Stanley Instills New
Spirit in Cardinals
By LEO H. PETERSEN
St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R)
Eddie Stanky, managing his
first major league club, has in
stilled new spirit and hustle in
the St. Louis Cardinals and they
promise to make things interest
ing in the coming National
league pennart race.
Stanky is not predicting
where his Redbirds will finish
other than that "we'll be shoot
ing for the top, just like all the
other clubs." And he feels that
any club which has a player of
the caliber of Stan Musial "al
ways has a chance."
He will go with a mixture of
veterans and rookies and is hop
ing at least five newcomers
come through. They hold the
key to his pitching staff and out
field. Now or Never
Stanky wants to play Musial
"in the outfield for 154 games"
and will do so if big Steve
Bilko can make the grade at
first. This is the third shot Bilko
has had at the job and it's now
or never as far as he is con
cerned. The peppery little second
baseman, who still is undecided
whether he will play, thinks his
pitching "will be all right if
three kids can make the team."

There are Willard Schmidt, the
"sleeper of the camp" who was
at Omaha last year; Jack Col
lum, a southpaw who won 15
games at Rochester last season
and Wilmer Vinegar Bend Mi
zell, a 16-game winner at Hous
ton. "If two of the three of them
can hold regular starting jobs I
don't think I'll have to worry
about my pitching,'' Stanky said.
Fifth Rookie
The fifth rookie in the pic
ture is Les Fusselman, who hit
only .260 at Houston last year,
but appears to have won the
second string catching berth be
hind the veteran Del Rice. Like
Rice, Fusselman is an accom
plished defensive catcher.
Gerald Staley, 19-13; Cliff
Chambers, 11-6; George Munger,
4-6; Joe Presko, 7-4, and Cloyd
Boyer, 2-5, will form the front
line starting hurling staff with
two left har.ders, Harry (The
Cat) Brecheen and 4.1 Brazle, in
relief. Brecheen also will be
used in spot starting assign
ments. If Bilko can hold the job at
first, Stanky probably will open
the season with Red Schoen
dienst at second, Solly Hemus
at short and Billy Johnson at
third with an outfield of Musial,
Enos Slaughter and Wally West
lake. If Musial is needed at
first, Stanky might shift Schoen
dienst to the outfield, where he
played one season, and install
himself at second. Stanky ap
pears to have given i.p the idea
of trying Schoendienst at first.
"Right now, I only know that
on opening day Musial and
Schoendienst will be in the
lineup," Stanky said. "Every
other position is open."
TOURNERS TO START
Olympia (U.P.) The best of
Washington's professional golf
ers will tee off at the state cham
pionship tournament beginning
here Sunday. A pro-amateur
tourney will start things off and
will be followed by driving con
tests. Championship competition
gets under way the following
day and will continue until
April 2 when the 36-hole finals
will be held. Ray Honsberger of
Clarkston is defending
champion.

John's rampaging Redmen from
Brooklyn, the "miracle basket
ball team of the year, will bat
tle it out with record-busting
Clyde Lovelette and his Kansas
Jayhawk mates Wednesday night
for the NCAA basketball cham
pionship. The Redmen astonished the
cage world again last night by
upsetting Big Ten champion Illi
nois, 61-59, in the eastern re
gional finals, but the general
opinion is that the Brooklyn five
will have to spring another "mir
acle" to whip Lovelette and Co.
Wednesday night.
Lovellette, who soars six feet
nine inches, racked up a mere
33 points in' leading the Jay
hawks to an easy 74-55 victory
over Santa Clara in the western
regional final. That was a come
down from his 44 points in an
earlier regional game, but still
it enabled him to smash two
more records.
41 Field Goals
' Big Clyde thus ran his total of
field goals in thfee games to 41.
busting the previous record of
31 set by Kentucky's Alex Groza
in 1949. And his three-game to
tal of 108 points wiped out the
old record of 82 set by Groza in
1949 and the four-game record
of 83 set by Don Sunderlage of
Illinois last year.
What's more, Lovelette now
has 26 free throws, only one less
than Sunderlage's record of 27.
It's not hard to see that St.
John's hopes for another upset
will depend on how they handle
Lovellette. In December 1950,
when the two teams clashed in
New York with much the same
cast, St. Johh's center Bob Zawo
luk outscored Lovellette, 19
points to 15, but Kansas won,
52-51, on a last-second goal by
big Clyde.
"I'd rather play St. John's
than Illinois," admitted Kansas
coach Dr. Forrest Phog Allen.
But St. John's is not to be
lightly held in its battle with
the team ranked No. 3 in the
nation. For the riotous Redmen
have now bowled over in suc
cession Kentucky, ranked No. 1.
and Illinois, ranked No. 2.
"Providence appears to be
with us," said coach Frank Mc-
Guire of St. John's. "What world
is this? It's impossible first
Kentucky and now Illlinois."
Zawoluk was the key man in
the Redman win last night.
chalking up 24 points Ten of
those markers came in the
fourth quarter which began with
the two teams tied.
The teams had been tied, too,
at the end of the first period,
18-18. But the Redmen reeled off
10 straight points to open the
second period and were on top
by six at the half. Illinois came
driving back to tie, sparked by
little Jim Bredar and Rod Flet
cher, who tallied 14 points each.
But then Zawoluk went to town
in the final frame.
3-Inch Disadvantage
Zawoluk, six feet six inches
tall, will be at a three-inch dis
advantage against Lovellette in
Wednesday night's battle.
. Kansas never was in trouble
against plucky Santa Clara,
which simply ran out of sur
prises after upending UCLA and
Wyoming.

Jayhawks ' pulled steadily fur

glimpse of basketball for this sea'
son and respects will be paid to
the late A. Z. (Tubby) Dean at
the senior high school gym
nasium today.
A pair of hoop scuffles are
on the program. A short prelimi
nary between the east and west
side merchants Is set for 7:45
p.m. with a game between Med
ford high seniors and next year's
possible Black Tornado squad to
follow.
Proceeds from the evening of
basketball are to be used in the
purchase of an electric score
board for the high school foot
ball field. The board will be a
memorial to Dean, an enthusias
tic supporter of sports.
Merchants have bought blocks
of tickets to enable immediate
order of the board. They have
them on sale at their business
houses. Aim of the Medford
Legion post, sponsor of the proj
ect, is to get tickets, shares in the
scoreboard, into the hands of
1,800 individuals. In this way, a
large group can pay tribute to
Dean and the burden of the pur
chase of the board will not be on
a small number.
Legionnaires are hopeful of a
huge turnout tonight.
Both games promise to be in
teresting with considerable feel
ing having arisen between the
rival camps. Any resemblance to
basketball may be purely coinci
dental in the merchants scrap
and the comedy that is expected
to develop may steal the show

Lovellette came rumbling in

heart with three quick baskets.

points.
