A 27th birthday was close, but you would have guessed him older. His naturally lean face now appeared gaunt. The Maris nerves were taut. Rory Carries On; 3 Brothers Out of Tourney BY MAURICE SHEVLIV There is only one left of the "Fearsome Four" O'Shea brothers in Golden Gloves, but he's a good one and he's ready to enter this year's competition which gets under way with the South section tournament Feb. 5 in St.

Rory, according to his Catholic Youth organization boxing instructor, Mike Triolo, will shoot for the 147 pound crown this time with the all-important Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions late next month as his principal objective. Brian Unbeaten Pro Rory's three brothers, Brian, Tommy, and Mike, all have other plans to pursue while this year's South and North side sectionals, the succeeding City title bouts, and the Tournament of Champions are being held. Brian is an up and coming professional, laving battled thru eight bouts without defeat.

Tommy recently entered the wedded bliss estate, and Mike just isn't interested, according to Triolo, However, Rory is expected to plug the gap left by the absence of Brian, Emigrates from Dublin It was shortly after the O'Sheas came over from Dublin that Rory won his first championship, the 1958 Chicago bantamweight title in Golden Gloves. In 1960 he was the C. Y. 0. lightweight champion and in 1961 won a raft of honors, starting with the C.

Tribimt OPEN DIVISION Joe Miller Henry Gorr HAWKS BATTLE LEAFS TONIGHT Chicago Aim: Outplay Thinking Man's Team BY TED DAMATA Tommy Ivan, the wistful general manager of the Black Hawks, admitted yesterday, without shifting gears on his sad countenance, that the Chicago National league team is playing improved hockey. He obviously is correct. He also is correct on the appendage, "but they can still play better." "We will need 100 per cent from everybody against Toronto," Ivan explained in reference to tonight's Stadium battle. "That is what they've been getting." Lead in Victories Ivan is correct, there, too. The Maple Leafs, here for their fifth game of the season on Stadium ice, have played good, inspired hockey.

It has moved them into second place, close on the heels of the Montreal Canadiens. The Leafs have won 26 games, more than any other team in the league They have lost only two of 22 home games, and have a good road record of eight victories, three ties, and 10 losses. In the Stadium, they are square with a victory, a loss, and two ties. "We have good to fine material," continued the Hawk general manager still in a cool, direct vein. "And we have depth.

We should be playing better hockey, and we will." Ivan again is correct. Man for man and as a whole, the Hawks are a better team than the Leafs. But the Hawks are not inspired to lofty efforts.

But if Ruth's record had been all that was at stake, Maris would have found those September days less taxing. A professional accepts pressure as his lot, not as a burden. Sometimes, tho, the pressure is compounded. It was for Maris, last September. He expressed it simply: "Besides going for the record, I also had to battle the Babe Ruth legend.

That was the tough part." BIG TEN HE NITS UPROAR AT OHIO STATE 'Ugly' Situation Marred Image' BY COOPER ROLLOW The uproar following Ohio State's decision early last month to reject a Rose bowl bid tended to further damage the "image of intercollegiate athletics," Bill Reed, Big Ten commissioner, declared yesterday. Reed, addressing the Chicago Junior Association of Commerce in the Wedgwood room at Marshall Field deplored the "intensity of feeling which tends to produce division between educators and athletic administrators." The Ohio State situation became "ugly," Reed said, when mass demonstrations were held by students and outsiders after the school's faculty committee voted to decline a Rose bowl invitation after the Buckeyes had won the Big Ten football title. Lauds Buckeye Captains "I was proud of the co-captains of the football team," Reed said. "They went before the masses and told them to quiet down. They had learned to take orders, to accept discipline.

Unfortunately, the same could not be said for those who led the demonstrations." Reed said it was his opinion that, in denying the Buckeyes participation in the Pasadena classic, Ohio State faculty rep- BILL REED defends bowls. resentatives "were trying to accomplish by indirection what they could not do by direction enhance the school's position as an academic institution."

23 A hustling Loyola of Chicago team raced to a 34 point lead tonight and coasted to a 96 to 73 victory over Loyola of New Orleans in a rare basketball game here involving Negro and white players. The roughly played game went without incident, and some 75 Negroes attended, about normal for a Loyola of New Orleans game. The Ramblers, winning their 11th decision against two losses, gained their biggest lead early in the second half, 66 to 32. All three Negroes in the Chicago starting lineup scored more than 20 points, with Jerry Harkness leading the way with 29. Les Hunter and Vic Rouse made 24 each and dominated the backboards, Rouse getting an ovation from the crowd of about 1,000 when he left late in the game.

Half time Loyola Chicago, 61 Loyolo New Orleans, 31. 'Never Again' George Ireland, coach of the Chicago Loyola basketball team which beat Loyola of New Orleans last night, tossed a segregation bombshell into the Chicago Basketball Writers association meeting yesterday. Ireland charged by telephone interview that his Loyola club had been the victim of unrelenting segregation ever since its arrival Monday in New Orleans. "It's been so bad that this probably will be our last trip down here," Ireland told an assemblage of writers over the amplified phone set-up in the Bismarck hotel.

5 Negroes on Squad Loyola's traveling squad includes five Negro players and five whites. Ireland explained that arrangements to house the entire squad at Xavier college in New Orleans had been canceled by that school. Thus Ireland's Negro athletes were quartered in two private homes and the rest at a downtown hotel. They were unable to ride together in cabs, and their pre-game meal was eaten in a restaurant operated by and catering only to Negroes. This was the Ramblers' second venture into New Orleans in three years.

