Rupp Seeking 600th Victory With Kentucky United Press International Adolph Rupp and Joe Lapchick, a couple of “old pros” in college basketball circles, dan add luster to already-briliiant coaching : careers tonight when Kentucky takes on Georgia and St. John’s of New York meets St. Louis. -T- The Wildcats, top-ranked among the nation’s major colleges, will be out to give Rupp his 600th victory as Kentucky coach in the important Southeastern Conference contest. Lapchick, who returned to his old seat on the St. John’s bench following a stint with the New York Knickerbockers, should go higher - than his eighth - place rating if the Redmen get by St. Louis at St. Louis. There aren’t too many top-notch opponents remaining on the St. John schedule. Ninth-rankedßradley put on a deep freeze late in the game to whip Toledo, 68-55, Wednesday night, while Michigan prepped for renewal of Big Ten play by downing Washington University of St. Louis, 68-63. Four men hit in double figures as Bradley racked up its 12th win in 14 starts. Dan Smith scored 21, Bobby Joe Mason, 14, Al Saunders 12 and Mike Owens 10 as the Bears sank 25 of 49 shots from the field. Bradley, holding a six-point lead with nine minutes to go. set up a freeze that Toledo couldn’t penetrate. John Papcun’s 15 points were high for Toledo. Michigan, with players In the midst of final exams, had to come up with some steady scoring to overcome a 31-24 Washington lead at intermission. Co-captain M. C. Burton tallied Michigan’s first six, points in the second half and the Wolverines came to life as they tied it at 38-all with 14 minutes remaining. Washington surged ahead briefly at 50-49, but Burton’s 1 basket gave Michigan a jead it never relinquished. Burton scored 22 points for game high. Art Obrock paced Washington with 19.

Warren Spahn Returns Brave Pact Unsigned By MILTON RICHMAN United Press InternatiMMl , Warren Spahn and toe Milwaukee Braves are locked in a $60,000 stalemate, and the southpaw ace says it’s their move because he won’t budge an inch. Spahn, who won 22 games last ’ season and then added two more against toe Yankees in toe World Series, has been offered the same ' $60,000 contract as last year. He feels he deserves more and $lO,000 would be a good guess at what he’s asking. , Birdie Tebbetts, executive vice president of the Braves, said, “We’re not far apart.” In'that opinion, he seems to be a minority of one, however. ' “I’m glad Birdie feels we’re not far apart,’’ Spahn said. “I thought we were. I expect a raise.” Other Braves Dissatisfied [ Spahn previously served notice he might be a tough customer 1 to deal with this time when he . revealed what his contract -talks ’ would be like before he even 1 started them. “I’ll go in and remind them ■ that I won 20 games again,” said ' Spahn, who has done it nine 1 times. 1 “And then they’ll say, ‘That’s what we’re paying you for, War- ’ ren, old boy.’ ” In any case/ Spahn isn’t the > only member of toe Braves who . is dissatisfied with his contract. ; Hank Aaron, Lew Burdette, Wes ; Covington and Don McMahon al- : so are asking for more than they - have been offered. t Some big leaguers, however, . are getting the kind of raises they f want. Bob Friend of toe Pirates is : one. Gets Substantial Boost - Friend, who also won 22 games - last season, became the 15th Pittsburgh play to sign after rei ceMhg-e substantial boost. Friend j earned •it in spades, making the t most starts of any National League pitcher, 38, and becoming the first Pirate pitcher to win 20 games since Murry Dickson did it in 1951. LL. The Yankees made some headway in their contract-signing campaign Wednesday by getting ’ catcher Yogi Berra, although their ace pitcher, Bob Turley, 1 dropped into their office, talked > for a little while, and then walked - out without agreeing to terms. Berra said he was “very satisi fled” with his new contract, be- . lieved to call for $57,500.' ,That . represented foe restoration of part qf a tog dice he took last year after experiencing the worst season of his career in 1957. Tigers Sign Two Rick Ferrell, the new acting general manager of the Tigers, signed his, first two placers, pitcher Paul Foytack, a 15-game winner last season, and infielder Inman 'Coot) Veal, who batted -256 1 in 58 games. The Phillies announced the signing of outfielder WgUy Post and catcher Stan Lopala, while the JQpdgers received the signed con- ' tractsot—eaicher, John Roseboro and infielder Charlie Neal. _ The Cardinals reported 18 players under contract with the signing of pjtcher Von McDaniel and outfielder 'Chuck Essegian. McDaniel. a sensation in 1957, flopped completely last season and was dispatched first to Houston of the Texas League and then to Winston-Salem at the Class B Carolina League. Essegian was acquired from the Phils last month. Signings announced by other clubs were: White Sox—First baseman Ron Jackson, infielder Sammy Esposito. and pitchers Tom Qualters and Bill Dufour. Athletics—Pitcher Bild Daley. Orioles—lnfielder Wayne Causey and catcher Charlie (Sugar) White. ■ >4: .

Lombardi Is Named Coach ; At Green Bay ’ GREEN BAY, Wis. (UPD—The • Green Bay Packers Wednesday i night picked backfield coach i Vince Lombardi of foe New York Giants as the man to make them a National Football League con- • tender again, and gave him five years to do it. The appointment of Lombari, ’ 45, as general manager and head coach by the 13-nian executive ■ committee brought an end to a ! rumor-filled two month search, J and apparently put a stop to a • meddlesome front office setup under which the Packers had three [ coaches in the past 10 years, j “My word will be final,” Lom-

bardi said in New York after the Packers announced his unanimous selection by toe executive committee. “I’ve never been connected with a losing team, and I hope to instill a winning spirit in the Packers in a lot less than five years,” said Lombardi. The Packers reorganized their front office in December after the club finished last season with a 1-10-1 record, the worst in its 40 year history. Coach Ray JdcLean resigned almost immediately to become an assistant coach with the Detroit Lions, and his entire staff, except for chief scout Jack Vainisi, quit also. Thus Lombardi, who has never held a head coaching job above the high school level before, takes over a clean house with full authority to hire or fire, punt or pass. The reorganization makes him responsible only to Packer President Dominic Olejniczak, and there will be no more Monday executive committee meetings to second guess his Sunday afternoon

aecisions. > The status of Verne Lewellen, who held the title of general manager under the old executive stup, was left up In the. air. “It is assumed I will stay on as business manager,” Lewellen said. His duties were much in this line prior to toe reorganization. Sees Legislation For TV Black Out NEW YORK (UPD—Sen. Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.) predicted today that Congress will allow the maj<sr leagues to black out telecasts of their baseball games within a 75-mile radius of minor league contests. Keating said indications of support in both houses have made him confident that Congress in 1959 or 1960 will approve legislation to exempt professional team sports from anti-trust laws on this

and other points. The senator, in • speech prepared for delivery to toe antitrust section of the New York State Bar Association, said tbdt failure by Congress to allow limitation of major league broadcasts “could spell toe end of the minors.” ' He said this problem was being “given special treatment” in the bill which he has introduced along with Senate Republican Leader Everett M. D|rksen (Bl.) and Sen. Thomas C. Hennings (DMo.). The bill also would give sanction to baseball’s' reserve clause and football’s player selection system, protect “the right to operate within specified geographic areas” and strengthen toe hand of league officials in preserving “public confidence in the honesty of sports contests.” Keating emphasized that the right of players to “protect their mutual interests” through their own associations would be protected. -
