Texas Aggies Near To Title For New Coach By United Press International Shelby Metcalf has always produced a winner although he can’t claim to be undefeated like another young man in today’s news. When the 33-year-old Metcalf applied for the job as head coach of basketball at Texas A&M last spring he boasted that he had never been associated with a ■ team with a losing record either as a player or a coach. Now it appears Metcalf is on the threshold of making the Aggies sole champions of the Southwestern Conference for the first time in 41 years. A&M boosted their loop mark to 10-1 Tuesday night with an 82-70 triumph over Texas Tech for a two-game lead over Tech with three league games remaining. Automatic admission to the NCAA tournament goes with the title. Overall, Texas is 15-6. Senior Bennie Lenox was the leading point-producer for the winners with 21 points, 15 of them in the final half. Notre Dame, in the midst of one of its poorest seasons, upset the nation’s top-ranked small college team, Evansville, 91-75. Western Kentucky damaged LaSalle’s hopes for a tournament bid with a 107-95 surprise. The Hilltoppers led all the way in gaining their fifth victory in 18 games. Boston College Coach Bob Cousy tried for the second time this year to defeat his alma mater Holy Cross and tor the second time he was the one to take the loss, this time, 88-84. Elsewhere: Duke avenged an upset defeat at the hands of Wake Forest last week with an easy 98-83 victory at Durham: St. John’s blasted open a tight contest and stopped Massachusetts, 81-67; Syracuse, edged Cornell, 89-85; Baylor beat TCU 87-76; Georgetown (D.C.) nipped Maryland, 81-78, , and Texas crushed Rice, 93-83. Under Influence Charge Dismissed INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Tom Masters, who transferred from Southport to Lebanon, was eligible today as action began in the Indiana high school basketball tourney. The IHSAA board of control voted unanimously Tuesday to approve his eligiblity and held that there was no undue influence in his transfer to Lebanon. Pro Basketball St. Louis 115, Philadelphia 107.

Pension Plan For Pro Net Players NEW YORK (UPD — A pension plan originally proposed to National Basketball Association players three years ago, will be activated with the start of the 1964-65 season. NBA players had threatened to strike prior to the All-Star game in Boston last month unless the owners and the league agreed to initiate a pension plan. 71 Teams To Be Eliminated In Play Today By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — A field of 597, minus defending champion Muncie Central, began the chase for the elusive Indiana high school basketbal crown today, with three bonafide contenders and half a dozen others the teams to beat. There was no clear-cut favorite as the first 71 hopefuls were to be bounced from the pack in first-day action. Most of the top teams will not flex their muscles until Thursday. Unbeaten Columbus, and Lafayette and Gary Roosevelt, both beaten but once all year, were installed as top favorites and successors to the throne not being defended by Muncie Central, the IHSAA outcast. Muncie, which last March bagged a record fifth state title, was handed a one-year suspension recently for misconduct—the first time in its colorful history that the Hoosier Madness started without a defending champ. 10 Afternoon Contggte Ten afternoon games got the 54th annual four-week grind off to a start and another 61 scraps were slated for tonight. Thursday’s schedule called for 140 games, Friday's for 130 and the usual 192 contests Saturday will whittle the field to the 64 sectional winners. Twenty-game winner Columbus, Hoping to become the third team to go all the way with a perfect record, won’t make its tourney debut until Friday night against South Central Conference rival Shelbyville, a team it trounced 85-43 last December. Oddly enough, Lafayette and Gary’s Panthers can also loaf until Friday night. But Anderson and Elkhart, among the strong darkhorses, will get their tourney baptism tonight. Sixth - rated Anderson "meets Frankton and Elkhart, No. 9 and the Northern Conference champ, tangles with league rival Goshen, the defending sectional titlist at Elkhart. At least nine defending firstround winners see action today, among them East Chicago Washington and Crawfordsville, the first state champ in 1911. No Serious Challenges Others include Williamsport at Covington, Martinsville, Berne at Adams Central, Evansville Bosse, Columbia City at Warsaw and Danville at Brownsburg. Lafayette, a final four competitor last year, and Columbus were not expected to be challenged seriously until the third round, the semi-state March 14, but Terre Haute Garfield and South Bend Central may have to “sweat” to come through. Garfield, surprise finalist from the Southern semi-state a year ago, was expected to have trou“Ele * surviving^" its own sectiondlr“ The same could happeh to South Bend’s runnersup to Muncie for the crown in 1963. - Twenty-six sectional sites will be in action today and the 38 others will join the fun Thursday. San Pierre and Selma, the only other unbeatens, open their tourney bids Thursday, at Knox and Muncie, respectively. Both are 21-game winners and both face heavy odds in the first round.

Cassius Clay Wins Title As Liston Injured MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UPD —Tuesday night was the night that was for Cassius Clay. He became heavyweight boxing champion of the world — just like he said he would. He didn’t do it so much with his fists, or his fast talk for which he is noted, but with an “injury” to his opponent, Charles (Sonny) Liston. Liston, the first ex-convict ever to hold boxing’s greatest crown, called it quits after the sixth round because he no longer could lift his left arm. Liston said he hurt it after the bell sounded ending the first round in one of boxing’s greatest upsets. Neither fighter apparently heard the bell and both continued throwing punches. Liston tried to ward off a Clay punch at the same time trying to throw a blow of his own. There was a pain in his left shoulder and Liston said it grew worse as the fight progressed. Examination Indicates: Injury A team of eight doctors said Tuesday night at St. Francis Hospital where Liston went immediately after the bout that Sonny had suffered injury to the shoulder sufficient to justify terminating the bout. But the Miami Beach Boxing Commission asked for proof of the pudding. It ordered Liston’s purse withheld until it satisfied itself that Liston’s injury claim was legitimate. There were a lot of eyebrows raised when the bell signalling the start of round seven sounded. Clay stood up in his corner, lifting his arms aloft, as though he were champion. Liston sat on the stool in his corner, surrounded by his handlers. Referee Barney Felix went over to his corner to find out what was wrong. Jack Niton, one of Liston’s managers, said his boxer could not continue because he was hurt. So it went down in the records as a seventh-round technical knockout victory for the 22-year-old Lip from Louisville. Breaking Developments Immediately, there were some suspicions voiced. Then in rapid succession came: —Clay shouting in his dressing room, “you hypocrites (Meaning boxing- writers) can’t say it was a fix.” —Cal Gardner, vice chairman of the Miami Beach Boxing Commission, announced that Liston's purse was being withheld until two orthopedic surgeons could examine Liston’s shoulder to determine whether his withdrawal from the fight was justified. —The Miami Beach City Council said it was considering whether an investigation was in order. —lt was revealed that International Continental Promoters, Inc., of which Liston is part owner, had a contract with Clay to stage his next fight undet its promotion. It gave Clay $50,000 for that commitment. Niton, who took Liston to the hospital righ< after the fight, exploded when he was informed that Liston’s purse was being withheld and demanded that the orthopedic surgeons desired by the Miami Beach Boxing Commission examine Liston immediately. Loss of Feeling One, Dr. Lester Russin, went to the hospital and examined Liston. The other surgeon was expected later. Liston’s personal physician, -Dr'^‘Robert'“'C— Bennett, examined the ex-champion in his dressing room right after the fight and said Liston had no feeling from his neck to his left elbow. Asked why Liston’s purse was ordered withheld, Morris TKlein, chairman of the Miami Beach Athletic Commission said “We just want to make sure everything ■ was all right.” At the weigh-in Tuesday, Klein had fined Clay $2,500 for causing a disturbance when Clay refused to shut up. ~ ~—■—————————
