(AP) The 21st annual Gator bowl football-game will be played on Friday, December 31, 1965. W. Ashley Verlander, outgoing president of the bowl association, said the executive committee voted to move the game from Saturday for the first time in 11 years.

We are doing this for a number of reasons, the main one being the conflict on television with the Orange, Rose, Sugar and Cotton bowls if we stuck to Saturday this year, Verlander said.

I was pleased we could hold him to 24, pointed out Wilkinson. Hes one of the best players in the area. With the Paseo game ticketed for tomorrow night, thatll give Central a 2-days rest before meeting Sumner.

From what I hear, says Wilkinson, loud enough for his players to hear, theres no one In the area who can touch them. I just hope we can give them a good game. The Central-Sumner game is expected to draw a packed house; theres no reason it shouldnt. VALENTINE p. Lincoln i Southwest at Rockhurst.

AMERICA'S LARGEST SELLING BRAND AH but lost in the shuffle of it, is Saturday nights 4-star attraction featuring fourth-ranked Central and Sumner, the areas top-rated team Last weekend, when Central nipped Lincoln, everything was shipshape as far as Central was concerned. The victory gave it sole possession of first place with a 4-0 record, and dumped Lincoln, Paseo and Van Horn into a 5-way scramble for second place at 3-1. Now the forfeit has thrown the entire picture out of focus. If Paseo pulls an upset on Central tomorrow night and its i 1 and Lincoln follows form by. beating Horn, then, presto, you have a 4-way tie for first place.

But thats not all. With four clubs sharing the lead with one defeat, the door opens on the mathematical possibilities of those clnbs with only two defeats Manual and Southeast-Neither Jim Wilkinson at Central nor Roger Wendel at Van Horn knows just how the new alignment will affect his team. 'It doesnt help our pride, commented Wendel yesterday. But it might help us later. Im not sure what to expect, commented Wilkinson.

Right now Im concerned about Paseo Im afraid theres a tendency to take them lightly. Van Horn has been the sleeper of the league. The Falcons dropped three of their first five games, but since tapping De La Salle, 81-75, in mid-December they have posted a 6-2 record, including the forfeit. Wendel points out the slow start goes back to the fact that all but three of his squad members were out for football, and that only eight days separated the two seasons. I know we havent got the physical height and power we need, but when everything goes To Allow Time for Inventory SIEAmS- (CMDSIES By Dick Mackey (A Member The Star's Sports Staff) N-COURT action in the Interscholastic league reaches traffic-jam proportions starting tonight, but already enough off-court happenings have taken place to snag things up.

As if an 11-game slate highlighted by five league games and a nonconference meeting between Central and' Sumner werent enough, there was yesterdays announcement that Southwest has forfeited its 88-58 victory over Van Horn. That forfeit immediately tossed Van Horn into a tie with Central for the league lead, eliminated Southwest from any title prospects and underscored the importance of this weeks games between Central and Paseo and Van Horn and Lincoln. right I think we can give anyone a game. -Ralph Watley, a 6-foot senior forward, is the leagues second leading scorer with a 20.7 average. Dennis, his younger brother, is 14th with a 12-point average.

Dennis, however, has been a terror when Van Horn has played on its home-court, hitting 26 against De La Salle and 25 against Northeast. Now, added Wendel, if I can get him to score over at the field house Wendel also has been pleased with the improvement of Mike Lundy, his 6-3 pivot; Wayne Kelsey, a 6-2 junior, and Ken Thornton and Don Smith, among others. Van Horns next three games offer a good test. Following Friday nights game with Lincoln, the Falcons face Excelsior Springs Saturday and Central next week. As for Wilkinson hed like to forget about Sumner for the time being and concentrate on Paseo.

A loss to the Bucs could be a costly blow. The Eagles 53-49 victory over De La Salle almost two weeks ago, coupled with their decision over Lincoln, underscores the fpet they are near full stride. By Joe McGuff (Associate Sports Editor ot The Star) ITS amazing the lengths some baseball players will go just to make sure their batting averages are correct. Last night Wayne Causey, the Athletics talented shortstop, was graduated from Northeast Louisiana State college with a bachelor of science degree in accounting. If the official league statistician double dribbles a decimal next season or drops a point from Waynes batting average, he can expect a call not from shortstop Wayne Causey, but from accountant Wayne Causey.

It seems reasonable to assume that Wayne would open the conversation by saying: You know, Im not the type to complain, but From that point he could go on to bring out the statisticians inadaquacies and suggest that perhaps it would be well if he availed himself of Chaddocks Principles of Statistics or Patons Essentials of Accounting. Most statisticians tend to be a little testy when their accuracy is questioned. But if the criticism comes from an accountant, theres really not much they can say. Theres one thing Causey must be quite careful about, however. That is keeping track of the number of outs in each inning.

