Commodore Athletes Are Given Awards "I believe life is taught in basketball,” Jin Hinga, head basketball coach at Ball State Teachers College, told those in at* tendance at the Decatur Catholic high school awards banquet, held Wednesday evening in the Knights of Cblumbus hall. Hinga was the main speaker for the affair, which saw the various athletic awards made to boys lettering in basketball, rifle dub, baseball and cross country during the past year. Letter and sweater awards were also presented to the varsity and reserve team cheerleaders for the past basketball season. The Ball State coach explained the three bones that his department “works on” in basketball, the head bone, the funny bone and the back bone, and he said “we ask our kids to play the game of life to the hilt.” Hinga, who was head roundball coach at North Side high school in Fort Wayne, before taking the college post nearly ten years ago, related many of the funnier experiences he witnessed while coaching at the Fort Wayne school and the Muncie college. Gives Philosophy He explained that young men take something away from basketball that they use in later life, as they learn how to win, how to lose, sacrifice, etc., which brought about his philosophy of basketball —that life is taught in the sport. He said to the young Decatur Catholic athletes that “you kids have to take every challenge that comes and have to do a better job with each.” Hinga concluded his talk by saying, “Instead of looking around when you’re in trouble, you ought to look up.” Julius Baker, who introduced the speaker, was a clever toastmaster for the affair. The blessing was given by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Simeon Schmitt and the benediction by the Rev. Robert Contant. Coaches Make Awards Head basketball coach George Waning and rifle club coach Donald F. Gage, each thanked their athletes, the fans and parents, and their assistant coaches, for the worn and cooperation during the past’year. The two eoaetees made the letter awards to their respective winners. Msgr. Schmitt had opened the banquet by expressing thanks and appreciation to the coaches for their time and work of many long hours. He gave “best wishes to the seniors,” and said.” we hope to have you underclassmen back here next year.” The Rev. Robert Ueber, athletic director, also spoke briefly, congratulating the award winners in saying, “This is symbol of efforts and sacrifices they have made.” The Decatur Catholic high athletic director thanked all who have

The clocking was only 1% mph shy of the one-lap record of 150.729 Jones set last May. The Costa Mesa, Calif., speedster was timed at 149.254 mph in another lap during the preliminary runs on the car. Additional practice time was scheduled for today, after which the track will be closed down for repairs and its annual spring cleaning in preparation for the 500-mile Memorial Day race. Mechanics said the car was having carburetion problems, and Gurney commented that, “If we can get those carburetors working right, we can start going fast.” Adjustments in the engine will be made with the aid of an electronic data box located behind the driver’s seat recording the functions of the engine. One of the Chevrolet-powered cars owned by Mickey Thompson and driven by rookie Bill Krause was forced from the tests earlier with mechanical trouble and shipped back to the west coast with two or three other cars. Thompson said he would be back in April prepared to resume practice when the track officially Fegley 143, Hazel Brunner 143, Nancy Kershner 147-169-147 ( 463), Barbara Andrews 153, Sally Ross 149, Ethel Bolinger 146.

