Three Rookies Look Good In Spring Camps By FRED DOWN United Press International In the spring a baseball manager’s fancy turns to rookies—and right now there are three mighty fancy ones strutting their stuff. They’re outfielder Donn Clendenon of the Pittsburgh Pirates, catcher-first-baseman Gene Oliver of the St. Louis Cardinals and infielder Jake Gibbs of the New York Yankees. There may be many a called third strike between now and opening day but as of the moment big things are being planned for each of the trio. —Clendenon, who hit .290 for Columbus last season, drove in seven runs with a three-run homer and a grand slam Wednesday and may win a regular berth in the Pirates’ outfield. Starts Behind Plate —Oliver, who hit 36 homers and batted .302 for Portland in 1961, was named t o start behind the plate when the Cardinals open their exhibitton schedule Saturday against the New York Mets. Oliver also is being considered as a sub for lefty-hitting first-baseman Bill White when the Cardinals face left-handed pitching. —Gibbs, a .270-liitter at Richmond <atnd one of the Yankees’ leading candidates to replace shortstop Tony Kubek, hammered out a long homer in the world champions’ intra-squad game. The former University of Mississippi All-America’s drive shared the spotlight with Roger Maris’ first “homer” of the spring. Veterans Joe Adcock and Eddie Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves and Brooks Robinson and Jim Gentile of the Baltimore Orioles also showed that their batting eyes are sharp for the exhibition openers. Adcock Homers Adcock, pinch-hitting for both teams in an intra-squad game, hit a homer and three singles while Miathews, also pinch-hitting in the informal garni, had three ftngles. Rdbinson had and 5 ! a double and Gentile a two-run single in the Orioles’ hitra-squad game. Joe Cunningham, acquired from the Cardinals in <a winter deal, delivered two hits to highlight the Chicago White Sox’ camp game, Rookie Joe Horlen, 12-9 for San Diego last season, pitched two hitless innings. Other camp news: Rookie thirdbaseman Don Wert suffered a black eye when hit by a bad-hop grounder during the Detroit Tigers’ workout. . .Chris Short, Dennis Bennet and Eddie Keegan will

Most Colorful Tourney Cast At Capital By KURT FREUDENTHAL United Preu International INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — It’s a cinch that Saturday’s Central semi-state of the Indiana high school basketball tourney has the most colorful cast. There is unbeaten Madison, probobly slightly favored to gain the state finals. Anderson, the Cinderella quintet virtually overlooked in pre-tourney speculation. Muncie Central, in the “Sweet 16” despite a fact it had to do it without two key players suspended because of a hazing incident, i And Connersville, a team sure to shoot the works since it has everything to gain. It will be Connersville against Madison and Anderson against its North Central Conference cousin from Muncie in the preliminaries before a full house of 15,000 at Butler Fieldhouse. They met dur--1 ing the season exactly the way they are paired off for the afterinoon round. Cubs Blasted Spartans Madison, sporting a 23-game winning streak and ranked third in the state, outclassed Connersville last November, 86-38. The independent Cubs are built around 6-4 Larry Humes, one of the best shooters in the state, and Larry Cheatham. They haven’t played as tough a schedule as some of the major contenders still alive, but they won alt strong Seymour and beat tough Evansville Bosse by eight points, both late in the season. They have yet to be challenged seriously along the tourney trail. Connersville, 17-8, wasn’t at full strength early in the season, but coach Bill Brewer figures the return scrap with Madison could be an entirely different story. The Spartans’ answer to Humes & Co. is 5-10 senior guard Jim Crone, who averages nearly 20 points a game. Jack Lockhart at 6-3 is Brewer's tallest player. Anderson Big Surprise Anderson, the surprise package I of the whole shooting works, electrified this 52nd annual championship by dumping Indianapolis Attacks and Southport in the Indianapolis regional. The Indians edged . Muncie cm their home floor dearly two months ago, 60-!®, and on the’ basis of their performance last weekend should be favofed. But Muncie has, even more tourney tradition than Anderson, and although the Bearcats are operating without Bill Dinwiddie and Brian Settles, they may be hard to handle. Anderson checks in with a 17-8 i record, Muncie is 21-5. Madison hasn’J made it to the I four-team finals since 1950, when it took home the crown. Connersville has been there twice, but not since 1930. Three-time state champ Anderson is shooting for its 12th final four berth end first since 1948. I Muncie, still chasing that elufsive fifth state title, considers the ' state finals "old stuff.” The Bearcats have been there 12 times, more than any other team. The I last time was just two years ago I when they were upset by East i Chicago Washington in the title game. i ! * •* a Temporary Writ Is Dissolved By Court INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The Indiana Supreme Court Wednesday dissolved a temporary writ which had enabled the State Election Board to hold a public hearing on polling time last December. The high court also denied a permanent writ to the State Election Board which had sought the restraint against Johnson Circuit Court and Special Judge Jack Rogers. , The temporary' action, taken by j the high court on the day of a I scheduled public hearing cleared the way for the hearing to proceed. The public hearing was considered a necessary step in a pronouncement by the board that Central Standard Time shall prevail for opening and closing of voting polls and for voter.registration and-candidate filing deadlines. However, the high court decided Wednesday that a technical legal flaw existed in the petition filed on behalf of the State Election Board. It pointed out that the State of Indiana was not specifically made a party to the action and upon these grounds dissolved the temporary writ and denied a J permanent one.

