    Durocher
Loses 1st
Argument
Br FRED DOWN
United Press International
Baseball's spring training
season is official - Leo Duro-
cher lost hi first argument
with an umpire.
It was only the Los An
geles Dodgers' first Intra-
squad game Sunday but there
was Leo, back in harness after
five years, managing one of
- the squads from the third base
coaching box - and up to an
old trick.
In familiar fashion Leo
began to dub out the white
lines marking the coaching
box and then wander along
the third base line at will.
Over the years the ex-Brook-
- lyn and New York Giant pilot
has pulled the same trick de
fying countless umpires in an
i. effort to steal a sign or gain
some other advantage.
Umpire Thumbs Leo
Plate Umpire Jim Duncan
Is slated to do his umpiring
in the Class D Midwest league
this year but the fellows
who'll be playing in it might
just as well understand here
and now that they're not go
ing to get away with any-
thing. The rules state that the
coach must remain within the
limits of his prescribed area
and the umpire is supposed
.to enforce the rules.
. Duncan warned Durocher.
No dice. He warned him again.
: Still no dice. And so, with
further ado, the Class D um
pire swept up his right arm
with thumb skyward end
bounced a guy who' defied
umpires, commissioners and
. players for 30 years out of
the game! v

Bucks Get Perfect Score
New York-flMMVlighty Ohio
State, rolling along on a 27
game victory streak, chalked
up another perfect score today
in the weekly United Press
International major college
basketball ratings.
The bouncy Buckeyes were
the unanimous No. 1 choice of
all 35 members of the UPI
Board of Coaches for the fifth
time this season. They have
held first place since the start
of the campaign and appear in
no danger of slipping from
their pinnacle in the closing
weeks of the Season.

this Week's voting when St.
Bonaventure, which picked up
two first place votes last week
to prevent the Buckeyes from
gaining another clean sweeo,
dropped an 87-77 verdict to
Niagara last Saturday night.
It was the Bonnles' first de
feat on their home court in

Mantle To
Be Leader
Of Yankees
By FRED DOWN
United Press International
Mickey Mantle responded
to manager Ralph Houk's call
to leadership in characteristic
style with a few soft words
and a pair of "loud" homers.
Houk suggested Sunday that
Mantle could assume the field
lep-'hlp of the New York
Y : in a quiet style siml
k . Joe DIMaggio ' '. his
heyuey. Despite his admitted
brilliance, Mantle never has
assumed the kind of leader
ship to which Houk referred.
"If Ralph thinks I can do
it, then I'll certainly do all
I can," Mickey said Monday
when he started to train two
days ahead of schedule. "I'm
ready to do anything I can
to help the club and if Ralph
thinks I can do something
along those lines I'm very
happy to do it."
Then Mantle stepped into
the batter's box and showed
what he really does naturally
-hit. Batting right-handed
against the lefthanded offer
ings of Danny McDevitt and
Whltey Ford, he rocketed two
400-plus drives over the center
field fence at St. Petersburg,
Fla.
Burdette Signs
The appearances of Lew
Burdette and Mike Fornieles
provided the big news in the
camps of the Milwaukee
Braves and the Boston Red
Sox, respectively, as teams
began to speed up their work
outs. Burdette, a 19-game winner
last season, agreed to terms
estimated at close to $40,000
after a brief conference with
general manager Johnny Mc
Hale. He and perrenial. 20-
game winner Warren Spahn
are counted upon again this
year to head the Braves'
pitching staff.
Fornieles, who appeared in
70 games for the Red Sox
last year, arrived at their
Scottsdale, Arit., camp in ex
cellent shape after having
pitched in the Cuban winter
league.
The Baltimore Orioles ex
perienced a scare when bonus
baby Dave Nicholson was
struck on the head by a fast
ball thrown by' Wes Stock.
Nicholson was taken by ambu
lance to Doctors Hospital in
Coral Gables, Fla., where X-
rays revealed no fracture. He
was detained overnight but
Is expected to resume train
ing within a few days.

Chamberlain Needs 6 Points To
Break Individual
By United Prees International
Towering Wilt Chamber
lain needs only six points to
break his own National Bas
ketball association seasonal
individual scoring record of
2,707 polnts-which he should
do without trouble tonight.
Wilt the Stilt smashed his
own seasonal rebound record
of 1941 Monday night by
snagging 29 rebounds against
the Los Angeles Lakers in Los
Angeles to give him' a new
total of 1,943, and the Phila

win.
Kentucky
Looking To
Playoffs
United Press International
Kentucky may sneak into
a post-season playoff berth
through the back door and
then disrupt the proceedings
by winning its fifth NCAA
basketball championship.
Wildcat coach Adolph Rupp
has a talent for winning he
has recorded 642 victories in
more than 30 years. Although
Kentucky was off to a so-so
start this season, the "Man
in the Brown Suit" has ral
lied his team to its present
16-7 record.
Kentucky was shut out of
the title gate when Missis
sippi State clinched the
South eastern Conference
championship with a 62-57
win over Tulane Monday
night. The Wildcats, however,
have their hopes up because
Mississippi State won't play
in the NCAA for segregation
reasons.
The Ruppmen maintained
a tie for second place in the
SEC with a 77-51 verdict over
Auburn. Their eight straight
triumph enabled them to
keep pace with Vanderbilt at
9-4 in the standings. The
Vandy's marched through
Georgia, 87-76.
Wrecks Florida Chances
Florida, which had been in
a three-way tie for the runner-up
position, was wrecked
by Georgia Tech, 52-50.
Kansas State won the Big
Eight spot in the NCAA re
gional playoffs with a 77-67
victory over Nebraska. The
fifth-ranked Wildcats put to
gether six successful free
throws in the last two arid
one half minutes after Ne
braska had closed to 71-67. '
Rice stalled Texas Tech's
bid for its first Southwest
Conference championship in
overtime, 95-91. . A driving
layup of Rice substitute for
ward Steve Smith in the last
10 seconds of regulation time
tied te score at 80-all. The
Owls hit on 30.7 of their field
goal attempts, while holding
Tech to 44.6 per cent.
Eighth-ranked Iowa took
over second place in the Big
Ten conference as the Hawk
eyes defeated Purdue, 73-62,
in a rough game that had 60
violations called. Iowa has
won five of six games since
four of its starters were ruled
ineligible because of poor
grades. The only setback was
a one-pointed to top-ranked
Ohio State, which can clinch
the title Saturday against
Michigan State.
Terry Dlschlnger of Pur
due, . the Big Ten's , leading
scorer, netted 35 points.

after the latest workouts. "It's
just amazing the way these

Champ Favored
Although each was victor
ious in one of their three pre
vious bouts and although they
fought to a draw in their
latest encounter at Los An
geles last Dec. 3, Fullmer Is
favored at 9-5 to win Satur

try to force a fight with Paul