Jim O'Toole Is Impressive In Spring Games By United Press International Add Jim O’Toole to the reasons Grapefruit League observers are predicting that the Cincinnati Reds will make a strong bid this year to recapture the National League pennant they lost last year. The Reds made their run for the 1962 pennant just a bit too late — and one reason was that O’Toole didn’t begin to win consistently until mid-season. He stood only 4-9 on June 20 but wound up with a 16-13 markO’Toole, a 19-game winner when the Reds won the flag in 1961, has been one of the most impressive pitchers of the spring. He went six innings in the Reds’ 6-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers „ Wednesday at Vero Beach. Fla., and now has a string of 14 consecutive shutout innings. Blast 13 Hits O’Toole, who yielded four hits'? was backed by a 13-hit attack that included a homer by Gordon Coleman and doubles by Don Blasingame, Chico Ruiz, Wally Post, Johnny Edwards and pitcher John Flavin. The New York Mets scored their fifth victory in seven games when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals. Craig Anderson, who had lost 16 decisions in regular N.L. play since last May, tasted victory for the first time in 10 months. Frank Thomas homered for the Mets. Jim Bunning, a 19-game winner last season, was hit hard in the early innings but became the first Detroit Tiger pitcher to go the nine inning distance in a 6-1 loss to the Milwaukee Braves. Lew Burdette and Bob Hendley teamed for a six-hitter for the Braves, who had three-run uprisings in the first and third innings. Early Wynn took another firm step along the comeback trail as he combined with Eddie Fisher to pitch the Chicago White Sox to a 3-0 triumph over the Washington Senators. Wynn, who yielded one hit for the first three innings, has allowed only one run and two hits in his last nine innings. He needs one more major league win to reach the 300-level. Lopes Checks A’s Marcelino Lopez yielded only two hits in six innings and also homered as the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Kansas City Athletics, 9-2, and snapped th? A’s four-game winning streak. Richie Allen also hit a homer for the Phillies while Norm Siebern homered for Kansas City. First-baseman Joe Pepitone, Bill Skowron’s heir apparent, hit two homers and Elston Howard hit one *to lead the New York Yankees to a 7-6 decision over the Minnesota Twins. Harmon Killebrew belted his first homer of the spring and Bernie Allen also connected for the Twins. The Los Angeles Angels edged out the Boston Red Sox, 4-3, on a ninth-inning homer by Eddie Sadowski, who unloaded against left-hander Wilbur Wood. Former Yankee 21-game winner Bob Turley struck out seven and walked one in a six-inhing performance for the Angels. A homer by Ernie Banks and triples by Andre Rodgers and Lou Brock were the big blows for the Chicago Cubs, who shaded the Cleveland Indians, 12-11- Bob Buhl was bounced around for seven runs in seven innings by the Indians but was the winning pitcher. The NL champion San Francisco Giants gave their Tacoma farmhands something about which to write home when they lost to them, 10-9. Marion Talton broke up the game with a basesfillcd single in the ninth. opens May 1. It was expected by many that the rear-engine Lotus cars would exceed 150 mph in qualifications for the Memorial Day classic. The Speedway said repairs to the track may cost as much as $20,000. One observer said it was in the worst shape in nearly 20 years, mainly as a result of the severe winter.

Butts' Lawyer Says To Try Case In Court ATLANTA (UPD — The attorney for former University of Georgia Athletic Director Wallace Butts said Wednesday he has advised his client against taking a second lie detector test in connection with an aUeged Southeastern Conference football scandal. “My advice to my client must be to let us try his case in the court house where it belongs and that he should not go on submitting to lie detector tests at random in spite of his willingness to do so,” attorney William Schroder wrote State Attorney General Eugene Cook Cook is investigating an accusation in a recent Saturday Evening Post article that Butts gave Georgia team secrets to Alabama coach Paul (Bear) Bryant in a long distance telephone conversation prior to the 1962 GeorgiaAlabama game which Alabama won 35-0. Butts and Bryant both have denied any attempt to rig the game and both took lie detector tests which attorneys said indicated their innocence. Cook said, however, the tests were not “polygraphs” and he wanted the State Bureau of Investigation to conduct tests on Butts and Bryant. Bryant’s attorneys refused the request Tuesday. Cook said that Butts telephoned known gamblers shortly before the

Georgia-Alabama game last fall but he emphasized there was no evidence that Butts profited from any gambling on the game. “Insofar as is known,” Cook said, Bryant "definitely” was not involved in any of the calls to gamblers. Schrixler said he could not understand Cook’s statements, which he called contradictory. He said Donald F. O’Donnell, chief counsel for the U.S. Senate investigations subcommittee, “has repeatedly stated that he has uncovered no evidence that either Coach Butts or Coach Bryant had been or were engaged in any gambling activities.” A joint committee of the Alabama legislature begins its investigation into the allegations today at Montgomery, Ala.
