Peters Signs New Contract With Chisox By United Press International Gary Peters walked in, presented his case to Chicago White Sox General Manager Ed Short and left a short time later with just what he expected—a much improved 1964 contract. Actually, the matter was settled last September when Peters finished the season with a 19-8 record. He then won the American League rookie of the year award. Peters’ signing Monday was the first among the White Sox players. In aedition to his fine record, Peters had a 2.33 earned run revenge and won 11 consecutive games at one point during the season. That streak tied a White Sox record set by Johnny Rigney. The White Sox also announced that coaches Don Gutteridge and Ray Berres had signed for 1964 along with trainer Ed Froehlich. The Minnesota Twins came up with a big signing when third baseman Richie Rollins announced he was “very satisfied” with his 1964 contract. Rollins made a dramatic comeback last season after suffering a broken jaw in spring training. He hit .307 and hit 16 home runs. He also had 61 runs batted in. Minnesota also signed first baseman Jeff Talbot, a draftee from the Baltomire Orioles system. He hit .380 for Bluefield last season in the Class A Appalachian League. The Milwaukee Braves signed veteran catcher Ed Bailey, acquired in a seven-player trade with San Francisco, Dec. 3, and catcher-first baseman Gene Oliver. Bailey, who batted .263 with 21 home runs and 68 RBIs in 105 games last season, came to the Braves along with outfielder Felipe Alou, pitcher Billy Hoeft and infielder Ernie Bowman for Milwaukee pitchers Bob Shaw and Bob Hendley and catcher Del Crandall. Oliver, who came to the Braves from St. Louis in the Lew Burdette trade last season, hit .250 in 95 games for Milwaukee. The two signings gave the Braves a total of eight thus far. The San Francisco Giants signed a pair of highly regarded bonus/- pitchers —Bob Garibaldi and Al Staneik. Garibaldi, originally signed with the Giants for between $125,000 and $150,000 during the 1962 season.

New Substitution Rule Is Simplified FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — The NCAA Football Rules Committee Monday simplified its new' substitution rule that may turn coaches and fans into clock watchers. Under the new rule, if the clock is running a coach can substitute only two players before the ball is put into play. If the clock is stopped he can substitute freely. The rule promises to end bookkeeping and confusion that dominated substitutions in previous years. The redrafting of the rule by the 15-member rules committee eliminated the one exception that was written into the rules on Sunday. That exception banned unlimited substitutions during an excess time, which meant a time called out by an official to remove an injured player after a team had exhausted the four time-outs it is permitted each half. The committee had hoped to outwit a rash of phony injuries when it wrote this exception. The committee members and coaches alike were fast in pointing out the new rule doesn’t mean a full return to unlimited substitutions and that teams will have wto include players trained on both offense and • defense. Before-shutting down its three day session the commission also adopted a rule terming any action of a passer in throwing the ball to the ground at his feet in order to stop the clock is an illegal pass. The penalty is a five yard setback and loss of the down. Bob Bolinger Leads Polio Sweepstakes Bob Bolinger of Decatur leads in the men’s division of the Pol io Sweepstakes competition, with a 704 serie,? rolled in the Minor league at Villa Lanes. Paul Kohne, with a 697 in the K. of C. league at Villa, is run-ner-up, while Palmer Heare’s 663 at Emkk’s Bowl in Berne is good for third spot. AU scores include a 70 per cent handicap based on a 200 average. The Polio Sweepstakes will run the entire month of January, and a bowler may enter the competition each time he (or she) bowls in league play. Cash prizes will be awarded to several bowlers, and the Sweepstakes winner will receive a trophy from the First State Bank. Two-thirds of all entry fees in the competition is turned over to the March of Dimes.

Congressmen Welch Finley Baseball Case By R. L. MCGHEE and M. A. KILGORE United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) — Organized baseball may get more than it bargained for when the American League meets in New York Thursday to consider Charles O. Finley’s proposal to move his Kansas City Athletics to Louisville, Ky. In addition to baseball men, a good sized coterie of national lawmakers may be on hand to watch, and possibly participate, in the deliberations. Finley signed a contract last week to move the Athletics to Louisville when he was -unable to come to terms with Kansas City officials on a new lease. Several American League owners have voiced their disapproval of Finley’s action, and Finley has threatened to cause trouble if the other owners block his move to Louisville. Sen. Stuart Symington, DMo., and Sen. James B. Pearson, R-Kan., plan to be present to back Kansas City’s efforts to retain the team. Sens. Thruston B. Morton and John Sherman Cooper, Kentucky Republicans, are expected to back the proposal to move the team to Louisville. Besides the senators, assorted House members from both states may attend the league meeting. Brings Out Jitters

BasebaU men get jittery when government officials take too close an interest in their affairs. They have a great deal at stake — such as whether the game is a sport or a business. It’s the doubt created by? that question that will keep Missouri’s junior senator, Democrat Edward V. Long, away from the meeting. Long site on the Senate anti-trust subcommittee which might be asked some day to considet bringing baseball under the Sherman and Clayton Acts. In fact, there is a bill pending in the subcommittee now that baseball men want passed. It would treat the big four of professional sports — baseball, hockey, football and basketball —equally as sports. It would exempt them from the antitrust laws in four categories: —Equalization of competition (the player —Employment, selection of eligibility of players or the reservation, selection or assignment of player contracts (the heart of the qld reserve-clause controversy in baseball). —The right to make * agreements for exclusive operation within specific geographic areas (exclusive franchises). —Preservation of public confidence in sports ‘contests (the right to discipline players for gambling, rules infractions, misconduct, etc.). Currently, baseball operates joyously under various Supreme Court rulings which say it is a sport. But football does not. The bill would treat all the games equally as far as the sporting phases of their operations go. But legislation could be made that operation of all the sports is business. In fact, Pearson said, perhaps only half facetiously : “We may go up there with anti-trust bills sticking out of our pockets, with- just the title showing.”/ But these considerations, apparently don’t concern either Kansas City Mayor Ilus Davis, Kentucky Qpv. Edward T. (Ned) Breathitt, or Louisville Mayor, William O. Cowger. All enlisted the aid of their congressional representatives.

