Meyer, Jackson On Comeback In American 1 1 By FRED DOWN United Press International i Russ Meyer and Ransom Jack- 1 son, who were big league stars 1 away back when the Dodgers < plays ir Brooklyn, are making i strong v.ny bids to start new careers with American Ledgue i terms. ' " " *~~ fi Meyer, the former "mad monk 1 of Flatbush,” is trying to win a 1 place on the Kansas City Ath- ■ letics’ pitching staff while Jack- 1 son, once valued by the Dodgers 1 at 2100,000, is battling for a third base job with the Cleveland In- ’ dians. I The 35-year-old Meyer impressed Manager Hany Graft i Thursday when he pitched three < hitless innings during Kansas I City’s final intra-squad game of I the spring. Meyer said afterward 1 that his arm trouble has com- ’ pletely disappeared and added. "I feel I can stick with the Athletics this year.” , Hits Two Homers Jackson, a 33-year-old native of < Little Rock, Ark., hit two homers and drove in eight runs during 1 the Indians* three-game intrasquad series which was concluded ( Thursday. A poll of newsmen cov- ; ering the Indians' camp made 1 him the series’ most valuable 1 player. Shortstop Billy Moran ho- ] mered for the big blow of Thurs- , day's game. Rookies starred for the Chicago j White Sox, Detroit Tigers, San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals in other Thursday intra- , squad games. Hal Trosky, son of the former Cleveland first-baseman who had : an 11-8 record for Colorado : Springs last season, pitched two ; hitless innings in a scoreless White Sox’ camp game. Turk ; Lown, Bill Dufour and Don Rudolph also starred, each allowing one hit. Free-Hitting Game Earl Hersh, an infielder who hit only .237 for • Wichita, homered the game-winning blow in the Tigers' game. It was a free-hitting affair in which Harvey Kuenn drove in three runs with a double and a single. Eddie Yose,- exWashington third-baseman, started two double plays. Don Taussig, an outfielder who hit .212 for Phoenix last season, hit two homers and droye in five runs in Saa contest. Rookie eatdher Roger iMoCardell and Hank*’ Sauer kteo homered with pitchers Johnny Antonelli and Mike McCormick absorbing most of the punishment. Infielder Wally Shannon, son of the Cardinals’ farm director who hit 290 for Houston, blasted a double and a triple in successive innings off Von McDaniel to highlight St. Louis’ contest. It was a bad debut for the younger McDaniel, a $50,000 bonus beauty in : 1957 and a four-star flop in ’SB. -- Grapefruit League Openers In other camps: Marty Keough’s two-run homer was the highlight of the Boston Red Sox’ : intra-squad game. Jackie Jensen singled and popped out in his • spring debut . The Washington , Senators signed their last holdout • when Jim Delsing agreed to ’ terms. j Following pitchers named for Saturday’s Grapefruit League 1 openers: Ken Johnson, Ray Her- , bert and Rip Colean for Kansas 1 City; Vito Valentinetti and Bill Fischer for Washington; Bob Tur- , ley, Bobby Shantz and Duke Maas j for New rookie Jifri O’TAole, 1 Tom Acker and Ted Wieand for ( Cincinnati, and Don Drysdale, j Sandy Koufax and Stan Williams 1 for Los Angeles. i Delay 01 Deadline ; No Ease To Crisis LEIPZIG, East Germany (UPI) < —Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush- ] chev's postponement of his May 27 deadline for toe West to quit ] Berlin fnerely peslpqnes the Ber- 1 lin ertefc and 'Hods* hot ease it, ; Western observers paid today. s Observer^-Who heard'him speak i Thursday got the impression he is in deadly earnest' about forcing ’ toe West out of Berlin.

Bob Pettit Breaks Single Season Mark United Fresa Intemattonal Brißiant Bob Pettit today held a new single-season scoring record in the National Basketball Association. Pettit scored 24 points against Philadelphia Thursday night to raise his total for a single campaign to 2.008 points, by passing toe old record of 2,001 set by George Yardley with Detroit last season. The game was stopped with 11 seconds to go in the third period as Pettit sank tha second at taro free throws to .establish the new mark. The former Louisiana State star was given the ball to add to his mounting collection of pro mementoes. Philadelphia, undaunted by Pettit s performance, went on to beat St. Louis, 108-101. In other games, Syracuse clinched toe third and final playoff spot in the Eastern Division by beating Boston, 142-118, and Minneapolis assured itself of at least a tie for second place in toe Western sector by downing the New York Knickerbockers, 135-115.

