■mV — Phil N. Eskew gave a good run-down of the reasons for forming the IHSAA, his philosophy in running it, and his feelings on how all spectators can help, rather than hinder, their own athletes, from his own experience, while speaking to the “D” Club banquet of 350 Friday night. As a parent, Eskew pointed out, he felt that his job was to see that his son was in good shape mentally and physically for every game, and it was the coaches job to plan to the game strategy; never try to second-guess or coach from the bleachers, or criticise the boys playing, was Eskew’s advice after 35 years of experience. He explained how he had learned this through his own family, when his son, under heavy pressure in a big game, bobbled a kickoff, and allowed the opposite team members to score a touchdown. Boos from the crowd nearly tore his son’s mind apart, and kept him “down” for two weeks, until it just happened that AllAmerican Tommy Harmon happened to do exactly the same thing'in a big game — and showed him that even the best do it. It’s very easy, while sitting in the “nosweat” bleacher seats, to tell those “on the field” how they should have played it. It’s also very easy to rum your team’s chances by putting them in poor mental attitude. Let the coach do the directing, and sit back to enjoy the game, Eskew recommends. It’s always easy to tell someone elso how to run his job, but it is much more difficult to pitch inland help. Those who can, do — those who can’t, complain “No-sweat coaches” are one of life’s little problems in every field, from athletics to writing editorials! Editorial written by Dick Heller

Annual D-Club Banquet Is Held Friday Evening; Awards Are Presented

Greg Ladd was named most valuable basketball player and Alan Kalver and Sam Baumann co-most valuable wrestlers, by the Decatur high school Booster club at the annual D-Club banquet Friday evening, attended by nearly 350 members, wives, dates, and athletic fans from this area. Several other awards were made during the evening, and Phil N. Eskew, commissioner of the Indiana high school athletic association, concluded the program by using much delightful humor to depict some of the background and working of the I.H.S.A.A. t Fred Isch, president of the Booster club, made the presentation of the awards. Ladd received his trophy for not only his selection as most valuable of the basketball squad, but for garnering the most rebounds during the season. Kalver and Baumann, seniors like Ladd, were chosen as co-win-ners of the most valuable award in wrestling, the second year the trophy was given Mark Corral won the award last year. Baumann’s trophy was slightly larger, as he had won the most matches by pins during the recently-concluded season. Other Awards Several other awards were presented during the banquet, including a plaque to sophomore basketball player Sam Blythe for the best free throw percentage during the season. Arthur Ybarra, a sophomore, was presented with a cup in recognition of his becoming the school’s first sectional wrestling champion in the meet at Marion last February. The Booster club also awarded small plaques to each of the 11 lettermen, student manager Eric Kelly and coach Giessler of the wrestling team, in recongition of their outsanding season. Each plaque had the individual’s name and the 10-3 season record engraved. Dailey Recognised Harry Dailey, veteran teacher and golf team coach, was given a beautiful plaque by the club in recognition of his “outstanding work as a coach, teacher and friend,” which was part of the inscription. After the club’s awards were presented, the four senior members of the wrestling squad, Kalver, Baumann, Deane Lehman and Steve Hazelwood, gave a huge plaque to their coach, Gary Giessler. The four young men had worked with Giessler since he started wrestling in Decatur three years ago and presented him with the plaque as a token of their appreciation. Greg Ladd, president of the DClub, the school’s letterman organization, presented an' athletic blanket to Isch. Ladd had spoken on behalf of the D-Club in welcoming everyone and thanking the club, the many fans and the parents. Teams Introduced Each of the high school coaches was introduced by athletic director Bob Worthman, emcee of the banquet, and they in turn introduced the members of their various teams. Bill McColly introduced lettermen of the basketball, baseball and cross-country teams; Giessler, the wrestling team; Wally Yeoman, the football and track teams; Daily, the golf squad; John Butler, rifle team. McColly, in introducing his let-

termen, gave special thanks to Larry Lehman, a student manager for McColly all four years he was in high school. McColly told the crowd there was no doubt that Lehman was "allNEIC.” Assistant coaches Jerry Mitchel, Steve Brandenburg and Charles Abel were also introduced by Worthman. Worthman also thanked the junior high coaches, Tony San Francisco Evens Series With Hawks SAN FRANCISCO (UPD— Thanks to what Coach Alex Hannum termed a 'bust out night,” it’s a brand new series today between his San Francisco WaTiors and the St. Louis Hawks for the NBA's Western Division playoff title. “We needed a bust out night after the pressure that built up following Wednesday’s loss to St. Louis and we sure got one,” Hannum said after the Warriors had demolished the Hawks, 120-85, last night. “No team ever has played a better defensive game in this league than ours.” Deadlocked with one win apiece, the clubs now move to St. Louis for resumpiton of their best of seven series Sunday and Wednesday. Then they return to San Francisco for a Friday game. The survivor meets the Eastern Division champs for the NBA title. Action in that playoff resumes Sunday at Cincinnati where the Boston Celtics go after their third win in as many games against the Royals. The Warriors, who bowed to St. Louis at USF gym on Wednesday while blowing a 20point lead, ran the Midwesterners to distraction on the Cow Palace hardwood the . second time around. * Bob Pettit, who averages around 27 points per game for St. Louis, came out of this one with 14 while fellow gunner Cliff Hagan only accounted for six more. Wilt Chamberlain of the Warriors paced all the scorers with 28 points but their real hero was Guy Rodgers. The wheelerdealer guard triggered a destructive fast break and also poured in ?1 points of his own. Pro Basketball NBA Playoff San Francisco 120, St. Louis 85 (Best of seven series tied, 11).

