Muncie Shocked By Suspension From IHSAA MUNCIE, Ind. (UPD—Muncie Central officials reacted with shock and disappointment today to the Indiana nigh School Athletic Association’s suspension of the school from further sports participation this year. But Muncie Principal John Huffman, who gravely announced the decision to the student body within minutes after it was made public early Wednesday afternoon, said “we’ll show the state that Muncie Central can take defeat bravely.” Huffman said he and other school administrators “frankly expected a warning or probation but not suspension” for the action of players and fans on Dec. 28 at a holiday tournament at Frankfort. The IHSAA Board of Control, in penalizing the school and thus depriving it of the right to defend its 1963 state basketball tourney title, termed unsportsmanlike the conduct of players and fans at Frankfort where the Bearcats lost to Anderson, 76-69. But. Commissioner Phil N. Eskew, in announcing the decision, blamed as a contributing factor in the stiff penalty “laxity and irregularities in the administration of the interscholastic athletic program by Muncie school officials.” Eskew said previously he was growing tired of reports of improprieties from Muncie. Thus, the prep hardwood crown to be awarded the night of March 21 will pass to another of the nearly 600 teams scheduled to enter the starting field late next month. Muncie had s ' won it five times starting in 1928 and including two consecutive titles in 1951 and 1952. The action was the most severe punishment given to any school by the IHSAA in 13 years, since little Glenn in Vigo County fell afoul of the regulations in 1951 and surrendered the Wabash Valley baksetball title it had won shortly before. Muncie, rated the top team by UPI coaches in an earlyseason poll, won its first six starts this season and increased its string of conecutive victories over two seasons to 23 games before falling to strong Elkhart on Dec. 21. Then, after the Frankfort tourney loss to Anderson, the Bearcats dropped three in a row and finally fell out of the UPI “top 10.” Part of the decline in prestige was due to the suspension Jan. 7 by Muncie officials of Andie Higgins and Billy Ray, who between them scored 15 points in the 1963 title game against South Bend Central and were stars on this year’s squad of Coach Ike Tailman. The Bearcats were forced to cancel the last nine games on their schedule, including Anderson Jan. 17, South Bend Central Jan. 18, Muncie South Jan. 24, North Central Jan. 25, New Castle Jan. 31, East Chicago WagQngton Feb. 1, Kokomo fUt '7, Frankfort Feb. 14 and Marion Feb. 21. They will not be permitted to play in the basketball tourney sectional in their own fieldhouse. Muncie’s gym was one of 64 centers selected for the sectionals, but little Yorktown, a county school, will be the sponsor of the tourey. In addition, Muncie cannot participate in spring or fall sports this.., year, including baseball, track, golf, tennis, foot ball, cross-country and wresling. It was a bitter blow to the battling. Bearcats, perennial contenders for the basketball championship and winner more often than any other school. But the IHSAA board obviously meant for other state schools with a penchant for fan rowdiness and player disciplinary infractions to absorb a lesson from the severity of the penalty. — .“The board respectfully requests that all fans review their Responsibility to the total sports program,”; the board said.

Bradley Snaps Cincinnati's Home Streak By MARTIN LADER UPI Sports Writer Time ' is finally catching up with the University of Cincinnati. The Bearcats have been the most successful college basketball team in the last six years, winning a total of 161 games against 16 losses. And although they don't show any signs of old age, they’re definitely not what they used to be. Cincinnati lost another link from its great past Wednesday night by dropping an 87-77 decision to Bradley. While losing one game isn’t cause for alarm, it did mark the Bearcats’ first loss ever to a Missouri Valley Conference foe on their home court. Cincinnati had compiled 41 straight successes against league opponents at home dating back to 1947. Another streak was barely kept alive Wednesday night when •“ fifth-ranked Davidson squeezed out a 52-49 victory at Richmond. The unbeaten Wildcats employed a surprise freeze when they led by only one point with 12 minutes to play and they just managed to salvage their 14th triumph. Cincinnati, ranked eighth in the country, was the victim of two red hot Braves from Bradley. Lavern Tait helped Bradley to a 46-45 intermission lead by scoring 22 points in the first half and Joe Strawder picked up for his teammate with 25 points in the second half. Strawder, who hit on 10 of 13 floor shots during his streak, took ’ game scoring honors with 33 points. Ron Bonham led the Bearcats with 25 points. Davidson didn't anticipate much trouble with Richmond, which went into the game with a 5-7 record. But the Spiders, hitting on more than half of their field goal attempts, enjoyed a 32-29 advantage at halftime. .. When Davidson moved ahead at 45-33 with less than 12 minutes ..remaining, it put the ball in ft.dpep freeze, breaking out of it, only when Fred Hetzel was set up for a good shot. The strategy worked as Hetzel led all scorers with 20 points. John Telepo was high for" Richmond with 13 points. In other top games, Xavier of Cincinnati , nipped Louisville, 80-79. West Virginia turned back Penn State. 84-63; North Carolina scored a 79-71 victory over North Carolina State: Har-din-Sijnmons beat Oklahoma City, 87.-74; and St. oseph's up ended Seton Hall, 83-76.

