Winter Olympic Games To Open On Wednesday

INNSBRUCK, Austria (UPI) —The United States won a long battle for ski equality today and the luck of the draw gave the American squad its best chance yet for a first victory in the men’s downhill speed race, one of the two glamor events of the Winter Olympic Games. > Head Coach Bob Beattie of the University of Colorado took * his men and women out for their last training sessions before the official opening of the ninth Olympiad Wednesday jubilant over his success in persuading the International Ski Federation to seed the veteran Bud Werner, 27, of Steamboat Springs Colo., and William (Billy) Kidd,2o, of Stowe, Utah. For the first time in Olympic history two Americans will be among the elite skiers who flash down the slopes before the rank and file and thus get the best of the surface conditions —a vital factor in determining who wins the gold, silver and bronze medals. Had Rough Go Hitherto Americans have had to make their hopeless runs over slopes roughed up and tracked by many skiers before them. But Beattie had another reason to be delighted with his argument before the International Ski Federation Monday night that American skiing had come of age and tournaments in the United States should be given the same weight as European competitions , .in working out rankings. With Norway backing his claim that- any other interpretation would be “unjust and unfair,” the federation voted 17 to 4 with six nations abstaining to enlarge the seeded list of 15 announced earlier in the evening to 16 so as to take in Kidd. Then the draw was held for starling places and Kidd won first position with Werner eighth. This means the wiry Kidd (5-8, 150 pounds) will have everything in his favor when he starts down the steep, icy slope on Patscherkofel Mountain at noon (1100 GMT) Thursday. Hard-Packed Course For that matter so will the similarly built Werner for the man-made course is packed harder than natural snowfall and most of the other seeded skiers —sous Germans, four Austrians, three Frenchmen, two Swiss and an Italian—will have to blame something bedsides—ski gouges on the hill if they fail to place. After the federation voted in hfe favor on the seedings Beattie galantly Withdrew his protests. With the start of actual competition drawing near Austrian officials were worried about a weather forecast of higher temperatures for the next 24 hours —a rise above freezing could be “catastrophic” because of the continued lack of snow.

DePaul Beats LU. For 13th Straight Win By JOE GERGEN UPI Sports Writer Attention all basketball fans: Be on the lookout for a talented imposter at DePaul University. He is 6-foot-10, was last seen wearing short pants, and answers to the name of George Mikan. His real name is Dave Mills, and he’s only a sophomore center at the school which Mikan proudly carried to the top of the college basketball world two decades ago. But Mills already has the Chicago area hoodwinked and is about ready to make an assault on the gullibility of the entire nation. For a starter, Mills has attained the same physical stature as the legendary giant who later went on to stardom with the Minneapolis Lakers. And furthermore, Mills led his team to its 13th victory in 13 games tins season — the very same thing Mikan did exactly 20 years ago—as the Blue Demons dropped Indiana, 85-78, Monday night. Loyola Snaps Back Loyola, another Chicago school that gives the Windy City a frightening one-two punch, decked Dayton, 70-56; Providence surprised Creighton 80- and Michigan State edged Ohio State, 102-99 in other games. DePaul, one of the country’s three undefeated major college teams, trailed by a single point at the half. But MiHs, who poured in. a high of 25 for the game, sparked a second-half comeback that vaulted the Blue Demons into a comfortable 81- lead with four minutes left to play. Loyola snapped out of a twogame losing streak to trim Dayton. The ninth-ranked Ramblers, last year’s NCAA champions, tore loose in the final four minutes to score 13 straight points while holding the Flyers scoreless. Ron Miljer and John Egan paced Loyola with 25 and 23 points, respectively. Blew Big Lead Providence blew a 17-point lead in the second half, but John Thompson's field goal in the final minute eased the Friars past favored Creighton, which had won 15 of its previous 17 games. Thompson was high nlan for Providence with 26 points, as the Friars record_ed their seventh victory in a row and 11th in 14 starts. Ohio State’s All-America center Gary Bradds tossed in 48 points to tie the Buckeye single game record set by Jerry Lucas two years ago, but Michigan State rallied from an 11point deficit to gain the win. The loss dropped Ohio State’s Big Teh record to 4-2 and cleared the way for Michigan to capture the crown. Detroit rolled up the highest point total ever scored against St. Bonaventure as the Titans stunned the Bonnies, 111-81. Dick Dzik scored 25 points for Detroit, which put the Bonnies’ season record at 16-3. In other games, Tennessee handed Georgia Tech their second consecutive defeat with an 83-63 victory that gave the Vols undisputed possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference; Utah defeated Stanford, 87-81; Kansas State beat Oklahoma, 97-91; St. Francis (N.Y.) upset Niagara, 59-38, and Georgia drubbed South Caroline, 112-90.

