fans are reminded that doors will be opened it tonight for entrance into Quaker Gymnasium for the 110th basketball game tween Dover and New Phil- tdelphla. There still are some eta available at the gate, although there has been a big advance, sale, All statistics point towards a Quaker victory. But, as has been said in the past and remains mean little when these 2 teams meet. Dover leads in the series, 6247, but New Philadelphia has come on strong the past few years to narrow the gap; In fact, Quaker lets have won 4 straight, including a history making 3 last season. Coach Jim Miller of the Tornadoes plans to start Don Ammiller, Steve Gray, Doug Domer, Paul Huff and Dick Horn.

Quaker boss Leo Benjamin will go with Jan Fait, Rick Linard, Mark Francis, Tom Struchen and Ed Evans. By RON BERGMAN Associated Ptm Sperti Writer SAM FftANCtsCO (AP) Wilt Chamberlain might retire at the end of this National (etball Association season, leav- ng the Philadelphia ing an empty money bag. The 7ters paid a reported Wednesday night to the San Francisco Warriors for the 7- foot'l scoring, machine, delphia threw in a reserve ter-forward with a recent history of fainting spells, one of the shortest guards in the league and a forward who'has yet to play his first NBA minute this season. Superficially, this sounds CADETS.

This may appear to be a loaded question and, if 10 persons were asked, we probably would get 10 different answers. To me the solution is plain, although it may not be so easy to obtain. In my opinion the main ingredient the Tornadoes lack is self confidence.

Or, if you will, cockiness. To me they are one and the same and I think it's something every good athlete needs. I'm not implying that an athlete must be a showboat, but he must believe that he can do the job. New Philadelphia, which hosts Dover tonight, has such a player. He's Mark Francis.

This lad is an all-round athlete who knows what he can do and goes out and does it. Francis is the type who follows the slogan, "When the go- Ing gets tough the tough get go- Ing." The Tornado who can come closest to being the kind of performer, every team needs is Don Ammiller. In the 2 games Dover has won this season, it was Ammiller who showed the way. So, it looks as if he's going to have to shoulder the responsibility. This is a big order, but I know Don can accept it and come through.

Ammiller could get plenty of help from Dick Horn and Steve Gray, 2 of the best shooters in the area. And if Ed Jentes would play all the time like he does on occasion, he could be one fine eager, especially under the boards. Doug Domer has shown promise at times as have Paul Huff and Don Maurer. True, some of the breaks have gone against us. But this only means work harder.

So let's quit feeling sorry for ourselves and start playing basketball! 38 Groups Seek AFL Franchise By JACK HAND Associated Press Sports Writer HOUSTON (AP) The American Football League will remain an eight-team league in 1965 and probably for at least two more years although it has scheduled an expansion meeting to consider 38 applications this year, Commissioner Joe Foss said Thursday the AFL will tigate the various groups jng for franchises and then make up its mind when and if it wants to add any new clubs. Foss said nine groups from Philadelphia, five from Atlanta, four each from Washington and Chicago, three from Milwaukee and two from Los Angeles have made inquiries. He also had heard from would-be owners in Miami, New Orleans, Birmingham, Seattle, Portland, Columbus and Cincinnati. Although Foss dec-lined to luame names he did reveal he bad spoken to Arthur AUyn, owner ol the Chicago White Sox, earlier this week to Chicago. Allyn would te pi AFl franchise to Cowiskey Park.

All league owners assured Foss they exited to stand pal of ijQIPf Angels, has been making a strong pitch for San Diego and there are rumors that Denver eventually might be headed toward Philadelphia. Voder the terms of a new five year $3C-milUon television contract with the National Broadcasting it is reported each team will get $759,000 in 1965, $800,000 in $850,000 in 1967, $900,000 in and $950,00 in 1909. There is an additional $2-jnilUon expansion fund that probably would be split among new franchises. That fund could provide $5041,000 for each of two new clubs in 1918 and 1969 but lesser amounts if spread over more than two years. Under the new television setup, an attempt will be made to screeo most of the teams' road games ta the city.

