By Lao H. Patarsen UPI Staff Writer VEKO BEACH. Fla. (UPP It'i too bad for the Los Angeles Dodgers that the National League txnnant race isn t settled on pa per for in that case they'd have it all wrapped up. This was the same case last year at this time. On paper and in the books of the oddsmakers the Dodgers looked like the class of the league. On the iield, however, It was the Cincinnati Reds who came on to win and beat the second-place Dodgers bv four games. General Manager Buzzy Bavasl and field manager Walter Alston are determined not to let It hap pen again. They don t think it will because they have what they consider to be the best group of starting pitchers In the league and a bunch ol Kids wno iook line they have the potential to make CARNIVAL QUEEN Sujie Cutter, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert L Cutter, 511 Drake Road, and a University f Washington sophomore was elected queen of the re cent winter carnival at White Pass, near Yakima. Seeded teams picked to gain NIT semifinals NEW YORK (UPD - St. John's and Bradley, two seeded teams are favored to win tonight and advance Into the semifinal of the National Invitation Basketball Tournament at Madison Square Garden. St. John's Is the heavy choice over Holy Cross while Bradley is a slight favorite over Duquesne in quarter-final games. The win ners then will meet Thursday night alter Dayton plays Loyola of Chicago on Uie samo program. The Redmen, rated No. 1 in tlio East, have won the NIT cham pionship three times whllo the Braves from Peoria, 111., have captured two titles. Both teams drew first round byes In the cur rent tourney. Foley HC's Star St. John's will be out to stop Holy Cross' high -scoring Jack (The Shot) Foley, who scored 34 points in the Crusaders' 72-71 op ening round victory over Colorado State. Coach Joe Lapchlck of St. John's nays, "Maybe I should leu my five guys to cover the other four guys on Holy Cross and let Jack Foley roam. After all, he's going to score 30 to 50 points anyway no matter what we do. Foley averaged more than 33 points a game as mnnenip to the nation's top scorer, Bill McGill of Utah, mis season. Depend On Ellis St. John's will depend on 6-10 Loroy Ellis to provide it with re bounding and scoring strength. Lapchick said ha plans to use rugged Willie Hall or Kevin Loughery on the strlngbean Foley. Bradley, representing the lough Missouri Valley Conference, will rely on All-America Chet (The Jet) Walker In trying to avenge an early season loss to Duquesne. Backing up Walker, the Braves have 8-8 Dick Peterson and 5-3 Ed Wodka. Willie Somerset, a 5-9 bundle of energy Is the eye-catcher for the Iron Dukes, who downed Navy, 70-38. In the first round Duquasne's tallest operatives are 6-0 Clyde Arnold and 6 0 raw Benoc COUNTS LEADS BEAVERS COR VALLIS (UPI) - Mel Counts, 7-foot sophomore sensa " si htflii jfteefi ii m reft- IsWaWai sWrVaaL fVfl tion, led Oregon State's basketball team in scoring with 537 points, second highest season total in the school's history. The highest was 614 points by Swede Halbrook In 1934. Jay Carty was second with 446 points, Steve Pauly had 323 and - Jerry Baker 277. ' up the slack left 'by the loss of five players in the N.L. draft and the sale of second baseman Char lie Neal to the New York Mets. Lost Three Pitchers The Dodgers lost three pitchers Roger Craig, Dick Farrell and Jim Golden and two first base men Gil Hodges and Norm Larker In the draft. For Neal they got Lee Walls, who can play the outfield or third base, and jioo.ooo. "That $100,000 Isn't going to help us on the playing field, but we think Walls will and that we have kids who will do better for us than Craig, Farrell and Golden did," explained Alston. "We also have to come up with a first baseman. But we wouldn't have put Hodges and Larker on our draft list it we didn t think we had someone to take over the job." That someone could be Frank Howard or Ron Fairly. Both are outfielders who were used part of the time at first last season. The Dodgers' big hope, of course, is that Howard will final- ly make It big. Last season he was used sparingly, but came along fast when he played every day at the tail end ot uie year. Tagged as a coming home run champion, he hit only 15 homers and drove in only 45 runs. Fairly, also used infrequently until near the end of the season, wound up hitting .322 with 10 HR's and 48 RBI's. As for their pitching, they have to come up with four hurlers to back up their big four starters left handers Johnny Podres and Sandy Koufax and right handers Don Drysdale and Stan Williams and No. 1 and 2 bullpen punch in right hander Larry Sherry and southpaw Ron Perranoski. Tops In Strikeouts All of them can fire that ball and form the greatest group of strikeout pitchers in the league. Podres and Koufax each won 18 games, with Podres striking out 124 and Koufax 269. Williams won 15 games with 205 strikeouts and Drysdale 13 while whiffing 182 batters. Sherry was 4-4 with 79 strikeouts and Perranoski 7-5 with 56 strikeouts. Ed Roebuck, who was out most of last season with a sore arm; rookies Joe Moellcr, who won 20 and lost 9 with Reno, Greenville and Spokane, and Phil Ortega, who was 8-14 at Spokane, look like the best bets to take up the pitching slack. It will be John Roscboro behind the plate with Norm Sherry, brother of Larry, behind him. Junior Gilliam will be at sec ond with rookie Larry Burrlght, a .291 hitter at Atlanta, behind hlms Maury Wills, Uie base steal ing expert will be at short and the veteran Daryl Spencer at third. Wally Moon Is the only outfield er sure of full time duty. The vet eran Duke Snider will be used as much as possible, but isn't likely to play in more games than he did last season 85. The Davis boys, Tommy and Willie, also will see outfield duty. Both were disappointments last year but the word on them Is that eventually they are going to become stars. Utes shut out in double bill LOS ANGELES (UPD-Los An geles must seem just downright inhospitable to the University of Utah baseball team. The Utes played Into games Against local opposition Monday, the University of Southern Cali fornia and Los Angeles State Col lego, where opposing pitchers wouldn't give the visitors one run. The Ute rame up against the Trojans In the afternoon and were shutout 6-0. Monday night they met Los Angeles State and were blanked 10-0. Vetoran Trojan pitcher Cen Yaryan acted stingy all afternoon, giving up only two hits in seven innings. Yaryan added insult to injury by sulking out 14 Ute batters. A big four-run fourth inning put tho game on Ice for the Trojans. . Los Angeles state was equally as unfriendly. They didn't even take time to get acquainted and pushed across four runs in the first Inning, two In the second, and one each In the third and fourth frames. CRIMINS MOVES CLACKAMAS, Ore.

