Gets Second Shot At Tennessee A-l By Harold Flachsbart There was a get-together of basketball coaches in one of the Kiel Auditorium dressing rooms yesterday afternoon and a few minutes later pro players BOB PETTIT and DOLPH SCHAYES were watching pro tennis players. By Robert Morrison Tommy Kieffer, says St. Louis U. basketball coach John Ben-ington, is the ace-in-the-hole of the Billikens. "He can fill an Inside straight better than anybody," said the coach.

In fact, the ace of the Bills was such a good card player trips the team made in the past, that nobody will play with him now. "They outlawed me," said the Ace. "We used to play a lot Hartweger; Mankowski, Ham-bric and myself. But I won so much we don't play any more." The 185-pound athlete, who is the only double-figure scorer on the defense-minded St. Louis U.

team, says he doesn't know why he wins at cards. Conservative Winners. But it could be that he plays cards as the Billikens play basketball. "You have to be conservative at cards. Trying to fill an inside straight isn't a good risk," said Kieffer about one of hrs favorite games, poker.

As for basketball: "Elimination of error is the big thing that not many people realize about basketball," he said. The junior student In com merce and finance (general busi ness) said maybe it's possible to take more chances in basket ball than in poker, but his philos' phy seems similar for both. His favorite pro basketball star is Oscar Robertson. "I think he's going to be the best of all," said Kieffer. "The thing I try to copy from him is steady play.

He never makes any mistakes. He has great moves but he doesn't try for the fancy play." 'Eliminate Errors. That fits the "elimination of error" approach. "If a team can keep its ball errors, passing or dribbling, to fewer than 10 a game it has a good chance." the Bills star ex- Six Gloves Champions Weigh In Six champions were on hand yesterday when weighing-in ceremonies were held at the St. Louis House for the forthcoming Golden Gloves tournament.

Three were In the open divi sion. They were Dan Faan of the South Broadway A. the 175 -pound titleholder; Donald Cobb of the Leisure A. in the 135-pound class and Stanley Mc-Kissick of Sportsmans, in 9 lygWflyygyiwisffjaeJIwwsL' etwTwKx' 111 TOM KIEFFER plained. "That was St.

John's trouble the other night here. Their little guy dribbled away the ball three or four times. It always hurts because you don't have a chance when you lose the ball." Tommy admitted he didn't have these ideas until he played under Beninion. "The coach has a lot of ideas I never even thought about until I got into college basketball," the player said. "I think a lot of coaches will begin to take over his stuff in the next few years.

"Defense is the mam thing. I never knew how important it could be. We've gained all our victories on defense. We haven't been out of any game. And that's why we'll do all right the rest of the way yes, at Cincinnati or at Bradley or any place." The St.

Louis victory over St. John's was a classic example of defense, Kieffer believed. Held Down Jackson. "If you let St. John's set up its plays it can get away from you.

You have to contest the ball all the time." he said. Kieffer'i special assignment In that game was covering All- the 160-pound class. Former champions included Bill White of Sportsmans, 126-pound open winner in 1955 and now competing In the 135-pound class; Ernest Staples of Sports mans. the I960 winner at 160 pounds who advances to the light -heavyweight class and Chuck Riley of Affton, 1959 heavyweight champion who was defeated last week. A total of 94 weighed in for the tournament which starts Thursday with 25 bouts at the St.

Louis House. The semifinals will be held the following Thursday at the St. Louis House and the finals Feb. 23 in the Khoras-san room at Hotel Chase. America Tony Jackson.

Kieffer said he was surprised Jackson didn't make any more moves than he did. Tommy played him tight to try to force him to drive and Jackson scored only 11 points, half his season average. Tommy had big scoring nights at Iowa and Ohio State but his largest personal moment of glory came in the victory over Kentucky for the Kentucky Invitation tournament championship. His pair or fading-seconds shots from inside the circle, one to tie the game in regulation time and one to win in overtime, put the Bills high in the national picture. Somehow court-side critics voted Kentucky's Bill Lickert most valuable and that caused snickers as far away as Champaign, where Bert Bertine snorted "pure bias.

