c t i 3 3 ~

CHICAGO UPI — What should bo the most confusing Big Ten basketball chase in seven seasons gets under way Saturday with a full slate of five conference games and little chance lor an outstanding title favorite to show up for at least a month. Iowa, boasting the best nonconference record in the loop with only one loss in eight starts, stacked up as the most logical choice for the title and was expected to win its opening game handily at Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes were the heaviest favorite on the opening card, six points over the Badgers, who won four of 10 preseason matches. Defending champion Michigan, on the other hand, was no better than a three point favorite for its game at Ohio State, one of six teams with better than a .500 record so far and like Michigan beaten four times. The Wolverines, sparked by Cazzie Russell, were the preseason choice for the title, but won only six of their 10 starts so far, while Ohio State won five of nine. Minnesota, also classed among the possible winners in

pre-season speculation, lost standout Lou Hudson with a broken wrist, and will open at Michigan State as a five-point underdog to the Spartans, who won seven of 10 outings so far. The Gophers also have a 7-3 record. Northwestern, with a 5-5 preseason mark, was a three-point choice over Purdue in the opening game of the Big Ten television series. The Boilermakers, despite the defending scoring champion Dave Shellhase, whq has been the national scoring leader through most of the season so far, have won only four of 10 outings, but walloped Notre Dame in their last start. Illinois and Indiana, each under .500 for the season with 4-6 for the Illini and 4-5 for the Hoosiers, were scheduled for a “pick it” game on the Indiana court. The Illini will be defending the league lead, attained in a December game against Wisconsin when Illinois won a 9070 decision for a temporary grip on first place. Four of the five games were slated for the afternoon with only the Minnesota-Michigan State clash at night.

THM IS THE TIME OF TEAR when the old cry about moving the National Football League championship game from the polar regions to the warmer climates is loudest. Proponents of the move, led by some sportswriters, give the pitch that the classic now has turned into a TV spectacular, that there aren’t enough seats left to sell in frigid bowl cities because of season ticket holders and the game would be better if played on a dry field. Their reasons have merit, to be sure, but this column doesn’t go along with them and believes the game should be played wherever the chips, and snowflakes, falL • • • THE LOYAL tens, you know, plus the local business in Hie town and the desire of the pro football fan to be “at” Hie game to root for ”1118” team make up a package which, we believe, is enough to keep the status quo. BeMdea, what guarantee is there that it won’t rain or turn even nippy or smoggy If it was played In Florida or California? And, many times, to be sure, the weather in Gram Bay or Philadelphia or New York or Detroit even at this time of file year isn’t that bad. And beaidse, a football tan is like a horse player—he’ll turn out rain or shine, cold or hot weather, anywhere. The season schedule Isn’t shifted, if a bad day comes up. Some of the late season games are played in weather which sometimes is worse than at playoff time and many of these games, too, are more important than the finale for the title chance may hinge on them. Naturally some of the players, perhaps many of them, would rather play in a nice warm atmosphere, and particularly, one where the attendance would be up in the 70,000 er more range. And some of the owners, too, feel this way although they have to be careful about saying it for fear they'll hurt their fans. • • • THE BIG TV contracts in pro football and the championship game ($1,800,000 for the 1965 event) must be reckoned with and U they want to start dictating where the game will be played the dubs better listen. But it seems to us that any football game has to have the fans, and don’t start alienating their affection when they have a chance to see their team go for the works. No doubt they’re content to sit back and watch it on TV when the game is in the ether division’s city but not when it’s scheduled tor the home field, cold or no cold. We agree w^i Mel Durslag, a writing friend, that “blacking out” a certain area like they did in Chicago in the 1963 title game was a bad deal and shouldn’t be. The World Series of baseball is televised everywhere and it certainly hasn’t stopped stadia from being filled. Durslag, in a recent piece in TV Guide, quotes Art Rooney, owner of the Pittesburgh Steelers, with this comment on moving the title game to temperate weather zone: “You must be kidding. We haven’t won a title in the 32 years I’ve had the franchise in Pittsburgh. And you ask me tt I’d move the game? Why, they’d chase me to the county hne!” Well said. Art Keep the home fires burning.

Ragan and Oppermann J

Lead LA. Open

LOS ANGELES UPI — Hot putters Devs Ragan, a veteran pro, and newcomer Steve Oppennann have a two - stroke lead over the field today going into the second round of the 72hole, $70,000 Loe Angeles

Open.

They fired four - under - par 67s Thursday in the first round with identical nines of 36-31 on the par 36-35-71 Rancho municipal course — a 6,840-yard layout which “played a little long,” according to most pros. Recent rains made the fairways and greens a bit soft, but they dried out under a bright winter sun during the after-

noon.

