According to officials of the Keikhaffer Co., of Fond du Lac, Wise, the annual affair was run this year in the roughest water it has ever beeiVheld. Keikhaffer~is a Mercury--wotor-manufacurer and was quite elated over the triumph of the Decatur boat which was powered by a pair of 100-horsepower Mercury motors. Various class races, determined by size and motors of the boats, were run, with the Duo entry coping its division. The Deep Vee was then entered in the grand championship and came away with the top prize. 103 Entered A total of 103 boats were entered in the grand championship, " and only 55 finished, with many boats being forced out of the race due to breaking hulls, lost (factors, etc .

Big Ten Teams Launch League Play Saturday CHICAGO (UPI) — Big Ten basketball teams, winners against non-conference competition at a .584 pace, head into their own cut-throat scrap for the league title Saturday with every team in action. ‘ Michigan, the standout favorite to win the crown for the first time since 1948, boasted the best record against nonleague foes, losing only one of 10 games, and opens the campaign at home against Northwestern, which had the worst record in pre-season play, 2-5. Both teams boast a sophomore star from Chicago. Michigan’s rookie Cazzie Russell has been a standout in the Wolverines’ string of victories, while Northwestern’s rookie coach Larry Glass was hoping for Jim Pitts to balance rebounding and scoring to make his Wildcat* a threat. Minnesota, another surprise in pre-season play with two sophomore flashes, will tangle with Purdue in the afternoon television game, and the Boiler* makers, also with a sophomore star, could decide whether the Gophers deserve a darkhorse rating. Minnesota won seven of 10 pre-season games, including a runner - up finish in Madison Square Garden’s holiday festival, and rookies Lou Hudson and Don Yates were sparkplugs for the club. But Purdue, with a 3-5 record, boasts sophomofe Dave Schellhase as its leading scorer with a 20 point average and a 7 foot rookie George Grams who rates as a rebounding threat ■ «’ Illinois, /eo - champion with Ohio State last year, and Michigan State, a second division finisher a year ago, both wound up with 6-3 records in pre-sea-son play and meet each other in the mini’s new assembly hall with the winner become a title threat. Wisconsin, winner of the Milwaukee Holiday Tournament to bring its pre-season mark to 5-4, opens at home against Ohio State, off to its worst start since the enrollment of Jerry Lueas with a 5 - 5 mark, and the Badgers, though underdogs, were rated capable of an upset. lowa, with a 5-3 mark, travels to Indiana, which has a 4-5 record, to close out the league slate. < Big Ten teams in pre-season competition won 52 games and lost 39 against non-conference opponents.

Patriots And Chargers Meet For AFL Crown SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI)— The American Football League title game Sunday matches the league’s strongest defensive eleven, the Boston Patriots, against the top offensive team, the San Diego Chargers. '■ The previous meetings this season have been defensive affairs with the Chargers winning both, 17-13 and 7-6. Boston ’ Coach Mike Holovak hopes the ’ return of speedster Ron Burton , to the offensive backfield will ’ be enough to turri the tables. Boston’s inability to score was the big difference in the ’ two previous games. The Patriots controlled the ball in both > encounters and were beaten on > explosive long pass plays. While , Burton, who underwent a i touchy back operation in Sepk tember, is not ’the threat he » once was, Holovak expects his , speed to spread out the Charger j defense enough to give fullback Larry Garron more running room. Burton also is a pass ) threat both short and long. i ! San Diego Coach Sid Gellman . also expeete more from his of- > sense. Halfback Paul Lowe, who s finished second in the league in ! rushing, was held to six yards > in 12 carries in the two games. r Lowe said he has studied films and knows what he was doing > wrong. He said he might gain . close to 200 yards this week. Fullback Keith Lincoln is j back in form after suffering a . concussion in the Chargers loss ! to Oakland last month. I “Keith is running like he’s - never run in his life,” Gillman • said. “The rest he had when we ' played Houston did him a lot Os ■ good.” : BOWLING » ■■■•■ . ' ; K. of C.

