Pederson Quits After 26 Years As Utah Coach Salt Lake City W Ripen ing of a promising youth into an outstanding athlete: That's the major reward for Vadal Peterson, quitting after 26 years as University of Utah basketball coach. Now 60, Peterson Thursday handed his resignation to Utah officials. They said he's stay on the staff as professor of physical education. Peterson twice coached Utah teams to national champ ionships. In 1944 his Utes won the National Collegiate Athletic Association crown, then beat St. John's, winner of New York's National Invita tion Tournament. Three years later, In 1947, Utah won the NIT.

Bui I'm going to try and adjust my self and keep In touch with some form of athletics."

New York, tUB The Mighty Mick of the Yankee was a frown man o! the bateball world today ready perhaps to take hii place with the all time immortals of the fame. That Mickey Mantle may move into the proud line of succession behind Yankee slua- jgers Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Joe DIMagglo is no cer talnity, for he is still a bash ful, sometimes frightened 21- year-old crossroads . kid from Commerce, Okla. But there can be no doubt that he has the potential to be the greatest all-around slugger the game has produced, a bats man who in his career may hit a ball farther, both right-handed and left-handed, than any other man. In Washington yesterday he hit what many old-timers believe was the longest home ran in the history of the game.

The Pirates and Phils were rained out and the Cards and Cubs had an open date. So does our catching. I've been having some trouble with my infield. I would say it is fair. "Now, my pitchers who are supposed to win all the games haven't been trying so hard in the exhibition games down south and they've been getting hit. At least I hope that's it. I'd hate to think they'd been doing their best. Where I think I might be a little stronger Is in my other pitchers. "Take Johnny Sain. He a been looking better than he did last year. He thinks he's going to have a big year. So does Ewell BlackweU. He says his arm feels better than It has for a long time. Those two fellers 'could help." That was the professor's con sidered opinion of his chances. He was next asked which of the other American League clubs he figured he had to whip. "I hear that Lopes (Man ager Al Lopez of the Cleve land Indians) Is looking for a shortstop," he said. "Well, they're always looking for something.
