The Kitchen for "cool-cooks' 1
— it's all-electric!
The next best thing to having someone do the cook
ing for you Is to do it the flameless electric way!
Even when you're using the broiler or oven, electric
cooking keeps the kitchen and you up to 12 degrees
cooler.
And good cooks prefer electric cooking, because
It lets them concentrate on the creative side of food
preparation.
Wonderful electric appliances help, too, to make
cooking a pleasure.
And homes In rural areas can be as modern as
those of city neighbors, with abundant, low-cost elec
tric power available . . . power for farming, for rural

Duke Whips
SIU, 78-54
By GARY KALE
UPI Sports Writer
The crowd was sparse, only
5,487 on hand for the farewell
salute to college basketball at
the old Madison Square Garden.
Located a block away from
the glitter of Broadway, the
usual basketball throng that
gathered in the rotunda before
game time for the past 34 years
was scattered on this cold
February night. It seemed most
people were saving their money
for the spanking new 20,000 seat
Garden sporting events that
begin next week atop Pennsyl
vania Station.
It was fitting that a Cinderel
la team helped close the book
Thursday night on this mecca of
sports at its present site.
Southern Illinois, the team that
rose from the small college
ranks to win the National
Invitation Tournament last
year, was back for an encore.
The finish this time, however,
wasn’t what coach Jack Hart
man had in mind.
Reverse Order
Duke, which bowed to SIU in
the quarterfinals of the 1967
NIT, ran the Salukis ragged in
scoring a 78-54 victory over a
team that had only one starter,
Dick Garrett, returning this
season. Walt Frazier, the spark
that generated Southern Illinois
to a small college championship
and a big time tournament title,
left school to make his way in
the pros. He is a success with
the New York Knickerbockers
in the National Basketball
Association.
"You could see Southern
Illinois was hurting for someone
of Frazier’s all-round individual
ability,” said Duke coach Vic
Bubas. “They were better
defensively last year when they
beat us.”
Pearson Circles
Daytona At 188
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(UPD—More of America’s top
stock car jockeys are expected
to ram their throttles to the
firewalls today in warmups for
the $200,000 Daytona 500 stock
car race this month.
Thursday, two drivers rode
the wind around the tri - oval
track at the Daytona Interna
tional Speedway in the fastest
times ever clocked here.
David Pearson of Spartan
burg, S. C., powered his Ford
to an unofficial record of 188.272
miles per hour by taking ad
vantage of the stiff winds blow
ing down the backstretch.
Earlier, Richard Petty of
Randleman, N. C., the defend
ing NASCAR driving champion,
Pont, Andros
To Coach
All-Americans
ATLANTA (UPD —Johnny
Pont of Indiana and Dee An
dros of Oregon State have been
named as rival head coaches
for the Bth annual Coaches’
All-America football game to be
played here June 28.
Andros, who guided Oregon
State to upset victories last sea
son over national champion
Southern California and Purdue
and a tie with UCLA — each
ranked first or second national
ly at the time — will coach the
West.
Pont, who will coach the
East, was named “Coach of the
Year’’ after Indiana won a
share of the Big Ten title and
a Rose Bowl berth.

Friday, February 9, 1968
Duke’s 6-foot-7 Mike Lewis
dominated the backboards and
scored a game high 28 points
against SIU for the Blue Devils’
13th victory in 16 games. Chuck
Benson paced SIU with 17
points and Garrett tallied 13.
North Carolina Wins
Third ranked North Carolina,
leader of the Atlantic Coast
Conference and figured most
likely to meet Duke in the
league tournament final for an
NCAA tourney berth, swept past
Wake Forest 80-60 for its 16th
victory of the season.
Larry Miller scored 23 points
and Charlie Scott added 21 in
rallying the Tar Heels after
Wake Forest gained an early 10-
4 lead. Dick Walker paced the
Deacons with 13 points.
Bradley moved within a half
game of the Missouri Valley
Conference lead by tripping
Tulsa 7-57.6 Bob Swigris hit 10
baskets in 13 tries for 20 points
and took game scoring honors.
Larry Cheatham led Tulsa with
15.
Gene Moore’s 23 points
enabled St. Louis to down
Memphis State 60-53 in another
MVC game.
In other games, Rhode Island
edged Providence 53-51, Oklaho
ma City crushed Creighton 112-
86 and Duquesne defeated
Westminster (Pa.) 87-69.
Two Bowlers
Better ‘6oo’
Two VFW bowlers bettered
“600” series Thursday night at
Griffin Lanes.
Jim Skrlne rolled a 211-205-217
—633 and Paul Phillips had a
shoved his blue Plymouth Road
runner to a 186.345 m.p.h. time
that was soon erased by Pear
son.
The official track record for
qualifying is a 180.832 lap
scored last year by Curtis Turn
er.
But the gusty winds allowed
two other drivers to also unof
ficially surpass the mark Thurs
day, continuing a trend start
ed in the warmups earlier this
week. Mario Andretti, Nazareth
Pa., picked up a 186.161 in a
Mercury Cyclone and Bobby Al
lison of Hueytown, Ala., brought
his Ford In at 185.812.
“The wind frightens you a lit
tle bit the way it whips the car
around in spots,” said Petty,
“but it gives you the speed.”
Tile week of warmups culmin
ates Sunday when about two
dozen drivers go after the pole
position and the $5,000 that ac
companies it as they go under
the official stopwatch for two
turns around the 2.5 • mile
track. Those will be the offi
cial speeds.
The time trials will put the
two fastest cars on the front
row of the Feb. 25 race. A pair
of 125 - mile races on Feb. 23
will decide the rest of the start
ing positions.
Cards Acquire
Johnny Edwards
ST. LOUIS (UPD—The St.
Louis Cardinals Thursday ac
quired Johnny Edwards in a
three-player trade with the
Cincinnati Reds and quickly
signed the 29-year-old catcher to
a 1968 contract.
In return, the Cardinals gave
up catcher Pat Corrales and
infielder Jimmy Williams.
It was reported that Edwards,
who joined the Reds after
graduating from Ohio State
University, had “wanted to be
traded.’’ In 1966 he had a .191
batting average, and a .206 in
1967.
Williams, 24, plays short
stop, second base and third
base. He spent part of last
season in military service and
appeared in 13 games with the
Cardinals in 1966, hitting .273.
