Fondy compiled 35Vi points and, as expected, won the Relays with ease. Unexpected was the strong Neenah showing which resulted in second place with 21 points. The Rockets didn't win an event, but scored in seven of the 12 tests to come in just ahead of a trio of schools with 20 points each, including Oshkosh. Others tied for third were Sheboygan South and Manitowoc.

The Cardinal strongmen dominated the shot put and discus events but failed to set any new records with Rick Koeck a bit off his usual form because of an Neenah's steady performance throughout the meet brought an elated look to the face of Coach Glenn Severson. Neenah climbed from 11th in the conference indoor meet to second in the relays. "This is readily a credit to our runners," Severson commented. "A real team effort all the way." The spunky Rockets were in the thick of things from the outset capturing two thirds and a fourth in the field events. Neenah went on to tally eight points in the two mile relay and medley relay with a pair of seconds and added a third in the four mile and a fourth place finish in the mile relay.

The Rockets got stellar performances from Doug Angerer, Ed Hawley, Mike Gagnon and Don Gullickson to finish nine- ankle injury. Fondy compiled a 161-8'A aggregate in the shot with Koeck, Brian Harney and Dan Adams contributing. All three had to give way to Steve Riese of Oshkosh, who had a 58-10 heave just a couple of inches short of his top throw this season. Riese's top effort sparked the Indians to second in the shot put. Another fine effort for Oshkosh came from Dennis Dahl, who snapped the 6-3 barrier in the high jump to lead the Indian trio to a second-rplace finish.

Sheboygan North took the high jump with a 17-6 total. Mike Peters led Oshkosh to its lone first in pole vault competition with a 12-6 vault, an effort duplicated by North's Mike Kulas for the top individual effort of the meet. tenths of a second behind the strong Fondy team in the medley in a 3:42 clocking. Bruce Alberg, Jim Hill-e a and Gary Zeinert guided the Rockets to a third in shot put competition and Kim Parrot teamed with Jim Hoelzel and the versatile Mike Gagnon to capture third in the discus. A fourth in the mile relay shook Neenah loose from the raggle of schools around the 20-point mark with one event remaining.

Jon Huffman, John Arpin, Rick Matson and Gullickson churned to a 3:37.1, good for the two points that nudged the Rockets into second place. One meet record was eclipsed when Sheboygan South totaled 62-5 in the long jump to snap the existing mark by two inches. The five-year-old record had been held by Green Bay West and will now permanently stand, since the existing FRVC has had its final conference athletic event.

Northwestern photo By TOM WOODROW Northwestern Sports Writer MENASHA "Oscar Robertson is a super player in every sense of the word, he's a great scorer, a great leader, and a great ball-handler. He'll be a very valuable asset." Larry Costello, head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association, spoke glowingly of his latest addition to the team, in an interview just priori to the Menasha High School. All Sports Banquet held Monday. Costello was the guest speaker at the banquet which honored Tom Scovronski as Menasha's New Baseball Contract Has Enriched Benefits Captures ABA Title Pacers Down draft, Costello commented, "Sure, losing Crawford is going to cost us, but you're always going to get hurt in the expansion no matter what.

"What I can't figure out," Costello went on, "is how the Knicks didn't get hurt in the draft." The Bucks' coach had plenty to say about New york's entry in the NBA. When asked if the Knicks played as well against the Bucks as they played against the Lakers, Costello responded, "How could they play any better? They all can shoot, they all can play and they have really Stars 53 at the half, and trailed going into the final quarter, 80-78. Sharman said the turning point may have come when their 7-0 center, Craig Raymond, wrenched his right ankle after 6:57 of the third quarter. Los Angeles was ahead, 64-62. But on came Brown, who averaged 32.7 points for the six games.

A 8,233. and Gale Sayers was praised for his courage Monday night by the New York Chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America. Coach Stram was honored as Super Man of the Year for leading the Kansas City Chiefs to the championship of pro football, climaxed with a Super Bowl victory over Minnesota. "Of all the honors I have received, tonight's holds the greatest honor for me," Sayers, the great halfback of the Chicago Bears, said after receiving the George Halas Award as Most Courageous Player in Pro Football. Sayers rushed for more than 1,000 yards, after missing about half of the 1968 season because of a knee injury.