Kelly and Stu Schnepf, the fifth and sixth grade coaches, the varsity and reserve team cheerleaders, and the local newspaper. Mendenhall Present Also introduced to the huge crowd were honored guest Murray Mendenhall, well-known veteran bosketball coach, the North Adams school board, superintendent Gail M. Grabill and principal Hugh J. Andrews. Worthman thanked Mrs. Bonnie Worthman for the fine job of decorating, and Richard Collins and his school dance band for providing dinner music. Mrs. Worthman had some very beautiful decorations, including place mats which had pictures of some of the school’s athletic teams and cheerleaders. Mannequins in front of the head table were dressed in the uniforms of the various sports in the school’s athletic system. Preceding the awards, six young women and four young men, all D. H. S. students, under the direction of Miss Helen Haubold, presented two vocal selctions, ‘‘lf I Had A Hammer,” and “When the Saints Come Marching Home.” Rev. Richard Ludwig, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church in Decatur, gave the invocation. After the introduction of the athletic letter winners on the several teams, Isch introduced the Booster club’s new officers: Dick Reidenbach, president; Dick Linn, vice president; Herb Banning, Jr., secretary; Dave Wynn, Treasurer; Gerald Strickler and John Isch, directors. The new officers will take office July 1. Balloting was held for the one directorship that was open, and Bob Shraluka of the Decatur Daily Democrat was elected by the club members to the post. Reidenbach, the incoming president, spoke briefly, outlining the two main objectives of the organization. Humorous Eskew Eskew, the head of high school athletics in this state, proved to be not only a good speaker, but a man with much humor. After explaining Jiis wife wasn’t able to attend, but why she does travel with him most of 'the time, the I.H.S.A.A. commissioner related, with many interjections of humor, how the athletic association got its start. He also detailed how the organization is made up. Principals of the member schools elect five representatives from each of the five districts, and th 25 chosen men then select the board- of control, which in turn names the commissioner. The board of control makes the rules, the commissioner sees that they are followed and upheld. Eskew explained how expenses for the organization, which sponsors 11 different sports, are gained, and some of the rules and regulations of the commission. At present, an athlete must be passing in three “solid” subjects to be eligible. He praised the mothers of the boys “who are a tremendous influence on them,” and criticized the “never-sweats” who are continually criticizing the coaches. In concluding, Eskew said of the 1.H.5.A.A., ‘We are going to keep it on a high level as long as I am commissioner.”

Experiments By Rigney Feature Angels' Camp (EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the 18th of 20 dispatches on the 1964 prospects of major league baseball teams). By SCOTT BAILLIE VPI Sports Writer PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (UPI) —Look for the Los Angeles Angels to turn Chavez Ravine into an open-air laboratory this season while hunting the formula for escaping ninth place. After amazing the baseball world with a third-pla'Ce finish in 1962, Bill Rigney’s young club fell all the way down to the next to last spot in the American League last year. But it only was their third operation and so the experiments are in full swing. To date, the first one is a fiz-

zle. This called for sending the veteran Billy Moran from second to third base antF turning the middle bag over to rookie Bobby Knoop. Hie latter is a sharp fielder and considerably faster than the 30-year-old Moran. Gets Sore Arm But Billy came up with such a sore arm making the long throw over to first that he recently has had trouble even flipping the ball back to the mound during batting practice. So Rigney is thinking of installing Knoop at third and restoring Moran to second. Last year’s regular third sacker, Felix Torres, refused to sign after being put on the Hawaii roster and is somewhere in Puerto Rico. Rigney feels that he would have a strong club down the middle if Knoop stayed at second base. He and star shortstop

Jim Fregosi have been impressive. Then there ij Albie Pearson, the fleet “mighty mouse,” in center and take-charge guy Bob Rodgers is slated to do most of the catching after being laid up twice last year with a broken finger and sprained ankle. Another experiment is on in left field, where rookies Ed Kirkpatrick and Dick Simpson are getting the first shots at the vacancy created when Leon Wagner was traded to Cleveland. In the wings is the veteran Jim Piersail, currently not on the roster, who could solve the problem there. Lose Hefty Hitter Wagner took a .291 batting average to Cleveland. He also hit 26 homers from the left side of the plate although he had his batting and fielding woes in Chavez.
