Angola Wrestlers In Match Here Tonight A large crowd is expected to be on hand this evening when the Decatur high school wrestling team makes its fijrst home appearance in nearly seven full weeks. Angola, one of the newer teams competing in the sport, will provide the opposition, with a 7 o’clock startling time slated. In a preliminary, beginning at 5:30 p.m., Union City will send its varsity squad to Decatur to battle coach Gary Giessler’s reserve squad. The Decatur' reserves lost to Marion Tuesday night by a 24-17 score, but this was due to the fact that Decatur did not have a full team and was forced to forfeit two matches and 10 points. Tom Hawkins won his match with a pin, while Tox Maxwell and Andy Crider won decisions, and Bill Blythe, Dal Whittenfeld and Steve Bauman fought to draws. Tonight’s match will be the first home encounter for thei Decaturites since a December 7 victory over Howe Hilitary. The upset win over Marion gave the local grapplers a fine 7-2 record with four matches remaining. Week's Schedule Os Adams County Basketball Teams Friday Fort Wayne Luers at? Commodores.

Writers Fail To Select New Hall Os Fame BOSTON (UPI) - What'll you have — shortstop, pitcher, catcher or Duckey Joe Medwick? That’s roughly the choice facing the mossbacks of the nation's baseball writers who begin almost immediately to choose among some of baseball’s greats of yesteryear. Some 286 10-year veteran diamond writers must settle, by Feb. 3, another stalemated Hall of Fame election. They will be following a new procedure established four years ago by the Baseball Writers Association of America—for a time when they just couldn’t reach a decision. The BWAA installed a special runoff election, apparently from embarrassment over the fact that they had chosen only two Hall of Famers in six years. Results of the baseball primary Wednesday night made Luke Appling just one vote stronger than Charlie (Red) Ruffing. Appling played shortstop and spoiled good pitches for the Chicago White Sox for 21 seasons. Ruffing, after a dismal career start in Boston, went on to become one of the top pitchers in New York Yankee history. That pair ran 1-2 in biannual baseball balloting. At 142 votes, Appling missed Hall of Fame election — “a great honor,” he said —by just nine votes. Ruffing finished only one vote behind Appling. Paralyzed former Dodger catcher Roy Campanella was a distant third on the preliminary election list at 115 votes, 36 short of the number needed for election. And Gashouse Gang member Medwick was even further back at 108 votes, 43 short of a niche in the Cooperstown, N.Y., baseball shrine. The writers must now start all over again in a rare bid for agreement. They Have until Feb. 3 to give somebody 75 per cent of their votes and a ticket to the baseball Hall of Fame.

Muncie Tries To Carry On Sport Program MUNCIE, Ind. (UPl)—Muncie Central High School athletic officials are trying to make the best of the one-year suspension handed the school by the Indiana High School Athletic Association. “It’s a tough decision to abide by. We have our personal opinions about the ruling, but we are trying to carry, on a program as if nothing had happened,” said Dwight (Ike) Tailman, coach of Central’s state basketball chapions. The IHSAA Board of Control handed down the penalty, covering all varsity sports, for—among other reasons—“laxity and irregularities in the administration of the interscholastic athletic program by Muncie school officials.” The penalty brought bitter reaction here but Tallman, who guided Muncie to the state title last_ March, said the school is trying to carry on its athletic program. Muncie was forced to cancel the remainder of its regular basketball games but Tallman’s Bearcats are working out every day. Hie school has lined up two basketball games with the Taylor University freshmen, the first next Tuesday, and Tallman is willing to play any college team which will schedule Muncie. If permitted tq do so, the Bearcats also will play independent amateur teams in this area—teams in Andersbn, New Castle and Marion. Tallman said his players were “hurt real deeply” by the penalty. “A lot of boys will be put out of athletics this year and next,” he said. “Football is hit the worst, then track and baseball. It’s a tough break for kids who are juniors this year.” He said school officials have not yet decided what to do about the several thousand season basketball tickets whic& were sold before the season started. “Either we will refund the money or carry the tickets ouer to next year,” he said. V Tallman said he had not decided whether to watch, somf of Muncie’s traditional rivals In the remaining few weeks of the regular season. He said Ije hoped to line up enough games to keep busy. He said- he wasn’t up to watching any games last weekend but Tuesday night he watched former Muncie Central star Mike Rolf score 36 points and grab 18 rebounds in the Cincinnati freshmen’s 80-75 victory over the Ball State frosh here. “He ought to make All-Amer-ica,” Tallman said. When the question of the penalty came up again, Tallman said, “We have our personal opinion about that but I don’t think anything I would say would help the situation. We just have to make the best of it.”

British Toboggan Competitor Killed INNSBRUCK, Austria (UPD ' — The death of a British toboggan competitor threw a pall over preparations today for the 1964 Winter Olympics although U. S. bobsled Coach Stan Benham exprssed high hopes for his team in the games opening next week. Kazimierz Skrzytecky, 50, of Britain, died Wednesday after being injured in a spill while on a practice run. The London County council architect suffered a fractured skull, fractured pelvis, double fracture of the arnj hnd other injuries in the accident Tuesday. His death has been unexpected by doctors since his return to consciousness ■ earlier Wednesday gave rise to the belief he was recovering as ten emergency surgery. Meanwhile, preparations for the games advanced to the final stages with a total of 380 athletes from 19 countries already on hand. Benham refused to be disillusioned * over the Americans’ poor showing in recent racing tegts. None of the three American two-man bobsleds finished among the top six in Wednesday’s runs down the glazed ice shute at nearby Igls.

Finley Mails Out Contracts To Athletics By United Press International Maybe he has no ballpark yet, but at least Charles O. Finley is going to make sure he has some ballplayers. Finley has one more week to work out a Municipal Stadium lease with Kansas City officials, according to a resolution passed by American League owners, or else. .. Nevertheless, the energetic owner of the Athletics still has to sign his players. Pitcher Diego Segui and infielder George Williams became the first members of the Athletics to sign their contracts, which were mailed to them by General Manager Pat Friday.

Since the Athletics abandoned their offices in Municipal Stadium, Friday mailed the contracts from his home. While the Athletics are merely starting to sign their players, the Chicago Cubs are near, ly finished. Southpaw Freddie Norman became the 24th member of the Club to okay his terms after outfielder Don Landrum and pitcher Jack Warner also signed their contracts. Right-hander Alvin Mcßean,
