Huntingburg Net Mentor Is Fired HUNTINGBURG, Ind. (UPI) — Howard Sharp, whose teams compiled a 12-year record of 153 victories against 118 losses, has been fired as Huntingburg High School basketball coach. Officials announced the school board notified Sharp his coaching contract for next season would not be renewed. The Hunters lost to Ireland in the sectional tourney after winning only two regular — season games. Under Sharp, Huntingburg won sectional crowns in 1955 and 1959 and Southern Conference titles in 1953 and 1958. Sharp also coached football here for four years in the 19505, compiling a 19-11-2 record. Sharp, who may remain on the faculty as a teacher, was head grid and assistant basketball coach at Greencastle before coming here in 1951.

Jack Fisher, Bill Skowron Aid New Teams By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer First impressions can be deceiving but the San Franciso Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers think their relations with Jack Fisher and Bill Skowron are going to be long and profitable. Fisher and Skowron were involved in major winter deals—the Giants acquiring the pudgy pitcher from the Baltimore Orioles and the Dodgers obtaining the rugged first-baseman from the New York Yankees. > Fisher made his competitive debut for the Giants Tuesday with, four shutout innings in a 4-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox while Skowron ran his hitting streak to five straight hits in two games in a 4-3 triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals. Fisher . and Billy Pierce shut out the Red Sox with three hits for eight innings before Boston scored a run off rookie Bob Bishop. Joe Amalfitano singled in the fifth and seventh innings and went on to score the^ Giants’ first two runs. sijsnwrtpfffesu games, touched off the Dodgers’ winning two-rim seventh-inning rally with a single. Frank Howard’s single, a wild pitch, two walks by rookie Harry Fanok and an error by Dick Groat completed the rally. Bill White had three hits for the Cardinals. The Yankees could have used Skowron’s bat Tuesday when Frank Funk, Claude Raymond and rookie Larry Maxie combined to limit them to one hit in pitching the Milwaukee Braves to a 5-0 victory. Raymond allowed the only hit —a scratch single by Tom Tresh. The world champions now have lost three of four exhibition games. Don Lee, 8-8 last season, yielded a triple and a double to the first two hitters he faced and then didn’t permit another hit for four innings as the Los Angeles Angels defeated the Cleveland Indians, 6-1. Rookie catcher Ed Kirkpatrick contributed a single and a triple to the Angels' attack.

There were 24 hits, including homers by the Reds’ Jerry Lynch and Gordy Coleman and the Phillies* Don Demeter. Ray Culp pitched- three hitless innings and struck out four for the Phillies. Dave Nicholson drove in two runs with a double and scored another after a single to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 3-1 win over the New York Mets.

Sellout Crowd To Watch Clay Fight Tonight NEW YORK (UPI) — Cocky Cassius Clay will try tonight to put his fast fists where his loud mouth is, for a fourth-round knockout over dangerous Doug Jones in jammed Madison Square Garden. The Garden’s first sellout crowd in 13 years—lß,732 spectators occupying all seats and standing room—will watch unbeaten young Clay’s attempt to fulfill his daring fourth-round prediction. The gate will approximate $105,000. Twenty-one-year-old Cassius of Louisville, Ky., the world’s second ranking heavyweight, has loudly but successfully pin-pointed in advance the exact rounds for 12 of his previous 14 knockouts. And if the “Louisville Lip” can overcome the double Jonah of shooting for his 13th round-pre-dicted kayo on March 13, he’ll certainly be in line for a September shot at the heavyweight crown. Jones Never Kayoed A fourth-round knockout victory for Clay would be a notable achievement indeed because his opponent, New Yorker Jones, never has been kayoed in 25 fights against generally better opposition than Clay faced while Clay clicked off his 17 straight victories as a professional. “I can't miss,” said Cassius modestly today. And Cassius, the Olympic light heavyweight champion of 1960, added: “i’m the greatest.” Hie Kentucky contender, who garnishes his pugilism with poetry, then stated: Jones thinks he’ll fight some more "But he’s got to go in four.” The belting bard from the bluegrass country is buoyantly riding a string of pine straight knockouts. And he is favored at 17-5 to beat 26-year-old Jones, who produced the biggest upset of 1962 on last Dec. 15 when he knocked out third-ranked Zora Folley in the seventh round at the Garden. Folley had been a 12-5 favorite. Lost Three Decisions , That was Jones’ 21st victory and 13th knockout in his 25 fights, which included one draw. Doug lost three bouts on decisions to Eddie Machen, light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson in ■ . title fight, and Folley in theit first iboutrlß Denver, Colo., Mqk ; 1962.

