Gamecocks' Defense Slows Bunge, But Other Marylanders Cut Loose By MERRELL WHITTLESEY i Star Staff Writer South Carolina concentrated on stopping Al Bunge last night and did a pretty good job of it. But the Gamecocks took their second-worst beating of the season as they learned Mary land is not a one-man basket ball team. The Terps rolled up an 85- 52 count as they won their third straight and boosted their season's record to 6-2 before 6,800 in Cole Fieldhouse. South Carolina built its de fenses against Bunge, who set a Maryland scoring record of 43 points against Yale earlier in the week. But a sound de fense around one man permits others to get loose, and Mary land took advantage of it. Jelus, Bechtle Score Paul Jelus, the smoothest sophomore to play for Mary land in some time, and Jerry Bechtle came up with 19 and 17-point performances as Bunge was held to 11. But Bunge was the top re-bounder, handled the ball in excellent fashion for a big man, and did a pretty good defensive job on Mike Callahan, who had a 19.3 pre-game average to Bunge's 23-point mark. Callahan made only two field goals from his favorite side-court spot and added seven for seven from the foul line for 11 points. New Combination Clicks Bob Stevens, the affable new coach of the Gamecocks from Michigan State, said the Terps overwhelmed his team off the backboards and on the fast break. "Sure, Bunge did a good job on the boards," Stevens said, "but their whole ball club was up there. Maryland is big and fast and they are good." NEW DEACON COACH EXPERIENCED First Head Job Aided Recovery From Polio WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., Jan. 9 (AP).—The Wake Forest College job Billy Hildebrand has undertaken is his first assignment as head football coach at a major school, but not his first venture as No. 1 man. Back in 1951, less than a year after he was stricken with polio, the 35-year-old native of Memphis, Tenn., was head man at Whitworth College in Spokane. Wash. Shortly after the Wake Forest trustees unanimously voted him a three-year contract yesterday as successor to Paul Aemen, who resigned to enter WEEKS-END SPORTS ON TELEVISION TODAY Basketball Syracuse Nationals vs Philadelphia Warriors, WRC—4, 1 p.m. Hockey Detroit Red Wings vs. New York Rangers.

I haven't seen a better team in the conference.” "It was just like our fourth game of the season.” Coach Bud Millikan of Maryland said. "We had to rearrange everything after we lost Charlie McNeil and Bob McDonald and the new lineup is starting to click. "We had a bad first half against Indiana the first time this club played as a unit.” Millikan said. "Since then we've looked pretty good." South Carolina had considerable height on the Yale team that gave up a record 103 points to Maryland, but the Tigers still dominated the backboards and roared down the court on the fast break. And with Bunge on Callahan and Jelus taking care of the Gamecocks’ sophomore flash, Art Whisnant, Maryland’s defense was sharper. That was the low point total of the season for the South Carolina team that has been averaging 76 points a game. Jelus is nimble enough to get wonderful position for his shots. He has scored 60 points in the last three games after showing only one for the first five, two of which he sat out. Prospects Are Good And Bruce Kelleher probably has better floor action than Jelus but lacks Paul’s shooting eye to date. With Bechtle adding his versatility and Bob Wilson lending a hand off the boards with his 6-foot-10 advantage, Maryland has one of its best looking teams in years, at least against the likes of Fodrham, Yale and South Carolina. Jerry Shanahan, who conquered the banking field, Hildebrand looked back on his Whitworth “I took that job as a test, sort of proving ground, to see whether I could stand up physically to the task after my police attack,” he recalled. Billy had graduated from Mississippi State where he had been end and captain in 1945 and gone to the assistant jobs at his alma mater and Purdue. In 1950, he moved to Tennessee and early in September, he struck. His legs were paralyzed and he said for months afterwards he was exceptionally weak. After a stay at a Knoxville hospital, he was moved to one in Memphis. Some six months after he was stricken, he began to hobble about, but still had little strength and tired quickly. Later, he went to a Colorado summer religious camp where, with additional treatment and exercise, he began to regain his health. While at the camp, he received an offer to work for a Denver engineering concern. While he was considering it, the Whitworth opportunity came along. "I just had to take it, I had to know if I could ever coach again, and this was the only way to find out," Hildebrand said. "I like all sports, but I love football." Under him, the Presbyterian school posted a 3-5 record, and after the season, he was on his way. He took the freshman job at Mississippi State in 1952, went to Minnesota in 1954 as line coach and two years later joined Amen at Wake Forest. He's completely recovered from his illness and ready to accept the challenge of what he calls a dream.ributed four twisting layups in five tries, and Pete Krukar lend valuable bench strength. The Terps' potential seems to be tremendous. Maryland's next outing is against Georgetown Wednesday night at the Hilltop. The Terps Always have trouble at Georgetown, although they usually win there. South Carolina took a chartered plane to Charlottesville where the Gamecocks meet Virginia at 1 p.m. today in a regionally televised game that will not be shown in Washington. The Terps froze made it six straight but had trouble with Fort Union, which has a 3-6 record. Bill Stasiulatis, 6-foot 3, topped the frosh with 22 points.

