Wrestlers Are Defeated By Muncie South Decatur high school’s wrestlers gave a rugged Muncie South team all they could handle Thursday evening, before the local grapplers finally bowed by a 27-17 score. The Decatur team wound up its home portion of the schedule with Thursday’s match, and put on a fine show before a good-sized crowd of fans at the Decatur gymnasium. Coach Gary Giessler’s crew copped five of the 12 matches, and lost a couple of decisions by slim margins against the well-experienc-ed Muncie outfit. — The loss evened Decatur’s record for the season at six wins and six losses, with a pair of matches on the road remaining before the sectional Saturday, Feb. 9. Impressive Record The six win, six loss record is quite impressive considering the fact that this is only the second year for the sport in Decatur, and the rugged schedule the locals must compete against. As usual, Decatur jumped into an early lead in the match, but could not hold onto the margin. Coach Giessler was very pleased with the fine performance put on by his lads in the final home match, against a very good Muncie team. Corral Wins Again One of the big notes pt joy for Decatur came in the first match, when 95-pounder Mark Corral remained unbeaten, chalking up his 11th victory of the season wittxXit a loss. Dave Adams also chalked up another win, his tenth against two losses, in the 103-pound class, fought 6-3 decision over Pierce, when he came up with a hardfought 6-3 decision over Pierce Alan Kalver, the third member of Decatur’s “Talented Trio,” ran into a “real tough cookie” in Muncie's Davis and lost a 7-1 decision, but the victories by Corrall and Adams boosted the “Trio’s” record to a terrific 31-4 for the season. Myers Winner Gary Myers came up with a splendid performance in the 120pound class, when be decisioned Patterson 2-1. Myers and Patterson really put on a battle, with a reverwd in the second period giving Myers two points and the victory. Trailing 9-3 on the scoreboard, Muncie went to work and finally took a 14-9 lead. Kerr pinned Decatur's Manny Ybarra in the second period, while Mace won a 6-2 decision over- Rog Conrad and Quackinbush took a hardfought 4-2 decision from Neil Butcher. Sam Baumann, who wad slowed down considerably in recent weeks, came up with a performance that he is capable of repeating in the 145-pound division, and it earned him a slim 1-0 decision over Davison. Baumann, who could be one of the best in the area, escaped from a hold in the third period for his point, and the victory. Kenny Hill of Decatur ran up a big lead early against Isom at Muncie, but finally wore down and was pinned in the second period. The pin expanded the visitor’s lead from 14-12 to 19-12. Lehman Edged Deane Lehman also came up with a fine performance in the 165-pound class, but lost a 1-0 decision to Childress, rugged Muncie Negro who has yet to taste

Cincinnati Is Hard-Pressed To Beat Drake By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer Cincinnati boasts two formidable weapons in its bid for an unprecedented third straight NCAA championship—not only does it have the best college basketball team in the nation but today it also must own the luckiest. The Bearcats took a 33-game winning streak into Thursday night's game against Drake, and it should have been little more than a workout for the country’s top-ranked squad on its home court. Instead, unheralded Drake fought fiercely for every point and dragged Cincinnati into an overtime period before falling to the Bearcats’ superior might by 65-60. The consequences probably would have teen more serious for the below-par Cincinnati team if it had been up against one of the more powerful foes on its tough schedule.

Loyola of Chicago, ranked No. 2, kept pace with the Bearcats and maintained its hopes for an unbeaten season by routing Washington University of St. Louis, 118-58, for its 19th straight win. Kentucky Nips Georgia In key conference games Thursday night, Kentucky overcame Georgia, 74-67, and Wake Forest took sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference by beating South Carolina, 54-45. George Wilson was the individual hero for Cincinnati, registering five of his team’s seven points in overtime. Tom Thacker, who led the Bearcats' comeback in the final minutes of the second half, lost his chance of glory as he blew a free throw attempt with six seconds remaining. Drake, which went into the contest with a mediocre 7-8 record, led 56-53 with 3:12 to go, but missed its chance to record the biggest upset of the campaign as Thacker put in five straight points to produce a 58-58 tie. Thacker then grabbed a Drake rebound and helped Cincinnati freeze the ball for a minute and one-half, but he missed the foul shot that would have ended the game in regulation time. Wilson scored 20 points and Thacker added 18 for the Bearcats, who are now 16-0 for the season and 5-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Loyola started slowly against Washington, trailing 14-7 in the opening minutes, but erupted for a 31-5 scoring spurt late in the half to assume a 51-27 intermission bulge. Hunter Led Scorers Leslie Hunter of the Ramblers led all scorers with 22 and Jerry Harkness got 18. It marked the ninth time that Loyola has lone over the 100-point mark this season. Kentucky had a tough struggle before finally subduing Georgia with a hot streak in the final five minutes. The win kept alive the Wildcats’ hopes for another Southeastern Conference title and was paced by the efforts of Don Rolfes and Scotty Baesler, who scored 15 points each. Wake Forest used its height advantage to good effect in overcoming South Carolina’s slowdown tactics and increase its Atlantic Coast record to 8-0. a halfgame better than third-ranked Duke. Dave Wiedeman paced the Deacons with 14 points. Niagara kept in step with Cincinnati and Loyola as the only major unbeatens by toppling Georgetown of Washington, D.C., 89-75, and scores of other top games included: Penn State 75 Carnegie Tech 64, Bowling Green ® St. John’s 55, Providence 84 Dayton 72, St. Louis 73 Marquette 62 and Tulsa 68 Arkansas 66.

