May Operate On Macmillan Thursday

LONDON iUPIi — Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, hprd at work in a hospital bed, reported “quite comfortable today”, despite a prostate gland ailment which may lead him to retire; The 69-year-old-Conservative leader "is extremely well and cheerful and is working from papers on his bed,” Dr. Sir John Richardson said after seeing Macmillan this morning. The prime minister's son Maurice said his father was “quite comfortable” after spending the night at King Edward VII Hospital. Engineers today attached a portable "scrambler” to Macmillan’s bedside telephone to enable him to carry on confidential government work. Foreign Secretary Lord -Home and an aide arrived at the hospital late this morning carrying briefcases. Richardson said that if investigations being conducted into Macmillan’s condition were satisfactory, the premier would be operated on Thursday morning. Macmillan May Retire The illness, although not considered serious in itself, added weight to speculation that Macmillan soon may retire. At the same time, it improved the position of Deputy Premier IL A. Butler, who became acting premier for the duration of Macmillan’s incapacity. Butler was the favorite of observers speculating on a possible successor to Macmillan, and taking over the prime minister’s duties for such a length of time during such a crucial political period was bound to strengthen his pos’tion. Two other party leaders, Science MiriTs’ter Lord Hailsham and Reginald Maudling, the chancellor of the Exchequer, also had wide support. , Blow To Career Blow To Career The illness was a blow to Macmillan at an important time in his ' political career. For many months, he has fought back against demands by Labor and by Conservative mavericks that he step down. The

Hammond High Still Tops In Prep Rankings By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS <UPD— Myth-! ical state defending champion Hammond was firmly entrenched today in the No. 1 spot in Indiana high school football. The--Wildcats, four- games removed from another perfect season and considered a shoo-in for the Northwest Conference crown, topped the 'United Press International coaches’ board ratings for the third consecutive week, again missing a perfect score by a single point. Hammond collected 9 of 10 first-place votes and one runnerup ballot • for 99 of a possible 100 points. Kokomo, which replaced Evansville Reitz as runnerup, got the other first-pface vote and finished with 81 points, 18 less than the front-running Wildcats. Kokomo was third last week. New Albany, which clipped Reitz’s 32-game unbeaten string last Saturday, 19-13, climbed from fifth to third place with 77 points. South Bend Central remained eighth, but all other “Big TO” places also had new occupants. Cathedral Elevated Elkhart was elevated from sev-' enth place to fourth, Richmond j

But in the cold hard realm of conscientious preparation for a football game, Illinois won on “98 touchdown pass.” It was a 32-yard lateral-forward scoring pass from Fred Custardo to Ron Fearn to Jim Warre, and it was the spark that ignited Illinois to come from behind and upset the Wildcats. It also won for Illini Coach Pete Elliott, whose teams in the past two seasons had won only two of 18 games, honor as United Press Internationa’s college football “coach of the week." “That play was one of those things that worked,” Elliott said. ‘.‘lt was nothing new, and not my iaea. It came from the staff. Bill Take brought it up first and then our quarterback, Mike Taliaferro, suggested it. “We kicked it around, and worked on it Wednesday. And the way it ended up, we didn’t fool the guy we figured to fool, Northwestern’s deep back, Roland Wahl, but Warren got behind him anyway. It always set up for Fearn to throw to Warren, but it didn't make any difference

whether Custardo or Taliaferro was at quarterback. “We had some other plays, and we .won’t talk about them. They didn’t work anything like this. This is the only play we ever called with a touchdown in it, and I guess it got that ‘flipper dipper’ name because talking about it after the game I said something like ‘that flipper-dipper thing’, but it’s- ‘9B touchdown pass.’ ” Elliott, 37, in his 15th year of coaching, wouldn’t credit the one play with the victory. Instead he' credited his entire squad with an all-out heads-up performance. “Everybody played hard, but not over our heads,” he said. “Then we got a couple of breaks and you have to have those to' win. Northwestern was keyed up and played good. But we played with pride in the Illinois football team.” If you have something to sell or ads — thev get BIG results ‘fade — use the Democrat Want I
