Top Favorites In Final Round Os State Meet By KURT FREUDENTHAL , United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) The four finalists in Indiana’s high school basketball tourney check in with a brilliant 105-4 overall record, reralding a classy climax for the crown in Saturday’s three-game grand finale. It will be top-rated and unbeaten Columbus (27-0) against Huntington (26-1) and Lafayette (26-1) against Evansville Rex Mundi (26-2), with the survivors tangling for the crown at night. Lafayette is No. 2 in the state, Huntington No 8 and Rex Mundi’s first-time finalists were 15th in the final UPI coaches* board ratings. Although there were plenty of upsets in the first two weeks of the tourney, form prevailed in the four semi-state sessions Saturday and Columbus remained the offensive leader. Bulldogs Chew Howe The Bulldogs, who have yet to be challenged seriously, made short work of upset-minded Indianapolis Howe, 81-56, then axed South Central Conference rival Rushville, 79-62, to gain the four-team finals for the first time since 1938. Denny Brady, recovered from his knee ailment, was Lafayette’s chief gunner as the twotime state champions shot down Gary Tolleston, 95-64, and outlasted Valparaiso, 73-67, to reach the finals for the 13th time—tying the record' set by Muncie Central’s five-time state champions last year. Lafayette also was the only 1963 state tourney finalist still chasing the elusive trophy. Rex Mundi had a relatively easy time in eliminating threetime state champion Martinsville, 78-53, and Seymour, 76-53, to become the first parochial school in the payoff round. First Since 1945 Huntington made it for the first time since 1945 with a 64-58 triumph over ninth-rated Elkhart after ousting 1961 champion Kokomo, 76-61. Columbus, the statistical leader from the start, remained the most prolific quintet in tourney history with an average of 94 points in seven games. Lafayette is hitting at an 85.1 clip, Rex Mundi 70-6 and Huntington 68. Columbus also remained the front-runner in winning margins,, outdistancing its rivals by an average of 35.2 points, with Huntington second with a 21.6 margin. Huntington continued as the defensive leader, holding its foes to an average of 46.4 points. Only Rex Mundi has played as many as eight games so far and the Monarchs’ presence in the final four actually cannot be considered a major surprise, although Evansville Central was the top choice from the Southern semi-state. Newsome New Record? Rangy Jerry Newsom of Columbus will get a golden opportunity to shatter the final fourgame scoring record—provided the Pulldogs advances to the title game. He led semi-state scorers with 61 points on 25 fielders and 11 free throws. Brady was a distant second with 46 points and Mike Weaver of Huntington had 43 points. Although Columbus hopes to become . the third team to go “all the way” with a perfect reeord, Lafayette and Huntington also sport impressive winning streaks. Lafayette owns a 17-game string and Huntington has won its last 15 starts. Rex , Mqndi won 15 in a row before Evansville Central snapped the string late in the regular season. Coaches and other 1 officials of the four finalist schools meet with IHSAA Commissioner Phil Eskew today to make preparalions for the' three-game grand : finale. 3 Lafayette, Huntington and ; Rex Mundi will get a practice i. session at Butler Fieldhouse but j Columbus must pi actice else- J where since it won its two semi-state games on the floor the state finals will be g played. ®

