Oscar Closes on 'Mr. Basketball of World' Laurels
City Grid Race Wide0pen-for2d By CHARLES S. PRESTON Judging from the "taste" we got at last week's Jamboree, there will be a battle-royal tor second place in the city's football
standings this fall.
First place probably should be conceded to a team that wasn't there. Cathedral. The Irish might get a paper argument from Wood, which has a city schedule of Scecina, Sacred Heart,
Attacks and Manual.
But the Chucks, who begin Saturday night against Scecina at CYO Field, will have to show something besides speedy
Dick Davis.
The only team that looks out of it is Attucks. Coach Graham Martin just do»?sn’t have a turnout to play with tlie other city schools if the Jamboree gave us a fair sampling. And the Tigers run smack into the cement-mixer when they open against Cathedral on Friday night, Sept. 9, at CYO. OTHERWISE, SHORT RIDGE showed better than expected, with its new coach Tom Rosenberger and single-wing offense; Tech, not quite up to advance notices, displayed the night’s power running by fullback Ron Barlow; and Broad Ripple, Washington, Manual, Howe and Wood all served notice of their potentials. Incidentally. all-Negro baekfields operated for Wood, Shortridge and Tech (the Greenclads on defense) as well as Attucks. Shortridge opens its season at home Friday, Sept. 9, against state power Richmond. And the Blue Devils won’t be as badly outclassed as feared, to judge from their Jamboree showing. Halfback Elbert Cheatum is the Satans’ ace ball-carrier. But it was a pair of long aerial strikes that gave the 7,000 spectators their first 1960 football thrill and sprang the Northsido into a short-lived lead over ihe Southside. QUARTERBACK WADE STEWART uncorked the first one, a 36yard rocket to halfback DeWitt King that put the Rosenburgers just into Howe’s territory. Four plays later, Stewart pitched back to Cheatum, who threw 30 yards to end Ken Warren who was ahead of his defenders on the Howe 15. Warren carried it over for the touchdown and Cheatum kicked the point, marking the start u£ a new era in Shortridg*. , football. Under previous coach George Gale, the Blue Devils dispensed with the art of place-
kicking.
Kirby Wiliams at fullback rounded out the Shortridge backfield. Others noted wore Sam Brown on defense, Charles Whitney at defensive quarterback. Ed Williams, Howard Maxey, and Nos. 47 and 48. <As usual, the program hadn’t caught up with the numbers. End Claude Hardin played for Howe but we missed seeing halfback Mansfield Lambirth IN THE SECOND QUARTER Manual evened things for the Southsidtrs by taking advantage of a break. A fumble by Tech’s Barlow gave the ball to the Redskins on the 4-yard stripe. Two plays later Bill Bush plunged it over
and Ron Cooper ran the extra point. Barlow took the ensuing kickoff hard and fast up the middle for 29 'aids in the best run of the first half. Gains of 13 (nullified) and 12 yards also were racked up by the 200-pounder, who runs like a fast freight. If he could learn to shift in the open field, he’d be a terror. The Greenclads’ big line didn’t measure up, but still Wally Potter’s charges must be favored over Howe when they meet Friday, Sept. 9, at Tech Field. Halfback MacKenzie Brown made a great downfield tackle and the other half, Donald Woods, ran nicely. Larry Wellington at quarterback rounded out Tech's all-tan defensive backfield. Other Greenclads noted were tackle David Barnes, Robert Jones. Harry Campbell. Maurice Bames, Darnal Johnson and No. 83. IN THE THIRD QUARTER Attucks unveiled a smooth jump pass from quarterback Jesse Brooks to right end James Coe. Guard Giles Fartee showed up well on defense and blocked a kick. But the Tigers couldn’t hold Washington fullback Bob Deeper, who zigged through the line and zagged through the secondary for a 66-yard touchdown ramble that gave the South a 13-7 lead. Pas-es from Joseph Purichia to Tom Jenkins featured another Continental drive that carried to the Attucks 6-yard line, putting Ripple in a hole for the start of the final period. Besides Jenkins, tan performers for Washington were Billy Hattiex, Malcolm Marlow, Thurman Jenkins and Frank Starkey. Seeing action for Attucks were Charles Smith, Stephen White, Richard Allen, J. Sawyer, Bennie Parker, Steven Jones, Allen Bridgeforth, Wesley Brooks, Joe Hardrick, Isadore Robinson, Robert Jackson land No. 78, besides those already mentioned. WOOD SCORED WITH the greatest of ease to start the final stanza. Willie Smith hit the line for 4 and then Davis sped around right end for the TD. On the try-for-point, Ripple was so badly faked that Davis just loped around left end. But the Chucks’ line weakness told as 207-pound fullback Frank McGrone couldn’t get into the secondary often eritmgh for Wood to score again. McGrone. incidentally, (Continued on Page 13)

