Shortridge Shuffles Relays To Give Roosevelt a Run

Wood,Muncie, Richmond Bring Record-Topper A pair of record-breakers were expected to lead Wood in a strong bid for Regional IHSAA honors on Friday at Tech. Dick Davis broke both dash marks at the Washington Sectional last week. His :09.9 for the 100 and :22.1 for the 220 stamped him as one of the fastest men in the state. Teammate Wilbert Winston set a 22-634 record in the ' broad jump, also one of Hoosierland’s t o p performances this year. Others in the Woodchuck delegation were Frank McGrone in both the dashes; Ledale Johnson in the broad jump; Jim Suits, shot put; and the crack 880 relay team of Davis, Johnson, Gene Jones and McGrone. Also moving up from the Washington Sectional were Alan Nuckols of Howe and Lonnie Radford of Washington in the century, and Leon Carter of Manual in the halfmile. THE LARGEST CONTINGENTS were sent here by Richmond, with 12 athletes and both relay teams qualifying, and Muncie Central, with 13 and its 880 relayists. Both are strongly interracial schools. Leading the Bearcats were Jim Nettles of basketball fame,

By CHARLES S. PRESTON As the Regional round of the state high school track tournament comes up, Gary Roosevelt looks like a shoo-in for the championship. But Shortridge isn't about to carry any-

body's "shoos."

Regional meets were slated for Friday afternoon. May 13, at Tech, Gary, Bloomington University and Ft. Wayne North Side. Here at Tech, quoliters from the Sectionals at Muncie, Richmond, Indianapolis Washington and Tech were to start

their trials ot 2 p. m.

A couple of weeks ago we droolingly expected the half-mile relay teams of Shortridge and Wood to run off their City Meet time-tie in the Regional. But that’s not to be. Shortridge Coach Roy Aberson took a long look into the tournament future and then delibertely broke up his fast half-mile squad, in order to strengthen his mile foursome. In other words, he put all his

eggs in one quartet.

So the Satan half-mile team— three freshmen anchored by a slightly disgusted Lou Williams— finished nowhere in the Sectional tourney. But the mile foursome of Jerry King, Albert Evans, John Knapp and Sylvester Williams breezed home in 3:28 to smash the

all-time record!

Satans Fastest Ever? Was Shortridge’s mile relay time of 3:28 the fastest ever posted in a Sectional meet in

Indiana?

It probably was. The only better mark on the books is a 3:26 racked up by Ft. Wayne North in 1941 on its old track, which most cinder experts will tell you was short. who turned in a sizzling :19.5 low hurdles last week, and John Smith who sailed to a 22-1 OVi broad jump. Othe Muncie blue-ribbon winners were Ron Williams, 220; Henry Murphy, 440 (tied with Steve Henning of Madison Heights); Mike Schranz, 880; Don Ross, high hurdles: Cornelius Dollison, high jump (tied with Ron Pease of Royerton); Bill Keep, shot put, and the halfmile relay squad of Nettles, Bill McCormick, Mike O’Niel and Wil-

liams.

RICHMOND’S RICKY KING and Gary Froebel’s J. D. Smith both tied the state-wide Sectional record for the 220 of :21.8, set by Bill Satterfield of Richmond in (Continued on Page 8)

THIS BIT OF strategy probably cost Shortridge the Sectional crown, which was won by North Central. But it made the Blue Devils solid contenders for the State finals The Satan time was far-and-away the best in Hoosierland this year and well ahead of Roosevelt’s 3.29.6. And a couple of the Shortridge runners looked as if they could have gone much faster if they’d been at all pushed. Aberson who doubles as a teacher of U. S. History, may have got the idea from Abraham Lincoln’s debates with Stephen A. Douglass. Lincoln’s strategy lost him the 1858 election for L. S. Senator, but ensured Douglass’ defeat two years later for the Presidency. Ask the coach about it, fellows. Other qualifiers for Shortridge were Knapp, who rapped Snapp (Dave) or Broad Ripple in the halfmile and set a 1:58.3 record while doing it: Evans, 1st in the 100 at :30.2 and 4th in the broad jump: Sylvester Williams, 2nd in the quarter-mile; Ray Sattei field, 2nd in the broad jump; Tom Pricha-d. 2nd in the shot put and Lou Williams, 3rd in the high jump. TECH ALSO QUALIFIED 7 in dividuals and a relay team. Bill Barnett came from behind to win at the tape in the low hurdle*, in 20.4. He was 2nd in the highs. Larry Danville tied for 1st in the high jump for the Greenclads, while Leroy Kinchlow won the toss for 3rd place in the same event. Sophomore McKenzie Brown was 3rd in the broad jump and Dennis Edwards tied for 2nd in the pole vault. Ralph Wilkinson was 3rd in the shot put. Tech’s 830 relav squad of Tim Brown, Ron Barlow, Mike Drane and Barnett placed 2nd. FOR ATTUCKS, Isadore Robinson was 4th in both dashes to qualify for the Regional. The Tiger half-mile relay team won its section of the divided lace handily, but when times were compared could get no better than 4th. Nuptown Dodgers Open at Brazil Frozen out by ihe Weather Man last Sunday, the Naptown Dodgers will open their season with a game at 2:30 Sunday at Brazil. Willie Cornett and William Rogers will be the starting battery. The Dodgers will also play at Brazil the following Sunday, May 22 On the weekend of May 28-29-30, the Naptown club will host the Cincinnati Tigers in a four-game series at Douglass Park. There will be single games on Saturday i and Monday, and a double-header Sunday.

