Hauch Feels Phillies Can Win Pennant (EDITOR'S NOTE' This to the third of 20 dispatches on the 10M prospects of the major league baseball teams.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports EdHor CLEARWATER, Fla. (UPI)— Things are looking up for the* Philadelphia Phillies. Manager Gene Mauch feels that given a break here and there the Phillies could win the National League pennant, ending a 14-year-old draught. The breaks he needs involve solving two problems — coming up with a third baseman and some left handed relief pitching. “If we do, and I think we will, watch out,” Mauch warns. He directed his club to a fourth place finish last year — the first season since 1955 it has finished in the first division —with a total of 87 victories, only 12 less than the winning Los Angeles Dodgers. Except for third base, a platooning problem in left field, and a bullpen problem his club is all set. It figures to miss the big bat of Don Demeter, but the two players they acquired for him, pitcher Jim Bunning and catcher Gus Triandos, may take up the slack. Balanced Catching Triandos will catch when the opposition uses southpaw pitchers; Clay Dalrymple when righthanders go against the Phillies. Bunning, only 12-13 with the Detroit Tigers last year, will be one of the starting pitchers along with Dennis Bennett (9-5), Chris Short (9-12), Art Mahaffey (7-10) and sophomore Ray Culp (14-11). Throw in the veteran Cal McLish (13-11) for spot starts, and it give Mauch plenty of starting pitching potential. Bennett and Short are left handers, the other four righties. Right handers, led by workhorse Jack Baldschun (11-7) dominate the bullpen. The others are Ryne Duren (5-2) and Johnny Klippstein (5-6). Dallas Green (7-5), also a 'Tigfetyr probably will : 'be the long man in relief and draw occasional starting assignments, especially against the Dodgers against whom he usually fe effective. There doesn’t seem to be any left handed pitcher in camp who can fill the bullpen void. There are some youngsters, but they appear to be a year or so away. So it looks like the Phil- “ lies will, have to make a deal to Come up with a left handed reliever. Weak At Third The infield will have veteran Roy Sievers at first, Tony Taylor at second, Bobby Wine at short and roekie Richie Allen at third. Allen is the key to that set - up. Allen, 22, hit .288 at Little Rock last season with 33 home runs and 97 runs batted in. Mauch points to centerfielder John Callison and right fielder Tony Gonzalez as "two fellows who can keep us up in there for many years to come.” Callison hit .284 in 1963 with 26 home runs and 78 runs batted in. Gonzalez batted .306 with only four home runs and 66 RBl’s. The veteran Wes Covington, who hit .303 last year with 17 HR’s and 64 RBl’s, will be in left field when right handers oppose, the Phillies. Mauch is looking for a right handed hitter to platoon with him. The leading candidate is rookie Alex Johnson, who hit .329 at Twin Falls last year.

THE ODDS ARE FLUID—The Ohio River was running at River Downs race track during the high water at Cincinnati, Ohio. This is the finish line and the top of the tote board can just be seen peeping above the water line. Water was standing in the club house just a foot from the ceiling of the first floor. - ... 1—... — - ■‘“ r ” f '

