Leipsic continued their unbeaten
streak by sinking the Bluffton Pi-
rates 68-48 last Wednesday. 1t did
seem surprising that a club could
play as poorly as the Vikings did
at times and still own an unbeat-
en- record.
Spotty as they were, the Vik-
ings overwhelmed the Pirates in
the first and third periods, build
ing a solid foundation which the
Pirates failed to tear down with
a q point fourth quarter.
Leipsic led 12-0 before the
blighted Pirates scored when Ken
Logan hit a push shot from the
right corner with only 1:20 to
play in the first period.
Leipsic was ineffective in the
field in the opening minutes but
a scrappy defense led by hustling
Dick Mangas forced the Pirates
into a repeated string of turnov-
ers. Bluffton didn't get a shot
from the field in the first four
minutes of the game.
The Vikings extended their lead
to 21-9 at the mid-point of the
second quarter before Bluffton
unloaded their guns and cut the
lead to 23-18 at the end of the
half.
Careless in the first half, the
Vikings took great pains to elm
mate the Pirates as soon as the
third quarter began. They scored
six straight points, gave George
Burkholder a field goal, then put
in five more quick ones. BY the
end of the quarter they led 46-
27, outscoring the Pirates 1923.
Key to their success was hus-
ky Bob Wyant, who suddenly
found himself alone under the
basket and began banging in lay
ups, seasoned with a few jump
shots from the foul line. He scor-
ed 20 of his 25 points in the sec
ond half. Wyant hit IL of Is from
the field for the night, including
10 of II in the second half.
Leipsic ended up the night with
26 of SIS from the field. Their
second half effort was a hot .615,
with 16 of 26.
Buck Schiffke, almost casual
in his efforts in the first quar-
ter, returned to lead the Pirates
in the last quarter, driving in for
four layups and setting up other
shots for his mates. Chuck Bab-
er also hit four backets as he
moved along the road to a game
leading IS points.
Bluffton hit q points in the
fourth quarter and cut the lea
to 58-46 with three minutes to
play but the Vikings ratified of
10 straight points to wrap up the
game.
Pirate shooting, far off base in
their opening games, was helped
by good performance from

had their best night of the sea

ter. Leipsic had outscored Bluff

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (AP).-
The Cincinnati Royals have
lost the winning touch with
defeats in their last three games
but the head Royal, Jack ivy
man. continues to lead National
Basketball Association scorers.
League statistics released to-
day show Twyman with 227
points in six games-a 37.8
average. His per game pace is
second to fabulous Wilt Cham
berlain of the Philadelphia
Warriors, but Wilt has played
only two games SO far, averag-
ing 39.5. AS an indication of
his kind of scoring, even though
the others have played twice or
three times as many games,
Chamberlain still ranks seventh
in total points.
Russell Is Third
On the total point basis
which determines the scoring
champion, Twyman has opened
a good lead over Elgin Baylor
of Minneapolis, who has clicked
for 1853 points in five games.
Bill Russell of the champion
Boston Celtics, stepping up his
scoring this season, is third
with 81 points in four starts.

( MIAMI. Fla, Nov. 3 (AP).-
Three oft-defeated Florida COL
lege football coaches have re-
ceived the effigy treatment from
unhappy fans.
Bob Woodruff was found
"buried" yesterday on the Uni
versity of Florida campus at
Gainesville. Perry Moss of
Florida State was hanged in
effigy at Tallahassee. At the
University of Miami, a dummy
lambasting Andy Gustafson was
propped up in the doorway of
q fraternity shop.
Teams of all three coaches
lost week end games.
Florida was a 60 victim of
Auburn, giving it season rec
ord Of three defeats and three
victories and one tie. Miami
was upset, 22-3, by Kentucky
and has a 3-3 record. Florida
State was beaten, 42-O, by
Georgia and has now lost four
games in seven tries.

The GuStafson effigy carried
the legend: Here lies Mickey
Mouse Gus-to him we show

The sign referred to Quar-

At Woodruff's grave" a sign
read: Here lies Woodhead-

The epitaph made reference
to the Auburn game when with

Fullback John Macbeth up the
middle for a half-yard loss
and then tried three straight
passes, all of which fell in

