Sikes, 23, shot a 30-3464 for a two-day total of 132. Nicklaus fired a 34-31 65, his best round in several weeks, to move into third place at 133. THE FIELD WAS cut to the low 90 pros after yesterday's round and the cutoff figure was 144, one of the lowest of the year. Among those who failed to make it were U.S. Open champion Ken Venturi who finished at 145 after hree-putting the 17th.

He had a 70 yesterday on top of a 75 Thursday. Palmer and Sikes both tied the course record set by Al Geiberger Thursday over the Highland Park municipal golf course which continued to take a strong beating from the pros. Geiberger, the first-round leader with his 64, slipped to 70 yesterday and was at 134 along with George Bayer. Bayer, who had a 65 Thursday to tie for second with Tony Lema, shot a 69 yesterday. Lema posted a 70 yesterday and was deadlocked at 135 with Rex Baxter Jr.

2 10 II 12 and both missed a large part of the game. FOR SOME REASON that Nicoson couldn't put his finger on, Indiana didn't run a single pick to free somebody for a shot. Indiana found itself in a hole virtually all the way, leading only 12-11 in the first minutes and aeain bv scores of 27-25, 28-27 and 30-29 just before the hair. In tne nrst half Indiana went about 7Vj minutes without a basket. Closest the Hoosiers could come in the second half was 50-45 with 9:16 on the clock.

Indiana still holds a 22-10 edge in the series but the Hoosiers haven't seen a ray of light here since the days of Kokomo's Jimmy Rayl (1959) and Terre Haute's Terry Dischinger (1958). Kentucky speared five of the last seven All-Star games played in the fieldhouse and the visitors are confident they can sweep both ends of the home-and-home conflict for only the second time sine it became a two-way propof sition in 1955. ONE WEEK usually makes a big difference in these My Star struggles and Indiana will be relying heavily tonight on the more familiar surroundings of Butler Fieldhouse. Seven of the 10 Indiana plaUr-ers have had plenty of state tournament experience on the Butler floor. XrLc3 IcxrLCL.

More than 14,000 mid-summer basketball buffs are expected to turn out for the 8:30 p.m. return bout wondering if the Hoosiers will break Kentucky's four-game winning streak on the Butler floor and dodge the whitewash brush. Indiana blind fund proceeds from the Indianapolis game alone will approach a quarter of a million dollars. BOTH CAMPS blame the heat for last week's sloppy All-Star game widely described as one of the dullest since the interstate blind fund rivalry began in 1940.

About 1,500 tickets (all S2 reserved seats in the balcony) will be on sale from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Public Information Desk in the Star-News main floor lobby and the Butler Field-house box office will open at 12 noon.

Indiana was handcuffed by its feeblest offensive effort since the 45-40 game won by Kentucky in 1945 and the Ken. tuckians didn't do much better posting their lowest score in 11 years. On the eve of the Indianapolis game both Ail-Star coaches Angus Nicoson of Rodee Captures Midget Feature By GEORGE MOORE Chuck Rodee, USAC midget and 500-Mile Race driver from Speedway, has a decided love for the Indianapolis Speedrome quarter-mile track.

Rodee won the 50-lap midget feature race at Speedrome last night in his own Offy. It was his third consecutive win at the east side track. He won the last midget race there May 29, and won the final race of the 1963 season on the paved oval. RODEE DID it the hard way, traveling over a slippery, oily surface to come up from ninth place at the start. Mike Mc- Greevy, starting on the outside of the front row in the Goff Offy, jumped into the lead on the start, and the front runners following him were Tom Sellberg, Jimmy Davies, Chuck Arnold, and Tommy Copp.

By the 19th lap, Rodee had worked his way to third and was hammering away at Da-vies who had passed Sellberg. Davies kept staving off the Speedway i I t's repeated thrusts until the 39th lap when Rodee passed him on the outside and took out after Mc-Greevy. With the pavement becoming exceptionally slippery, he rode high in the grove and finally got past the Hayward, Calif, chauffeur on the 41st circuit. THE 2,500 attending fans saw Rodee earn $250 from a $1,500 purse. He also qualified fastest at 13.61 seconds.

Following Doviet In third were (4) Tommy Copo, 15) Johnny Rlvo, (4) Chuck Arnold.

McKinley Needs 4 Sets To Win Wimbledon, England (AP) Defending champion Chuck McKinley had his troubles with a lefthander again yesterday in the Wimbledon tennis tournament but won through to the round of eight, where his opponent will be another southpaw. McKinley, who romped to the title last year without losing a set, went four sets before he prevailed over Britain's Billy Knight, 8-6, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, in the fourth round. McKINLEV IS the only American left in the men's singles, with a week to go in the tournament.

There were 23 when the tourney started. BY SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT San Diego, Calif. The Indianapolis Indians extended their best winning streak of the season to five last night by defeating San Diego, 7-4. All the Tribe runs were registered in an argumentive seventh inning, the final three tallies of the frame coming across on Jim Hicks' 11th home run of the season. THE INDIANS settled for just seven hits for the tilt while San Diego accumulated 12.

Ed Hobaugh, who relieved starter Bruce Howard in the sixth, was the winning pitcher while Larry Dovel was the loser. Dovel limited the Tribe to two hits for six innings. Then in the seventh a walk to Gary Johnson, Ken Berry's single and another pass to Don Bud-din loaded the bases with none out. DAL MAXVILL'S poke to right became a sacrifice fly. Plate umpire George Maloney then ruled that Larry Himes had struck out.

Himes protested that catcher Don Pav-letich nf the Padres had trapped a foul tip. The base umpire, Russ Goeu, overruled Maloney and Himes was permitted to continue at bat. Padre manager Dave Bristol protested this I ff J' I 6w'A A.
