Cloverdale and Bainbridge Among Favorites in Tomorrow's Regionals

By United Press Internattennl INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Don’t look for many first-tima regional winners Saturday when Indiana’s month-long: high school basketball tourney reaches the half-way mark. Although 23 sectional winners have never barged into the “Sweet Sixteen,” the law of averages say few of them will make the grade. Last year, only four brand-new second-round champs were crowned—among them Indianapolis Washington, which went all the way to the IHSAA throne room.

Hie other new winners were Cloverdale, South Bend Washington and Triton. Hie best chances for initial regional winners this time appear to be at Covington, Evansville and Terre Haute. At Covington, only Bainbridge has been there before. Coni Creek Central, Turkey Bun and Fowler are the other hopefuls. Tell City is the only regional contender at Evansville that has ever made it through Round 2. Two other Southern Conference members, Evansville Memorial

ITS SUN-UP TIME for the baseball players as the spring training sessions start In the southland and in Arizona and California. And, this year, many of the players will have a longer orientation period for the managerial changes came in wholesale proportion. And, while the pattern of spring training is pretty much the same year after year, excepting for different theories on calisthenics, the new managers will be coming up with some clipboard changes. Despite a long absence from the field as a manager, although he has been and broadcasting, Leo Durocher, the Cubs' new boss, will take rank aa the dean of the major league managers, the 1966 aeason marking his 17th in that capacity. The real dean of all, of course, is Walter Alston, the very successful manager of the Dodgers, who has guided the same club for 12 years after coming cold from the minors as a nobody. Charlie Dressen, boss man of the Tigers, ranks next to Dumber in service for he is starting his 16th season, although only the second full campaign as the Bengals’ boss. e • • IN ADDITION to Durocher, the new managers are Eddie Stanley of the White Sox, A1 Dark of the Athletics, Don Heffner of the Rede, Graty Hatton of the Astros, and Wes Westrum of the Meta. Heffner, Hatton and Westrum are getting their first major league shots but all three are former ball players and have either been coaches or managers in the minors. Of unusual note is that two of the six new managers, Heffner and Westrum, were coaches with the lowly Mets last year. Lippy Leo, who rixould add some blazing color to the scene this year now that Casey Stengel has vacated the spotlight post, was manager of the Dodgers as far back aa 1939 and had two sessions with that club before he became manager of the Giants in 1948. Dressen has bean around for ho has managed the Red% Dodgers, Senators and Braves in addition to the Tigers. Of the holdover set. Bill Rigney of the California Angels and Birdie Tebbetts of the Indians are starting their 11th year. In the last 10 years, since it entered the league, Kansas City had had the biggest shuffling of managers. In that time the club has been run by Lou Boudreau, Harry Craft, Bob Elliott, Joe Gordon, Hank Bauer, EdLopat, Mel McG&ha, Haywood Sullivan and now A1 Dark.

Propose $20 Million Track

ONTARIO, Calif. UPI—The City Council Tuesday night declared its interest in a proposal for a 620.8 million auto racing speedway here that would accommodate 250,000 racing enthusiasts. The plan for the proposed speedway on a 710-acre site adjoining this San Bernardino County community 40 miles east of Los Angeles was presented by Filmways, Inc., an independent television and movie producing company, and Stolte, Inc., general contractors. The Council recommended that Stolte submit a construction contract to be negotiated with the city, that the city administration discuss the project with bond counsel and recommend to the council firm to provide legal counsel, and that the city administration secure at least three proposals from financial consultants and report

back to the council by March 15. Filmways and Stolte had proposed that the city set up a nonprofit corporation to lease the site from the city. Funds for the city to buy the site after its annexation to the city plus the money for construction of speedway improvements was to come from a taxfree bond issue sale by the nonprofit corporation. The proposal was similar to that used to build the Anaheim Stadium to house the California Angels of the American League in baseball.

8-HOMER GAMES BLOOMINGTON, Minn. UPI —Five teams have hit eight home runs in a single major league game. The Minnesota Twins were the last to accomplish the feat in 1963 against Washington.

Ranking “people’s choice” entry UnionviDe and Cloverdale and Shakamak an the “havenots” hoping to email through. All three figure to be toss-up tourneys—But there are others. Tourneys at Columbus, East Chicago, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Jeffersonville, and Logansport could go either way. That leaves just half a dozen tourneys with favorite s—at least on the UPI form chart— but don’t take anything for granted. The six are Anderson, Brookville at Connersville, Washington at Huntingburg, Kokomo, Lafayette, and Muncie South at New Castle. Kokomo has gained the “Sweet Sixteen” 27 times—more than any other team. Lafayette and Logansport have been there 25 times, but Logan may face a strong challenge from Valparaiso if they meet for the title. Anderson, a “Sweet Sixteen” member 21 times, meets North Central Conference rival Marion in Its second afternoon game. They met early in the season, with Anderson winning handily, 73-49.

Brookville has lost just twice late hi the season and is favored to repeat at Connersville. Washington, beaten only once during the season, has won its last 16 games and is one of the top favorites among the 64 sectional winners to gain next week’s semi-state. Muncie South has also lost only , twice and should rule at New Castle. Most of the other regionals have that dog-eat-dog appearance, with most of the interest focused on East Chicago, where Gary Roosevelt and East Chicago Washington clash in the afternoon with Hammond the likely night foe for one o f them; at Elkhart, where South Bend Central and Michigan City could tangle at night; at Fort Wayne, where South Side is favored to meet either unbeaten Garrett or North Side for the title; at Indianapolis, where Tech and Howe are the powers, and at Jeffersonville, where New Albany and North Vernon could be the teams to beat But a lot of darkhorse entries with nothing to lose stand between them and two regional victories. And a lot of the “little ones” are expected to be keyed sky high in an effort to keep the last two weeks of the tourney from being a big city show.

Frick Mentioned in Suit

MILWAUKEE UPI—Wisconsin’s antitrust suit against baseball, bogged down by the reading into the record of depositions, was livened Thursday by a courtroom argument about a man who wasn't there—former baseball Commissioner Ford Frick. Testimony by Frick, in which he advocated eventual expansion of a pair of 12 team leagues—

Chamberlain Scores 62 Points By United Pres* International There’s no telling what role Wilt Chamberlain will fill from night to night. The last few weeks the 7-foot-1 giant has refused to shoot, preferring to pass to teammates. But Thursday night, th# Philadelphia 76’or reverted to his job as scoring leader of the second place Eastern Division 76’ers and tallied a terrifying 62 points and pulled down an astounding 87 rebounds as Philadelphia whipped San Francisco 135-125.

Fred Hetzel, the improving rookie from Davidson, led the losers with 35 points.

at one point before 1964—was read into the record by attorneys for the state, over the strenuous objections of attorneys for the Braves and the National League. Trial on the antitrust suit, which charges baseball with conspiring to boycott Milwaukee by moving the Braves to Atlanta and refusing the city an expansion franchise, moved into its fifth day today. The Braves, the National League and its nine other members are the defendants. Continued cross-examination on Frick’s deposition was first on today's docket, with the deposition taken from National League President Warren Giles also scheduled. National League attorney Bowie Kuhn objected to the reading into the record of Frick’s testimony, which was taken last November in New York. Circuit Judge Elmer Roller allowed the testimony to bo taken and then granted a state motion that it be made part of the record. Kuhn said the testimony was irrelevant to proving the state’s case. Steven F. Keane, special counsel for the state, said the testimony was “highly relevant” In proving that expansion of the National League was feasible and in proving that Milwaukee is a “good baseball town.”