How could they pass up Kieffer?" "Kieffer has that something extra," his coach, Benington, has said. Starred for Junior Bills. He's had it quite a while in other ways. In prep play at St. Louis U.

High he made a last-second game-winning shot during the state tournament In which that Junior Billiken team finished unbeaten with a 28-0 record. A backyard backboard and hoop started him in the game as a fifth grader. He was a high school star, but he didn't develop as a Billiken regular until well Into his sophomore year. In the process he shifted from guard position to the front line. Now this season, since the disabling injury suffered by St.

Louis's 6-10 senior center Bob Nordmann, Kieffer has been the leading scorer with an 11.6 average and the leading rebounder. "I think I like it better on the front line," he said. "A guard has to move more than a forward but a forward has to do more on the boards and I like that. I put on about 10 pounds since last season and I think it helped me in the rebounding as well as in endurance."

I70i15 Hack Tube) Tpa rlui Til 11)4 Tour Oil Tin REGARDLESS OF CONDITIO 2 FOR $24.88 Kutis soccer players held a celebration on the Lemay field yesterday as they congratulated their center forward, Bob Roon-ey, on his first score of the season. Bob, one of the team's leading goal-getters in past seasons, and always the play-maker, had been shut out until he tallied against Schumachers in this St. Louis Soccer League game, won by Kutis, 9-0. Rooney finished with two of the nine goals, Bill Looby got three, Ruben Mendoza two, Bob Kehoe and Butch Cook one each. Adapting their game to the snow-covered field Kutis players moved in their best form of the season.

They are getting primed for their national Amateur Cup match with Falstaff of Omaha here, Feb. 19. George Mihaljevic, recently signed after a two-year absence from St. Louis soccer, made his debut with the Kutis team. He played briefly at center halfback in the first half and was used at an inside forward position in the second half.

He has just returned from military service. St. Louis's other national cup team, St. Ambrose, won just as easily from All Souls in the top C.Y.C. game, 7-0.

Pete Traina, Paul Pisani and Frank Ferrara scored two goals each and Vasco Gasperoni one for St. Ambrose. No date has been set for Ambrose's next U. S. Open cup match, with the Chicago-Milwaukee survivor, yet to be determined.

Nativity kept up its pressure for a C.Y.C. title by downing St. Engelbert, 4-3, getting the winning goal on Vic Graffigria's penalty kick, five minutes before the end of the game.

MOO 1.000 .700 CENTRAL We'll Install 'em FREE! do Miner Down! 55.C0 Per Month Put 'em en Tour Central Hardwire Charge Account iv Both Set Records as Stealers Of Bases NEW YORK. Jan. 30 (AP) Max Carey and the late Billy Hamilton are the latest additions to Baseball's Hall of Fame. The two former National League center fielders, famed for their base-stealing ability, will be inducted formally July 24 at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Carey, holder of the modern National League, record for stolen bases with 738 in a 20-year career from 1910 to 1929 with Pittsburgh and Brooklyn, said in Miami Beach, he was "Happy and proud of the honor of being selected." He is 71 years old. Hamilton, who died in 1940, was one of the truly great stars of the pre-1900 days of baseball. He had a lifetime batting av erage of .344 while playing with Philadelphia and Boston from 1890 to 1901. Known as "Sliding Billy," he stole 797 bases, the league record, in that span and also stole 140 with Kansas City in the American Association which considered itself a major league. If those were counted his total would be 937.

The two men were named yes terday by the veterans' committee, headed by Warren Brown of the Chicago American, which considers only men who have been inactive as players for at least 30 years. A member of the committee is J. Roy Stockton, retired sports editor of the Post-Dispatch. It was their first chance to honor Carey who pre viously had been under the jurisdiction of the baseball writers who select from among those out of baseball at least five years but not more than 30. Since the veterans named Joe McCarthy and Sam Crawford in 1957, the only other new member to be added was Zack Wheat in 1959, also by the veterans.

