NAPA, Calif. (Special) Manager Hugh Luby today is entertain
ing the idea of leaving Cor Salem two days early if the Salem area
. weather forecast is encouraging. It's a cinch no good is being accora
, plishcd in Napa by trying to wait out a determined rain spell.
.4 Luby this morning called around the Oakland and Sacramento
i valley to try to find a dry field somewhere and called Eureka on
! their weather situation. Even in that area, where the Senators are
to play twice this week-end, they reported 1.67 inches of rainfall in
the last 24 hours.
May Come Direct
;' -Luby said that chances are that if the Senators can't play at
Eureka, they will go directly to Salem.
The "occasional rain" forecast
Dorne out in me baiem honalors spring training site witn zu mile
winds being thrown in extra. The result was a gloomy face on Man
ager Luby, whose players have done their exercise moving from one
chair to another in the hotel lobby.
Not since last Saturday have they played a game and they've
: had less than two hours of outside activitv.
? Today's Game Called
Wednesday's two games with Wenatchee and the Napa All-Stars
were postponed and so was today's rematch with Wenatchee. The
Chiefs, training at Petaluma, were to leave for home today ahead
of the previous plans because of the rain. Friday, originally an
open date for Salem, was designated for making up the Napa con-
. test but it will take plenty of sun to make the Napa field playable.
i Luby offered first baseman Dick Traverst a contract yesterday
and is expecting an answer today from the rookie, who played his
oUege ball at Sacramento Juco.

NAPAi Calif. Disillusioned
nian weather which rained out
sity, tt-e weren t going co leave me Gripping campus wmium
a slory of some kind. Alter all, when the boss sent us inlo the
sunshine he expected something besides notices ot rainouls. So
we looked up the University of California baseball coach, George
Wolfman. and visited the Bears' spring foolball practice. One was
dry, the other wet but undaunted.
Wolfman is an old friend of Hugh Luby's, having played as
catcher for the old San Francisco Missions of the Pacific Coast
league in 1934 and 1835 just before Luby came out to Ihe PCL.
"1 watched Hugh play for Oakland many years and got to know
him real well," Wolfman said.
Wolfman later coached at Mission High In S.F. and after
coming (0 U. of California coached such major Iragtccrsto he
as Jackie Jensen and Sam Chapman. This year's Bear nine is
weak defensively, having lost four to CSC, splitting with UCLA
and losing exhibitions to teams of Major Stars and Minor Stars.
They beat VSF, Santa Clara, Oregon Slate, Oregon, Stanford,
Chico State, San Francisco State and Cal. Aggies.
HOW TO INFl.l'KNCF. PF.Ol'I.F.
Over at Memorial Stadium we stood in the rain with a sports,
minded student who comes from Vallejo, and, not letting him
know we arc nosey, c asked him about how come College of
l'acilic was able to get the famous Vallejo prep halfback, Dick
Bass. Well, this student with the soggy crew-cut and the wet
physics laboratory workbook happened to know a person who knows
Bass's father and also some of Bass' teammates who helped him
score a touchdown about every third time he carried the ball.
COP's otter was too much to resist, It Is reported, and he
rather preferred a smaller college "berause of fewer demands
on his study lime." Kick's a studious boy, e were told. The
offers are reputed to Include freshman year scholarships to the
first 11 players on the Vallejo prep team, 1 scholarship to
Dick's girl friend and a job for his father. He is said to have
received offers from pro learns already at Ihe lender age of
Bass' understudy as halfback
divided his time between baseball
bat and breaking 49 seconds in the quarter mile. With more days
in the week and with more heads he could leller in tennis or golf.
Anyway, Coach Pappy Waldorf of Cal and his eight assistants
were herding 93 grid prospects around in quest of a quarterback lo
replace Paul Larson. Waldorf, wearing a blue parks, fcwthall pants
and lowcuts, has a freshman hotshot QH from Sarramentn named
something like Gus Grinaulius who also hits ,4'ifl for the frosh
baseball team. That must be quite a tugof war between Waldorf
and Wolfman.
