prompted Manager Leo Durocher
to state that. "As Willie goes, so

Or will he perhaps, become a
little jaded alter a long hard win
ter of baseball in I'uerto Jtico and
run out of gas?
The Giants are wondering be
cause seldom has the destiny of
a pennant-defending learn been so
hound up in one player.

last year, and wh could develop
into the No. 3 man. Kor relief, of
course, there is the incomparable
knuckleball ace, lloyt Wilhelm, and
Ihe hard working Marv Grissom.
Grissom still is a questionable fac
tor because of arm trouble.
Rookie Joe Margoneri has been
getting a lot of work in the exhibi

is going to sec more action. The
rest of the staff will consist of guys
like Al Worthincton, George Spen

leaguers.
Infield "Best
The Giant infield slacks up with
the best in baseball, with Vihiley

Alvin Dark at short, and hard-plug
ging Henry Thompson at third.
Willi.mis. who has a bad back and
n low hotting average, is the only
question mark hut if he can play

last year, llie cluu can carry nun.
The same is true with first string

With Mavs as key man in the
outfield, the Giants are well fixed
here too, although everyone in
camp is hoping that Monte Irvin's
bad season of 1054, In wincn ne

lapse and that he isn't coming to

Woollier! Praises Defense
Coach Phil Woolpert of the new
champions had high praise for all
his men. particularly Husseu ana
Jones, and he gave special credit
to the Dons' defense the best in
the nation, according to official
statistics.
"Defense won it for us." said
Woolpert. "That was the difference
in th game. We were up against
a great shooting team, but our de
fense and hustle beat them."
Russell had a simple explanation
for the triumph, the Dons' first
in a national tournament since
thev won the 1949 National Invi
tation Tournament. Russell said,
"I am playing on the best team
in the world and we just beat the
best team we ever played.
Coach Ken Loeffler of La Salle,
disappointed at his team's inability
to retain the crown, called San
Francisco "a great team" and Rus
sell "a great player." lie frankly
admitted Ihe Dons were "Ihe bel
ter team," but alo said he thought
La Salle did not play its best game.
Colorado Mins Consolation
The title victory was San Fran
cisco's 26lh in a row and 2XUi in
29 games this season. The Dons'
only defeat of the season came in
their third game when they bowed
to UCLA. 47 40.
The Dons' triumph conlirmeu
their selection as the nation's No. 1
team at the end of the regular
season by the United Press Board
of Coaches.
Gola, voted college basketball's
"Player of the year during the
recular season, scored only nine
points during the first hall white
Russell's 18 were sending San
Francisco out in front. And then
Gola tallied only seven in the sec
ond half while Jones was canning
18 to clinch the Dons' victory.
Colorado gained third place in
the tournament by winning the con-
solalion game from Iowa in a sur-
prise, 7.V54.
And the hero of this game was ,

Few Changes Predicted For
Next Year's Basketball Code
KANSAS CITY Ifl - The Na
tional Basketball Committco Mon
day waded through the results of
a country-wide survey ana indi
cated few, if any, important
changes will be made for the 1956
playing code.
The most likely changes, a re
liable source hinted, may limit
dribblers to five seconds in the
front court as a curb on stalling
and perhaps extend the bonus
free throw rule to cover a whole
game.

The collegiate game now is
played 37 minutes under the bonus
rule an extra shot for a first free
throw on a common foul with the
last three minutes making all in
fractions 2-shot fouls. The rule was
adopted last year, in preference
to the socalled 1-and-l free throw
policy.
The national committee is a 20-
member group with collegiate,
high school, YMCA, AAU and Ca
nadian representation. '
II. V. Porter, the committee's
executive secretary, said his group
starting Sunday night weighed
results of a questionnaire sent to
25,000 coaches and officials to guide
decisions for next year s code.
Although considerable criticism
has been directed against the bo
nus rule for "running up scores
and giving victories to teams out
scored from the field," Porter said
that for the third straight year
it was noted fouling has de
creased. The college coaches last week
end made three recommendations
to the national committee:
1. To put two defensive ulavers
in the near alleys on free throws
if the present bonus rule is re
tained. 2. Permit only single shots for
the first eight personals per team
each half, and two per common
foul thereafter.
3. Penalize all offensive fouls
with loss of the ball instead of a
free throw
