Bishop Luers at Monmouth Auburn at Berne (3 p.m.) Tourney Sites Are Announced ByIHSAA By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—lt’s the smallest field in 40 years, but Indiana's 53rd annual high school basketball tourney in all probability will be a record-buster—at least from the standpoint of attendance and receipts. And since it takes money—a lot of it—to run the state’s schoolboy ahtletic program, it’s a cinch school officials from the IHSAA . on down are just waiting for the i dough roll in. Die records appeared virtually assured if only because 3,221 more seats are available from the sec- \ tionals to the semi-state tourneys. The IHSAA late Thursday also announced nine tourney site changes—seven on the sectional ' level and two regional—but most , of them were routine. However, Terre Haute bagged a regional for the first time in at ■ least 30 years—for the first time ■ in the memory of IHSAA officials. ' That regional was held in Martinsville last year. 1 Use New Gym First-round changes were Clay ’ City to Spencer, Clinton to Rock- ' ville, Covington to Williamsport, Franklin to Whiteland, Knox to Winamac, and Portland to Hartford City." Warsaw has the only new high school gym being utilized. The other regional switch *was Greencastle to Covington. The IHSAA, as previously advertised, said a field of 639 was expected to start firing Feb. 27 for the title won by Evansville Bosse last time. The total is 21 less than last year, thanks to consolidations and discontinuance of schools. It is also the smallest since 1923 when 596 teams competed. Only three schools were listed as first-time participants—Evansville Harrison, Muncie South and Hammond Gavit, which was a modified school last year and thus ineligible to compete. Total seating capacity for the 85 tourneys was announced at 479,707, compared with 476,486 last year when 1,535,256 fans forked over $1,044,850 to watch the , month-long grind. Capacity Up The 64 sectionals have a seating capacity of 297,431, compared with 296,109 a year ago; the 16 regionals 121,060, compared with 119,203, and the four semi-states 46,273, compared with 46,231. There was no change in the state finals seating capacity at the Butler Fieldhouse here — still 14,943. So each sectional has a minimum of eight teams, 10 schools were transferred to different tourneys. They were: South Whitley and Sidney, from Columbia City to Manchester. Stendal and Spurgeon, from Huntingburg to Boonville. South Caston, from Logansport to Peru. Rochester, from’ Plymouth to Peru. English, from Salem to Tell City."

Stan Musial, Al Kaline Sign 1963 Contracts By United Press International The St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Dgers have shelled out $122,000 for two players and consider it a “steal’’ because the men who will receive the money are Stan Musial and Al Kaline. Musial, amazingly fit and looking much younger than 42, signed his 22nd contract with the Cardinals for a reported $70,000, the same salary he made last year. And the 28-year-old Kaline, who was given a raise by the Dgers, signed his 11th contract with them Thursday for an estimated $52,000. The Boston Red Sox-also signed four of their key players in pitcher Dick Radatz, shortstop Ed Bressoud, outfielder Lou Clinton and catcher Bob Tillman. Just Ran Mile Musial rather startled newsmen who showed up at the Cardinals’ offices for his signing by revealing he had just come in from running a mile “just for exercise” and that he might even decide to play again in 1964 if he hits .300 this year. Stan the Man batted .330 the past season. Among other records he needs only three more extra base hits to tie Babe Ruth’s record. Only four pounds over his usual playing weight of 180, Musial said he thought he “can play 100 games easily” this year. And if his hitting stands up, he said “I would think of playing” again the year after this one. Cardinal owner August A. Busch, Jr., repeated there would be a job for Musial in the club’s front office after he hangs up his spikes for good. Kaline was as happy over his contract as Musial was over his. “Considering the circumstances,” said the Detroit outfielder, “it’s the best I’ve ever had.” Refers to Collarbone The circumstance Kaline undoubtedly referred to was the broken collarbone he suffered while making a diving catch to save a game at Yankee Stadium last May 26. He was out of action almost two months but he still batted .304 and hit 28 homers. “My arm feels as good as it ever did,” Kaline said. “In fact, it might be stronger because I worked harder this winter to get it in shape.” Kaline said that a couple of fingers on his right hand were numb even at the end of the season, “but on our trip to Japan the hand started coming around again.” The Red Sox’ signings were announced during the first showing of the World Series’ movie in Boston. Among the viewers was Giant pitcher Jack Sanford, who lives in Duxbury, Miss. Purdue Coach Foresees Tough Season Ahead LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPD—Purdue, lacking height and minus All-America Terry Dischinger, is playing ignore pattern basketball to get the job done this season. - Eyen so, noarh .Ray Fridyindicated the Boilermakers will have a tough time matching last year’s 17-7 record and third-place finish in the Big Ten. Still, he said he was “well pleased” with the- team’s pre-con-ference play, which ended Wednesday night with an 83-79 victory 1 over Drake and a 5-4 record. “I thought the record might be 4-5,” said Eddy, “but the beys have done an exceptional job—especially against Drake.” With nothing but 14 conference foes plus Notre Dame left on the schedule, it could be a long, cold winter, said Eddy. “We don’t have a big man to get the ball off the boards,” he said. “For the past three seasons we pretty much depended on Dischinger getting the job done for us. Without him, we are forced to go to more pattern basketball.” Center Tom Pritchard is Purdue’s tallest starter at 6-6, and that’s hot very tall in these days of skyscraper rebounders. “We just don’t have it in the height department, but we hope to offset this with speed and shooting,” said Eddy. In nine games, Purdue’s shooting from the flooF has averaged about 46 per cent, and that should be good enough to win most

