Davidson Is Handed First Season Defeat By United Press International Midnight struck one second to soon for little Davidson, and the Wildcats* star center Fred Hetzel was transformed into a pumpkin. Davidson, a school with a total population of 1,000, had entertained fairy-tale hopes of going undefeated against the country’s basketball powers until a crushing goal-tending violation against Hetzel in the last second of Wednesday night’s game enabled West Virginia to edge the Wildcats, 75-73. The Wildcats stood 15-0 until substitute * Marty Lentz let fly with a sorcerous 50-foot shot from midcourt with the score tied at 73-all. Hetzel, the Southern Conference player of the year in 1963 and Davidson’s first authentic All-America candidate, leaped at the basket in self defense and inadvertently grabbed the rim and net for the costly penalty. Hetzel, however, did score 19 points for Davidson, which led at the half, 44-38. Game honors went to Wildcat teammate Dick Snyder with 20. Davidson easily whipped the Mountaineers, now 10-8, in an earlier meeting, 93-82. It was also a big night for upsets in the East. St. John’s, led by the Mclntyre brothers, turned back touring Creighton, 64-60, and senior Karl Vogelsang came off the bench to spark Pennsylvania to a 66-51 victory over * favored St. Joseph’s. In other major games, Temple topped Connecticut, 53-45; . i Loyola of Chicago swamped Western Michigan, 101-64; New York University rolled over Santa Clara, 79-64 and lona downed Massachusetts, 80-71. Elsewhere, LaSalle scored a come-from-behind, 50-46 triumph over Gettysburg; Miami (Fla.) overpowered Taimpa, 134-104; Louisville clipped Bellarmine, 78-70; Georgia turned back Virginia Tech, 96-87; and Tulsa rolled to a 94-79 victory over Missou/i.

Jacobs And Sifford Lead Palm Springs PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPI) — Pro golf’s marathon—the 90-hole Palm Springs Classic—goes into its second round today and the ostensible individual leaders are Tommy Jacobs and Charlie Sifford. Jacobs, a 29-year old Univer»ity of Southern California graduate, and Sifford, the 40year old five-time Negro Open golf champion, both scored 66s Wednesday in the start of the tournament involving 128 pros and 384 amateurs —a total of 512 golfers — on four courss in this desert playground. Each pro plays with a different amateur threesome for the first tour rounds and then the pros go it alone for the fifth and final round. Low Best Bali Money prizes have been put each day for low pro and for the pro whose amateur team—with handicaps — gets the lowest best ball score. Jacobs picked up a total of $295 in this intricate scoring system but he’s shooting for the $7,500 first prize at the end of 90 holes. Sifford won a total of $437.50 in pro and pro-am scoring. Arnold Palmer was shut out of the money. Palmer drew a two-stroke penalty when he played one of his amateur partner’s golf balls on the 14th hole at Eldorado Country Club. Palmer had a 78—six over par. Jack Nicklaus, the defending champion here, won exactly $8.33 tor his first round 73—one over par at Eldorado. Sifford Played La, Quinta Sifford played the tight La Quinta course which has a par of 36-36—72. His partner in the first round leadership, Jacobs, played Bermuda Dunes which is generally considered an easier course. What’s more, Jacobs represents Bermuda on the pro tour and has played it often. In close contention after the first round were two sharpies at 67 — Bob Goalby with 34-33, and the southpaw British Open champion Bob Charles with 33-34. At 68 was Bob Rosburg, the former PGA champion, 34-34. And at 69 were; Don January, Doug Sanders, Art Wall, Jerry Pittman, Johnny Pott, Ted Kroll, Tom Nieporte, and Bob Harrison.
