Motor city has dragstrip roar in winning 1st title in 23 years

By MARK STEELE Sports editor It was like David slaying Goliath or Jack cutting down the bean stalk. Like the pitching giant he is. Bob (Record) Gibson fell. Fell with a thud in the seventh game of the World Series as 28year old Mickey Lolich stood supreme after becoming the 8th major league pitcher to win three series games in a single series. I wouldn't have wanted to get near Detroit’s Woodward Avenue last night. Woodward is known as the “Indianapolis” of street drag racing. Last night it probably had more drag entries than this year’s 1500-plus that jammed Raceway Park for the annual Nationals over Labor Day weekend. Right there in the front of the pack was Sport Magazine’s “Most Valuable Player” Dodge R/T Charger winner, Mickey Lolich. Along side in his 1969 Thunderbird, awarded him for his 31-game pitching record, was Denny McLain, with his DM-31-6 Michigan license plate on the front and rear. What could be more representable of the motor city? Well, anyway that’s how I see it. No matter how you look at it, it just wouldn’t have been right that Lou Brock or Bob Gibson should have won a Detroit built car.

At least yesterday’s game proved one thing. Even though Lou Brock and Bob Gibson are superb athletes, they can be beaten. Brock was cutdown by Lolich while attempting to steal second off the left handed pitcher. Gibson gave up eight hits and four (earned) runs. But the facts and figures are there, Brock with his 13 base hits tying Bobby Richardson’s 1961 record, tying his own mark o f (7) stolen bases and 14 career steals tying Eddy Collins’ record. Brock hit safely in all seven games which gives him nine series games in a row. Gibson had his share of records too, including thirty-five strikeouts in a single series, most consecutive wins (7) most complete games (7) most strikeouts in one game (17) and most home runs (2) by a pitcher in a series play. Also in the spotlight was Roger Maris, noted for his 61 home runs in a single season (1961) and playing his last major league game. Detroit’s Ed Mathews also gained attention calling it quits while ranked fifth on the all-time home run list. Two of the major reasons for the Detroit comeback was veteran right fielder A1 Kaline and centerfielder Jim Northrup (Mr. Longball Hitter).

Said Manager Mayo Smith after yesterday’s victory, “I knew we were going to win the series when A1 hit that single to score the go-ahead runs in the fifth game when we won 5-3. We’d been coming from behind all year. I knew we could do it.” Helping Kaline was Northrup who had three hits off Gibson, on a homer Sunday at Detroit and a triple and single yesterday that tied him and Kaline for most runs-batted-in, in the series with eight. For the fifth time this decade the winning team won away from home. It probably was just as well since the Detroit fans would have annihilated Tiger Stadium. The Lions would have had to find another place to finish their football season. This year’s hard-luck award should go to Dal Maxvill for his 22 times at bat without a hit. Dal played his third World Series without making an error. For the Record Games 7, at bats, 239-231, St. Louis; runs, 34-27 Detroit; hits, 61-36 St. Louis; doubles, 7-4 St. Louis; triples 3 each; home runs, 8-7 Detroit; RBI’s, 33-27 Detroit; walks 27-21 Detroit; strikeouts 59-40 Detroit; putouts 186 each; assists 73-47 Detroit.

Webb, will preach in both the morning and evening services. The added space of the church’s buildings will be utilized by classes from nursery through grade 6, with individual rooms for each age group. Remodelled areas in Bethany House, the Christian education unit dedicated in 1951, will be used for Junior High and Senior High youth lounges. The two youth groups will meet for Sunday morning church school in their respective lounges, and assemble for Chi Rho (Junior High) and Christian Youth Fellowship (Senior High) meetings Sunday evenings. Designed by the architectural firm of Pecsok, Jelliffe and Randall of Indianapolis, the new addition continues the motif of the original brick structure housing the congregation's sanctuary. Thus there has been retained some of the old and much appreciation for modern trends in design and utility of functional buildings. General contractors have been Pearson Construction Company, Inc., of Indianapolis. The company’s superintendent at the site is Harlan Mitchell, Plainfield. In addition to the 10 classrooms and remodelled nursery, a suite of offices for administrative per. sonnel has been interpreted for the best inter-communication, while allowing ample opportunity for work, study and counselling areas. Adjoining the church office is a work room for storage of supplies, and necessary equipment to serve the 655 resident members of the church. Each of the congregation’s ministers has an office off the upper narthex, and share a retreat in the balcony area. This room, set off from “traffic”, is designed for study and consultations. Also in the balcony is a conference room, which contains the ministers’ libraries, and thus serves as another study room for the church’s staff and member, ship. The Woodrum Library, recently named by action of the General Board of the congregation, is part of the upper narthex. One of the most exciting highlights of this area is the stained glass window now visible from the sanctuary and narthex, and the John B. Boyd memorial, a 13-foot sculptured creation of Richard E. Peeler, a member of the congregation and Associate ProfesContinued on page 3