Ending Today, Probes Go On NEW YORK, Jan. 9 (AP).— The 54th annual NCAA convention, subtitled “Oklahoma,” today ended a week-long run on Broadway. But the final session promised to be only a curtain call for the 18-man council, the powerful ruling body that earlier slapped the University of Oklahoma with indefinite probation. The council, which also hit Tulsa with a light one-year probation, still had 11 other investigations into NCAA-member schools hanging, but it was doubtful any disciplinary action would be taken. Oklahoma, barred from post-season football games and all NCAA-controlled TV programs, theoretically could get off the hook today with a last-minute disclosure of the records of an athletic recruiting fund. Wood Keeps Records But the university, which has cooperated fully with the NCAA, does not have the records. The NCAA says they are on the possession of Arthur L. Wood of Oklahoma City, an athletic booster who has no official connection with the school. He says the NCAA isn't going to see them. Hence, the impasse until at least the next meeting of the council sometime in April. Miami Beach, Fla., now takes over the collegiate spotlight. The NCAA football rules committee meets there next week to weigh two contradictory recommendations: 1. That it adopt unlimited substitution for the 1960 season as proposed by the American Football Coaches Association. 2. That it make no substantial change in the football substitution rules, as proposed by the NCAA. The NCAA recommendation came in a surprise move on the convention floor yesterday after the football coaches had backed unlimited substitution Tuesday. Feared Excesses The Rev. W. H. Crowley, faculty representative at Santa Clara, proposed the recommendation and it was approved by the convention with a majority of 90 to 46 vote. Father Crowley said his main concern was that unlimited substitution, and the two-platoon game that it permits, leads to excessive and improper recruiting. The NCAA Football Rules Committee is in no way required to accept either recommendation, but it is believed that the majority of members on the Rules Committee are opposed to unlimited substitution. It was learned that the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference, meeting in caucus, voted 60-0 to request its four members on the committee to vote against free substitution. The Big Ten is leading the opposition fight. The Program Extended Best guess is that a mild compromise will result in Miami Beach with the present rules on substitute maximums being relaxed slightly. In other convention business yesterday, the NCAA: 1. Approved a two-year program for controlled TV of college football rather than the usual one-year setup. 2. Defeated a proposed constitutional amendment that would have put extra limits on the athletic eligibility of foreign students. 3. Approved a new football bowl game for New York City. 4. Clarified the varsity eligibility status of freshmen athletes at member schools of less than 750 enrollment. 5. Made it easier for members of colleges in Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico to schedule home games and events. 6. Approved Pittsburgh as its 1916 convention site, January. Reliefer Traded For Utilityman BOSTON, Jan. 9 (AP).—The Red Sox yesterday traded left-handed Relief Pitcher Leo Kiely to Cleveland for Ray Webster, a 22-year-old utility infielder. Webster, drafted out of the Washington farm system by the Indians in 1958, played both third and short for the Indians last season, working in 40 games but getting only 74 times at bat. The righthanded hitter had a 203 average, including two homers in his 15 hits. Kiely, 30, worked in 41 games for the Red Sox last season, all in relief. He had a 3-3 record and an earned-run average of 4.18. Friday Night Boxing To Be Dropped by NBC NEW YORK, Jan 9 (AP).— Not too long ago there were five boxing shows a week on network television. By September there may be only one, the Wednesday night program. The Friday night fights, the granddaddy of them all and the longest continuing network show of the National Broadcasting Co., will be dropped by NBC in September despite the sponsor’s desire to continue. The Gillette Safety Razor Co., which has sponsored the Friday night fights over TV for 15 years, said "We were informally advised by NBC Thursday that they did not want to carry the Friday night fights on their network after next September. We have not had time to give adequate consideration to our future course of action." Big Four Basketball Teams Favored in Games Tonight Garden and Navy See Action in Garden Tonight Georgetown and Navy take part in the Madison Square Garden basketball double-header tonight, with Navy meeting New York U. in the opener, followed by Georgetown against Manhattan. There is only one