Meshingomesia Spells Trouble Small Retires From Decatur Coaching Job Dean Small, head basketball coach the last two years at Decatur Central High School, has announced his retirement from varsity coaching. Small's Hawks carved out a 15-7 record this past season after winning their first 12 games. Decatur bowed out of the sectional to eventual champ Franklin in the Saturday afternoon round, The season record ran Small's career record to 176-68. By 3Ia Sliiliz, By DAVE OVERPECK The a us omed peace and serenity that has surrounded the Speedway throughout the month of May came to an end in a burst of hot words and less than lengthy tempers yesterday.

Opponents in the hassle were Mario Andretti and his crew chief, Clint Braw-ner, and Chief Steward Harlan Fengler. The issue in point was a radiator added to Andretti's STP Hawk-turbo Ford after he qualified it for the middle of the first row last Saturday. DURING THE heat of the battle. Brawner threatened to withdraw Andretti and the No. 2 STP entry from the 500-Mile Race.

But by last night, the temperature was cooler and Jim co-chief mechanic but picked up his sixth straight victory. The Cubs also scored an unearned run in the second and in the fifth on Holtzman's run-scoring double. THE GIANTS, fighting back from an 8-0 deficit, scored twice in the third on Bonds' triple, Jim Hart's double and Ken Henderson's single. Sa-decki's homer added a run in1 the fourth, and Henderson's second run-scoring single made it 9-4 in the fifth. Holtzman was knocked from the mound in the sixth after singles by Lanier and Don Mason and pinch-hitter Tito Fuentes walk loaded the bases.

Dick Selma yielded a two-run single to Bonds and McCovey hit a run-scoring grounder off Hank Aguirre before Hart's pop ended the isssssfl IN tRi -K'. '''lmmmmmmmmmmimmmtm gL gMgHggjgMngT mmmtfinn i Bmmm Woodie Says: LARRY DICKSON'S ENTRY LOSES WHEEL Damage Is Slight So He'll Be In The Race Don Kessinger saved the Cubs' victory when he threw out Jack Hiatt at the plate for the last out of the game. SINGLES BY Willie Mc-Covey and Hiatt put runners at first and second with two out in the ninth, and Davenport came to bat for Hal Lanier. He doubled to the left field corner, driving in the Giants' eighth run, but Billy Williams retrieved the ball, fired to shortstop Kessinger and Kessinger threw to Hundley at the plate, who tagged Hiatt. Kessinger opened the second with a walk and Glenn Beckert singled.

Williams, Ron Santo and Willie Smith followed with run-scoring singles, chasing starter Rich Robertson. RELIEVER RAY Sadecki walked Al Spangler, loading the bases, and Hundley, a former Giant, hammered a 370-foot homer that just made it over the outstretched glove of center fielder Bobby Bonds. Left-hander Ken Holtzman, 8-1, was in constant trouble couple fuel connections were not. "That changes the configuration," he said.

Brawner said that leaving the radiator off would affect Andretti's ability to compete with other cars. "All we're trying to do is make it a better show," he said. "Doesn't it stand to reason that if a driver can go out and run wheel to wheel without worrying about the car burning up that it's going to be a better race than if he just pussyfoots around?" he asked.

All the Fords have had varying heat and fuel consumption problems. The two conditions have been intertwined. Many crews, among them Andretti's, according to Foyt, have been cooling the engine by running rich fuel blends. "Now they can't do that or they won't have enough fuel to finish the race," said A.J.

FOYT EXUDED confidence that he won't have any problems with his Ford tomorrow. "We got 2.3 miles to the gallon today," he said, "and I plan to run richer, down to 1.9 or 2 mpg, in the race." Aside from the radiator row, yesterday's three-hour carburetion tests caused little of note. But it could have been different.

If you saw him in the jungle, you'd expect Tarzan to be riding around on his head. In Yellowstone Park, you'd expect to find him poking around eating berries or swatting beehives, and the rangers would warn you not to feed him. He bellows opera in a wavering tenor in a crowded restaurant. He grandly wrote a book lordly titled "They Call Me Mr. 500" which came as something of a shock to Tony Hulman, to say nothing of assorted other characters like Wilbur Shaw, Sid Collins, Joe Quinn, Harlan Fengler or Pat Vidan.

"They ought to call him 'Mr. a competition grumbled looking sourly on the dust jacket of a book. "The only thing Andy Granatelli can do to help a race car is wash it," another sneered. Criticism rolls off Anthony Granatelli's back like olive oil off his lasagna. Andy is a big lovable Italian bursting with life.

He's as extroverted as an otter. On race day, he's down in the pits like a downed barrage balloon in a costume that looks like a combination of the Aurora Borealis and a gangster's funeral wreath. It does everything but give off sparks. It's dangerous to stare too long into it with the naked eye. The first time Andy tried to qualify for Indy, he hit so many walls and the car was in the air so much of the time that when he came down he thought he was over Des Moines.

He went through corners so fast the car couldn't keep up with him. Andy's teeth and wheels were lying all over the track, blood was running out of his car. "I thought to myself, 'You idiot! You're Andy's troubles with the "Establishment" at Indy, which is as entrenched as the British peerage, began with his driving days when they thought he was taking his practice laps in any direction he could find, including straight up. "Andy used to go so fast he couldn't keep a car in Rhode Island," they complained. But it was when he showed up as an owner-mchanic that open warfare really began.

