The Plainsmen cracked the Swedes first half zone defense via some terrific outside shooting by Dick Nelson. 4F i' i i 1 80 points in only two games, WW lei Dick Play New York UP) The Syracuse Nationals of the National Basketball Association agreed Thursday to allow Dick Barnett to play with the Cleve land Pipers of the rival American Basketball League. The agreement between the two clubs was reached only a few hours after a Cleveland judge handed down a court order barring Barnett from competing with the Pipers. A spokesman for the NBA said the two clubs reached an 4amicable settlement over the matter, but declined to specify the terms.

At the same time, the spokesman announced the New York Knicks of the NBA and San Francisco's ABL team had reached an agreement over Kenny Sears, now playing with San Francisco. Presumably, both were cash settlements. A Federal judge rejected a request by the Knicks last June that Sears be permanently restricted from playing with San Francisco. Sears had a damage suit pending against the Knicks, charging violation of the anti trust act. The spokesman did not spell out terms of the New York San Francisco agreement.

Common Pleas Court Judge Saul S. Danaceau granted Syracuse a permament injunction Thursday preventing Barnett from competing with the Pipers, apparently basing his decision on the reserve clause in a Syracuse contract signed by Barnett. Syracuse obtained the injunction which it now has agreed not to exercise on Worry 4 vvH rvy ERNIE DAVIS signs autograph for Kathleen, 11, while the East and West Shrine bowl football teams visit the Shrine Hospital in San Francisco.

POINT BLANK Nelson zeroed in for 9 of 12 field goal attempts In the first half and scored Wesley an's first 10 points on 5 straight fielders.

Bethany had only one lead in the game at 6 4 in the opening minutes before the Plainsmen gradually moved ahead. An outburst of 8 straight points at the end of the first half gave the Plainsmen a 48 33 half time lead. Five points by Jim Munford and a free throw by Nelson boosted Wesleyan to a 22 point lead before the Swedes could score in the second half. Bethany's second half man to man defense didn't fare any better than the first half zone, as Coach Irv Peterson switched cameras by inserting sparkplugs Don Beckman and Ed Stevens for his sharpshooters. Stevens and Beckman worked the fast break like it was going out of style and the tiring Swedes couldn't keep the pace.

Barring a few miscues, the two little guards handled the running game masterfully, consistantly catching the opposition with fewer men on the defensive. Stevens picked up 14 points in the second half and Beckman tallied 10. Mel Hawbecker boosted the Plainsmen over 100 with two free throws with onlv 22 seconds remaining in the game and the score standing 99 60.

BROWNS SIGN DAVIS TO 3 YEAR CONTRACT By Don Bryant Sports Editor, The Star Ernie Davis of Syracuse, All America halfback voted the Heisman Trophy as the nation's outstanding football player, brought a camera. He was a hit with the little girls, taking their pictures and posing with them. Most of the players were assigned to youngsters. When they ran out of players, kids shared 'em. Tony Parilli, a guard from Illinois, was assigned to a little girl who had to stay flat in her bed.

Parilli's pal, shy and wide eyed, didn't smile at Parilli. He drew a chair next to her bed, put his face right next to hers and said: "Hi." That did it. They chatted and gossiped and laughed, the burly football player and the slender girl. Bill Triplett, a fullback from Miami of Ohio, was brought to a nurse holding Michael, llk chubby and blue eyed. One of Michael's legs is almost 10 inches shorter than the "Go ahead and grab him," the nurse told Triplett, "you won't hurt him." Triplett did.

Michael hugged Triplett. Boy, did they hit it off. When Fate Echols, a 251 pound tackle from Northwestern, wanted to hold Mike, the chi'd looked at Triplett. Triplett nodded and Mike went into Echols' arms, the tender est tackle big Fate ever made. The All Americas were there, the coaches were there, and the wives of the married players were there.

