Jay McCreary Tops Field In First Season Indianapolis, March 25— (UP)— After watching Jay McCreary operate for one season, a hint to the wise should be sufficient: It your high school board* is in the market for a new basketball coach, gents, the cpllege field is “wide open.” / < It never paid off more handsomely than in the case of McCreary, who did a splendid job at fiePauw University last year but didn't think he was “stepping down”;when he succeeded Art Peckaer at Muncie Central fest year. As a matter of fact, McCreary is sitting pretty. He is nothing less than a first-lass hero at Muncie after piloting the Bearcats to a successful defense of their Indiana high school basketball crown—a feat accomplished only five times previously. i r

Another successful recent example is Joe Platt, hired awfay from Carleton College to take over at Kokomo two years ago. Platt's platoon was a red-hot favorite for the crown this time after only two narrow defeats during the season. And Kokomo lost no prestige, in losing ot Muncie in the sepii-finals. However, it’s-a two-way street. While McCreary’s current contract has two .more years to run and he shows no indication of being unhappy in his surroundings . . many former Hoosier schoolboy mentors gained fame coaching collegians and the pros. i ' ! Take Everett who won the Hoosier Hardwood derbyjfi ur times at Frankfort (McCreary w is on his 1936 championship j club). “Evvy” gained nationwide : recognition at North Carolina Stdte. ? 1 So did Cliff Wells, whb moved on to Tulane after capturing the crown at Bloomington and Logansport. I Silver-haired Muray Mendenhall, for 22 years the hardwoot boss at Fort Wayne Central (he finally grabbed the crown in 1943 also belongs in this group. He later led the now defunct Anderson. Packers to a pro championship iw the old National league. ' After Madison's Cubs : won their first state championship two years ago, coach Bay Eddy Sjumped to Kokomo, then to Purdue in a few short weeks. You’re up in the "majors” when you direct an outfit in the Big Ten. In his first two yeais. Eddy hasn't had much luck. “We just haven't had the material.” he explained. i Eddy licked his chops at the state finals Saturday, though. “Just let me have, four of those big boys and we’ll be in the thick for that Big Ten championship.” With the 1951-52 hardwood season history, the open season for new assignments, Is about to begin.

Davey Williams To Play Second Base Phoenix, Ariz., Mar. 2ij—(UP)— -It's official from manager Leo Durocher today—23-year old Davey Williams is the successor to Eddie Stanky as the New York Giants’ second baseman.y,, - f “He’ll op'en in Stanky’s old job and there’s nobody close to him,” Durocher said. “1 believe he’ll hit -60 and if he does that'll be enough.” Durocher had tabbed Williams as the No.-I candidate to succeed Stanky when spring training opened. He seemedyto be losing some confidence in , the slick-fielding native of Dallas, Tex., about a r eek ago but insisted today that Davey would be_able to handle the Job. , ’ Williams, a $65,000 purchase from Atlanta in 1948, played in 30 games for the Giants last season and did not commit an error. He straight during one stretch. Cardinals Bradenton. \Fla.. Mar. 25 —(UP) — Al Schoendienst probably will deam with manager Eddie Stanky as the St. Louis Cardinals' keystone combination when they open the National league season. That longfpredicted move apoeattd more likely than ever today after Schoendienst and Stanky baited for the first time in yesterday's 1-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Schoendienst had played in the outfield and at first base this spring before Stanky finally shifted shortstop—the position he played at Rochester in the International league before he went to the majors. ~ Yankees St. Petersburg, Fla., Mar. 25 — (UP) — Bob Cerv, the powerful light-hander slugger who hit .344 for Kansas City in 1951, appeared today to be winning a regular berth in the New’ York Yankees’ outfield on the strength of his lusty bat. Cerv hammered his fourth home ninr of the \sprnig—high for the dub —as the Yankees defeated the Boston Braves, 3-1, yesterday and it came off 22-game winner Warten Spahn! Cerv’s arm is not rated strong enough for center field in vast Yankee stadium but manager Casey Stengel thinks he might be' a star in left field. Tigers Lakeland, Fla.. Mar. 25—(UP)— The odds still appeared to be against Hal Newhouser in his bid for a comeback with the Detroit Tigers today. The once-brilliant left-hander, who was put of action most of last season, was hammered for four suns in five innings as the Cincinnati Reds walloped the Tigers, 7-0, yesterday. Four hits, an error and a wild pitch Newhouser contributtd to the rally. | The Tigers play another American league team that .has been having trouble this spring today—the Boston Red Sox. White Sox Pasadena, Cal.; Mar. 25—(UP) —lnfielder Bob Dillinger, threey time base stealing champion of the American league, was sold today by the Chicago White Sox to the Sacramento Solons of the Pacific
