Cardinals Win By Lone Point Over Warren The Geneva Cardinals, by edging Warren, 50-49, at the Geneva gym Saturday night, pulled back up to the .500 mark on the season with a record of five victories and five defeats. The Cardinals worked to a 10point margin at the first quarter, 19-9, and maintained this lead at the half, 35-25. The Huntington county team cut this lead to six points, 43-37, at the third period, and the Cardinals barely staved off the invaders in the final eight minutes of play. Mike Newcomer, of the victorious Cardinals, topped all shotmakers with 24 points, but he was the only Cardinal in double figures. Poulson led Warren with 15, and Boxell and Stucky each counted 11.

y A Big Difference X’s WIFE is in the hospital. Like a good husband, X calls Florist A and orders roses to be delivered to his wife. Z a friend of X’s wife, calls Myers Florist and also orders roses for X’s wife. BOTH ORDERS were delivered the same day. Those from Florist A were poorly arranged in a paper mache pot, while the Myers’ roses were carefully arranged in an attractive glass vase. X NOTICES that his roses from Florist A seem a little blue and faded, but X’s big surprise came the following day when 'g he found his roses from Florist A already wilted. Not one rose opened! The roses from Myers lasted several days longer. X HAS ONE consolation. The roses from Florist A cost a little less than those from Myers Florist. OF COURSE this story is fiction. It didn’t happen, and won’t happen to you, if you always order our “Flowers that Satisfy.”

Four Players Are Named To Hall Os Fame NEW YORK (UPD—Sam Rice and Eppa Rixey displayed happiness mixed with bitterness and 87-year-old Elmer Flick said, “I figured I was too old for anybody to remember me.” That was the reaction of three of baseball’s old-timers who were elected Sunday to the Hall of Fame along with John Clarkson, a National League pitcher before the turn of the century who died 53 years ago. Rice, repeatedly passed over in past balloting by the main body 'of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, finally won the nod from the Hall of Fame’s 12man veteran’s committee. He and Rixey were elected from a category of players who retired between 1931 and 1943. Clarkson and Flick were chosen from another category of oldtimers who retired before 1931. Finally Make It Rice and Rixey both admitted -they were “very happy” over their selection. However, they wondered out loud why they didn’t rate entry to the Hall years ago. “I was disappointed at the number of times I had lost out in the voting,” declared Rice, 70, a star outfielder with the Washington Senators from 1916 to 1933 who had a lifetime batting average of .322. During his 19 seasons in the American League, he collected 2,987 hits but hit only 34 home runs. Rixey, 71, “former National League pitcher, also admitted he "was getting a little discouraged” after past rebuffs. In addition to his advanced age. Flick attributed his failure to gain the Hall of Fame earlier to the fact that "I never had anybody pulling for me in these elections.” The former outfielder said he was informed Os his selection by Branch Rickey, a member of the selection committee and a onetime American League rival.. "Rickey remembers me when I was good,” Flick said, “and I’m sure he’s the one responsible for getting me in. I honestly didn’t think I had a chance.” Plays Both Leagues Flick, who broke into the majors with Philadelphia of the National League in 1898 and later was sold to Cleveland of the American League, compiled a lifetime batting average of .315. Although Rice possessed the best credentials of the four new members. Rixey wasn’t exactly a slouch. The six-foot-five southpaw, who was the tallest major league player of his time, pitched in the National League for 21 years, winning 266 games and losing 251. Clarkson, a rubber-armed righthanded pitcher, won 53 games and lost 16 for Chicago of the National League in 1884. He pitched a nohitter against Providence of the old NL the following year and retired in 1894 with a lifetime record of 328 victories against 176 losses. He died at the age of 47 in 1909. - S Indianapolis Tourney Washington 77, Attucks 64. Tech 75, Shortridge 50. Washington 56, Tech 55 (final).

Cincinnati And Loyola Extend Winning Ways By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer It will take something of a major upset in the next few weeks to prevent Cincinnati or Loyola of Chicago from completing the regular college basketball season with unblemished records. The two standouts of the 196263 campaign went right on winning Saturday night, top-ranked Cincinnati turning back thirdranked Illinois, 62-53, and secondranked Loyola beating Santa Clara, 82-72, and at the rate they’re going it appears a cinch they’ll be battling it out for the national championship in the NCAA tournament in March. Cincinnati has won 33 straight games over the last two seasons with nine remaining on the regular schedule. The Bearcats are at home for two of those games this week, hosting Drake on Thursday and St. Louis on Saturday. Loyola, with a 19-0 mark and boasting the top offensive unit of any major school, also Will have friendly surroundings for two contests this week when it meets Washington and lowa. Following this, the Ramblers will have six games remaining. Oddly enough, the chief obstacle for both Cincinnati and Loyola will be the same team—-eighth-ranked Wichita. The Bearcats travel to Wichita Feb. 16 and Loyola entertains the Wheatshockers March 2. Illinois is idle this week, but the remainder of the top 10 teams all see action following the completion of mid-year examinations. Fourth-ranked Duke, which registered its most impressive victory of the season by routing lOth-ranked West Virginia, 111-71, will attempt to follow through against Atlantic Coast Conference rivals South Carolina on Tuesday and North Carolina on Saturday. The Mountaineers play three times, facing Furnaan, Florida and Pittsburgh. In other Saturday games involving the top teams, sixthranked Georgia Tech defeated Tennessee, 73-69; seventh-ranked Mississippi State was upset by Memphis State, 71-65; and Wichita bombed the Air Force, 77-45.

Jackie Burke Is Winner Os Lucky Tourney SAN FRANCISCO (UPD—Practice makes perfect for some people. But it ruins the golf game of Jackie Burke—so he quit practicing and won the $50,000 Lucky International golf tournament Sunday. Burke and runnerup Don January, a pair of talented Texans, headed for the $50,000, 90-hole marathon Desert Classic at Palm Springs today with $13,500 in their pockets after finishing one-two. Burke, closing with a great four-under-par 67 on the final found, had a 276 score and collected $9,000. January, who had started the final round one shot in front of the field, had a closing 71 for 279 and $4,600. “And we needed the money,” cracked Jackie after the victory. “Between us we have eight kids to feed.” Burke, who will be 40 years old Tuesday, has been haunted by a hand injury for years. It finally forced him to give up the tour for about half of each year. “It’s so bad that I can’t practice at all or it gets sore,” said Jackie. “So I just quit practicing and take my chances in the tournaments.” He hasn’t won since capturing the Buick Open at Flint, Mich., in 1961. when he also picked up a $9,000 first prize. But he played in only 21 tournaments last year, and he plans to play in even less this year. Arnold Palmer, in a rut of pars, didn’t get a birdie for 30 holes until the 18th Sunday. Even the fabled “Arnie’s Army” deserted him and he finished with a 74 for a 285 and sßoo—far back of the leaders. Charley Sifford, who four-putted the first green, George Knudson and Paul Harney each wound up with 280 add each collected $2,633. Dave Marr finished with a 65 for 281 to tie with Miller Barber, who had a 69, and they each collected $2,000. Gary Player, who finished with a hot 64 for 283, won $1,262 and retained his lead as the tour’s leading money winner with $10,702 to his credit.