The kids kept 'em jumping, carrying their autograph albums through the wards for signatures, and bringing players to bedsides. "I wanna see Bob Ferguson," said one lad. A minute later, the bruising fullback from Ohio State was there, holding a tiny hand. Fred, 4, shouted, "hey, I got $11!" "Pipe down," said Jim Skaggs, the Washington guard, who blushed and told a bystander, "Heck, I just gave him half a dozen pennies for his wallet. C'mon, Fred, quit exaggerating." An all conference lineman, eased out a door, took out a handkerchief and blew his nose.

He looked up and no ticed a reporter standing next to him, wiping his glasses. bank is staying on as head coach of the Baltimore Colts. An announcement Thursday from Carroll Rosenbloonv owner of the National Football League team, ended weeks of speculation that the short and stocky coach might be fired Rosenbloom's pronouncement, made after his annual evaluation meeting with Colt general manager Don Kellett and Ewbank, was worded routinely It did not even men tion the coaching job, Ew bank's contract or the rumors that this season would be Ew bank's last. Ewbank, 50, has been coach ing the Colts since 1954, two years after Baltimore returned to the NFL, His an nual salary has been reported unofficially at $30,000. i It would have cost the club twice that amount to let him go.

Ewbank has a unique contract which renews itself automatically each season for 3 more years. So the Colts will have to pay him two years' salary when they're ready to part company. During his 8 seasons with the Colts, Ewbank has been the only NFL coach to win two championships in 1958 and 1959. Beginning with 1957, when he coached the Colts to their first winning season, Ewbank has a record of 39 victories and 23 losses a .645 percentage. In 1960, however, the record dropped to 6 6.

A loss to the Los Angeles Rams Dec. 9 gave strength to the rumors Ewbank would be out of a job. Buffalo club had offered substantially more cash. Report! had placed the Buffalo offer at about $135,000. "Ernie sacrificed a very substantial sum of money in accepting the Browns' offer," DeFilippi said.

'But I believe Ernie's future can best be served in the established com pany of the National Football League and with a team like the Browns. Ralph Wilson, president of the Buffalo club, is a very fine gentleman, but he couldn't offer Ernie the opportunity to prove his ability as a player while his league is still so young." Modell said there weren't words "to express my bappL ness now that Ernie hag de elded to play with us." add ing: "It's certainly gratifying to know that young athletes like Davis consider their long range future rather than immediate financial gain. cm EEAR SEAT RADIO SPEAKERS Complete with war twitch and $4 59 CHROME ACCESSORIES Tachometer Stewart Warner Gauge.

Pender registered a 7th round technical knockout over Downes here a year ago but lost the disputed crown to the Englishman in London last July, originally was scheduled to defend against the former Brookline, fireman here in September but suffered a hand injury. Since that time Downes has request and received permission from the British board of boxing control to have a non title 10 round warmup tight, it will take place in London January 24 against Wilfie Greaves of Providence, R.I. At the same time the British board, according to Sil verman, said it would suspend Downes thereafter until he fulfills the return bout contract with Pender for which the Englishman posted a $50 000 bond. Pender has no plans for a warmup but will train for two months. Downes is expected to arrive in the United States March 28 to conclude preparations.

Nagel Atention, Daredevils Heroism and good conduct medals do not adorn my much too smali and mothy uniforms, and it's too late now to remedy the situation. That's why panicked the other day when two gentlemen approached my desk with a novel idea. "We'd like to take you through our ground training program, then take you up for some jumps," one fellow proposed.

"Then you could do a story about our club." Speaker was Lowell Ham, president of the Lincoln Sport Parachute Club, and with him was Marion Janousek, club vice president, I quickly chickened out on any deal that would include me jumping out of an airplane. Despite thousands of miles of air travel in my log book, I still go into shock over little things like the "No Smoking" flashing on or the flaps going down. 'No Sweat' But Ham and Janousek were persistent salesmen, both on the thrills and the safety factors connected with free fall 'chuting, "Look at the football players who've been killed and the golfers who've had heart attacks or been struck by lightning," Ham said. "Why, since 1959 there have been only 3 deaths among members of the Parachute Club of America one guy drowned, one didn't pull his rip cord and the other pulled his too late." I felt better at least, enough better to find out more see Green Bay, Wis. MWThe Green Bay Packers went through a steaming workout in 11 degree temperatures Thursday, somewhat less than cheered by word from Paul Hornung that he was getting a 6 day leave starting Dec.

