10 THE TERRE HAUTE STAR, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, New Pro Grid Loop Gets First Pickings Of Rhubarb Crop NEW YORK, Sept. Harry Wismer, president of the New York Titans of the American Football League, filed a protest today with Commissioner Joe Foss over the officiating in the game with the Boston Patriots Saturday night. Chuck Shonta of Boston picked up a fumbled punt and ran 24 yards as the gun went off to give the Patriots a 28 to 24 victory over New York. WISMER SAID he and Coach Sammy Baugh and other New York coaches reviewed movies of the game today. He said the films "clearly show the lose ball was kicked by a Boston player 'with his foot' which is illegal." Wismer said the ball then was picked up by a Boston teammate (Shonta) who ran for a touchdown as the gun went off, which changed the result from a Titan victory to a Titan defeat.

"The A. F. L. rule book specifically, or unintentionally, is illegal kicking and such an act is subject to a 15-yard penalty," Wismer said. THE TITAN president said he had telephoned Foss in Dallas, requesting that he and Bob Austin.

supervisor of officials, fly here to see the films and "to note the severe error of the officials on the play." Wismer said Foss advised him that Austin would come here Wednesday to investigate and report to the commissioner. In Boston, the films also were reviewed today. They showed that Rick Sapienza of Villanova and Everett, fumbled the attempted punt. Members of both teams tried to get the ball, and Boston linebacker Tony Sardisco kicked it toward the goal line. Shonta scooped it up and ran for controversial score.

A fast-wheeling team of semi- paralyzed American athletes started off the 1960 world "Para- lympics" this morning with a 37-6 basketball victory over Belgium. The American outfit blanked the Belgians in the first half 20-0. The game was one of the curtain openers of the week-long wheejchair Olympics held in Rome this year less than a month after the non-handicapped athletes of the world competed in the regular Olympic games.

Three hundred and fifty competitors from 22 countries are here for the Paralympics, organized at England's Stoke Mandeville Hospital 12 years ago for partly paralyzed men and women. The crippled athletes come from Argentina. Australia. Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France. Germany.

Britain. Greece. Ireland. Israel. Yugoslavia.

LAW HAD a chance to reach 20 games last season, but when the Pirates were knocked out of the pennant race he said he told Manager Danny Murtaugh to "try out some of the rookies in the closing games." "I got to go home early then," he mused. Any chance of an early vacation this year? "I hope not," he retorted. Law figures he'll pitch at least once more, possibly twice, before the World Series begins. He normally takes the mound every fourth day. The Pirates have 11 games left, including two double-headers.

An ear infection held Hagberg out of today's workout but is expected to clear up in time for Saturday's invasion of Nebraska. Hagberg was replaced by Tom Robbins.

Also ailing was the team's strongest end, junior Boh Deegan, who suffered a cut requiring 16 stitches in last Saturday's intrasquad game. Deegan remained in the lineup, however.

Boilermaker scout Ned Maloney reported the explosive speed and versatility of the Californians and said, "This is a much better squad than the one that held us to a scoreless tie in the opener last year. It is just as dangerous in the air as it is on the ground." Coach Jack Mollenkopfs worries were increased when sophomores Walter Zing, quarterback, and Roy Walker, fullback, and junior guard Robert Foster were ruled definitely out for the U. C.

A new job with an old friend is coming up here for Jimmy Foxx, the only righthanded batter in major league baseball history to hit more than 500 home runs. Foxx's homer total in a 20-year career with Philadelphia and Boston of the American League and Chicago of the National League was 534. Foxx, 53 years old, moved here 10 days ago, but won't be ready for his new job for about two months. He suffered a skull fracture and spine and leg injuries in a fall down stairs at his home in Galesburg, 111., three weeks ago. Michael J.

"Mickey" O'Neill, who caught for the St. Louis Browns for two years in the 1920s, knew Foxx in his playing days. O'Neill, a vice president of the William C. Moore sellers of plants and shrubs, disclosed today Foxx will be given duties supervising salesmen. NATIONAL LEAGUE CJubs-r- Plttsburgh St.

Thompson, who hit 406.6 miles an hour in the streamliner 10 days ago, is the last of five drivers who invaded the flats this year in an effort to break the mark of 394.1 miles an hour set in 1947 by the late John Cobb of One, Athol Graham of Salt Lake City, died when his homemade vehicle crashed at 300 miles an hour.

"Bump" Elliott ignored a steady drizzle today and gave his Michigan gridders a first taste of what they likely will encounter against Oregon Saturday. And on the basis of the scouting report turned in by his aides, Elliott prescribed a few days of "real hard work" for the Wolverines before the opener. Today's session was the first in which the Michigan squad ran against an Oregon-style defense and tested its own defense in running Oregon offensive plays. Spartans Earn Rest EAST LANSING, Sept. Duffy Daugherty started a regime of rest for the weary at the Michigan State football camp today.

The top three units were spared from contact and ran against dummies, polishing plays, in the afternoon practice.

C. L.

A. over the Panthers Saturday night. Browns Drop Fowler CLEVELAND, Sept. Halfback Willmer Fowler, who starred in track as a dash man as well as in football at Northwestern, was cut from the Cleveland Browns squad today, bringing the club roster down to the 38-player requirement of the National Football League.