Mays And Cepeda Signed By Giants By United Press International The San Francisco Giants have satisfied two very important people — Willie Mays and Orlando Cepeda. Mays, the highest paid active player in baseball, signed for an estimated $105,000 Wednesday. A few hours later, the Giants also received a signed contract from Cepeda, who is in the $50,000 bracket. Mays regards his contract signing as a necessary chore and seldom balks, but Cepeda is a lot different and Giant officials were pleased with his early signature. Last season, Cepeda held out until March 2 but had his best season since 1959. He led the team with a .316 batting average, hit 34 home runs and had 97 RBIs. His slugging percentage of .563 was fourth in the National League. Hie cpntrat was the seventh Cedpeda has signed with the Giants. For Mays it was his 14th. The St. Louis Cardinals announced the signings of veteran pitchers Roger Craig and Lou Burdette. Craig, the hard-luck pitcher of the New York Mets the past two seasons, came to St. Louis for George Altman last fall. He was 5-22 last season and had a 15-46 record over a two-year period for New York. Burdette, who joined the Cardinals last season after be ing traded by the Braves, had a 9-13 record for the two clubs. The Chicago Cubs also had two signees in outfielder Ellis Burton and pitcher Paul Toth. Burton hit .231 in 93 games with 12 home runs and 41 RBl’s. Toth had a 5-9 record and a 3.09 earned run average in 27 tippearances. The Minnesota Twins received signed contracts from pitchers Dwight Sibler and Fred Lasher. Sibler, obtained from Philadelphia last season, had a 2-1 record and a 2.77 ERA for Minnesota. Lasher was 3-5 with Charlotte of the Sally League. Noted Jazz Musician Found Dead In Room NEW ORLEANS (UPD—Jack Teagarden, whose wailing trombone and moaning voles spelled the blues to jazz fans for more than 30 years, was found dead in his motel room in New Orleans Wednesday. His doctor said he died of cirrhosis of the liver. But a coroner’s investigator said it appeared to be a heart attack. An autopsy was scheduled today. Teagarden’s body was found sprawled on the floor of his room. Clad only in his underwear, a bottle of beer was trapped beneath his body and an opener was clasped in one hand. He had apparently been dead several hours, possibly since Tuesday. He was last seen about 730 p.m. Tuesday when a bellhop brought a supply of beer to his room. Teagarden was in New Orleans to play an engagement at the Dream Room, a French Quarter night club. “Jack has been sick quite a long time and ’didn’t want anyone to know about it,” his doctor said. “He was a very stubborn guy and wanted to play his music.” Teagarden was born Jack Weldon Leo Teagarden, Aug. 20, 1905, in Vernon,« Tex. While very young, his parents moved to Oklahoma. Teagarden went to New York in the 19205, and in 1928 joined Benny Pollack’s orchestra, an aggregation that spawned such big-name jazz and swing men as Bennie Goodman and Harry James. Teagarden was with Pollack as trombonist and vocalist until 1933, when he joined Paul Whiteman’s orchestra. While with Pollack, he cut his first record. , . Although highly successful with both Pollack and Whiteman, Teagarden as head of his own bands was anything but a winner. He drifted until 1946, when he teamed with trumpet great Louis Armstrong. From 1946 until 1952, he and Armstrong toured and cut records under the name ‘Arm-strong-Teagarden Ajl - Stars, with moderate success. It was in the 1950 s that Tea- . garden regained his fame as one of the top jazz trombonists in the country. His records sold millions of copies, and the best of them all werp “Basin Street Blues,” “Shiek of Araby,” “Aunt Haggar’s Blues” and "Beale Street Blues.”

