Geneva has? a 9-11 record, the Yellow Jac-s kets 3-17. 11 The second game Wednesday t 1 will send the Berne Bears, de-1 fending sectional and regional ? , champions, against the Monroe-r : ville Cubs, one of the two Allen county teams in this year's tour-? Stu Miller Os [ Orioles Seeks I I Pay Increase j By United Press International j Stu Miller was mighty proud ■ when he was named the Balti- p more Orioles’ most valuable g player for 1963. Now he’s sum ably using the award as a§ wedge in his negotiations for ag new contract. £■ The little relief ace - be-5; came an official holdout Monday when he failed to sign be-» fore the Baltimore batterymen t reported to new Manager Hank : Bauer at Miami. Miller, who hasn’t budged from his San Mateo, Calif., home won five games and was credited with 26 “saves” last season. The Orioles obtained the 36-year-old right-hander in a trade with the San Francisco Giants in 1962. Steve Barber also missed the Orioles’ first drill. The 20-game winner didn’t sign his contract for an estimated 24,000 until Monday afternoon in Baltimore. He departed immediately for Miami. The New York Yankees may encounter a few holdsouts when their batterymen start warming up at Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Thursday. Pitchers Jim Bouton, Steve Hamilton and Hal Reniff and catchers Ellston Howard and John 'Blanchard are still unstgded. ‘ i Juan' Marichal, a 25-game winner last season, and shortstop Jose Pagan were among the missing when the San Francisco Giants opened workouts at Casa Grande, Ariz. Both men are still haggling over their new contact. Willie Mays also missed the Giants opener but for a different reason. His car broke down in Phoenix. Carley James, who served as a stand-in for retired Stan Musial for the past three seasons, returned his . signed contract to the St. Louis Cardinals. James, a good bet to become a regular outfielder this year, batted .268, hit 10 home runs and knocked in 45 runs in 116 games last season.

Kentucky Is Upset Victim Os Alabama By JOE GERGEN UPI Sports Writer In the Southeastern Conference, happiness is a howling partisan crowd, - and security is a home court. That was the pattern< again Monday night when the SEC’s three most potent basketball teams — including secondranked Kentucky — took it on the chin on the road. A mediocre Alabama team, which hadn’t defeated Kentucky in eight years, lured the league-leading Wildcats into its smallish gym in Tuscaloosa arid throttled their normally potent offense to score one of the upsets of the year, 65-59. But the Wildcats nonetheless backed into at least a tie for the conference title aS runnerup Georgia Tech blew a golden opportunity to climb into a first-place tie. The Engineers were simply overwhelmed by a disappointing Florida team in Gainesville, 92-73. Georgia, playing in its brand new coliseum, scored its second major upset in three days by whipping 13th-ranked Vanderbilt, 81-69, before 10,000 delighted fans. The only team to escape the road menace was Tennessee, which nipped Auburn, 68-62, at the Tigers’ playpen. The Vols are now 8-4 in league play, and could force a possible threeway tie by beating Kentucky., next Saturday afternoon. .. ... Top ra t e d and undefeated UCLA rolled to its 23rd consecutive victory with a 78-64 triumph over Washington which assured the Bruins of the Big Six title and an NCAA berth. Two other members of the top 10 — ninth-ranked Loyola (Ill.) and lOth-ranked Texas Western —also scored victories. Loyola bumped St. Louis, 79-66, and Texas Western trounced New Mexico State, 90-54. In other games, Rick Falk set an all-time Northwestern scoring record with 49 points as the Wildcats trimmed lowa 98-76; Purdue pinned Illinois, 85-74; Indiana routed Wisconsin,. 108-82: Colorado edged Oklahoma State, 56-54; Virginia vanquished North Carolina, 7964; Stanford squeezed past Southern California, 64-63; and Murray State moved into first place in the Ohio Valley Conference by slugging East Tennessee State, 96-76.