Today's Sport Parade (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY UPI Sports Writer UPI Sports Writer MIAMI (UPI) — Spring training games, baseball men will tell you, don’t mean very much—except on special occasions. The managers try men of all calibres at all positions, on the whole, and the theory is to see what the newer men can be readied for on some distant tomorrow while working the veterans into shape slowly. Nobody knocks himself out, usually, aside from the youngsters trying to make an impression. So you could expect Robin Roberts to deny that he was “bearing down” when his name went into the Baltimore Oriole box score as an exhibition game winner over the Yankees. “I didn’t bear down harder against the Yankees than I ever do,” he said, adding quickly “but I bear down hard against everybody.’* Dropped By Yankees In a case like this you take it with more than one grain of salt. Not that Roberts has a vendetta going with the Yankees. It’s simply that about a year ago this time, after being peddled away by the Phillies, he was trying to stick with the Bombers. They let him go with the explanation that he hadn’t shown them much and didn’t fit into their plans. “I didn’t get much chance to show them,” Roberts replies flatly. But he did catch on with the Orioles and, while he was supposed to have reached the end of the road because the fire had burned out of his fast ball, he won 10 games for the Orioles against nine defeats. It is a happy memory that in two starts against the Yankees he beat them both times and wound up with a fine 2.78 earned run average that none of the Yankees could match. “I went to a letup pitch,” he ■remembered. "The ball reacts like a screwball, though it doesn’t break as sharp, but it’s easy on the arm.’’ Admits Possible Mistake Ralph Houk, the manager of the Yankees, hints in his calm manner that it is possible he made a mistake on Roberts. “We might have made a different move if we could have looked ahead and foreseen the troubles we were going to have,” Houk nods. “But we decided we had to go along with the chance that Bob Turley’s arm would come back and couldn’t see sending young Jim Bouton back to the minors.” The 22-year-old Bouton had an fWs-J anermra walkwr 47T>at- ’ Ter§ to pile up a 4.57 earned run average when he was let go to the Los Angeles Angels. Roberts, now 36, comes off much better than either by comparison on the 1962 campaign. But he did it only after accepting the fact that others had known for several years. Namely, he needed another pitch. From the time he came up with the Phillies jo 1948, Roberts was earmarked for greatness. Through 14 more years he wore their livery with distinctiop, no easy chore in itself. Through five consecutive years the firebailer led the league in innings pitched; through four of those years he led the league in victories, with a high of 28, and six years in a row he was a 20-game winner. Fast Ball Disappears Then the rattlesnake swiftness began to dwindle Two years he paced the league in losses, with a high of 22 in 1957. Contributory damage must be admitted in that these were the Phillies, never a synonym for greatness. But the whispers in baseball were that Roberts wouldn't accept the fact that the smoke was gone. Now even the Phillies gave up and he had a shot with the Yankees. They had been a source of disappointment to him before, back in 1950 when Roberts was the wheelhorse as the Whiz Kids won the National League flag. The Yankees chopped them down to size, and Roberts along with them. It had to be a blow when they let him go without what he thought was a big and careful look. But it is to be doubted that the Yanks made a mistake. They don’t make too many and he-didn’t have the new pitch he needed. at Miami, Fla. Luis Aparicio homered and stole two bases for the Orioles and Jerry Adair also homered. Al Kaline homered for the Tigers. Rookie firebailer Steve Dalkowski pitched hitless ball over the middle three innings for Baltimore.

