Greve heads Windy scramble champs
Scramble champs left to right are Dr. Jerry Elliott, Tibby Eitel, Harry Moore, Harry Tharp and Ray Greve
A 21-under par capped by Ray Greve’s clutch putt, aided his team composed of Harry Tharp, Dr. Jerry Elliott, Harry Moore, and Tibby Eitel, to win the biggest Windy Hill event of the year, the Labor Day Scramble. Greve and Company beat Don Orlosky’s headed team and Ron Terry’s fivesome by 1 and 2 strokes respectively, after trailing most of the tourney. Orlosky’s team made up of Dick Crawley, Dick Judy, Walter Frye and Wink Bryant lead a majority of the tourney, only to be overtaken and beaten when Greve sunk his final putt on the 9th hole of the 36hole tournament. Two strokes back in third place was Terry’s combo of Bob McCormick, Ken Eitel, George
Bundy and Wyatt Brummett. On Saturday Terry defeated Ken Douglas in 36-holes to wrap up the 1968 Presidents Championship tourney. Harold Talbott shortstoked Dr. William Tipton to take the Seniors Championship. IBM’s Frank Bundy became the eighth man to win the Windy Hill Club Championship last week, when he defeated two former champions in the semi-
final and final round. Bundy won the 12th annual tourney by beating 1967 defending champ Ben Hoover in the
semi-finals and 19GC champ C.B. Hammond in the final 3G-holesof play. Both are 2-time title winners.

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)—Three world records were established and Laverne Hanover lost its first heat in 18 starts to provide race fans with plenty of thrills in Grand Circuit harness racing over the weekend at the Indiana State Fair.

record of 3;54 for both heats, eclipsing Speedy Scot’s 3:54 3-5 set in 1963. Nevele Pride is owned by Nevele Acres ol Allenville, N.Y., and was driven by Stanley Dancer. Rum Customer, driven by Billy Haughton, set a world mark of 3:54 for three-year-old pacers with heats of 1:58 and 1:56, which was 1-5 second better than Truce Duane’s mark in 1966.

■JN PEORIA, a distinguished newspaper editor explained
why Abe Lincoln, had he lived today, would not have had so much trouble gettting a sound education. Because of his
height, every basketball
coach in the state would be waving a scholarship
at him.
In the heyday of his success, the great French novelist Honore de Balzac was indulgently scribbling autographs for admirers at a watering resort when an elderly lady deposited a dog-eared notebook in his lap and said, “Would you glance at one or two of these compositions and tell me if you think their young author has any possibilities?” Balzac indulgently leafed through the notebook, then pontificated, "Madam, I believe in being frank. The lad who perpetrated these pieces is obviously slovenly, unimaginative, and utterly devoid of talent. Train him. to be a garbage collector, j{ you will, but don’t, I beg you, encourage him to do any more writing.” "How fascinating,” chuckled the elderly lady. "If you will turn to the name on the inside of the cover of this notebook, you will observe it was your very own when you were a little boy in Monsieur Herriot’s school!”
Restaurateur Toots Shor is noted neither for his reticence nor his inability to top an insulting patron. Sports writer Jimmy Cannon left him speechless, however, one day at the Shor establishment when every light in the joint suddenly dimmed. "Justice triumphs at last,” crowed Cannon. ‘‘They’ve electrocuted the chef!” O 1%8, by Bennett Cerf. Distributed by King Features Syndicate.

Freehan, who forgot to turn his watch back when the Tigers flew to Oakland from Detroit Sunday night, got up at 5:30 a.m., Monday morning California time because he woke up and his watch read 8:30. More than 14 hours later after catching 18 innings, the “absolutely dead tired” Freehan came to the plate in the 10th inning to face Diego Segui, who hadn’t given up an earned run in 24 2-3 innings, since Aug. 3. But Freehan slammed a homer to give the Tigers a 4-3 victory over Oakland and a doublehead, er split after the Tigers were blanked by Jim Nash 4-0 in the

CHICAGO (UPI) — Indiana, football champion of the Big Ten Conference, spent Labor Day laboring in the first contact drills of preseason practice. Coach Johnny Pont said the Hoosiers may scrimmage Wednesday. Pont established the entire offensive unit during the three days of noncontact drills. Tests are to be run today on halfback Rich Thompson of Indianapolis to determine whether he has recovered from mononucleosis. Minnesota’s all-Big Ten tackle Ezell Jones was back at practice Monday, apparently recovered from a pulled leg muscle. But linebacker Dave Nixon missed practice with a swollen knee, and tackle John Thompson was hospitalized with a stomach infection. Coach Murray Warmath shifted sophomore Fran Paquette, Superior, Wis., to split end, and moved sophomore Tom Bienamann, Wilmette, 111., from split end to flanker. Coach Ray Negel made three changes in Iowa’s defensive alignment. He moved Mike Phillips, 222-pound junior from Evanston, 111., to linebacker; Greg Allison was moved to starting guard, and guard Mike Edwards shifted ‘ to defensive tackle.