Andy couldn't stand to come to Indy with anything less exotic than a car which had more horsepower than the German Army. It made a lovely sound, it got 1 whole mile to the gallon, and they kept a priest handy because the guys who drove it were sometimes as hooky as the car. Andy loved the brutish Novis but they were one-round fighters. The track began to cut down on the fuel a crew could carry in the pits and abolish pressure flow in favor of gravity flow and Andy's cars were pitted often enough and long enough to wait for Green Stamps. "I was the first one to come to the Speedway with four-wheel drive, I was the first one to come with independent suspension.

I understand cars, y'understand!" he shouted the other night as he attacked a double portion of beeksteak that was big enough for a corrida and rare enouh to win it. Beside him, he had a box of his books which he was tossing around like a guy throwing jelly beans out of a car. In 1967, his place in automotive history was secure when he came with his turbine, a tubby car with a silhouette like Andy's, whom it only outweighed by a couple of pounds. "Is it legal?" Andy demanded. "We don't know Andy, first of all, what is It?" they asked.

One steward scratched his head and said "AU I know is, the first time I hear it growl or start eating grass, OUT it goes." "It was the safest, quietest, most advanced car ever to hit the Speedway. They wouldn't be burning up all those guys out there if they didn't illegalize it!" shouted Andy the other night, pressing books on bewildered passersby. "Kerosene is the cheapest, safest fuel in the world. You can't even light it. You'd have better luck lighting water.

Turbine cars are here if these idiots didn't ban them. So what do wc do now? Go back to testing the rearview mirrors? I innovate, don't buddy? Look, they don't even give you head rests in these cars. They give you head rests even in barber shops, don't they? And your head doesn't snap back from hitting a wall in barber shops, does it?" The cow on his plate was finally dead and you expected the mules to come and drag the remains away but Andy speared a last portion he caught wriggling and pointed it and his fork at me. "The turbine is HERE! The steam car is HERE! At Indy, they never got over regretting the Ducsenberg is gone." The race kind of bores Andy this year. He's got cars in the front row, fourth row and tenth row but, shucks! they got four wheels and they don't run on steam or dry ice or perfume.

They run on top of the ground. You can hear them coming. They're hard to love. If they were girls they'd have glasses and buck teeth and a pencil in their hair. "I want to go in Victory Lane with a car that uses a thimbleful of water a year!" glows Andy who is as emotional as a Caruso aria.

We'll clean up all the cities in America! Andy Granatelli and Indianapolis will wipe out smog!" He spotted my plate. "Ain't you gonna cat the rest of your meat?" he demanded. "There's nothing left but the horns," I told him. Andy leaned over and speared it. He polished it off, then hurried out to the kitchen to pass out some more copies of his book.

"A thimbleful of water!" he shouted. "You could cross the Gobi Desert on spit! Think of it!" He called a waitress, "Have you got any black olives, honey?"

Specifically, the conference demanded a "full and complete disclosure relative to the LIOOSIER GOLFERS WILL SWING next month in the venerable Indiana Open golf tournament at Marion's Meshingomesia Country Club.

Andretti and Brawner wanted to add the radiator to help with a cooling and fuel consumption problem with the turbo Ford. Fengler said, pursuant to supplementary regulation 5 (c), that it could not be done, IT CHANGED THE configuration of the race car. For Fengler, it meant going hack on what he had told Brawner at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Fengler said the switch was necessarv because his meeting with Henry Banks, director of 'ompetition for the United States Auto Club, and Joe Cloutier. vice-president of the Speedway, to determine just what constituted a change of configuration was not held until Tuesday night after he had talked to the STP crew. Also affected by the ruling was the Wynn's Mongoose-turbo Offy of Lloyd Ruby. Chief Mechanic Dave Laycock had moved an oil cooler, which had been inside the car's body shell, outside. It had to be changed hack.

"It's unfortunate that this wasn't cleared up sooner than it was," said Fengler. "I'm sorry I told Clint it was okav and then had tn tell him it wasn't. "But we didn't get a chance to have the meeting until last (Tuesday) night." Brawner was plenty steamed about the signal switch. "We were up almost all night building the shroud for the thing," he said. "We ran today with the thing on.

THE SEVEN-MEMBER conference also demanded a full presentation "of the steps that have been and are being taken to develop intercollegiate athletic facilities at Marshall of reasonable comparability to similar facilities at other MidAmerican Athletic Conference institutions." The conference demands were made public simultaneously in Columbus, by conference Commissioner Robert James, and in Huntington by Marshal President Roland H. Nelson. Nelson told a news conference the alleged irregularities apparently concerned Federally insured loans to athletes. A group of freshmen football players complained in March that they had been recruited under false pretenses.

The students said they had been promised financial assistance if they made the freshman team. This was denied by Coach Perry Moss, who said the recruits had been told assistance would be given only to those who qualified for the varsity team. Later, however, Athletic Director Edgar Barrett said he felt Marshall had a "moral obligation" to help the athletes complete th i education. Moss coached the Charleston Rocketts and the Orlando Panthers of the Continental Football League before taking the Marshall job in the fall of 1967. $1030 OFF TRUCKERS, CONTRACTORS, EARTHMOVERS AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OB Pet.
