Ex-Fresno
Star Enjoys
Cage Roll
Fresno. Calif. -UPD- Gary
Alcorn, Fresno State's star
center who has been drafted
by the Minneapolis Lakers,
enjoys being a spoiler on the
basketball court.
"We play a lot of zone de
fense which allows me to
bang loose under the other
team's basket and block their
shots," explains Gary, "I pre
fer keeping opponents from
sinkinz baskets even more
than scoring myself."
The 22-year-old senior ad
mits his six foot, nine inch
height is his biggest asset. He
can bat down quite a few
balls by jumping 11 feet, six
inches a foot and a half
hieher than the basket.
But being tall isn't enough
nowadays to be a good basket
ball player. Gary contends
"A hig fellow has to have
speed and endurance because
the game is getting faster and
faster" he says. "For in
stance, the small guy is al
ways trying to run and tire
me out but I'm in good
shape."
Lifts Weights
Gary keeps in condition by
constant practice from Sep
tember into March. He also
lifts weights and does a lot
of running in the first part of
the season.
Last summer he went
through a real toughening ses
sion, operating a jack hammer
and digging ditches.
"The main thing is your
legs," he says. "If they are
strong you can go in basket
ball."
While he believes defense is
getting more important in the
snort. Alcorn doesn t tninK
that high scoring games will
decrease as there are too
many good offensive players
around. However, he does
think the demand will in
crease for two-way men.
"If I can score more points
than the player I am guard
ing, I figure I am doing my
job," he explains. "I've scored
between 15 and 16 points per
game in the 16 we've had so
fat thi spawn which ISn t
bad for a defensive player."
Good Jump Shot
His best shot is a jump
anywhere inward from the
free throw line.
Alcorn will report to the
Lakers next Sept. 1 and in
tends to play AAU ball if he
doesn't make the grade in the
NBA.
A business administration
major, Gary plans to open a
sporting goods store after
hanging up his uniform for
good. However, it probably
will be some time before that
happens in view of his past
performances. During the
1956-57 season when Fresno
State was in the old Califor
nia Basketball association, he
led the loop by scoring 322
points and sinking 132 field
goals.
His fine defensive play,
mixed with steady offense,
has been a big factor in the
California Collegiate Athletic
association since Fresno came
into it.
Alcorn has a busy night
ahead on Friday night when
the second place Bulldogs
meet league-leading San Di
ego State, which is undefeat
ed in conference play.

Two Hurlers
Sign For Giants
San Francisco - (UPD - Jack
Sanford and Billy Muffett,
two right - handed pitchers
whom the San Francisco Gi
ants obtained after last sea
son, signed with the club to
day for the 1959 campaign.
Both had losing records
last year. Sanford, who was
a sensation with the Phillies
as a rookie in 1957, finished
with a 10-13 record the fol
lowing year while batting a
weight problem. Muffett was
4-6 in his second year at St.
Louis.
"I'm looking for Jack to
bounce back to his 1957 form
when he won 19 and lost
eight," Manager Bill Rigney
said recently. "He could work
250 innings."
Muffett shapes up as a late1
inning reliever. He came to
the club in exchange for hurl
ers Ernie Broglio and Marv
Grissom. The Phils got pitcher
Ruben Gomez and catcher
Valmy Thomas in the San
ford deal.