Rookie Slams Three Homers In Pirate Win By United Press International Home run hitting may be right up a certain Pittsburgh rookie’s alley. Gene Alley of the Pittsburgh Pirates that is. Alley, a 23-year-old shortstop who poked 19 four baggers last season for Columbus, the Bucs’ International League affiliate, powered three home runs Sunday to lead his mates to a 15-7 victory over the Kansas City Athletics. Another rookie, outfielder Rex Johnston, gave added potency to Pittsburgh’s attack by blasting two home runs. The Pirates have now produced 29 runs in two exhibition games. Alley, who hit his home runs in the second fifth and eighth innings to account for five runs batted in, has smashed four circuits in two games. Inasmuch as Pittsburgh finished eighth in home runs last season with a total of 108, Manager Danny Murtaugh can’t help noticing anybody who is capable of occasionally, reaching the seats - .
Spahn Mins Indestructible Warren Spahn picked up Milwaukee’s first victory by pitching three scoreless innings in a starting role to help the Braves blank the Washington Senators, 2-0. Another indestructible institution, the New York Yankees, didn’t fare as well, bowing to the Baltimore Orioles, 10-1. The Orioles settled freshman Manager Yogi Berra’s hopes of gaining his first victory early, tallying nine runs in the second inning. Southpaw ace Steva Barber took care of New York easily, blanking the Bombers with only one hit over the first three innings to pick up the victory. In other grapefruit contests, the Cincinnati Reds launched a 17-hit attack to wallop the Chicago White Sox, 11-7, despite rookie infielder Charlie Smith s two home runs in a losing cause; the Philadelphia Phillies topped the Houston Colts, 5-2 on rookie Richie Allen s three-run four bagger: the St. Louis Cardinals .cashed in on six errors to down the New York Mets, 6-3' and the Minnesota Twins defeated the Detroit Tigers, 9-6, with six runs in the seventh inning.
Indians Down Cubs In the Cactus circuit, the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs, 4-1, es rookie righthander Gordon Syefried gained the victory in a starting assignment with five scoreless innings; the San Francisco Giants scored their seventh exhibition victory, the most in the exhibition league, by toppling the Boston Red Sox, 7-4, behind Bob Shaw’s second win; and the Los Angeles Angels edged the Cleveland “B” team, 8-7, with a two-run rally in the ninth inning. The Los Angeles Dodgers, playing their third exhibition game south of the border, sus-, tained their first defeat against combined squads of Mexico City Reds and Tigers, 8-5, in a contest called in the bottom of the eighth inning because of rain. The Mexican All-Stars effected the victory by snapping' a 4-4 tie in the seventh inning with a four-run outburst against Dick Calmust.

Paul Hornung, Alex Karras Are Reinstated NEW YORK (UPI) — Paul Hornung of the Green ’ Bay Packers and Alex Karras of the Detroit Lions, who were suspended last year for gambling, were reinstated today by Commissioner Pete Rozelle of the National Football League. Rozelle announced that the cases of the two star players had been “reviewed separately” by him and that he is satisfied they now have “a clear understanding of the seriousness of the offenses” charged against them. The two stars were suspended last April 27 after a long investigation for “specific violations” of their contracts, chiefly for betting on NFL games. Both players missed the entire 1963 season as a result of the suspensions. Hornung, a halfback, has three times been scoring, champion of the NFL, while Karras has been one of the league’s outstanding tackles. G. E. Bowlettes Win Women's Team Event The G.E.

MAN to MAN A lot of young men have their careers pretty well mapped - out by the time they en- ~ list in the Army. That way they can choose the .Army jo b training they want and —if they qualify for it-. get.the technical - knowledge they need for the job they want, either in the Army or in civilian life. But there are also a lot of young men who aren’t sure what career they want when they finish 'high school. And for them, too, the Army has an enlistment option that’s pretty hard to beat. It’s called R AU—Regular Army Unassigned. When a man enlists for RAU, the Army takes all kinds of information about his education, his aptitudes, and his own desires. This wealth of information is carefully studied and processed. Then that man is given the Army training and job which are best for him, within the established Army requirements. In other words, the Army makes every possible effort to get the right man in the right job. Tliat’s because putting the right man in the right job is best for the man himself, best for the Army, and best for the country. —Your Army Recruiter

