Kaline immediately ’left for a visit with relatives in 1 Baltimore before heading south for the Tigers’ early camp at Lakeland. Fla. It was believed he received neither a raise nor a cut from his plus-520,000 salary. “He said he was very anxious to get started.” McHale said. "And he’s a very serious-minded young man which makes us happy "Al said he wanted to get to the early camp so he can make a good start this season in contrast to his past two years when he’s been troubled by a sore arm and a generally slow start, McHale said. •Kaline, after a phenomenal 1955 season when he hit .340 and became the youngest player ever to ( win the American League batting championship got off# slowly _in 1956 but wound up strong with a .314 average, 27 home runs and 128 runs batted in. Ted Williams, the last major leaguer to hit better than .400. last summer predicted Kaline and Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees have' the capabilities of reaching that peak. “J appreciate the compliment," KalifflP said. “I just wish I were as sure.’ of it as he is, though.

Today's Sport Parade (keg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK (UP) - BasketbaU has come up with more than its annual share of individual surprises this season and it wouldn’t be too difficult to pick an “unexpected" All-America team if you led off with a young fellow named Oscar Robertson. Robertson has been the No. 1 surprise of the year. The Cincinnati sophomore broke a 10-year Madison Square Garden record with a 56-point spree and looks a cinch to make everybody’s ’■all” team And there, are a number of others who have come out oj noi where to at least get a healthy I look-in. Second In Scoring To name a few, how about Bob Boozer of Kansas State, Don Hennon of Pitt, Jerry West of Wesi Virginia, Eddie Goldberg of Syracuse and Bob Plump of Butler? The pre-season choices included such as Wilt 'The Stilt) Chamberlain erf Kansas, Elgin Baylor of Seattle, Guy Rodgers of Tmeple, Pete Brennan of North Carolina and Archie Dees of Indiana. They haven’t gone back any and still are fine probabilities for national I honors. But Robertson seems destined to supplant one of them when it comes time to make out the ballots. The 6-foot-5 Cincinnati star from Indianapolis is a strong second to Baylor in scoring but it must be taken into consideration that the Seattle sharpshooter plays a much easier schedule than Robertson. Boozer was one of the sparkplugs as Kansas State knocked off Kansas and Wilt the Stilt. The 6-foot-8, 220-pounder from Omaha is a jarring junior who does everything well and belongs with the best of them. Hennon Is Smallest Hennon is small for this giant set but the 5-foot-Blz Pitt star, who stops on a dime and gives a nickel change, has been a real mdney player. You might say that this is to be expected, Hennon being from the town of Wampum, Pa. A fine shot, he also is murder from the foul line with 34 in a row' to his credit. Goldberg is small by collegiate basketball standards at 5-foot-10. But the Fort Lee, NJ., player, another sophomore, is alert and quick. West, the West Virginia sophomore, can drive and at 6-foot-3, is* a defensive power. He can shoot, too, as attested by 37 points against a good Villanova team. Plump is "only” 5-foot-ll but the 155-pounder from Milan. Ind., is fourth in free throw accuracy and in the top 25 scorers. It is significant that he led Milan to the rugged Indiana scholastic title in 1954 — first time in 40 years that a small school emerged victorious. Milan High School had an enrollment of only 83 boys. So it’s understandable how some of these lads spring out of nowhere. But it sure complicates the year-end balloting.

Wilt Scores Only Six As Kansas Wins By FRED DOWN United Press Sports Writer Wilt Chamberlain, who long ago proved he can do everything else on a basketball court, offered proof today he can also sacrifice personal glory for the good of his team. The proof lay in the box score of Monday night’s 60-51 Kansas victory over Colorado. It showed that Wilt had tallied a mere six points — lowest of his fabulous high school and college career. And it showed that he took only ■ six shots—a total a third-stringer might take in a few. minutes in I today’s race - horse basketball ■ play [ Why? , Kansas coach Dick Harp wasn't i saying but the best guess appears ' to be that he is preparing a new I slow-down offense in an effort to I win the Big Eight title. The price of the new tactics is that Cham--1 berlain must virtually surrender : his chances of winning his three-. ■ cornered battle with Seattle's Elgin Baylor and Cincinnati’s Oscar Robertson for the national scoring crown. Pays The Price The seven-foot Wilt showed Monday night that he's prepared to pay that price as he repeatedly passed off the post to his teammates. Even Wilts teammates seemed surprised in the first half but they started to “mesh" in the second half. Al Donaghue wound up Kansas high-scorer with 15 points and Ron Loneski and Bob Billings had 14 each. ' The six-point effort, of course, dropped Chamberlain far behind in the individual scoring race. His 15-game average now is 31.07 compared to Baylor's’ 33.72 and Robertson's 32.94. Wilt had scored 46 points in his previous game, last Saturday, and he tallied 32 the first time Kansas met Colorado, Jan. 13. His previous low, high school or college, was 11 points against Oklahoma last sonWest Virginia, ranked No, 2 nationally. walloped William and Mary. 82-68, and Kentucky, tied for No. 10, whipped Mississippi State, 72-62, in other games involving teams among the top 10. Indiana Ties For First Indiana defeated Wisconsin, 9387, and went into a tie with Michigan State for first place in the Big Ten when Minnesota upset Michigan, 80-69. Michigan State scored a 90-84 victory over lowa, Northwestern beat Ohio State, 7876, and Illinois downed Purdue, 99-84, in other conference games. In other games, Notre Dame topped the 100-mark for the first time in its history in a 106-74 rout of Marquette, St. Louis downed Tulsa, 60-59, Jack Rose scored 20 points to lead N.C.A.A. tourna-ment-bound Connecticut to a 77-71 decision over Boston University and Drake beat Wichita, 71-65. Cincinnati Redlegs Heading Southward CINCINNATI — (IP) — Trainer Wayne Anderson and equipment man Chesty Evans headed south with the Cincinnati Redlegs’ playing equipment today. They’re on their way to Plant City where the Redlegs open their “Redleg rookie camp” on Feb. 15. Charles Evans, leading a British expedition which conquered Mt.

Kansas, which had West Virginia in the top spot last week, dropped to fifth- It’s the first time Kansas has been ranked lower than third in the weekly ratings since Chamberlain began playing varsity basketball last season.
