Dodgers Get
'New' Umpire
For Practice
Vero Beach, Fla., Mar. 14 (U.R)
The electronic age hit Dodger
Town today.
A cross-eyed "electronic um
pire," which not only calls 'em

dowed umpire, but does so with
out fear of argument, was in
stalled in the spring training
camp of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
This new gadget in a camp al
ready filled with gadgets was de
veloped for the Dodgers by the
General Electric company at
Electronics park, Syracuse, N.Y.
Improve Pitching
The immediate objective is to
improve pitching and batting
techniques. But in the long run,
it may become a factor in judg
ing whether young pitching pros
pects have what it lakes to win
in the major leagues.
The device, which is not
intended to replace umpires in
actual games, is able to operate
on an overcast day, but not at
night. It can register accurately
the speed of a pitched ball, pro-
v deri it is a strike, in ieet per
uifnnrl nt it nasses over the plate.
President Branch KicKey oi
the Dodgers said that the speed
ometer mav enauie scouting
staffs to establish the velocity of
a major league fast ball allowing
them to set specific standards for
young pitching prospects.

Still frothing over his team's ex

nament, Ken
tucky Basket
ball Coach
Adolph Rupp
today back
handed the col
legiate fathers
with an asser
tion that the
national invita
tional tourna
ment "is a bet
ter event any
how." Old "Rupp
and Ready"
just possibly
Oscar Fralcy
could be dealing in sour grapes
because his defending NCAA
champs were snubbed in favor
of North Carolina State. But the
Blue Grass farmer who raises
herefords and home grown bas
ketball players insisted that such
was not the case.
REWARD FOR GOOD
"If it wasn't for the NIT.
some of our teams never would
be heard of," growled the ro
tund man in the ever-wrinkled
suit. "The NIT gives us a re
ward for a good job."
The baron of basketball was
intimating, and strongly, that the
NCAA didn't.
His club won the Southeast
ern conference championship in
the loop's post-season playoff on
the same day that N. C. State
took the Southern conference
tournament title.
The NCAA chose N. C. State
from that district and Rupp im
mediately erupted that his team
should have received the nod as
the defending champion and
also because it had a better rec
ord.

ble which It missed last year.
Favored to win the NIT in
1949, Kentucky lost its open
ing game to Loyola of Chicago,
67 lo 56, but went on io win
the NCAA crown.
"The boys had to get back to
their classes, so they didn't stick
around long,' Rupp reflected
with a booming chuckle.
That club was touted by most
observers as his greatest team,
one which included such stars
as Alex Groza. RalDh Beard.
Wah-Wah Jones, Dale Barnstable
and Cliff Barker. It was so good
that it went into pro basketball
as a unit.
Yet here is Rupp, back again,
and he isn't too worried about
offending the sensibilities of the
NCAA brass hats. The reason is
that he thinks his current club
composed of 10 sophomores and
four upper classmen is better as
a second-year aggregation than
the Groza contingent was in its
sophomore season.