Sandy Koufax Hopeful For Better Season By CURT BLOCK UPI Sporta Writer Sandy Koufax spent most of the past off - season being praised, honored at testimonials and receiving ( almost every award baseball' has to offer. This is great but raises the question, where do you go from here? Apparently the Dodger lefty thinks he can go up and be even better in 1964. “I’ve never thrown this well this early," Koufax said. “I feel real good.” The National League’s most valuable player, pitched the first five innings in the Dodgers' 5-3 victory over the New York Mets Tuesday and gave only two hits, no runs and struck out seven. His control was right out of the middie of August as he failed to walk a man to go along with the three perfect frames he hurled in Mexico over the weekend. Hook Take Loss Jay Hook, the Met starter and loser, gave up four runs in three innings while his fielders committed two miscues behind him. The St. Louis Cardinals, the Dodgers’ most serious contender, won their fourth in a row and snapped a Cincinnati winning streak at three with a 4-2 win at Tampa. Harry Fanok, Dick Hughes, Dick LeMay and Barney Schultz shared the pitching chores and limited the Reds to seven hits, including Vada Pinson’s first spring home run. Outfielder Tommy Harper, being given a look at third base, was charged with a throwing error as the Cards scored their final run in the eighth inning. The San Francisco Giants won their eighth in nine starts, 4- over Boston. Rookie righthander Dick Sparks was summoned in the' ninth inning to save the victory for Bob Hendley who worked the first six innihgs. Willie McCovey had three of the Giants 10 hits. In other games' The Chicago Cubs blanked the Los Angeles Angels, 2-0, on three hits. Bob Buhl and rookie Sterling Slaughter pitched no - hit ball while Cal Koonce gave up all three safeties. Detroit’s Norm Cash batted in five runs with a home run and a double to lead the Tigers to an 8-2 triumph over Philadelphia. Minnesota bombed the Yankees best, raking Whitey Ford, Al Downing and Ralph Terry for 14 hits and a 7-2 win. Newcomer Felipe Alou and Rico Carty, a rookie to watch, pow—ered home runs as Milwaukee stopped Kansas City, 8-1. Larry Bohannon was the winning pitcher and knocked in the deciding run as Houston edged Baltimore, 3-2. Bohannon singled with one away in the 11th inning to end the game. Pittsburgh beat Washington, 5- in 10 innings. Vernon Law, in his first spring appearance for the Pirates, went three innings and yielded one run. Plymouth Grid Coach Resigns Position PLYMOUTH, Ind. (UPI) — Walter Jurkiewics has resigned as Plymouth High School football coach and teacher, effective this summer. He did not announce his future plans. In three years, his Plymouth grid teams won 10 games, lost 13 and tied two.

(UPI) rJohn Wooden, coach of "topranked and undefeated UCLA, is worried about unranked and five - times - beaten Kansas State. The two teams meet Friday in the national semifinals of the NCAA basketball tournament. Duke “and Michigan play in the other semifinal game. Despite the fact that UCLA whipped Kansas State 78-75 during the regular season, Wooden thinks the Wildcats will be particularly tough for his team to handle. He gave two reasons in a conference call Tuesday with the coaches of the three other teams: — Kansas State will have practically a home - court advantage in the Municipal Auditorium here. — Dave Nelson, a 6 - foot - 5 forward who scored 19 points against UCLA when the teams last met, now can’t even make the starting lineup with Kansas State. Ironically, second - ranked Michigan and fourth - ranked Duke also met during the past season. Michigan was the victor in that game, 83-67. Thus, Kansas State and Duke will be out for Vengeance in Friday’s semifinal games. _ Duke Coach Vic Bubas said he made a mistake in his first meeting with' Michigan and played a slower than usual “game.”~HF“"pr om is ed not to make the same mistake again.

