Monday was the first day for organized practices in the case of nearly all the coaches. Mentors for the spring sports are Bill Hanauska at North Salem and Hank Juran at South Salem in baseball, and Ken Hunt at North Salem and Lee Gustafson at South Salem in track. Hanauska has seven lettermen Dayton Nudges Xavier, 72-68 St. Joseph Trims Seton Hall in NIT NEW YORK W - Al Sicking, tabbed as the nation'sbest sub stitute center, pulled Dayton's Flyers back from the brink of de feat Tuesday night, then the man he replaced, Bill Uhl, returned to score the deciding points in a 72-68 victory over a pesky Xavier IQhiol team.. .., i- Dtyton's.hard won victory fol lowed a 74-65 victory for St. Jo seph's of Philadelphia over Seton Hall in quarter-final games of the National.

The semi-finals Thursday - will end St. Joseph's, the third-seeded team, against Louisville, No. 3 and Dayton, No. 1, against un seeded but scrappy little St. Francis of Brooklyn. Louisville gained the semi-finals by downing Duquesne in a second half spurt, 84-72, Monday night. St. Francis nipped fourth-seeded Nia gara in overtime, 74-72, in the oth er Monday night game to gain a pot opposite Dayton. Gray Helpful In Bevo Win GLENDALE, - Calif. I ' The Portland Beavers, using -three pitchers, shut - out the Seattle Rainiers 2-0 in a practice base ball game here Tuesday. Leroy Han, who worked the Erst four innings for Portland, was credited with the win. hurled for Eugene of the North west League last year, pitched three, and Dave Gray, from Willamette University finished out the game. Ed Mickelson rapped 'out a borne run in the fourth inning for the Beavers. The hit was off Seattle pitcher , Cal Humphreys. Two singles off Roy Pardue' and an error accounted for the other Portland run. Seals Give Moran SAN FRANCISCO - Veteran Infielder Jimmy Moran was given bis unconditional release Tuesday Ktr tha Con Vrnnritrit Kiifila t hia own request. Club President Jerry Donovan said Moran, field captain of last year's team, felt that he did not fit into nlans of the Boston Red Cliene, Godoy Last night s over-the-top Russian-style battle royal on the Armory mat ended in not only aa uproar, but also a tie between leapin' Larry Chene and Pedro Codoy. Both went over the top ring rope in the hectic climax for what had started out to be an 8-man struggle for a special purse of $300. For a split second it appeared thai the big South American mania . had the . ultra-popular Chene on the way out, the loser. But Chene had a heidlock on ' Godoy as the latter lofted him over the rope, and gave a big tug just as he was going over. This pulled Godoy over also, and ft was he who hit the ring apron first Referea Elton, Owtn wu be- Irked Gilbcrtson. Jantze May Switch Because he has no catchers, Hanauska is trying to convert Jantze into a catcher but will have to rebuild the rest of the infield. Because the Viks are just get ting started, their coach doesn't know what be has in the line of non-lettermen but expects he will have to use several sophomores. North Salem's first game is March 30 at Newberg, followed by an April 3 game at Cascade. Dis trict play opens April 10 at Leba non. Juran has only five lettermen back at South Salem with two of them being his top pitchers of a year ago, John Frederick and Bud inappeue. The . other three are Dale Jones, an outfielder who may convert to first base, shortstop Ron Baker and outfielder Darryl Fine. 45 Saxoas Try Out . Like Hanauska, Juran says it is too early to tell about the non- lettermen prospects. In Monday's first organized drill there were 45 Saxons out, which should give Jur an enough material , for a .iairly good team. The Saxons' are' hampered 'by lack of a field en which to practice because development of the new school has not got around to a baseball diamond yet. Juran is trying to line up a game for March 30 for the Saxons. Their first district game is April 10 with Corvallis here. North Salem's track team has been working out for the past month whenever weather would permit, but Monday was the first organized practice. Coach Hunt was not on hand because of an attack of the flu but hopes to be back soon. Herb Johnsrud, Hunt's as sistant, is conditioning the squad in his absence. Sprinter Nerval Back Among the Vik lettermen return ing are Jim Norval, sprints and broadjump; John Gettis and Dick Netz, high jump; Colin Morse, pole vault, and Jim Backstrand, jave lin. North Salem lacks weight men again this year but should be fairly strong in running events. Gustafson lacks experienced men for South Salem's thinclads and the bad weather isn't helping much to condition the newcomers. His team will be built around such returning lettermen as Jack. Scott in the sprints, Loren Blaco in the 880, Bruce Patterson in the hurdles and Dave Merchant in the pole vault. Both track teams have their first meet in the Willamette Relays March 31, when they will be com peting against 80 other high schools. Outright Release Sox, who bought the club's Pa cific Coast League franchise last winter. Moran. 30, set a new PCL field ing record for second basemen last year when he finished with a .992 average. He had led the circuit in two previous seasons, 1952 and 1954. . - Wind Up in 'Over-Top' Tie seiged by both grapplers and doiens of fans, after Chene and Godoy bad additional blows out side the ring.

Justice Walter A. Lynch of the New York SUte Supreme Court refused to continue a temporary Injunction Santee had obtained against the Amateur Athletic Union which banned the AAU from enforcing its lifetime suspen sion on him. Santee was barred for life by the AAU on Feb. 19 wften the organixation's executive commit tee found him guilty ot accepting excessive expenses in some meets last year. Since then he has ob tained a temporary injunction bar ring tne AAU from enforcing the suspension.

The court dismissed the section of the complaint dealing with ex penses after Charles P. Grimes, Santee's attorney, said he was "entirely unprepared at this time" to proceed. He asked for an ad journment in order to gather rec ords to support his charge that the AAU had by custom waived its expense rules.