Quarterback Joe Kapp of Minnesota was honored as the National Football League Player of the Year, and quarterback Daryl Lamonica of Oakland was recognized as American Football League Player of the Year. Dan Reeves, owner of the Los Angeles Rams, was honored for long and meritorious service to pro football. Reeves is hospitalized and his award was accepted by former Ram greats, Bob Waterfield and Elroy Hirsch. In 1972, a player cut after May 15 will receive his entire 'contract sateryr' The owners and players have already agreed on increases in minimum pay with the rate going from $10,000 to $12,000 in 1970, $12,500 in 1971 and $13,500 in 1972. Other adjustments include an increase in spring training allowances from $15 to $17 per day in 1971; a cost of living increase; increased moving expenses; and improved working conditions.

The reserve ruling was set aside, pending the outcome of the Curt Flood case. However, it can be reopened on 10-day notice at the end of the season in which litigation ends. Flood is suing baseball for $3 million on an anti-trust charge after refusing to accept his trade from St. Louis to jor points of disagreement: the length of the season, playoff compensation and termination pay;" The clubowners won out on the issue of the 162-game regular season, citing long term radio and television contracts as factors. However, on the playoff kitty, owners offered to increase the players' share from 50 per cent to 60 per cent, with all expenses coming out of the owners' share.

Under the new termination agreement, a player will get 30 days' salary if cut during spring training, and 60 days' pay if cut during the regular season. Previously, a player did not receive anything if dropped during the spring and only 30 days' pay if he was let go after the season had begun. LOS ANGELES (AP) The Indiana Pacers, newly crowned champions of the American Basketball Association, flew home today for a champagne party they've been planning for days. The Pacers, solid pre-playoff favorites, were forced to go six games before they finally subdued the upstart, orphan Los Angeles Stars Monday night, 111-107. The champagne has been on ice in Indianapolis for almost a week.

"It just wasn't our night but it sure was a night for Roger Brown," said the Stars' coach, Bill Shaman. He referred to Indiana's 6-5 forward, a two-year ABA man from Dayton, whose 45 points, which included an ABA playoff record seven three-point field goals, wrecked the Stars. There were 8,233 fans in the Sports Arena. Ironically, it was the largest crowd the Stars, or their predecessors, the Anaheim Amigos, ever attracted in Southern California- and it came in the last game for the team in Los Angeles. outstanding and most valuable athlete of the 1969-70 year.

"Robertson has been a very consistent player in the NBA and we anticipate that he will be a big help to the rest of our players," Costello continued. "Robertson will enable us to rest Al-cindor more often. "There is no one in the league who can stop Oscar on the one-on-one if Robertson makes up his mind to score." Regarding the Bucks' loss of Fred Crawford, the fiery back-court man who shuffled off to Buffalo in the expansion Stars' owner Bill Daniels of Denver has announced the team will leave, bound for either Salt Lake City or possibly back to Anaheim. The Pacers coach, Bob Leonard, had compliments for all his own star, Brown, such reserves as Tom Thacker, Art Becker and John Barnhill. And also for Sharman and the Stars.

Brown, whose seven three-pointers erased the record of six set in 1969 by Chico Vaughn of the Minnesota Pipers against Miami, was asked if he'd like to play the champion New York Knicks of the rival National League. "No not till next year," he replied, chuckling. "Right now I want to rest." "Indiana," said Sharman, "is one of the better basketball teams in the Other than one or two teams in the NBA, Indiana could hold its own and be a definite contender." In a game that was close all the way, one in which the lead changed hands 23 times and was tied 14, Indiana led after the first period, 34-27; 54- Brewers' Errors Boost Twins jelled. The acquisition of Dave DeBusschere has really filled them out. "The Knicks will be tough again next year, but so will the Lakers, so will Boston and Baltimore.

Actually, there are very few weak links in the NBA chain." "Costello, who is credited with the great progress of the Bucks in the space of one year, had this to say about winning in professional basketball. "It takes mostly talent to win in the NBA, and a little bit of luck. We had a little luck in the flip of the coin to get Alcindor. "We couldn't have won 56 games without Alcindor but it doesn't end there. We couldn't have won 56 games without Dandridge either.

What a pleasant surprise he turned out to be," Costello remarked about his fourth-round draft choice who earned a starting role in the Milwaukee lineup. "He wouldn't have made a bad rookie of the year selection either." Costello concluded the interview with remarks about the future of the Bucks in Milwaukee. "No one needs a new arena any more than we do and I hope it's coming soon. "It takes a while to break into a new city with an expansion team, usually at least three years. But we've done it in two, and it is due to the great fans we have in Milwaukee and all over the state.

"We are pleased with our progress, but we won't be happy until we are champions." Banquet host and MHS Athletic Director Tom Weede and Toastmaster Bill Vogel wasted little time in turning the program over to Costello, who immediately impressed the audience of some 330 athletes and coaches and school officials with the seriousness of his involvement with athletics. "In all sports," Costello stated, "there are 'players and there are winners. Willis Reed is a winner. Jerry West is a winner. Bill Russell was a winner.