Huntington's Defense Tops Os Finalists ..Second of four stories on the finalists .In .the .Indiana .Ugh school basketball tourney. By KURT FREUDENTKAL United Press International INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The best defensive record and one of the game’s real “mighty mites,” Mike Shumaker, have helped Huntington gain the finals of the Indiana high school basketball tourney for the first time in 19 years. By winning the Fort Wayne semi-state from strong Elkhart last Saturday, Huntington proved that its classy 26-1 record is no fluke. Still, lanky coach Bob Straight said a few breaks and a bit of luck helped . his boys along the 7-game tourney route. “We didn’t figure to ,get this far, but we figured we had as good a chance as anybody In our area,” he said. “I thought there were 4 or 5 teams capable of makjpg it. “If Tipton hadn’t lost (Harvey, Harmon, they might have made it. Then Elkhart and Fort Wayne Concordia had real good ball clubs.” Elkhart gave Huntington quite a battle before bowing, 64-58, and the week before the Vikings overpowered Swayzee for regional honors at Marion, 58-33, only a • short time after Swayzee had to go a record nine overtimes to beat Liberty Center. Veteran Crew That was Huntington’s fourth consecutive regional crown but the Central Indiana Conference co-champions marched into the “final four” for the first time since 1945 when they lost to eventual tourney runnerup ’ South Bend Riley. Straight, at Huntington since 1959, has a veteran crew built around four seniors and a junior in the starting lineup. Mike Weaver, at 6-4 the tall- r est, and Shumaker, the shortest at 5-7, are four-year lettermen. The other senior starters are 6-2 Phil Underhill and Jim Seneff, a 6-footer. Jim Schoeff, a 6-2 junior, rounds out the top five. Huntington, like Lafayette, * was beaten only by Tipton during the regular season, and the two w .wound UP deadlocked for first piece in the CIC. * Shumaker fouled out in the third period against Tipton and Schoeff ivas sidelined with a broken bone in his foot, “but I don’t know if they would have made any difference — Tipton was tough,” said Straight. Shumaker is Huntington’s field general and Weaver its top scorer with about 17 points per game. Shumaker also hits in double figures and both have career records of more than 1,000 points. “Pattern” Team Huntington has held its seven tourney foes to an average of 46.4 points per game, the best record by far among the four finalists. That’s part of Straight’s system of a more deliberate type of play. “We are more a pattern team, not the run-and-shoot variety,” he said. “Most of our plays are copied from others.” Huntington meets unbeaten Columbus in the opener of the three-game finale Saturday and Straight is relying on scouting reports to prepare for the Bulldogs. ' “They are a high-scoring outfit and nobody has been able to stop them,” he said. “We don’t plan anything special—just our normal game.” He indicated that Huntington may adjust its defense to whatever the situation. The Vikings may employ a zone defense or. stick to a man-to-man strategy. With a 15-game winning streak, the Vikings hope their luck will hold one more weekend.

Army Scores Second Upset In NIT Meet NEW YORK (UPI) — Army had just defeated Duquesne, 67-65, in overtime for its second major upset in the National Invitation Tournament and there was Taylor (Tates) Locke trying to explain what the word “intangible” means. The win was a repeat of Saturday’s 64-62 conquest of St. Bonaventure and moved the Cadets into the NIT semifinals against Bradley. New Mexico, a 65-60 victor over Drake in the opening game Tuesday night, will meet New York University in the other semifinal Thursday evening at Madison Square Garden. Army’s win Tuesday night came after the Cadets had fallen behind by 16 points late in the first period and by 12 at halftime. “How do I explain it?” the 27-year old Locke said. “Well, boys at the Academy don’t like to be humiliated and Duquesne did a pretty good job in the first half.” Lesson In History In other words Locke was trying to say that the half-time intermission turned into an athletic history lesson for his Cadets and the chief topic concerned Army comebacks. It must have been impressive because Army’s performance in the second half was brilliant and left Garden followers completely surprised. “The defense did it,” Locke said. “It was a lot better. They forced Duquesne into bad plays and they hustled on every chance.” If you have to pick one hero for the Cadets it had to be Mike Silliman, the sophomore center who had 29 points, 16 in the second half. “We just ran out of gas,” was the wily comment Duquesne Coach Red Manning could make. Willie Somerset was the high scorer for the Dukes with 23 points. First Game Exciting The opening game had an equally exciting finish with Drake rallying f*om a 10-point deficit With 4=47 left. Using a full court press, the Bulldogs managed to cut the score to 61-60 but four straight tree throws by Dick Ellis gave the Lobos their win. Fourth-seeded New Mexico had opened the lead by using a deliberate offense which quickly alienated Garden fans. “We didn’t mind the booing,” said Coach Bob King. “We’re used to hearing that cm the road. That’s the type of game we play. “We like to take our time. We seldom take the bad shot. I thought the kids played real well tonight. We made few mistakes.” Ellis was New Mexico’s top scorer with 20 points followed by Claude Williams with 17 and Ira Harge with 14. McCoy McLemore did his best to keep the Missouri Valley Conference team in the game, scoring 28 points.
