Evansville Is Rated Tops In Small Schools NEW YORK (UPI) — The Evansville Purple Aces, who employed. a unique "two platoon” system to extend thenrecord list of championships, today were named the No. 1 small college basketball team in the nation for the 1963-64 season by the United Press International Board of Coaches. Evansville won 21 of 24 regular season games, including triumphs over six major college foes and the first perfect 12game sweep of the Indiana Collegiate Conference schedule, to command the highest number of first place votes (30) since the UPI small college ratings were initiated seven years ago. The national title, which is accompanied by a permanent UPI trophy, is the second for Evansville, tying Tennessee State as the only teams to receive the honor more* than once. The Purple Aces also captured the 1959-60 regular season championship. Grambling, runnerup to Evansville since the Hoosier team ousted defending champion Wittenberg from the top spot 12 weeks ago, finished second with four first-place votes from the 35 coaches on the UPI rating board. Seventh-ranked Fresno State received the other No. 1 ballot. Wittenberg finished the season 12th. Completing the top 10 were Pan American (No. 3), Youngstown (No. 4), Kentucky Wesleyan (No. 5), Hofstra (No. 6), and Fresno State. Assumption and Western Carolina tied for eighth and State College of lowa finished 10th. All seven NCAA members ia the top 10 have been invited to participate in the NCAA college division regional tournaments beginning this weekend. Besides Evansville, these teams will be paired Friday: Hofstra vs. Catholic U.j Youngstown vs. Lemoine; Fresno State vs. Seattle Pacific; Assumption vs. Northeastern; Kentucky Wesleyah vs. Fisk and State College of lowa vs. llth-ranked Washington of St. Louis. Clay 1$ Involved In Huge Business Deal. NEW -YORK (UPI) —Heavyweight champion Cassius Clay is the center of negotiations today in a deal involving millions of dollars for outside-the-ring activities, a representative of the William Mortis agency disclosed. “I don’t know how rumors of this deal leaked out,” said Jerry Brandt, a Morris talent manager. ‘ It’s true, but I can only say at this time that it’s the richest deal ever negotiated for any athlete.” Without being specific, Brandt added that the deal involves a series of one-hour spectaculars on television, personal tours, product endorsements and the making of rhythm. blues records and comedy records. Clay’s modest comment was: “I’m the prettiest man in sports. And so this deal is very, very pretty — in fact it’s the greatest — because I’m the greatest.” Brandt of the agency was questioned by reporters Tuesday night in studio one of the Columbia records building, where Cassius was making a boisterous rhythm-in-blues talking and singing record titled “’Die Gang’s All Here.” Concerning his< future plans, the champion said: “My hearing at Washington has been set back indefinitely. I mean the hearing in which some of the senators wanted to know about

Many Strangers In Saturday's Regional Tilts By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Unless they had spies in some of last week’s sectionals, there'll be a lot of strangers in Saturday’s Indiana high 'school basketball tourney regionals, but that certainly is far from the truth at East Chicago. The Calumet areat tourney features three teams from the Northwest Conference — East Chicago Washington. Froebel and Tolleston of Gary— and Michigan City of the Northern loop. The key game appears to be the afternoon opener between Froebel and Michigan City and the host Senators are cast in the role of the underdog. East Chicago has been beaten by each of the three other “Sweet Sixteen’’contenders. In-' addition, Michigan City has licked Froebel and Froebel has beaten Tolleston. Elkhart Team to Beat On the basis of season records, Elkhart is the team to beat in its session, holding two victories over South Bend Central, the 1963 tourney runnerup, and one over Columbia City. It’s pretty much of a tossup at Evansville, where city hopeful Rex Mundi, a first-time sectional winner, has beaten Tell City, its afternoon rival, and Princeton and Tell City both defeated Boonville. Fort Wayne Central, probably favored in the Summit City, hasn’t met the three other regional contenders there, and the same holds tru£ at Lafayette, where the powerful Bronchos are top-heavy favorites; at Logansport,where Valparaiso ~ is the club to beat, and at Marion, where once-beaten Huntington is -expected to come through. At Kokomo, the host Wildcats nipped Noblesville, upsetter of Tipton in the sectionals, by fivepoints. They’re meeting in the second game, The pivotal game at New Castle will also be played in the afternoon, with Muncie South, a first-time sectional champ, hoping to make it two in a row over the host Trojans. Both beat Richmond during the season, and high-scoring Winchester is the darkhorse. Toss-Up At Terre Haute It’s a tossup at Terre Haute, where both Garfield of the host city and Spencer beat Martinsville. Greencastle is favored in its bailiwick and holds an 89-72 win over Crawfordsville, possibly its opponent for the regional crown. It’s pretty much open at the three other tourney sites —Huntingburg, Indianapolis and Jeffersonville. At Huntingburg, Loogootee holds a victory over North Knox, but the top threat could be Bloomfield, which plays Loogoote in the afternoon. - ~ Indianapolis Tech clashes with Anderson at Butler Fieldhouse here in one of the toq afternoon games while Howe. upsetter of Indianapolis Washington, faces Danville. After Silver Creek’s sweep through the Jeffersonville sectional, anything could happen there, despite the fact Seymour holds a 21-point victory over the Dragons. < ’ my various contracts with International -Promotions for the Liston fight at Miami Beach last month.” Yes, Cassius plans to move from Louisville, Ky., to New York “so I can be closet - to all the different businesses I’m getting into.”

