Hoosiers show true hysteria

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—HOOsier Hysteria really got hysterical Saturday night. Kentucky defeated Indiana 61-56 to complete a two-game sweep of their annual high school all-star basketball series in a game called with 52 seconds left on the clock because of an unruly crowd. The 14,077 fans sweltered in 85-degree heat in Hinkle Fieldhouse as Indiana saw Kentucky reel off six straight points to gain the final margin after Indiana had held a slim 56-55 edge. A bottle was pitched from the crowd onto the floor, scattering glass. Play resumed after it was cleaned up, but things went from bad to worse. Indiana’s Rick Ford of Evansville North fouled Kentucky’s Henry Bacon of Louisville Male. About then a coin thrown from the crowd struck Bacon in the eye.

At that point, the officials called the game. A dozen guards escorted the officials and the Kentucky team from the floor. One guard was struck in the eye by a plastic catsup container. Indiana’s “Mr. Basketball,” Billy Shepherd of Carmel, was named the game’s “star of stars.” He threw in 19 points to lead all scorers. The Hoosiers built up a fivepoint edge in the first half at 28-23, but the Bluegrass boys ran off eight straight points and gained a 31-30 halftime advantage. Ford’s lay-in at the start of the second half gave Indiana a 32-31 edge which increased to 40-35 before Kentucky regrouped. Bill Burton of Louisville Pleasure Ridge sank a fielder

at 10:40 to give Kentucky a 44-43 advantage. The teams see-sawed and Shepherd canned a fielder to give Indiana its final lead at 56-55 with 3:23 to play. Stan Key of Calloway County connected on a pair of charity tosses to put the Bluegrass boys of coach Hardin McLane ahead for good. Burton followed with a fielder, Ron Thomas of Louisville Jefferson and Jerry Dunn of Glasgow each pitched in a free throw to end the scoring. It was Kentucky’s seventh win in the last eight games, although Indiana still holds a 24-17 edge in the series. Jim Price of Indianapolis Tech got 14 to join Shepherd as the only Hoosiers in double figures. Top men for Kentucky were Randy Noll of Covington Catholic with 14, Thomas with 12 and Burton with 10. McLane said the game was even rougher than the one last week in Louisville but added, “boys on both sides were just playing hard trying to win.” McLane also said Ford’s foulJaycees will sponsor tourney Friday, July 5, the Greencastle Jaycees will stage their annual Junior Golf Tournament at Windy Hill Country Club.

ing Bacon “was completely an accident.” Indiana Coach Cleon Reynolds charged that referee Jerry Carlton of Knoxville, 111., who called off the game “came here

with a chip on his shoulder.” Reynolds also said the Kentucky players were using their elbows while dribbling but when he tried to tell Carlton about it, the official “became very nasty.”

Guardsman blanks Detroit

By PETE ALFANO UPI Sports Writer Tommy John won't have to wear his Air Force blue to the All-Star game on July 9—he’ll have a new suit waiting for him, courtesy of Eddie Stanky. The Chicago left-hander, on weekend leave from the Indiana Air National Guard, hurled a four-hit shoutout Sunday to notch his seventh victory of the season without a loss as the White Sox snapped a Detroit Tiger five game winning streak with a 12-0 trouncing of the league leaders. The 25.year.old John, who was named to the American League All Star team on Saturday, also earned himself a new suit by retiring 24 Tigers on grounders, four more than necessary to win Stanky’s incentive award. The White Sox’ manager buys a new suit for any member of his staff who hurls a complete game and retires at least 20 of the opposition on grounders. Reserves Come Through Three other members of the reserves also starred for the White Sox. Part-time outfielder Bill Voss his first major league grand slam off reliever Dennis Ribant to climax a fiverun rally in the third inning and pin starter Joe Sparma with his eighth loss in 14 decisions. Voss’ homer came after a double by Sandy Alomar, a hit batsman and two walks issued by Sparma, who was then lifted for Ribant. Alomar, had four hits in five tries, including three stolen bases and four runs scored, while Tom McCraw, also on weekend leave from the National Guard, chipped in with three hits, two of them doubles, and a run batted in.

In other American League action, Cleveland defeated Boston 7-5 in 10 innings, New York tripped Oakland 4-2, Baltimore beat Minnesota 6-4 and California coasted over Washington 84. In the National League, Chicago dumped St. Louis 6-2, New York edged Houston 1-0, Los Angeles topped Atlanta 3-2, Pittsburgh defeated Philadelphia 5-2 and Cincinnati held on to beat San Francisco 5-3. Duke Sims’ three-run homer highlighted a four-run rally in the 10th inning as Cleveland beat slumping Boston. Stan Williams, who allowed three runs in three innings of relief, won his sixth game in 10 decisions. White Homers Roy White’s tie-breaking tworun homer in the seventh inning lifted New York past Oakland. White’s homer, his seventh of the season, followed a single by Horace Clarke. Steve Barber, who hurled the first seven innings recorded his first victory after two losses. Baltimore capitalized on reliever Al Worthington’s wildness to rally for three runs in the seventh inning on only one hit to defeat Minnesota. Worthington loaded the bases on walks with none out. Brooks Robinson’s sacrifice fly, Dave Johnson’s single and another sacrifice fly by Curt Motton enabled the Orioles to hand Worthington his third loss in five decisions. Tony Oliva led the Twins’ attack with three hits, including his 11th and 12th homers of the year off starter Wally Bunker. Eddie Watt, who pitched two innings of relief, picked up his third win against four losses.

