Last, night's victory boosts the record for the varsity for the season to an impressive 8-1 mark.

Last night's Pontiac victory was a real team victory as two of the Indians' top matmen -Robin "Bohm in the 126 pound division and Jim Patton in the 138 pound division were upset victims.

Posting pin victories for the Indians last night were Lee Ryerson, who boosted his season record to 9-2-1 for the season; Don Ries, Gary Weber and Rick Jones. Randy McCullough posted Pontiac's only decision victory. Gary King held a 7-2 lead over Kirk Kamp in the third period when the Pontiac wrestler was awarded a disqualification victory for stalling tactics by his Hornet opponent.

Pat Ruddy received a forfeit victory in the heavyweight match to boost the Pontiac victory margin to 39-21. Pontiac's 119-pound wrestler Rod Bohm remained the only undefeated Indian wrestler. He maintained his perfect record as he sat out last night's match due to illness. Lee Ryerson's pin of Bruce Hinerichsen in the opening 98- pound match in 1:44 gave the Indians a lead they never relinquished. After Kevin Coulter decisioned Mark Ragle in the 105-pound match 9-6, the Indians came back with victories by Don Ries on a pin of Rob Jacoby in the 112 pound division and an 11-5 decision by Randy McCullough over John Fehr in the 119-pound match to gain a 15-3 lead after four matches.

Eureka rallied with three straight victories to tie the score at 15-15 after seven matches. Jeff Moxley's victory over Jim Patton in the 138- pound match by a 5-4 score enabled the Hornets to tie the score. Gary Weber then sparked a Pontiac comeback when he pinned Mark Hinerichsen in 53 seconds of the 145 pound match to give the Indians a 21-15 lead and they continued on to a 39-21 victory. Rick Jones continued his impressive wrestling by pinning Bryan Hasty in 3:55 of the 155- pound matc.li.

Indianapolis type racers to meet Formula 1 cars INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Indianapolis-type race cars may soon be competing wheel-to- wheel with the trim, maneuverable Formula 1 Grand Prix racers, a welcomed prospect to the U.S. Auto Club. The Commission Sportive International voted recently in Paris to allow European Formula 2 cars and American Indianapolis and Formula A cars into Formula 1 races whenever the field could not be filled with primary machinery. The action resulted from a money squabble between the Grand Prix organizers and racing teams. "You'd better believe it," Dan Gurney told the Indianapolis News when asked if he'd like to put an Indianapolis car in a Formula 1 field.

"Provided you have a first- rate roadrace driver like Mario Andretti or Mark Donohue or the Unser brothers, if they should get a little bit of experience, I think we could whip 'em," he said. The Grand Prix season opens Jan. 28 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, but an Indianapolis car probably will not make its first appearance until the Grand Prix of South Africa March 3, said Tom Binford of Indianapolis, one of two American delegates to the Paris commission. "I feel it would be a great crowd-pleaser," Binford said, "but I doubt if it would be too successful." At the moment there are no road courses on the USAC schedule, but Executive Director Bill Smyth said at least three are planned. Both Smyth and Binford feel this could lead to an international formula on engine size that would allow car exchanges in all major world races.

Carlton reportedly Jjffc signs for $165,000 PHILADELPHIA (AP) A tall, dark-haired young man with a mustache approached the reception desk in the office of the Philadelphia Phillies. "Is Paul Owens in please?" the visitor asked the receptionist? "Who wants to see Paul Owens?" the girl retorted. Yes, there is at least one person in Philadelphia who didn't recognize super pitcher Steve Carlton. The embarrassed young lady waved Carlton toward Owens' office where a few minutes later he affixed his signature to a contract that made him the highest paid pitcher in baseball. The Phillies wouldn't disclose the exact amount, but Director of Player Personnel Paul Owens said it was more than the reported $150,000 earned by Bob Gibson of the St.

