Kansas loses To Peoria In Olympic Final New Yort.l April 2.—(UP)—No sooner had the United States Olympic basketball team been sel- . ected today that it -was hailed as *'a much better teain” than the U.S. squad which swept every game in winning the ’4B Olympic title. “This will he a truly great team,” predicted coach Forrest (Phpg), Allen of Kansas, who will he assistant coach of the Olympic squad because his Jayhowks finished runner-up in the Olympic tournament. y “The 1948 squad, with the Phillips Oilers an,d that fine Kentucky Crew, were a good team,” said Allen. “But this yearis team will have much more power—much more all-rpund power. It will have everything—terrific height in Clyde Lovellette, Marcus Freiberger, and Bob Kurland—and great shooting.” ♦ ,v“You see,” Allen pointed out, “it so happens that the players who were selected complement each other beautifully to form a fine team, not merely an all-star collection. If our opponents try to gang up on our big felows,* why, outside shooters like Howie Williams, \ Ronnie Bontemps. and Wayne Glasgow will murder .•■‘them.” a ■ .. ■■ Allen made his observations af- \ ter his Kansas team had dropped a 62-60 thriller to the Pepria, 111.,

CaterbillHrs in the Olympic finals last night—thus giving the title of “hest amateur team in the nation” to the Cats, who already wore the A.A.U*. crown. ’ It was a game that showed Kansas’ amazing Lovelette to be human, after all. H j The game had earlier seen the Cats hold Lovellette to two baskets in the first half by douhleteaming and triple-teaming in a collapsing defense. It: wasn’t so much that Clyde missing, as that his Jayhawk -mates couldn t feed him the ball. The Cats led at the half. 31-21. j The Kansas Outside shooters started to dirk in the third peripd and the Cats’ defense had to come out a little: That gave (Lovellette a little elbow rjxmi and the pride of Kansas became the dominating figure in the game. That, is until the last 20 seconds. Lovellette wound up as high scorer with. 22 points, .while Williams had 18 for the Cits. In the Olympic Consolation last night, the Phillips Oilers trounced La Salle, 92-58. ‘ h The complete Olympic squad will be made up of Lovellette. Charley Hoag, Bill Ilougland, John Keller, Dean Kelleyj, Bob Kenney, and BUI Lienhard of Kansas, Bontemps, Freiberger, Wiliams, Frank McCabe, and Dan Pippin of the Cats, and Kurland and Glasgow of the Oilers.

Casey Thinks Yankees Will Do If Again St. Petersburg, Fla., April 2 — (UP) —Casey Stengel thinks his New York Yankees are going to do it again l . He’s fooled the experts , three years iji a row •by winning the American league pennant and the world series and ”1952 is goipg to be thd same.” “I know the Indians probably will be favored, but don’t forget the Red Sox were favored the last three yekrs and we wound up on top. 1 know we are-going to do it again.” While most rival managers agree that Cleveland should win, they concede the Yankees are going tobe tough to beat. As manager Jimmy Dykes of the Athletics put it: “Don't sell the oWnkees short. They Always cbme up with what they need.” What they need for the coming season is a new third baseman and a new centerfielder and it looks like Stengel will come up with both. He is not worried over what most experts call “my first base problem.” “I have the third best first baseman in the league in Joe Collins, apd 1 have Johnny Mize and Johnny Hopp back of him,” Stengel said. “And that doesn’t take into account Don Bollweg and Kai Segrist, either of whom could make the club. So let me tell you I’m not worried about first base.” Stengel rates Ferris Fain of the Athletics and EddiA Robinson of the White, Sox as th? “only first basemen to the deague better than my man Collins.” He is convinced that rookie Andy Carey, who hit .288 at Kansas City last year, is going to solve his third base problem. That became a problem when Gerry Coleman was ordered to return to duty in the marines and Bobby \Brown stood by for a call to the army medical corps. Stengel doesn’t expect either one around for the coming season. As the infield shapes up now, it will be Collins on first, Gil McDougald at second, Phil 'Rizzuto at short and Carey at third. McDougald alternated last seasqn at third and second but with Coleman, who played second on a part-time basis scheduled to go, Gil will take over that spot on a full time basis unless Carey fails to measure up. If he does fail, it will mean McDougald at third with Billy Martin, the veteran utility infielder, taking over second as soon as he a broken ankle.1 4 For the Centerfield job, it could be one of four men —Mickey Mantle, Jackie Jensen, Gene Woodling, who normally is the left fielder; or rookie Bob Cerv. Stengel has been experimenting with ndew centerfielders almost daily and the only spot set right now is rightfield where Hank Bauer will be stationed. The chances are that Stengel will

Mayor Doan stated that street commissioner Floyd Acker and city atto’fney Robert Anderson were auth» orized to draw up a new ordinance governing the resurfacing of Decatur streets after they have been damaged by any cause. The proposed new ordinance will be ready for action at the next council meeting. Mayor Doan was authorized to proceed to secure an easement, it possible, for a 50-foot wide publid right of way from U. S. highway 224 into Hanna-Nuttman park. At present there is a driveway 25 feet wide but it is believed that a wicker roadway is more practical especially since the fair is to be held at Hanna-Nuttman park. It will be necessary to secure an eastment from George and Lillian Mac Lean. Elizabeth Abell, the Watch Tower RU»le and Tract Sociey find the board of trustees of St. Joseph cemetery association. It is understood .that all partied invovled have informally agreed to the easement. 1 The council granted permission for the Floyd Gooding Rides Corporation. under the auspices of the Decatur fair board, to operate rides and eating concessions on Madison and Court streets in becatur for one week in May. The council pointed out tluy no games of chance would be tolerated. Walter Ford, secretary of the fair board made the request, stating that the board had spent more than $3,500 in preparation for the Decatur fair to be held the last week in July at Hanna-Nuttman park and had this opportunity of having the rides on the uptbwn streets with the hopes of replenishing their funds.
