THE HAMMOND Steward Carries Big Load Molchan Sees Bleak Outlook By LOREN XATE (Times Sports Writer) LOWELL--A year ago Dan Molehan was expecting big things in his sophomore season of coaching. The youthful graduate of Merrillville and Purdue had whipped up a team which had scored only four touchdowns in 1954 into a fighting unit which won three and tied three in 1955, But difficulties set in as he opened' the 1956 campaign with 14 big letterman. Dyer stopped the Red Devils, 6-0, and Griffith eked out a 1413 decision. Before he knew it, Molchan's dreams of a Calumet Conference title were out the window and he was strapped with a 3-7 season. "I DON'T have such high expectations this says Molchan.

"The number of returning letterman has been cut in half and boys who weren't even in contention last year are going to be in the lineup. "We're light in the line and therefore we've had to overhaul our offense. We're got a couple boys who can go if we get them past the line of scrimmage." The brightest spot in the Red Devil backfield is a 5-10, 175-pound senior who's a i his fourth season of varsity competition. Paul a a versatile half- a broad-jumped his way to the state a a spring, i a brunt of the Lowell attack. Steward and senior backs- Bud Ballou, Bill Marshall and Jim Tully--make up more than half of the seven returning lettermen.

Even so, quarterback will be handled by an underclassman. Roger Armstrong, leading southpaw hurler on last spring's confer- STEWARD DAN MOLCHAN cncc baseball champs, is showing progress in this, his junior year. Also a promising passer is Sophomore John Shipley. LINED UP in the front wall, Molchan has letterman Loren Gidley and slender Bill Mundee at the ends, veteran George Levande and Ron Herz or Jerry Pierce at the tackles, lightweights Bob Benda and Dave Button at the guards and Senior letterman Arnold Schulte at center. "Mundee is just a sophomore but he's our best receiver," says "The guards only weigh 140 but they're scrappers.

"This could be a fooler year," hopes Molchan. "If we cojild get started right against Morocco and Griffith (Sept. 3 and 6) we might cause trouble. I learned last year how much the first game means." Molchan is again being helped by Bud Moretz.

In addition John Baker has switched over from Griffith High and Ken Klein has been picked up from the Indiana State campus to give the Red Devils.a four-man staff.

"You've got it made now," somebody ventured from the gallery--10 minutes before big Rube four- putted the 10th. Comeback champion of the 1957 tourney has to be wiry Chuck Kosalko of Whiting whose parlay read 88-74-162, with Bob Brannon of Cedar Lake second on an 81-73154. Kpsalko, who made his first move" in golf by winning the Burnham first flight crown in 1948 after Mike Gall had "upset" champ Gus Hockalevich in a 20-hole semi- final, went for a mighty 10 on the llth hole in the morning round but really got it going in the afternoon as did Brannon, who still had visions of collecting side bets from his oldtime junior rival, Tommy Sullivan.

Gee was happiest about winning but gave second place to the pairing which put him with -favored Bob McCall and TJisegna. "Wonderful guys to. play with," said Art. McCall, who'd played only one full on Lake Hills (last spring before the Calumet Open) thanked the committee for sponsorship, of a fine tourney and vowed he'd be back--and ready- in 1958 if he's still working in this area. "The tournament is full of good, players and your newspaper can be proud of a fine event," said the defending Ohio state amateur champion and former Colgate linebacker.

GEE'S reputation for impeccable golf dress took a beating from sartorial experts when the new champ mismatched yellow and black sad- dle golf shoes with pink slacks and a dark shirt Bufthere was a reason Five days in the State Open at Terre Haute ate too deeply into Gee's of clean clothes. Gee was unquestioned champion on the front nine with a pair of par 35s. But how about the 35-36--71 served by Jerry Austgen on the rugged back nine? You have to like Sam Leech, a former champ, for asking after all the scores had been posted that his score on No. 18 be changed from five to seven which dropped him several notches in the final standings. Change came on a two- stroke penalty for an unplayable lie.

Seating capacity has been (International) Don't Get Facts Straight Ring Critics Hasty By JOHN HARRINGTON NEW YORK (INS)--Boxing certainly has its faults, but it is ridiculous for critics such as Congressman Kenneth Keating to condemn it on the basis of a fight he did not see and a contractual hassle about which he does not know the facts.

Keating gratuituously labeled the Floyd Patterson-Pete Rade-' macher fight "slaughter" and a "debacle" in a statement that read as if it might have been prepared in advance of the bout for delivery afterward. THOSE sentiments were fairly general before the affair, but Keating's was about the only critical voice heard in its wake. Rademacher gave a much better account of himself than expected, in fact a better account of himself than Patterson's last foe, the seasoned if befudled professional, Hurricane Jackson. Moreover, Pete, the alleged victim of what Keating called "modified murder," but not only was in the ring voluntarily but actually set the bout up with his super-salesmanship. And whether or not he ever laces on another glove, he stands to make a pile of money from personal appearances and endorsements.

Is that so bad? And Keating should get his facts straight before he cites the International Boxing Club- Sugar Ray Robinson theater TV dispute as evidence that boxing needs a house cleaning. IN THIS instance, boxing is an innocent bystander to a competitive struggle within the closed circuit TV industry. Sports are only a small part the business transacted in this field, where the bulk of the work consists of arranging private television hookups for business and industry. As long ago as last April, Theater Network Television, IBC's choice to screen the Sept. 23 Robinson-Carmen Basilio bout-- complained that some of its competitors were cutting corners with side deals, kickbacks a undercover stock options.

Nathan L. Halpern, president of TNT, urged the annual convention of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers to "review our standards of good business conduct for our own welfare" and to establish "general industry standards of business ethics, so that the closed-circuit industry will not be adversely affected by malpractices." THERE are reports that IBC President James D. Norris has a financial interest in TNT. True or not, the fact remains arrangements for' radio and TV coverage are, by long estab- lished precedent, the pcroga- tive of the promoter and that TNT had handled satisfactorily 14 previous IBC fights. The efforts of a rival company, Teleprompter, to short circuit the closed circuit arrangement by.

offering Robinson special inducements suggests that Keating should be threatening to investigate not boxing but the theater TV industry.
