The shot I say is my best is a jump snot moving behind a pick. Most of the points I've scored at aanta Clara and with the Knicker bockers came out of this move. I like to move behind a guard (No. 2) and let him provide the screen. If his man fights through or there is a switch, then I'll have a small man on me. On this play I prefer to get the bail on a pass (No. l) alter move behind the pick. If the man guarding me gets through the screen, I double back and go for the basket without the ball hoping to be clear for a lay' up. Elgin Baylor Begins To Pull Away In Score Competition By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Elgin Baylor of Seattle Univer sity has begun to pull away from the field in bis drive to repeat as collegiate basketball scoring champion of the Pacific North west. Through Saturday Baylor had raised his total for the season to 408 points and was 38 ahead of his closest competitor, David Gardner of Northwest Nazarene. On a basis of per-game produc tion Baylor was even farther in front. His average was 29.1 com pared with 23.26 for Chuck Cur tis of Pacific Lutheran and 23.25 for Gardner. Curtis was third on the scoring ladder with 349 points, closely fol lowed by Gary Simmons of Idaho with 344 and Doug bmart of Wash ington with 340. Two other players were above 300, Loren Anderson of Seattle Pa cific with 326 and Jack Day of St Martin's with 323. Day was the free throw leader of the pack with 125 conversions. Baylor was tops in field goals with 149. Day was dropped from his squad this week, however, because of study difficulties. Rounding out the Top Ten were Bill Holhngsworth, Southern Ore gon, at 299: Larry Howard, East ern Oregon, 279, and Dave Gam- bee of Oregon State and John Winters of Portland University, tied at 278. The leaders: Roy Campanella Considers Baseball A Labor Of Love ' NEW YORK (UP) Some sayl baseball is a sport and others claim it's a business, but Roy Campanella always looked on it as a labor of love. "Man, how can you ever get tired doing something you love?" Campy would pipe up in that shrill soprano voice of his when ever anyone questioned him about overwork. The chunky receiver broke into organized baseball with a bang in 1946 -when he smashed a homer his first time up with Nashua, N.H.of the New England League. Before the season was through, Campanella hit 13 home runs, bat ted .290 and drove in 96 runs to win the league's most valuable player award. "There was a nearby chicken farm up there that gave out 100 chickens for every home run," Campy likes to recall. "Never ate co much chicken in my life." Campanella also won a promo tion to Montreal of the Interna tional League in 1947 where he batted .273. Brooklyn called him up in 1948,- then sent him back to St. Paul of the American Assn. Roy was at St. Paul only a month but during that time he hit 13 homers and batted .325. Campy finally was brought up end in his first three games against the Giants, he collected nine hits in 12 times up. Two of those hits were home runs. At the time, this writer 'talked to Campanella and here is what he said: "I'm not the kind of person who likes to set too big a goal for himself. So if I can make good with Brooklyn which I believe I can I'd like to buy a home for my family. That's something I've wanted a long time, just a nice home somewhere in the sub urbs." Campanella worked hard and got that home in Glen Cove, Long Island, the same one he was driv ing to when tragedy struck early Tuesday morning. Next to his wife, Kuthe, and his six children. Campy s house his proudest possession. Located on a beach, the house has four bed rooms and three baths. Anyone visiting the house is sure to see the three plaques Campanella was awarded for being voted the National League's most valuable player in 1951, 1953 and 1955. 1 Campanella hit his peak with the Dodgers in 1953 when he drove in 142 runs, hit 41 homers and batted .312. Hampered by a hand injury one of many he has suffered during his 10-year career with the Dodgers he slumped to .207 in 1954. There were those who thought his baseball career was about fin ished then but he underwent an operation and came out of it with glowing spirits. "Shake hands with the most valuable player of 1955," Campy said to all his friends during the winter of 1954. They thought he was tryingto buoy up his own spirits but he hit the nail squarely on the head He drove in 107 runs in 1955, hit 32 homers and batted .318 to walk off with his third MVP award. In addition, he had the added sat isfaction of performing on Brook lyn's first world championship team in history when the Dodgers beat the Yankees in the 1955 World Series. In Sports, Everyone Funny So Say Sport Personalities PHOENIX, Ariz. (UP)-In sports everybody's a comedian: Fordy Anderson, Michigan State basketball coach "When they say you are on probation that means 'Naughty, naughty you're winning too many games.' When I was coaching at Bradley, I came to the conclusion that everybody in Peoria could boil water and coach basketball." Buddy Bomar. champion bowl er "One time I was in "an all night money game with a partner with a 160 average. We were los ing every game. It was getting along towards morning and I sug gested we bowl the next game double or nothing. I told my part ner if he would bowl 150, I would bowl a 300 game and we would get even. I bowled the 300 game, my partner bowled 149 and we lost by one point." Red Davis, manager of the Phoenix entry in the Pacific Coast League "I had an outfielder one year who dropped two consecu tive fly balls. When he came in he had an alibi all ready. Said that the wind was very tricky. I told him if he dropped one more, there wouldn't be tricky winds the would be 'trade winds.' " Del Webb, co-owner of the New York Yankees "Fred Haney, manager of Milwaukee, is such a lovable little guy that I pulled for him to win the National League pennant and even sent him a tele gram. But when he got into the World Series I found I had made a mistake, he couldn't stop win ning." Dizzy Dean, pitching immortal looking around the banquet table at the Phoenix Press Box Asso ciation dinner and spotting man agers Paul Richards of Baltimore and Bob Scheffing of the Chicago Cubs "It was the work of .250 hitters like you guys that got me in the Hall of Fame." Johnny L o n g d e n. champion jockey "I've been riding 30 years and I know I can't go 30 more, but as long as I ride, I'll give m 'ell." Billy Casper, golfer "Two el lows played through our four some one day in a hurry. They stood on the tee and swung their clubs, then hiked down the fair way. I asked them what they were doing. Using an invisible ball, they replied. This way all their shots were straight and true. But when we got to the 18th hole, we found them in a big argu ment. It developed that one guy claimed he had laid a stymie on the other. Bob Scheffing, manager of the cubs When Yogi Berra was tes tifying, at a trial last summer, he did a little bragging, answering the judge's questions about his hitting abilities by saying he was 'the greatest.' Asked by his wife why he had talked like thafc when he usually didn't brag, Yogi re plied 'I had to. This time I was under oath ."