The writers failed to name anybody from the younger group, either in 1958 or 1960. Carey, known as "Scoop" for his great knack of coming in fast to grab sinking liners, was one of the outstanding fielders in the league's history. He played the outfield more games than anybody (2421) and holds the league record for most as sists (339) by an outfielder. In 1922 he was caught only twice in 53 attempted steals. Max played with Pittsburgh from 1910 to the middle of 1926 when he went to Brooklyn on waivers.

He played with the Dodgers through 1929 and managed the club in 1932-33 until replaced by Casey Stengel, an old teammate. In the years since then he has coached, managed minor league teams, scouted and worked as an official at dog race tracks in Florida. Hamilton's records border on the fantastic. In 1891 he stole 115 bases, the league high. In 1894 with the Phillies he hit .398, stole 99 bases and scored 196 runs, another record.

Yet he was low man in the outfield. The Phils picket line in '94 included Ed Delchanty in left Hamilton in center and Sam Thompson in right The utility man, George Turner, hit .423. Carey Studied at Concordia Seminary Max Carey, christened Maximilian Carnarius, went from divinity school to professional baseball. Carey, born in Terre Haute, Jan. 11, 1890, attended Concordia Seminary there and later transferred to Concordia Seminary here, studying for the Lutheran ministry.

He played baseball on the seminary team here (one season) and showed such promise he turned to the game professionally and dropped his school work. Political Shakeup in Florida Costs Carey Job at Race Track MIAMI BEACH, Jan. 30 (UPI) Max Carey, named yesterday to baseball's Hall of Fame, took the occasion to disclose he was recently fired from his state job. Carey, 71, of Miami Beach, said the new administration of Gov. Farris Bryant fired him two weeks ago as a racing judge at Miami Beach Kennel Club.

"I've got only social security and a house with a big mortgage," said the former Pittsburgh Pirates star. Carey had been a judge at the dog track for three years. "But, I'm not complaining," he added. "That's politics." At present, Carey said, "I'm doing some work in the promotional field. But you never know about those things." Stirling Moss Wins SYDNEY, Jan.

30 (AP) A crowd estimated at 60,000 saw Stirling Moss of Britain win the International 103 mils event yesterday by nearly two laps. His time was one hour, 16 minutes, in race run under a blazing sun that pushed the temperature to 106. Australia's Jack Brabham, the world champion, dropped out with engine trouble. Sudden Death NEW YORK, Jan. 30-With two minutes to play, the New York Giants led the Baltimore Colts, 17 to 14.

New York had the ball on its own 25-yard line, third and four. If the Giants could make one first down they could dawdle through at least four more plays while the clock raced on and the professional football championship of 1958 dropped into their laps. Frank Gifford hit the line and was one foot short. Declining the gamble, New York punted. It was Baltimore's ball 86 yards from the goal line.

Lenny Moore ran once and Johnny Unitas threw eight times. Incomplete passes stopped the clock five times. Once the Colts called time out. Racing the flying seconds, they reached the Giants' 13-yard line. Steve Myhra kicked a field goal from placement, tying the score.

Nine seconds remained, enough for a kick-off and one play that got nothing. The gun ended the game and started another. Now the clock lost all meaning. Time laterally stood still. No need for haste now, for the lights were on and time limits off and the teams could keep at it all night until one or the other scored.

With the opening of the sudden-death fifth period, this ceased to be football played under football rules, because the essential factor, time, had been removed. The Tinkering Czar On the toss of a half dollar by referee Ron Gibbs no two-bit referee he the Giants won the privilege of receiving the kick-off. Again they failed by a foot to make first down, chose to punt on fourth rather than try for those 12 inches. There was no hurry. All they had to do to get the ball back was stop Baltimore, and they had been reading all season about their defensive unit, the noblest band of heroes since Leonidas at Thermopylae.

So the Colts went 71 yards to first down on the New York eight, disdained the field goal that would have ended it there, and sent Alan Ameche in for the six points that won the championship, beat the point-spread and clobbered the handbooks. Pro football fans still savor the memory of that finish, but now Pete Rozelle wants to paint the lily. If the National League's boy czar had his way, the Giants would be given another chance to tie the score so there could be a sixth period then well, Pete just hates to see a season end. At least, a game without end seemed to be the goal Rozelle had in mind when he said the other day that he would propose changes in the league's sudden-death rule, though a re-reading of his suggestion corrects that first impression. Actually, he just wants to guarantee both teams one chance to score in the overtime period.

