Baltimore Jurors Probe Boxer's Death BALTIMORE (UPI) -Weighin inspectors Leon Yarneth and Phil Jachelski were scheduled to appear today before the grand jury investigating the ring death of boxer Ernie Knox. Yarneth and Jachelski are considered key men in the investigation which is concentrating on a mysterious discrepancy of 25 pounds in two reports on the boxer’s weight. Knox of Batimore, 216, was knocked out in the ninth round by heavyweight Wayne Bethea of New York at the Batimore Coliseum last Monday night. He died Wednesday morning from a blood clot on the brain. At Monday’s weight-in, before the fight, Knox’s weight was announced as 178 pounds. Bethea’s figure was 205. But the grand jury investigation was touched off Thursday when the state medical examiner’s office disclosed that Knox’s body weighed only 153 pounds at Wednesday’s autopsy. The grand jury wants to find out whether a 153-pound middleweight instead of a 178pound heavyweight was tossed into the ring against 205-pound Bethea for a fatal mismatchthrough negligence or conspiracy. The Maryland State Athletic Commission, which appointed inspectors Yarneth and Jachelski, had been scheduled to open its own investigation Thursday night; but it postponed the probe until the Baltimore Grand Jury finishes its work.

They are Fred Riddle, the Hawkeye thrower whose five touchdown passes set a Big Ten record last Saturday, and Harold Brandt, definitely the best of Milt Bruhn’s corps of quarterbacks. Riddle has a .625 completion average, completing 10 ot 16 passes for 155 yards, and trails only Myers in the league statistics. Brandt, who throws left-hand-ed, has connected on 14 of 22 shots for 196 yards. His completion percentage of .636 is the best of the top ttiree quarterbacks. The two teams are fairly well matched offensively and defensively. The Badgers are tops in the conference on offense, set- , ting the pace in scoring, first downs, yards gained and passing average. The Hawkeyes are ranked second on offense. The two teams crowd each other near the bottom of the list on defense with Wisconsin ranked eighth and lowa ninth. Three other conference games are scheduled. Minnesota is at Illinois in a homecoming battle expected to draw 65,000 persons, Purdue is at Michigan in a regionally televised tilt, and winless Indiana tries its luck at Michigan State. Northwestern is home to Miami of Ohio, and Ohio State, the nation’s fourth-ranked football power, goes to the West Coast as a four-point underdog against Southern California. The largest crowd in three years was expected at Champaign where Illinois will trot out its best team in about five years. The mini, who tied Ohio State last week, were favored by" three points. Michigan battled Michigan State to a tie in its only league action. Purdue, which also has one conference game behind it, lost to Wisconsin. The MichiganPurdue match was rated even. Indiana's problem was how to replace Marv Woodson, the tri-ple-threat halfback who starred even in the Hoosiers’ losses. Woodson suffered a knee injury last Saturday and was definitely sidelined this week. There was some doubt he would be able to play at all this season. Michigan State was a 14-point choice. • Miami, where Northwestern’s Ara Parseghian rose to coaching fame, was a 24-point underdog to the Wildcats. Messenger Stakes Draws Top Pacer WESTBURY, N. Y.„ (UPI) — Roosevelt Raceway’s $150,000 Messenger Stakes has attracted the world’s fastest pacer for its eighth running, Nov. 2. Overtrick, who established the mile standard of 1:57 1-5 for halfmile tracks, was entered in the pace for three-year-olds Thursday.

