Evansville North Proves Indiana is "Ford Country'
By Kurt Freudenthal INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Some semblance of balance was restored today to the wild and wooly world of Indiana high school basketball, with Evansville North the brand-new king and its Bobby Ford the toast of the town. The Huskies, given less than a 50-50 chance to come out of their rugged sectional toumey a month ago, climaxed a brilliant season Saturday night by upending favored Lafayette, GOSS, to become the 31st champion in the 57-year history of the Hoosier Madness. And Ford, a husky 6-5 hotshot, the only underclassman on coach Jim Rausch’s starting quintet, rewrote the records by finishing the final four games
with 128 points—14 better than the 1959 record of 114 by Kokomo’s Jimmy Rayl. North, rated 10th in the state in the season’s final UPI poll, yanked third-ranked New Castle, 66-56, and Lafayette, the No. 2 crew, whipped sixth-seed-ed Fort Wayne South, 79-70, to set the stage for the grand finale before a tumultuous Hinkle Fieldhouse crowd of 15,000. The title battle was a franic fight from the very start in true championship style with neither team enjoying more than a sixpoint advantage. In the end, free throws by Jim Hildebrandt and Ford gave the downstaters their winning margin. Ford tossed in 27 points and 5-11 guard Steve Holland 15. Against New Cast Ford
Chuck Nelson Wins Coveted Trester Award
INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Fort Wayne South failed to win its third Indiana high school basketball crown, but the Archers walked off with the most coveted individual trophy awarded at Saturday’s state finals—the Trester Medal for Mental Attitude. Chuck Nelson, described by retiring coach Don Reichert as the “brains” of his defense and who ranks 20th in a senior class of 560, became the, school’s first recipient of the treasured trophy. The IHSAA said Nelson, a four-year honor student who hopes to become a dentist, was
the unanimous choice of its Board of Control. Nelson scored 14 points in South’s 79-70 loss to Lafayette in the afternoon round of the state finals. “He certainly deserves the award,” said Reichert. “Game after game we assigned him to the toughest defensive job and he has always done what we have asked.” The bespectacled Nelson, a 6-4 senior, conceded he had thought about the award “but when we lost to Lafayette I didn’t think I had a chance.” His jubilant father, Raymond Nelson, said it was “the most rewarding thing in our lives.”

hooped 35 points and in the two games he pulled down a total of 41 rebounds. “We tried everything to prevent the feeds to Ford, but nothing worked well enough,” said Lafayette’s Marion Crawley, who may retire after 36 years in coaching. “That Ford is absolutely terrific.” It was the same combination —Ford and Holland—that killed off New Castle, but the handsome Rausch also got plenty of mileage out of his other starters —floor general Preston Smith, Ron Jesop and the 6-4 Hildebrandt. It was the closest title battle since 1961 when Kokomo edged Indianapolis Manual in overtime, 68-66. North, also firsttime sectional, regional and semi-state toumey winners, fin ished with a 13-game victory string while the defeat snapped Lafayette’s 20-game winning streak. It also ruined Crawley’s bid for an unprecedented record—a fifth state title ring. Despite Ford’s standout performance, Rausch lauded team play. “Each boy turned in a key play or two,” he said. “Whenever we needed something, there was someone there to do it for us.” Lafayette had its hands full before disposing of South in the afternoon. The lead changed hands 17 times but the tide changed slowly after South lost 6-7 star Willie Long on personals with 3:52 left in the third period. With Ford and Ho’land hitting 21 of North’s 24 field goals, the eventual state champs led New Castle at every stop but the first. Cecil Tague, New Castle’s first-year coach, proved himself to be quite a prophet. After his Trojans were ousted, he felt if North played as well against Lafayette, the Huskies would win. It was also a big disappointment to Fort Wayne’s veteran coach Don Reichert, who retired one game earlier than he had hoped. His resignation had been announced some weeks ago. Reichert blasted the officiating as the “most one-sided” he ever saw in the state finals and added, “You can’t expect to be as good when your big gunner is out of there.” Long collected 16 points and 9 rebounds before fouling out The Southern semi-state lived up to its billing as the most unpredictable of the four in recent years. It was the South’s first triumph since 1962 when Evansville Bosse won its third title. As for Crawley, he stood at the crossroads. He planned to decide shortly whether to remain in coaching or to step down. There was speculation he may run for mayor of Lafayette. “I’ve got a lot of time now to sit around and think about that,” he said. “Tt just might be as tough as coaching.”
