Staff Sports Writer
Coach Bill Jennings had his huait
trs scrimmaging heavily against
each other Saturday, although rain
and foul weather kept them from
having a full-game battle. Jennings
had his men divided up into four
teams with the first and third units
being the Reds and the second
and fourth units the Whites.
The scrimmage had the first and
second teams running against each
other and the third and fourth
teams the same. Outstanding per
formances seemed to be turned in
by both White teams both of
fensively and definsively.
The fourth team led by two year
letterman George Harshman pro
cued the day's only score. The unit
v,cv-Vip fis vards and ended the
trek on a one yard touchdown
plunge by Jerry Schroeder.
The setup play was a 30-yard
pass from Harshman to Bill Tun
ing which put the ball on the Red
ten yard line. Schroeder bulled his
way to the one but a penalty put
the Whites back to the six. Schroe
der again went to the one and then
scored.
The other long march was also
registered by a White team run
by Doug Thomas. The drive ended
on a fumble but several outstand
ing plays were run off. Jim Hergen
rader and Gene Sandage led the
march, each man reeling off ten
yard runs and being on the receiv
ing end of passes thrown by the
other.
Thomas who was a fullback last
year but showed good possibilities
as a signal caller mixing passes
and quick openers very well.
Another White drive led by Full
back Leo George's 15-yard run
was halted by Jerry Wheeler as he
pounced on a Thomas fumble on
the 25.
The Whites two teams also showed
defensive abilities as they stopped
the Reds without a single sustained
drive. Outstanding on the lines
were tackles Don Olson and Du
ane Mongerson and Guards Stu
Howerter, Art Klein and Charlie
Tsoukalas.
Jennings stated that he would
not be able to make any assess
ments of personnel until the mo
vies are shown, but he thought
that the defensive play was ahead
of the offense.
Due to the wetness of the field
and several first year quarter
backs, fumbles were frequent.
Thomas and Harshman showed up
well as signal callers while Her
genreder, Zaruba of the Reds, and
Sandage stood out as halfbacks.
Jerry Wheeler and Leo George ran
well in the fullback position.
With six seconds remaining in
the final overtime period, Maurice
King fouled Joe Quigg. Kansas led
53-52 by virtue of Gene Elstun's
free throw. Quigg dropped in his
two foul shots to clinch the Tar
Heel victory.
The game became a little rough
in the second overtime when Wilt
Chamberlain of Kansas and Pete i
Brennan of Jlorth Carolina began
shoving each other for position
under the basket. Both coaches
rushed out on the floor and a
brief but wild rhubarb was on.
North Carolina coach Frank Mc
Guire claims he was punched in
the stomach by Kansas assistant
Jack Eskridge.
Quigg took over the leadership of
the Tar Heel quintet when All
American Lennie Rosenbluth fouled
out with 1:45 of the regulation con
test left and his team behind
43-44.
Chamberlain, playing all the way
without relief, led all scorers with
23 points while Rosenbluth had 20.
Tommy Kearns and Brennan
chipped in 11 points each to the
North Carolina total, while
Maurice King and Ron Loneski
each had 11 for the Jayhawks.
In the consolation game, San
Francisco downed Michigan State
67-60 to gain third place honors.
Mike Farmer paced the Don attack
with Vk. points. Ferguson was high
man for the Spartans with 14
points.
North Carolina advanced to the
finals by squeezing out a 74-70
win over Michigan State on Friday
night. This game also went through
three overtimes giving the Tar
Heels some sort of tournament re
cord for six overtimes in two
games. Rosenbluth ted the victory
with 31 points while Jack Quiggle,
playing the entire contest with a
sprained ankle, tallied 20 points
for the Spartans.
The Jayhawks qualified for the
"main event" with a resounding
80-56 victory over San Francisco.
The Dons stayed with Wilt and
company throughout the first haif
but couldnt keep up the torrid
pace in the second stanza.
Chamberlain dumped in 32 points
to lead the Kansas attack, vrhile
Mike Farmer had 14 for the losers.
Over in Madison Square Garden
Saturday afternoon, Bradley
downed a game Memphis State
quintet to grab the National Invita
tional Tournament Championship.
With 29 seconds remaining and
Memphis State holding an 83-81
lead, Bradley's Shelley McMillion
scored a three point play to give
the Braves their first crown in
six tries.
The see-saw contest saw Bradley
come frombehinf "to win "after
leading by 15 points in the first
half and trailing by 10 points in
the second half.
