Cincinnati Is Picked Eighth Straight Week By JOE SARGIS UPI Sports Writer NEW YORK (UPI) — Unbeaten Cincinnati, picked as the nation’s -Ne. 1 team for the eighth straight week in the United Press International major college basketball ratings, puts its record on the line Saturday against Illinois in the top game of the season thus far. The Bearcats, who survived a major test last week with a close win over Bradley, were the unanimous choice of the 35-man UPI rating board for the No. 1 spot for the fifth straight week. It also marked the eighth straight week that they had been picked for the top spot. Loyola of Chicago, picked second five consecutive weeks, again failed to make any headway in its attempt to supplant the Bearcats in the No. 1 spot. However, the Ramblers have an excellent chance this week when they play comparatively weak Ohio U. and Santa Clara. The Ramblers are unbeaten through 16 games, while the Bearcats have rolled over 14 straight opponents. Illinois, the Big Ten Conference leader with an overall record of 12-1, was picked third again this week. A victory over the Bearcats, the NCAA champions the last two seasons, would more than likely catapult the Illini into either the No. 1 or 2 positions. There was considerable juggling among the top 10 this week with Duke, the Atlantic Coast Confer ence leader with a 12-2 overall record, replacing Arizona State U. (15-2) in fourth place and Stanford (12-3) advancing from 16th to ninth in the most significant changes. Arizona State U. dropped to fifth. George Tech (12-1) was sixth, Mississippi State (12-3) advanced from ninth to seventh, Wichita (12-4) slipped from seventh to eighth and West Virginia (12-3) advanced from 14th to 10th behind Stanford. Duke and West Virginia tangle on Saturday in another game involving major powers. Neither team is in jeopardy of losing its grip in conference play. Duke tops the ACC with a 7-0 record while West Virginia leads the Southern with an 8-0 record. However, defeat Saturday could hurt in the ratings. losses. This evening’s match is slated to begin at 7 p.m., with a goodsized crowd expected to be on hand. Admission is 25 cents. Marion is one of the more rugged teams on the Decatur schedule, and will bring a talented group to do battle with the Decatur team.

Major League Players Sign New Contracts By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Ever notice what that morning coffee does for some people? Changes their personality completely. It worked wonders Monday for club president Calvin Griffith and first baseman Vic Power of the Minnesota Twins. Shortly after both had their coffee at a civic group breakfast in Minneapolis, Griffith, feeling in a much better mood, jokingly told the gathering he wasn’t sure how to introduce Power because he still hadn’t agreed to terms. “I guess I’ll just have to say, ‘Here is Vic Power,’ ” Said Griffith. Whereupon the Minnesota first baseman leaped up from his seat and said: “Okay, I agree to terms, b ut give me a good introduction.’’ The obliging Griffith got up, made the introduction all over again and really poured if on. That did it. And all it took was that morning coffee. Power, who batted .290 last season, hit 16 home runs and drove in 63 runs, was given a raise that boosted his salary in the neighborhood of $30,000. Dodgers Do Well To the victors belong the spoils, but those Los Angeles Dodgers “losers’’ aren’t doing too badly, either. Relievers Ed Roebuck and Ron Perranoski, two of six Dodger players to sign, received “substantial increases” and none of the other four. Bob Miller, Joe Moeller, Phil Ortega and rookie Bill Singer, were asked to take a cut. Roebuck agreed for an estimated $20,000 and Perranoski for approximately SIB,OOO. General manager Buzzie Bavasi said the club was pursuing its policy of rewarding players who had good seasons, and since the Dodgers enjoyed their greatest attendance in history last year many of the raises are good-sized ones. The Chicago White Sox also signed six of their players and now have a total of 16 under contract. Latest signees were catchers Sherm Lollar and Camilo Carreon and pitchers Mike Joyce, Dom Zanni, Andy Rubilotta and Jim Norris. Donovan Rewarded Dick Donovan, a 20-game winner, agreed to terms with the Cleveland Indians after receiving a sizeable pay boost, while veteran southpaw Don Mossi, who won 11 games last year, signed his 1963 contract with the Detroit Tigers. Donn Clendenon, expected to be Pittsburgh’s regular first baseman, returned his signed contract to the Pirates as did pitcher Bob Veale, who set an International League record with Columbus last Aug. 10 by striking out 22 batters in a game against Buffalo. The Pirates have satisfied 18 of their players so far. Infielder Wayne Causey became the seventh member of the Kansas City A’s to okay terms, and the Washington Senators corralled three rookie pitchers — Jim Hannan, Jack Jenkins and Jim Duckworth. Signed By Vikings Ron Vanderkelen Is MINNEAPOLIS (UPI) — Quarterback Ron Vanderkelen of Wisconsin, Rose Bowl hero, signed a one-year contract today with the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League. The salary was not disclosed.