game here, with Howard host to Montclair. Others are American U. At St. Peter's, Catholic U. at Washington & Lee, and Galveston at Baltimore U. Georgetown has only a 5-5 record to take against Manhattan tonight, but it may be in its best playing form of the season. Most of the players are over or are getting over the assorted ailments that hampered them during the holidays, and they gave a peak performance last Wednesday night in upsetting George Washington, 86-82. Finding Team Play The Boys have won three of their last four games, and in those winning efforts displayed the kind of team play that's difficult to stop. Scoring was well spread, with four players in double figures in two of the games and five in double figures against GW. Manhattan has lost its last two, both to St. Joseph's of Philadelphia. It bowed, 84-70, in the first round of the Holiday Festival, and last Saturday was beaten again, 82-76, at Philadelphia. Navy's Record, 6-1 Navy takes a 6-1 record against a NYU team that roped past Fairleigh-Dickinson, 82-44, last time out. Before that, the Violets lost to St. Joseph’s in the Holiday Festival consolation game and to Iowa in the semifinals after beating Dartmouth in the first round. American is taking a 6-3 record to St. Peter's and may be favored. The Eagles beat Georgetown, which beat St. Peter's in its next game. Catholic is seeking a repeat victory over W&L, having taken the Generals, 76-62, here late last month. Dodgers List 64 Night Games LOS ANGELES, Jan. 9 (AP). —The Dodgers today announced they will play a record 64 night games in Memorial Coliseum in 1960, one more than last season. The night-game schedule is made up of 62 dates and includes two twilight-nigh double-headers, one with the Cincinnati Reds, August 26, and the other with the San Francisco Giants on Labor Day night, September 5. There will be only 13 day games, 11 of them on Sundays. The season once again will open with a night game, Tuesday, April 12, against the Chicago Cubs. The season concludes with the final eight games at home. Last season the Dodgers spent the final two weeks on the road. In 1959 the Dodgers set a club attendance record of 2,071,045, which led both leagues. Night games drew 1,677,851 in 60 dates and day games 393,194 in 14 dates. Only Seven Left On Furman Squad GREENVILLE, 8. C., Jan. 9 (AP). Furman University basketball coach Lyles Alley learned yesterday his squad is down to seven. Bill Merckel, 6-foot-9, 180-pound sophomore reserve center, has left school to return to his home in Cincinnati. Alley said he was unaware Merckel had left school. Alley had assumed Merckel had been delayed in returning from the Christmas holidays, but school officials advised the coach of Merckel’s decision to drop out. Furman's varsity squad was reduced to eight men several weeks ago when four players, three starters, left school. Vincent C. Ziegler, president of Gillette, added in the statement. “We would be most reluctant to see the end of this program.” NBC officials declined to Comment on the statement. The Friday night fight show is a $5 million-a-year package. Gillette also picks up the tab on other sports shows on NBC including the World Series, all star football games, Rose Bowl and the Kentucky Derby in horse racing. There was a possibility that the sponsor might shift to another network. The Columbia Broadcasting System dropped boxing several years ago. The American Broadcasting Co. carries the Wednesday night fights promoted by Jim Norris’ National Boxing Enterprises of Chicago. Sports A-10 Washington, D.C., Saturday, January 9, 1960 SENIOR BOWL DRAWS 40,000 Pro Coaches Watching Prospects in Mobile MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 9 (AP). —A near-soldout crowd of some 40,000 fans expected to see an aerial battle today as 50 top-flight collegians made their pro football debuts in the 11th annual Senior Bowl game. The kickoff was scheduled for 3 p.m., with the National Broadcasting Co. showing the action on a national televised program. It was a pro debut for the youngsters in the truest meaning of the word, with the winners receiving $600 and the losers $500. Coaches of both National and American Football Leagues, were here to watch boys they drafted in action. This, and the East-West game, generally, are considered the blue-ribbon pro tests. Both teams emphasized passing in yesterday's final drills. The South, coached by Weebel Ewbank of the champion Baltimore Colts, wove its offense around the throwing of Quarterback Charley Britt of Georgia. For a supporting cast, Britt had Bill Mathis of Clemson, Tom Moore of Vanderbilt, and Don Klochak of North Carolina. The North, tutored by Jim Lee Howell of the New York Giants, depended on the toss In the midst of Jack Lee of Cincinnati and Olen Treadway of Iowa, the team's running attack was between Mark May Fall and Charles Town. Today at Charles Town by JOSEPH B. KELLY, no cancellations at the current Star Racing Editor meeting. CHARLES TOWN, W. Va. Jan. 9.