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

in a mixed three-ball sixsome