Dolph Schayes poured in 25 points to lead Syracuse while Bill aarman paced,Boston with 23. Elgin Baylor, hitting on 10 straight shots, helped rout the Knicks in the second half. The Lakers’ rookie sensation notched 1< of 20 attempts to lead Minneapolis with 32 points.

Two sophomores the second team—Larry Siegfried of Ohio State and Walt Bellamy,. Indiana’s 6-foot 11-inch center from .New Bern, N.C. Siegfried, the sparkplug in toe Buckeyes’ late rush- toward the finish line,, received 21 votes and almost nosed out Gunther for a spot on toe first team. Bellamy received 16- ballots.

U. Os Denver Accepts Bid From NIT By TIM MORIARTY United Press International The University of Denyer today was caught in a cross - country tug-of-war involving the nation’s two biggest college tournaments. The Pioneers accepted a bid to the National Invitation Tournament Thursday although they still have a slim chance of winning the Skyline Conference berth in toe NCAA championship. However, all their troubles may be resolved tonight if. Utah beats Wyoming and thus clinches the Skyline title. Hiat would leave Denver free to honor its commitment in toe NIT. ’’ ’ Utah, currently leading the Skyline with an 11-1 record, also has a conference date with Colorado State Saturday night while Den-ver(lo-2) plays Brigham Young tonight and Utah State Saturday night. So if Utah loses both its weekend games and Denver wins its .final two contests, the Pioneers will be conference champions. What then? Well, Denver already has indicated it will drop out of toe NIT and compete in the NCAA western regional playoffs at San Francisco next week. Makes Travel Plans Denver reportedly accepted the NIT bid because it wanted “time to • make travel plans.” In fact, coach Hoyt Brawner already has started lining up transportation for the Pioneers’ trip to New York, where toe NIT opens next Thursday. North Carolina, meanwhile, got off to a flying start in toe Atlantic Coast Conference Tourna me n t Thursday by knocking off £lpmspn, 93-69, in the opening round. Tar Heels, who are favored to win the tournament and its accompanying bid to the NCAA shindig, play Duke tonight in the semi-fihal round while North Carolina State faces upstart Virginia. Virginia produced toe only openinf round upset by eliminating defending champion Maryland, 6665, ort «' basket by John Haner with Sight* seconds to play. N. C. State, however, had to come from behind Iff defeating South Carolina, 75-fß,*in overtime and Duke turned badle Wake Forest,7B-74. Small College Tournament In the mid-east regional playoffs of the NCAA smal college tournament, Evansville rallied in toe second half to defeat Bel-mont-Abbey, 66 - 54. and Wittenbergeliminated Southern Illinois. 80-70. The winners wfll meet tonight for the right to represent their region in the championship at Evansville next week. Miami of Ohio missed a chance to clinch toe Mid-American Conference title and a berth in the NCAA major college tournament when it bowed to Marshall, 90-79. Miami now must face Bowling Green in a conference playoff at Dayton, Ohio, Saturday night. Boston University remained in

Adolph Rupp Named Coach Os The Year NEW YORK (UPI) — Adolph Rupp of Kentucky, now busy getting another squad of "fiddling" Wildcats ready to defend their NCAA basketball title, today was voted United Press International ‘‘Coach of the Year" for the 195859 season. Rupp, described the Wildcats who scored a sunwise triumph in last year's NCAA tournament as “just a bunch of fiddlers who turned into violinists.” It was the same story this season. Johnny Cox was the only starter who returned from the championship team but Rupp directed his inexperienced squad to 23 victories in 25 games of a rugged schedule. This accomplishment, latest in the string of coaching feats Rupp has recorded in 29 years at Kentucky, enabled him to win "Coach of the Year” honors easily in a nationwide poll of 268 sports writers and sportscasters. * Rupp received 65 votes, more than twice as many as his closest rival in the balloting, Frank McGuire of North Carolina. McGuire, who won the honor in 1957, received 30 votes. Ed Hickey, former St. Louis coach who guided Marquette to an NCAA tournament berth this season in his first campaign as the school’s new coach, was third with 28 votes. Pete Newell of Califaria was close behind with 26. Jon Eaves of Auburn was fifth with 25 and Babe McCarthy, who guided Mississippi State to its first Southeastern Conference title, was sixth with 18.
