Fine Team Effort Tom Renie, however, played a bang-up game throughout, on both, offense and defense.

Lester Hart came in (several times to stop charging 1 backs, and the entire Tipton backfield united with the line in by far the toest performance Tipton has given this year.

With four'h down and two to go, the Shamrocks spread to receive the kick, Cap'ain crossed them up and handed off to Smith who drove for 12 yard's and a first down on Westfield's 47. The quarter ended with Captain punting on the first play of the second period, after Westfield had stopped the Tipton advance. Tipton held the Shamrocks and finally got the bajl nthe Tipton 47 after a' Westfield punt.

(Continued -on Page 6) Gunman Kills Self As Holdup Fails CLEVELAND, Ohio UPI) A daring gunman took his own. life today as.police smashed, a bizarre plot in which robbers tried to hold up a bank by kidnaping the manager from his home and threatening to blow up his family if the robbery failed.

The gunman, who remains unidentified, shot himself to climax an hour-long gunfight with police who surrounded the bank after the manager's family freed themselves and notified police. Police broadcast an alert for a female accomplice, and another man believed involved in the robbery. I The stickup began when' the robber and a woman broke (into the jiome of. Herbert Fox about two hours before the bank was scheduled to open. They tied up his wife and daughters and forced Fox at gunpoint to drive them to the bank.

Before leaving, the warned that a bomb left in the home would explode if the holdup was unsuccessful. When they reached the bank the woman drove off while the robber forced Fox to open the bank. The robber then took other em- ployes as they arrived and herded them into the manager's office. Fox's family worked free from their bonds and called police. More than 20 cars rushed to the bank while other police sped to Fox's home to disarm the bomb.

Shortly before the police arrived at the bank, the robber scooped up-money in a bag as two Brinks men arrived -at the front door. The robber, fired at them and they quickly retreated. Police surrounded the building and began pouring shots and tear gas into the bank while a loudspeaker called for the robber to He suddenly shouted that he was going to release the hostages. They crawled out -through broken windows and police resumed their attack. A short time later there was no response from inside the bank.

Police entered and found the robber dead in the basement. COON.

The air was crisp and cool and tempered with an autumn haze: as; Khrushchev and his party arrived for a full day in the rich Iowa countryside.

About four miles from the big cornfield, Khrushchev saw some men harvesting grain sorghum. He asked that the car be stopped so he watch. Garst met Khrushchev at hotel and guided his party to the farm about an Adlai Stevenson, the''l95? and 1956 Democratic presidential nominee, with whom Khrushchev will talk during the Coon Rapids tour.

Four hundred soldiers were stationed at the farm, assigned! to keep spectators from trampling Garst's crops. Army helicopters landed and took off, while Garst's cows and pigs gazed inquisitively at the interruption in their morning feeding.