27 from Ft. Riley, Kan. "If Hornung shows up that late, he'll have a difficult time getting ready to coach Vince Lombard! said. The great halfback, just chosen the National Football League's Most Valuable Player and for the second year in a row its top scorer despite being called to Army service, already has missed 7 weeks of practice and two league games. If he doesn't get his holiday leave before Dec.

27, he'll barely be able to make one or two workouts before the Packers take the field here Dec. 30 for the NFL cham pionship game with the New York Giants. Meanwhile, two other Army reservists were due in from Ft. Lewis. Both linebacker Ray Nitschke and flanker back Boyd Dowler have 14 day passes.

The Washington Redskins selected Davis as their first choice in the recent NFL draft. He also was drafted by the Buffalo Bills of the rival American Football League, who had made a concentrated effort to sign him to a contract, Washington gave Cleveland the right to negotiate with Davis in exchange for Bobby Mitchell, a veteran halfback, and the rights to LeRoy Jackson, speedy halfback from Western Illinois University who was a first round draft choice of the Browns. Modell said the Browns would pay Davis a total of $80,000 over a 3 year period a bonus of $15,000 and $65. 000 in salary. Davis, the first Negro ever to win the Heisman Trophy, broke all the rushing and scoring records set by Jimmy Brown, another all America, at Syracuse and now becomes his teammate with the Browns.

Brown has been the top fullback in the NFL since hts 1957 rookie season and this year won a record fifth straight league rushing title. Anthony W. DeFUippo of Elmira, N.Y., long time friend and adviser of Davis, ap proved acceptance of the Browns' offer although the PLANS TO STAY AT UTAH RAY NAG EL WON'T TAKE NU GRID JOB Salt Lake City (UPI) Ray Nagel, head football coach at the University of Utah, Thursday withdrew at a candidate for the vacant coaching Job at the University of Nebraska. Nageri decision to stay at Utah was made after he arrived from Wichita, Kan.f where he conferred with Nebraska Athletic Director Tippy Dye. 5 Candidates about the local club, which includes the wives of the two officers, as well as Ernie Janousek, Richard Waikup, Dennis Fisher, Owen Best, Clyde Peters and Everett Smith.

The club has a regular training program, which includes thorough instruction in landing procedures, on the ground before a member is ever allowed to jump. "After he's passed all the ground tests, he must pass static line (chute opens from the plane) drops," Janousek an ex paratrooper said. "Then he practices clear and fall (opening the chute himself), and after he's mas stered that, he can start on free fall." "Free Fail," by the way, is that batman hit performed on the TV show "Ripcord." The bailer outer glides down, passing batons, maneuvering, then at 2,200 feet pulls the rip cord and glides to earth. Family Opposition "It's really a challenge and great sport," said Ham. "And we have two chutes and only once in 1,500 drops since I've been in the club has a reserve chute been used.

And that wasn't an emergency just helped make a landing easier when a panel blew out of the main chute." Ham was talked into the sport by Janousek and admits he had a few problems at first. "1 was scared the first time, you darn right," he said. 1 didn't see or hear anything on the way Janousek said, "It took 3 weeks to talk him and his family Into jumping. His wife wouldn't even watch him." "My wife finally watched me all the time, then decided she wanted to Jump, too," Ham Interjected. Janousek explained the secret to successful para chuting: "Just learn about your equipment and use it properly.

Then you'll be O.K." National Fad The sport actually is picking op a lot of followers, from all walks of life more than 7,000 in the PCA and some 200 clubs have been organized. Ham's group is one of two now operating in Lincoln, by the way. Saturday (weather permitting) the JJSPC will stage 3 hour Salvation Army benefit drop exhibition the Janousek and Ham couples will be in action at 70th and Street, commencing at 1 p.m. Drops are slated every 15 minutes.
