"Do you know any good pitch' ers That was the question that Coach Ad Lewandowski tossed at us just as we were ready to ask him how pood his 1942 edition of diamond- dusty baseball stars would be. 'Right now we are having; problems on the mound. If you consider, we have only one boy with a lot of experience and another Bill Hewit, left, and Chuck Wright, right, are two frosh performers who have captured first p00 nal, naa team berths this spring due to their improved showing.

In the Citrus league, the boys are getting in shape for the grand opening in league play . . . Pittsburgh in the National and St. Louis in the American have the top spots to themselves at this writing . . . Watch for that Cleveland squad to show something even without Wonder-man Feller . . . Placing of Lou Boudreau as player coach will be the needed element to insure the Indians of a good season. A MUCH of the sport copy concerning baseball emphasizes the fact that whenever a fan sees a flame, it is pretty sure that there will be 18 men to match . . . These 18 men, the sport heads assure the fan, are playing on borrowed time or else they have been given deferrment for some other reason ... For that reason, athletic officials urge the fan to look upon the efforts of these players in a kindly light ... Any way you look at it, Uncle Sam could have any and all of them If he really needed or wanted them. COACH Glenn PresneU has indicated hia desire to have a quarter back school this spring ... If he finally does decide on it, he will hold after the regular spring drills have been completed ... in e braaka should be able to hold up right aloi.tr with the other gridiron foes this fall in the matter of .the quarterbaciting situation . . . Fred Metheny and Bobby Cooper will be playing that position . . . Fred and Bob could easily be taken for twins from the standpoint of build . . . They weigh very close to the same; they have the same general BPt-im lone- the muscle line and they both have a will to win . . . The former operates from the right side while the latter is one of the old left-handers . . . When Cooper waa on the scout squaa prep- ping the regulars for a chance at Stanford in the Bowl, it was he who was imitating Frankie Albert, the All-American quarter of that year ... He did a good job of it too. A LINE mentor. Gus Holm is In for a few extra record sessions with his group of snap artists Due to injuries, flu and the like, not all of the centers have been around at all times and it will take some extra practice to develop that finesse that is necessary at the center position . . . Some rlays call for some help by the center in his snap for a back to get off a quick pass or something of that nature . . . There is nothing so bad as uncertainty regard ing the next snap-back . . . Holm has gA the material but it still needs some extra molding. f DROPPED over to Coach Lew Twandowski's office yesterday . . We were interested in a magnetised board setup ... It la built comparable to a baseball diamond and then the various players can be spread over the board . . . The players of course are little metal objects . . .

It was designed by Ernest Quigley, gray-haired basketball referee from St. Mary's way back two decades past. Q THEY must have a bunch of hefty men back at Harvard ... At a recent meet between Harvard and Yale, a Harvard shot put artist copped the event with a 45' 10" try . . . It seems like an effort to us but mayba again, those law books dont weigh so much after all . . .