—Charles Town's betting record of $697,981 established here on December 26, was threatened again today with a crowd of 10,000 expected to turn out in clear, pleasant weather for the fourth week end program of the winter meeting. A speed battle was promised in the featured seventh race, a $3,000 purse at seven furlongs. The entry of Joe Serio, jr. Dr. Herb, a double stakes winner last year, and Nathan L. Cohen's Purple Prince, was a 2-to-1 favorite among the nine starters. Strong rivals were Peter Vischer's Arch Rival; Allen B. Humber's Kiperic, who equaled a track record in his last start, and the Murcain-Byars Stable’s Chan Fleet, a winner here last Saturday. The latter was top-weighted with 120 pounds, and was slated to be ridden by Larry Reynolds, leading rider of the session. A year ago on this weekend, Charles Town was able to complete only three races when the jockeys refused to ride after a four-hour spill blamed on a slippery track caused by a thaw. A crowd of 7,000 was disappointed. There have been Hillsdale and Tommy Lee Tangle at Santa Anita. By the Associated Press Hillsdale, a 1959 handicap star, and Tommy Lee, the Kentucky Derby winner a year ago, will hook up today with five other speedsters in the $50,000 added San Carlos Handicap at Santa Anita. However, a threat of rain in Los Angeles could cause owner C. W. Smith to withdraw Hillsdale from the 7-furlong dash. The Indiana-bred never has performed well on an off track. Nine horses were entered for Arlington Skater. Captures Honor LAKE PLACID, N. Y., Jan. 9 (Special).—Patrick Lalor of Arlington, Va., finished second in the juvenile men’s division of the Eastern Figure Skating championships here yesterday. Patrick, 12-year-old member of the Washington, D.C., Figure Skating Club, won the free style event and was second in figure skating. The division was won by John Coyle of Levittown, Pa. Pat also will compete in the junior pairs tomorrow. His partner will be Helen Frank of Philadelphia. The Arlington youngster is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Lalor of 1808 N. Quinn street. The elder Lalor is manager of the Marriott Motor Hotel ice skating rink in Arlington. It will take some doing to better the Senior Bowl passing record set in the inaugural game of 1950. Travis Tidwell of Auburn and Billy Wade of Vanderbilt and now with the Los Angeles Rams locked horns with little Eddie Leßaron in that one, which the South won. A total of 56 passes were thrown, 36 by the South. It compelled 24, Leßaron, then with College of Pacific and since a pro star with the Washington Redskins, connected on 14. Tidwell was voted the outstanding player for 13 completions in 19 tries for 227 yards and two touchdowns. Ewbank, fresh from directing the Colts to a second pro championship victory over the Giants, declined to forecast the outcome. He disagreed, however, with odds-makers who have established the South as 21-point favorites. Weeb said it should be the other way around because Of the North’s speed. Howell thought the odds were about right because of the South’s haver line. Fair and mild weather plus the prospect of another bang-up game, was expected to fill Ladd Stadium. Yesterday's crowd of 4,024 wagered $325,617 on the 20th program. Yesterday's sixth race produced a cavalry charge finish. The first nine horses crossed under the wire within a length and a half of one another. The winner was Bouair by a nose over Big Force. In order came Cosmic Bess, a neck behind and a nose ahead of Inquest 4th. The later was a nose in front of Paralysis, who was a neck ahead of Duke’s Reward. He in turn nosed out Quiet Power for sixth position. Quiet Power, who finished seventh, was caught by the camera a half length in front of Peregrinator, who was a half length ahead of Sky Mint, the ninth place finisher. The only horse failing to land in the picture was Chuck Thompson, some six lengths behind Sky Mint in tenth position. Horsemen here were saddened to learn of the death of owner-trainer John J. Hogan, 72, who died Thursday in Washington. Hogan campaigned a small stable on the Maryland-Delaware-West Virginia circuit for more than 30 years. A requiem mass was scheduled at 9 a.m. today at St. Joseph’s Church. The $15,000 added Broward Handicap at Tropical Park, and seven were named for the $10,000 Old Hickory Purse at the Fair Grounds. Tomy Lee, owned by Fred Turner, made his first start. At Santa Anita since last summer, recently and won. He carries 127 pounds to 130 for Hillsdale. Willie Shoemaker rides Hillsdale, with Johnny Longden aboard Tommy Lee. Fred W. Hooper's Alhambra has high