Steve Blythe Standout In I. U. Practice • Freshman Steve Blythe, son of Mr .and Mrs. Harold Blythe, 221 Stratton Way, was one of the standout performers in the annual Crimson vs. Cream intra-squad game ending Indiana University's spring football practice Saturday. A 1962 graduate of Decatur Catholic high school, Blythe was one of the outstanding individuals as the Crimson beat the Cream 20-14. The intra-squad clash is an annual affair which winds up the I. U. spring football practice each year. , The Decatur young man is a pre medical student at Indiana U., and will be a sophomore at the start of the school year in September. Blythe played for the Crimson squad, and gained a total of 25 yards in a pair of carries for his team, one of which was a neartouchdown gallop. Listad As Standout Following ns the opening paragraph of the story carried in Sunday’s Indianapolis Times: “AllAmerican candidate Marv Woodson and sophomores-to-be Frank Stravroff, Steve Blythe, and Jim Smith were standouts today as the Crimson beat the Cream 20-14, in the annual inter-squad game ending Indiana’s spring football practice.’ Another paragraph states. “Blythe rambled 25 yards on two carries for the Crimson, while Smith punched out 32 yards in nine hauls for the Cream.” The oldest of six boys in the Blythe family, Steve played fullback for the Crimson sauad, and saw two quarters of action. Junior High Grad What makes his performance even more outstanding is the fact that Blythe never played high uchoool football, although he played two years of junior high footfall while in the seventh and eighth grade. ’ * One of the top students in his class, Blythe was a top performer for Decatur Catholic in basketball and baseball.

Steve Blythe Arnold Palmer To Have Physical Exam LATROBE, Pa. (UPD—Arnold Palmer, his golf game at its lowest point in years, will enter a hospital today or Wednesday for a complete physical examination. “I don’t feel bad,” Arnie said "But I’m going to have my doctor look me over.” Palmer said the outcome of the examination will determine whether he will compete in any tournaments before the U.S. Open. “I’ll have something to say after the checkup,’’ he said. “Right now, in the foreseeable future, the first possible (tournament) would be the Buick. If not that the Thunderbird, which is the week before the Open,” Palmer said. Palmer played in the Colonial Open at Fort Worth, Tex., last week and posted a 299, the second worst 72-hole score of his pro career. He won only $l7O and dropped to third on the list of professional golf’s money winners. A published report from Fort Worth said Palmer had undergone minor surgery while competing in the Colonial. Palmer only laughed when asked to comment on the report . Queried as to whether he faced surgery in the immediate future, he replied, “1 hope not.” Palmer said he planned to spend more of the time between now and the start of the Open at his home here. “I’m a little tired,” he said. "It’s time that I take a rest.” His wife, Winnie, was nettled by the surgery report. “Some sports writer called here and I told him it was not true,” she said. “I don’t know why they .bother to. call me when they turn" around and print the story the way they want to anyhow.”,,. John Boyer Named Coach At Hoagland John Boyer, graduate of Ball State Teachers College, and head coach at Center high school in Delaware county the past three years, has been named head basketball, baseball and volleyball coach at the Hoagland high school. Boyer succeeds Mark Schoeff, who resigned recently, and has accepted a position in the Fort Wayne community schools.

Rookies Take Tests For Speedway Race INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Rookies Jack Conely of Brighton, Mich., and Pedro Rodriguez of Mexico City, Mexico, were scheduled to complete the third and final phases of their driving tests today at the Indianapolis Speedway in preparation for the start of qualifications riext weekend son the 500mile race. Rodriguez, who has been road racing internationally since 1958, finished the first two phases of the test Monday after he was pulled off the track on complaint of veteran Gene Hartley, who said Rodriguez crowded him. „ Meanwhile, a total of 47 cars were taken out for runs in the near-ideal racing weather, and at least five drivers were clocked at unofficial speeds of 149 miles per hour or better. They included Jim Clark of Duns, Scotland; Eddie Sachs of Detroit, Mich.; Don Branson of Champaign, Ill.; A. J. Foyt of Houston, Tex., winner of the 500 in 1961, and Jim Hurtubise of North Tonawanda, N.Y. Branson escaped unhurt in the only crash that marred the day’s practice, driving the car that Rodger Ward of Indianapolis ; drove to victory in last year’s Memorial Day classic. It was the seventh crash since- practice opened May 1. Observers said he apparently lost control going at high speed in the southeast turn, spun, and the roadster hit the outside retaining ~ wall tail first. The car then slid sideways another 400 feet and stopped in the middle of the track. The car was not damaged badly. Officials saicj, Branson was blocked at a speed of 148 miles an hour for the lap just before the crash. When you wish to remove a stubborn press-on knob from the radio or TV, just loop a twisted scrap of strong, soft cloth behind the knob, gripping the loose ends firmly in your fingers. Press against the cabinet front with your thumb tips, at the same time polling firmly on the cloth. The knob should work free without damage to cabinet or knob.

The carpet sweeper is a handy tool and is especially good for frequent light picktips. (2) Carefully vacuum your Aigs once or twice a week. (3) Have your rugs professionally cleaned at least once 1 a year.

