Geneva Loses Saturday To Marion Five The Geneva Cardinals dropped back to the .500 mark again Saturday night when they were handed a 57-55 defeat by Marian Bennett in a closely-fought battle at the Marion gym. The Cardinals now own a 6-6 season mark. The Cardinals appeared headed for another victory when they rolled up a seven-point lead in the first quarter, 16-11. But Marion fought back and pulled into a 3131 deadlock at the half. Marion assumed a seven-point bulge, 4942 after three periods, and the Cardinals could not quite make up the difference. The game was marked by numerous fouls, wit hthe Cardinals losing four of the team's starters on fouls, and Geneva hitting 19 free throws and Marion 17. Mike Newcomer, the only Cardinal starter who did not foul out, topped both teams with 31 points, but was the Geneva player in double figures. P. Guerrero led Marion with 20 points and Turrie counted 16. The Cardinals have three games this week, all at home. They will meet Adams Central Tuesday, Ossion Friday and Ridgeville Saturday.

Finn Vaulter Breaks World Mark Saturday HELSINKI (UPD—Phenomenal Pentti Nikula, the high flying Finn who already has pole vaulted 16 feet, 8% inches and feels he can do 17.4, makes his American debut at Los Angeles next Saturday night. The blond, 24-year-old bank official astounded the track and field world last Saturday night by vaulting 16-8%, higher than any human ever has before. He will participate in four meets in the United States, starting with the Los Angeles Times indoor games on Feb. 9. “I am looking forward to meeting the best American pole vaulters,” said Nikula, who celebrated his 24th birthday one day after his record leap. “I know the circumstances will be different than they are here in Finland, but I think it will be much easier to compete in America now that I have my confidence.” Nikula. who had vaulted an ordinary 14-9% back in 1961 before switching to the fibre glass pole, said “concentration” was the key to his near-incredible leap last Saturday. “Other jumpers will raise the record higher and higher in the future,” he said. “I believe I will be able to clear 530 centimeters (17-4%) and possibly even more.” Prior to last Saturday, Nikula’s best effort was 16-2% last June 22 and that high stood throughout the world until C. K. Yang of NitionaltstChina and UCLA cleared 16-3% at Portland, Pre., two weeks ago. Os all the American vaulters, Nikula considers Ron Morris his greatest threat. Nikula’s coach, Valto Olenius, differs. He thinks ex-Marine John Uelses is the best of the U.S. crop. ----- Hockey Results NATIONAL LEAGUE Saturday Boston 4, Detroit 4, (tie).

Nicklaus And Player Tie In Golf Tourney PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPD —Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, two of the world's great golfers, tangle for the Palm Springs Golf Classic championship today in an 18-hole medal-play playoff. To the winner will go *9,000, while the loser will collect *4,600. “But when you consider they have to go 108 holes to win the championship," said PGA Tournament Director Joe Black, “it doesn't figure as very good pay.” With the 18-hole playoff, the classic turned into a 108-hole marathon, because it is a 90-hole tournament regularly. This will be a battle between the National Open champion (Nicklaus) and the United States PGA king (Player). While they’ve both been in playoffs before, they’ve never met head-on against each other as they will do in this one on the Indian Wells course. The competition starts at 11 a.m. EST, and they’ll also split half the gate receipts. The two great shot-makers deadlocked at scores of 345 Sunday. Nicklaus had started the day with a whopping five stroke lead. But three of those strokes melted away on the ninth hole when Jack took a double bogey against Gary's birdie. The big Open champion wound up with a oneover - par 72 against Player’s fine 67. Tommy Bolt, National Open king in 1958, had a chance to get into the scramble for the championship. But he ruined it when he three-putted the 17th hole, missing the second putt from 18 inches, Gene Littler finished with the greatest round of the tournament, a 64 for a 347 and a tie for fourth place, with the steady Gardner Dickinson, who had a three-under-par 68. They each collected $2,450. Arnold Palmer closed fast with a 67 to tie with Jack Fleck at 349 and each won *2,000. College Basketball Northwestern 100, Indiana 87. Ohio State 97, Purdue 93.

Drake Battles Cincinnati In Return Match By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer A sinister shadow returns to haunt top-ranked Cincinnati tonight and possibly end the Bearcats’ hopes for their first perfect college basketball season in 55 years. A daring Drake team that forced Cincinnati into overtime last Thursday before losing, 65-60, this time holds the advantage of the home court. Drake currently is the patsy of the Missouri Valley Conference with a 1-4 record while Cincinnati leads the league at 6-0. Another key contest tonight finds fourth-ranked Illinois pitting its 4-0 Big Ten Conference lead against Indiana, which has won three of four loop games. On Wednesday night, the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils battle Wake Forest for the Atlantic Coast Conference lead. Duke has a perfect record in eight games against league opponents and the Deacons are 8-1. Cincinnati won its 35th straight game over a two-year season Saturday night by defeating St. Louis, 70-40. Ron Benham led the winners with 18 points as the Bearcats blasted the Billikens chances of tying for the Missouri Valley lead. Second-ranked Loyola, the nation’s highest scoring team, raced to its 20th consecutive victory with an 86-68 decision over lowa. Duke took over undisputed possession of the AAC lead with a rally in the last three minutes that defeated neighboring North Carolina, 77-69. Wake Forest dropped out of first place by bowing to Clemson, 71-70. Fifth-ranked Arizona State defeated Texas Western, 63-60; the No. 6 Georgia Tech Engineers swamped Alabama, 74-58; eighth ranked Colorado stopped Oklahoma, 77-68; and Wichita, rated 10th, whipped Tulsa, 66-38.

