ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1954 Shurtleff Snags Second Win In Prairie Conference, 79-59, DcnvtiingSpringfieldConcordia Shurtteff College's Pioneers got baek Into a winning stride with A 79-59 Prairie College Conference win over the Concordia Seminary Trojans here Tuesday night but it wasn't as easy as the 20 point margin might indicate. Concordia, an outfit that served as a punching bag last year Rhefl Sherrlll Hanks' Pioneers set conference records In a 10942 conquest, displayed able improvement with a new coach and a new zone defense, The CSoncordla gym, more suited to refrigerating meat ftiafl for playing basketball, might h'lve contributed to the general off of the Shurtleff scoring, although most of the credits must go to that zone defense and two big backline rebound- ers. The Pioneers, particularly guards Jim Carey and Ralph Freeman, fired time and again with negligible success In the first half. Shurtleff made only 11 of 39 field attempts in the first half plus 12 of 19 free throw attempts. Concordia, still as feeble as ever on its field goal (Its seven in the slaughter last year is smalltime PCC Low), emerged at half time with only six two-pointers but thanks to fantastic free throw shooting, the Trojans were still in the thick of tilings at intermission, trailing by only 34-31.

The home team, with Shurtleff stuck It by fouls to their own 10 made 19 of 29 free tosses to stay very much alive. The same sort of ridiculous affair carried over through first 10 minutes of the second half before Ronnie webb sprayed In two field goals and a lay-up, then Jim Carey added two free tosses for a 54-44 Shurtleff lead. Johnny Cuihm'an picked up foul and Hog Klemz, who made a remarkable 10 for 10 from the charity line, hooped his tosses to split the Pioneer lead to eight. Moments later Bobby Hunter was whistled for fouling Klemz, so Hanks called for time out to plot new strategy. Klemz made his free tosses, reducing the Pioneer lead to six, 64-48, but Shurtleff came back with an outcourt weave, stalling to pull out the zone.

Concordia, ready to face the fact that Jt was all over for the zone, immediately moved out with a press and that in turn left things all over for the Trojans. It was strange, but though Concordia applied the press for the 10 minutes, ir picked up only six fouls. Thai could be Interpreted as a remarkable defensive performance by the Trojans if the interpreter hadn't seen the game, at least. But with Jim Carey coming to life with a real burst against the press, Shurtleff sailed quickly out of sight, scoring 14 straight points in the lart four minutes or so while Concordia went score- IPSS. Carey, hitting only one of 11 first half rihots, poured through seven of 14 In the second half plus six of seven free throw attempts to wind up with 24 points.

Ralph Freeman, Carey's outcourl running mate, was Shurtleff's second best with 19. Ralphle, popping seven for 25 Including a basket as the final buzzer sounded, added five of seven free tosses. Don Harmon wag third high with three on shots and six of nine fren throws for 12 points. Webb had seven, Hunter five, Cuahman four, Art Borchers and Lawrence three apiece and Jim Bain two for the balance of the Pioneer scoring. Cocordla's attack was really balanced, 10 field goals and 39 free throws on 31 Shurtleff fouls.

Ralph Boyer, mixing In two baskets with his 16 of 22 free throws, was high for the Tro.Vans with 20 points, while Klemz finished with 12, Floyd Dahl with 10 and Marvin Relnhardt with nine. Shurtleff, now 2-1 after wins over Blackburn and Concordia plus a loss to Lincoln U. in overtime, seeks a third conference victory Saturday night at Greenville College before returning home for a big affair Monday, Dec. 13 at Wood River's Memorial gym against Southeast Missouri Stale's Indians from Cape Glrardeau.

But tho Porkers plugged along with thc'ir single, wing formation, an unfamiliar style In their part of the country, squeaking past Baylor by a point and three other rivals' by a touchdown. Even though they lost two games Arkansas finished as conference champion and Cotton Bowl entry and took tenth place in the final Associated Press ranking poll.

Owners Turn Down Increase In Minimum NEW YORK JP The major league owners rejected minimum salaries for players at their joint meeting Tuesday and gave the minor leagues an expected brush' off. In explaining why the owners turned thumbs down on the play ers' demand for a boost in minimum salary from $6,000 to $7,200, Commissioner Ford Frlck, who presided at the joint session, said: "Such an increase would be a pretty expensive item, because in the case of players sent down to the minors, the major league club would have tp continue to pay the minimum salary." The majors rejected an amendment by the minors restricting broadcasts and telecasts of big league games within a radius ol 50 miles of each home city. The owners, however, made an effort to help the minors financially by agreeing to pay minimum fees for players brought up from class and leagues.

They also agreec to pay part of the manager's sal ary and the spring training expenses for clubs with which they have a working agreement. The fees to be paid for work ing agreements are: $5,000 to class club, $4,000 to Class and $3,000 to class Formerly, the majors had to pay only an arbi trary fee of $100 for the right to call up players from the three low er leagues. The major leagues voted againsi cutting the player limit from to 23 players but adopted ai amendment that would bar a ma jor league club from signing a col legian once he begins his sophomore year until he either gradu atei or reaches the age ol 21. At Peorla, 01., Tuesday night, Bradley held a 30-26 halftime lead, but Alabama rallied to win 84-65, as George Linn led his 'Bama mates with 26 points. Bradley's Harvey Babetch scored 22..

Three top-ranked teams came Holy Cross, rated No. 5 in the Associated Press pre-season poll, whipped Massachusetts 83-64; seventh-ranked Dayton trimmed Miami ot Ohio 87-67; 10th rated North Carolina State beat Wake Forest 100-81; while St. Louis, No. 12, handed Texas Christian its first defeat of the season 7S-58. Duke, which had figured.to give North Carolina State a battle for Atlantic Coast Conference honors, dropped a 49-47 decision to Maryland.

It was Maryland's second straight victory. Everett got 18 points for Maryland, while Joe Belmont had 22 in Duke's losing cause.
