By Kt’RT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) —lndiana University's sensational swimmers continued their mighty sweep of honors during 1963 to share top billing in the Hoosier World of Sports with Muncie Central's basketball heroes. » On the professional level, the Indianapolis Indians were not to be denied in their first and only season in the International League. And auto racing/"weathered a few storms to *rack up one of its most successful —and certainly its most profitable year ever. - ,V j’ Jim <Doc) Counsilman's Indiana swimmers did it again. Besides outclassing the field in the Big Ten meets, they churned to easy victories in the indoor and outdoor AAU meets—under the Indianapolis Athletic Club banner—winning the outdoor spectacle for the seventh consecutive .year. Ted Stickles. Tom Stock, Chet Jastremski, Fred Schmidt, Dick Blick, I .ary fcq) Schulhof and diver Rick Gilbert were among the classy youngsters under Counsilman’s tutelage. Counsilman was rewarded by being selected coach of the 1964 U.S. Olympic, swimming team. He also was elected president of the American Swimming Coaches Association and recipient of this year’s AAU swimming award for having done the most for the sport during 1963.

But once it is learned that San Rafael had a 23-degree night, it can be grasped that it’s net glass at all. but a few icy chunk* from a large frozen puddle. ’

The line could let an example of modern, high-speed, intercity transportation for the rest of the world.
Jean Ann Stars On the distaff side, too. Hoosier swimmers made their marks. Shelbyville’s lithe Jean Ann Dellekamp stroked to victory in the 100 and 200-meter breaststroke in the National AAU meet. And Kathy Elis of Indianapois won the 100-meter butterfly in the ■ Pan-AMerican Games in 1:07.6 for a meet record, finished third in the PanAm 100 freestyle and shattered the listed 100 butterfly world record in the National AAU meet in 1:06.5. The Pan-Am Games at Sao *Paulo produced other Hoosier winners, in swimming, Jastremski won the 200 breaststroke and 14-year-old Maddie Ellis of Indianapolis was on the winning 400meter freestyle relay. Divers Tom Dinsley, an Indiana University senior, captured the 3-meter crown for Canada and Gilbert was second. ? - ■' Indianapolis schoolteacher Jo Ann Terry won the 80-meter hurdles in women’s track. This was the year Muncie. Central finally cashed in on its fifth Indiana high school basketball crown, giving the proud Bearcats from Delaware County more IHSAA hardwood trophies: than any other team. It also made a hero of Ike Tailman, filling for John Longfellow, who was on a leave of absence. Longfellow resigned as coach in February, leaving a brilliant record of 121 victories against 19 losses in five years
at Muncie, and Tallman took over for good. Historic “Fifth” Columbus, Eminence and Loogootee reached the trail untouched, but Muncie, beaten during the season only by South Bend Central, avenged that defeat by dumping the Bears, 6561, for its history making “fifth.” Besides Longfellow, the Hoosier high school coaching ranks lost another prominent member —Madison’s Bud Ritter. The former Evansville Bosse and Purdue hardwood star resigned to devote full time to his many business interests. But he also left his mark in the record books. In nine years, Ritter's Madison Cubs won 171 (games while losing 42. -They established the longest regular ■- seasoh winning streak ever put together by an Indiana schoolboy crew— 61 games. Indiana’s Branch McCracken, the late Robert S. Hinshaw, Archie Chadd, "Stretch” Murphy and George Spradling were inducted into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. Former IHSAA Commissioner L. V. Phillips received the Hall of Fame’s Silver Medal in recognition for his contributions to the sport. Cliff Wells, another famous name in - Hoosier--hardwood annals, resigned at Tulane to become executive secretary-direc-tor of the Naismith Memorial National Basketball Hall of Fame. Wells coached for nearly half a century and twice his teams won the IHSAA crown—at Bloomington in 1919 and at Dagahiport in 1934. Former Purdue All - America Terry Dischinger of Terre Haute won "rookie of the year” honors in the National Basketball Assn* In fdftball, Purdue recaptured the- <r“Old Oaken Bucket’’ irony Indiana: Purdue’s Ron Difinished his collegiate caofeer as the Big Ten’s top passer and total offense leader for 1963 and Indiana’s Tom Nowatzke v won the conference rushing crown-—despite the fact the Hoosiers wound up in the cellar with a 1-5 league record. Parseghian for Devore Notre Dame still was down with a 2-7 season, but star end Jim Kelly made the UPI AllAmerica. Joe Kuharich resigned as head coach of the Irish in March and Hugh Devore took over as “interim” coach. Came December and Notre Dame signed Northwestern’s Ara Parseghian in a move to restore the South Benders to college gridiron respectability. , Paul' Hornung, a former Notre Dame All-America, was suspended by the National Football League in the betting scandal. On the high school level, Elkhart swept through a 10-game schedule untouched to gain the mythical state title with a team built around junior quarterback Mike Fr anger, the only, underclassman to make UPFs —first All-State unit. « Indiana’s first prep football death since 1961 claimed Roddle Morton, a 16-year-old end from Warsaw who died of head injuries suffered in practice. Pete Rucinski’s brilliant 26year career ended at East Chicago Roosevelt with the grid coach of the Rough Riders being “kicked upstairs” as athletic director for the city’s public school system. Rucinski’s East Chicago teams claimed the mythical state crown six times. Ed Knych of Fort Harrison emerged as Indiana’s golfer of the year, winning the State Open and the State PGA. Other major winners were Don Wood, Carmel, Indiana Junior: Jack Leer, Indianapolis dentist, Indi- . ana Amateur, .and Julie Hull of Anderson won--, the Indiana Women’s, crown for the third; time. Indians Sweep Honors Dow Finsterwald won the $55,000 "500” Festival Open. Albert Kees, a 61-year-old ma-