Some cars are talking big price slashes* They know what they’re worth*

Pity the poor car that doesn’t become attractive until it has its price cut. Pity it. But don’t buy it. Buy instead a car that sales figures prove is attractive all year long. Chevrolet, America’s favorite. (Now all the more attractive, with special savings on V8 engines and automatic transmissions.) A car with windshield wipers thaPstay out of sight until you turh them on, and an automatic alarm system that warns you not to leave your keys.

The simple truth is: we can afford to put more into each car we build, because we build more cars. Putting you first keeps us first. See your Chevrolet dealer last, for good sound savings on all 1968 models. ^ You get the biggest * year-end savings just where you’d expect to.

Chuck Hinton’s two-run triple sparked a four-run first inning which enabled California to defeat Washington and give starter Rick Clark his first victory of the season after eight losses.

Olympic trials don’t try much

WIND PROBLEM DETROIT (UPI)—Drivers of 15 of the fastest power boats in the world today were watching the weahter and waiting for a go-ahead in the 60th running of the Gold Cup for unlimited hydroplanes. Blustering winds of more than 20 miles an hour Sunday ruffled the Detroit Rier in rolling white caps and forced a one-day postponement of the race. A second attempt to start elimination heats was set for 2 p.m., EDT. If the wind doesn’t die down today, they’ll try again Tuesday. BRAZILIAN WIN ST. LOUIS (UPI)— Pele’s goal early in the second half enabled Santos of Brazil to defeat the St. Louis Stars of the North American Soccer League 3-2 Sunday before a crowd of 20,116. Pele of Santos and Casey Franciewicz of the Stars scored two goals each in the first half. U.S. VICTORY HELSKINI (UPI)—Mike Barrett scored 25 points and Glynn Saulters tallied 16 to lead the United States Olympic basketball team to a 91-87 triumph over the Finnish National team Sunday at the Helsinki Sports Palace.

By ALEX KAHN UPI Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (UPI)—The makeup of the United States Olympic Games track and field team that will compete at Mexico City was no closer to being decided today than it was before the two-day weekend trials. Because of the possibility that the Mexico City games might be boycotted by U.S, Negro athletes, no final selection was made on the basis of the trials. The boycott possibility was not mentioned by Olympic Track and Field Committee Chairman Hilmer Lodge of Pala, Calif. Instead he said that the ability to perform at high altitude comparable to Mexico City’s mile-high elevation, would determine the three men who will compete in each event. Provide Alternates But the committee indicated it was inviting from 6 to 10 competitors in each event to participate in the Olympic development program at Lake Tahoe, Calif. That would keep enough men active to serve as possible replacements in event of a Negro boycott. There were 38 men also on a trial exempt list because of illness or injuries. “The winner of each event at Los Angeles will be considered as having made the teamprovided he can demonstrate his excellence at high altitude training to the satisfaction of the selection committee,” Lodge said. In view of his statement, Lodge was asked what was the purpose of the ^rials which in past years had determined Olympic participants barring injury that might keep them from competing. “Without this meet we would have been strapped for funds,” Lodge said. The Olympic development program gets under way July 15 and runs until Sept. 1 when the Country is in trouble GOLDEN, Colo. (UPI) — A judge ruled this week that the country is “in trouble” if football players are not protected against the spontaneous outbursts of laymen. In effect, District Judge Christian Stoner threw out a $493 jury award to David R. Eddy, Alamosa, Colo., who suffered a fractured jaw in the fall of 1966 when slugged by a player. Eddy sued James Honea, now an engineer and living in Newburgh, Ind., for $30,000 damages. With 12 seconds to go, Honea caught a touchdown pass for the Colorado School of Mines and set up the winning conversion against Southern Colorado State. Evidence showed that Eddy charged onto the field, pushed Honea and was slugged in return. The judge promptly exonerated Honea. “It seems to me,” said Stoner,” if you’re going to have football and if you’re going to protect the layman while he runs arbitrarily onto the field. . .and he interferes with the play and grant the players no rights at all, then you’re in trouble all over the United States.”

formal month of high altitude training starts. Participation in the development program is voluntary, Lodge stressed. Few Outstanding Many of the athletes indicated by their performances that they did not consider the Los Angeles trials as finally determining whether they would be invited to compete in Mexico City. After a series of belowaverage performances Saturday in which only George Young of Casa Grande, Ariz., came up with an Olympic Games effort in winning the steeplechase in 8:34.2, the athletes warmed up a little Sunday. Among the high points Sunday was Art Walker’s American record effort in the triple jump with a leap of 55-1%. He became the first American ever to better 55 feet. Ron Whitney showed he was the world’s leading 400-meter hurdler by winning his event in 49.5 seconds, fastest time of the year. Tommie Smith, one of the leaders of the threatened boycott movement, ran a brilliant 20.2 seconds in the 200meter dash, fastest in the nation this year. And Smith’s teammate, Lee Evans, won the 400-meter run in 45.1 seconds, shading Emmett Taylor of Ohio U. ‘Paddy’ Driscoll dead at 73 CHICAGO (UPI) - Funeral services are scheduled Tuesday for John Leo “Paddy” Driscoll, a Northwestern University football All - America, one • time coach of the Chicago Bears and member of the Football Hall of Fame.
