Vernon Law To Try Comeback In 1964 PITTSBURGH (UPI) — The comeback trail is a long and rugged one but Vernon Law of the Pittsburgh Pirates feels he can travel it without difficulty. Law, 33, who was placed on the voluntary retired list Aug. 7 after pitching in 18 games for the Pirates, asked for and received permission from the National League club to report to spring training next March in Fort Myers, Fla. If the righthander is successful in his comeback try, he will probably be used as a starter. Arm trouble sidelined him much of the 1961 and 1962 campaigns. He had his best year in 1960 when he won 20 games and lost nine during the regular campaign and then won two World Series games from the New York Yankees. For this he received the Cy Young Award. Last season he sprained his ankle in spring training and spent the first month .of the season with the Pirates’ Kinston, N.C., farm club in an effort to work himself into condition in a warmer climate. He started 12 games and compiled a 4-5 record before going on the voluntarily retired list. Pro Basketball Detroit 124,. Cincinnati 118. -Philadelphia 118, New York 101.

Rote, Blanda Match Wits In AFL Feature HOUSTON (UPI)-Two farmer National Football League quarterbacks in their mid-30s will be out to prove it’s an “old man’s” game Sunday in American Football League clash between division leaders San Diego and Houstpn. Tobin Rote, 35, and George Blanda, 36, will be guiding the Chargers and Oilers, respectively, in what could be a preview of this year’s AFL cham-' pionship game. Tobin is having a great year in his first try at the AFL. San Diego Coach Sid Gillman calls him “as fine a quarterback as I’ve been associated with.” And that includes such ’ signal callers as Norm Van Brocklin, Bob Waterfield, Jackie Kemp, Bill Wade and Frank Ryan. Gillman adds that he believes Rote is just as good as Y. A. Tittle of the Giants. Most football fans thought Rote was through when he played out his option for Detroit in 1960. But Rote went on to play Canadian ball and then to the AFL. He led the Canadian loop in passing in 1960 and *6l and now leads the AFL in yards per pass ad percentage. Blanda is now in his 14th season as a pro. He came to the Oilers in 1960 after being the highest scoring player in Chicago Bear history. He holds many AFL records and is currently third in league passing. Houston Coach Frank (Pop) Ivy admits the party will be over Sunday for his team. San Diego graciously knocked off Houston’s competition in a three-game roadtrip sweep over Buffalo, Boston and New York—all of the Eastern Division.

Week's Schedule Qf Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Marion Bennett at Commodores. Adams Central at Lancaster Central. Ossian at Berne. Saturday Harlan at Monmouth. . Lafayette And Muncie Tabbed Top Contenders By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Preaa International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - North Central Conference cousins Lafayette and Muncie Central, perennial hardwood powers, today were selected as top candidates for the 1964 Indiana high school basketball title. And just to make it a virtual clean sweep for the league that , has grabbed the coveted crown 18 times, coaches polled by United Press International for the annual guessing game also tabbed Anderson and Kokomo. Lafayette, with ' most of its horses back and which lost to Muncie in the afternoon round of the four-team tourney finals last March, received 15 votes from the experts, Muncie 14. Anderson was backed eight times, Kokomo six times. From there, it dropped off considerably. South Bend Central, runnerup to Muncie last spring, Roosevelt and Froebel of Gary, Columbus and Elkhart all were considered capable of making life miserable for their rivals. At the same time, it may be difficult for any one team to establish a clear - cut superiority over its neighbors in the biggest cities. At Indianapolis, for instance, Cathedral, Tech and Washington—not necessarily in that order—were picked as the most likely powers to succeed. At Fort Wayne, Central and Concordia could be tops. Bosse, North and Rex Mundi were considered the teams to beat in Evansville. And Washington may be Central’s toughest foe in South Bend. Hie exception could be in Terre Haute, where Garfield’s surprise 1963 state tourpey finalists under Willard Kehrt have 8 of 12 boys back and are considered the bunch to beat. Muncie, Lafayette and Kokomo are among the ' “name” teams ushering in the new season this weekend. > - The coaches figured that Columbus, only major team unbeaten in last year’s regular season, is the crew to beat for South Central Conference hon- 1 ors, with Jeffersonville the likely top challenger. Other conference favorites, not necessarily in order, include: Central — Tipton, Huntington, Peru. Northern — Elkhart, Michigan City, Mishawaka, Goshen, Central and Washington of South Bend. Northwest — Gary Froebel, Hammond Clark. Roosevelt and Washington of East Chicago. Southern—Princeton to go with the Evansville elite. In the North Central, New Castle should be added, at least as a “sleeper,” since Les Ray has most of his experienced players back. Otto Graham Voted Top Pro Quarterback NEW YORK (UPI) - Otto Graham, who led the Cleveland Browns to three National Football league championships in six years, today was named the greatest pro quarterback of all time by a panel of the country's leading sports writers and sportscasters. Graham coached the Coast Guard Academy to its first perfect season this year<~~He" was • (followed in the balloting by Sammy Baugh. Tony Hinkle Named As Coach Os Year GREENCASTLE, Ind. (UPD - Tony Hinkle, who coached Butler to its sixth consecutive Indiana Collegiate Conference football championship this 'year, was named ICC “coach of t h e year” Wednesday for the fifth time in 13 years. ICC players and coaches also named quarterback Dave Lass 6f Valparaiso an deenter Richard Dean of DePauw as most valuable back and lineman respectively.