Louis Cardinals. Gibson is recognized as the top salaried hurler in the game. The 27-year-old Carlton immediately set a goal for himself for 1973 commensurate with his lofty salary figure--reportedly $165,000. "My goal for next year is to win 30 games," said the National League's best pitcher. Nobody laughed.

You have to take Carlton's goals seriously. Last spring he set 25 victories as his 1972 standard. Considering he was pitching for the worst team in baseball, the hope seemed a lot greater than the deed. Carlton, however, went on to win 27, posted a league leading ERA of 1.98, led in strikeouts with 346, pitched in the most games (43) and completed the most (30). He worked 346 innings and pitched to 1,351 batters, both league highs.

BOSTON (AP) Colorful Derek Sanderson begins today as the world's highest paid athlete and could end it on the rolls of the unemployed. Sanderson's attorney, Bob Woolf, and the officials of the Philadelphia Blazers of the World Hockey Association were scheduled to meet this morning in the City of Brotherly Love to complete a settlement of Sanderson's contract with the Blazers for a cool million dollars. Bernard Brown, owner of the Blazers, denied on Tuesday that any agreement had been reached, but Woolf said he was to meet with the Blazers today and said an announcement could be made before the day is out. The agreement, as reached tentatively between Woolf and the Blazers, would dissolve the 10-year, $2.4 million contract Sanderson signed last August with the infant WHA.

And the Redskins did it the hard way with leading scorers Jim McKey and Jim Maubach whistled to the b3nch with five personal fouls apiece before the final climatic minutes. Reserve forward Doug Punke, a junior who is out for his first year of competition at Gridley, was the man of the hour last night for Pete Meiss' qinners. Punke scored just six points, but all of them came in the final 3:30 of play. And every shot helped break Chenoa's back. Punke's first hoop broke a 4747 deadlojck at the 3:30 mark as he fired in a 10-footer over Chenoa's Roger Sommer, hampered late in the contest by four personal fouls.

A free throw by Chenoa's Dong Martin, followed by a bucket by Sommer, coming off a nice feed from Martin, lifted the visitors back on top, 50-49, with 2:10 remaining. Gridley's first field goal attempt at regaining the lead missed its mark, but Punke was in the right place to grab the errant shot and score on a rebound effort. With just 1:03 left to play, Punke did this thing again as he 'took a rebound away from Sommer and scored to stretch Gridley's slim margin to 53-50. Sommer brought Chenoa back within one point, 53-52, with a pair of free throws with 53 seconds showing on the clock. Gridley then went into a semi- stall until sophomore guard Doug Nafziger found teammate Rick Kirkton wide open under the hoop at the 30-second mark.

Kirkton's easy basket gave the hosts a 55-52 lead. Chenoa vainly tried to score, but an alert Redskin defense kept the pressure on and, finally, deflected a pass out of bounds. Chenoa's in-bounds pass was also deflected and Gridley Merle Free scooped up the loose ball and sailed in alone for the clincher. Somer added a meaningless free throw with just one second left in the game to narrow the final count to 57-53. For Gridley, the win was a sweet one following their lopsided loss at Flanagan last week.

But for Dave Arnold's Redbirds, the loss was another in a series of close-contests that have always seemed to go the other way this winter. Chenoa started out as if they fully intended to break a seven- game losing streak. The Redbirds skillfully used a zone defense to upset Gridley's offensive patterns in the opening period and moved out to a 17-9 lead at the close of the first quarter. All five starters got into the scoring column for Chenoa in the period as things went pretty much the Redbirds' way. Jim Gambach and Doug Martin kept things rolling for Chenoa early in the second quarter with long jumpers to CESAR M.

Gridley kept applying the pressure as the second half got underway and managed to take a shortlived 33-32 lead oh a long jumper by Merle Free with 3:39 left in the third period. Then, Martin and Roger Rosenberger popped in field goals for Chenoa and Martin added a free throw to put the visitors on top 37-33. Near the one-minute mark, Darvin Taylor slapped in a rebound to stretch Chenoa's lead to 39-33, but Gridley rallied to narrow 'the count to 42-39 at the end of the period.
