Indiana Edges Purdue Monday Night, 74-73 CHICAGO (UPI) — Purdue and Northwestern, the tail-enders in the Big Ten Conference basketball race, had their brief moments Monday night before yielding to conference powers Indiana and Ohio State. In a game billed as “no contest” Indiana twice had to overcome 9-point deficits and rely on sharp free throw shooting to defeat 10th place Purdue 74-73. Ohio State needed a late spurt and a 35-point performance by Gary Bradds to trip ninth place Northwestern 7270. The Boilermakers and Wildcats switch opponents Saturday, with Ohio State playing at Purdue and Northwestern at Indiana. Other league contests this weekend send Michigan to Michigan State and Minnesota to Wisconsin. Indiana maintained its undefeated conference mark largely on the scoring of Jimmy Rayl, who scored 25 points, making good on 11 out of 12 attempts at the free throw line. The Wildcats led 15-5 early in the game and 55-46 shortly after the start of the second half. Much-heralded Bill Jones, 6-8 Purdue sophomore, played his first varsity game and wound up with 22 points, high for the Boilermakers. Purdue, nnw 0-6 in the conference, outscored Indiana 33-26 in field goals but connected on only 7 of 16 free throw attempts, compared to 22 of 27 for the Hoosiers. Northwestern led OSU 60-57 with four minutes remaining, but Bradd scored seven points to put the Buckeyes in the lead for good, then stole the ball with 30 seconds remaining to protect the margin. Rich Falk scored 32 points for Northwestern. The victory was the 4th straight for OSU at home. Gary Player Leads Golf Money Winners DUNEDIN, Fla.

THE DtCATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

17 Chosen For Pro Football Hall Os Fame CANTON, Ohio (UPI) — Jim Thorpe, Red Grange, Bronko Nagurski and Sammy Baugh, possibly the greatest “dream” backfield the game has ever known, were among the first 17 immortals voted into the National Professional Football Hall of Fame today. Also honored for their playing ability were backs Dutch Clark, Johnny (Blood) McNally and Ernie Nevers, center Mel Hein, tackles Pete (Fats) Henry and Cal Hubbard and end Don Hutson. The six officials named for the Hall for helping to guide the pro sport from its original role as a stepchild of the college game to its modern popularity were former NFL Commissioners Bert Bell and Joe Carr; George Halas, founder of the Chicago Bears; Curley Lambeau, founder of the Green Bay Packers; Tim Mara, founder of the New York Giants, and George Preston Marshall, founder of the Washington Redskins. The 17 — all picked unanimously by a national board of selectors — will be enshrined in a hall now under construction here where the National Football League was founded on Sept. 17, 1920. Five of the honored men are deceased—Bell, Carr, Henry, Mara and Thorpe. The announcement of the first group to enter the Hall was made by Dick McGann, director of the National Professional Football Hall of Fame, who commented: “These are the milestone men of pro football. Their deeds and dogged faith wrote the history of this great game.” Meet Each Year The board of selectors will meet annually to consider | nominations for new members, with the next meeting scheduled for the eve of the 1963 NFL championship game. No set number will be chosen nor will it always be necessary for a man to be selected unanimously. Thorpe, Grange, Nagurski and Baugh are perhaps the most famous backs in football history—and undoubtedly would have formed the “dream” backfield to end ’em all if they ever had performed as a unit. Thorpe, 6-1 and 205 pounds, joined the Canton Bulldogs in 1915 and played pro football until he was almost 40 years old. A famed all-around athlete with the Carlisle Indians, he was a United States decathlon and pentathlon hero in the 1912 Olympic Games. Grange, the famed “Galloping Ghost of the Ulini," was persuaded by Halas to turn pro at the end of the 1925 college season. At the time college coaches strongly opposed players turning pro but Grange and the Bears went on a historic 17-day tour climaxed by a game that drew 68.000 persons at New York’s Polo Grounds. The tour was perhaps the greatest single factor in establishing pro football as a “big time” sport in the public mind. Stars For Bears Nagurksi, a 6-foot, 2-inch, 238pound All America tackle and fullback for the University of Minnesota, was the personification of the bone-crushing fullback from 1930 to 1937 with the Bears. He helped to lead the Bears to the first official league championship in 1933, and in 1934 helped power them to 13 straight victories and a perfect regular-season record. Baugh, brilliant whip-armed passer from Texas Christian, completed a league record of 1,709 passes in 16 yards with the Redskins. His passes gained 3,016 yards—a league mark until it was surpassed in 1961 by Bobby Layne of the Pittsburgh Steelers. A single-wing tailback in his college and early pro days, Baugh also was a great punter and in his later days successfully converted to a T-quarterback. Clark, a super star at Colorado was a triple threat quarterback for tiie Portsmouth Spartans and Detroit Lions from 1931 to 1938, and one of the greatest field generals and drop kickers in the game’s history. McNally, who played under the name “Johnny Blood,” played for five teams, including the Packers and Steelers, and is remembered as one of the most colorful players in pro history. ; Holds Record Nevers, an All-America at Stanford, holds the league record of scoring 40 points in one game for the Chicago Cardinals and ranks with Nagurski as one of the greatest fullbacks of all time.

