By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press Sports Writer
Milwaukee is out in front for
the Grapefruit Circuit champion
ship, a title that's just a lot of
fruit juice to manager Fred Ha
ney, who would rather see his
men save something for Sep
tember. The Braves couldn't beat
Brooklyn last fall when it really
counted, but they clinched their
spring series with the Dodgers
by defeating them, 8-5, at Okla
homa City, Okla., Monday.
The Braves now have taken
six out of eight games from
Brooklyn this spring and they
lead all major league clubs with
an exhibition record of 13 vic
tories and eight defeats.

HE'S LIFTING MONEY FOR MONEY NOW Champion
weight lifter Paul Anderson, who won a gold medal and
the world's title at the Olympics in Australia, makes his
professional debut at the Mapes Hotel in Reno by lifting
15,000 silver dollars in these two boxes. Paul's act is billed
as the "$15,000 Challenge" with any weightlifter who
can duplicate the feat, walking off with the cash. Chal
lengers must first qualify by lifting a barbell that weighs
between 300 and 400-pounds. Anderson also lifts the
entire orchestra and bevy of chorus girls seated around
a carousel.

Accuracy, Drops Overall Scoring
During Past Collegiate Season
New York Field goal shoot
ing in college basketball during
the past season was the most
accurate ever, and yet overall
scoring underwent the most
marked recession in the 65-year
history of the sport.
How is this paradox ex
plained? By the ever-increasing
trend ,toward possession - style
basketball. Guided by the suc
cesses of San Francisco's two
time 1955 and 1956 national
champions and North Carolina's
top-ranked Tar Heels this year,
college teams held the ball for
the best shots more than they
ever had before.
Final official statistics re
leased today by the NCAA Serv
ice Bureau showed that 4,113
major college games this season
produced an average of 144
points per game, compared to
the all-time high of 146.5 for
1956.
While scoring decreased, field
goal and free throw shooting
accuracy went up, and for the
fifth straight season fewer fouls
were committed.
Fouls Average 36.5
Personal fouls averaged 36.5

Fast - breaking Connecticut

honor.
Ohio university was runnerup
in offense with 87.1 points per

Jacksonville, Fla. U.R
Casey Stengel cleared the decks
for action Tuesday by paring
three players from his squad and
then promptly predicted his Yan
kees will win the pennant again
"even though it won't be easy."
The players cut from' the
squad were pitcher Jim Depalo,
catcher John Blanchard and out
fielder Norm Siebern. All were
sent to Denver of the American

Before the Yankees left their
St. Petersburg, Fla., training
site Monday night, outfielder
Tony Kubek was named the
team's outstanding rookie of the
spring. '
In his final press conference
before starting north, Stengel
said, "I should win the pennant.
My pitching is better than ever,
but I still don't figure to win
as easy as most people think."
Behind the Yankees, Stengel
picked Cleveland, Chicago and
Detroit in that order. .
