State issues schedule for park facilities

A new schedule of outdoor recreation fees and charges is announced by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, effective at state-operated properties January 1. The changes are expetced to provide additional revenue to help operate the properties under the same policy of “user charge” which was established when the Indiana State Park system was begun 52 years ago. Continued without change is the $10 annual entrance permit, which admits the purchaser and all occupants of his non-commercial-type automobile to all State Parks and State Memorials an unlimited number of times throughout 1969. This annual pass started in 1968 is described as “America’s biggest recreation bargain.” The daily single vehicle charge, for a driver and all passengers in a non-commercial type vehicle or a horse with a single rider, is increased from $1 to the new fee of $1.25 at all State Parks. Unchanged at State Parks is the daily entrance fee of 25 Winning Coach is out of job LOS ANGELES (UPI) - George Allen, a winning football coach, is without a job today because of a “personality clash” with volatile Dan Reeves, principal owner of the Los Angeles Rams. Allen, head man of the Rams for three successful seasons, and numerous other people in the pro football club’s organization were shocked when Reeves abruptly fired him Thursday. The 46-year-old coach received a telephone call from Reeves early in the day advising him he was fired and would be paid off on the two remaining years of his contract. It’s estimated Allen got in the neighborhood of $50,000 a year. After Reeves, a sometimes moody man, dropped his bombshell, Allen said wryly, “This came as a surprise Christmas present. After the record we had, I don’t understand it.” Reeves almost apologetically announced the firing through the club’s publicity staff and called Allen “a great coach and a fine family man.” Allen coached the Rams to a 10.3-1 season in 1968, good enough for second place behind Baltimore in the coastal division of the National Football League. In his first year with the Rams as head coach— 1966— he had an 8-6-0 record, the first winning season for the club in seven years. In 1967, the Rams won the Coastal Division with an 11-1-2 record. They Ipst the Western Conference playoff to the Green Pay Packers. * Allen said he had no idea where he would coach next season. Reeves gave no hint as to whether or not he had a successor in mind. The coach said he had not talked to the owner since the Rams beat the New York Giants on Nov. 24. They had some harsh words after that game according to observers in the Ram dressing room. Allen was miffed because Reeves had rebuked him publicly for criticizing the sloppy field at Kezar Stadium where the San Francisco Forty Niners tied the Rams the Sunday before. Reeves had issued a statement to sports writers saying he didn’t think it was within the province of a coach to speak harshly of an opponent’s playing field. Allen should not have much trouble finding a job. His record with the Rams over three seasons was 29-1-3.

cents for one person 12 years of age or older when he is a passenger on a commercial-type vehicle, or a pedestrian, or riding a bicycle. State-owned boats were formerly rented for 50 cents per hour, and $2 for a 12-hour day, with a $2 deposit required for boat and oars. The schedule is unchanged for boats 15 feet or under in length, but it will be $1 per hour and $3 per 12hour day for longer rented craft. State-owned canoes will continue to be rented for $1 per hour, but the 12-hour day rental is increased from the former $2.50 to a new $3 fee. A cartop carrier may be rented for 50 cents per 12 hours. The former 25-cent rental fee for life preservers, rings or cushions is increased to 50 cents each, with the deposit increased fronj 50 cents to $2. Indiana law requires that each person in a boat, regardless of its size, must have a life-saving device. The state-rented devices hereafter will be available only for state-owned boats or canoes, which means that other boaters must bring their own life preservers. Hereafter privately-owned boats must pay $1 per day for ramp launching, or $5 for an annual permit. Former fees were 25 cents per day for launching and bank tie, $1 per day for launching at attended ramps, and $5 for the annual permit. When they are available at state-owned docks, mooring buoys may be rented (as formerly) for $1 per day per boat, or $5 per week. The annual fee per season per boat is increased from $35 to $50.

No privately-owned toboggans are permitted on the Pokagon State Park chute. New charges— double those formerly—will be $1 per hour plus 10 cents per person per ride. Snowmobiles may be rented at the Pokagon Saddle Barn. There are also certain recreation buildings available for rental at several State Parks, and field trial facilities at Versailles State Park. New rates are also in effect for family housekeeping cabins at Lincoln State Park, McCormick’s Creek State Park, Shakamak State Park, and La Salle State Fish and Game Area. Campsite charges have been increased from $1.50 (class A) and $1 (class B) per night to $2.50 and $2. A new Class C schedule will be $1.50 per campsite per night.

ADELAIDE, Australia (UPI) —The United States regained the Davis Cup for the first time in five years Friday when Californians Bob Lutz and Stan Smith thrashed Australia’s John Alexander and Ray Ruffels, 6-4, 6-4, 6-2, in what may be the last all-amateur format of this 68-year-old competition. The Americans disposed of the inexperienced Australian team in one hour and seven minutes. The straight - set triumph coupled with singles victories by Arthur Ashe of Richmond, Va., and Clark Graebner of New York gave the Yanks an insurmountable lead in the best three-our-of-five match series.

Ashe beat Ruffels and Graebner defeated Bill Bowrey in blustery weather Thursday making today’s doubles match before a gallery of about 4,000 fans in the Memorial Drive stands a must for the Austra-

lians.

Two single matches remain Saturday—Graebner versus Ruf. fels and Ashe against Bowrey— but they will be little more than exhibition matches. U.S. captain Donald Dell refused to celebrate the Cup vietory Friday night and said he would like to make it a 5-0 sweep, “We’d love to win five-nil because no American team has managed this since 1948,” Dell

said.

Harry Hopman, the wily longtime team manager of Australia, attempted to avert disaster by inserting the untested Alexander in his doubles lineup, replacing Bowrey. Alexander, the junior Wimbledon champion, is only 17 years old, making him the youngest Australian ever to compete in the Challenge Round. However, he has one of the strongest serves in amateur tennis. Ruffels had never played before with Alexander and the two were mismatched against Smith and Lutz, the University of Southern California teammates who are regarded as the best amateur doubles team in the world. After taking the first two sets in relatively short order, the U S. required only 17 minutes to complete the tout. Ruffels lost his serve on the first game of the third set and Lutz made it 2-0 before Alexander held. Smith, the steadiest player on the court, opened up his cannonball service to hike the U.S. advantage to 3-1. After Ruffels dropped his service again, Lutz held to make ti 5-1 and then Smith clinched it on his service. This was the 20th Davis Cup victory for the United States, only two less than Australia. In the meantime, delegates from the Big Four of tennis— the United States, Australia, England and France—were to meet here Friday night to discuss a formula for opening the Davis Cup to professionals.
