Liston Return Bout Is Off; Faces Surgery MIAMI (UPI) — Sonny Liston flew here for an 80-minute examination of his knee and returned to Chicago Wednesday to prepare for an operation and a minimum six-month recovery period before he can defend his heavyweight title against ex-champ Floyd Patterson. So certain was it even before Liston had his checkup that a scheduled April 10 Liston-Patter-son fight at Miami Beach was off that Patterson had already packed up his training camp and headed back north. Liston broke up his camp at an Oceanfront hotel last Saturday to fly to Chicago for a “week of rest” to soothe his injured left knee. He returned Wednesday at the demand of tht Miami Beach boxing commission, which wanted to appoint its own physician to examine Sonny’s knee before granting manager-adviser Jack Niton’s request for an indefinite postponement. The commission granted the request at a brief meeting Wednesday night after seeing a two-para-graph report from the specialists who looked at Sonny’s knee at their Coral Gables clinic: Drs. Arthur H, Weiland and Robert P. Keiser. “We have found unmistakable evidence of injury to the mesial semi-lunar cartilage and feel that it would be unwise for him to participate in the championship heavyweight boxing match scheduled for April 10,” the physicians said after looking over the champ for 80 minutes in the afternoon. “In addition, it is our opinion that this knee should have the benefit of a surgical procedure and that, if such is done, a period of at least six months should elapse before he might be in shape to indulge in any scheduled boxing match.” Operation Next Week Niton said the left knee probably would be operated on “sometime next week” in Chicago, and

Hawks Beat Pistons In Playoff Opener By United Press International The Syracuse Nationals will be seeking to take a commanding two-game lead in the Eastern Division semifinal playoffs of the National Basketball Association when they take on the Cincinnati Royals in Cincinnati tonight. The St. Louis Hawks got off to a good start in the Western Division eliminations by overcoming the Detroit Pistons, 118-99, cm their home court Wednesday night. The clubs will resume their best-of-five series with another contest in St. Louis Friday night. Syracuse took a 1-0 edge in its division by beating the Royals on Tuesday, and now is an overwhelming favorite to advance to the Eastern finals against the Boston Celtics. The Hawks fell 12 points behind after the first quarter, 27-15, but rallied for 40 points in the second period to drive back into contention. St. Louis finally went ahead for good at 69-68 on a third quarter basket by Mike Farmer Cliff Hagan and Bob Pettit of the Hawks shared game scoring honors with 31 points each and rookie Dave Debusschere paced Detroit with 30.

Five Inducted Into Indiana Hall Os Fame INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana’s Branch McCracken, the late Robert S. Hinshaw, Archie Chadd, “Stretch” Murphy and George Spradling became ’ the second group to be inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame Wednesday night. A committee of hardwood experts chose the five, who except for Hinshaw and Murphy received the honors in elaborate ceremonies at a banquet. Mrs. Hinshaw and their daughter .Mrs. Helen Johnson, accepted the award for Hinshaw. Purdue basketball coach Ray Eddy accepted for Murphy, who was unable to attend. Retired IHSAA commissioner L. V. Phillips, who received the Silver Medal in recognition of his contributions to the sport, served as non-voting chairman of the group. McCracken, dean of Big Ten coaches, played high school basketball at Monrovia, college basketball at Indiana. He coached at Ball State before returning to IU in 1938. Since then, he has produced two NCAA champions and four Big Ten winners.

Hinshaw, assistant IHSAA commissioner under Phillips for 16 years, was honored posthumously. He died in 1961. He played basketball at Spiceland Academy; coached basketball, baseball and track and served as athletic director for 23 years at Greenfield and Rushville. Chadd piloted Anderson’s Indians to state high school championships in 1935 and 1937. He played basketball at Bainbridge and is now dean of boys at Indianapolis Wood. Charles Stretch Murphy at 6-6 was the first of the big centers to make headlines in Hoosier basketball. He led Marion to the state prep title in 1926 before starring at Purdue. He is now director of a boys club at Tampa, Fla Spradling, a businessman here, was a standout hardwood player at Frankfort and also starred at Purdue in both basketball and football. He led the Big Ten in that Dr. Duke Baird of Coral Gables, who had been treating the knee since Sonny twisted it swinging a golf club with an 11-year-old friend, would be asked to do the surgery. Niton said Dr. Mike Mandarine, former Philadelphia Eagles football star and team physician, would be asked to assist as a consultant. “We hope to be ready by September,” Niton said. “It’s too early to talk about sites, but I think Pittsburgh would be a good site if Patterson continues to balk at Baltimore. Detroit is another possibility,” Niton said.