Oscar Vitt Is Dead After Long Illness OAKLAND, Calif. (UPI) — Private funeral services were scheduled today for Oscar Vitt, the storm-tossed baseball manager whose driving tactics caused a revolt of the “Cleveland cry babies” in 1940. Vitt, 73, died Thursday at Merritt Hospital following a long illness. He had been undergoing treatment for a stroke and heart condition. His passing ended a 52 year career in baseball which included a sock in the eye, a pennant as manager of the greatest minor league team ever assembled, and a smashing blow to his pride. The sock in the eye was a natural reaction by Julius Wera, one time third baseman for the old San Francisco Seals, who took an unmerciful riding one day from Vitt when the latter managed Salt Lake City. As Walter Mails, the former Cleveland and Pacific Coast League hurling star recalls it, Wera walked over to Vitt at the end of an .inning and belted him. In 1937, Vitt managed the Newark Bears to the International League pennant and they won it by 25% games. This was the club that was loaded with such future New York Yankee stars as Charley Keller, Joe Gordon and Spud Chandler. The group then beat Columbus of the American Association in the Little World Series after losing the first three games. Vitt moved up to take over the Cleveland Indians the following year and two seasons later came the smasher —a revolt by the team in which one of his favorite players, Bob Feller, was a leader. Vitt always was known for his dripping sarcasm which he dished out to ballpayers whom he felt needed it. “You guys ain’t fit to wear Newark's sweatshirts,” was one barb that Vitt reputedly hurled at the club. Such Indians as Feller, Ben Chapman, Johnny Allen and Hal Trosky did not like the way they were handled. As a result, an liman delegation of players called on club owner Alva Bradley in 1940 just after the team had returned home from a poor road

Bradley went to bat for Vitt l and kept him on a club that in- 1 stantly was doubled the “Cleve-1 land cry babies.” But the support of the owner never could make up for the defection of Feller, Vitt's prized firebailer. Jack Nicklaus Is Leader At Palm Springs PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPD— Jack Nicklaus, ailing National Open champion, is in the perfect position to win his first golf tour-’

nament of the young 1963 cam- I I paign. He not only leads the Palm 1 Springs golf classic going into the third round today, but he’s sick. 1 And sickness means success in golf. The worse Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan and others felt, the better they played golf and Nicklaus seems to fall into the same category. He has a 36-hole score of 135 despite the fact that he is suffering from bursitis in his hip. “And if I win this tournament,” he says. “It will be ridiculous. I just don’t feel that good.” Burly Jack leads by one stroke after firing a six-under-par 66 at the Tamarisk golf course. That gave him a one-stroke lead over another member of the “big I five,” Gary Player, and an un- ' heralded youngster named Bob

PAGE SEVEN

Shave, who have scores of 136. While other members of the big five fell slightly off the pace (Arnold Palmer and Gene Littler each had 143), Nicklaus created a masterpiece on the tough Tamarisk course Thursday with his six-under-par effort. He was out in 35, but came roaring back in 31. He had seven birdies against one bogey. He knocked in a pair of 20-foot putts and several from 10 feet or better. Even with his excellent shotmaking Nicklaus isn’t running away from anybody. Player has been brilliant with his approaching irons and if his putts would drop he might run from the field. “I’m playing better than I’m scoring,' said the PGA chan> ’pion.
