Williams Set To Ink Bosox Pact MiamU. Fla. (U.R) Ted Wil liams will end one of the short est "retirements" , in baseball history Saturday when.he signs his sixth $100,000 contract with the Boston Red Sox. Williams already has agreed to the terms with General Man ager Joe Cronin, it was learned today, and . will begin working out with the Red Sox almost im mediately after the formal sign ing ceremony. The 36-year old slugger has been working out privately and is in good physical condition. Williams originally planned to report to the Red Sox at Sara sota, Fla., a bit earlier but was unable to wind up his personal affairs.

The U.S. team has won 14 gold medals already, but most of Mexico City (U.R) Ray Hyde, left - handed hurler from Portland's Lewis and Clark College, started on the mound yesterday as the Uni ted States baseball team de feated the Dominican Repub lic 6-5 in the Pan American games. Hyde pitched scoreless ball during his three innnings of work. The policy of the U. S. team is to use each pitcher for only that length of time. The win was the second for the squad. these have come in University Stadium, where the run, jump and throw boys had control. In other sports: Baseballers Win The United States baseball team came from behind with a five-run rally in the seventh inning for a 6-5 win over the Do minican Republic while Melvin Kelly paced the United States to an easy 78-49 win over Brazil in basketball. Eddie Moylan of Trenton, N. J., and Art Larsen of San Lean- dra, Calif., advanced in the ten nis singles division. Moylan whipped Isaias Pimentel, Vene zuela, 6-2, 3-6, 6-2, 6-1, and Lar sen moved ahead with a 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 triumph over Mexico's Manuel Gallardo. Tommy Kono of Sacramento, Calif., set two world's records to win the 181-pound weight- lifting championship. He hoisted a total of 965 34 pounds, seven pounds more than ' his earlier mark, and set a new press rec ord of 315 pounds, in doing so. Sowell Sets Record And in track and field the U.S. boys remained supreme. Arnold Sowell, the 19-year-old sensa York Yankees in exchange for outfielder Hank Bauer and in fielder Gil McDougald.

LININGER & SONS Wednesday, March 18, 1953 Fires tion from the University of Pit tsburgh, set a new game record in the 880 meters with a time of one minute, 49.7 seconds., Team mate Lon Spurrier finished sec ond and veteran Mai Whitfield was fourth. The unofficial team point to Mai Whitfield Plans To Quit After 1956 Mexico City U.R) Mai Whit field, for more than a decade one of the world's great half- milers, plans to hang up his Cuban Keed Set for Bout With Dykes Miami, Fla. (U.R) Cuban Kid Gavilan, who says he's defi nitely on my way back to the title," and lanky Bobby Dykes of Miami tangle tonight in a 10-round television bout. The former welterweight champion ruled a slight 6 to 5 favorite to beat Dykes and con tinue his bid to regain the crown he lost to Johnny Saxton in Phil adelphia last October. In Top Shape But Dykes, who just missed de throning the Cuban Keed here three years ago, was in top physical condition after more than a month of intensive train ing and confident he could whip Gavilan.' Some 6,000 fans were expect ed to pay $25,000 to watch the nationally televised bout, which will be staged rain or shine at the Miami Stadium. Pledges Victory "I'll be fighting for the Cu bans," Gavilan said, "and I'll beat Dykes worse than I did three years ago. I'm definitely on my way back to the title now." Gavilan may run into trouble with Dykes' tricky style. The long - armed Miamian likes to hold off his opponents with an effective left jab and wade in with fists flying when he sees an opening. But the lightning speed and foot-work that made him cham pion may make the difference for Gavilan. Colorado Mentor Plots Big Surprise for Potent Dons Boulder, Colo. U.R) Colo rado, which faces San Francisco in the NCAA basketball semi finals at Kansas City Friday night, is a study in competent complacence. Coach Bebe Lee, a 38-year-old former Stanford star, came here five years ago. He did not pro duce a Big Seven champion un til Art Bunte left him flat for Utah. Undismayed at the loss of such a star, Lee taught tanglefoot Burdette Haldorson how to be a great center and won the confer ence title this year and last. Not Real Good "We're not a real good-shooting club and we're not poor, either," Lee mused as he drilled his veterans and poured over scouting reports on the Dons, ranked No. 1 in the nation. Lee said his players thrive on pressure. Almost always behind at one time or another in the big games this season, the Buffs proved poised and deliberate. They wiped out a 15-point defi cit to win the Big Seven crown on Missouri's home court. They trailed both Bradley and Tulso before winning out in the NCAA Western Regionals at Manhat tan, Kan., last week. Defensively, Colorado is good. It has not been out-rebounded this season, and has averaged 10 more backboard recoveries per game than its opponents. 21-Point Average Haldorson has scored at a 21.9 clip in 23 games, and forward Bob Jeangerard has averaged 16.6. But when the chips are down they perform best and are defensive masters. Behind Haldorson and Jean gerard as regulars are Muncie, Ind., juniors Tom Harrold and tals after three days of compet ition: United States 220; Argen tina 75; Mexico 39; Cuba 28; Bra zil and Chile 22; Venezuela and Dutch West Indies 18; Panama 15; Pureto Rico 19; Uruguay and Jamaica 7; Canada and Colom bia 6; Paraguay two. spikes after the 1956 Olympics in Australia. Now 30 years of age, Whit field is finding it increasingly difficult to keep in shape and even this year he is planning to reduce his campaignng. "I'm gong on a tour of South America with a special team after the Pan-American Games," Whitfield said. "That will get me in shape for the track meets on the West Coast the Coli seum, West Coast and Califor nia Relays. No Tour "I plan on competing in the National AAU Meet at Denver this summer. But I'm not going to take any summer tour to Eu rope or any place else." Whitfield is just recovering from a two weeks' illness and doctors advise him to take, a rest. "I'm a bit underweight," says Mai, "and the doctors tell me I should take a rest." Whitfield is enthusiastic in talking about his recent tour of Africa for the State Department. "It was a wonderful trip and I learned a lot," he says, "and I hope I helped teach them a lit tle, too. Education in South Africa is growing by leaps and bounds and with it, of course, so will athletics." Sowell Successor Whitfield thinks Arnold So well, only 19 years old, is the logical successor to his crown. The young Pittsburgh Univer sity star was a sensation in the indoor meets and he looked very strong here. Whitfield predicted before yesterday's 800 meter event that the U.S. runners Whit field, Sowell and Lon Spurrier would finish orie-two-three, but he wouldn't say who would be at the front. It ended with Sowell winning, Spurrier second and Whitfield just getting nosed out of third place when he slowed up at the tape. Charlie Mock, who have been together since high school. Neither has averaged as much as eight points per game. But against Bradley, when it was needed in the worst way, Har rold hit for 18 points. Lee has come too far with this "nothing" team to get nervous about San Francisco. "We're going to win that game against San Francisco," he said. "A lot of people are going to get quite a surprise."