Last year even Chuck Hinton, then with the Washing- ton Senators, had a rather unfortunate experience against the As. Hinton caught a fly ball with' the bases loaded. He thought it was the third out when it really was the second. Hinton came trotting in with the ball while two runs scored. The boo-boo was embarassing enough for Hinton, but just imagine what would be said if it happened to a graduate accountant.

CAUSEY IS ONE OF A SMALL NUMBER OF MAJOR leaguers who have completed work for a college degree after signing a professional baseball contract right out of high school. The achievement is typical of Causey, who is one of the most dedicated players in baseball. Causey graduated from Neville high school in Monroe, in June of 1955. He signed a bonus contract with the Baltimore Orioles for a reported $30,000. Following the close of the 1956 season Causey enrolled at Northeast Louisiana.

He attended each fall semester thereafter. Now, nine years later, he has earned his degree. As ambitious as he is, Causey admits the last two semesters have been extremely difficult. Now that he has established himself in the majors, he has been playing under greater pressure than ever before. By early October he has been ready for a vacation.

Instead he forced himself to go off to school. Dwight D. Vines, dean of the school of business administration at Northeast, regards Causey as an outstanding stu TTdDDDAY Open Today Thursday and Friday Country Club Plaza Store 1500 Cleveland Avenue dent. i. Fixers Draiv Jail Terms In England Nottingham, England (AP) Jimmy Gauld, one of 10 professional soccer players charged with throwing games In order to win bets, was sentenced to' four years in jail yesterday and ordered to pay $14,000 legal costs in Britians biggest trial involving soccer fixes.

Nine other players also were given jail terms. Jack Fountain and Brian Phillips were sent to jail for 15 months, Richard Beattie for nine months and Kenneth Thomson, Ron Howells and Samuel Chapman for six months. Tony Kay and Peter Swan, both English international players, and David Bronco Layne drew 4-month jail terms. Monday Finds Boivling Queen Back in League Salt Lake City (AP) What do national champion bowlers do after winning a tournament? They rush right home so they wont miss the Monday night league. At least, thats what Utahs first national bowling champion did.

Ann Slattery, the Salt Lake City housewife who won the womens title Sunday in the National All-Star bowling tournament in Philadelphia, was back at her favorite bowling alley Monday night. But instead of bowling, the leaguers gave her a homecoming welcome and reception. KEN BOYER HONORED Wayne has been a real good student, Dean Vines commented. He has maintained a average, which is particularly impressive when you consider that he has had to report late for classes each year because of baseball. Whats more, accounting is not one of our easier programs.

Last year Causey was named to Whos Who in American Universities and Colleges. CAUSEY IS PLANNING TO MAKE HIS HOME IN KAN-sas City if he can find the type of job he waqts following the close of the 1965 season. He has sold his home in Monroe. His family will remain in Monroe until school is out this spring and then join him here. Causey is not too demanding in his job' preferences.

He puts it this way: I just want an 8 to 5 job that will let me stay in one place. Im tired of traveling. If Causey does settle here permanently, he will be one of many baseball players who have decided to make their home in Greater Kansas City. Of the players and former players living here now the most famous are Hank Bauer, manager of the Baltimore Orioles, and Roger Maris, the New York Yankee outfielder. Others making their homes here are Norm Siebern, Ed Charles, Bob Cerv, John Wyatt, Bill Tuttle, Whitey Herzog, Diego Se-gui and Orlando Pena.

Ray Sadecki, the St. Louis Cardinals 20-game winner who was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas, returned here last fall after making his home in Florida for several years. If Causey is as good an accountant as he is a shortstop hell be running his own firm here in the near future.

Hit IMIDE-III FIUCES SUM Detroit Ready to Pinch Hit in 1968 Olympics i (AP) Detroits Olympic committee, which failed in its attempt to get the 1968 games, says the city is ready to pinch hit if Mexico City cant handle the event.

JUAN MARICHAL FAILS Seven Score Against Giants' Ace in Dominican League Santo Domingo (AP) Juan Marichal, ace of the San Francisco Giants pitching staff, was shelled from the mound as the Aguilas Cibaenas defeated the Escogido team, 8-6, in the playoffs for the Dominican baseball champoinship last night. Marichal, a 21-game winner in the National league last year, was rocked for seven runs and eight hits in less than five innings. The most damaging blow was a home run by Willie Smith, Los Angeles Angels outfielder. The 27-year-old right-hander pitched despite a boil under his right arm. He has not yet signed his 1965 contract with the Giants.

UMPIRE WONT MJIT Javier Figures in Dispute In Dominican League Santo Domingo (AP) Emmett Ashford, the umpire who was punched by Julian Javier of the St. Louis Cardinals during a Dominican league game last Friday, changed his mind Monday about resigning. Javier originally was handed an indefinite suspension. Later the league president, JuUo Coe-llo, reduced the punishment to a 3-game suspension and a $50 fine. A dispute followed between Ashford and Coello, and the umpire resigned.

Coello said the dispute arose because Ashford contended the ultimate penalty should have been heavier.
