Indiana Edges lowa, Purdue Loses Again CHICAGO (UPl)—The Big Ten basketball picture looked today like a four-piece jigsaw puzzle. Only one game separated the four top teams heading into the final one-third of the season and the race that once appeared to be an all-Illinois affair now had three added starters in Ohio State, Minnesota, and Indiana. Illinois and Ohio State shared the lead with identical 7-2 records with five games remaining. Minnesota followed at 7-3 with four games left, and Indiana, also with five to go, was only one game off the pace at 6-3. All four contenders moved ahead Monday night. Illinois broke a two-game losing streak with a surge in the final six minutes to beat Purdue 87-79. Ohio State, getting 31 points from Big Ten scoring leader Gary Bradds, stayed abreast by defeating Michigan State 87-77. Minnesota, which has the advantage of playing three of its remaining four games at home, overpowered Wisconsin 72-48 to stay a half-game behind the leaders, and Indiana edged lowa 72-71. Northwestern beat Michigan 6362. The four top teams all have what are cautiously known as “breathers” on tap for Saturday. Illinois returns home tor the first time in four games to meet Wisconsin, Ohio State is host to lowa, Indiana is home to Michigan State, and Minnesota goes to Northwestern. Bradds, who stayed even with his 31 points per game average, bagged 21 of his total in the second half. The Buckeyes never allowed Michigan State to come closer than seven points and had a 13-point edge at the half. The Illini were paced by Bill Small whose 32 points was tops in Monday night’s action. The defeat was Purdue’s 10th in 11 league games. Indiana and lowa battled on fairly even terms with the score tied seven times. Tom Bolyard, who led the Hoosiers with 29 points, put his team in front to stay with 11 minutes to play. Jimmy Rayl, the other half of the Hoosiers’ one-two punch and the league’s second-ranking scorer, scored only two points in the game under the dose guarding of Hawkeye Jimmy Rodgers.

State Champ Bosse Facing Rocky Going

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —A year ago they hailed Evansville Bosse as one of the smartest coached teams in the big show and the defending Indiana high school basketball tourney champs may have to prove their class in a hurry this time. The Evansville sectional is one of those explosive preliminary tourneys, with Rex Mundi of the Pocket City considered the top favorite by virtue of its 21-point victory over Bosse during the season and a 17-1 record going into the last week of regular shooting. But Bosse, which figures to reach the tourney grind with a highly respectable 16-4 record, doesn’t plan to be a pushover. Last year the Bulldogs lost twice during the season—to city rival North and to unbeaten Madison — and avenged both losses in the tourney. They licked North by 17 points in their second meeting and Madison by four in the afternoon round of the state finals. A Rocky Road Much, of course, will depend on Wednesday’s tourney pairings, for Lady Luck always plays a big role in this four-week grind But should Bosse repeat as sectional champ, the remainder of the rocky road to the state finals here March 23 will look considerably rosier. Still, the southern contender for state honors has its work cut out before advancing to the Butler Fieldhouse finals. Tell City could make it uncomfortable in the Evansville regional and so could two other Southern Conference foes— Washington and Vincennes. Vincennes, which beat Bosse by 6 points recently but bowed to both New Albany and Tell City, is heavily favored in its own sectional before advancing to the Huntingburg regional, where the Washington sectional winner is also entered. Washington’s Hatchets will have to convince unbeaten Loogootee first, however, , before gaining

Cincinnati Is Rated On Top Despite Loss NEW YORK (UPI) — Cincinnati’s first defeat failed to shake the Bearcats from the No. 1 spot in the United Press International college basketball ratings today, but Loyola, whose perfect record also was ruined, was replaced by Duke in second place. Wichita vaulted all the way from 17th place to sixth this week on the strength of the 65-64 upset victory which ended Cincinnati’s 37-game, two-season winning streak. Although Cincinnati held the top spot — as it has every week of this season — coach Ed Jucker’s Bearcats missed unanimous acclaim for the first time in nine weeks. One member of the 35-man UPI Board of Coaches cast his firstplace vote for Duke, leaving Cincinnati just one point short of a perfect score.' Duke, which has a 19-2 record and has won 13 straight games, thus moved up another notch in its steady climb from 10th place during the past eight weeks. Hie Blue Devils, undefeated in 12 Atlantic Coast Conference games, were third behind Cincinnati and Loyola for the three previous weeks

Loyola, whose 21-game winning streak was snapped by Bowling Green, 92-75, last Saturday night, dropped out of the runnerup spot which it had held for eight consecutive weeks. The Ramblers from Chicago were third, 13 points behind Duke and 69 behind Cincinnati.

Arizona State (20-2). Ohio State (15-3) and Stanford (14-6) all advanced this week, like Wichita. Arizona State moved up a notch to fourth place, as Illinois dropped to fifth; Ohio State moved back into the top 10 group after an absence of four weeks and tied Stanford for seventh place. Colorado and Georgia Tech rounded out this week’s top 10 group. (The coaches based their ratings on games played through Saturday night, Feb. 16.) Mississippi State, seventh last week, dropped to 11th place, and Oregon State fell from 10th to 13th. New York University, was between them in 12th place. — nr — Round 2. Loogootee’s Lions are favored to carry an 18-game winning streak into the tourney. Jeff Favored Jeffersonville should have no trouble in its own sectional-region-al area before gaining the Evansville semi-state, but the Terre Haute sectional - regional district has no clear-cut favorite. The Terre Haute sectional winner—probably Gerstmeyer despite an injury and illness-plagued sea son—may be challenged by the Martinsville sectional winner—either the host Artesians or Eminence, another small-town toughie shooting for a perfect season this week.

Bingen Winner Os Lutheran Tourney Bingen won the tourney championship of the Lutheran grade schoool league Sunday at the Hoagland gym, edging Bethlehem, 34-33, in the final game. Bingen led at the first quarter, 12-6, at the half, 20-14, and at the third period, 24-20, but barely starved off Bethlehem in the closing minutes. J. Reinking led the winners with 16 points, and M. Adams topped the losers with 14. In the all-star game preceding the finals, the upper bracket team defeated the lower bracket, 35-21 Following the championship game, the Rev. Otto Mueller, of Emmanuel, Soest, presented the team sportsmanship trophy, donated by the Zwick funeral home, to Immanuel Lutheran school of Union township. He then presented the runner-up trophy to Bethlehem, and the championship trophy, donated by Holthouse Drug Co., to the Bingen team. Upper Bracket FG FT TP S. Bieberich -- 0 0 0 D. Scheumann 0 11 M.

Jim has foresaken the Shakespearean bit this winter but now he’s making throats gulp in the Cincinnati front office because of his conception of what a pitcher with a 4-4 record should earn. “It looks like Jim is going to be our tough man,” said General Manager Bill Dewitt of the Reds Monday after announcing the signing of 21-game winner Joey Jay. "He definitely doesn't like the contract we sent him.” Brosnan had a 10-4 record in 1961, when the Reds won the National League pennant, and presumably vyas cut $3,000 or $4,000 on the basis of his inferior showing in 1962. Jay, ace of the Cincinnati pitching staff for the last two years, aigned for an estimated $35,000. He said he thought he? could achieve a third straight 20-victory season and added, “On paper it looks as if the club has improved itself — especially with the addition of Al Worthington.”

Larry Sherry, another relief star whose work fell off a bit in 1962, accepted a small pay cut from the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sherry, the Dodgers’ 1959 World Series hero, was in 58 games with a 7-3 record and 3.20 earned run average last season. He signed for around $22,000.
