Ewbank, Logan Top List Of 8 More Indiana Football Hall Of Famers The Palladium-Item, Richmond, Indiana, Friday, December 21, 1973 13 I Decision Goes In Favor Of A's Owner Finley contract and to A's owner Charlie Finley Thursday when American League President Joe Cronin put the ka-bosh on the New York Yankees' signing of Williams while he still was under contract to the Athletics. "I still hope to be the manager of the Yankees," said Williams, who guided Oak- BOSTON (UPI) Dick Williams can't manage in New York and won't manage in Oakland. And unless the clouds part and a miracle saves him, Dick Williams has managed himself out of baseball for two years. Williams officially became tied to his Oakland Athletic By Jan Clark Sporti Editor Wilbur (Weeb) Ewbank and Dr. James Z.

Logan, two names out of the pro football past with Richmond origins, head a list of eight more names announced Friday to be inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame here Jan. 17. These two men join Paul (Tony) Hinkle of Butler University, Ed (Moose) Drause of Notre Dame. Max Kidd of Brazil, Art J. Rolfe of Gary, Raymond (Tubby) Trobaugh of Galveston and Karl B.

Huffine of Hammond on the roster of 15 to be enshrined in the first Richmond-hosted ceremonies at Earlham next month. Announced as new Hall of Famers last week by the Indiana Football Coaches Association were Joe Dienhart, West Lafayette; Phil Dickens, Bloomington; John Tatum, Wabash; Delby Humphrey, Terre Haute; and Bob Williams, Cloyd Julian and Jacob Caskey, all of Indianapolis. The state grid shrine list now totals 24 with the first nine inducted last July at Bloomington. They included Pete Rucinski, East Chicago Moose Krause Tony Hinkle Union City's Warwick Tops HBC Scoring, Rebounding Weeb Ewbank Roosevelt; Herman Byers, Evansville Reitz; Ralph Johnson, Speedway; Paul (Spike) Kelly, South Bend Riley; Henry Bogue, Indianapolis Washington; Cecil Young, Auburn; Robert Jones, South Bend Central; Pat O'Neill, Lawrenceburg; and Raymond Gallivan, Whiting. Biographical sketches of the eight newest Hall of Famers announced Friday follow: I 0 land to two straight world championships.

"I definitely will not be going back to manage Oakland. I think I made that clear on several occasions." The undisputed winner in the case was Finley and he gloated in his triumph. "I immediately called Joe Cronin in Boston after hearing the decision and told him I was proud of him and so happyfor baseball," said Finley, who somehow always gets his way in the end. "There's no question in my mind but that he made the right decision. I think the decision he reached was so obvious." The decision was less obvious to Cronin who, at 67, had to make his "most com decision in 15 years as leaje president." Cronin, eagerly awaiting a Jan.

1 retirement, heard more than 11 hours of testimony over two days on the Williams case and a similar matter involving Ralph Houk's jump from the Yankees to the Detroit Tigers before making separate rulings. Cronin ruled in favor of Houk, reasoning that he had resigned and his resignation had been accepted by the Yankees before he signed with Detroit. The outgoing league president said he was glad the problems arose because they showed "that some baseball rule must be applied to cover managers' contracts. There is no such rule now." If Williams was left jobless by the ruling, the Yankee management was left speechless. New York came out of the hearings 0-2--losing one manager and unable to hire the other.

Yankee President Gabe Paul couched the team's disappointment in soft terms but it is known that privately New York officials feel "we was robbed." There still is a chance Williams can manage the Yankees next season, but only if Finley is allowed to grab the heart from New York's farm system. Finley reportedly would cut the legal ties that bind Williams for outfielder-first baseman Otto Veloz and pitcher Scott McGregor the cream of the Yankees' minor league crop. But, in Finleyesque fashion, the A's owner said after the decision that he may not want to give Williams away "for any compensation" now that he holds all the cards. "It's true that I had said I would before but as far as my thoughts on that subject now, I have no comment," Finley said from his LaPorte, home. So, unless the Yankees can file suit and win that suit, Dick Williams is a clay pigeon in Charlie Finley's legal cage.

ker of Hanover at .632, and third is Hanover's Jeff Jay, formerly of Earlham, at .616. Undefeated Defiance and Hanover lead the league standings with 4-0 and 3-0 marks, respectively, in loop play. They are the two top offensive teams, with Hanover scoring at an 89.6 clip and Defiance at 88.8. Earlham and Bluffton, the two top defensive clubs with respective average yields of 61.6 and 62.9, are next in line with 2-1 HBCC marks. Conference play resumes Jan.

(UPI) Arizona State sends its awesome offensive machine against Pittsburgh and its freshman wonder named Tony Dorsett in the third annual Fiesta Bowl Friday night.

The tenth-ranked Sun Devils led the nation in total offense, averaging 565.5 yards, and scoring, 44.6 points, with a veteran backfield in which each man got more than 1,000 yards in his specialty this season. Their only loss in 11 games was to Utah. The 19-year-old Dorsett ran for 1,586 yards, averaging 5.4 yards a carry, as he propelled Pitt to its first winning season in 10 years, first bowl appearance in 17 years and to a 6-4-1 record after a disastrous 1-9 mark in 1972. The Pitt comeback earned Johnny Majors the Football Writers of America Coach of the Year honor. The game will be a battle between a predominantly senior Arizona State team and a Pitt squad that has only four senior starters on offense and three on defense.