We want winners at Milwaukee and you should want winners here." Costello also had something to say for the benefit of high school athletes. "I believe that there will always be a place in sports for the small man, but he will have to work harder. "The average height of players in the NBA is around 6-5, but it's the small man that makes the game exciting, for the small man is the play-maker, the sparkplug and the real excitement of athletics." Costello gave his equation for success in sports and it had nothing to do with size. "Physical conditioning plus desire plus team loyalty plus sacrifice equals victory. The old Boston Celtics are as good an example of ths as there is." Costello, a small man in relation to the current trend of the game of basketball and a man who played the game for 12 years as a pro, stressed one final point of importance as a prerequisite for a career in sports.

"You've got to love the game, I know I could never have played 12 years if I hadn't loved every minute of it." "I'll see you all In Milwaukee next season," concluded the Bucks' head conch. Another, and a very impressive, highlight of the banquet was the awarding of Most Valuable Athlete trophy to a most deserving young athlete. NEW YORK (AP) The major league baseball season will remain at 162 games but the players will he enriched shortly by nearly $4 million in benefits when a new three-year contract is signed. The agreement between the Major League Baseball Players Association and clubowners will give the players $800,000 immediately, Marvin Miller, executive director of the association, said Monday. He estimated that the players would benefit to the tune of $4 million over the three years.

Miller, recommending acceptance of the pact, said all 24 player representatives had been contacted and a final vote is due within a week. It is expected that the owners will ratify the package at the same time. The players had rejected an earlier owners' proposal by a 505-89 vote, based on three ma Tommy Harper committed an error, Ted Kubiak helped the Twins with two errors, and Steve Hovley added an error not counting his miscalculation of a Harmon Killebrew fly which, consequently, was allowed to convert itself to a triple. Somehow, Lockwood continues to back the Brewers. "We're going to get together one of these days," he insisted.

Rich Reese's grounder was the only hit which Lockwood allowed the Twins in their three-run seventh. Rookie Lockwood had troube handling a throw from Mike Hegan, and Cesar Tovar and Tony Oliva raced home on the hit. Kubiak let George Mitterwald lead off the Minnesota inning by kicking a grounder. Mitterwald went to second on a bunt, and scored a lying run when Tovar's grounder escaped between Harper's legs into left field. Oliva hit a slow grounder to ward second base, but Kubiak kicked that one too.

Killbrew walked to load the bases. Then came Reese's hit. Bristol bragged about Lock-wood's grounder made it '-2 in despite the performance or lack of it. "He won my admiration tonight," Bristol declared. "The way he came back after those three errors in the seventh was beautiful." Minnesota went ahead 1-0 in the first inning.

Milwaukee lied it in the third when Harper walked, stole his 20th base of the season, and scored on Russ Snyder's single. The Twins moved ahead 3-1 in the next inning when Hovley, in right field, dropped Oliva's fly in a treacherous wind that was Rusting to nearly 30 miles an hour, Killebrew tripled to score Oliva, and scored himself on Reese's fly. Kubiak's triple and Lock-owod's grounder made it 3-2 in Indian all-around athlete, also stole nine bases. The MVP trophy was donated by Sam Carona of Madison, as the Kiwanis club honored the 1970 Badgers, who set a school record of 22 victories against 16 defeats. R.D.

The Brewers then went ahead 4-3 in the seventh with Harper's tie-breaking single, scoring Gus Gil. After the seventh-inning fau-pas, Milwaukee tried once more in the ninth. Harper hit a double with two out, and scored on Snyder's single before the Twins wrapped up the decision. Milwaukee tries again to subdue the division leaders tonight, expecting to send Bob Bolin (1-3) to the mound against Minnesota's Jim Perry (6-3).

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Milwaukee Brewers were all thumbs Monday night, and the front-running Minnesota Twins pulled ahead for a 6-5 victory. Three Milwaukee errors helped fuel the Twins' three-run seventh inning, and by game's end, Minnesota had gotten five of its runs on four errors. "Errors.

You can't do anything about them. They just came at an inopportune time," Milwaukee manager Dave Bristol lamented. Pitcher Skip Lockwood went eight innings for Milwaukee, allowing the rugged Twins only seven hits and seemingly developing a 4-1 victory. The mis-cue syndrome spoiled all that. "I can't say I'm elated," the downcast huiicr said after his teammates had contributed so much to his loss.