'Hungry Cassius' Leads. Boxers to 3 Gold Medals
ROME—“Yon Cassius hath a lean and hungry look. Let no such man be trusted,” said Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar apprehensively. Eighteen-year-old Cassius Marcellus Clay, stringbean schoolboy from Louisville, justified Caesar’s misgivings Monday as he fought “hungry” to lead the U.S. Olympic boxing team to three gold medals. The 178-pound Golden Gloves champion battered Zbigniew Pietrzkowski of Poland to a fare-you-well in the light-heavyweight finals, to climax a string of brilliant victories. The southpaw Clay is called “the coming Floyd Patterson,” as fans remember Patterson’s springing to fame in the 1952 Olympics at Helsinki. Clay might be even better than Patterson was at the comparative stage. Actually, the slick boxer’s name goes back to a fiery antislavery statesman in Kentucky before the Civil War. The original Cassius Marcellus Clay was almost nominated for Vice-Presi-dent as Abraham Lincoln’s run-ning-mate. THE LIGHT-MIDDLEWEIGHT gold medal was won by Wilbert McClure, two-time Golden Gloves chamnion from Toledo. A studious youth who wants to be a teacher rather than a orofessional fighter, McClure is a polished craftsman in the ring who can turn killer if the occasion warrants. He had to do just that in his final bout with Italy’s Carmelo Bossi. After seeming to be behind for two rounds, McClure came out swinging in the 3rd and battered Bossi from pillar to post /with a two-fisted attack. AMERICA’S THIRD GOLD medalist was Eddie Crook of Fort Campbell, Ky., who took the middleweight crown with a decision over Tadeusz Walasek of Poland. — REGISTER TO VOTE — JoAnn Terry to Teach at 43,44 ROME — JoAnn Terry, who graduated from Indianapolis Attucks in the same class as Oscar Robertson, was eliminated from the Olympic 80-meter hurdles as she finished 4th in a trial heat Miss Terry will teach physical education at Schools 43 and 44 when she returns to Indianapolis. As a youngster she became interested in track through the Indianapolis Public Parks program. She credits Attucks Football Coach Graham Martin with encouraging her to continue her track career in college. Martin obtained a scholarship for her at Tennessee A. 6c I. — REGISTER TO VOTE — MAYER CHAPEL BOXERS TO HOST CINCINNATI One of the best amateur boxing cards to hit the city in many moons is predicted when a Cincinnati team invades Mayer Chapel on Sept. 24 at 7;30 p m Cincinnati reportedly will bring several boxers of the Ohio AAU team that won the National AAU championship last spring. As for Mayer Chapel, Coach AI Allen is already claiming equal rating with Louisville as the No. 3 amateur team in the nation, on the basis of a draw TV card with the Louisville Recreation Department team Saturday. The assertive Mayer manager, in fact, contends he would have come home with a 2-1 victory if his captain, welterweight Leonard Kelly, had been allowed to enter the ring. But the show was stopped in order that Olympic films of Louisville’s Cassius Clay might be aired. IN ADDITION. ALLEN is hoofing up nis Mayer team to give Cincinnati a hot welcome by the inclusion of Ronnie Pettus and Eugene Dawson of South Bend. Pettus was the Eastern Olympic runner-up in the heavyweight division, while Dawson was a semifinalist in the featherweight. Local boys on the team will in(Continued on Page 13) Places 16th in Hole-in-One Meet Herb Jones, 1136 E. 17th, placed 16th in the State Hole-in-One Golf Tournament sponsored recently by The Indianapolis Star at South Grove folf course.

Big 0 Paces Scoring as Yanks Play in Finals ROME — Heading for the title "Mr. Basketball of the World," Oscar Robertson paced the U. S. Olympic basketball team as it carried its perfect record into the final round of
play which began here Wednesday.
America's highest and most consistent scorer, the famed "Big O" from Indianapolis had tallied an even 100 points in the first six games. Jerry West of West Virginia was second with 88 and Jerry Lucas of Ohio State third with 85. And _this despite the fact Oscar sia’s Korneev squared away. A