Furman Scores Upset Win Al West Virginia By United Press International This one is dedicated strictly to the basketball “experts,*’ those so-called hardwood wizards who can tell you the difference between one team and another right down to a fraction of a point. They rated West Virginia a 12-point favorite over Furman. It figured, too, in many ways. West Virginia wsis playing on its home court. Furman hadn’t ever won a game there. To make it even more of a “lock,’’ Furman’s Paladins ran ihto bad weather, plane cancellations and whatnot in traveling from Greenville, S.C., to Morgantown, W.Va. The trip, which should have taken little more than an hour, took 17 hours—almost an entire day—and the game started almost an hour late. The Mountaineers should have been easy winners, right? Wrong! Furman walloped West Virginia, 65-57, spurting to an early lead and going as much as 19 points ahead at dne point. “They just outhustled us, outshot us and outrebounded us,” said West Virginia Coach George King. v ' The Mountaineers tried to . match Furman’s deliberate style but couldn’t, nor could they contain Don Frye, who paced the Paladins with 20 points. There wasn’t too much action around the nation Thursday night but in some of the more significant games, Bradley connected feOn 60 per cent of its shots to knock over North Tex,as State, 100-78, for its first Missouri Valley Conference victory; fast-breaking Brigham Young defeated Montana, 89-65; Loyola of New Orleans beat Rhode Island, 84-70, as Marty Meihaus and Ken Rayn each scored 26 points for the winners, and Pittsburgh shellacked Dartmouth, 167-63. In other games, New Hamshire edged MIT 74-73, Richmond defeated Florida State, 69-65; Houston downed the Air Force, 64-63, and Virginia Tech nipped Virginia, 62-60.

Launch Inquiry Info Death Os Tony Parrilli CHICAGO (UPI) — Three inquiries into the New Year’s Eve shooting of football star Tony Parrilli appeared certain today to center on why Police Chief Robert Winthers pulled his gun from his holster. Parrilli, 24, was shot fatally in a suburban Willowbrook bowling alley partially owned, by Chicago Bears end Mike Ditka in a tragic windup to a gay $25 per couple holiday celebration. The gun was discharged, police said, when Winthers struck Bears fullback Joe Marconi on the head with the weapon. The bullet hit Parrilli near the left eye and he died almost immediately. A key participant in the men’s room scuffle, Raymond Messmaker, turned himself in to Du Page County state’s attorney William J. Bauer Thursday and was released without charge after interrogation. He told Bauer and sheriffs police that Parrilli had begun hitting him without warning while they were in the men’s room, but admitted that he “had too much to drink.” Bauer said his story was “relatively vague.” ' Messmaker said he was “sick” when Parrilli complained about the condition of the men’s room, “slammed me up against the wall and started belting me. -I turned my back trying to avoid the blows and didn’t throw a punch at all. “Then I heard somebody come into * the washroom and I heard a noise which I now know was a shot, but it didn't sound like a shot. I saw Parrilli on the floor with somebody bending over him, and I got scared and left. I walked into the hall and found my wife and we left.” Marconi said that he was “only in there about 30 seconds” before he was hit on the head and knocked unconscious. Winthers charged that Marconi came into the room with “his arms flailing,” but Marconi said he didn’t have time to attack anybody.” “I don't know why I was hit or who hit me,” he said. “I didn’t see any gun. I couldn’t even identify -anybody in the room.” Bauer said he did not anticipate any charges against Messmaker, who suffered two loose front teeth, a cut lip and two banged up eyes. He had been sougnt by police for more than 24 hours before he telephoned Bauer.

Los Angeles Open Is Opened Today LOS ANGELES (UPI) — The gblfing nomads, led by king arnold Palmer and National Open champion Julius Boros, open the 1964 big money campaign today when they tee off in the $50,000 Los Angeles Open tournament. But if Palmer’s game doesn't improve, he won’t be among the men at the pay window when the winners are announced. The defending champion played like a 10-handicapper Thursday in the Pro-Am and came in with a sad 79. “I was doing everything wrong,” he said. “Off the tee, on?-the fairways, and on the greehfe. I had a four-putter on the fourth. And do you know I had that 79 with three birdies.” H was Arnie’s first competitive swing at a golf ball in more than six weeks — and he admitted he was a bit rusty before play started. Bob Rosburg and Doug Sanders fired five-under-par 66s Thursday to win the pro division of the pro-arpateur prelude. Even if he plays well this year, Palmer may have trouble ever again hitting the SIOO,OOO - mark, as he did in 1963, for one year of official earnings. Under a new PGA formula on the purse split,. which goes into effect this week, top money will be less in all tournaments. This tourney was supposed to pay $9,000 to the winner (as it did last year). But this year the champion will receive a check for only $7,500. - Among Jthe players here hoping to get off to a hot start are Dow Finsterwald, Mason Rudolph, Don January, Bobby Nichols, Al Geiberger, Bill Casper and Gene Littler, all among the top 12 money winners of 1963.
