His L.A. State team beat an alumni group Tuesday, 123-109. The reason for the high score is found In the players being allowed to shoot tor either basket. The only restriction was that they cross the ceater line 10 seconds after getting the ball. A 5 foot, 7 inch player, Emillo Oonzales, scored 33 points. There were only 14 fouls called. Elliott says, this reform would spell the doont of the "goons," the towering giants who are fed the ball for setup shots, and would curtail the activities of the whistle blowing officials. I STAG JACKETS JIMMY CARTER ... 3-1 favorite DeMarco Predicts Victory By MURRAY ROSE 1 GREENWOOD LAKE, N. Y. lift- Paddy DeMarco, a confident chal lenger, is just hoping that light weight champion Jimmy Carter will try to run up his knockout record in title fights. Carter has won his last three championship contests by knock outs and is a 3-1 favorlteito whip DeMarco in Madison Square Gar den Friday night In their 15-round title fight. SLOW "He's slow moving and he aims to knock you out with his right," said the 26-year-old Brooklyn bat tler as he finished his hard drills for the title scrap. "I like those guys who are out to get you with rights. I can get in there and bang to the body. "He'll get hit by right hands, straight jabs, rights to the body, left hooks every kind of a punch. You know what this chance means to me. You know I've been looking forward to It a long time. - "I can beat him. I've seen him." It was pointed out that Paddy had scored only seven knockouts in 80 fights and never had gone more than 10 rounds. Did he think he could go the 15 and outpoint me cnampv SLIM "I know the chances are slim that I'll knock him out,'' be re plied, "and that I'll have to go 16. Okay, I'll go 16. What's so hard about that? Many a time I've gone 10 and felt real fresh. I knew I could have gone 15 just as eas ily." Paddy realizes that this is prob- aoiy nis last cnance ior a title shot. A real demon for work, he's trained harder than ever for the title fight. He's been here more than a month and can run the hills around here blindfolded.

Fla. M Paul Richards and his new infield coach, Marty Marlon, were deep in conversation durine n sandwich break at the new training grounds of the Chi cago White Sox on this city's out skirts. Their topic was Nellie Fox, the club's standout young second baseman. , "I've found out what It Is he's doing wrong," said Marlon happily. "On the double play he's going clear across the bag before ho starts to get rid of the ball. I've explained to him that he's waiting. start throwing before he even gels to the bag. It'll be an easy job to straighten him out. The Sox manager chewed mood ily for some moments before com' mentlng on Marlon's discovery. "I hope you're right," he said finally. "He sure needs to get the ball away quicker, because he hasn't got the best arm in th: world. It's your job to teach him. STRANGE Iu view of Fox's high standing among big league second base- mn, this reporter found It strange to learn that he nnd achieved star dotn despite such a weakness. "He hasn't bad it all the time," Richards suld. "Sometimes ball players just forget how to do things and get Into bad habits, the fame as a golfer does. Our biggest job is to see wnat he's doing wrong and correct it before any damage is done. As a matter of fact, Fox had to be taught an awful lot after he came up. He was one of the worst looking ball players I ever saw. 1 didn't think he ever, would maku it up here, but when you look at jhim now you're seeing one of the oest. ' PROBLEM Richards was asked what he ex peeled to do about his third-base problem the one that his rlvnl manager, Casey Stengel of the Yanks, kept mentioning during the off-season, Richards looked glum. as usual. Well," he said, "my third base man probably will be either Cass Michaels or Minnie - Minoso, or maybe Fox. I think Michaels played only second for the Athlet ics last year, but I'm aura he can play third." From this one gathered that the Whito Sox third-base situation still is very fluid. This is not a happy circumstance when a club is try. Ing to overhaul the Yanks. Did Rlobards see any real hope of add ing batting power? . MIGHT HELP "This BUI Wilson might help us," tne manager said. "He nit 34 home runs for Memphis last year. He got in only 113 games site'.' coming out ot tne service. He takes a good cut at the ball.1 Very Interesting, and did Rich ards have a feeling that the Yan kees nilfrht have given away en tirely . too much when they let pitcher Vic Ranch! go to the 'St. Louis Cardinals? Richards gave It a good, long thought. "I sure hope so," he said. "1 sure hope they did."