Minor Slip
HARTFORD, Conn. UPI — Justice of the Peace John Knox of Greenwich should have retired when he reached the age of 70. But the birthday apparently slipped his mind and the state senate had to put things right. A special bill was passed to legalize 12 marriages the absentminded justice performed after he passed the retirement age. There was no opposition to the measure.

Clay Makes Final Southern Illinois
Wins NIT Classic
Preparations NEW YORK UPI—Cassius Clay went into seclusion today for a final boxing session in preparation for W e d n e s day night’s heavyweight title defense agianst Zora Folley at Madison Square Garden. Clay, who made Sunday his day of rest and found some tranquility in preaching at a Harlem Mosque, closed the doors on his usually “pen to the public” workout as he planned “some secret strategy” that would make Folley his eighth victim within the last 12
months.
It was thought the champion would concentrate on a body defense because he doesn’t believe Folley’s statement that the Chandler, Ariz., challenger will go for Clay’s head. Folley thinks Clay can’t take punches up high and had made this statement to the press. Clay, however, cautiously takes this declaration as a diversionary move. Folley, who completed his heavy training Sunday, appeared sharp in a final two-round go with sparmate Wendell Newton of Nassau, Bahamas. ‘‘He hits awrut fast and hard,” Newton exclaimed of Folley’s explosive fists.
4 More Killed In State Traffic By United Press International At least four persons died in Indiana traffic over the weekend but authorities were uncertain today whether a fifth death should be counted. The four deaths raised the state’s 1967 toll to at least 221 compared with 291 a year ago. The death about which authorities were uncertain was that of Christina Cadey, 19, R. R. 2, Peru, who was electrocuted Sunday night after she apparently escaped serious injury in a traffic accident. Miss Cadey was killed when she touched a power line as she crawled from a ditch into which her car plunged after it went out of control north of Peru on Indiana 19 and struck a utility pol«. Mrs. Janice Hassel, 34, an Indianapolis school teacher, was killed early Sunday night in a two-car crash just northwest of Indianapolis. Clyde B. Sorrells, 21, Sassafras, Ky., was killed Sunday in a two-car collision on Indiana. 135 south of Corydqn. Otis Chism, 88, Gary, was killed Sunday morning in a twocar collision at a Gary intersection. Eugene Manson, 30, Indianapolis, was killed Saturday night when a car struck him on U.S. 31 north of Seymour. Police said Manson was sitting or lying in the road when he was struck.
Rioting Is Stage In Somiland DJIBOUTI, French Somaliland UPI — Several hundred demonstrators ripped up paving stones today and hurled them at French troops in a native-quar-ter riot protesting the result of a n independence referendum Sunday held under the muzzle of machineguns. At least two persons were killed, unofficial reports said. French officials claimed that its last colony in Africa voted against independence and for continued links with Paris. The announced results of the plebiscite brought immediate charges from Somali independence leaders that the voting was rigged. D e m o n s t r a t ors poured into the streets. The anti-French mob, including scores of women, rolled oil barrels into the streets to make barriers against anti-riot French Legionnaires and set fire to wooden horse carriages, shouting the old traditional Arab war cry “Allah Akbar,” God is great. A crack force of about 6,000 hardened French troops tightened its control of this seething colonial capital perched on the wake of results which French authorities said showed 60 per cent of the voters wanted continued Paris rule. The Independence referendum was ordered by President Charles De Gaulle after bloody riots by the nationalists marred his visit here last August on the first stop of a world tour.
NEW YORK UPI — For a “small college’ team. Southern Illinois cut a mighty big niche in the basketball world this season. The Salukis ran roughshod over 24 of their 26 opponents, whipping the last 19 in succession, and topping all that off by becoming the first “small college” team ever to win the pestigious National Invitational Tournament. Thus, the nation’s top-ranked “small college” team added a new chapter to the school’s athletic history that is certain to change its status in the eyes of the fans. It also boosted the prestige of small college basketball since the Salukis lost in the small college finals the last two years. The Salukis not only won the NIT to cap a near perfect season, but it was the way they did it that was most impressive They almost made it look easy as they were the favored team in each of the four games they played. Led by the tournament’s most valuable player, Walt Frazier, the Carbondale, HI., crew marched past St. Peter’s 103-58, Duke 72-63 and Rutgers 79-70 before knocking over Maruquette in the finals, 71-56.