Frick Favors Exemption Os All Pro Sports WASHINGTON (UPl)—Baseball Commissioner Ford C. Frick said today that football, hockey and basketball should enjoy the same exemptions under the anti-trust laws as the national pastime. Frick told the Senate momopoly subcommittee that organized baseball believed all professional sports “should receive equal treatment under the law.’’ But he cautioned against undermining baseball’s present position because the sport “by its conduct through the years, has proved its right to continue its unique form of self-en-terprise by orderly self-regula-tion.” In a prepared statement Frick strongly endorsed legislation which would put basketball, football and hockey on the same footing — in regard to anti-trust laws — as baseball. Frick was scheduled as the second witness at the opening of hearings on the legislation. Under the proposed bill, antitrust regulations would not apply to agreements and rules pertaining to the equalization of competitive playing strengths; the employment, selection or eligibility of players, or player contracts; geographical rights; the power of the sports of selfpolicing. Leadoff witness George Selkirk, general manager of the Washington Senators, recommended passage of the bill in a brief prepared statement. “As a former player myself,” Selkirk said, “I find all aspects of baseball under the past and present governing regulations reasonable and equitably to all participants.” Baseball’s present exemption stems from a Supreme Court decision of 1922 which wasreindecision of 1922 which was reinforced by an opinion in a 1953 case. Neither decision covered other sports. Frick said l»e hoped Congress would pass a bill and “bring to these sports enterprises the immunity from legal harassment that the unique nature of their operations require.”

Finley Again Rejects Terms Os Kansas City KANUAS CITY, Mo. (UPI)— Charles O. Finley, owner of the homeless Kansas City Athletics, was back today where he stood more than one month ago — at an impasse in lease negotiations with his former landlords at Municipal Stadium. Finley refused again Wednesday yield in his demands for a two-year lease, saying that a longer.— committment here would invite bankruptcy. The city, likewise, would not back down in its demand for a lease of at least four years in length. City officials said fans here have a right to baseball stability after supporting the second division club with an average annual attendance of 894,984 for the past nine years. “But we don’t know what the attendance is going to be here,” said the owner, speaking of the future. “I cannot survive on small attendance. Finley said he had troubles other than the lengthy lease negotiations, which he claimed would hurt future attendance here, and the American League’s ultimatum telling him to sign a lease here by Feb. 15 or face expulsion from baseball. He said federal tax agents were peering over his shoulder with eyebrows raised at his tax benefits from taking full depreciation on his baseball players within the three years he has owned the Athletics. He told city officials the Internal Revenue Service believes fie should have spread the depreciation benefits over a longer period of time. ing for approximately $250,000 more,” he said. The owner, whose baseball team is incorporated within his multi-million-dollar medical in„surapce company, said he thus was rejecting the alternate city proposals for a four-year lease that he took under advisement last Saturday. Until Wednesday, Finley faced a deadline of Saturday on the league’s ultimatum. But Joe Cronin, league president, granted him a 14-day extension Wednesday at the request of Finley’s attorney, Louis Nizer■. College Basketball Evansville 100, St. Joseph’s 72.

National Guard To Train On Weekends INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Thousands of Indiana National Guard members soon will be on a nation’s-first monthly weekend drill schedule replacing the traditional one-night-a-week training program. The change, scheduled to be effective for all units by April 1, already has brought criticism from ministers over plans to drill on Sundays. Col. Jack Elrod, executive officer in the office of Adj. Gen. John S. Anderson, said “as far as we can determine, Indiana will be the first state to fully adopt” the new program. Elrod answered clergymen’s complaints on Sunday drilling by saying the schedule calls for religious services on Sunday as part of the training program. He said in addition to the guard chaplains, local ministers will be asked to aid in conducting the Sunday services and eventually disappear.” “I think there will be some men attending religious services with the guard who normally would not be inj a church on Sunday at hogje,’’;* EUod said. Indiana and eight other states have participated in a test since last October. Two armored battalions stationed at Bedford and Shelbyville, a reconnaissance squadron at Marion, an armored battalion and the Ist Headquarters Battalion here took part in the test. Two weeks ago, Anderson and Elrod met with National Guard officials in Washington and "from the other test states — Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey, South Carolina and Tennessee. Elrod said the test showed the monthly weekend .training period was superior to the one-night-a-week period- Attendance was as good as or better than, and Anderson said the actual training time was “four to five times” that under the one-night-a-week drill. “It greatly increased the mobility readiness and the training level,” Elrod added. As a result of the tests, the National Guard Bureau approved the new plan for all states. Indiana already is underway with the change and plans to have all units on the new schedule by Aprill. “As far as we can determine Indiana will be the first state to fully adopt it,” Elrod said. He said the other test states have a July 1 target date.