At this stage of their training last spring, the Yankees had won only one of nine games and Man ager Ralph Houk was worried. Now Houk is smiling and the rest of Hie American League manag ers are worried, for the champs are winning most of their exhibi tions with "fringe" players. Bob Turley, Gary Blaylock, Hal Stowe and Frank Carpin shared the pitching Monday as the Yan kees blasted the Milwaukee Braves, 10-4, at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Of the four hurlers, only Tur ley probably will be with the club on opening day. The big right-hander, hampered most of last season by a sore arm, worked the first two innings against the Braves, giving up a pair of scratch hits but no runs.

The Cards scored their first two runs with out the benefit of a hit off Jim Maloney, who doled out seven walks iu Jbe Ocst. three innings. Curt Wood's ttenble end- a single by Ken Boyer accounted for the Cards' winning run in the sixth. Frank Robinson hit a two-run homer for the Reds. The New York Mets. like the Reds, also can't win for losing. The new National League entry suffered its fifth straight defeat, 1-0, to the Baltimore Orioles. Brooks Robinson, who had tripled to open the fifth inning, scored the only run when shortstop Elio Chacon made a hurried, wide throw to the plate after fielding Andy Etchebaxren's difficult bouncer.

The Senators gained their big lead with the help of homers by Pete Daley, Dale Long and Chuck Hinton be fore the White Sox erupted for six runs in the eighth and another half-dozen in the ninth.

Douglas MondnypTpfnsed bail for under world boxing figure Frankie Car bo. Carbo's conviction In Los An geles of conspiring to extort mon ey from the manager of former welterweight champion Don Jor dan is pending in the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Douglas said he based his action on possible danger to witnesses in a new trial if Carbo were allowed bail, because Carbo, as "the al leged ringleader of the conspir acy," would stand "to lose the most should he be faced with a new trial." He said this was an appropriate consideration, although the circuit court ruled it was not. However, he ordered Joseph Sica, convicted with Carbo in the case, freed on $50,000 bail. He or dered Sica to remain in the South ern Federal District of California and report to the U.S. marshal every day except Sundays and holidays.

New coach Bill Bauer, former Linfield College player, has had his squad hustling for several days in preparation for the opening con test March 30 at Madras, with a double bill the following afternoon at Klamath Falls. Bauer looks for strong hitting from several veteran infielders and. outfielders, but, in the im portant pitching and catching de partment, it's strictly a question of how fast the newcomers de velop.

Saturday's, bout completes a se ries of three In which the title has twice changed hands.

New Pitchers Listed Kemple is a sophomore, with Hamilton a freshman. The pitching staff is also load ed with newcomers with right handers Barry Hebert, Rich Gunderson, Gary McKinney and Paul Wardlaw and lefthander Jim Matson. All but Matson, a sopho more, are juniors. Hebert saw quite a bit of action for last summer's Legion team, while Wardlaw pitched a little for the Bruins last spring. But if there is a scarcity of ex perience in the pitching and catch ing ranks, there are several vets back at the other spots. At first base is Jan Bowlus, a two-year letterman, with junior Clint Brummit, up from the Le gion traveling squad, pressing him for the starting spot. Bauer has moved three-year let terman Mike Genna to second, with Jerry Wetle also shooting for Paret last saw acUon on last Dec. 9 when Gene Fullmer thwart ed his bid to win Uie world (NBA) middleweight crown with a TKO in the 10th round.

Griffith's pro record is 28-3 com pared to Paret's 34-11-3 and he is somewhat the bigger man from Uie waist up. Paret, 25, won the championship for the first time when he out pointed Don Jordan on May 27, 1960 and successfully defended against Federico Thompson on Dec. 10, 1960.