Two strokes behind Ragan and Oppermann with firstround 69s was the trio of Chuck Courtney, San Diego, Calif., with 35-34; Dave Marr, 1965 PGA champ, with 36-33; and Gay Brewer, the handsome Texan from Dallas, with 35-34. Fifteen pros broke par In the first round. Not among the par-breakers, though, were Arnold Palmer, Tony Lema, Billy Maxwell, Gene Littler, Don January, and Lionel Hebert who were one over at 72. Palmer who shot a 67 to take top individual honors In the proamateur prelude Wednesday had putter trouble, missing a couple of four-footers and one three - footer. He had four birdies and five bogeys. Chi Chi Rodrigues was another big name golfer who had trouble. He was three over at 74 on nines of 39-35. Ken Venturi, the 1964 National Open champion who’s been bothered by a circulatory ailment in his hands, matched par 71 with nines of 37-34. Venturi said the 75-degree weather was much to his liking.

South Favored in Hula Bowl

HONOLULU UPI — The nouveau riche of America, including such well-paid youngsters as Donny Anderson, Mike Garrett, Jim Grabowski and Carl McAdams, will clash under the pleasant Hawaiian sky tonight when North meets South in the 20th Hula Bowl game. The South is favored by five points in what both rival coaches are predicting will be wideopen, high-scoring affair. A near-capacity crowd of 23,000 la expected to view the collegians, many of whom reportedly received bonuses and salaries ranging up to $600,000 for signing with professional football clubs. North coach Jim Owens of Washington and South mentor J. T. King of Texas Tech each reported their squads were ready for the contest. When asked what he thought of being considered by most observers as the favorites, King raised his eyebrows and asked in return, “Are we the favorites? *1 thought the game was rated a tossup,” he said, while assistant Bob Devaney of Nebraska nodded in agreement. Owens praised his North team for learning assignments. When asked what he thought of the South being considered the favorites, he answered, “I can see why, with the great personnel they have.”

The North offense will center on the running of Jim Grabowski, who broke Red Grange’s Big Ten rushing records, and Ohio State’s Tom Barrington. Steve Juday, who led Michigan State to an unbeaten season and the national championship, before bowing to UCLA in the Rose Bowl, will be handling the passing chores.

Beard to Coach Indians Again INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Ted Beard will return as coach of the Indianapolis Indians this spring, club president Owen J. Bush announced today. Bush eaid Less Moss, newlynamed team manager, requested Beard as his coach. They were together in the same capacities In 1964. Beard retired from baseball a year ago and entered private business. He was one of the stars on the 1948 team that won the American Association pennant under Al Lopez. Since that time Beard served the team as player, coach and manager. Bush also announced that Len Johnston, who was a play-er-coach last season, will return to a full-time playing status. Under Moss two years ago Johnston posted his finest season with the Indians, batting .316 with 67 rbi’s and 22 doubles.

Glenn S. (Pop) Warner began his coaching career at Iowa State in 1895 and ended it at Temple in 1938.

Johnson Favored

NEW YORK UPI— Former light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson is favored at 31 to beat Johnny Persol at Madison Square Garden tonight and perhaps earn another shot at the world title. Johnson, in his 21st year as professional fighter, would appear to have everything against him, At 37 he is conceding 2 years to Persol and he’s been idle since April 20, 1964, when he knocked out Hank Casey at Santa Monica, Calif. But the Philadelphia native is recognized as one of the better craftsmen in boxing history and always has been in top physical condition upon entering the ring. Johnson is a careful fighter and hasn’t been hurt much despite 81 bouts.

Indiana Needs Better Boating Laws For Safety

INDIANAPOLIS UPI —Sen. William C. Christy, D-Ham-mond, warned fellow legislators today that “we are going to have as many accidents on the water as on the highways” unless Indiana develops a more adequate program for supervising boats and operators. Christy, chairman of the Indiana Conservation Advisory Committee, discussed at a committee meeting the possibility that boats might he licensed in the same manner automobiles

However, Christy said he felt the licensing plan needs much more exploration before any decision is made. John Mitchell, director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, also said he is not ready to make recommendations but said an improved method “is a top priority problem.” Mitchell said the present method of owners registering for a $3 fee with his department “is not adequate and a dmeervice” to toe

growing number of boat owners. Two representatives of marina dealers said they favor a registration plan providing for subagents. George Emmelman, Plainfield, said the average sale of new boats is to working people on weekends and unless dealers are sub-agents who can register boats for immediate use, prospective owners would be discouraged. Rep. George L. Fisher, RLeesburg, suggested an increase in the charge to boat owners

and said “anybody who can afford a boat and one of those big motors can afford to pay more than a $3 fee for three years.” Emmelman protested that “70 per cent of the people who own boats are working people.” “They are people who don’t drink and this is what they do to keep their families together," he said. “They would rather have a boat than a new car.” Christy suggested whatever method is used should be made an annual basis instead of * three-year basis.