Major League 'Alumni' Playing for High Minors

By BILL BROWER For ANP The signing and subsequent release of Larry Doby by Toronto of fhe International League got this fellow to thinking what has become of former tan major leaguers who still are

playing baseball.

(Doby was given his outright release Monday after X-rays reportedly showed deterioration of the bone around o pin which had been placed in his left ankle. His dislocated the ankle at

San Diego last Auoust.

(Lorry said he will return to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore for treatment and is still determined to play base-

By all odds Doby, first tan performer in the American League, is the most notable of the major league alumni, but there are other well-known names among them. Some of them spent several years in the big time, while others had only a

fleeting opportunity.

MARQUEZ COMING: One of the most-traveled players of the majors and high minors is Luis Marquez, due in with Dallas-Ft. Worth to play the Indians at Victory Field this weekend, Friday through a double-header Sunday. The slugging outfielder has performed for Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and the Chicago Cubs.

CHICAGO (ANP) — Here in the Windy City they are telling the story of how Orestes “Minnie” Minoso’s shiny new automobile was deserted on U. S. 41 at Indiana 2 recently. It all started when the fleet outfielder of the Chicago White Sox engaged a friend to drive his car from Sarasota, Fla., to Chicago for him at the end of spring training. Minnie himself traveled by plane to Chicago. His driver did all right until he reached a filling station near Belshaw, Ind., in southern Lake County. There, for some reason, he deserted the car on the highway. It was later discovered by deputy sheriffs, who theorized the driver may have run out of both gasoline and money and decided to hitch a ride the rest of the way. The deputies informed the White Sox public relations department, which arranged for the car to be picked up. Thus when Minoso arrived here for the Sox’ season opener, the automobile was waiting for hirn. HE EVIDENTLY WASN’T too disturbed by the mishap, for he had a great day at the plate and in the field. He hit two home runs, one a grand-siammer, and drove in J runs. He also made two gamesaving defensive plays.

Curry Named to North All-Stars FORT WAYNE — Willie Curry, sharpshooting pivot aee of Fort Wayne Central’s state semifinalist Tigers, has been named to the North Indiana All-Stars who will meet the South in a series of basketball games next month. The 6-2 center hit 38 percent of his field-goal attempts for the season. His best game was against Waterloo in the regional tournament, when he zeroed 12-for-19 from the field and»scored 29 points. After North-South contests at Fort Wayne and Evansville, a composite team will be chosen to play Ohio’s All-Stars on June 23 at Fort Wayne.

By CHARLES S. PRESTON "What's alt this I hear about Billy Besmanoff saying he's going to run me out of town?" Archie Moore asked on arriving in Indianapolis Wednesday. "I'm glad to know his speed is good," the world's lightheavyweight champion smiled in a bantering tone. "That way he can keep ahead of me—because I'll be right behind him." Greeted at the airport by a group of boxing figures and old friends, Archie traveled in a motorcade to the Circle and then to the Fall Creek YMCA. There he is training for his “American heavyweight championship” bout with Besmanoff at the Coliseum on Wednesdav. May 25. “Is feels good to be back in Indianapolis,’' the champ slid, and went on to give a clue to his mnch-discussed age. “I remember coming here when I was a kid of 19—in 1936.“ If Archie is as shifty in the ring as he was in reaching the airport, Besmanoff had better look out. the welcome delegation expected him on a plane from Chicago which arrived at 8:34. As the passengers came out of the plane, three men unfurled a large banner reading- “WELCOME HOME CHAMP. Archie Moore — World’s Light-Heavyweight Champion.” TV and newspaper photographers trained their cameras. Finally, after the last passenger had descended, famed manager Jack “Doc” Kearn* horded the plane and confi-med zTir> had news that Moore was not there. He arrived half ai hour later, genial and ^ml'ing, on a plane from Del oft First to greet him was an old, friend. Detective Sgt. James Rogers. Archie’s expanded w;>i<-tiine indicated that his trainer, Hiawatha Gray—who was in the welcoming crowd—has his work cut out to bring the champ down to shape. LEAVING THE PLANE Moore paused to autograph the carst of 2-year-old Matthew DeHaven of Evansville, a plane traveler, who is recovering from a broken bone. The youngster cried till his mother, M^s William DeHaven, came to hold him. Then Little Matthew proved a great camera subject by holdup his clenched right fist. Others in the welcoming group included Arch Hindman, national NBA secretary; A1 Farb, promoter of the fight; PAL Officer A1 Sheridan; Joe Louis Ellis, publicity aide: Matthew Dickerson and Officer William Cobb, who led the motorcade.