Muncie Central Case Studied By IHSAA INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The 5-member IHSAA Board of Control meets today and Wednesday to study evidence and consider what action, if any, to take against Muncie Central High School in connection with several incidents during a holiday basketball tourney last month. The evidence was gathered in investigations into incidents during the Frankfort holiday tourney. The board is headed by Lester D. Davis, Warsaw. IHSAA Commissioner Phil N. Eskew and Herman F. Keller, the assistant commissioner, will also be at the closed meeting. “All the evidence will be placed before th4 board,” Esquoted as saying the IHSAA could get along without Muncie if its students could not act “like ladies and gentlemen." Muncie, Anderson, Frankfort and Marion participated in the tourney. All four schools have submitted reports to the IHSAA along . with reports from the two» * who worked the Muncie-AnHerson title game— Jimmy Dimitroff and Wendell Baker, both of Indianapolis. Several school officials from Muncie, among them Principal John Huffman, will appear bethe board, Eskew said. Principals from the three other schools were also scheduled to attend, but neither the players nor the two officials were invited to appear. Anderson beat Muncie for the tourney title, 76-69. Since then two key Muncie players, Andie Higgins and Billy Ray, have been suspended for disciplinary reasons, which Muncie officials said had nothing to do with the Frankfort incidents. It was reported that the incidents included one player being hit in the face with the ball and several ruckus-type flare- ; ups. Eskew refused to commit himself on what type of action would be taken. He said board members had not seen the reports, but ipdicated he felt certain a decision would be reached this week unless the board decided to make further inquiry into the case.

UCLA Builds Up lop Spot In Colleges NEW YORK (UPI) — Loyola of Chicago, Michigan and Vanderbilt advanced today in the weekly United Press International major college basketball ratings but top-ranked UCLA built up a wide first-place margin. Unbeaten UCLA bumped neighboring Southern California twice during the weekend to justify its No. 1 ranking obtained last week, and increased its lead to 80 points. The Bruins received 31 first-place ballots from the 35 coaches on the UPI rating board. Ratings are based on games played through Saturday, Jan. 11. Loyola of Chicago, the earlyseason leader, romped to its fifth consecutive victory and replaced Kentucky in the runnerup spot. Michigan also passed the Wildcats to reclaim third place. The Wolverines’ only setback in 12 tests was to UCLA. Kentucky, beaten by Vanderbilt last week before rebounding to rout LSU and Tulane with 100-plus totals, slipped to fourth. Vanderbilt moved back into sixth-place follqwing its win over Kentucky and a 90-56 pummelihg of defehtfing Southeastern Conference champion Mississippi State. Fifth-ranked Davidson survived a scare from lightly regarded Virginia to remain in the unbeaten class with UCLA and 13th-ranked DePaul. These are the only major colleges with perfect marks. Davidson has won 12 straight, UCLA 13 and Defaul 11. Oregon State dropped a notch to seventh and the remaining three top 10 members—Cincinnati (No. 8), Duke (No. 9) and Villanova (No. 10) — remained stationary.

Davidson Wins 13th Straight Monday Night By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer Davidson has too much going for it this season to be bothered by mere superstition. The Wildcats soared to unknown heights Monday night by routing The Citadel, 88-67, to break a school record with their 13th straight victory. That they accomplished it on the 13th day of the month added extra delight for the players. Fred Hetzel scored 31 points and grabbed 18 rebounds for unbeaten Davidson, which is ranked fifth among the nation’s college basketball teafhs. Dick Snyder aided Hetzel in the scoring column with 23 points. Hie victory broke Davidson’s old mark of 12 straight successes set last season. Another record was established at South Bend, Ind., but in a far unhappier cause. Larry Sheffield scored an all-time Notre Dame high of 47 points but the Irish still lost to Detroit, 114-104, in overtime. . Sheffield scored 43 points in regulation—the final two tying the score at 100-all and forcing the game into overtime—to equal the former Notre Dame record held jointly by Larry Aubrey and Tom Hawkins. In the end, though it was the better-balanced Detroit attack that paid off in victory. Six menhit in double figures for the Titans, led by Dick Dzik’s 26 points. It was the seventh victory against six defeats for Detroit while Notre Dame suffered its ninth setback. Sixth ranked Vanderbilt had •to stave off a late Mississippi rally to beat the Rebels, 88-81, and record its 13th triumph in 14 starts. Donnie Kessinger, a 6-foot-l guard, scored 34 points for Mississippi, which now has a 4-8 record. In other major games, Georgia Tech moved into a firstplace tie in the Southeastern Conference by beating Mississippi State, 59-45; Oklahoma' State trounced Kansas State, 77-58; and Wisconsin defeated lowa, 79-61. Elsewhere, Wichita beat St. Louis, 69-56; Colorado whipped Missouri, 90-77; Wake Forest defeated Virginia, 70-52; and Dayton walloped Portland, 82-60.