Chance Hurls Win In Relief Against Sox By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer It's Bo Belinsky who gets the headlines but it’s Deßn Chance, the junior partner in the Los Angeles Angels’ traveling night club, Who gets the wins. And, at the rate they’re going, it won’t be long before the handsome, 21-year-old Chance becomes the big league celebrity and audacious, fun-loving Bo is just a guy engaged to Mamie Van Doren. Belinsky is finding things mighty tough in his second year in the big leagues with a 1-5 record to show for 1963 while Chance continues to demonstrate that he’s always as ready to answer Manager Bill Rigney’s call for pitching help as he is to paint the town—any town—red. Chance was routed in a mere 1 1-3 innings by the Chicago White Sox Sunday but bounced right back Monday night with a powerful middle-inning relief job that earned him his third victory of the season and enabled the Angels to beat the White Sox, 7-3. The win squared Chance’s 1963 record at 3-3—and cut the White Sox’ American League lead to one game. Boston Beats Senators Boston Red Sox fired a salvo of seven extra base hits to down the Washington Senators, 8-5, while the Houston Colts got excellent pitching again to beat the New York Mets, 4-2, in the only other major league games played on Monday. Chance, 14-10 in his rookie season, allowed only one hit and one run in three innings before Julio Navarro inherited a 6-3 lead and closed out the victory for the Angels. Leon Wagner had a homer and two singles, Jim Fregosi hit a triple and a double and Ed Sadowski had a homer and a single to lead the Angels’ 10-hit attack against Eddie Fisher and three Chicago relief pitchers. Jim Landis, Pete Ward and Charlie Maxwell had two hits each for the White Sox, who lost their second straight game after their sevengame winning stread was broken. Conley Shaping Up Frank Malzone, Dick Stuart and Bob Tillman homered for the Red Sox, who have won 10 of 13 games at Boston’s Fenway Park. Gene Conley, rounding into form after a slow start following his season’s Work in the National Basketball Association, went 6 2-3 innings to pick up his second victory with the powerful relief aid of Smokey the Bear Radatz. Radatz, 6-6, 245-pound firebailer rapidly becoming recognized as the No. 1 relief pitcher in the majors, allowed the Senators one hit and no runs over the last 2 1-3 innings. The Colts rolled to their fifth straight victory when Don McMahon bailed out Bob Bruce in the ninth inning by striking out Cliff Cook with the tying runs on base. Bruce ran out of gas in the ninth after striking out 11 Mets and allowing only three hits in 8 2-3 innings- Johnny Temple had two hits and Rusty Staub a triple for the Colts who tied the idle Milwaukee Braves for ninth place in the NL as a result of the victory.

Lopez charged Chance with throwing the illegal pitch in the Angels’ 7-3 victory over the White Sox Monday nightThe veteran Lopez who both batted against and caught the spit ball, said he has seen more spitters thrown this season than he has detected in “many years.” “That Chance threw a couple of dandies last night,” Lopez said. “He threw one that (Nellie) Fox didn’t hit and one that (Floyd) Robinspn did. It reminded me of Burleigh Grimes in the good old days.” Chance received several warnings from plate umpire Bill Kinnamon to wipe his hands off after White Sox batters complained. But Lopez contended it should be the responsibility of the other umpires to watch for the pitch. Bill Rigney, manager of the Angels, admitted Chance gave the impression he might be throwing a ball. “I don’t know if Chance threw spitters or not. He does - have a habit of spitting on the ball but he dries it off,” Rigney said. Chance refused to comment on the charges.

Senate Staff Probes Death Os ProGridder WASHINGTON (UPD—The chief counsel for the Senate investigations subcommittee said today that a preliminary study, linked to the death of pro football star Gene (Big Daddy) Lipscomb, indicates that there is no extensive use of narcotics by pro grid players. Jerome Adlerman also said that Senate staff investigators are quietly checking to determine whether there were links between Lipscomb's death and the gambling and narcotics’ rackets. Lipscomb, a 290-pound star tackle for the Pittsburgh Settlers, died early last Friday from what authorities presume to have been an overdose of narcotics. Results of tests of Lipscomb’s organs are due. later this week. “We have been checking into whether there is any extensive use of narcotics among pro fotball players,” said Adlerman. “But so far our evidence indicates that there is not. Authorities seem to agree that a man couldn’t continue to use narcotics and play pro football.’’ “There have been some deaths due t o the use of narcotics smuggled into the country under unusual circumstances in which the heroin was not repeatedly cut at each stage of handling as is the usual way,” he explained. "Sometimes a user can get an overdose from heroin that is much stronger than that to which he has become accustomed.” In Baltimore, meanwhile, a 32-year-old man sought in connection with Lipscomb’s death was taken into police custody Monday- The unidentified man is alleged to have attempted to revive Lipscomb when the latter became unconscious. Timothy Black, 25, who had been with Lipscomb Friday morning when he died, is being held under SIO,OOO bail on charges of possessing narcotics equipment. He is to,receive a hearing in Baltimore on Friday. Practice Schedules Tuesday Cubs, 4:30 p. m., McMillen. Senators, 6 p. m., Northwest. Wednesday Senators, 6 p. m.„ Northwest.
