Tennis, Baseball Tilts Scheduled Small college all-American Dennis Bennema is an odds-on-choice to blast his way through to the singles championship of DePauw University's five-team tennis tourney that opens tomorrow at Blackstock Sta-

dium.

Number one man on Wheaton College's team, which carries an impressive 14-9 record, Bennema owns a 19-4 mark in number one singles this year. The invitational tourney, starting at 1 p.m., will include varsity netters from Valparaiso, | Wabash. St. Joseph's, Wheaton and DePauw. Contrary to the format of last week’s conference affair won here by DePauw, tomorrow's meet will follow NCAA tourney patterns. One champion will be crowned for all singles competition and one doubles team will emerge from doubles corncompetition. Each school has entered four men in the singles tournament and two doubles teams. Baseball action on the home front tomorrow will send DePauw's fourth place conference entry against Butler at 1 p.m. Bumped from ICC title contention last week at Indiana State, the Tigers need both games. Two wins elevate them as high as second in the ICC. and two defeats could drop them as low as sixth—next to last. Butler enters the season-end-ing twinbill with a 4-6 loop record. DePauw is 4-4. The stakes will be high tomorrow at Terre Haute where DePauw’s varsity track team is among three figured to give favorite Indiana State the most trouble in the Little State meet. DePauw finished 11 points behind the Sycamores and seven ahead of Ball State last Saturday in the conference meet. Added competition in tomorrow’s event at Rose Poly will come from defending champion independent Wabash. Tigers Mike Fehling and Kirby Bay will return to defend titles in the 2 mile and triple Jump, respectively. The meet begins at 12:30 p.m.

CHICAGO UPI — Centerfielder Jim Landis was back in the good graces of Chicago White Sox Manager A1 Lopez today after a closed-door 20 minute conference to discuss their differences.

Final Weekend For 500 Drivers INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Car owners, mechanics and drivers today started out the final day of practice before Saturday’s start of the final weekend of qualifications for the Memorial Day 5Q0-mile race. Trials Saturday and Sunday will complete the 33-car starting field for what is expected to be the fastest and richest ”500’’ in history. The first weekend of qualifications put 21 cars in the field with the slowest in at an average speed of 149.744 miles per hour. Once 33 cars have been chosen, the bumping process will begin as the slowest qualifiers are knocked out by faster machines. Some observers believe there are more than a dozen still unqualified cars capable of speeds in excess of 150

mph.

Veteran Bob Veith. Fort Bragg, Calif., Speedway “rookie of the year” in 1956. got up to what is regarded as qualifying speed Thursday when he turned a lap at 152.027 mph. Veith expects to qualify the car Satur-

day.

Parnelli Jones, Torrance, Calif., the 1963 “500” winner, demonstrated the capabilities of one still-unqualified car when he got a roadster owned by Mari Hulman George, daughter of Speedway owner Tony Hulman. up to 151.8 mph. Mrs. George and her husband. former driver Elmer George, still hope to find a buyer for the car before the weekend is over. George, who quit racing last year, still maintains he does not plan to attempt to qualify the car himself. Bobby Marshman, Pottstown, Pa., who qualified his LotusFord in the middle of the front row last week, turned in Thursday's fastest lap with an unofficial clocking of 155.467 mph. Earlier in the day. running with a full load of fuel, Marshman turned a lap at 153.2. Jones, also running with a full fuel load, was clocked at 151.668 mph. in the car he qualified last weekend. Oil leaks continued to plague 1962 winner Rodger Ward. Indianapolis, and veteran Johnny Rutherford, Fort Worth. Tex. Leaks from the cars, both already qualified, had the track shut down for a total of almost three hours Thursday while maintenance crews cleaned up the oil.

LITTLE PEOPLE'S PUZZLE

Willie Mays Is Giants' Captain SAN FRANCISCO UPI — The Giants had their first team captain in eight years today and fittingly enough, the Job went to a guy named Willie Mays. Off to one of the greatest starts in his legendary career, May learned of the promotion Thursday after he had crashed two home runs that paced San Francisco to a 9-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. He took the news with the same grace that he can haul in a difficult fly. “This is an hour I’m very proud of.” he said at his locker. “I don’t know if I’ll have a lot of different jobs to do. I’ll talk to Alvin Dark about It." Then, asked if he would carry the xineup to the plate, Mays laughed and parried: “Man that’s not hard!” May s appointment was announced by Manager Dark, the last Giant to serve as team captain. That was in the middle 1950’s when Dark was shortstop for the New York Giants. “Willie Mays is managerial material.” Dark said of his former teammate. “I named him because he is a most deserving man who rightly should have the honor. He is a leader without even opening his mouth.” Dark said that he decided Thursday night to name Mays after giving the matter a lot of thought.

Daniels 4 Hits Detroit Tigers Just about every time manager Gil Hodges' left knee acts up. Bennie Daniels pitches a brilliant game. Gil’s knee rarely hurt him last season and Daniels didn’t cause American League hitters much trouble either. In fact, it was rumored this spring that Daniels was ticketed for the minors or the trading block— a sure cure for Gil’s knee if not his pitching staff. But Daniels got the message and Gil is happily limping around the Washington Senators’ dugout. Daniels four-hit the Detroit Tigers Thursday night, *-2, for his fifth victory of the season, equaling his total triumps of last season 5-10.

Le Is Reported Rallying Troops VIENTIANE Laos UPI — Neutralist Gen. Kong Le today was reported rallying his battered forces on the edge of the Plain of Jars with the help of reconnaissance obtained by U.S. jet planes.

A State Department spokesman said tne jets are keeping close watch on attacking Red forces and reporting on the intentions and dispositions. The spokesman said the reconnaissance missions were requested ov the Laotian government of neutralist Premier Souvanna Phouma. He said use of the planes was authorized because the Canadian-Indian-Pol-ish commission supervising the truce in Laos has been unable to “obtain adequate information.”