Illinois Meets LU. Tonight In Top Game CHICAGO (UPD— Illinois risks its perfect record and Big Ten basketball lead in a clash with Indiana in one of three games on tonight's conference card. The Illini, resuming action after an exam-caused idleness, take a 4-0 record into the game on their floor. The Hoosiers blew a chance to come into the game with a similar record when they were upset 100-87 by Northwestern Saturday night for their first league loss. It was a great night for the visitors Saturday when four out of four conference games went to the road clubs. But visiting lowa dropped an 86-68 decision to second-ranked Loyola at the Chicago Stadium. One point decisions in favor of Minnesota and Michigan plus the Wildcats’ win over the Hoosiers were the big ones. In the fourth game, Ohio State won as expected, handing Purdue its seventh league loss without a win, 97-93. In other games tonight, Michigan State is at Purdue and Wisconsin at Michigan Northwestern guard Rich Falk and center Gary Bradds of Ohio State were Saturday’s scoring heroes. Falk hit for 35 points, his season high, in the Wildcat victory and Bradds connected for 38 to take over the lead in the individual scoring race. The Boilermakers broke their own shooting record by hitting on 64 per cent of their shots. But it wasn’t good cough to save them from their seventh league loss. Mel Garland, who ranks fifth in the scoring race, sank 34 points in the losing cause. Falk had big help from Bill Woislaw, an eight-point-a-game player, who got 20 against the Hoosiers. The Gophers held on for a 69-68 verdict over Wisconsin after highscoring Eric Magdanz was tossed out of the game for fighting with more than three minutes left to play. Doug Herner’s desperation shot in the-final six seconds gave Michigan its one-point victory 72-71 over Michigan State at East Lansing, Mich. Michigan State’s Jack Lamer put the Spartans ahead 69-68 with a minute to play and Bill Schwarz stole a Michigan pass to make it 71-68. Wolverine forward Jim Harris made two free throws with 16 seconds left and Herner’s shot insured the victory. Bicycle Reported Stolen Here Sunday Sam Drake, a Hi-Way trailer court resident, reported a stolen bicycle to the city police Sunday. The bicycle, a black English type 26-inch boy’s was stolen from the Adams theater about 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The bike was valued at S2O. ,

Griffith To Defend Title On March 16 COPENHAGEN, Denmark (UPI) — Welterweight champion Emile Griffith, having hammered out his ninth straight victory on his 25th birthday, flew back to New York today to arrange tor a March 16th defense of his welter crown. Griffith’s 147-pound title was not at stake Sunday afternoon when he scored a ninth-round technical knockout over 36-year-old Chris Christensen of Denmark, who had been floored three times and was bleeding from face cuts when his handlers threw in the towel. . . In that scheduled 15-rounder before a sparse 4,000 in Forum Hall Griffith was defending only his synthetic Austrian version of the world junior middleweight (154pound) championship. He weighed 152 pounds to the Dane's 150. Now $15,000 richer, Emile and co managers Gil Clancy and Howard Albert flew back to America today to close for his welter defense against top contender Luis Rodriguez of Cuba at Los Angeles in March. Clancy said Sunday’s fight with lanky biondish Christensen, former European welterweight champ, had been a “nice warm-ing-up bout for Emile in preparation for Rodriguez.” Valerie Halpin Is Swim Meet Winner Miss Valeria Halpin of Cincinnati was one of the two chosen, in her age group, to compete in the Canada vs United States swim meet held in Detroit, January 19. She is ten years old and a member of the Marlin club of Cincinnati. The team she swam with won first in their relay.

Sheriff's Measure Advances In House INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—A measure to amend the Indiana Constitution to permit county sheriffs to serve any number of terms moved to second reading in the House today with the backing of the Republican majority. The House adopted by voice vote the majority report of the House Rules Committee that the measure be passed, after rejecting by a 53-41 roll call vote on strict party lines a minority Democratic report recommending indefinite postponement. A resolution to amend the Constitution to remove the two-term restriction for sheriffs was defeated in the House last month to make way for introduction of a Repubican measure to amend the Constitution on legislative reapportionment. No new amendment can be introduced while another is pending, and the sheriff amendment was carried over from the 1961 Legislature. After it was killed. Republicans reintroduced it over Democratic protests that rules prohibited this. However, GOP leaders cited a 1913 rule in a legislative manual which they said substantiated their action.