Pugh, q 5-foot-11 179-pound

Inc Dig problem IN Cele-
vising any golf event is limiting
the field" Demaret feels. "In
an event like the Tournament
of Champions, with a small
number of players, TV can pick
up virtually the entire field
within its allotted air time.
And with dual sponsorship of
the tournament and the tele-
vision, pairings can be arranged
so as, to put the potential win
Iner before the cameras at the
most desirable time" y
In the past the networks and
sponsors have run into difficulty
with tournament committees
who refused to juggle the field
for TV purposes.
Demaret by no means advo-
Gates a return to nothing but
the small tournaments of years
ago, and he realizes such a
structure would not be work.
able for the Masters, National
Open. PGA or other big pres
tige tournaments.
VardOn Points as Basis
He does feel, however, that
those interested in presenting
several good live telecastS of
golf tournaments should con-
slider the dual sponsorship plan
with entries by invitation.
One means of selecting en-
trants could be by basing
eligibles on the Vardon Trophy
point standings. The Vardon
Trophy annually goes to the
pro with the lowest average
strokes per round in PGA COM
petition.
Demaret, at 48. a veteran
of more than 20 years on the
pro circuit, is former Vardon
winner and a natural as q TV
commentator.
Midway in the hour-long
filmed matches he holds a 60
second instructional period in
which the competitors aid in
demonstrating golfing tech
nique.
AS a veteran golfer turned
commentator, Jimmy also en-
joys the advantage of being
able to tell the viewer what
to watch before the shot,
rather than point out what a
fan should have seen.
Demaret will say, Watch
his shoulders when he swings,
follow the club and keep an
eye on how smooth the back
stroke is" Then, if the shot
is not successful, Demaret car
tell where the golfer went
wrong.

Don Nesseth, a former used
car salesman, yesterday hung
a $125,000 price tag on a hall
interest in Don Jordan, the
welterweight champion, when
he and Jordan announced that
they aren't happy together.
Jackie Mccoy holds the

willing to let Mccoy take over
Nesseth was willing, too-but
only for $125.00O.
Although neither Jordan nol
Nesseth went into details OF
their difficulties, each said he
was dissatisfied with present

"Nesseth has made fights
for me without telling me, and

that I did not know anything

said he would not fight while
Nesseth is his co-manager.

BUT FIELDS MUST BE LIMITED
Demoret Says Live N
Of Golf Can Be Improved

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (AP).-
Live telecasts of golf can be
improved, Jimmy Demaret
saws. but only through a modi-
fication of the tournament
structure.
"If the fields are limited and
the sponsors are willing to back
both the tournaments and the
TV." Demaret says, "live tele-
casts of tournaments can all be
as exciting as the Tournament
of Champions was in 1858"
In that tournament Stan
Leonard and Billy Casper. play
ing in the same twosome, bat
tied right to the 18th green
with Leonard the winner and
Casper second. TV fans saw the
entire finish.
But it was one of the few
times they did. Golf on TV has
a history of tournament win
ners finishing before the tele-
casts start. of one golfer being
so far in front that no sus-
pense was possible, and of end
less award giving and congrat-
ulationS when the winner is
decided with a. half hour or
more of air time remaining.
Adds Much to Programs
These deficiencies of live TV
golf have been spotlighted by
the weekly filmed TV series
"All-Star Golf" now in its
third year on the ABC network.
Demaret. with previous expert
ence in live golf TV, has taken

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
By'DIcK sLAY


It must have been an alarm
ing rumor as it circulated Sum
day during dedication cere-
monies at new st. Johns. It
also was very much q distor-
tion.
This particular rumor had It
that construction Of the
schools $500,000 gymnasium
had been Cancelled by a District
planning commission. Actually.
permission had been denied to
build the gym north of the
parking lot. where st. Johns
people believe it is ideally suit
ed.s
According to the schools at
torney, eve neighbors have
objected to the gymnasium
being erected north Of the park
ing lot because Of its nearness
| to Twenty-seventh street, and
the alleged increase in noise to
the area.
In q letter received last FRI
day, the Districts Board Of
Zoning Control informed the
school that permission was
denied to build on the other
side of the parking lot, sug-
gesting an alternate site adja-
cent to and northeast Of the
school furnace room.
However, the letter pointed
out that two board members
dissented with the ruling on
the grounds that the new site
would not solve the problem Of
nuisance to the neighborhood.
+ -
The st. Johns people, who
are meeting today to discuss
an appeal, agree with the dis
senters. They contend 1t is the
parking lot, not the gym,
which will cause any undue
racket.
It is estimated that the lot
will handle about 800 cars. But
isn't it much better to put these
300 autos in an off-street lot
than in front of surrounding
homes? Ask the neighbors of
other schools.
Building the gymnasium on
the south side of the parking
area would increase the cost
and waste money already spent,
it is pointed out.
Utilities worth $4,000 have
been laid under the asphalt
lot with the intention of hook
ing up with the gym. The
other site Is on a slope and
would require a more expen-
sive foundation.
Then, too, there isn't ade-
quate room at the other loca-
ton to avoid the gyms inter-
fering with the football and
drill fields.
Whatever the result, the
hassle is costing valuable time.
The st. Johns basketball
team this winter will practice
in the auditorium, with roll
away backboards and on an
asphalt tile floor.
Coach Joe Gallagher says he
had hoped to move into the
1,500-seat gymnasium next
September. But now