Former Berne Star L U. Frosh Regular

Erv Inniger, a standout performer on the Berne basketball team for three seasons, is continuing his outstanding play as a mefnber of the Indiana University freshman squad. A starting guard for the I. U. frosh, Inniger has scored 47 points in three freshman games thus far, for an average of nearly 16 points a contest. He scored 16 points in his first contest, dropped off to six in the second game, and then came up with his biggest night with a 25-point performance In the third contest. The Indiana freshmen play in-tra-squad games only, as a Big Ten rule prohibits freshmen from competing with teams from other schools. A forward in his three years on the Bear varsity. Inniger has been switched to guard and reports are he has quickly adapted to the change. He stands six feet three and one-half inches tall, and weighs about 186 pounds, as he has added about 17 pounds since his high school playing days. Impresses Coaches A report from the Indiana University staff says Inniger “has impressed coaches of the frosh squad and they predict a bright intercollegiate future for him when he moves up to the varsity next season.” The report also says that "Hoosier baseball coach Ernie Andres also is looking forward to Erv’s help, in view of his four-year high school pitching record.” After three spectacular seasons at Berne, Inniger last spring chose to attend the Bloomington school and received an athletic grant-in-aid. 1,145 Career Pta. While at Berne, Inniger played on three sectional winners, two county tourney winners, and two regional winners. Berne teams advanced to the semi-state round at the state tournament in his sophomore and senior years. One of the most prolific scorers in Adams county basketball history, Inniger tallied 1,145 in regular seasons and tournament competition in his three seasons on the varsity squad. In his sophomore year, he scored 157 points in the regular season for a 7.6 average, and added 78 tourney points in seven contests. His junior year saw an increase to 313 points in 21 games a 14.9 average, iind lft tfoints in four tourney contests. —Fine Finish Inniger topped off hi's fine high school career with 377 points and a 19.8 average in his senior campaign. He added 133 tallies in- six tournament games while leading his team into the semistate last season. Inniger was always known as a “clutch” performer, which is born out by the fact that in 17 IHSAA tournament games during his career he scored 296 points for a fine 17.4 per game average. Berne, during Inniger’s three varsity seasons, posted an amaz-

ing total of 53 regular season victories against just nine defeats, and won 14 of 17 in post season tournament play. Inniger is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Inniger of 155 Dearborn St., Berne. Youger brother Rick is a 6-1 junior starter on the present Berne squad. Rodriguez Is Winner Lucky Open Playoff SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — Golf has a new king of the hill today — pint-sized Juan (Chi Chi) Rodriguez. Rodriguez won $7,500 Monday — exactly what he needs to build a home for his family in Puerto Rico—and collected the Lucky International golf championship in a head-on playoff with the veteran Don January. Chi Chi fired a one-under-par 70 and January lost the third playoff of his career when he came in with an even par 71. “I came from a very poor family,” Rodriguez said after his playoff victory, “and I have been saving money for 20 years to build a home for my family. I needed exactly $7,500 to build it and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” Rodriguez Is a 28-year-old bachelor whose father and mother are dead. But he helps support two sisters and two brothers in Puerto Rico. Chi Chi not only edged January in the overtime duel but while shooting a 12-under-par 272 over the regulation 72-hole route he beat Arnole Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Julius Boros and almost every top-ranked pro in the world. _ The playoff—worth $4,000 to the loser—was from start to finish all Rodriguez. He went one up on the fourth when January hit a hooked tee shot, gained another on the next hole when the tall Texan again was in trouble and with a ninth hole birdie, boosted his margin to three up. ‘ vFrom there on in Chi Chi admitted he played it safe. "I don’t like that,” he said. “That’s not my game.*’ Down two strokes going into the final hole, January made a belated bid for a tie by holding a 24-foot putt for a birdie. But Rodriguez, only 12 feet away from the cup, carefully twoputted his par four and his biggest jackpot since he started on the pro tour in 1960. Rodriguez, who heretofore has played in few winter tournaments on the PGA swing because he dislikes cold weather, intends to stay on the circuit indefinitely.