CaHtoun's Wife Given Trip By Gary to See Him Win
ROME—Inspired by the presence of his wife, who was given a trip to the Olympics by the city of Gary, Ind , Lee Calhoun on Monday won a gold medal as he successfully defended his championship in the 110-meter hurdles. The former Gary Roosevelt and North Carolina College ace beat out Willie May of Chicago, ex-Indiana University stick man, in a photo finish. The time was 13.8 seconds. Hayes Jones of Pontiac, Mich., also a tan fturdler, nipped Germany’s highly-touted Martin Lauer for 3rd place, giving TT S. Negio athletes a sweep in the event. ONE OF THE proudest of the 100,000 spectators in Olympic Stadium was Lee’s wife, Mrs Gwendolyn Calhoun, a native of Southern Pines, Ind. Gary city officials voted funds for Mrs Calhoun’s trip “in appreciation” of Lee’s contributions to the city’s youth recreation program. Calhoun has worked in youth programs in Gary since his graduation from North Carolina College, where he first rose to prominence as' a track star. While in high
school, he finished only 5th in the 1951 state track meet at Indianapolis. While winning the gold medal, Calhoun failed to break either his Olympic record of :15.5 set at Melbourne, Australia, in 1956, or the world record of :13.2 held by Lauer. He had tied Lauer’s mark in a pre-Olympic meet in Switzerland. Lee had predicted he would break the record “if the weather is around 79 or 80 degrees, and there’s no humidity and no wind.” — REGISTER TO VOTE —

WINTERGREEN FiAVORED CHEWING TOBACCO it's always fresh... •very handy pocket can is dated!
By BILL BROWER CHICAGO (ANP) — This should be another great year for tan players in the National Football League. Numerically, their representation probably will be the greatest ever. The Cleveland Browns and New York Giants, loaded with our boys, again will be-co-favorites in the Eastern Division. The Browns will rely greatly on the pulverizing running of Jimmy Brown, undoubtedly the most devastating runner in the history of the game. Brown hasn’t missed a game in defensive end, Williams was
thre.2 years. In that time he has carried tlv? ball for 747 rushing attempts, gaining 3,798 yards. He has scored 42 touchdowns against the most concentrated defense ever contrived against a single ballcarrier. Brown again will receive support from Bobby Mitchell, the former Illinois star. Mitchell is an elusive rtftiner and a threat to go all the way whenever ho carries. Bidding for spots on the team are Prentice Gautt, the former Oklahoma star; Wilmer Fowler, speedster from Northwestern, and Jamie Caleb, Grumbling captain last year. Caleb is a swift runner, and Gautt is expected to offer some power running inside. Other newcomers to the Browns include Jim Marshall, former Ohio State tackle, who looks lik.3 a cinch at defensive end; A. D. Williams, an offensive end; and John Cash, former Allen University star, another

Clowns Win Shelbyville MeetOn Two 3-Hitters SHELBYVILLE —On a pair of 3-hitters pitched bv Ray Washington and Henry Gooch, the West Indianapolis Clowns won the Shelbyville Softball Tournament for the second straight year here Monday In their first game the Clowns got 8 hits and committecf one error as they defeated the Cincinnati All-Stars 5-1. Washington struck out 10. Shelbyville downed the Bethel A. C. Cubs 9-1 to reach the championship game. Gooch then fanned 12 as the Clowns shut out Shelbyville 3-0 in a pitchers’ duel. Don Asher, the Shelbyville hurler, allowed only 4 eofeties. The Clowns scored all their runs in a 5th-inning rally. — REGISTER TO VOTE —
obtained in a trade with the Green Bay Packers for Willie Davis, the former Grambling performer. THE GIANTS HAVE such reliable standbys on the line as Roose.velt Brown, the greatest offensive tackle in the game, and Roosevelt Grier, a tower of strength as a defensive tackle. Ellison Kelly, former Michigan star, figures to see more action this year at defensive guard. Proverb Jacobs, former Philadelphia Eagles star, may stick. Mel Triplett, the, veteran fullback, has been bothered by torn ligaments but is expected to be ready when the season opens. One of the most taltoed-about new members of the Giants is Don Guinyard. former Bishop College star. The 22-year-old halfback wasn’t even a draft choice, but wrote in to ask for his chance. With his speed (he runs the 100-yard dash in :09.6), he is trying to make the best of the opportunity. THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS have added running power to a well-oiled passing attack by acquiring John Henry Johnson from the Detroit Lions. The veteran fullback will help make the Steelers a dark horse in the division race. Holdovers include offensive guard John Nisby, one of the best; Jack McClairen, offensive end and passcatcher deluxe; Tom Barnett from Purdue, a second-year halfback; and Joe Lewis, hefty defensive tackle. THE PHILADELPHIA team is counting on a good j*ear from Clarence Peaks, the ex-Michigan State star, and Art Powell, who had such a fine freshman season. THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS, nee Chicago Cardinals, have veterans Woodley Lewis, all-around handyman, at offensive right end; Luke Owens, defensive end; Ted Day. newcomer from North Carolina A. & T., offensive guard; Dick Lane and Jimmy Hill, veteran defensive backfield men. — REGISTER TO VOTE —
