Wooden Moans Shun of Naulls Los Angeles (U.R) UCLA Coach Johnny Wooden says his star center, Willie Naulls, may have been left off the 12-man Olympic basketball squad be cause the selections committee was afraid it was going to have too many West Coast players on the team." "It looks as if the committee was afraid it was going to have too many West Coast ball players represented on the team,'" Woo den told United Press. "I can not possibly see how they left Willie off the team." Naulls rated as one of the best players in the Pacific Coast con ference was named as an alter nate to the squad. Four of the players chosen for .the team were from California schools. The UCLA coach rated Naulls a better all around offensive player than San Francisco's Bill Russell. He, however, praised the All-America star as the greatest defensive performer he had ever seen. L nri rv inn NOW ON DISPLAY Come in . . . get the COLD FACTS about THE HOTTEST CAR!

Webfooter Nine Tops Willamette Eugene (U.R) University of Oregon defeated Willamette university 11-6 yesterday in a pre-season baseball game. It was the fourth win for Ore gon in four days. by Plymouth o ght C. Russ Meyer Goes Nine; Tips Orioles By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer An old Branch Rickey axiom is haunting the Brooklyn Dodg ers. When the old Mahatma was general manager of the Dodgers, he frequently contended that "The best deals are those you never make." And who could blame the Dodgers today if they were wish ing they had never traded Russ Meyer to the Chicago Cubs. Beset by pitching problems, the world champions must have cringed Thursday when they learned that Meyer became the first Cubs' pitcher to nine innings as he posted a r "nit, 16-4 victory over the E ;ore Orioles. Meyer walked only, two men and allowed but two earned runs in his route-going effort against the Orioles at Alpine, Tex. Erskine Gets It Carl Erskine got a rough go ing over by the Milwaukee Braves as the Dodgers dropped an 8-6 decision at New Orleans. The Brooks' right-hander was nicked for seven runs and 10 of Milwaukee's 11 hits in five innings. Larry Doby collected three hits that helped the White Sox to a 10-7 victory at Albany, Ga. It was only the third defeat in the last 15 games for the Card inals, the Grapefruit League leaders. At Corpus Christi, Tex., Herb Score allowed only two hits and fanned seven in five innings as the Cleveland Indians handed the New York Giants their second straight 2-0 shutout. Johnny Temple's one-out sin gle in the ninth inning scored the winning run as the Cicinnati Redlegs ipped the Washington Senators, 4-3, at Fort Gordon, Ga., while Dick Littlefield al lowed only two hits during an eight-inning stint in pitching the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 6-1 tri umph over the Kansas City Ath letics. Tax Lien Filed Aqainst Louis Chicago (U.R) The Intern al Revenue Service yesterday filed another tax lien against former boxing champ Joe Louis It was the seventh lien to be filed against the one time heavy weight titleholder and showed that the fighter owes $4,380 in income taxes for 1953.

By CARL LUNDQUIST Douglas, 'Ariz. (U.R) Neither the nights nor the days are long enough this spring for field Manager-general Manager Paul Richards of the Baltimore Orioles, who has just too much to accomplish trying to get a decent ball club into the Ameri can League race. Except for slick fielding Willie Miranda at shortstop and Gus Triandos who will play every day, either as a first baseman or a catcher,, no one knows for sure who will be in the lineup. Triandos, the team's best hit ter who has a $200,000 price tag, will be the catcher on days when there is a right-handed pitcher opposing Baltimore. That means lefty swingers Bob Hale or Boby Boyd, goods batsmen but mediocre fielders, will be at first. Richards wants Bobby Adams at second but that's a mystery because years ago Adams was moved to third with the Redlegs because he couldn't make the double play well. However, it is likely that Fred Marsh will be moved over to the keystone later, although he's at third right now. Experimenting AH spring Richards has been experimenting at third. He brought in switch-hitting out fielder Dave Philley to play the bag and even had center fielder Chuck Diering there. And bonus player Wayne Causey originally was the regular - "hot corner" man. The idea is to pack more power in the lineup and ,that could be done with Philley at third and with Jim Dyck, Dave Pope, Dier ing or hot rookie Vito Francona in the outfield. AH except Dier ing are better than average hit ters. He also will give the bonus outfielders, Bob Nelson and Jim Pyburn a chance to play.

He has named as his four big starters Jim Wilson, Ray Moore, Ere Palica, and lefty Bill Wight, all veterans from other major league clubs. The relief experts, George Zuverink and Harry Dorish, also are veterans and a young lefty, Fred Besana, who Richard says "can go in there and get out those lefty batters" will stick as a bullpen aide. Catching is a bright spot be cause Triandos takes care of the job more than adequately when he is back there and young Hal Smith also is developing into a talented receiver.