Kicks off symposium speeches

Hook slaps at University involvement in violence

‘Special to the Banner’ Sidney Hook, recently retired head of the department of Philosophy of New York University, lashed out today at the role uni. versities are playing in civil disobedience riots when he opened a two day “Symposium on Law, Liberty and Progress” at DePauw University. Hook, speaking from Bowman Gym at 10 a.m., was the first Youth darts after football, struck by car The football bounced into the street. An eight-year-old boy went after it. Neither football nor youngster were any match for an approaching automobile. City police said last night Sherm L. McKee, Jr. son of Mr. and Mrs. Sherm McKee, 834 E. Washington darted out into the street and was hit by a car yesterday evening. The boy was taken to the Putnam County Hospital for bruises, abrasions, and a fractured left leg. The driver of the auto was Soren J. Gram, 38, of 819Stadium Drive. She was driving a station wagon. The accident occured at 5:05 p.m. at 907 E. Washington.

of four major speakers including Gary, Mayor Richard Hatcher, Charles Malik, former president of the General Assembly of the United Nations, and MeGeorge Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation and former White House Assistant to President John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Hatcher spoke later this morning on the subject, “Law, Liberty and Progress in relation to Minorities, Poverty and the Cities.” Malik will speak yet tonight at 7:30 p.m. on “Problems of World Peace.” Hook, Hatcher and Malik and Bundy will all participate in a panel discussion at 8:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend the various speaking sessions. Bundy will speak at 10 a.m. tomorrow on “How to Build a Greater America.” Hook, reading from a prepared text, rejected student outbreaks on the campus at Berkeley and Columbia University as a misconception of civil disobedience and confusion between knowing the difference between human rights and property rights. “The university is not a political community. Its business is not government but the discovery, publication and teaching of the truth. Its authority is based not on numbers or the rule of the majority but on knowledge,” he said. “Although it can function in a

spirit of democracy, it cannot be organized on the principle of one man, one vote, or if it takes its educational mission seriously, of equal vote for student and faculty in the affairs of the mind or even with respect to organizational and curricular continuity. The fact that a society is politically organized as a democracy does not entail that all its other institutions be so organized, -its families, its orchestras, museums, theaters, churches and professional guilds. “I think that we may expect that all the institutions in a political democracy function in a democratic spirit, and by that

I mean that all participants of any institution should be regarded as persons, should be heard, listened to and consulted with. But the responsibility for decision cannot be shared without equaling inexperience with experience, ignorance with expertness, and childishness with maturity. “The assumption of a political democracy is that there are no experts in wisdom, that each citizen’s vote is as good as any other’s. If we make the same assumption about universities, we may as well shut up educational shop.” Hook said that in the past we used to believe that we could turn for intellectual guidance to our colleges and universities as relatively disinterested centers of inquiry in the matters of law and liberty and their place in a free, democratic society. “But alas. Colleges and universities have themselves become embattled, storm centers of controversy not only about the presuppositions of the democratic process, but about the nature and goals of the university. “Instead of the colleges and universities functioning as centers of enlightenment to a bewildered and distraught population, because of what has occurred on their campuses they have become objects of revulsion and disgust to large numbers, and strengthened the furies of backlash and reaction.” Hook criticized universities for Continued on Page 7

