Minnesota Is Upset Winner Over Michigan By United Press International Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home, especially in basketball. Winston-Salem, N.C. and Minneapolis, Minn, were the sites of major college basketball upsets Tuesday night as Wake Forest stunned Duke, 72-71 and Minnesota shocked Michigan, 89-75. Duke traveled cross-state to lose its first Atlantic Coast Conference game in 28 outings. The Blue Devils had been 10-0 this year and last season won all 17 games, including the ACC playoffs. Wake Forest led from the outset and relinquished the lead only briefly with three minutes left. Superior shooting was the difference for the Deacons who hit for 53 per cent from the floor while the fourth ranked Blue Devils could connect for only 39 per cent. Lost Rebound Battle Duke’s Jay Buckley, 6-foot-10 center, was the game’s high scorer with 26 points but lost the battle of the backboards to the Deacons 6-foot-6 junior, Ronny Watts who grabbed 17 rebounds. Frank Christie had 25 points for Wake Forest, who meet the Blue Devils again next week on the losers court. Michigan was shaken to the roots of its number two rating as Minnesota built up a commanding 43-25 halftime advantage, while Michigan was shoot- ■ ing 27 per cent from the field. Minnesota avenged an early season 80-66 pasting with balanced scoring. Lou Hudson and Terry Kunze tallied 19- apiece and Mel Northway had 16. The defeat dropped the Wolverines into a Big Ten tie with Ohio State, both with 8-2 records, with Minnesota in the background at 7-3. Georgia Tech delighted a capacity crowd as it nipped Tennessee, 47-45, to move back into a first-place tie in the South- - eastern Conference with Kentucky. ‘ R. D. Craddock, returning to’ action after being injured last week, sank three free throws in the final minutes for the victory. Loyola Wins 16th Tenth-ranked Loyola of Chicago held off Bowling Green for a 92-83 victory, the Ramblers 16th win in 21 games. The nation’s leading scorer, Howie Komives dropped in 40 points in a losing effort - Davidson, (No. 8), snapped a two-game losing string overwhelming East Carolina College, 105-45. Fred Hetzel, the Wildcat’s top point-producer, had 27 while seeing limited action in the second half. Elsewhere across the country; Cincinnati coasted to a 99-84 win over St. Joseph’s of Indiana; Texas A&M maintained a one game lead in the Southwest Conference by stopping Baylor, 77-71. while sec-ond-place Texas Tech defeated TCU. 101-94; accurate foul shooting enabled Virginia Tech to beat Furman, 78-75; and Maryland pinned a 74-64 defeat on North Carolina. -_L.

Geneva First Team I Drawn In Pairings INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Geneva in the Adams Central sectional was the first team picked today as pairings were made for the 54th annual Indiana high school basketball tourney. Herbert E. Rissler, Van Buren, a member of the IHSAA Board (jfCoatt 01, tricked Geneva, also the first team selected in the blind draw last year. Matt Walker, Vincennes, another board member, picked the second team, Decatur. They were the first of 597 hopefuls in the four-week title chase drawn as the board made pairings for the entire tourney path, 85 sessions in all. Sectional warfare gets under way next Wednesday. Finley Asks A's Transfer To Oakland CHICAGO (UPD — Charles O. Finley will request other American League owners to approve his request to transfer the Kansas City Athletics to Oakland, Calif., despite a ruling that the subject will not be considered at a special meeting Friday. “I intend to bring the matter up,” Finley said. ‘I don’t know whether they can refuse to act on it if it isn’t on the agenda, but at least I can make them vote to show they won’t consider it.” The Friday meeting was called to consider Finley’s status in the league in view of his failure to comply with an order to sign a lease for Municipal Stadium in Kansas City, as directed by the American League last month. Finley asked league President Joe Cronin Monday to enlarge the agenda for the meeting to include consideration of his application to move to Oakland. Cronin rejected his request Tuesday. y “I am not willing to grant your request,” Cronin telegraphed. + -j “That’s exactly what I expected from Joseph E. Cronin,” Finley said. Finley was uncertain whether Cronin had the by-laws behind him in refusing to authorize consideration of the application to move since he had requested approval of Oakland as the site of his franchise prior to Feb. 1, deadline for making such applications to move into open territory. Finley had a brush with Sen. Edward V. Long, D-Mo., and produced letters dated in 1962 to prove that he had offered to discuss the financial affairs of the Athletics with Long. Long Tuesday requested the Senate sub-committee on antitrust and monopoly to subpoena Finley and his books to determine whether there was “manipulation of stock” in his purchase of the club. - Finley cited a letter from Long dated July 23, 1962, which requested information on the Athletics and an answer from his attorney to Long Aug. 7, 1962, offering to discuss the matter with Long in Chicago or Washington.

