I THE DE IUXE LATEX WAll PAINT 1 fcS Rfc&'t VWI ' ' ' K1 1 shots, but it has some good basketball players.. Guard Denny Fizpatrick, termed by Newell the "finest perimeter shooter I've ever coached," averages 13.4 paints per game, hitting at a 45.5 per cent clip, mostly on 20 to 30 foot jump ers. Center Darrell Imhoff, at 6-10 the second tallest man in the tournament behind Louisville's 6-11 Fred Sawyer, averages about 11 points per game, but is so tough defen sively that part of the Bear strategy is to force opposing shooters into the pivot area where Imhoff can deal with them. The key man, however, is senior guard and captain Al Buch, a defensive rock who'll probably draw the job of shadowing Cincinnati's "Big O." The Pacific Coast confer ence hasn't won an NCAA title since Stanford did it behind Jim Pollard in 1942, but such fine teams as San Francisco's two-time winners and Seattle's Elgin Baylor - sparked run-ners-up of a year ago have served to remind that the Far West still plays good basketball.

Pittsburg Pirates Have Title Feeling This is the second disptach on the prospects of the major league teams for 1959. By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Fort Myers, Fla. (UPL the Pittsburgh Pirates have "that pennant feeling." Last year, in his first full season as manager, Danny Murtaugh aimed for the first division and wound up second, eight games behind Milwau kee. That represented a jump of five notches for the Pirates, who were seventh in 1957 the ninth year in a row they had finished in the second di vision. "We really started to jell last season," Murtaugh said. "Now we are aiming to jump just one more notch in the standings. My players are con fident we can do it, and so am I. We all have that pennant feeling. Murtaugh gambled and trad ed away his leading power hitter, Frank Thomas, to get what he felt the Pirates lacked in 1958 a left-handed start ing pitcher and a left-handed hitting catcher. He obtained Harvey Haddix, who was 8-7 with Cincinnati last year, and Smoky Burgess a .283 hitter with the Reds. Also in the deal, the Pirates obtained Don Hoak to take over rnomas tnira case chores. Improve Defense "We know we lost power, but with Hoak at third we im proved our defense and Had dix gives us the lefthanded pitching strength we lacked. And Burgess is not only valu able as a full time catcher, if need be, but also as a pinch-hitter. "Now we have to find a big bat to take over from Thomas." I'm looking for our first base men to supply that." The player he is looking at most is Dick Stuart, who can hit the ball a long way. He hit 16 homers in 67 games with the Pirates last season and drove in 48 runs. But he strikes out a lot. The only question in Murtaugh's mind is whether Stuart will drive in more runs with his bat than he will let in with his fieldings. He's no defensive genius. Should Stuart fall short, Murtaugh has Ted Kluszew ski, who this spring looks life the slugger he was with Cin cinnati before he came up with a back ailment two years ago. Kluszewski is swinging i freely for the first time since then and he thinks he can do the job. Then there is Rocky Nelson, who always has murdered the ball in the minors but never has made the grade in the ma- j jors. Back of them also is R. I C. Stevens, the best infielder j of the lot, but with a weaker ; bat. " ; Rest of Infield Set The rest of the infield is set with Bill Mazeroski at sec-; nrA TlifV rjrnat at chnrt and i Hoak at third. Mazeroski and Groat form one of the best second base combinations in the majors and most baseball men agree with Murtaugh when he says those key men can beat you more ways than any other shorstop-second base combination in the majors. If the Pirates have one weakness, it is in infield re serves. The veteran Gene Bak er, Dick Schofield, who was a disappointment with the Cardinals, and rookie Harry Bright, a .309 batter at Sacra mento in 1958, are the only ones who can back up Mazer oski, Groat and Hoak. Baker was hurt most of last season and it's a question whether he could play every day if something happened to any one of those three. In the outfield it will be Bob Skinner in left, Bill Vir don in center, Roberto Clem ente in right with Roman Majias back of them as the No. 1 utility gardener. High on Rookie Murtaugh wouldn't trade them for any four outfielders that any other club in the league has. He's also high on rookie Joe Christopher, who hit .327 at Salt Lake City last season. Hank Foiles will be the No. 1 catcher, but Burgess will be back of the plate a lot. Bill Hall, who looked so good with the Pirates last year when they brought him up from Salt Lake, and Danny Kravitz are fighting for the third-string catching berth. Murtagh figures on six start ing pitchers, leading off with his ace, Bob Friend, 22-game winner in 1958. Then comes Vernon Law (14-12), Ron Kline (13-16), George Witt (9-2), Curt Raydon (8-4) and Haddix. The Pirates expect great things of Witt. Rookie Bennie Daniels, who won 14 at Columbus in the International league last sea son, has a good chance of stick ing. Elroy Face, one of the best in the business, will be the relief specialist with southpaw Don Gross and the veteran Bob Porterfield also in the bullpen. Ron Blackburn and Bob Smith are other hurling possibilities. Reymers, Nuich Low Gross in Three-Ball Golf Mrs. Mahr Reymers and John Nuich had a 40 score for low gross honors last Sunday in a mixed three-ball sixsome golf match at Rogue Valley Country club. First low net with a 31 were Mrs.. Tom MacLeod and Lee Flink. Mrs. Maxine Hammond and Reese Alexander were second low gross with a 42.

Closest to the pin for women was Mrs. Pyle. Closest for high handicap men was Ed Gordon and for low handi cappers Jack Mitchell. Long drive prizes for low handicappers went to Pat Lynch and Mrs. Hammond and for high handicappers to Fred Conrad and Mrs. Russ Heysell. Entry totaled 39 couples.