UPI Writer Picks Berne As Champion By KURT FREUDJUNYHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The 64 sectionals in Indiana's high school basketball tourney opening Wednesday are almost split down the middle between favorites and underdogs. The UPI form chart lists 33 favorites—among them such highly touted quintets as Lafayette and unbeaten Columbus—but almost anything is possible at 31 first-round sites. Several new sectional wniners are assured right off bat—although not necessarily brandnew ones—as the result of mergers and shifting of contenders from one tourney site to another. Missing are Royal Center at Logansport, Monticello at Monon and Parker at Winchester. New sectional winners are also assured at Hammond and VanBuren, new tourney sites, and at Muncie, where defending state champ Central has been benched for a year for misconduct. ,_ Major realignments also dumped two 1963 sectional winners—Bloomfield and Freedom —into one tourney at Switz City. Freedom won at Spencer last time, but the Spencer show wijl be at Van Buren this time. Form Chart Listed Peru, which won its own tourney last year before losing it this time, is entered at Logansport. But with a 6-14 season record, the Tigers are not counted on to reach the second round. Generally speaking, about half the defending sectional champs repeat. With the everincreasing list of consolidations and shifting of tourney sites, the number of repeaters could dwindle easily. But the UPI form chart lists these as favorites: Berne at Adams Central, An derson, Angola, Boonville, Tipton at Carmel, Valparaiso at Chesterton, Rockville at Clinton, Attica at Covington, Columbus, Crawfordsville, Elkhart, Frankfort, Gary Roosevelt, Greencastle, Greensburg, Huntington, Indianapolis Tech, Jeffersonville, Kokomo, Lafayette, Logansport, Madison, Marion, Michigan City, Muncie South, New Castle, Richmond, Rushville, Seymour, Indianapolis Washington at Southport, Bloomfield at Switz City, Tell City and Vincennes. Among" 'the sectional defenders cast in the role of underdogs are Alexandria at Anderson, Noblesville at Carmel, Williamsport at Covington, Goshen at Elkhart, Bosse at Evansville, Broad Ripple at Indianapolis, Albion at Kendallville, Plymouth, Bryant at Portland, North Dearborn at Rising Sun, Morristown at Rushville. Southport, Sullivan and Washington. The “Unpredictables” Which means that virtually anything is possible at such sectionals as Bedford, Bluffton, Danville, Connersville, East Chicago, Evansville, Fort Wayne, Franklin, Hammond, Huntingburg, Kendallville, Kentland, Knox, Manchester, Martinsville, Milan, Monon, Plymouth, Portland, Princeton, Rensselaer, Rising Sun, Salem, South Bend, Sullivan, Terre Haute, Van Buren, Warsaw, Washington, Winchester and .Zionsville.

Liston Picked As Winner In Early Round MIAMI BEACH (UPI) — At last the bell sounds for "the moment of truth” tonight when loudmouth Cassius Clay tries to fulfill his boasts and wrest the world heavyweight crown from solid Sonny Liston. They were scheduled for 15 rounds in the red-roped ring of Convention Hall but practically no one expects the bout to go that distance. A poll of 58 U.S. and foreign sports writers covering the fight disclosed 55 picking Liston, all by a knockout. Os the three who favored the pretentious, 22-year-old challenger from Louisville, only one said he would score a knockout over the 30-year-old champion from Denver, Colo. Sonny, with long, muscular arms terminating in 15% inch fists, is favored at 7-1 to win. It’s even money that he scores a knockout within five rounds and 2-1 that he achieves a kayo within 10. MacDonald May Lose Another man who is practically certain to take a licking in this fight is Bill MacDonald, financial backer of the “live” fight here and co-promoter with Chris Dundee. MacDonald, a wealthy retired auto-trailer manufacturer, "bought” the fight from Intercontinental Promotions, Inc., for $625,000. But in an attempt to draw $1,100,000 in the 16,448seat Convention Hall, he priced the tickets from S2O to $250, a record anywhere for fight seats. Because of the seat prices and Clay’s amateurish showing in his late workouts and his reported connections with the Black Muslims, the advance sale here has been a “bust.” Friends estimate MacDonald may lose $500,000 because the original cost and promotional expenses will top SBOO,OOO. The crowd is expected to approximate 10,000. Reports Heavy Sale Conversely, Nathan L. Halpern, president of Theatre Network Television (TNT),, reported today a “landslide’ sale of tickets at many of the 271 locations for closed circuit television pf the fight in the United States and Canada. Clay, Olympic light heavyweight champion in 1960, seeks his 20th straight victory since his professional victory string, Cassius made but few changes in tiie style he used as an amateur — pulling away from straight punches and hooks instead of slipping the straight ones and bobbing beneath the head hooks. Clay is very fast on his feet; also speedy with jabs and with combinations. However, most of his punches are thrown with comparatively loose arms that do not deliver his body weight to the target. The chalenger is 1% inches taller than Listons 6-1. But the champion is a solid, muscular man who shuffles persistently forward and who is cat-quick