To Be At Hearing Richard entered a hospital Tuesday complaining of head aches and stomach pains, but officials of the Montreal Cana diens said he would be at Nat ional Hockey League headquart ers for the hearing to be con ducted by President Clarence Campbell. The probe automatically fol lowed the match penalty Rich ard received Sunday night for his battle with Bruin defense man Hal Loycoe and Linesman Cliff Thompson. Campbell could order punishment ranging from a fine to life-time suspension. A fine plus suspension for the re mainder of the regular season was regarded as the most like ly sentence. Touched "Off Battle Richard suffered a five-stitch cut on his forehead Sunday night when high-sticked by Lay coe. That touched off the battle which resulted in Richard slash ing Laycoe twice with his stick although the Boston player drop ped his stick, gloves and glas ses and invited the Montreal player to fight with his fists. Richard also punched Thompson when the official tried to stop the fight. OSC Chosen For Dixie Hoop Meet Raleigh, N. C.

MedfordTribune St. Francis y Crusaders 68-84 in NIT; Dayton Wins New York (U.R) Spunky St. Francis of Loretto, Pa., led by cat-like all-around star Mau rice Stokes, found itself today the only unseeded team in the semi-finals of the National In vitation Tournament, but mighty worried about Dayton's high Flyers. "I only hope Dayton isn't too tall for us," fretted Coack Skip Hughes of St. Francis after both clubs had scored stirring victor ies at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night to qualify for a meeting in the semi-final round on Thursday. St. Francis ousted third - seed - ed Holy Cross, the defending champion, in a 68-64 thriller and second-seeded Dayton used its skyscraper height to rack up a 97-81 victory over St. Louis, the team that smashed the tourney scoring record in the opening round. Heinsohn Brilliant Thursday's other semi - final will match top-seeded Duquesne against ' fourth-seeded Cincinnati. The winners will meet in the final round on Saturday, with the losers meeting in a consola tion game. Holy Cross, despite its seed ing and status as defending champion, was a one-point un derdog. The Crusaders, sparked by 6-foot-7 Tom Heinsohn, rall ied from an eight-point deficit to assume a 34-32 half-time lead and continued to lead until Stokes led a drive that put the Frankies ahead, 57-56, with six minutes left. St. Francis upped its lead to 64-58 and then played ball con trol to hold the advantage suc cessfully. The cold statistics in the duel between Heinsohn and Stokes favored the Crusader: 28 points to 21, 23 rebounds to 19. But Stokes had more effective sup port particularly from Emil Wandishin, who sank three bas kets and six-for-six on free throws in the second half drive. Thus, Heinsohn was weary in the fourth quarter from his "one man gang" efforts; Stokes was fresh and still sharp. Uhl Off Form Dayton, despite a big height advantage with 7-foot Bill Uhl and 6-foot-8 Johnny Horan, had to rally from a 33-24 deficit after 14 minutes of play. Uhl was not operating well at all and Coach Tom Blackburn removed him "because I thought he had the 'Garden jitters' and needed a rest." Horan moved into the pivot and turned in a brilliant perfor mance that sparked Dayton to a 39-38 half time edge. Jerry Koch's one-hander to open the second half put St. Louis back in front, but Dayton ripped off six straight points and never was headed. Uhl moved back in with 10 minutes to play and crushed St. Louis last, resist- 17ITIIAM PARTS & EQUIPMENT Fifth and Riverside Squeaks ance with six baskets. Little Jack Sallee, whose out side shooting kept Dayton in the game in the first half while the collapsing St. Louis defense was tying up Uhl, wound up as high scorer with 33 points while Hor an had 29 points and 19 re bounds. Dick Bouschka led St. Louis with 26 points. Blackburn admitted , he was worried about Stokes, but added emphatically, "Don't get the idea St. Francis is a one - man team. They proved that against Holy Cross that was a team win." Davton's victory moves the J Flyers close to another shot at the main prize in this tourna ment a prize that slipped through their fingers twice when they lost in the final round, to Brigham Young in 1951 and La Salle in 1952.

Bolles, here to address a Har vard alumni group, said the rea son for his sahool's opposition was that lawyers had advised the NCAA setup was contrary to the Sherman Anti-Trust act."
