More Cilies Seek Franchises In AFL SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPI) — Seven groups have applied for new American Football League (AFL) franchises, Joe Foss, league commissioner, told the league owners at the annual AFL meeting Thursday. He listed Newark, Montreal, Philadelphia and Cincinnati as four groups and said the Others preferred to remain anonymous. The expansion committee, headed by Lamar Hunt, owner of Kansas City Chiefs, will study the applications for consideration at the league’s summer meeting in Buffalo, N.Y. Calvin Kunz, owner of the Denver Broncos, said the league was not interested in expansion until all clubs were in the black. The same eight teams will be in the league next year, the owners said. A retirement plan for AFL players and plans for next year’s television schedule also were discussed by the owners. Three representatives of the newly formed players association meet with the owners today to discuss pension and medical plans. H. S. Basketball Allen Co. Tourney Arcola 60, Monroeville 52.

Finley Plans To Take Case Into Courts NEW YORK (UPD—Charles O. Finley’s next stop is the U.S. federal court and he thinks his chances are exceptionally good there *of finally beating the American League. With that specific aim in mind, the angry, aggressive owner of the Kansas City Athletics instructed his attorney to institute suit “as soon as possible” to determine * whether the American League has any legal right to keep him from moving his team. “Baseball is going way out on a limb,” said one prominent anti-trust attorney. “Finley has an excellent chance of prevailing if he goes to court.” The fiery Finley vowed he has absolutely no intention of backing down. “I’ll never back down,” he insisted. “I think they’re wrong. They think I’m wrong. Now we’ll go into court and see who is.” Finley, a rather likeable selfmade multi-millionaire who is accustomed to having his way, suffered two of the biggest reverses in his relatively brief baseball, career Thursday. Voted Down 9-1 His fellow AL owners first voted down his bid to move the Athletics to Louisville, Ky., 9 to 1 (Finley’s only vote was the one he cast for himself), and then threatened to expel him from the league if he doesn’t settle his Municipal Stadium lease with Kansas City officials by Feb. 1. A steady procession of witnesses were heard before AL officials, headed by league President Joe Cronin, made their decision. Sen. Stuart Symington (ElMo.) was among those who appeared before the American Leaguers and also was among those who hailed their ultimate decision. “I thought it a wise and constructive action and to the credit of baseball and sports in general,” Symington said. “I think it would have been unfair to take the team out of Kansas City.”,; Finley, who claims to have lost sl,o2B,ooo—“that’s in cash, too”" — during his three years of operation in Kansas City, looked at the American League’s decisions much differently. Not Frightened “The threat of expulsion doesn’t frighten me,” he said. “Actually, even though I’m going to court I’m still going to try and work out a one-year lease with Kansas City. Truthfully though, they’ve already turned down five- four- and two-year leases. “I don’t think the American League can force me to remain in any city unjustifiably. And I don’t feel baseball has the right to force me to stay in a city where I am continuously losing money.” Finley particularly angered Cronin and other American League officials 11 days ago when he arbitrarily signed a two-year contract with Louisville officials, promising to move the Athletics there without even bothering to get AL permission. He explained why he- took the action before 0 the league's board of directors during a four-hour session Thursday but they were unimpressed. Nor were they particularly upset when he notified them he intended to sue. “We had to take a stand somewhere,” said Zanville Krieger, treasurer of the Baltimore Orioles. “We can’t worry about him going to court, either. We did what had to be done.” Pro Basketball New York 124, Detroit 116. Cincinnati 108, Los Angeles 95.

Week's Schedule Os Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Commodores at Bryant. Yellow Jackets at Kendallville. Monmouth at Berne. Adams Central at Portland. Geneva at Pennville. Saturday Yellow Jackets at Elmhurst. Lancaster Central at Geneva. Michigan And Ohio State To Clash Saturday CHICAGO (UPD—Two of the Big Ten’s hottest scoring combinations will tangle in an early season “crucial” game Saturday when Michigan and Ohio State play with a share of first place at stake. The Wolverines, with an 11-1 season record, and Ohio State, 7-5 for the campaign, each boast 2-0 conference marks. The winner of the Saturday battle will take temporary hold of the league lead since the third 2-0 team, Illinois, is idle for examinations. The Buckeyes boast the league’s top scorer, Gary Bradds, who won the league scoring crown a year ago and who has a 29.5 average per game this year with 32 points against Wisco ns i n and 27 against Minnesota. Bradds also leads the league in field goal accuracy with a 69.4 percentage. For assistance in points, the Buckeyes’ Dick Rickets ranks ninth in the conference with a ' 20.5 mark. Against this pair Michigan will rely on its standout center, Bill Buntin, and one of the nation’s top ranked sophomores, Cazzie Russell. Buntin ranks seventh in scoring with a 22.5 point per game mark and Russell is tied for 10 with a 200 mark, giving the two Wolverines 42.5 compared to 50 for the Ohio State pair. Michigan, favored to win the conference crown for the first time since 1948, was a slight choice to top the Buckeyes. Two other conference games were on the Big Ten program, lowa at Purdue and Northwestern at Minnesota. Michigan State entertains Notre Dame in a non-league clash. All three Big Ten games will be in the afternoon. The Northwestern - Minnesota match, on regional TV, will be for third place in the league since both teams boast a 2-1 mark. Minnesota has an overall 9-4 record and Northwestern 4-6. _ Top scorers of the league also will be involved in this meeting. Minnesota's pacemaker has been sophomore Lou Hudson, hitting 26 points per game for third place, while Northwestern’S Rick Lopossa ranks fourth with 25.7 and Rich Falk eighth with 20.7. Purdue will be seeking its first league win after two defeats with sophomore Dave Schellhase, at 24.5 the league’s ’ fifth best scorer, expected to be the spark. lowa has a 1-2 conference record.

