their All-University basketball title
Friday night as they defeated
Hitchcock "A" from Selleck Quad
by a score of 37 to 31.
Chemists grabbed a quick 5-0 lead
early in the first quarter and were
never headed although the Hitch
cock five stayed close throughout
the contest.

Yankee Trade Should Help:
A's Picked For Eighth;
Cerv Gets Big Chance
By BOB WIRZ
Staff Sports Writer
Kansas City has the new look
,this season but the heavy turnover
' j in talent isn't expected to be
enough to lift them trom the Amer
ican League cellar. Twenty-five
men on the KC spring roster were
not around last year when practice
began.
More depth in the infield and out
f eld appear to be manager Lou
Boudreau's only hopes .Nine men
are bidding for infield spots but
Boudreau plans to cut this down
to six or possibly seven men. Vic

Cerv ... could help
Power is the leading first base
candidate. The 26-year-old Puerto
O Rican hit .309 last season and has
high hopes of raising the mark this
season. Third base also appears
set with Hector Lopez. Lopez
slumped last season after a good
year in 1955. This winter he limited
us Winter baseball to only a few
games and now should be good
at the hot corner.
The keystone spots are still open.
Milt Graff and Curt Roberts are
both in the battle for the second
base position. Graff came to KC
recently in the big trade with
New York. He hit .317 last season
with Birmingham. Roberts is one
of the fellows who always has a
good year in the minors but as yet,
can't clout the big league ball con
sistently. He spent most of 1956
. with Columbus after having an
early trial with Pittsburgh.

With Wilt "The Stilt" Chamber

Jayhawks trounced Oklahoma City
University 81-61 to take the NCAA
Western regional basketball cham

the defending champs out in front
with their long set shots. Then the
Selleck five were forced to move
their defense out and that left
the middle open for big Bob Pro
kop to work around.
Hitchcock were extremely cold
at the start and went several min
utes at a time without scoring from
the field. Dick Prusia, Husker foot
baller, kept the losers close with
his accurate work at the charity
stripe. While Prusia was doing the
Billy Hunter and Joe DeMaestri
are battling it out for the shortstop
job. Hunter also was acquired in
the deal with the Yankees and De

year. Hunter appears to have a
slight edge both in hitting and in
fielding.

Cerv another ex-Yankee is finally
to get a good chance to become a
big league regular. Simpson had
a good year with the A's in 1956
hitting .293 and driving in 105 runs.
The third spot is a little different.
Pisoni is a rookie who had a trial
played left field half of the year
hitting a good .314.
Fighting for the remaining berth
are John Groth, Irv Noren and Gus
Zernial.
Hal Smith will again be the No.
1 catcher with Tim Thompson
backing him up.
The pitching, certainly the
league's worst, has several spots
open on the 11 man staff.
Maury McDermott, Tom Morgan
and Rip Coleman acquired in the
Yankee trade could help this dis
mal look. However, all three had
losing records last season with the
big bombers. Morgan (6-7) looks
the best bet of the three.
Also Boudreau had Lou Kretlow,
Alex Kellner, Bill Harriage, Tom
Gorman, and Wally Burnetter back
from last year. The first two al
though not getting any younger
might improve their records of
4-9 and 7-4. Harriage cannot do any
worse than his 1-13 record of last
season. Gorman will again handle
the big job of being the No.l bull
pen pitcher.
Burnetter could be the best on
the entire 21 man pitching staff in
training. This youngster came to
the A's from Denver in mid-season
and had a 6-8 won lost record.
His 2 90 ERA with a last place ball
team was excellent. Burnetter has
a fair fast ball and a real good
knuckle ball.
Also in camp are Ned Garver,
acquired from Detroit, and the ag
ing Virgil Trucks who was with the
same team.
Rookie hurlers Ed Blake, 17-11,
at Toronto; George Brunet, from
Columbia; and Glenn Cox from
Columbus could surprise. One ex
KC hurler Arnold Portocarrero also
is back for another trial. .
and Oklahoma City protested when
a foul was not called on Chamber
lain as he ran into Cecil Magana
of Oklahoma City, knocking him
sprawling. The fans then began
throwing money and cushions on
the floor in protest.
Chamberlain, Ron Loneski, Mau
rice King and John Parker led
the Jayhawks with 30, 14,13 and
10 points respectively, while Reed
was high man from Oklahoma City
with 26 points.

The second half the Chemists
caught fire and stretched their lead
behind the shooting of Prokop and
Duane Strandburg. Strandburg hit

hole. With a 9 point lead near the end
of the third period, the Chem team
lost big Jack Peterson, their 6-2

All Over Until Next Year:
Tutors Beaten in Overtime;
oys Town Repeats
By BOB MARTEL
Sports Editor
Six State High School basketball
champions were crowned at the
Coliseum Saturday as the Tourna
ment festivities ended for another
year.
In Class AA, Boys Town emerged
on top for the second year in a
row. Last season they defeated
Northeast for the title, but Satur
day they downed the "Giant Kill
er" Grand Island squad, 53-43.
Boys Town used a press through
out the game and forced Grand
Island to make mistakes which
the Cowboys took advantage of.
Jim Gordon and Milton Juan led
the Boys Town attack with 23 and
16 points respectively, while Dick
Knuth netter 12 for the Islanders.
Omaha Holy Name dropped Lex
ington 51-46 to gain the Class A
crown. Holy Name led throughout
most of the contest. The bulge var
ied from a high of 11 points down
tc as few as two. Pat Toohey and
Jim Markey were high for the Holy
Namers with 14 points each. Monte
Kiffen of Lexington led all scorers
with 24 points.
Coach Archie Chapman's Geneva
High Wildcats, led by big Larry
Fiedler, copped the Class B laur
els oy downing Dale Snook's Tu
tors 51-50 in an overtime period.-
With 11 seconds left to play in
regulation time, Don Leuhr tied the
ball game up as he calmly dropped
in two free throws. Uldis Lebalds
hit a charity toss in the extra pe
riod to give the Tutors a one
point advantage but Dick Anderson
hit a jump shot with 40 seconds
remainingto give Geneva its sec
ond successive crown. Last year
the Wildcats won the Class C
championship.
University High's Marv Bauer
set a Class B one game scoring
record when he tallied 30 points
against Madison in the semifinals.
Larry Fiedler of Geneva set a
Class C Tournament scoring rec
ord with 53 points in two games.
Bauer had 51.
As usual, Bauer paced the Uni
versity High attack with 21 points
while Fiedler pumped in 29 for
the winners.
The Alma Cardinals, paced by
Lanny Andres' 24 points, won their
first championship in the history
of the school by downing Waverly
56-46 in the Class C finals.
Alma's shooting and reboudning
was too much for Waverly to con
tend with. Andres' 24 points led all
scorers Roger Ruff was high for
Waverly with 12 points.
Utica High School ended a fine
basketball season by adding the
Class D championship to their long
list of laurels.
The Tigers finished the season
with a 25-0 record to become Ne
school team.