Charles Evers will appear at DePauw Monday

‘Students against Racism, a newly formed organization at DePauw, will sponsor“White Awareness Week,” between Oct. 14 to 19. Charles Evers, Mississippi state field secretary of the NAACP and brother of slain Medger Evers is scheduled to speak in Greencastle Monday at 8 p.m. in Gobin Methodist Church. The announcement was made by Laura Landrum, co-chairman of “White Awareness Week”. She said the purpose of the week’s activities is to clarify the too-often overlooked role of the white population in the struggles of the black man in America. She said through the speakers and discussions, the organization is striving to dramatize the statement in the Kerner Commission Report, “white society is deeply

implicated in the ghetto.” “Our purpose is educational. We wish to challenge current beliefs, stimulate real thought and discussion, and encourage creative solutions and action,” She said. The Rev. James Lawson of the Centenary United Methodist Church of Memphis will appear on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at Gobin. Lawson was expelled (but ultimately reinstated) from Vanderbilt University in 1961 because he was an organizer of the first sit-in movement of the civil rights campaign there. The late Dr. Martin Luther King called him the leading nonviolent theorist and strategist in t h e country, claims Miss Landrum. The director of CORE in Harlem, Victor Solomon will be in Greencastle for a Thursday

night appearance at 8 p.m. in Menarry Hall. He will concentrate his remarks on the explosive ghetto situation. In addition to the speakers, an award-winning documentary film on the Kerner Commission Report will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the CAM building. A presentation will be given by a student group at 8 p.m. in Menarry Hall on Friday, Oct. 18. Evers was one of four Negroes elected to the Mississippi state’s 68 man delegation to the Democratic National Convention this past summer. He resigned from the position saying that he didn’t want to be used as a pawn by state party leaders. He subsequently became one of the leaders of the delegation (coalition of black and whites) that success-

fully challenged the regular Mississippi delegation and was seated on the convention floor. He was the Mississippi state cochairman of Robert Kennedy’s presidential campaign. Evers was with the Kennedy party when the senator was killed in June. Evers’ brother was killed in June of 1963. Charles said that they had had an agreement, that if anything happened to either one, the other would carry on the civil rights struggle. Evers immediately left his position as a Chicago businessman when his brother was killed and returned to his native Mississippi. He filled his brother’s vacated position as state field secretary of the NAACP. Evers has organized many voter Continued on Page 2 4

Zoning Board delays action on 2 cases

BY BILL BOYD Staff Reporter The Greencastle Board of Zoning Appeals continued two cases last night until a special Oct. 24 session and discussed inspection of city properties. Robert Brewster, County Road 125 W., requested additional time to secure an attorney and complete preparation of his request for a special zoning variance. Brewster has operated an auto repair shop on the old Rockville Road northwest of Greencastle since the May of 1963. His business is in a zoned residential and agricultural area. “I’ve never had any trouble until the city had all that dump trouble and people found out they could complain,” Brewster said. He is referring to citizens who complained to city officials about the location of a landfill dump. Brewster claims complaints have been recorded against him because he sometimes has an old car or two parked near his shop. He said he gets parts off the vehicles. He said there are no other businesses around him. He will have to obtain a special variance to allow him to have his property changed from its present zoning to business. He said he was obtaining an attorney. Citizens objecting to the business can view their opinions at the Oct. 24 meeting. The zoning board last night allowed the violation to continue until the proper appeal will be made at the Oct. 24 meeting. The violation was presented to the board by city engineer Clifford Norton. A second request for a change in zoning by Mrs. Erica Rafat, 715 Highridge, was viewed by the board and continued to Oct. 24. She had inquired about seeking a variance concerning a boutique

to be operated in her home. Mrs. Rafat told the Banner today that she now has no intention of seeking such a variance and was surprised that the matter came up before the zoning board. “I only inquired about what the process would be in seeking a change,” she said. She said that the city engineer informed her of a subdivision restriction that might prevent her from establishing a business in a residential area. Continued on Page 7 Robbins in Everyman David Robbins of Greencastle will star tonight in DePauw University’s production of the drama, “Everyman.” Performances of the medieval morality play will be presented Thursday -Friday-Saturday at 8:15 p.m. in Speech Hall under the auspices of Duzer Du, acting honorary. Robbins, a Greencastle High School graduate and a sophomore at DePauw, has the Friday night lead. He will appear at the two other performances in the roles of “Fellowship and Death”. “Everyman” and its highly symbolic plot represents a number of innovations in DePauw theatre. The production is the work, first of all, of Professor James Elrod’s acting class. Each of the 14 class members will appear in three different roles, one each night. Furthermore, original signature music composed by DePauw senior Bob Crane has been pretaped, utilizing period instru ments—the harpsichord, French horn, flute and timpani. The set for the play has been adapted from t h e last Putnam County Playhouse Production. Abstract, it is illuminated by what Elrod calls symbolic sylized lighting. Continued on Page 7