Packers Meet Cardinals In NFL Feature By NORMAN MILLER UPI Sports Writer The champion Green Bay Packers, just about everybody’s pre-season picks to succeed, and the upstart St. Louis Cardinals, who were favored by practically nobody, reach a crisis state in their National Football League goals Sunday. The NFL schedule-maker who arranged this inter-confer-ence matchup last spring undoubtedly never realized just how important it would turn out Both the Packers and the Cardinals have a 4-1 record that puts them runnerup in each division behind the unbeaten Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns. Since the Bears and Browns figure to extend their records to 6-0 Sunday, a defeat by the Packers or Cards would leave either in a tough contending position two games behind the lead. Packers Solid Favorites The Packers are 9-point favorites for their first regular season visit to St. Louis. Oddly, in the five inter-tonference games that have been played so far in the NFL Eastern Division clubs have won every one. The Bears, Browns, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers all were made one-sid-ed favorites to win Sunday. The Bears were a whopping 17 points over the Forty Niners at San Francisco; the Browns 11 at home over the Philadelphia Eagles; the Giants 10 at home over the Dallas Cowboys, and the Steelers 10 at home over the Washington Redskins. In Sunday’s two other games, the Detroit Lions were 1-point favorites at home against the Baltimore Colts, and the Minnesota Vikings were picked by 6 points over the Rams at Los Angeles. Aside from a few not-too-ser-ious bruises, the Packers and Cards are in good shape for Sunday’s game which was expected to draw about 25,000 "fans to Busch Stadium. Taylor To Return The Packers had a scare last Sunday when they scored a 3728 win over Minnesota, but Coach Vince Lombardi undoubtedly will have his men “higher” for the game against the Cards. Fullback Jim Taylor, held out for a good portion of the Vikings game because of a groin injury, was expected to play full-time Sunday. The Cards’ offense, directed by young Charley Johnson, has generated more yardage (2,056) than any team in the league. Most of it (1,214) has come from Johnson’s passes to Bobby Joe Conrad and Sonny Randle. Now however, the Cards have John Davis Crow back again to supplement the rushing of Joe Childress and Billy Triplett. On the West Coast,* Coach George Halas fretted about his Bears coming up “flat” for their apparent soft-touch against the winless (0-5) Forty Niners. Halas said he also would not be surprised to see the Forty Niners resort to the “shotgun” attack they used with some success two years ago. Browns Lose Linebackers Cleveland meets the Eagles in between two meetings with the Giants and Coach Blaton Collier also warned his men not to look backward or forward. The Brown#’ linebacking corps was decimated last week by the loss of Mike Lucci and another injury to Galen Fiss. The Eagles (2-2-1) are always a threat as long as Sonny Jurgensen and Tommy McDonald are in the lineup. The Giants face a “must” game against the Cowboys, who showed signs of jelling in their season's first win last Sunday over the Lions. Running back Don Perkins of Dallas and flanker Frank Gifford and offensive tackle Jack Stroud all are doubtful starters. Bill Howton of the Cowboys can break another of Don Hutson’s NFL career records Sunday if he catches six passes against the Giants. John Henry Johnson of the Steelers, who has been on the threshhold of joining the 5,000yard rushing club for the past few weeks, once again may be delayed in reaching his goal because of injuries. Fullback Don Bossier and defensive back Jim Steffens return to the Redskins. The Lions, with a 2-3 record that has all. but dropped them out of contention, plan to keep a stiff upper lip in their game against the Colts (also 2-3). And the Rams, seeking their first win, will scrap their quarterback shuffle system and play Roman Gabriel against Jthe Vikings (2-3).

Boston Celtics Win Second In A Row It’s two-for-two today for the Boston Celtics —a team so great it can lose Bob Cousy and go on winning like they never heard of the bldke. Twenty-four hours after blitzing the Baltimore Bullets, the Celtics scored their second straight victory of the National Basketball Association season Thursday night, 93-92, over the Cincinnati Royals at Cincinnati. The loss was Cincinnati’s first in a home opener since 1957. Bill Russell connected with a free throw with seven seconds remaining to give the Celtics a 93-90 lead and they let Oscar Robertson drive in unmolested for a two-pointer as time ran out. The Celtics went “cold’’ in the fourth period, hitting only 2 of 26 field goal attempts, and were outscored, 27-11, in the final quarter. Sam Jones scored 24 points and John Havlicek had 21 for the Celtics while Robertson led the Royals with 20. Former Ohio State All American Jerry Lucas had 13 points and 20 rebounds for the Royals. The Bullets rebounded from their Wednesday night loss to the Celtics by beating the New York Knickerbockers, 115-113, at New York. Si Green hit two free throws to give the Bullets a one-point lead with less than a minute to play and then stole the ball to clinch the victory. Terry Dischinger led the Bullets with 25 points and Johnny Green had 23 for the Knicks. New York Coach Eddie Donovan was ejected from the game with nine minutes remaining for what referee Earl Strom said was “constant bickering, shouting and second-guessing.” If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want ads — they get BIG results.