Two Theaters Cancel Telecast Os Fight NEW ORLEANS (UPI)—Two theaters cancelled the Sonny Liston-Cassius Clay heavyweight championship fight closed-circuit telecast Monday because Liston was opposed to segregated seating. Liston said earlier in the day he would not permit segregated showings. A last-minute agreement prevented possible cancellation of the telecast at Municipal Auditorium, the only other showing scheduled. The New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony Society and telecast promoters agreed the promoters would see that fight fans did not become unduly boisterious and disrupt a concert going on in another part of the building. The society had filed suit to block the telecast. It was to have been heard today. The management of the Saenger and State theaters announced cancellation of the telecast because the “laws of Louisiana” were “incompatible” with Liston’s insistence on integrated seating. Liston’s advisor, Jack Nilon, said the telecast contract for theater showings forbade segregated audiences. , The Municipal Auditorium recently was desegregated by federal court order.

He also has a dangerous but somewhat ponderous straight right to the head and a feet-lifting right uppercut to the chin. He also iaso rugged it seems one could hit him on the chin with a sledge hammer without making him blink. In Liston’s OQly defeat in his 36 bouts, Marty Marshall broke Sonny’s jaw while winning the decision. But Liston never hit the deck nor showed any sign of pain. In two later bouts, he kayoed Marshall (6) and outpointed him. Now Sonny seeks his 29th straight victory, his fifth consecutive knockout and his fourth straight first round kayo. Whether tonight’s bout ends quickly or goes the distance, Liston’s purse is expected to approach $1,150,000 from all sources. Clay, receiving 12% per cent, plus $50,000 training expenses, should collect about $690,000. ‘ .

I. U., Purdue Score Wins In Big Ten Gaines CHICAGO (UPI) — It was home court night again in Big Ten basketball. Northwestern, Purdue and Indiana, “all homers’* defeated visiting conference teams to give home teams 40 victories out of 54 conference games played this season, or a winning average of .740. Rich Falk set an all - time (Northwestern scoring record with 49 points in leading his fourth place team to a 98 - 76 victory over lowa. At one point of the lop-sided game Falk hit on four consecutive fielders and on six out of eight shots. His 49-point total erased the previous high of 40 shared by former Wildcat ace Joe Ruklick and Rick Lopossa of the present team. The loss was lowa’s eighth in 10 league starts. Indiana’s Van Arsdale twins teamed for 49 points in a 108-82 romp over Wisconsin, and Dave ScheUhase, the Big Ten’s hottest shooting sophomore pitched in 29 points to help Purdue defeat Illinois, 85-74. Dick Van Arsdale finished with 26 points and Tom had 23. The Hoosiers gave coach Branch McCracken a 40-point lead with almost 14 minutes left to play and the coach responded by emptying the bench and giving everybody a crack at the last place Badgers. At Purdue, ScheUhase scored the game’s first basket and teammate Bob Purkhiser put two more shots through the hoop in quick succession to give the Boilermakers a permanent lead. Covered Stadium Is Planned By Portland PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) — The Delta Park Recreation Commission Monday disclosed it plans to build an all-purpose domecovered stadium with a seating capacity of 46,730 at an estimated cost of $23.5 million. The stadium would contain a 30-story-high dome and be the largest covered arena in the world, according to its sponsors.