Muncie Plans Intramural Sport Program MUNCIE, Ind. (UPD—An intramural sports program will replace* the interscholastic competition which Muncie Central High School was forced to drop when it was suspended from the Indiana High School Athletic Association until Jan. 1, 1965. The IHSAA suspended Central, the 1963 state basketball champion, Wednesday and ended its hopes for a sixth state title this year. But basketball coach Dwight (Ike) Tailman moved immediately to avoid a letup in the school’s athletic program. The suspension not only affects the basketball team. Muncie must drop its football, swimming, golf, track, crosscountry and wrestling competition for the remainder of this school, year and the first four months of the next year. # Tailman said his baksetball players were “naturally downhearted” but insisted on keep-’ ing in practice not only for love of the sport but to stay in shape for possible future competition in college. The 24-man varsity squad—s seniors! - 5 juniors and 14 sophomores —will be divided into four teams, Tailman said. Intramural games will be played each Wednesday and Friday for the remainder of the season with practice sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. A round-robin tournament is planned with the team having the best season record declared the intramural champion. While the IHSAA action affected only Muncie Central, and not Muncie Burris and Muncie South High Schools, it also posed problems for three junior high schools feeding young players into the Central system. McKinley and Kuhner Junior High Schools are wholly within the Central school boundaries while Storer Junior High is partly “in the district. Thus freshman athletes at the first two schools and some of those at Storer are affected as well as the upperclassmen at Central. Storer freshmen who live outside the Central district were not affected nor were 7th and Bth graders at any of the schools. Muncie* officials were reported to have determined that, during the suspension period, nothing would be done to cast any doubt upon the school s willingness to abide by the IHSAA ruling. That way, the school will have a clean bill \of health when it applies next winter for reinstatement in the IHSAA on a one-year probationary basis.

Balding Leads First Round In Crosby's Meet PE EBB L E BEACH, Calif. (UPI) — The $60,000 Bing Crosby National Pro-Amateur golf classic boasted a distinct international flavor today with Canadian Al Balding leading the pack and a Londoner, a New Zealander and American Bobbie Nichols close on his heels. Balding, playing one of his finest rounds in years, seized the first round lead Thursday with a six-under-par 66 — one shot better than 67s turned in by England’s Geoffrey Hunt and «Nichols and another stroke ahead of left-h and e r Bob first round lead Thursday with Charles Os New Zealand, The four pre-tournament favorites — Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Art Wall Jr., and Paul Harney — all found the foing rough on opening day. ’aimer had the best score among them — an even par 72 at Cypress Point. But 41 players broke par in the first round. Making his first start of 1964, Nicklaus ran into trouble on the fabled 16th hole at Cypress—a picturesque 222-yard par three hole that cuts across an inlet of the ocean. 'Die best Nicklaus could do there was make six after his tee shot sailed onto the beach and his recovery attempt plopped into the ice plant and was unplayable. Harney, who won the Los Angeles Open, skied to a 76, the same score recorded by Wall, who was last week’s winner at San Diego. Balding ran down five birdie putts ranging in distance from one foot to 22 feet and he scored an eagle three on the 475-yard 10th hole with a tremendous two-iron second shot to within a foot of the pin. In the • race for the 72-hole •medal prize among the professionals, there was a big traffic jam in the 69 bracket. In the pro-amateur division in which celebrities are paired with the professionals, the best ball leaders going into the second round were veteran Mike Fetchick and former California Amateur champion Charlie Seaver of Fresno with a 58. Seaver helped his partner to the tune of 12 shots. College Basketball Virginia Tech 73, William & Mary 66. Florida State 91, Memphis State 90. Wyoming 87, Arizona State (Tempe) 82.