Crawley Team In Finals Is Not Unusual By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD— For a patched - up crew, Lafayette’s Bronchos had little to complain about today. Rarely has a team gained the four-team finals of the Indiana high school basketball tourney after months of miseries—but despite all their woes, Marion Crawley’s eagers turned the trick for the sixth time since they won the crown in 1948. On the surface, having a Crawley-coached quintet in the state finals is nothing unusual. After all, he won the title twice at Washington in the 1940 s before moving to Tippecanoe County. He figured before the season opened he would have a good team, but then the bottom fell out. Denny and Terre Stillabower underwent major surgery for football injuries Brady recovered faster but Stillabower didn’t rejoin the squad until January. Then Brady went under the knife for appendicitis—the same ailment that has bothered Chuck Scheumann all year. In fact, Scheumann’s case is so chronic he could be lost to the team at any time. In addition, Crawley had his own troubles and Jack Walkey had a bout with hemorrhoids.

Meet Muncie “There has hardly been a week of practice with all starters intact,” said Crawley. “And the biggest blow came when Russ Barrick became ineligible one week before the start of the season. “It got so I couldn’t tell for sure if we could keep our first unit together.” Despite all these handicaps, Lafayette compiled a respectable 15-5 season record. One of the five losses was to North Central Conference cousin Muncie Central, 61-53. And these two “friendly enenies” clash again in Saturday’s afternoon round at the Butler Fieldhouse. “Muncie has a bigger front line than we have,” said Crawley, “but we’ll be bigger in the back court. “We don’t have anyone to match their Mike Rolf in size, but then we couldn’t match the front line height of East Chicago Washington, and we managed to beat them last week by getting good rebound position!” That 73-68 overtime victory over East Chicago was Lafayette’s toughest tourney test to date. The Bronchos were forced to come from behind in the final seconds to force the overtime. Lafayette’s first two rounds of tourney play were pretty well routine, and Crawley felt his club had “great possibilities’’ to make it to the finals after winning the sectional for the 20th consecutive year. Crawley figures his boys will be the underdogs in Saturday’s big showdown. Coach Not Quitting “It should be a fine tourney and Muncie and South Bend Central should have the edge—if you go by the records,” he said. “We’ll just play basic basketball. We pass

basketball scoring in 1924 and 1926. TTie first members of the Hall of Fame, sponsored by the Lions Clubs of Indiana, were inducted a year ago. They were Ward (Piggy) Lambert, Homer Stonebraker, Robert (Fuzzy) Vandevier, Ernest (Griz) Wagner, and Johnnie Wooden. Also honored Wednesday night were members of the Silver Anniversary team, made up of 10 former outstanding high school players 25 years ago. The team included George Sobek, John hines, John Conrad, Don Odle, Charles Caress, Louis Leerkamp, Bob Rensberger, Bob Mygrants, Stanton Cope and Henry Clason. Special recognition was also given to members of the 1938 state high school champions from Fort Wayne South. A former player is eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after his high school career is ended. A coach is eligible 10 years after retirement from high school coaching—or after 25 years of varsity coaching experience.

National Hockey Title To Toronto By United Press International The Toronto Maple Leafs, ovestooked in the pre-season today were celebrating their first National Hockey League championship in 15 yearsWhen the season started, most experts figured the Chicago Black Hawks and the Montreal Canadiens would battle it out for first Idace. However, the Maple Leafs completed one of the strongest stretch runs in NHL history Wednesday night by clinching the pennant with a 3-3 standoff against the Canadians at Toronto. Dave Keon rapped in the tying goal for the Leafs with eight seconds to play —and Toronto goalie Don Simmons sitting on the bench. Hie deadlock gave Toronto a four-point bulge over Chicago and Montreal. All have two games to play. Either the Hawks or Canadiens could still tie Toronto on points, but the Leafs would still emerge as league champions on the basis of most games won. During the celebration in the Toronto dressing room, ManagerCoach Punch Imlach disagreed with a suggestion that the Maple Leafs backed into the title. “That was our tenth straight unbeaten game,” said Punch. ‘‘You don’t call that backing in.” Three weeks ago, the Maple Leafs were in third place, nine points back of Chicago. Then the Black Hawks went into a tailspin, winning only one of nine games, while Toronto breezed through the stretch like Whirlaway. In Wednesday night’s only other NHL action, Vic Hatfield’s three goals paced the New York Rangers to a 5-1 victory over the Boston Bruins. Andy Bathgate of the Rangers picked up three assists to raise his season point total to 78, five less than pace-set-ting Gordie Howe of the Detroit Red Wings.

Anderson Athletic Director Resigns ANDERSpN, Ind. (UPD—Joseph Sparks, athletic director at Anderson High School for the past two years, said Wednesday he will resign in order to have more time with his family. No replacement has been named for Sparks, whose resignation becomes effective at the end of the school year. He said he will continue in an unspecified capacity with the Anderson school system.

the ball well and screen well.” Lafayette's biggest weakness, said Crawley, has been defense and getting into foul trouble. “We are an aggressive ball club, and undoubtedly this has resulted in our defensive weakness.” Crawley depends on six to seven players to carry the load, including Dave Morrison and Bob Rhoda. Crawley scotched rumors he may step down soon as coach—mostly for physical reasons. He, too, underwent an operation last December, but bounced back stronger than ever. “I feel better than I have in the last half a dozen years,” he said. “I guess I'll stick around awhile.” That could be sad news to his coaching rivals.
