Screwy Play Needed
To Stop USF's Dons
By JIMMY BRF.SLIN
NEA Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK (NEA) Bill Rus
sell and the San Francisco Dons
provoked one of the best basket
ball arguments In some time with
the overpowering show they put on
for Chicago and New York basket
ball fans during the holiday tourna
ments. The argument was not about how
good Russell Is. The point was
how the Job of beating the Dons
could be approached.
San Francisco, you see, sillies
the opposition with a tremendous
live-man defensive setup, n.. v.
Jones, Harold Pony and company
constantly picked up tne Dan-nano
ler at mldcourt. From there on
it was a scramble to control the
ball against the Dons. Two defend
era always seemed to get on the
man with the ball, completely Dis
rupting any smooth play-making In
backcourt.
On the surface, It seemed the
Dons, as a unit, comprised the
finest defensive team to show In
many years.
Jones acknowledged this, but of
fered an explanation.
"It Isn't us so much it's Rus
sell," he said. "You see, we can
afford to gamble leave one man
to chase another because we know
Russell Is back there and he can
pick up anybody who gets in free.
"That gives us an edge. We can
really do a gang-up Job on the
man with the ball outside. And we
know we've got a backstop if any
thing goes wrong."
"I don't see how a college team
can beat them," Dudey Moore of
Duquesne said. "Defensively they
ruin you. Russell Is too much for
anybody around. It would take
some screwy offense to handle
them.
The screwy offense business
brought the most response. Oldtlnv
era recalled how teams of the past
coped with overpowering situations.
The first of the modern big men,
Mike Novak of Chicago Loyola, a
6-9 giant of the mld-30's, was
stopped by a stunt pulled by Clair
Bee of Long Island University. No
vak was operating when goal-tending
was legal and even a high set
shot was hard-pressed to get past
him.
Bee had Danny Kaplowitz spend
a week In the old Brooklyn Phar
macy Gymnasium practicing bank
ed set shots from the side.
"Danny," recalls teammate Dol
ly King, "must have taken 100
shots a day from one part of the
court. He'd send the ball against
the very edge of the backboard.
It had a ton of English on It. It
would hit then run right down the
board Into the hoop. It was Impos
sible to block."
Kaplowltz, with this queer shot,
had a hot night and LIU ruined
Novak and Loyola.
You have Doc Carlson's way oi
handling Penn State's zone, some
five years ago. The Pittsburgh
coach, disdainful of the zone Penn
Slate used In its crackcrbox gym,
ordqred his club to advance to mid-
court, men simply noia uie Dan.
"It was 3-2 at the half," Has
kell Cohen of the National Basket
ball Association recalls.
Tommy Tolan, the old Brooklyn
St. John's captain, thought about
his team's 1948 victory over a far
superior City College of New York
club.
"We had no chance against their
speed, so Dick McOuire and I put
on a 40-mlnutc freeze at mid'
court," Tolan recalls. "We shot only
when the referee called a foul or
we had an open hanger. Other
wise, Dick and I kept it outside
and gave it to nobody. It was bor
ing to, watch and nobody scored
much, but we won by three points."
Rhode Island State's slyle
that's what I'd use," Johnny Bach,
the Fordham coach, said. "They
had no height, so when they came
Into New York for the first time
in 1941, they left a man hanging
In each corner. They'd get the ball.
throw it like a football downcourt
and then everybody would start
running and shooting.
"That introduced high scoring in
to the modern game."

NEW YORK (UP) There are
indications today that Uie clock Is
ticking a requiem for Stan Mu-
slai's hopes of matching Honus
Wagner's record eight national
league batting championships.
"The man" still should rank In
1956 as one of the reolly great hit
ters. Even though he will be play
ing his 15th season in Cardinal
livery, and It has been 19 years
since he broke into organized base
ball, Musfal still is Uie league's top
salaried star.
But Uie signs ore that the six-
time batting champion may not.
even match Roger Homsby's
seven titles.
Not that, at 36, Stan is through
or even shows signs pf being
washed up. The odds are that with
his eyes and reflexes he'll be able
to bust .300 when he's pressing
45. Yet, os in football, It's those
last 20 points like the final 20
yards which are the toughest,
And there is another factor.
In 1955, Stan was struck by more
pitched balls than any other Na
tional League hitter.. In Ihe years
Dciorc, it was a roiitv when he
was hit because they tiled to keep
it outsmc and away from him.
The obvious deduction is that now,
while Uiey still have a vast respect
for his hitting, Uiey are taking ad
vantage of a slipping something
to brush him back and"work on
him."
This is a man whose lifetime bat
ting overage Is a phenomenal .342.
He won batting titles with some
lavish marks. Including a .376 sea
son. But in the past three seasons
his marks have dropped from .337
to .330 to .318.
Sure, most any oilier hitter in
the league aside from the two who
bested him last season namely
Richie Ashburn and Willie Mays
would be glad to do so good. Yet
for a telling Uiree-year span the
old heights have eluded him and
last year's average was his lowest
since a near-bursting appendix cut
him to .312 in 1947.
Six years ago. Stan began look
lug downhill toward the end of
the line when he predicted "I've
four or five good seasons left."
It showed on his mind in 1953
when he whistled ot the graveyard
by asserting that "age is not as
Important as condition." And last
spring he figured that "I should
have three more good years."
That, as of now, leaves two com
ing up in which, he asserted,' "I'm
rolling along, hoping for the best
It was significant, one day last
summer wnen lie was in the batting
cage at Uie Polo Grounds. The

drive.
"Ah.!' he gloated, "that's the
way I used to hit 'em."
He still may do it, too, If the Car
dinals go through with their plan
to play him in the outfield and
use Wally Moon at first. But such
plans, which would permit Stan to
give more thought to his hitting,
have been frustrated almost annu