Maury Wills Is Voted As Top Athlete ROCHESTER, N.Y. (UPD— Maury Wills, all decked out in a new SIO,OOO diamond-studded belt, said today he might try to break his all-time record of 104 stolen bases this year. “It depends on a number of things,” Wills said. “I’ll have to play it by ear.” The 29-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers’ shortstop, present with the Hickok belt Monday night after being voted the “professional Athlete of the Year” for 1962 by the nation’s sportswriters and broadcasters. drew a remendous ovation at the Rochester Radio-Press Club dinner. Glossing over his 104 stolen bases last year —a total that esclipsed the previous modern one-season record of 96 set by Ty Cobb — Wills, who batted .299, said he would have been prouder had he won the National League batting crown. “If I led the league m oatting, even if with only a .290 average, I would be more proud of that than I am of my stolen base record,” he said. Wills was a comfortable winner of the belt over golfer Arnold Palmer, who finished second, and fullback Jim Taylor of the Green Bay Packers, who wound up third. The fleet Dodger shortstop received 56 first-place votes and a total of 231 points in the balloting to 41 first-place votes and 180 points for Palfher, who was the 1960 winner. Taylor had 12 firstplace votes and 96 points. Without making it sound like bragging, Wills said he could have stolen even more bases last year but started slow. “I had no intention of going for the record during the early part of the season,” he explained, “but I started stealing bases because our attack for a long while was poor and it became a must for me to get on base, steal and score on a single.” Ted Luckenbill Is Placed On Waivers SAN FRANCISCO (UPD — The San Francisco Warriors of the National Basketball Association have placed forward Ted Luckenbill on their waiver list. The former Houston University star averaged only 3.1 points in 20 games with the Warriors this season.

St. Joe Wins City Series Title Monday A high-scoring fourth quarter enabled St. Joseph to defeat the Junior high, 29-17, Monday night, and cop the seventh and eighth grade city series in two straight games. By winning the first two games of the best two-of-three series, St. Joe receives possession of the Wemhpff memorial trophy until next year. The contest was nip and tuck all the way until St. Joe ripped in 13 points in the final period, nearly doubling their score, to coast to the victory and the city series title. St. Joe held a scant 5-4 first period lead, and the Junior high quintet held a one-point lead at . halftime, 10-9. The Junior high scored only two points in the third period, however, and St. Joe took a 16-12 advantage entering the last quarter. Tom Lose led the winner’s scor ing with nine tallies, while John Schultz and Dave Alberding scored seven each and Greg Litchfield chipped in with six for all the St. Joe scoring. Tom Hower was tops for Junior high with six points, while Lon Hawkins and Nick Smitley scored four and Bill Brown three for all the Junior high scoring.

The on the neutral Coliseum floor at Fort Wayne Monday night avenged last year’s 115-90 loss to the Boilermakers. With a pressing height advantage and balanced scoring, Notre Dame took the lead about midway through the first half, rolled to a 55-40 lead at the intermission and was never threatened in the final 20 minutes. Two sophomores led the scoring —Walt Sahm for Notre Dame and Bob Purkhiser of Purdue each canned 28 points. Notre Dame had four other players in double-fig-ures, including Bob Reed with 18. Mel Garland and Ron Hughes each pumped in 14 for Purdue, now 5-9 for the campaign. FOR TWINS, MAYBE? — Double-headedMariboustork at the Paris Zoo is a cameramade ornithological oddity.

Stadium Issue Torrid Topic At Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH (UPl)—The controversy over a proposed $23 million municipal stadium was in a state of suspension today despite a pledge by the Pittsburgh Pirates that they are capable of meeting their financial obligations. A meeting between skeptical Allegheny County Commissioners and directors of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, who planned the project, was at least two days off. The stadium issue has become a torrid topic here in the past three days since a suggestion by Democratic Commissioners William D. McClelland and John E. McGrady that other methods of financing be explored. The county has been called upon for $5.7 million to help underwrite the project, which will cost a total of $45 million including land acquisition. Voice Misgivings McClelland and McGrady said they had misgivings about the plan and wanted to be certain the stadium’s operators, the Pirates, would be able to meet rental and bond payments. They also wanted assurances the club would share with the city and county any excess in profits over what is now anticipated. McClelland and McGrady whose opinion is not shared by the minority Republican commissioner, John M. Walker, said they would meet “in the next day or two” with directors of the Allegheny Conference. Monday, Pirate general manager Joe L. Brown answered the two commissioners* doubts. Brown said the club is contributing $2 million toward a bond for which it will not receive “a penny interest until the year 2006.” He said it has agreed to a 40-year lease at $625,000 a year.

or $1,125,000 a year if the parking concession is added, which will amortize the entire cost of the project. First Os Kind Brown said this amortization by private enterprise will mark “the first time in the history of the United States’ that a municipal stadium has been constructed on such a basis. “At the end of the 40-year lease the stadium will have been paid for in full and the public will own free and clear the stadium and 83.5 acres of land,” Brown said. The Pirate GM also said the club will be paying nearly “twice as high” an attendance percentage as any other club in the major leagues. “Based on the rentals paid in 1961 for public owned stadia,” Brown said, “the Pittsburgh club will pay $788,500 more than Milwaukee and $933,500 more than Kansas City paid.” He said the $500,000 annual parking fees are included in this figure. Loss Os Teams Refusal of the commissioners to commit funds to the project would kill the stadium and force the Pirates and Pittsburgh Steel ers to move to other cities. Brown said. Both clubs now play at Forbes Field, which is owned by the University of Pittsburgh and destined for demolition as part of the institution’s expansion program. Target date for completion of the new stadium is 1966. The Pirates’ lease at Forbes Field expires at the end of the next baseball season. "We’re sure we will be able to stay here beyond that time,” Brown said. “I hope, however, we never will be confronted with the problem of moving to another town for lack of facilities.” College Basketball Notre Dame 96, Purdue 86. lowa 60, Michigan State 59.