As the Commissioner sees it, It would have been unfair to the Colts if the Giants had carried the overtime kick-off back to score, thus ending the game before Baltimore could get the ball. In such an event he would have another kick-off, to Baltimore this time. If the Colts then lost the ball on downs, they would be licked; if they tied the score the whole business would start over. Lingering Death What Pete wants is lingering, not sudden, death. It is devoutly hoped he doesn't get it.

Overtime play is an artificial expedient at best, an unnatural device to avert a tie in a play-off for the title. On the one occasion when the extra period was needed to decide the championship, it added to the day's excitement. It worked out equitably, too, for the Giants had their chance and muffed it and the team that deserved to win did win. But one of these in a decade is plenty. Better that one team should get the short end of the stick than let the show drag on like the death scene from "Camille." Statistics might disprove it, but the impression here is that the pros hardly ever stop anybody.

A ludicrously high proportion of games during the season are decided in the closing seconds, and the only reason for this can be incompetent defensive play, With few exceptions, the is consistently sue-; cessful only against inside running plays, and even there the old bear trap or "draw" is a reliable gainer. Against accurate passers and expert receivers, the mercenaries are all but helpless. Consequently, a Norm Van Brocklin or Johnny Unitas or Charley Conerly just throws, confident that he can connect I once in any series of downs. Tar too often, the game they play is closer to beat bag than football, yet it could be even worse. Get a couple of those firehouse teams into an overtime match where they take turns tying the score and you know what you would have? Basketball, that's what.

They were tatting play patterns.

Gallatin told of trying to spread his professional knowledge to his college team, and Hannum just couldn't understand why his Nats always lost in St. Louis. In the Hawks' dressing room, PAUL SEYMOUR was accepting congratulations for another St. Louis victory. S.I.U.

Game Tomorrow. Tennessee A. No. 1 in the country's small college basketball ritings, in the latest Associated Press poll. and Southern Illinois, now 14-3 for the season, will meet tomorrow night at Carbondale.

A previous meeting resulted in a 95-93 decision for Tennessee (16-1). Other outstanding records for colleges in this area are the 151 compiled by Southeast Missouri of Cape Girardeau and a 14-3 mark by Harris Teachers, matching that of S.I.U. St. Louis playing a big-league schedule and knocking off top-ranking teams, is 11-5, and McKendree and Northeast Missouri of Kirks-ville are both 11-4. Concordia Seminary won Saturday for the first time in 12 years at Central College's Fayette (Mo.) court, but it took an overtime period to accomplish it.

with JIM ALBERS making two free throws in the final two seconds of the extra period. TOM FASZHOLZ tallied 12 field goals and 16 free throws for a whopping 40 points for the Preachers. Up in Hanover, N.H., over the weekend, Dartmouth and Boston University experimented with the rules, counting a field goal three points instead of two, and Dartmouth won, 119-89. Under normal rules (two points for a field goal) the final score would have been 85-67. Dartmouth Coach DOGGIE JULIAN and Boston's JOHN BURKE said they wanted to see more of the experiment under game conditions before parsing judgment.

Dischlnger Leads TERRY DISCHLNGER, of Purdue, the friendly Olympic teammate of Ohio State's JERRY LUCAS, made 26 points In a TV game to take over the Big Ten scoring lead from Lucas but Ohio State gained an easy 92-62 victory. The Buckeyes have a two-season winning streak of 19, and 14 for the 1960-61 campaign. Dischinger, who reportedly has suggested to Lucas "never use that fall-away play against me," now twice has won a scoring duel from Lucas, who had just 17 points but rebounded brilliantly to help the Bucks bag the big one for the Big Ten lead. Sophomore ERNIE MOORE scored 30 points for Wichita in 91-74 victory over Tulsa. In the Big Eight, a full-court press by Kansas State in the last five minutes enabled the Wildcats to overcome Oklahoma State's 38-34 margin and gain a 45-43 decision.
