, a suggested schedule for 1967 and 1968 after minor modificationand 1968 after minor modifications. Only Illinois objected to the schedule, and its objection was based more on the seven-game schedule than the playing dates, rivals or sites. Commissioner Sill Reed announced receipt of a reply from the Athletic Association of Western Universities to a Big Ten proposal, made in January, the two groups draw up a new Rose Bowl contract. The AAWU answer was in the form ot a suggested contract, which Reed said was “substantially the same” as the provisions of the old Big Ten bowl contract with the Pacific Coast Conference, which expired two years ago when the PCC went out of business. The major clauses which the Big Ten wished were included in the AAWU proposal. These were that the contract be continuing with the right of cancellation at any time for either part on notice of 13 months or more, so that two bowl games would intervene, and the right of each conference to limit participation by its members. Thus the Big Ten can maintain its old regulation that no member may play in the bowl two years in succession. Major League Leaders American League Player * Chib G. AB B. H. Pet. Jimenez.

Heat Slowing Down Racers At Speedway INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A heat wave which has gripped Indiana for almost a week was taking its toll today as drivers at the Speedway went through their last full day of practice before the final for the MemoriaWßay 500-mile race. The heat, which produced a 90degree record for the date Thursday and sent the track surface temperature soaring to a record 139 degrees, has prevented many high speed practice runs for the past three days. And the lack of practice has hampered the efforts of drivers to get their cars ready to seek the remaining berths in the 33-car starting field for the race. Thoughts of attempting to reach high speeds were dampened Thursday when veteran Bill Cheesbourg, Tucson, Ariz., and rookie Bob Mathouser, Omaha, Neb., spun into the wall in practice. Neither driver was hurt. Several drivers turned laps in excess of 147 miles per hour but none got into the 148 mph bracket. Among the best performances were those by former winner Jim Rathman, Melbourne, Fla., and Jack Turner, Seattle, both of whom still seek to qualify. Roger McCluskey, Tucson, who already has qualified, also hit an unofficial 147. 1 Former Speedway record holder Jim Hurtubise, Lennox, Calif., hit 146.5 in his first appearance in his own car since smacking the wall a week ago. 1964 National Open At Maryland Course NEW YOFK <UPD — The Congressional Country Club at Bethesda, Md., will be the site of the 1964 National Open golf championship.

Gibson Blanks Giants, Cards Score I*o Win By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Former Globetrotter Bob Gibson has become the “stopper” of the St. Louis Cardinals* pitching staff because he’s discovered a “new pitch.” It’s called a strike. The 6-1, 190-pound right-hander struck out 166 batters last season but had only a 13-12 record largely because he led the National League with 119 walks. He’s shed the “wild man” role this year, however, with his strikeouts outnumbering his walks, 46-17, and his won-lost record improving in corresponding fashion to 5-2. But what’s more important to the Cardinals, i s the fact that Gibson has been the “stopper” of three-game losing streaks! Gibson turned in the most important victory of his big league career Thursday when he beat Billy O’Dell and the San Francisco Giants, 1-0, with a six-hit, two-walk, 10-strikeout perform* ance. The victory snapped both the Cardinals’ three-game losing streak and the Giants’ four-game winning streak. Seere In Ninth The Cardinals scored the game’s only run in the ninth inning on Red Schoendienst’s single, pinchrunner Julian Javier’s stolen base an error and Charlie James’ infield hit. It was only the Giants” third loss of the season in San Francisco’s Candlestick Park. The Los Angeles Dodgers crept to within three games of the firstplace Giants with a 5-4 victory over the Houston Colts, the Philadelphia Phillies downed the Cincinnati Reds, 9-6, and the Milwaukee Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-2, in other NL games. In the American League’s only games, the New York Yankees shaded the Boston Red Sox, 2-1, and the Baltimore Orioles scored a 64 triumph over the Los Angeles Angels. Stars for Dodgers Wally Moon’s bases-filled single in the bottom of the 10th gave the Dodgers their dramatic victory after they rallied for four ninth-inning runs to tie the score at 44. Houston’s Jim Golden had held the Dodgers to two hits until the ninth when Moon’s two-run INSURANCE PROTECTION PLANNED TO MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS COWENS INSURANCE AGENCY 209 Court Street L. A.