Stan Musial, Branch Rickey Aid Cardinals By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer The St. Louis Cardinals have just what the doctor ordered for a spring training diagnosis leading to a healthy season — consultants Branch Rickey and Stan Musial. Rickey, former general manager of the Cardinals who set up one of the first fruitful farm chain systems in the majors, predicts St. Louis will win the National League pennant providing pitcher Ray Washburn has recovered completely . from last season’s arm injury. Musial, the nation’s new director of physical fitness, is a special instructor in camp. The greatest slugger in Cardinal history retired at the end of 1963 and left a trial of records that may take yegrs to match. Manager Johnny Keane broke the workout routine with a two-hour batting practice session Tuesday, but kept an eye on Washburn’s throwing. Washburn won his first five starts last season and then suffered a periosteal tear of the triceps muscle. Ward Suffers Injury Chicago White Sox third baseman Pete Ward was hospitalized when he suffered a back injury during infield practice. Dr. Anthony Guzauskas, the club physician, described the injury as “an acute strain,” a misery that Ward also contracted last September. Ward, in considerable pain, may be placed in traction and his length of absence could not be estimated. Second baseman Nate Oliver became the Los Angeles Dodgers’ first camp casualty with a muscle spasm in his back. The club still awaits sat-, isfied replies fopm shortstop Maury Wills and outfielder Frank Howard. Baltimore righthander Chuck Estrada appears in good shape 1 after elbow surgery performed last September and pitched to Oriole batters for 10 minutes. Southpaw ace Steve Barber,' however, limped off the field i with a hamstring muscle pull .ip his left leg. Elsewhere on the Grapefruit circuit: New York Yankee Manager Yogi Berra announced his team will play no intra-squad games prior to the official opening of the exhibition season against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday, March 14. The Minnesota Twins begin full scale workouts today, but preview slugging -was exhibited Tuesday by Harmon KiUebrew and Bernie Allen as part of a three-hour workout. Pirates Set Date Pittsburgh announced a Saturday date for the first intrasquad game . . .' Rookie righthander Dick Selma replaced Alvin Jackson for the New York Mets’ three-day jaunt to Mexico when the little lefthander’s finger that was broken last week swelled up again ... Walt Bond, Houston’s 6 foot 6, 220-pound outfielder, walloped three pitches over the fence in a slugging session .. k Tom Brown again decided to turn down a Green Bay Packer pro football offer to take another shot at the Washington Senators’ first base post . . . Pitcher Dallas Green signed his contract, leaving outfielders Johnny Callison and Tony Gonzalez as Philadelphia Phillie holdouts. In the West’s Cactus circuit, inclement weather plagued major league inhabitants. Stiff winds restricted Los Angeles Ange 1 workouts to calisthenics and running at Palm Springs. Calif.

All the members of the royal family are by his side.” The. King’s “quiet forenoon” was believed due to extensive drugging to relieve pain. The Greek press revealed the gravity of the King’s condition today for the first time under such headlines as “Only a miracle can save the King” and “The King is in danger.” The 62-year-old monarch is suffering from urinary trouble and two blood clots following a serious stomach ulcer operation. A medical bulletin issued this morning said: “His majesty the King has had a quiet enough night. This morning he had an increased amount of urine. There is a medium feverish movement.” Anti-coagulants appeared to have the blood clots fairly under control, but doctors remained extremely concerned over the 62-year-old monarch’s bladder condition. The optimistic medical bulletin came after it was reported by the palace sources that he was gradually losing strength. His wife, Queen Frederika, > remained by his bedside in his room in Tatoi Palace, 20 miles from Athens. King Paul Tuesday night an Orthodox priest, gave him benediction and prayed in his room. He also called for his two-month-old granddaughter, Helena, the child of his eldest daughter Princess Sophie and Prince Don Carlos of Spain. Informed sources said the King’s doctors considered his bladder malfunction to to the most alarming symptom.

Congo General Pledges Fight Against Reds IDIOFA, The Congo (UPI) — The young Congolese general stood amid the dharred husks of houses in this ravaged provincial town- and vqmei “We are going to defeat this Communist revolt in 15 days.” w For Gen. Joseph Mobutu, the 33-year-old commander of the Congo army, it was a promise that .will be hard to keep. Around him, the wet wind chased scorched scraps of paper from the burned and looted homes down the dirt road. Two hundred frightened refuges huddled behind in armed guard—the only inhabitants remaining in a town that once boasted 9,000 persons and the status of a major city in Congo’s Kwilu Province. 7 - Bows and Arrows In the jungle and bush around Idiofa, thousands of half-naked terrorists, armed only with bows and arrows but made brave by a combination of mari-

Both Gungu and Idiofa have withstood repeated attacks by thousands of rebels led by Peking-trained Pierre Mulele. Spurred to mindless fanaticism by marijuana, the warpainted archers have flung themselves into the line of fire of machine guns and automatic rifles, manned by the Congo army garrison. Mowed Down At Gungu, nearly 1,000 of the “invulnerable” rebels were killed. But they burned half the town. “Last week they attacked Gungu with a red flag behind a solid phalanx of archers in broad daylight,” a World Health Organization doctor at Kikwit recalled.