To Announce Big Ten Team7 After Contest By United Press International There's going to be a double climax at East Lansing Saturday, where the Michigan State Spartans host Illinois for the deciding game of the Big Ten football race. “ Conference commiss i o n e r Bill Reed has promised to announce the Big Ten representative in the Rose Bowl immediately after the game. And under the selection system either MSU or Illinois is a cinch to be named as the conference’s “most representative team.” Coach Pete Elliott of Illinois warned his players Wednesday that their big job Saturday will be trying to halt the explosive running of the Spartans’ mighty mite, halfback Sherman Lewis. \“Give him an inch—and he’s gone” Elliott told the squad. At Michigan State, center Don Ross ignored the word of the team physician who said Ross’ ankle injury will keep him out of action Saturday. “I’ll oe ready,” Ross vowed. Indiana, plagued with injuries all season, received good news. Guard Melvin Branch and end Bob DeStafano re- ' turned to practice and coach Phil Dickens said two other injured players—end Tony Rocco and halfback D»pn Dilly — may be able to play in the season’s finale. < Purdue coach Jack Mollenkopf, who sent his squad through a long offensive and defensive review, said he probably “Would make no line u p changes for the game. Barry Dehlin, Michigan re- ? serve fullback, injured in a scrimmage Tuesday, should be ready for the Ohio State game, coach Bump Elliott reported. At Ohio State, halfback Don Harkins avoided contact work but tackle Doug Van Horn returned to practice. The Buckeyes play at Michigan Saturday. Three injured Wisconsin players were back at practice, but guard John Hohman, who has a knee injury, remained doubtful for the game at Minnesota this week. Minnesota worked on both offense and defense; with quarterbacks Bob Sadek and Larry Peterson alternating the pass- ' ing chores. lowa coach Jerry Burns said he was disappointed with the “flat” performance of his Hawkeyes in a 90-minute workout. “It seems the team no longer enjoys hitting. . .and we’re in for a long afternoon Saturday” against Notre Dame. Coach Hugh Devore of Notre Dame eased up on practice, running the Irish through a dummy scrimmage. Despite a steady rain, Devore stressed passing with Alex Bonvechio and John • Huarte doing the hurling. ■ 1 I ) -I I . .

Cassius Clay Plans Move To Work NEW YORK (UPI) — New York City’s director of Selective Service said today that Cassius Clay’s transfer of physical examination and reported shift of residence to New York need have no effect upon the date of his possible indiction by Uncle Sam. Col. Paul Akst explained: “The date of his induction will still depend upon the needs of his local draft board at Louisville, Ky. His local board of registration will . always be the local board of jurisdiction.” The date of induction is very important to heavyweight challenger Clay, who is signed for a title fight with champion Sonny Liston sometime in February at a city to be announced soon. Were he to be drafted before the end of February, Clay—who will be 22 on Jan. 17—might be deprived of a tremendous purse and his shot at the most valuable title in all sports. Cassius had been scheduled to take his pre-induction physical today at hometown Louisville. But his Louisville attorney asked for a transfer of examination to New York. And Clay, now in New York, not only asked for an examination transfer at New York Selective Service headquarters Wednesday; but, according to a Clay secretary, f went real estate shopping on |