Adams Central Site Os Sectional Meet Die eight Adams county high school basketball teams will meet in the sectional tourney at the Adams Central gym the last week in February, according to tourney sites announced Thursday night by the Indiana high school athletic association. It will be the ninth year in a row for the sectional to be held at Adams Central. The local sectional has been a strictly Adams county affair since 1940 after construction of the new Decatur high school. The Berne Bears are defending sectional champions, having won for the last three years. ! games. “Overall, we have better shooting and that’s probably a good ■. thing, ’’ ’said Eddy. He figured in : some games his boys will get only i one shot-at a time at the basket, i mostly from the outside. Eddy has balanced shooting, led by junior guard Mel Garland, who ■ is averaging better than 20 points, including a season high of ■ 30 against Drake. Sophomore Ron Hughes is hitting around 15 a : game and soph Rod Hicks and 1 junior Phil Dawkins about 10 ■ apiece. Garland, Hughes, Pritchard, : Dawkins and Bob Purkhiser com- : prise the starting unit and all will I be back next year. All told, Eddy' plans to use 8 1 or 9 players a game, with the : strategy built around setting up : screens for good shots. The sysi tern worked well Tor Purdue : against both Butler and Drake. ■ Eddy figured Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio State will be ■ the top threats for the Big Ten I title and his boys get a crack at 1 one of these four in their home loop opener against Wisconsin Sat--1 urday. He wouldn’t. predict how : his club will finish except that 1 it’ll be a tough season, “but we’ll surprise someone along the line.”

DHSWrestlers Score Shutout Al Manchester Decatur high school's wrestling team ramped to-its . third win of the 1962-63 season Thursday evening, pinning a 60-0 "shutout” on Manchester, at the latter's gymnasium. The match was all Decatur, as all twelve local wrestlers pinned their Manchester opponents in the convincing display of power. The “shutout” win was even more convincing than the 55-5 score by which Decatur whipped Manchester here two weeks ago. Only one of the Decatur winners, Manny Ybarra, needed all three periods in which to pin Ills opponent. 3-1 Record The win gives Decatur a three win, one loss record for the curI rent season. Next Thursday, January 10, they will tackle their toughest opponent of the year, as coach Gary Giessler’s lads entertain rugged Muncie Cent al at the Decatur gym. The Decatur team is also entered in the New Haven four-way invitational tourney, to be held Saturday, January 12, at the Bulldog gym.

Tom Arnold of Decatur gained “sweet vengeance” in the 154 pound division when he needed only 55 seconds to pin Howard of the host school. Arnold Quick Victor Arnold was the only Decatur wrertler who failed to win in the first meet with Manchester, but quicldy erased that memory Thursday evening, ending h : s match quickly for his varsity win. Dave Adams, second man on the mat for Decatur, needed only 1:27 of the first period to pin his op . ponent, and Alan Kalver went into the second period, but used; only 30 seconds in the period to pin Ron Bancuila. Gary Myers pinned his opponent with only 38 seconds gone in the second period, and then Ybarra built up a commanding lead in points before pinning Ben Bumgardner with 1:37 remaining in his match. Kenny Hill of Decatur pinned Spacy of Manchester at the 1:14 mark of the second period, after Neil Butcher had pinned his op ponent with only 18 seconds gone in the second period.