NCAA Tourney Finals Slated Saturday Night By GARY KALE UPI Sports Writer UCLA hopes to sign it “30” as an end to a perfect season at the NCAA basketball tournament climax in Kansas City this weekend. The Bruins, having elimated San Francisco, 76-72, in the Far West regionals last Saturday, enter the cruicial phase of the 1964 games with a 28-0 record. They play Kansas State in the national semifinals Friday night and if successful move to the title round against the winner of the Michigan-Duke game on Saturday. If UCLA wins the championship, it will finish ttje campaign with a 30-0 record. Kansas State captured the Midwest regionals with a 94-86 win over Wichita at Wichita, Kan.; Duke demolished Connecticut, 101-54, in the Eastern finals at Raleigh, N.C., and Michigan stopped Ohio University, 69-57, in the Mideast final at Minneapolis. NZU Advances In the National Invitation Tournament at New York, New York University advanced to the semifinal round with a surprise 79-66 win over top-seeded DePaul and Bradley joined the Violets in this bracket by edging St. Joseph’s (Pa.) 83-81. Ad* vancing to the quarter-finals were Army with a 64-62 squeak-i er over St. Bonaventure and Drake with an 87-82 triumph over Pittsburgh. Rockhurst College of Kansas City stunned defending champion Pan American (Tex.), 66-56, to win the NAIA tournament. The NCAA semifinal at Kansas City is an ail-round grudge gambit. UCLA defeated Kansas State earlier this season and Michigan took the measure of Duke in a previous encounter when the Blue Devils were experimenting with defensive systems. \ All American 1 Walt Hazzard and Gail Goodrich, UCLA’s brilliant backcourt tandem, proved too much for San Francisco, -which handed the Bruins their last defeat in an NCAA consolation round last year. Hazzard scored 25 points, 14 in the second half to help eraseSan Francisco’s 36-28 halftime lead and end the Dons’ 19-game winning streak. Stop Wichita Kansas State used an effective 1-3-1 defensive zone that stopped everyone but All America Dave Stallworth, who registered 37 points for Wichita. Willie Murrell led a balanced Wildcat attack with 28 points. Four teammates scored in double figures as Kansas State won its 13th straight game this season. Duke moved into the semifinals for the second consecutive year. Jeff Mullins tallied 30 points against Connecticut, which had previously upset Temple and Princeton. The Blue Devils, hoping to better their third place finish in the 1963 tourney, rapped out a 62-27 halftime lead tnat ended Connecticut’s chances of advancement. Cazzie Russell refused to be stopped by an injured ankle and went out to score 25 points for Michigan. Bill Buntin added 15 points for the Wolverines to help halt Ohio University’s dream of a title, especially after the Bobcats had upset Kentucky last Friday night. In regional consolation games; East - Villanova defeated Princeton, 74-62; Mideast —Loyola of Chicago beat Kentucky, 100-91: Midwest — Texas Western downed Creighton, 6352; West — Seattle trounced Utah State, 88-78.

Alston Thinks Dodgers Will Be Improved By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor VERO BEACH, Fla. (UPD—TTiose who don’t see how the world champion Los Angeles Dodgers could possibly be any better, are cordially invited to come out and take a look for themselves. The Dodgers approached baseball perfection when they swept the mighty New York Yankees four straight games last October. It was difficult then to conceive how the Dodgers could do any better. Manager Walt Alston honestly thinks they "an — because “we still have tne pitching and should have more power.” The pitching Alston talks about merely happens to be the best in baseball. It may not be deep but it’s gilt-edged up front. That added power he mentions could come from big Frank Howard — if he’s available—and fleet Willie Davis. Hoping For Howard Alston’ power hopes, of course, hinge on the hope that Howard will change his mind and decide to piay this year. And Howard’s latest word is it would be “virtually impossible” for him to play. If those two whack the ball with the added authority Alston envisions and Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Johnny Podres and Ron Perranosxi keep firing the ball in the same style they did last year, the Dodgers could become the first Club to win National League pennants back to back since the Milwaukee Braves did in 1957 and 1958. They say pitching is at least 75 per cent of the game. The Dodgers have it in spades. There’s Koufax, who seems well on his way to becoming one of the best of all time. He won 25 games last season while losing but five and set down the Yankees twice in the World Series. There’s big Drvsdale, a 19game winner, whose wicked sidearm curve ball handcuffed the Yankees on a three-hitter, 1-0, for the most. glittering performance in last October’s series. - There’s Podres, who won only 14 games, but all of them big ones. There’s Perranoski, who won 16 games and saved 19, to become the game’s outstanding relief pitcher. Teams With Perranoski There’s Bob MiUer, who won 10 games but who teamed up with Perranoski in the latter half of the season to become an outstanding bullpen man. If Howard plays Alston has a settled outfield with Willie Davis in center, Tommy Davis (no relation) in left and Howard in right. Tommy Davis won the league’s batting championship last year for the second season in a row. Willie Davis is probably the fastest man in baseball and Howard can swing a- bat with the mighty. “Some day,” predicts Alston, “Howard is going to out-homer them all.” Catching is a settled spot with John Roseboro the No. 1 man and Doug Camilli behind him. Jeff Thorborg, one of four rookies the Dodgers’ must keep on their roster this year, may stick as the No. three catcher. Alston says he won’t decide on his infield until opening day. But you can bet it will be Ron Fairly at first if he’s not needed in right field, Jim Gilliam at second, speedy Maury Wills at short and Ken McMullen at third. If they don’t make it—and don’t bet against it—there are a lot of other candidates. So, all in all, you can see why the Dodgers look good—maybe too good for the rest of the league.