U. S. Shut Out In Day's Show At Olympics INNSBRUCK, Austria (UPI) —Three favorites — downhill skier Egon Zimmermann of Austria, cross - country skier Eero Maetyranta of Finland, and women’s speedskater Lidia Skoblikova of Russiawon three gold medals in the winter Olympics, shutting out the United States in today’s competition. Maetyranta and Miss Skoblikova, a pretty blonde teacher both smashed Olympic records and Zimmerman, the glamor boy of Austrian skiing, delighted his legion of fans in the host nation by narrowly averting disaster to win the dangerous downhill. It was a brilliant day for the Russian team as Miss Skoblikova paced a 1-2-3 Soviet sweep in the women’s speedskating race and the Soviets also picked up a bronze medal in the cross-country skiing. The Russians, who took a gold medal in pairs figure skating Wednesday night, now have a total of five medals in the games. The U.S. team, however, came up empty-handed. Janice Smith, Rochester, N.Y., took fourth and Jean Ashworth, Minneapolis, was fifth behind the Russian sweep in the women’s speedskating. But the best the Yanks could produce in the downhill ski was a 14th place by Annibale (ND Orsi, Stockton, Calif., and the top U. S. performance in the crosscountry ski was 31st place by Michael W. Elliott, Colo. In four events the U.S. team has yet to gain a medal, Won Two Medals Miss Skoblikova, who won two gold medals for Russia in the 1960 Winter Olympics, gave a brilliant performance in the 500meter event. Her time of 45.0 seconds flat eclipsed by almost a full second the Olympic mark of 45.9 set •four years ago by Helga Haase of Germany, who finished eighth today. Also breaking the old record were Irinia Yegorova in second place in 45.4 and Tatyana Sidorova in third in 45.5. Zimmermann took the downhill, title with 2:18.16 but nearly blew the whole thing 500 meters from the finish “when I almost lost my balance.’’ “However, I was lucky and regained control and avoided a fall,” said the handsome, 24-year-old Austrian, who also is favored to win the giant slalom on Sunday. “Everything went perfectly on the upper part, but I could have been better on the second part.” Francis Lacroix took second for France with 2:18.19, and Wolfgang Bartels of Germany was third with 2:19.48. The top 50 finishers in the cross-country skiing all bettered the old Olympic record for the event of 1:44:06.0. Maetyranta, a Finnish policeman from the far north Finnish town of Pello, won the race in one hour, 30 minutes, 50.7 seconds. Harald Groenningen of Norway was second in 1:32:02.3 and Igor Bronchikhin gave Russia a bronze medal for third place in 1:32:15.8. Russians Pull Upset Russia opened its campaign Wednesday night to become over-all leader ip medals once again when its veteran figure skating pair of Oleg Protopov and Ludmilla Belousova upset the world champions, HansJuergen Baeumler and Marika Kilius of Germany, by less than one point. The Russians turned in an alalmost faultless display that forced a capacity crowd of 11,- ’ 000 in the Olympic ice stadium to cheer although its sympathies were with the handsome young German couple. The Germans were not in their best form and had to be content with the Silver Medal. A Canadian pair, Debbi Wilkes and Tony Revell, were third. Fourth place went to Vivian and Ronald Joseph of Highland Park, 111., and Denver, Colo. The American ice hockey team dropped its first match to the tough Russian team, 5-1, Wednesday and does not have a chance to win the round robin. The Soviet world champions are favored, but they face a fight from the Czech team, which beat Germany. 11-1, Wednesday night and from Sweden and, possibly, Canada, victors over Switzerland, 8-0.

Accidentally Kills Sister With Gun MILLERSBURG, Ind. (UPI) —A young boy playing cowboys and Indians with what he thought was a BB rifle accidentally killed his sister with a shotgun blast Wednesday at their rural home near here. Police said Jane Marie Warfle, 5, R.R. 1, Millersburg, was struck in the chest by a blast from a shotgun fired by her brother, Thomas, 6. The child died en route to Goshen General Hospital. Officers said Thomas and two of his brothers were upstairs playing while their mother, Mrs. Mary Warfel, and the other children watched television downstairs. The beys said Thomas took the gun from beneath a bed and began pulling the trigger and threatening to "shoot” them. Officers said the safety apparently was on and the gun did not fire. The boys said Jane then walked up the stairs and r Thomas pointed the gun at her and said, “I’m going to shoot you with a BB.” By that time, he had somehow released the safety and the gun fired when he pulled the trigger.