South Bend's Central Rated Top Favorite By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The big Bears from South Bend Central are the boys to beat in the Northeastern semi-state of the Indiana high school basketball tourney at Fort Wayne Saturday, but at this stage it doesn’t pay to ignore the three other contenders— Berne, Huntington and Noblesville. All four survived rugged tests in two weeks of tourney play to earn their tickets into the next-to-last round for the state crown. South Bend Central’s thirdranked East NIHSC co-titlists meet Berne in the afternoon opener and Noblesville clashes with Huntington in the semi-state preliminaries. South Bend, Huntington, No. 11 and co-winner of the Central Conference crown, and Noblesville sport 23-2 records, with the South Benders owning a 16-game winning streak and Noblesville’s string extending to 14 games. Berne is 21-4. They're all strangers. South Bend’s rangy outfit had the more difficult season schedule and was the only team to beat Muncie Central in pre-tourney play. But the Bears needed an overtime to subdue tough Goshen for Elkhart regional honors. Height Cited South Bend can muster a starting crew including 6-9 Dewitt Menyard, 6-4 Mike Otolski, 6-4 John Costello and 6-2 Curt Crittendon, with 5-11 junior Mike Warren a fine clutch shooter. Berne, one of the few smalltown powers left, isn't blessed with that much height, but coach Bruce Smith hopes his Bears will keep on driving with spirit and desire. Berne started the regular season with just one holdover regular from last year, 6-4 Erv Inniger, whose fielder hipped Angola in overtime for the Fort Wayne regional crown. Inniger and 5-10 Bob Stahly were members of a junior high school quintet that racked up 67 consecutive victories over a threeyear period. Noblesville’s veteran outfit earned its spurs by eliminating 1962 tourney finalists Kokomo in a 69-68 squeaker. Only one player is missing from the team that gave Kokomo fits before bowing to 6k regional taM year. T - Coach Glenn Harper carries nine seniors, tops among them 6-3 Gary Cox, who racked up three school scoring records this year. Vikes Defense-Minded While the Millers also lack size, a strong bench is one of their top assets.. Huntington was the third team in this foursome extended into overtime to stay alive —the Vikings needed three overtiihes to beat Marion for their third consecutive regional title. With only two seniors on the squad, coach Bob Straight’s club was expected to stay tough at least one more year. Defense is the key to Straight’s success. In the sectional, Clear Creek got. only 16 points, Huntington Catholic 21 and Union 36. And Bryant had to settle for 28 in the regional. It’s no surprise, then, that Huntington led all teams in defense and winning margin through the first two -weeks of the toutney. The South Benders made it to the four - team state finals four

Orlando Cepeda Is Signed By Giants PHOENIX, Ariz. (UPl)—Orlando Cepeda, whose stubbornness can be attested to by numerous National League pitchers, relished a $5,000 victory today as part of his 1963 contract with the San Francisco Giants. Orlando, who balked at taking a cut of $4,000 from his $47,000! salary last year, finally signed Tuesday, agreeing to terms that gave him an increase of “approximately $1,000.” He will report Friday, according to Giant Vice I President Charles (Chub) Feeney. 1 But still unsigned was Juan Marichal, an 18-game winner for j the National League champions, j He was still negotiating with Feeney, and possibly was encouraged by Cepeda’s success at the bargaining table. “Mr. Stoneham and Alvin Dark and I agreed,” said Feeney, “that since this is such a matter of pride with Orlando, and since we’re trying to win another pennant, that it would be best to give Cepeda a slight raise. Now everybody is happy.” Cepeda, one of the strongest of the Giants, slumped toward the! end of the 1962 season. But he' still swatted 35 homers, batted in I 114 runs, and hit .306. The year before, he hit 46 home runs and drove in 142 runs. BOWLING Rural League W L Pts.

UCLA Defeats Stanford For NCAA Berth By United Preu International The UCLA Bruins can thank Walt Hazzard for their berth in the NCAA basketball tournament. Hazzard whipped in 19 points, including four crucial free throws in the waning minutes, to lead UCLA to a 51-45 victory over Stanford Tuesday night in their Big Six Conference playoff at Santa Monica, Calif. The Eruins, who also represented the Big Six in last year’s NCAA championship, led most of the way, pulling away to a 40-26 bulge after six minutes of the second half. Hazzard Goes To Work However, Stanford later slowed down the UCLA fast break and reduced its deficit to 44-40. That’s when Hazzard went to work at the free throw line to pull the Bruins out of danger. Jack Hirsch was the Bruins’ second-high scorer with 15 points while Tom Dose led Stanford with 19.