The last time, when Ireland had three Negroes on his squad, including Clarence Red from New Orleans, the treatment was excellent, Ireland reported. Election Impending But there Is a city election coming up shortly," he added, "and this, too, is largely responsible." The situation was, not entirely unexpected. WTien Ireland found out Sunday that Xavier, a Negro school, had decided against quartering the Ramblers on its campus probably out of fear of intimidationhe polled his squad on whether the boys wanted to make the trip. "I'd have canceled the game if they had voted it down," added Ireland. Only Notre Dame's Johnny Jordan was present, and he credited Ireland for having the nerve to "go on a crusade like this."

RALPH H.YOUNG IS DEAD AT 72 Athletic Chief of Spartans 31 Years East Lansing, Jan. 23 UP) Ralph H. Young, 72, who built Michigan State university from an obscure college to a nationally known sports power during his 31 years as athletic director, died at his home today in East Lansing, the victim of an acute coronary. fYoung, who retired as Michigan State athletic director in 1954, was elected a state representative in 1956 and was reelected on the Republican ticket in 1958 and 1960. Young attended last night's session of the legislature, RALPH H.

Pair 1st 'Modern' Players Picked in Six Years Boston, Jan. 23 (LTD Pitcher Bob Feller and Infielder Jackie Robinson today were elected to the Baseball Kail of Fame to end a six year stalemate on admission to the shrine. Feller was an overwhelming choice on the first ballot for a niche in the Cooperstown, N. shrine, winning a place on 150 of 160 ballots filed by veteran members of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Robinson, the first Negro to play in the major leagues and, like Feller, eligible for selection for the first time this year, was named on 124 of the 160 ballots, only four more than the minimum 75 per cent or 120 needed for election.

He thus became the first Negro to be elected to the Hall of Fame. First Since 1938 The dual selection in the 1962 biennial election marked the first time a so-called modern player has been elected since Joe Cronin and Hank Green-berg were chosen in 1956. Under the rules, only players out of baseball for at least five years but less than 30 years and who were active for at least 10 seasons are eligible. Feller and Robinson far outdistanced anyone else on the ballot. Edgar Sam Rice finished third in the 1962 balloting with 81 points, just over half of the ballots cast and 39 short of election.

Feller, in 21 seasons for the Cleveland Indians, pitched three no-hit games, a dozen one-hitters, and made the record book with such accomplishments as 13 strikeouts in a single game, 348 strikeouts in a season, six seasons with 20 victories or better, and a single-season peak of 27 victories. He finished his career with a total of 266 triumphs. Robinson was the first Negro to play in the major leagues when he was brought up in 1947 and promptly became the National league's Rookie of the Year. He played for the Brooklyn Dodgers for 10 seasons, reaching his peak in 1949 when he was league batting champion with a .342 average. He had a .311 lifetime average and Continued on page 2, col.

He missed matching Ruth's 60 in 154 games, but totaled 61 home runs in a season stretched to 162 games. In all the new record books, Roger Eugene Maris is the season home run champ. The king wears his crown with dignity, and with ease, as we learned yesterday when Duke Zilber, Spalding's super salesman, captured Maris for us at the National Sporting Goods association convention. The home run king was as relaxed as a kitten, laughing and kidding tho a long line pressed for autographs.

Directly over the champ's head, a Spalding artist had lettered: "Roger Maris 2 in '62." WHAT ABOUT 62 home runs in '62? Maris: "No baseball player can live off last year's record, and the better player seeks to improve himself each season. I know, of course, that my chances of hitting more than 61 home runs are very slim. The odds are against it. "But I'm not going to start the season as a self-satisfied player. Home runs aren't everything, and there are several other things that I can improve upon.

I still have the incentive." Might some other player break the Maris mark? "Possibly." The champ, wearing green tie and green shirt, paused for another batch of autograph fans. Then he reflected. "I don't think there is so much pressure on the record, any more. I mean this the fellows who go after the mark from now on are just challenging Roger Maris. And really, who cares whether the Maris record falls? Ruth's record was different." Maris is a candid man, and still blames the press for part of the pressure.

"The writers and photographers all wanted something different. And if there was a question I didn't want to answer, some wouldn't accept that. They'd come back with the question phrased another way." MARIS SAID he realized the record was within reach after he hit his 51st homer. "I put some pressure on myself, too," he conceded, "by sitting out the game after I hit No. 60.

I'd have been criticized for taking the rest if I hadn't got No. 61. I' didn't care, tho. I really needed that day off." Since the season's end, Maris has spurned many money-making opportunities because he wants time with his wife, Pat, and four children of pre-school age. He is building a home in Kansas City.

It'll have an office, and a trophy room. The most precious trophy in that room will be the bat that clouted Nos. 59, 60, and 61. Zilber, who once managed Maris in the minors and signed him to endorse sporting goods, suggested Maris give youngsters advice on saving money. Maris said: "In the minor leagues it was a struggle to save.

For many major leaguers it is a struggle, because of heavier taxes and the necessity to go first class. But our family lives modestly and I get to the bank pretty often. My 1960 and 1961 world series cuts went right into the savings account" GOLDEN GLOVES Please enter me in the 35th annual Golden Glove amateur boxing tournament sponsored by Chicago Tribune Charities, Inc.
