TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Outlook 'Pesky' For Bevos GLENDALE, Calif. (UP) Down through the years Portland has fielded a team that has proved troublesome to the Pacific Coast League leaders and there's every indication Uie Beavers will be Just as pesky this year. Tommy Holmes moved in from Tort Worth as manager after Clay Hopper took the Hollywood pos, and tl-i. .met Boston Braves star says he soing to do his best to give Portland a first division club. From all I can see and from what I've heard, the league is going to be stronger this year," said the energetic Holmes as he put his Bevos through their paces at Casey Stengel Field. "But I'm going all-out to try and make this team a first division squad." VETERANS Portland is loaded with veterans who could get off to a fast start while Holmes is seeking1 the help he says he needs, chiefly in the outfield. But it will be a while before he can expect much from Brooklyn which first has to help Montreal and St. Paul before it gets around to Portland. "Our veterans are all digging in and showing good enthusiasm," Holmes said. "And I'm hopeful we can get the help we need." The pitching staff is headed by Bill V.'erle, who last year com piled a 17-8 record. He's backed by such other veterans as Red Adams, Bob Alexander. Bob Hall. Royce Lint and Dick Walbel. The Beavers have acquired Ray Shore from Toronto for relied duty. And Holmes expects Rene Valdes. for merly with St. Paul, to prove a sleeper. But he needs three or four more hurlers. PROSPECT ' Back of the plate Holmes has Ron Bottler, Sam Calderone aiid John Roseboro, a Brooklyn farm hand whom Tommy Holmes thinks could be the best catching pros pect in the league. The Beavers have a well bal anced infield that could set the pace for the loop In double plays. It fentures Ed Mickelson at first. Ed Basinski or Artie Wilson at second, Frank Austin or Jack Littrell at shortstop and Jim Baxes at third. In the outfield, the Beavers can open with major league veteran Lloyd Merriman, Luis Marquez and Jim Coranda. Holmes had the latter at Fort Worth and considers him a comer. But unless help comes through in the outfield and on the mound, Holmes' team may bog down. "I'm getting the finest support I've had since I've been In base ball, and we'll be a hustling club that should please the Portland fans," Holmes concluded. 5 Favorites Advance In AAU Tourney DENVER im Five favorites advanced in the first round of the National AAU Basketball Tourna ment Monday, but the upsets tra ditional with the power-laden meet loomed Tuesday for 10 more un seeded teams making their tour ney debut.

SAMSONITE OVERNIGHT BAG VALUED Crown On Line SAN FRANCISCO i.fl Only two teams ever have won two straight NCAA basketball championships, but the University of San Fran cisco Dons figure to become No. 3 on Friday night. The Dons, who will board an air plane Tuesday night for Evansion, 111., and defense of their cage crown starling Thursday night, are confident they can siretcn their successive game winning streak to 55 straight at the expense of Southern Methodist and either Io wa or Temple and repeat their 1955 triumph in the process. "I don't need any psychology gimmicks to work on this crew," said Coach Phil W o o 1 p e r t. "They're used to winning. Let me put it like this: We're the defend ing champions until we lose and we've been winning for a long time." The "long time" goes back to December, 1954, when the Dons dropped a seven-point decision to UCLA. They're beaten every one else they've faced since then, in cluding the Uclans three times, while racking up 53 straight tri umphs, In the process, over a two-season span, they've stamped them selves as the best defensive team in the nation and have been tao bed No. 1 In The Associated Press poll both years. Oklahoma A&M in 1945 and 1946 and Kentucky in 1948 and 1949 are the only schools ever to repeat as NCAA champions. Last year at Kansas City. LaSalle was trounced 77-63, by USF as it tried unsuc cessfully to defend its 1954 cham pionship. The confidence of the Dons in their ability was echoed by Pete Newell, University of California coach "The Dons are a team without a weakness that you can strike at," said Newell. "That's the test of greatness. They're a team, not a bunch of five good Individuals."

The 23-year-old miner's son from Witherbee, N.Y., arrived at the Biiinbridge Naval Training Center about 11:30 p.m. Monday night fol lowing Induction in New York. Along with other recruits, he went through about 2li hours of processing. One of his first chores was to fill In 26 government forms. About 2 a.m. he made his bed and 'made a hasty entry only to Jump right out again. "It's too soft," he told Pete Sam Dcmeter, CSC, duty chief of the recruiting unit. "Do you have a board I could put under the mat tress?" Demeter said he didn't, but sug gested Podres could sleep on a nearby wooden table If lie desired. Johnny accepted the Invitation. He put his mattress and bed clothes atop the table and climbed in for his first Navy snooze. It was a short one, though, because he was up again at 4 a.m. for more processing. Podres, who beat the New York Yankees twice in last fall's series, had previously been rejected for military service because of a back ailment. He said he had been used to sleeping on a board.

Wl Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mtzell, the pitcher the St. Louis Cardinals are relying on to boost them inta the first division, is well aware of the mounting pressure but It he s worried he doesn't show It The tall, gangling southbaw nrebailer can t help but know what is expected of him. He's reminded of it by practically every visiting reporter. Frank Lane says the club Is counting a great deal on your com ing through," a man tells him. Does all that pressure bother you?" 'No, sir," says Mizell. "Fred Hutchinson says vou ought to win 20. What do you think?" "I'd like to win SO," he replies, 'but I'll settle for every victory get." That's the pattern of almost every Interview. The easy-going country boy from vinegar Bend ma., listens to all questions re spectfully and replies to them good-naturedly. "I don't mind the questions," he said in his slow, Southern drawl. The boys don t mean no harm. All I can say though is that I hope to live up to all those expectations. Hut 1 Pon t pay no mind to all this talk about me. It don't bother me one bit. The way I see it is this way. Either I either got It or I ain't. And I know I'm a better pitcher now that I was before went Into service." Wlldness was Mlzell's biggest handicap before he left the Cards tor the Army In 1S54. Despite that he won 23 and lost 19 over a two- year span. Most of his time at Ft. McPherson was spent practicing control. "I worked on' my eontrol every chance I got," he said. "And I also came up with a pretty good curve ball, something I didn't have before. I can throw It over the plate about soven out of every 10 pitches. .And I'm as fast as ever."

WEEPING Brooklyn, despite all the prema ture weeping anent advancing age, still stands In a National League class by itself. Composing the second division are Milwaukee, which still lacks the needed fire; St. Louis, which discovers that everything with big ears Isn't a pitcher; the lacking Phillies; the pitch poor Redlegs and the Giants, great in "Mays" but short come Septembers. In the 'third" division, Just a sacrifice bunt above the Interna tional League, are the Cubs and Pirates.