Finley Faces Likely Rebuff On Moving A's : NEW YORK (UPD — Kansas City owner Charles O. Finley r gets the word today and it’ll be a a loud “no!" — with one pro- F vision: He can come back and I try again next year. 2 Without mincing any words, I F i n 1 e y’s fellow American League owners will tell him t point-blank he can not possibly s transfer the Athletics to Louisville, Ky., now and he somehow j must work out his current park j problems with Kansas City's j municipal officials. ( Finley will get the message ( twice. He’ll hear it the first s time at a meeting of the American League’s board of direc- ■ tors, which will start at 10:30 ( a.m. (EST), and concern itself . with details of his negotiations with Kansas City’s city council. The second meeting, in which each of the 10 AL clubs will * cast a vote on Finley’s project- * ed move, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m., but that first one could run over especially if Charley gets to talking, so the grand finale may not start until 2 or later. Sure Os Result Even btefore they went in for the first session, most AL officials felt the issue on whether or not Finley would be allowed to move tiie A’s might not even reach the point of a vote. But if a vote is taken, all were sure of the result. “There isn’t a chance his request for a transfer will be granted,” said one AL owner. “If it does come down to a vote Finley will receive one — his own.” Rather than let it come to a vote, AL officials are hoping they can persuade both Finley and Kansas City municipal of ficials, who also will be present, to work out some kind of agreement so that the Athletics can return to Municipal Stadium. “The American League may solve its problems with Finley, pointed out one Kansas City source, “but a hew one-year contract — and that’s what it looks like it will be—won’t solve ours. — j r “We’d like to keep the Athletics in Kansas City and now it looks like we’ll have to go through this entire ordeal all over again next year.” Finley has dropped broad hints that there would be dire repercussions if he did not gain approval for his move to Louisville today although he has heatedly denied he intends going into court over the matter. “We don’t want to go into court,” said an AL owner, “but if we must we will.” Finley, it is believed, has no intention of going into court, either, but he might have done so if the American League had tried to take his franchise away from him. Dixie White Named Athletic Director MONROE, La. (UPD —Dixie B. White Wednesday was named athletic director and head foot- . ball coach at Northeast Louisiana State College. White, formally an assistant coach at Louisiana State University, succeeds Jack C. Rowan, who will remain at the college as an assistant professor. Two Men Are Killed As Plane Crashes COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPD-A veteran pilot and his passenger were killed Wednesday night when their single-engine plane hit a tree and crashed as they practiced instrument landings at Port Columbus. Killed were David Manson, 27, the pilot, and Martin Behnke, 24, both of Columbus. Manson formerly lived at Terre .Haute, Ind. Manson, who had more than 3,000 hours of flying time and was a former flight instructor, was chief pilot for Claycraft Corp. here. Behnke, who also held a pilot’s license, came here from his home in Chicago to take flying lessons. He was employed in the office of Columbia Fuel Gas Co.’s aviation section. The four-passenger Cessna-172 narrowly missed a home near the airport, on the city’s east side, and then hit a tree. The two mep were pinned in the wreckage. There was no fire or explosion. The Ohio Highway Patrol said the aircraft apparently came in too low on its approach and the wing tip smacked into the tree, flipping the plane over. It landed upside down.

Four Golfers Co-Favorifes In Bing's Meet PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (UPD — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Art Wall and Paul Harney ruled as co-favorites today as a colorful field of nearly 350 golf pros and celebrities teed off in the opening round of the $60,000 Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur championship. Nicklaus, the PGA and Masters’ champion of 1963, was making his first start of the new year while Palmer, bothered by a slight cold, is out to defend his title as golfs leading money-winner. The taciturn Wall and longhitting Harney were the two jackpot winners on the first stops on the winter tour—Har ney in the Los Angeles Open and Wall, back on his stick again, at San Diego. The Crosby is played over three of the most beautiful golf courses in the country — awesome Pebble Beach, tree-stud-ded Cypress Point and the easier Monterey Peninsula Country Club layout. The pros are competing for $6,400 first money in an individual 72-hole medal test and are aiming at another $4,000 top prize if they and their amateur partner come through in the Pro-Am. The Crosby, sponsored by golf ““ buff Bing himself, over the years has come up with about every type of weather imaginable — snow, sleet, hail, rain and wind. But this year, at least for opening day, the forecast is for sunshine. All three courses are in perfect shape — particularly Pebble Beach, a 6,747-yard monster which bends and twists along the cliffs and beaches near Carmel Bay. For galleryites who would rather see celpbrities than golf pros swing, they can watch pro football stars Jimmy Brown or » Del Shofner, Dodger pitcher Don Drysdale, Tennessee Ernie Ford, comedians Bob Newhart or Phil Harris or Donald O”connor, television’s James Garner, baseball managers Alvin Dark or Bill Rigney, movie star Fred Mac Murray, dancer comic Ray Bolger, baseball outfielder Albie Pearson, or singers Howard Keel, John Raitt or Dennis Morgan. AMed by liberal handicaps assigned them by host Crosby, > they’ll be out to help the pros i in the pro-amateur teams. ,~ ~ 1 ’Shedd Aquarium. t famous In Chicago • . . d landmark known to Chicage visitors... equally renowned in the heart of the loop is the 44 story high CAROUSIL-IN-THMKY " (50 mile view of the city) • No cover • No minimum o No entertainment tax « luncheons from $2 gpg, dinners from $3.50 • • • 1800 newly vWlil decorated rooms 5.
