Stock Cars Waiting For Economy Run LOS ANGELES w Twenty two stock automobiles have been entered in this year's Mobilgas Economy Hun from here to Colo rado Springs, Colo., and for the first time &U will have automatic transmissions. In announcing the entry list for the four-day event starting March 19, Mobilgas said Monday the auto matic transmissions are mandatory because most 1956 automobile mod els are so equipped. Hardtops are permitted for the first time the company said, be cause this style has superseded the four-door sedan in popularity. The car attaining the highest ton-miles per gallon, regardless of price, will be awarded the sweepstakes award. Ton-mile fig ures are the result of multiplying the distance traveled by the weight of the car and occupants, and di viding that by the number of gal lons of fuel consumed. This is the sixth postwar run. The territory to be covered is ap proximately '1,500 miles. Just Arrived!

Gardner, who last week won his 10th title in 20 years of coaching when his Utah Redskins won the Skyline Conference crown, Isn't keeping it a secret that he wants another crack at top ranked San Francisco. It's the same San Francisco squad that spoiled Utah's bid for national honors last year and put the only blot on the Redskin record which stood at ' 24-4, the best in the school s history. Last year Utah went to the Western Regional NCAA playoffs in Corvalls. Ore., and the highly regarded Utes folded completely iii losing 19-68 to big Bill Russell and company. Once again Utah goes to Cor vallis, and once again the Dons stand between them and the re gional championship. Last year's debacle is still firmly bedded in the minds of Gardner and his club and they vow the same thins won't happen again. On the basis of Gardner's past coaching record, this should be the year for the Utes, based on Gard ner's time-table of winnine some kind of championship every other year. Utah, which won its 28th straight home-floor game against Wyoming Saurday, carries a 22-4 record into the Corvallis tourney. Utah plays the winner of the Idaho State-Seattle University con test in the first round of the meet. San Francisco will play UCLA in the other opening round game. New Portland Manager See Flag Chances GLENDALE. Calif. W Although he never hes seen a Pacific Coast League baseball game, manager Tommy Holmes of Portland fig ures on a winner in his first year at the helm. "Everybody's starting from scratch on the Portland team this year," Tommy raid as his players held their first spring training drill Monday at Casey Stengel Field. "I've heard plenty about the double play combination of Artie Wilson and Frankie Austin, but they'll have to show me they are better than Dick Young and Jack Liitrell of our new crop. And I think it will take some doing to beat Jim Bases out of a third base job and chase lloyd Mcrri man out of centerfield." Holmes said he thought Bases would hit very well in Portland, with its short left field and that he was "amazed that thev let Merriman out if the majors amazed, but mighty happy, for I've always been high on him." Only batternien were due in camp Monday but rookie infielder Bill Eastburn reported, and Gene Jacobs, former Ear Diego outfield er, came up lor a tryout, Royce Lint, veteran southpaw, reported 15 pounds lishter than last year and said: "I'm ready to win 20 games." He hurled 23 victories for the Beavers in 1953 while losing in and was used sparingly by St. Louis' Cardinals before he returned to win nine and lose 10 for Portland last year.

The Brooklyn Dodgers stand to lose their World Series sensation Johnny Podres to the draft this month but they were cheered by the excellent pertormances of Carl Erskine and Billy Loes in batting practice stints. For Loes it was the first time he has thrown hart oil spring. Don Neweembe pitched for 15 minutes despite a blister on his thumb and it was hoped the sore ness to his arm which plagued mm at World Series time has dis appeared.

But Arizin, former scoring cham pion from the Philadelphia War riors, sliced a whopping 43 points irom returs scoring lead during the past week and now stands only 32 points behind with 1,571.

In rebounds, Pettit was more se scure against Stokes of the Roch ester Royals, Pettit has otllv a 12 rebound lead with 1,054 to Stokes' 1.042. but Stokes has only three games left.

Neil Johnston of the Warriors still tops Held goals with a .458 shooting average Wit is closely trailed by Larry Foust of Fort Wayne with .452 and Bill Sharman of Boston with .451. Sharman, three-time winner of the free throw title, holds a thin lead again with an .861 average to .857 for Adoiph Schayes and .Hfi for Dirk Schnittker of Minneapolis, Bob Cousy of Boston has clinched his fourth straight assists title, now having 591 to fop the record of 557 he set last year.
