PAGE FQURTEFN THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, COLUMBUS, INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12. 1961. First Track Meet Bull Dogs Win Vikings Will Plcsy do Western Povosioim NEW YORK (UPI) The new Minnesota Vikings will start play i in the National Football League to their conference, chose Dallas, as had been1 expected. Last season, the Cowboys played a "swing" schedule but were listed in the Western Division for the purpose of standings. Dallas and.

Minnesota were scheduled to; play the only inter-conference home-and-home series as a start to what league officials hoped i would become a strong rivalry. All other clubs will play their two inter-conference games against different clubs. The for example, plav the Bears at home and the Lions in Detroit; the Packers play the Giants at home and the Browns pion Philadelphia Eagles will be at home against the Cleveland Browns; the Cbwboys will be host i to the Pittsburgh Steelers; the Western Divisibn champion Green Bay Packers wjil entertain the Detroit Lions; the San Francisco Forty-Niners will be at home against the Washington Redskins; the Vikings will begin their schedule at home against the Chi-; cago Bears, the Baltimore Colts will be host to the Los Ang-! eles Rams. East Picks Dallas Eastern Division clubs, which by previous agreement Kad their choice as to which of the two newer teams they wanted added as a member of the Western Conference and the Dallas Cowboys will shift to the Eastern Division, Commissioner Pete Rozelle announced today. 'in releasing the expanded schedule for 1961, Rozelle announced that each club in the league will play a home-and-home series with each of the six other teams in its division, plus two games against teams from the opposite division.

Each team wiH play a 14-game schedule starting Sept. 17. making a total of 98 games. This will mean one additional home game and another on the road for each PtitJ: Stinnffff By SCOTT ALEXANDER club. With the addition of the Vikings as the 14th club in the NFL, it was feared at last December's league meeting that both Minne- sota and Dallas would have to compete as "swing" teams in 1961, that is, they would have to play every other club in the league once.

Both the Vikings and the Cowboys preferred to be assigned to 1 a conference and play home-and-, home series, just as the other clubs do.

Canine Thinclads Win Track Meet BILL'S BLUE RIBBON Bill Russell, sophomore pole-vaulter, is shown going over the bar in one of his leaps Tuesday on the way to first place with a height of 10 feet, 6 inches. He previously had done only about 9 feet in the short period of pre-season practice. Baseball Scores Major League Standings By United Press International National League L. Pet. GB i J- i Here's hoping the weather will be warm and clear when Sportstuff and Columbus thinclads travel' to Seymour Friday night for the Owl school's first invitational, track and field meet.

There's nothing more refreshing to this scribe at least than taking in a night-time track meet under ideal weather conditions, i In addition to Columbus and the host school, seven other cinder squads will be participating in the meet. Other schools represented will be Martinsville, Shelbyville, Bloomington, Salem, Scottsburg, Charlestown and North Vernon. Participants will be performing on Seymour's new 10-lane track in frrat of a concrete stadium. From what we hear the stands are so constructed as to insure unobstructed vision over the 220-yard straightaway and field event areas. We're also told that trophies will be presented to the winning varsity and freshmen teams while individual medals are to be given for the top five places in each of the 16 scheduled events.

ArPyes, and lest we forget there will be a relays queen crowned prior to start of the first race. Now we ask you what's a relays, without a queen. J. The field events will get under way promptly at 6:30 p. m.

with the First running event set to start 30 minutes later. i Huntingburg's on-the-ball Jaycees tell us that there definitely will be a North-South all-star basketball game this summer. The first North-South game, which features some of the Hoosier state's top? senior prep stars, will be played in Fort Wayne June IS aftd the second game of the series will be staged at Huntingburg June 17. Asked" to vote for players on the Soutb's team, we picked ft Columbus Joe Warfel and Franklin's Jon McGlocklin as our two selections. Columbus is one of eight teams invited to participate in the fourth anniial Lafayette Jefferson doubles tennis tournament tp be held April 22 at Lafayette's Columbian? park.

Other invited to fake part in the affair include the hosts, Muncie Burris, Peru, Indianapolis Shortridge, Indianapolis Howe, Crawfordsville, and West Jafayette. While attending Nashville's annual sports banquet the other night we learned (among other things) that John Hynds, sue- cessful Trafalgar basketball coach, has resigned his post take over the princtpalshlp at Morgantown. f. And while we're reflecting on our trip to Nashville, perhaps we should mention that Bronco Coaches Ted Shisler and Clarence Zody are doing a real fine job of running the Brown county school's athletic program. The Broncs jus initiated track this year under the tutelage of Mr.