weight of 123 pounds in the 6-furlong Broward Handicap. Alhambra holds the world record for 5½ fur longs on the grass. The Broward will be raced on the dirt track. John L. Applebaum's Mister Jive has 116 pound and the Morsey Stable's Peeping Tom and Peter Del Greco's War Eagle each carry 114. Roman Colonel, top weighted with 130 pounds after winning six straight, was not entered. The Broward is the final Saturday stakes at Tropical, which closes next Friday. The probable favorite for the Old Hickory at New Orleans is W. Hal Bishop's Pete's Folly, 120 pounds. Pete's Folly is an entry with Sputnik, 111. The Crabgrass Stable's Beau-guerre and Mrs. Joe W. Brown's Tenacious are next in the weights with 118 pounds apiece. The Old Hickory is over the mile and one-sixteenth route. All Are Seeking Their 12th Win of Season By the Associated Press Cincinnati, California, West Virginia and Utah—the four winningest major college basketball teams in the country all go after their 12th victory tonight and none appears to be in any great danger. Cincinnati, with Oscar Robertson, plays Tulsa in a Missouri Valley game in Tulsa. As if worrying about Robertson’s shooting prowess isn’t trouble enough, the Hurricanes have discovered they now must watch. Robertson's mates, too. In the Bearcats’ last game Thursday against Wichita, Robertson set up more points than he scored. The Hurri canes won’t know which way to look. California, beaten only a week ago after running up 25 victories in a row, will try to run its newest skein to a modest three in a date with Stanford at Palo Alto. Win in Conference The Golden Bears, NCAA champions and rated No. 2 right behind Cincinnati in the current Associated Press poll, polished off UCLA last night in a Big Five game, 59-47. Southern California, No. 10 in the ranking and the team that snapped Cal’s streak, nipped Washington, 53-52. They were the only two of the top 10 teams that played last night. West Virginia, ranked No. 3, Plays Penn State in the lair of the Nittany Lions, while Utah meets Utah State in a Skyline Conference engagement. Utah defeated Utah State twice last season en route to the crown. Cincinnati is the only one of the big boys that hasn’t been defeated. California, West Virginia and all have gone down for the count once. Bradley, No. 4, is at Wichita in another Missouri Valley contest. Important games also are on tap in the Big Ten. Southeast, Atlantic Coast and Southwest Conferences. Ohio State (8-2) and ranked No. 7 in the A. P. poll, has a fine opportunity to knock Indiana right out of the running for the Big Ten title. Hoosiers in Danger The Hoosiers were one of the hot shots favorites for the crown before the season got under way, but they fell before both Purdue and Northwestern in their first two conference starts. One more defeat and it’s cur- Another important league game sends Illinois (7-2) against Minnesota. The Illinois, ninth-ranked in the A. P. poll, has lost their only league start. They were figured to give Ohio State a battle with the demise of Indiana. Georgia Tech (9-1), sixth in the country, goes up against Mississippi State in the top Southeastern Conference game. Wake Forest (8-2), No. 8 nationally, has a date with North Carolina in Greensboro in the feature Atlantic Coast Conference engagement. Commissioner Jim Weaver scheduled the game at a neutral site hoping to avoid mayhem. Originally, it was scheduled for Wake Forest, but Weaver remembered that last year's game on the Winston-Salem campus wound up in a free for-all. Ivy League Busy Wake Forest already has beaten North Carolina in the final of the Dixie Classic. Unbeaten Texas A&M goes after its 10th straight in a SWC game with Texas Christian. Only the Ivy League and the West Coast Athletic Conference played full schedules last night. Dartmouth opened defense of its Ivy crown by defeating Cornell, 77-59, with Gary Van Deweghe and Chuck Kaufman each scoring 19 points. Brown turned back Penn, 63-62; Princeton halted Yale, 72-60, and Columbia whipped Harvard, 67-50. In the WCAC, College of the Pacific vanquished San Jose, 66-55; Pepperdine toppled Santa Clara, 59-48, and Loyola of Los Angeles crushed San Francisco, 58-44. Maryland clobbered South Carolina, 85-52, in the only game, and Oklahoma eked out a 64-62 victory over Colorado in two overtimes in the Only Big Eight game on the card. In Skyline Conference action, Wyoming drubbed New Mexico. 73-67, and Colorado State University outshot Denver, 88-70. In other games Washington State beat Montana, 87-73; Oregon took Idaho, 52-48, and Portland defeated Seattle, 72-68. Maria Bueno, Fraser Advance in Tourney ADELAIDE, Australia, Jan. 9 (AP).—Maria Bueno of Brazil reached the third round of the South Australian championships today, defeating Alice Hawkins, Australia, 6—0, 6—2.
