Kansas Team Favored In AAU Meet at Terre Haute

TERRE HAUTE UPI—Kansas freshman sensation Jim Ryun heads a field of about 300 athletes in the fourth annual U.S. Track and Field Federation national meet at Indiana State University this weekend, but he will probably pass up another crack at the world mile mark. With Kansas expected to

BRL Needs Boys Loyd Cooper, athletic director, has announced that more boys are needed for the 1966 Babe Ruth season. Any boy bom prior to August 1, 1953 and on or after August 1, 1950 is eligible. This summer is not limited to boys in the Greencastle area, any interested boy in Putnam County may participate. If interested call Loyd Cooper at OL 3-6670 during daytime or come to the first game Monday, June 13 at the high school diamond.

By United Press International Owners of the National and American Football Leagues, having achieved harmony after six years of bitter infighting and threats of annihilation, were nearly unanimous today in their praise of the newly merged professional powers. George Halas, the Papa Bear who nursed the NFL through the depression and watched it grow into a 15-team league drawing 4.5 million fans in 1965, was overjoyed at the merger of the sixyear-old AFL and his 47-year-old league.

*T am delighted that efforts to bring about a peaceful relationship between the two leagues have been successful,” Halas said Wednesday. *1 have advocated the sensible course of peace for a long time and am completely in accord with the informal talks that took place over the past years. “The most important consideration, of course, is the preservation of the game and the future certainly promises continuation of the present high quality of competition,” the 71-year-old Chicago coach and owner

added.

The skyrocketing bonuses paid to rookies and the leaguejumping incidents by some high-salaried stars paved the way for the merger that wasn’t expected for years. Both leagues had dedicated themselves to drive the other out of business. K. S. (Bud) Adams, millionaire owner of the AFL’s Houston Oilers, believes the merger will end the financial strain on both leagues and secure the future of pro football. “I don’t think there will be these tremendous salaries and bonuses that there have been in the past,” said Adams, who once offered $800,000 to halfback Donnie Anderson. “I personally feel that the two leagues getting together means the security and future of pro football will be assured.” Arthur Modell, youthful owner of the Cleveland Browns, was delighted to see the merger materialize but feels, “the timing of the announcement may have been a little premature. But something had to be done. “This merger will help bring football to more cities and satisfy the growing public demand. It will allow the league to expand scientifically, giving it stability and insuring that no franchises will be moved,”

Modell added.

The Bidwell brothers, owners of the St. Louis Cardinals, foresee a greater appeal of pro football on a larger scale. “We’re excited, as all sports fans must be, with the possibilities of the world championship game and the fact that all great athletes will be brought into all major league cities,” William Bidwell said. “The program of expansion... will make certain the game is ele-

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Phil N. Eskew, IHSAA commissioner, Wednesday said he would write “every high school principal in the state” to warn them summer recreational programs including basketball are in “direct violation” of the rules. “I’ve had calls from all around the state about these summer recreational programs,” he said. “What they’re doing, they tell the boys such sports as volley ball, ping pong, tennis, gymnastics, and a little track will be offered, and then they add ‘a little basketball.”’ “What I suggest is that they take the goals off the backboards. That way we’ll keep these boys out of the gyms,” Eskew said. IHSAA rules hold a youth who plays independent, league, recreation or organized basketball games before Nov. 1 or after the close of the sectional tourney “make themselves ineligible for all interscholastic athletics until the closing date of the state basketball tourney finals of the following year.” Eskew pointed out the IHSAA has limited season on only three sports, including basketball, football and wrestling, in order to guard against year-round practice or competition in these

sports.

The IHSAA rules also hold that a prospective student who j takes part in scrimmage, practice, try-out “or otherwise demonstrates his athletic ability, either on or off the campus for a college, shall be considered in violation.”

Still Critical

CHICAGO UPI — Veteran midget and Indianapolis race driver Jimmy Davies today entered his sixth day of unconsciousness, following injuries he suffered last Friday in a crash at the Santa Fe Speedway in suburban Hinsdale. The 36-year-old California native, who now resides in Monticello, Ind., suffered a skull fracture when his racer slammed into the wall and his helmet flew off on impact. A Hinsdale Sanitarium and Hospital spokesman Wednesday said Davies’ condition “was about the same” as when he entered the hospital Friday night. Davies drove in five Indianapolis 500-mile auto races during the 1950s and his best finish was a third in 1955. He was national midget driving champion from 1960 to 1962.

shoot for the team title, the 19-year-old speedster may run in three events, including a relay, and postpone another try for the world mile record until the National AAU meet in New York later this month. Ryun, considered a good bet to become the first runner to register a 3:50 mile, set an American record of 3:53.7 in the Compton, Calif., Invitational meet last Saturday night, missing Frenchman Michel Jazy’s world mark by one-tenth of a second. Nearly two dozen entries have signed up for the mile, the glamor event in any cinder carnival, and unless many of them scratch, heats will have to be run to determine the eventual winner. In that case, there was speculation that Kansas coach Bob Timmons will scratch his star protege and turn him loose in the 880, the 3-mile run and the mile relay. The two-day meet will be staged on Indiana State’s yearold track and also includes an array of other stars — among them American javelin recordholder John Tushaus of Arizona, distance ace John Lawson of Kansas, sprinters Henry Willimas of Bowling Green and Rene Matson of New Mexico, and a pair of 7-foot plus high jumpers, Ed Caruthers of Arizona and Ron Tull of Oklahoma. For many athletes, it will be the final tune-up for next week’s NCAA meet at Indiana University, where Ryun will be ineligible to compete because of his freshman status. The Iowa Track Club of Des Moines seeks its third consecutive women’s team crown. The lowans entered a 14-member term of high school girls. Fourteen final events, including five for women, are on Friday’s program, among them the 880, the 3,000 meter steeplechase and 6-mile run. For the distaff side, three running and two field events will be decided on the first day of competition.

A maximum of 63 points may be scored in the competition which awards seven points for first in the seven-team conference down to one point for last. In figuring in the all-sports championship for the third time in four years, Indiana State had a hand in four of the nine sport titles decided during 1965-66. It won undisputed championships in wrestling and golf and split the crown in basketball (with Evansville) and baseball (with Valparaiso). Further depth came with runnerup honors in swimming and track and third place finishes in cross country and tennis. The lowest reading was in football, where the grid squad wound up

Runnerup Ball State took two championships, won second in two more and finished lower than third in only one sport. Five schools in the conference won championships during the season.
