West German Senate Favorable To Pact BONN (UPI) — The Bundesrat (senate) gave speedy first-reading approval to the French-German "friendship treaty" today after Chancellor Konrad Adenauer declared it “would not affect West Germany's responsibilities to its other Allies. Legislators representing 7 of West Germany’s 10 states voted in favor of the treaty. Representatives of the other 3 states did not vote. The Bundesrat made no changes in the treaty, but they accompanied it with a resolution declaring that the pact must not be allowed to weaken West Germany’s "general political goals”— such as its alliance with the United States. The treaty will now be submitted to the Bundestag (house) for ratification, a process which is expected to take two to three months. Adenauer, addressing the Bundesrat for the first time since 1953, called for speedy ratification of the treaty without amendmement in what he said are the interests of West Germany, France, Europe and world peace. “This is not a pact between two old men—(French President Charles) De Gaulle and Adenauer," the chancellor said. “It is a pact between two peoples. ■ J, It does not affect our responsibilities in any other pact, neither in the European Economic Cqmm unity (Common Market) nqe in NATO (the Atlantic pact).”

Tourney Notes

By Bob Shraluka COMMODORES vs. Berne, 12:30 p. m.; Monmouth vs. Adams Central, 1:45 p. m.; is the lineup for Saturday afternoon’s semi-final action. MONMOUTH’S Eagles, who steamrolled over a game Hartford quintet Thursday night, were the top shooting club for the Thursday night session. The Eagles pumped home 31 fielders in 81 attempts for a mark of .457, just short of the high mark of .459 set by Berne Wednesday night. * —oOo— THE Yellow Jackets canned 24 of their 55 shots for a .436 figure, while Hartford scored 22 fielders in 61 tries for a .361 mark. Adams Central hit only 20 buckets in 63 attempts for the low Thursday percentage, .317. POSTING the high individual mark night, and for the tourney play thus far, was Adams Central center Gary Workinger, who scored seven times in ten attempts for a .700 mark. After missing his first three shots, Workinger finished out by scoring on tiie next seven attempts. —oOo— DECATUR’S Bob McClure finished his career with a good night from the field, as the senior pumped in eight buckets in only 13 tries for a percentage of .615. Dean Schieferstein of Monmouth sank eight fielders in 14 tries for a mark of .571, while Denny Braun of the Eagles was right at the .500 rating, eight fielders in 16 attempts. Elgene Bienz was also at .500, hitting five of 10. OTHER top individual performances. although some took less than 10 shots, were: Don Brown, nine of 19; Ron Habegger, 10 or 22; Jim Martin, four of nine; Tom Maddox, five of 11; Jerry Alberson, three of six; Don Sharp, four of seven; Artie Ringger, tour of Automo.

eight. DECATUR’S 15 of 31 in their first half, a percentage of .484, was the best one-half team performance. Monmouth hit 19 of 40 in the first half, and 18 of 41 in the second half. ELDER’S Eagles were far and away the best rebounding team of the night, and the tourney so far, as they hauled down 55 rebounds in their easy win over Hartford. The Eagles took 28 offensive rebounds and 27 defensively. Hartford was next high with a total of 32. The Gorillas pulled down 11 rebounds offensively and 21 defensively, as they did a good job, although not able to stand up against the much, bigger Monmouth quintet. ADAMS Central pulled down 29 rebounds, 19 defensively, while Decatur grabbed 27 caroms, 16 of which were off the defensive board. LEAN Dean Schieferstein was Thursday’s best rebounder, and of 17 set by Gary Clouse Wednestied the tourney’s high-water mark day evening. Schieferstein, a junior, pulled down seven from the offensive board and 10 from the defensive board. HE received plenty of help from Denny Braun, one-half of Monmouth's famed B-Boys combination. Braun pulled off 13 rebounds, ed|||t offensively and five defensively. Only other rebounder in twin figures was YeHow Jaeket Tom Maddox, who totaled 11, seven of which were off the defensive board. OTHER top rebounders of note, listing offensive, defensive and total, were: Workinger, 2 & 7,9; Wanner, 3 & 6,9; Brown, 4 & 4, 8; Ringger, 3 & 4,7; Gause, 3& 3, 6; Bienz, 5 & 1,6; Habegger, 2 & 4,6; Meshberger, 2 & 4, 6. A LOT of credit must go to the Hartford Gorillas, with an enrollment of only 53 students, and of that only 24 are boys. With only 24 boys in high school, chances for a good ball club are slim. But coach Tom Alger always seems to come up with a good outfit, and no other team can ever take the