Muncie Wrestlers Here On Thursday The Decatur high school wrestling team will tangle with its second opponent from Muncie Thursday evening, when Muncie South travels to Decatur Thursday evening. Although a first-year school, the southside team will bring a host of experienced wrestlers to Decatur. The local grapplers lost a liard-fought battle to Muncie Central earlier in the season. Students at Muncie South are transfers from Central, and thus the wrestling team members have had previous experience in the sport. First, however, coach Gary Giessler’s outfit must meet Manchester on the latter\ mat, in a Wednesday engagement. The Decatur team owns a four win, four loss record for the season, and will be looking for its fifth victory at Manchester in a 5 p.m. match Wednesday. Thursday's match is cheduled to begin at 7 p.m. in the Decatur gym, with the usual 25-cent admission and a large crowd expected to be on hand. Gaspar Ortega Wins Over Charley Scott BALTIMORE (UPI) — Mexican Gaspar Ortega explained today he had “put the pressure” on welterweight contender Charley Scott of Philadelphia and scored a unanimous upset decision in their return 10-rounder at the Civic Center Monday night. Ortega, weighing 148% pounds to Scott’s 14844, avenged Scott’s unanimous win at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Jan. 6,1962. College Basketball Indiana 74, Purdue 73.

Henry and Hubbard, who played at about 250 pounds each in their primes, are considered the great est defensive tackles of the league’s early days. Hutson, a 6-1, 180-pounder from Alabama, set a league record by catching 489 passes during his career. Teaming with Arnie Kerber and Cecil Isbell, he gave the Packers a brilliant passing attack. Hutson ran the 100 yards in 9.6 seconds and had remarkable change of pace in the open field. Carr was pro football’s first czar from 1921 to 1939; Bell set the NFL on its post-World War II course between 1946 and 1959, and Halas, Lambeau, Mara and Marshall set their own clubs on firm foundations and battled over the years for hundreds of improvements that contributed to the growth of the sport.

Georgia Tech Rally Defeats Kentucky Five By MARTIN LADER UPI Sport* Writer If the mark of a champion is winning the close ones, you can pass the crown to Georgia Tech. Known primarily for its engineering courses, this proud school deep in the heart of Dixie will have more need of doctors to treat its gasping supporters if the basketball team continues at its present pace. The Yellow Jackets were up to their old heart-stopping tactics Monday night before last-minute heroics by sophomore Ron Scharf produced an important 66-62 victory over Kentucky. The win left Georgia Tech in undisputed possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference and established the Engineers as favorites to win their first league title since 1938. The other major action Monday night was centered in the Big Ten Conference where Indiana remained close on the heels of firstplace Illinois by beating Purdue, 74-73, and defending champion Ohio State kept its hopes alive by edging Northwestern, 72-70. Sixth In Nation Georgia Tech, which had a losing record (10-16) last season, today boasts a 15-1 mark and ranks sixth among the nation's major schools. This unexpected transformation hasn’t been easy. Os the 15 wins, 10 of them have been decided by five points or less and six were decided by just one or two points. But whenever the game went down to the final basket, it was Georgia Tech that had the winning hand. Typical of Tech’s progress this season was Monday night’s contest against perennially powerful Kentucky, winner of a record 20 league titles since 1933. Playing on their home court at Atlanta, the Engineers found themselves in a 62-62 deadlock with less than two minutes to play. Scharf then settled matters all by himself as he hit a jump shot to give Georgia Tech the lead and then 15 seconds later stole a Kentucky ball and dribbled the length of the court to put in the clincherT” Four men hit in double figures for the Yellow Jackets, led by