Wflf Wilfong of Memphis State
led all scorers with 31 points and
was chosen most valuable player.
Mason was high man for the win
ners with 22 points.
Temple grabbed third place hon
ors by defeating St. Bonaventure
67-50.

Another Scandal
The very young Air Force Academy finds itself entangled in what :
could be the biggest recruiting scandal of the year.
The Denver Post said last Wednesday that some memebers of the
Pueblo Junior College and the New Mexico Military Institute football ;
teams are prospective Air Force Academy cadets who were turned
down originally by the Academy.
The Post said the players were sent to the Pueblo and New Mexico
achools for further tutoring.
The full expenses for the athletes at the Pueblo school are
supposedly paid for by a single check for $7,000 from "a solid and well
known foundation."
Its no secret that both the Military Academy at West Point and
the Naval Academy at Annapolis have agreements with prep schools
where prospective cadets sharpen up before entering the service
achools. I believe that when the situation is investigated, the NCAA
will find that not only athletes are being subsidized by the Air Force
Academy, but the prospective candidates," who do not participate in
ports are also being helped financially.
From here it looks like the fans of the other Empire Conference
achools are looking for a way to stop the involved junior colleges from
copping all the athletic laurels..
Here We Go Again ...
They're out to revise the game of basketball again. The latest
brain storm is that of Bruce Drake, former University of Oklahoma
basketball coach and one time chairman of basketball rules committee.
Drake's idea is to change the value of goals on the basis of how
difficult they are to get.
"Everybody knows a home run in baseball is harder to get than
a single," he said. "By the same token a tipin, the cheapest shot in
basketball, is easier to get than an outside set shot.
"So why not set up a zone six feet from the basket. Let a shot
from outside the zone count two and let a tip-in count one point.
"Not all of us can get big men, so we must have a chance to
hold our own. This may be one method."
Yes, this may be one method, but why not leave the rules alone
and concentrate on playing the game of basketball. There have been
so many rule changes in the last couple of seasons that the fan
is never quite sure of just how the game is being played.
Next thing you know, someone will come around and tell Bill
Jennings that his ends can't weigh over 185, his tackies over 195, his
guards and centers over 210 and his backs over 175.
Let's play the game. There will always be a Gary Thompson,
Chet Forte or Gary Reimers around to carry the banner for the
little men.

East Favored
In '57 Shrine
Benefit Tonight
The East will be favored for the
first time in the six year old his-
tory of the annual East-West Shrine
benefit game to be held in Kansas :
City tonight. The battle between
the senior All-Stars is expected to ;
draw a capacity crowd of over 10,- i
000 fans. I
The people shouldn't be disap
pointed as the country's top scor
ers will take the floor. Coach Frank
McGuire of North Carolina, who
will handle the East, has picked
for himself ten players who would
never take a back seat to anyone.
These include Grady Wallace of
South Carolina and Joe Gibbon
of Mississippi who averaged 31
and 30.5, points per game during the
regular season.
In addition, the East will have
Lennie Rosenbluth, All-American
from North Carolina who led his
team to the National championship.
Others on McGuire's dream team
include Jim Ashmore of Mississippi
State, Gerry Calvert, Kentucky and
Harv Schmidt, Illinois.
The West, coached by Bill Stran
nigan of Iowa State will be rely
ing on three Big Seven players to
carry the load. Ail-American Gary
Thompson of Iowa State leads the
array of Big Seven stars.
Rex Ekwall, the Ruskers leading
scorer, ana Gene Elstun of Kansas
are the other two boopsters who
will be playing. Jim Krebs of South
ern Methodist and Denver's Dick
Brott will be two other big guns
being counted upon by Strannigan.

Wirz' Crystal Ball Gazing:
Fourth Place For Cards;
Schoefield Should Stick
By BOB WIRZ
Staff Sports Writer
Manager Fred Hutchinson can
see a brighter future for his St.
Louis Cardinals this spring. Last
season when Hutchinson took over
at the helm he didn't quite know
what to expect. He did a com
mendable job Jast season raising
the Redbirds from seventh to
fourth place in the National League
Standings. "Hutch" thinks the
squad is improved this season and
that they may pick up as much
as 12 games over last years show
ing. This would leave them five
contests behind Brooklyn's show
ing of last season.
A couple of winter trades have
helped the Cardinals stock con
siderably, or at least, this is the
way it looks in March. Baseballs
No. 1 trader, Frank Lane, made off
season deals with both Chicago
and Philadelphia.
