Racial Incident Explodes NEW ORLEANS ifi Forward Shellie McMillon Bradley's Net?ro basketball ace, created an, uncer tain atmosphere for Loyola s inte grated athletics program last night when he became the central figure in the school's first racial Incident. McMillon, a 19-ycar-old sopho more from Chicago, aroused the crowd last night when he fouled out and saluted fans by sticking out his tongue. The cheers which greeted him during p r e g a m e . introductions turned into jeers and the Loyola band snapped into "Dixie", march ing song of the Confederate Army. A number of fans serenaded Mc- Million with "Bye; Bye Blackbird" as he left the court. McMillon's fouling tactics, termed "unnecessary" by sports writer Buddy oilibcrto of the Times-Picayune, started a Loyola stampede to the free throw line. Loyola, behind 15 points when the fouling began, hit on 21 of 26 free throws to take a Tl-65 victory and hand Bradley its first loss, Loyola Coach Jim MrCafferty later minimized the Incident, He said he thought McMillon "lost his head" and became "disgusted with himself. Most of the fouls took place at the far end of the court and we couldn't see them from our bench," McCaffcrty said. The Loyola coach said he thought the incident would have little effect on future games with teams that have Negro play ers. The University .of San Francisco, top-ranked team in the nation. meets Loyola here Friday night. San Francisco has three Negro players on Its roster, Including Al America center Bill Russell. Dlliberto wrote that McMillon played "very well in the first half even though he 'showboated' every chance he got." He said "when the game got close he lost all of his poise and started fouling Inten tionally." Dillberto attributed McMillon's fouling the turning point in the game since It enabled Loyola to overcome the big lead and take the victory. There was no other demonstra tion in the crowd which is seated on an Integrated basis. Neither McMillon nor Bradley Coach Bob Vanatta could be reached for comment. Loyola embarked on desegreRa Uon in athletic events last year. Guard Al Lewis of LaSalle College was the pioneer and played with out incident as have several other Nnrro players on teams in pre liminary games. Dillberto said Bradley's other ?ro player, guard Curley John 7tt. wan a itcmleman during the Came, but was soundly booed when r Wt tn name because of Mc Millon's behavior. Ballhawklilg Ron Mancasola stole the ball from OTI as the Owls came down floor, but Tecb'a John McCutcheon In turn swiped the ball from Mancasola in an exchange that brought the large crowd to their feet. McCutcheon then fired a pass to Foster who soloed in for a cripple and Tech led 10-68 with only 35 seconds left to play. Bogle was awarded free toss on Richelieu's foul and the pic ture grew dark for the home folks of Shasta. But Bogle missed the Killer, and Jones cleared the boards for the Knights. In the next few seconds Shasta had tied the score again as Richelieu hit with a spin ning Jump shot from the key an ihe score stood 70-70 with only 10 seconds showing on the clock. The Owls took three unsuccess- ful shots at the Shasta basket as the time clicked away, but before Ihe Hoot Birds could find the range. Jones cleared the boards and in the process was fouled by Fischer, setting Uie stage for the climatic finish. Four of Tech's regulars hit in double figures as Bogle and Fos ter each carded 17, while Fischer and Bob Frost accounted for 12 points apiece. High for the victor ious Knights was Mancasola with 16, while Richelieu and Jack Sun- Itsch added 12 to the Shasta cause. Shasta's second half - downfall started when Sunitsch. a former Klamath Falls high school star, was called for his fifth infraction with 10:25 remaining to play. The 5-7 freshman was the spearhead of the Shasta first half surge and his bril liant defensive play kept the Owls al bay. On two occasions, the pint sized Knight guard swept the air of Tech shots, and on numerous other occasions deflected and In tercepted OTI passes. When Sun itsch left the game, the Shasta fol lowers stood and gave him a re sounding ovation. After the game, coach Wally Palmberg said Bogle might possib ly nave suffered a dislocated back when he tumbled to the floor in the opening minutes of the first half. The 6-9 center of the Owls attempted to check a shot by Mancasola, who stands only 5-7, and in the move fell headlong over the Shasta oager, landing on his hip and shoulder. Bogle sat out most of the first half, but came back to lead the Owls second half assault despite the severe back pain that plagued him.

Rebels' Game Movies Impress TCU Mentor By ED FITE I'nited Preu 8porU Writer i FORT WORTH, Tex. (UP( Mississippi may not have anyone iu inuicn jexas cnrisiian s break away All-America back Jimmy Swink, but Coach Abe Martin cringes at the thought of the over all speed of Ole Miss. The usually calm coach of the Southwest Conference champions, who will meet Mississippi in the Cotton Bowl Jan. 2. won't belittle his own hefty and experienced crew, but he is impressed with what he has learned about Johnny Vaught's Rebels via game movies. He discussed their use of the flanker in motion, the last-ditch laterals of Rebel quarterback Eagle Day after Day has KOtten past the end, the passing of Day and John Blalack and the receiving of halfbacks Billy Kinard and Earl Blair. TEAM SPEED But, he admitted that it was Mississippi's team speed that scared him the most especially the line "that hits quick and charges hard." Martin pointed out that the only game TCU lost was to Texas A&M, a team which also stressed quick getaway speed. The big and mobile Horned Frogs lost that game because they played too conservatively and didn't attempt to open up until the cause was lost. Quarterback Charles Curtis, a hesitant signal caller early in the season has since become more Sacred Heart Victor Dino Obisso's Sacred Heart "Tro jans spilled the favored Merrill Huskies Tuesday night 45-40 in a I non-counting B league basketball outing. Jerry Depuy led the winners with : 18 points, while Terry Sheirlll was j high for the losers with 15. In the B game, Merrill won a 27- j 25 decision over the Academy Bs. ( KKMKtKHllltlKaWWaKW.

Tne Frogs capitalize most on Swink's long gains through or off tackle after a fullback fake but Curtis contributed passes that net ted eight touchdowns to go along with the 20 that Swink put on the scoreboard with his running. DECOY Curtis also learned to use Swink as a decoy, and to send fullbacks Vernon Hallbeck or Harold Pollard up the middle and halfbacks Ray Taylor and Ken Wuieburg, the lat ter a reserve, scooting off at a tangent from the well defensed Swink. Martin's study of Mississippi's game movies revealed that the two clubs use a similar attack a T-formation combing many varia tions of that offense. The TCU line anchored around Hugh Pitts, a second team All America center, and flanked by two fine receivers in O'Day Wil liams and Bryan Engram, is hefti er and more experienced than Mississippi's but It may not be as fast. Mississippi's only bowl victory in four starts came against TCU In the 1948 Delta Bowl. That started TCU on a string of four straight bowl setbacks after winning its first three.