Meanwhile, you find yourself

Lome (Gump) Worsley. New
York's harried goalie, staved off
a forced "rest" by Coach Phil
Watson today ' because of a fine
effort Sunday night against the
Chicago Black Hawks, the Rang
ers' "Jinx" team in Uie National
Hockey League.
Watson, fearing Worsley was
"getting a little shell shocked,"
hod plonned to bring up Johnny
Bower from the Providence Reds
of the Amerlcon League in order
to give Worsley a "rest."
Worsley, who has been one of
the shining stars in New York's
rejuvenation this season, hung up
his fourth shutout, 2-0, against the
Hawks and more than likely
earned a reprieve. Pete Conacher
and Dave Creighton scored the
goals as New York broke a three
game losing-streak with Chicago.
Earl (Dutch) Relbel scored two
third-period goals to enable the
redhot Detroit Red Wings to down
the league-leading Montreal Cana
diens, 2-0. The win moved Detroit
to within 10 points of the Cana
diens, whose lead over the Rang
ers now stands at seven points.
The Toronto Maple Leafs re
gained full possession of fourth
place by defeating the last - place
Boston Bruins. 4-1, in Sunday's
otner gome. Rudy Migoy, Dick
Duff, Tod Sloan and Ron Stewart
scored for Uie Leafs, while Don
McKenney scored Boston's lone
goal.
Naulls 24 Saturday night as UCLA
romped to a 95-70 victory over
Washington State. Taft and Naulls
also were heavy scorers in Fri
day night's 86-72 victory over WSC.
UCLA's sweep at PuUman made
it four straight in conference ploy
for Uie Bruin's and left them at
the top of the standings.
Stanford took two from Idaho,
winning 77-60 Friday and 74-62 Sat
urday, and settled in a second
place tie with Southern California
both with 3-1 records. The Trojans
beat Oregon State twice, 58-47 and
B4-53. California and Oregon di
vided a pair, the Ducks winning
63-62 Friday and losing 67-65 Sat
urday.
UCLA draws a bye next weekend
while Washington, idle Friday and
Saturday, returns to action as host
to Washington State. Oregon State
entertains Stanford and Oregon
visits Idaho.
While outclassed by a more ex
perienced quintet, Washington
State's young Cougars gave a good
account of themselves in the finale
at Pullman Saturday. The lead
changed 12 times in the first half.
UCLA pulled away to a 46-41 lead
at the Intermission and the Cou
gars never caught up.
At Eugene, Oregon blew a 12-
point lead to give California a split
in the series. The Golden Bears
pulled up to a 65-65 tie with only
seconds remaining. Larry Friend
grabbed a loose ball and dunked
it and time ran out before the
Ducks could try to retaliate. Ore
gon center Max Anderson took
scoring honors with 26 points.
Southern California and Oregon
State played on even terms for
the first half at Los Angeles. The
Trojans moved in front with eight
minutes of the half remaining, led
36-31 at the intermission, and grad
ually widened the gap in the sec
ond period.
Stanford scored 14 points In the

to make it two straight over the
Vandals. Idaho's Jack Mitchell was
top scorer with 28 points. 3H'

Coach Sid Oillman of the West,

Mike Wilson, superintendent ot

The ruling meant that Scudero

Gillman added that movies of

Golf Tiff
PEBBLE .BEACH, Calif. (UP)
Dr. Cary Middlecoff used a "float
ing putt" in shooting the best round
of golf "in my life" in winning
the Bine Crosby $15,000 clambake
for the second consecutive year.
Middlecoff walked off with first
prize of $25,000 and set a new
tourney record Sunday with his
three-round score of 202 as he used
an old-fashioned hickory shaft put
ter in "iioaung" long putts across
the rain flooded greens.
Going into the last round in a
first place deadlock with crewcut
Bob Rosburg of San Francisco,
Middlecoff started slow over the
water-logged course and made the
turn in only one under par.
But then he began to hit his
stride. On the 10th he dropped a
15-footer for a bird and followed
it with a 12-footer for another bird
on the 11th and a 14-footer for a
third bird on the 14th.
Middlecoff's total made up of
rounds of 66-68-66 bested the old
record of 204 set toy Lloyd Man
grum in 1953.
While Middlecoff was winning
f-he medal play as he pleased.

weight Tony Johnson of New York
is favored at 11-5 to beat England's
Johnny Sullivan, former British
middleweight champion, tonight In
their TV 10-rounder at St. Nicholas
Arena.
Johnson,, heavier and stronger
than Sullivan, was impressive in
his last bout on Nov. 28, when he
knocked out Billy McNeece in Uie
eighth round. Earlier last year,
McNeece had held him to a draw.
Greek Tony was less fortunate
in his other two bouts of 1955.
He was stopped in the fifth round,
by Padding Young and outpointed
by Willie Pastrano of New Or
leans. Twenty-five-year old Tony's
23-6-8 record includes eight kayoes.
He was stopped only by Young.

than Johnson but he has beep
fighting longer and more often. He
is faster than Tony and a smarter
boxer. He looked good on Jan. 4
at Cleveland, where he outpointed
the promising Jackie King.

four bouts and lost four. There
are two kayoes against his record
of 63-17-3, including 34 knockouts.
