Double Tourney
Play Possible
NEW YORK. Feb. a UP)
Three teams Bradley, Kentucky
and Duquesne may shoot for a
"grand slam" by playing in both
the national invitation and NCAA
basketball tournaments.
The three of them, through
spokesmen, indicated today they
would be receptive to double bids,
if forthcoming.
At the same time Asa Bushnell,
who occupies an important role
in both tournaments, aaid there
would be no official objection.
"The two meets aren't in com
petition with one another but work
in complete harmony," he said.
"In fact, I think we csn expect
at least a couple of teams to be
in both."
He added that the matter would
be entirely up to the authorities
of the individual colleges.
"Kentucky played in both last
year," he added, "and I don't
know of any harm that, came from
it"
Holy Cross, which led the Asso
ciated Press poll for weeks before
dropping to second, then third, el
ready has accepted a bid to the
MCAA and reports it is not inter
ested in the invitation. The Crusa-
dera are unbeaten in 24 games.
Ohio State closed out its regular
ca.npaign last night by beating
Michigan. 69-58. It waa the Buck-
eys' 11th victory in the Big Ten
against one defeat.
Wisconsin clinched second In the
standings by licking Northwestern,
87-S3, while Indiana topped Illi
nois, so-66.
Kansas State stsyed In the Big

Major League
Training Due
(By Th AseoeUted Preset
Major league baseball's 1950 spr
ing training season opens tomor
row and each of the 18 camp sites
will house at least one "question
mark."
The world champion New York
Yankees, for instance anxiously
will be watching Joe PiMaggion.
Johnny Mize and Tommy Henrich
go through their paces.
The questions:
Has Dimaggio recovered com
pletely from the heel ailment that
kept him out of the lineup in his
team's first 65 games last yaar?
Has Mize recovered from a
shoulder injury that relegated the
big cat to pinch-hitting chorea only
during the stretch drive?
Has Henrick recuperated from a
shoulder injury that caused him
to plsy out the 1949 season in a
corset?
The St. Louis Cardinals, who
like the Ysnks, train at St. Peter
burg, also have a number of oues
tion marks. These include first
basemen Nippy Jonea and Steve
Rilko, shortstop Marty Marion and
third baseman Eddie Kazak. '
Jonea is recovering from a back
operation. Bilko has undergone a
leg operation.
The Philadelphia Phillies, condi
tioning st Clearwater, will center
their attention on Eddie Waitkus,
first baseman, shot by a deranged
girl in a Chicago hotel last year.
Waitkus hss been at the Phil base
for some time and reports him
self in shape.
At Tampa, where the Cincinnati
Reds will train, the No. 1 brow
wrinkler is Ewell Blackwell, Lan
ky sidesrm righthsnder.
Blackie, who underwent a kid
ney operation before the start of
the 1949 season, had a bad year.
Across the continent, at. Pasa
dena, Calif., the Chicago White
Sox are wondering about Gus Zer
nial. Zernial was lesding the
American league in balling unii!
he broke his collarbone making
a shoe string catch in Cleveland.
Zernial has been working out in
a gym during the off season to
strengthen his back and arms.
Not all the question marka in
volve ailments. For instsnre. the
Cleveland Indians, who boil out at
Tucson, Ariz., will try to find out
if Manager Lou Boudreau, second
baseman Joe Gordon, third base
man Ken Keltner and pitcher Bob
by Feller can return to their cham
pionship form of 1948.

bicycled his way through most of
10 rounds lsst night, emerging
from the non-title fracas with a
split decision over John L. Davis
of Oakland.
Williams weighed 143, Davis
137.
The titleholder picked up his ad
vantage by his boxing skill, an
educated left jab picking off the
crouching Davis frequently.
Most of the crowd of 4,200 fans
agreed with Referee Jimmy Wil
son that Davis' agressiveness hsd
earned him the decision, but the
two judges thought otherwise.
The Oakland youngster swarmed
all over Williams in the final round
and rocked him with straight lefta
and rights.