season for the Yellow Jackets, against just three wins. They close out the season Friday night at Leo and go against Geneva in the first game of the sectional one week from tonight. The Decatur quintet led throughout the first period and a half of last night’s contest, but Dunkirk took the lead late in the second period and was never headed, although the ’Cats had to halt a Jacket rally late in the The Jackets led 2-0 and 4-2 at the outset before baskets by Greg Ladd and sophomore Sam Blythe gave them an 8-4 margin. Dunkirk tied the score, but Ladd and Jerry Egly retaliated with baskets, sending the Jackets to a 13-10 lead after one period. Build, Lose Lead Max Elliott scored from under the basket, Blythe converted a three-point play and Dave Hammond popped In a jump shot early in the second stanza and gave Decatur a 20-13 lead. Dunkirk began to whittle at the lead and finally tied matters at 24-all with 3:25 to play on a two-pointer by Frank Lovis. Center Jack Bullock’s rebound effort 35 seconds later gave Dunkirk the lead and they moved to a 34-27 advantage at halftime. Ladd scored a pair of free tosses and Hammond hit from the field early in the third frame, but the Speedcats began finding the range and scored nine points as compared to a lone basket by EUiotjt, giving the home club their biggest lead of the game, 48-32, with 2:45 left in the third stanza. Dunkirk extended its lead to 53-37 entering the final period. Jackets Rally Trailing 57-44 early in the period, the Jackets ripped in eight straight points on buckets by Ken Riffle, Ladd and Elliott, and free throws by Craig McEwan and Egly, to trail by just five points, 57-52, with 2:19 to play. Eighteen seconds later, however, Lovis sank two charity attempts and moments later had another foul shot that he missed, but Pete Kiplinger tipped in the rebound and the Speedcats had a 61-52 lead with 1:47 left and were never threatened the rest of the way. Bullock’s 18 topped the winners, and Kiplinger and Hamilton chipped in with 17 and 15 respectively. Blythe and Ladd were the only Decaturites in twin figures, with 15 and 14 respectively, and Egly and Elliott added nine each. Officials Tiernan and Acton called a fine ball game as they let the two clubs play ball, but still kept the contest under control.

Draw Smiles On Favorites In Prep Meets INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — It took just 41 minutes today—a record—to pair the 597 hopefuls for next week’s Indiana high school basketball tourney sectionals, which should be a breeze for most season-long powers.

Hard-Fought Semi-Final At Capital Seen Second of four stories on probable team alignments by semi-state districts in the Indiana high school basketball tourney. By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (U PI) — With unbeaten Columbus, Tech and Washington of Indianapolis and Anderson the top contenders, the Central semi-state of the Indiana high school basketball tourney should be one of the most hotly-contested. That’s a lot of talent in one melting pot and the only consolation is they can’t all get into one show at the same site. Columbus has its own sectional and regional. Tech should rule as tte favorite in the Butler Fieldhouse sectional here' and the same applies to Washington at suburban Southport Ray Estes thinks h|s Anderson club may be extended in the first round, but that may be just so much psychological warfare. Although 13-point losers at Columbus last weekend, the Indians are also top favorites in their own bailiwick. Columbus is Perfect There’s nothing sure, of course, but these four quintets must be tabbed as favorites in the preliminaries of the 54th annual go-round. Tall and talented Tech has been beaten only by Washington’s westsiders, and Tech promptly handed Washington its lone setback last Saturday. Should these two city rivals tangle a third time, there won’t be enough seats at spacious Butler to accommodate the curious. Columbus, the state’s high-est-scoring major team, can put together back-to-back perfect seasons by winning at Jeffersonville Friday. The beefy Bulldogs have hit 100 points or more six times in 19 games and are endowed with possibly the state’s top 1-2 punch in Jerry Newsom and Steve Hollenbeck. The UPI form chart doesn’t show anybody capable of derailing the high-flying Bulldogs in the first two weeks of the month-long grind, but what happened to Evansville Bosse’s defending state champs in the Southern semi-state last year, when virtually everybody had them already in the state finals, could happen here, too. Muncie Missing Bosse was axed by Terre Haute Garfield in one of those classic upsets, but Garfield couldn’t cut the mustard in the grand finale. The other outfits to watch in this district are New Castle and Rushville. New Castle beat Rushville by 12 points recently, lost to tough Lafayette by a single point in the final seconds and to Anderson by two. Anderson and Columbus are the only other teams to get past Rushville, whicji is shooting for a 17-3 record this week —the best in the Lions’ history. Conspicuous by its absence froth the Central district is defending state champ Muncie Central, benched for a year for misconduct. That means two fine strings will run out this time—the Bearcats had won their sectional 16 . consecutive years and their regional title strfrig of 10 is second only to the all-time record of 11 hung up by Frankfort in the 19305.