ATl's Anti-Trust Suit Is In Recess BALTIMORE (UPD — The American Football League’s *lO million anti-trust suit against the National Football League was in the “ealm-befone-the-storm" stage today. The suit, in which the AFL charges the NFL with monopolistic practices, wtais recessed Wednesday until Monday, but fireworks in the form of AFL player testimony looms when the case reopens. The latest testimony in the federal case, being heard by Judge Roszel Thomsen without a> jury, came from President Kenneth S. Adams Jr., of the Houston Oilers Wednesday. Adams testified that l he was offered lan NFL franchise I in Houston and hdpe for an NFL' franchise in Dallas was held out for Lamar Hunt, who was founding the AFL, in an apparent move to block competition in New York and Los Angeles. Adams said Edwin Pauley Sr.,; an owner of the Los Angeles Rams, made the offer in the fall of 1959. He said that he was; warned by Pauley that the AFL would lose money and NFL franchises were dangled before him and Hunt. Pauley said that one of the con- j ditions, if the NFL gave him and Hunt franchises, was that the | NFL would not take AFL pro-: posed teams for Los Angeles or New York, already represented in, the NFL, or Denver. All-Big Ten Team Named By League Coaches CHICAGO (UPD — Jerry Lucas and John Havlicek of Ohio State, Terry Dischinger of Purdue and Don Nelson of lowa today were named to the United Press International All-Big Ten basketball team by the 10 conference coaches for a second straight season. The fifth player on the allconference honor five was Indiana’s Jimmy Rayl, the only junior on the quintet who was tied for the conference lead with Dischinger with one game to go for each. It was actually the third iMraMat season that Lucas and Dischinger have been named to thet earn. Both were All-America last season and seemed almost certain to win the same honor again this year. There was no question about the popularity of this five among the I coaches, always exceptionally i scientious in picking their players for the UPI team, the only one selected by the coaches themselves. Lucas, Dischinger Uanimous Lucas and Dischinger both were unanimous picks, named by each of the 10 coaches on the first team. Havlicek missed unanimity by only one point since one coach placed him on the second team, and Nelson missed by two points since two coaches named him on the second five. I Rayl, though named on the Ist, 2nd or 3rd team by every coach* was placed on the second team by four coaches and on the third team by one to miss the top number of 30 points by six. All five players are exceptional scorers. Dischinger has been the league scoring champion for the last two seasons and should he outscore Rayl in the finale will become only the third player ever to win the league scoring crown three times. Lucas, classed as one of the greatest players in cage history, has averaged nearly 23 points par game and Nelson is hitting nearly 24. Havlicek has hit close to 18 per game. Lucas Leads Nation The team would have exceptional ability in shooting and rebounding, with Lucas the national leader in shooting accuracy and Lucas, Dischinger, Nelson and Havlicek all classed as expert rebounders. All four are seniors. Lucas at 6-8 is the tallest of the five and also the heaviest, but Dischinger is 6-7, Nelson 6-6, HavA licek 6-5, and Rayl 6-2. Named to the second team for the second straight year were Mel Nowell of Ohio State and Dave Downey of Illinois. Other second team members were Erie Magdanz of Minnesota, Ken Srebel of Wisconsin, and Tom Bolyard of Indiana, who was on the coaches' third team last year. Chosen on the third team were Pete Gent of Michigan State, Mel Garland of Purdue, Tom Cole of Michigan, on the third team last year too. Bill Small of Illinois, and Ralph Wells of Northwestern.