Gorillas too lightly in a tournament. They gave the Eagles all they wanted for a half last night, and never did quit trying. —oOo— A LITTLE fellow by the name of Spichiger, Gorilla reserve guard, thrilled what was left of the crowd in the final quarter last night. Standing only five feet tall, and weighing a slim 90 pounds, he entered the game with less than three minutes to go, grabbed a rebound and a few seconds later dropped in two free throws. With 26 seconds left he poped in a onehander from 15 feet out on the side. He typifies the Hartford team—never quit no matter how small. —oOo— THE Eagles were wearing brand-new suits for the game, but they were still the same team that can run, shoot and rebound with the best of them. THE Daily Democrat-Citizens Telephone Co. news service took in a mere 3,756 calls last night, slightly more than on Wednesday night. —oOo— SEVEN seniors finished their high school careers last night and here’s wishing good luck to Jim Martin, Dave Gay, Tom Maddox, Bob McClure. Steve Gause and Bill Conrad of Decatur, and Bon Habegger of Hartford. —oOo— ABOUT the Decatur-Ada ms Central game. Some wise fellow once said, “If you can’t say anything good, don’t say anything at all.” So here are nothing but the cold, hard facts. A total of 30 personal fouls were whistled on Decatur, and 15 on Adams Central. Adams Central hit 27 of 44 free throw attempts, and Decatur hit 13 of 18. Dectur scared four more field goals than Adams Central, 24-20. Decatur led by 14 points at the half, 37-23, but Dave Gay fouled out with 4:46 to play in the third period. With 4:34 to play in the game, four Decatur regulars had fouled out, and Bob McClure was left—and he had four personals. SYMPATHIES are out from this corner to coach Bill McColly who really had bis boys out to win. Winners of only five games during the season, McColly’s team was really hustling and working in the first half—but it was a losing cause from the first whistle. KEEPING in mind what that wise fellow once said, this is the first and final comment on the game. If anyone in Adams county can remember seeing two-evenly matched high school teams play a game in which 45 or more personal fouls were called, and twice as many fouls were called on one team, would ke or she send the name of the teams and the date of the game to Bob Shraluka, Decatur Daily Democrat, 106 N. Second St., Decatur, Indiana.

Sandy Koufax Passes First Spring Test UFI Sports Writer The Los Angeles Dodgers feel good all over today because there’s no pain in Sandy Koufax' left index finger. It was a circulatory condition in the big fireballer’s finger that sidelined him for virtually the entire second half of the 1962 season and probably cost the Dodgers the National League pennant. Koufax won 14 games by July 12 but didn’t win another game all season. The 27-year-old left-hander passed his first real test of the spring Thursday when he pitched to Dodger hitters for 17 minutes. He threw at only three-quarter speed and was tagged for some “homers” by Frank Howard and Bill Skowron. But the big thing was that he reported no pain in the finger and seemed confident it has completely healed. “Another Spring Training" *1 don’t even think about it any more,” said Koufax, who struck out a National League record of 269 batters in 1961 and had 216 strikeouts in 184 innings last sea-

son. “As far as I’m concerned this is just another spring training." The Detroit Tigers, Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Athletics and Cleveland Indians made progress in another direction when they signed players Who had been driving hard bargains. The Tigers came to terms with Chico Fernandez, whose 20 homers set a club record for ‘ shortstops last season, for an estimated SIB,OOO. The Orioles bagged All-Star third-baseman Brooks Robinson (.303 , 23 homers and 86 RBl’s) for about $33,000. The Athletics signed Norm Siebern (.308, 25 homers and 117 RBl’s) for $34,000 and second-baseman Jerry Lumpe (.30J, 10 homers and 83 RBl’s) for approximately $32,000 while Tito Francona (.272, 14 homers and 70 runs batted in) agreed to a $28,000 Cleveland pact. Marv Throneberry of the New York Mets remained unsatisfied, however, after another meeting with Assistant General Manager Johnny Murphy. Throneberry is believed to be asking SIB,OOO against a club offer of $16,000. Other Camp News Other news around the camps: Bill Mazeroski, new Pittsburgh Pirate captain, suffered a slight muscle pull in his left thigh but layoff. The New York Yankees announced that Jake Gibbs, signed to a $105,000 bonus contract two years ago, will be converted into a catcher. Gibbs is being tutored by Jim Began and Yogi Berra. . . Earl Battey of the Minnesota Twins, All-Star major league catcher in 1962, is working out with five-pound weights attached to his ankles to increase his agility in moving after bunts and foul pops.