chinist from Richmond, won the 64th annual Grand American Handicap, trapshooting’s top classic. And two more Hoosiers tied for the wbmen’s crown—lß- - Sharon Kingen of McCordsville and Elizabeth Dickey of Anderson. Sam Rice, a hative of Morocco, Ind., was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame. He was a star outfielder for the Washington Senators from 1916 to 1933 and had a lifetime batting ’-average of .322. $4 _ ■

"Die Indianapolis Indians monopolized the International League in their first and only year in that circuit. They won the Southern Division qtle in a play-off from Atlanta, took the yennant—their third in ps many" years —then beat Atlanta for the Governor’s Cup under Rollie Hemsley. The Indians were promptly voted out of the league in a dispute over travel expenses and just before the end of the 1 year accepted a bid to join the Pa-
cific Coast League, 1 12-team outfit which in 1964 will stretch about' 4,500 miles to Honolulu. Hemsley was eased out of his job by the parent Chicago White Sox; who named former, major league catcher Les Moss to run the Indians in 1964. The Indianapolis Warriors withdrew from the United Football League in February because of two-year financial losses totaling more than $40,000, but club officials had a change of heart and returned to the
fold. Pamelli’a Year In. B somewhat stormy and losing season—both at the gate_ and in the standings—the War- “ riors went through three coaches and at year's end their fu. ture was again in doubt, Parnelli Jones rode to a hairraising and record • shattering victory in the Indianapolis "500” and controversial A. J. Foyt, a former “500’’ winner, won USAC’s national driving crowp for the third time.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 2, 1964
• USAC shelled out' nearly f 1.5 million in purses and Jones and His crew collected nearly $150,000 for their Memorial Day triumph from a jackpot of nearly $500,000. All were records. • The “500” also signaled the advent of * successful rear-en-gine cars at the Speedway. Scotland's Jimmy Clark, 1963 World Grand Prix champion, finished second to Jones ih a Lotus-Ford and for a time, the two small Britixh cars driven by Clark and Dan Gurney were running 1-2. Gurney placed seventh.