Tine league will operate pace more on a schedule adding an extra weefc by aUotijag open dates a.s it did last season.

But if Chamberlain plays only the three remaining months of the season and retires at the ripe young age of 28, it's a financial bath for the 76ers without the bubbles, "i told Mm lie made a bad deal," Chamberlain said Thursday about Philadelphia co-owner ike Richman.

"Wilt told me he would only talk about one year," said "That's all right with me. "Let the future take care of itself, know I have Chamberlain this year definitely.

COUNTY CAGE CIRCLES League Powers In Showdowns This could be one of the most important nights of the season "or Tuscarawas County Class A League powers. Taking top billing Is the clash between unbeaten Midvale and tough Strasburg on he Blue Devils' court. Midvale eads the circuit with a 4 0 late, but Strasburg also is undefeated.

Also of vital importance is he test between Caraway and Stone Creek in the Pirates' dungeon. Caraway is right be- hind Midvale in the race for league laurels, sporting a 3-0 loop slate. The Panthers are 3-1, having lost only to Midvale. Other league battles pit Gnadenhutten at Port Washington and Tuscarawas Valley at Tuscarawas. Baltic, the other team in the 9-member league, hosts Mai- vern in an independent clash.

Action undoubtedly will be hot and furious at Midvale, since both teams like to run and. press. Added to the furor is the fact that the Tigers are out for revenge. Back on Nov. 28, the Blue Devils trimmed the Tigers' nails 57-54 to snap a 22-game home court winning streak.

Midvale and Strasburg shared league honors a season ago at 7-1. Scoring is expected to be light in the Stone Creek Caraway engagement as both schools employ control tactics, working for the good shots.

Mickey Wright Selected Top Female Athlete DALLAS (AP) Golfer Mickey Wright is delighted to have been picked as Female Athlete of the Year for the second straight time but she says she also is surprised. "Naturally, I am delighted, and honored.

But I also was sur-' prised. I didn't think I would win it a second time because' 1964 was an Olympic year," she said Thursday night. The 29-year-old blonde, who now has won more tournaments and more money than any other woman in pro golf, was the first choice of 118 voters on The Asso-- ciated Press panel of about 250. sports writers and broadcasters. With a total of 492 points, Miss Wright easily outdistanced Olympic swimmer Donna Varona of Santa Barbara, who had 235 points for second place in the year-end poll.

Dawn Fraser, the Australian swimmer who won the Female Athlete of the Year Award in 1962, placed third, followed by tennis ace Billie Jean Moffitt and 15-year-old Olympic swimming star Sharon Stouder. Despite an illness that kept her out of competition for a month, Miss Wright won 11 golf tournaments in 1964 to equal her 1963 record and was the leading ladies PGA money winner for fourth straight year with $29,800. Miss Wright has surpassed most of the golf records set by another Texan, the late Babe Didrikson Zaharias. But the Babe still holds the record for being chosen as Female Athlete of the Year in the AP poll. She won the honor six times one for track and five times for golf.

Mickey, a former San Diego girl, who now makes her home in Dallas, will renew her lease on the Frederic C. Miller Memorial Trophy at the annual Fraternal Order of Eagles sports banquet in Milwaukee Feb. 14. During her 10 years on the LPGA tour, Mickey has proved to be almost unbeatable. And she doesn't show any signs of slowing up.

"Since the tour ended in December, I have been traveling," Mickey said. "But play will resume March 18 and next week I start my practicing at the Oak Cliff Country Club." Littler Ahead At San Diego SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) There is a peculiar twist to the golfing career of Gene Littler, who led the way into the second round of the $34,500 San Diego Open today. Littler won the San Piego tournament in 1954 when he was still an amateur. But in the view of his hometown San Diego wor- snipers he has done little in their San Diego Open as a professional.

Of course, all Gene has done outside the county is win the US. Open, the Las Vegas Tournament of Champions three straight years, many other events and amassed a tidy nest egg. But the San piego Open, nothing. Littler shot a 8-3-19, (Jess ner 1-2-4. V.
