Infield Big Problem
For Boston Red Sox
By LEO H. PETERSON
United Press Sports Writtr
Sarasota; Fla. (U.R) Wheth
er or not Ted William plays ball
this season, Mike Higgins has
his work cut out in his major
league debut as Red Sox manag
er. He is taking over a team built
around youth and one which fin
ished fourth last season, 42
games behind the pennant - win
ning Indians. That showing was
a disappointment and Lou Boud
reau was let go.
So far Higgins has made little
progress in solving his No. 1
problem, the infield. And that
was the weak link in the Red
Sox. armor last season, contribut
ing most of the 176 errors which
the team committed, -Boiling's
Injury Hurts
The desperate Red Sox have
picked up such players as Owen
Friend, who failed in previous
major league tries and batted
only .251 at Indianapolis last
season; and Bill Klaus, who
couldn't make it with the Giants,
hatting .280 at Minneapolis in
1954, and also are trying out
Eddie Joost, the deposed Phila
delphia A's manager.
Friend, Klaus 'and Joost are
battling for the shortstop post
because Milt Boiling, who was
expected to win the job, will be
out for at least six more weeks
with a broken left wrist.
All other infield spots are
troublesome, too, although the
veteran Billy Goodman has been
assigned the second base spot.
But the feeling still is that a
team doesn't win pennants with
a player like Goodman at sec
ond. As good a hitter as he is,
Goodman doesn't make , the
double play well.
Lepcio at Third
Norm Zauchin, who hits a
long ball and played for Higgins
at Louisville last season, may
beat out Harry Agganis for the
first base job. Ted Lepcio,- who
had been played second and
short, has been getting the call
over veteran Grady Hatton. the
former Redleg, at third . base.
Billy Consolo probably will be
kept for utility duty.
If Williams returns? the out
field will be set with'Ted in left,
fleet Jim Piersall in center and
hard-hitting Jackie Jensen in
right. Should Williams retire
the left field spot is wide open.
The three candidates are: Faye
Thorneberry, just out of military
service; . Gene Stephens, who
hit .296 at Louisville, or hold
over Karl Olson will get the left
field berth.
Sammy White will be the No.
1 'catcher with Peter Daley, who
hit .275 at Louisville last sea
son, likely to be his chief under
study.
Rookie Pitchers Promisinq
Four rookies have a chance to
make the pitching staff which
will be anchored around Mel
Parnell, the southpaw who broke
his arm last season and won only
three games against 21 the year
before.
The first year men Higgins
likes are Al Curtis, Ivan Delock,
Hershell Freeman and Al Sch
roll. The first three were with
Higgins at Louisville last sea
son, pther starters will be hold
overs Frank Sullivan (15-12),
Tom Brewer (10-9), Willard Nix
on (11-12) and Dick Bradow
ski, just out of military service
but rated a brilliant prospect
when he won five games for the
Red Sox in 1952.
'Other possibilities are Russ
Kemmerer (5-6), Leo Kiely (5
8), both with the Red Sox last
season, and Bob Smith, a 13
game winner at Shreveport. The
veterans Ellis Kinder (8-8) and
Sid Hudson (3-4), will head the
relief corps with Tom Hnrd, a
seven-game winner at Charles
ton also having a chance to stick
as a fireman.
eight are seniors. Knapp has
about 85 boys out for track al
together and is basing his hopes
for the future on the sopho
mores and a host of freshmen.
Among the lettermen are Don
Goyette, pole vaulter; Don Hub
bard, and Duane Goyette, quarr
ter-milers; George Juveland and
Oscar Willard, sprinters; Bob
Gray, broad jumper; Jack Lilly,
discuss tosser, and Bob Mason,
broad and high jumper. Others
are Richard Gustafson, miler;
Cliff Cordy, half-miler; Don Von
Euskirk, hurdler and high jump
er; Gene McGonagle, javelin
man; Lyle Yocum, shot putter;
and Bill Johnston, performer in
the high jump and with the dis
cus and shot.
Non-lettermen on the team
include Mel ' Harsh, hurdler;
Dick Davis, high jumper; Bob
Elden, Irvin Guss, John Greb
and Marvin Spradling, distance
men; Carl Koellner and LeRoy
Gillaspey, quarter-milers; Na
than Douthit and Dave Parker,
weight men; Cliff Bigham and
John German, hurdlers; Don
Breaveale, pole vaulter and
javelin thrower, and Steve Par-
rish and Larry Smith, javelin
men.
Boys expected to see service
but who are listed for no par
ticular event at present are
Dale Smith, Ernie Haverman,
Dave Byers, Ralph Simons and
The Comets, who won the JDJ
league meet last year, hope to

got and where we can use it.
Six Linemen Gone
"If we can find a tentative
first line team, get the funda
mentals down, and learn those
seven basic plays, I'll be satis
fied." Brennan had a problem in re
placements. He lost six of his
first line, two of his backs. The
returning lineman,, Ray Lemek,