Del Ennis was acquired from
Philadelphia in exchange for Rip
Ripulski. Ennis will play right
field for the Cardinals and bat
in the cleanup position. His power
should help the lineup consider
ably. The other trade saw pitchers
Sam Jones and Jim Davis coming
to St. Louis along with catcher
Hobie Landrith from the Cubs.
Jones wiH be a starting hurler
and Davis will do spot starts along
with doing quite a bit of relief
hurling. Landrith will serve as No.
2 catcher behind the regular, Hal
Smith.
Other starting pitchers wiH prob
ably be Herm Wehmeier, wimer
Mizell, and Lindy McDaniel.
Wehmeier, acquired from Phila
delphia last year, developed into
one of the Cardinals more depend
able hurlers. He had a 12-11 mark
with several of the losses being
suffered in Philadelphia.
Mizell is supposedly the No. 1
pitcher on the staff. "Vinager
Bend" has always had trouble
with wildness and this spring cer
tainly is no exception. In his first
three outings in camp Mixell has
posted a'14.13 ERA. However, with
about a month more of training to
go the big guy should come aroundl
McDaniel is showing signs of
earning the large bonus the Cards
paid him to sign in 1955. Only 21,
McDaniel won seven and lost six
last season. He was used a lot
for early inning relief work and
spot starts. His 3.41 ERA has
earned the youngster a chance to
become a regular starter.
Murry Dickson, who will be 41
before the season is over also
will do some starting. The knuckle
ball artist still will win the big
ones for you.
Larry Jackson, Willard Schmidt,
and Hoyt Wilhelm will form the
nucleus of. the bullpen staff. Wil
helm also was acquired in a winter
trade.
Thorn Cljeney, Lloyd Merritt, Bill
Muffett, and Bob Smith are scrap
ing it out for the remaining two
berths.
The infield for the Cards is- pret
ty well set. Stan Musial will open
at first base, Don Blasingame will
be at second, Ken Bpyer will play
shortstop. The first three men are
well established. Dark probably
holds the edge at " short although";
young Schofield will probably spell
him quite a bit. Schofield is an
ex-bonus baby.
Eddie Kasko, Eddie Miksis, and
either Joe Cunningham or Tom Ala
ton complete the infield reserves.
Kasko plays anyplace but first and
does them all well. Miksis plays
infield or outfield. He is still an
other ex-Cub. Cunningham may
win the other berth because be is
a better hitter and can also play
in the outfield. Alston still can't
seem to hit big league ptiching.
The utility first baseman will spell
I Musial later on in the season.
Two outfield positions are strong
with centerfielder still in doubt.
Ennis is in rightfield and Wally
Moon in left. Moon hit .298 last
season and only & late slump hurt
the mark considerably. Chuck Har
mon and Bobby Del Greco are fight
ing it out in center. Harmon may
have a slight edge with the bat
but his arm isn't the best. Del
Greco is an excellent fielder but is
weak at bat. Bobby Gene Smith
could surprise at this position.
If Lane doesnt decide to trade
off too many ball players this year
the Cardinals will probably be a
stronger fourth place squad than
last year. At any rate there ap
pears to be quite a margin between
the Redbirds and the bottom four
NL clubs.

He's creating America's fourth coastline
THE grades this gentleman is making have to be
good because America's largest construction proj
ect, the Sc Lawrence Seaway, depends on them. When
it is finished in 1959, America will have a fourth coast
line 8,000 miles long. Ships will sail 2,300 miles into
the nation's industrial heart. Milwaukee, Chicago,
Detroit, Geveland and Buffalo will be seaports.
To get the job done, 3,000 bulldozers, power shoves,
draglines, dredges and trucki must rip 180 million
tons of earth and rock from the valley floor. This takes
machines with guts. And that's why most of these huge
machines use Timken tapered roller bearings. Timken
bearings roll the terrific loads, keep wheels and shafts
moving day in, day out, in steady, friction-free rhythm.
Keeping these machines rolling smoothly is just one
way- the Timken Company keeps America on the go.
We're working hand-in-hand with all industry to make
machines go faster with more precision, fewer break
downs, minimum maintenance. We're helping to im
prove the machines that are improving America.
This desire for continued progress made us a leader
the world's largest manufacturer of tapered roller
bearings and removable rock bits. And a leading pro
ducer of fine alloy steeL