Coach Picks Men Skiers For Title Try BAD GASTEIN, Austria (UP)- After several weeks of careful observance Coach Othmar Schnei der today will pick the U.S. Men's team for the world ski champion ships which get underway Sunday. No matter who is finally picked, the brunt of the U. S. load will be carried by Buddy Werner of Steamboat Springs, Colo., and Tom Corcoran of Westfield, N.J., and New York City. Schneider al ready has said that his two aces will compete in all three events staged here the slalom, giant slalom and downhill. Max Marolt of Aspen, Colo., Colo., who sprained an ankle in the Hahnenkamm Trophy races at Kitzbuehel earlier this month, is still bothered by the injury and more than likely will be pased up. Schneider has his pick among Werner, Corcoran, Dave Gorsuch of Climax, Colo., Marvin Melville of Salt Lake City, and Marvin Moriarty of Stowe, Vt. Meanwhile, the American wom en's team was named Wednes day by Coach Pepi Gabl after it had been announced that Nome Foley of Houghton, Mich., would not be able to compete because of an attack of the flu. Gabl named Sally Deaver of Philadelphia, Betsy Smte of Nor wich, Vt., Linda Myers of Bishop, Calif., and Mady Springer Miller of Stowe, Vt., for the slalom and giant slalom. For the downhill race, Gabl picked Penny Pitou of Gilford, N. H., Miss Deaver. Miss Myers and said he would decide later between Miss Snite and Mrs Springer Miller for the fourth spot. - Record Breaker, 'Windward', Moi Yet Sure Of Yacht Title Star Better, Still Critical GLEN- COVE. N.Y. -Dodger catcher Roy Campanella con tinued to improve today, but he still hasn't shaken off the paraly sis which struck him from chest to toes in an auto accident. The burly, 36-year-old baseball veteran has regained some feel ing in his hands, arms and upper chest. A ' hospital bulletin issued through the Dodger Brooklyn of fice Thursday said Campanella continued to show improvement in spite of a "somewhat restless night." It said he had not been in pain and his temperature was sngnuy above normal. "There is further improvement in the paralysis of the feeling and he is able to move his fingertips a little," the bulletin said. He still is on the critical list. Campanella. three times the National League's Most Valuable Player with the Brooklyn Dodgers, was injured early Tuesday. His car skidded, hit a telephone pole and turned over. Campy suffered a broken neck. He has been in a form of traction since a 4'4-hour operation to re lieve pressure on a nerve. His wife Ruthe spent 2Vi hours at his bedside yesterday, but he slept through the visit. The Cam panella's have six children. The 215-pound catcher has been taking fluids through the mouth, but has been fed intravenously. Doctors still consider the over all picture encouraeine but admit it may be months or vears before he returns to normal. They are hopeful the paralysis eventually win disappear. There is little hone that Camov ever will be able to return to base ball as a player. Not only would there be physical danger because of the injury, but at 36, even Campy probably would not be able to come back. He already had signed for 1958 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, al though taking a cut to an esti mated $36,500 after a poor year iasi season. SAN DIEGO. Calif. (UP) -The final over-all standings may be known late today in the San Diego to Acapulco yacht race, with the record breaking sloop Windward of Los Angeles still not sure of the title. But the absence of any wind for the yachts which still have not Portland Pilots Try Seattle U By UNITED PRESS The University of Portland Pilots hope to pick up tonight where they left off last week against Bradley when they meet Elgin Baylor and company at Seattle. The pilots scored a stunning upset when they dropped the Braves, lOth-ranked nationally at that time, on their barnstorming tour through the Midwest after barely losing an overtime decision to strong Depaul. Although Portland has already been battered twice this season by Seattle with Baylor pouring through 48 points in one contest Coach Al Negratti figures his Pilots have finally "jelled" and are ready to give anyone a tussle. Whether they have jelled enough to stop the Baylor-led Chieftains is another question. But the Pilots' defeat of Bradley on the Braves' home ground and the fact that Portland and Seattle are "tradi tional" rivals would seem to Indi cate that this one won't be an other march to the slaughter house. In the only game involving a coast squad Wednesday night, St. Mary's quest for a win on the road was unproductive again as Regis whacked the Gaels, 75-59, at Denver. The Gaels dropped a pair to tough Idaho State last Saturday and Monday. Insurance Man Reopens Try For Control WASHINGTON Wl Insurance man H. Gabriel Murphy is ex pected to renew Friday his bid to buy control of the Washington Senators for $1,375,770. Murphy, who owns about 40 per cent of the American Leisui club's stock, said Wednesday he would place his offer before the annual stockholders' meeting. But it appears likely he will get no- wnere. The family of the late Clark Griffith holds 52 per cent of the outstanding stock under a trust. And Senators' President Calvin Griffith said he and other mem bers of his family are' "not in terested in selling the Washing ton ball club, either in part or us entirety. Long a critic of the club's pres ent management, Murphy Wed nesday offered to buy 2,274 shares and control of the team for $605 a share, an unprecedented price. Recent quotations have been about $150 a share. Murphy, who paid $8 a share for his own stock several years ago, said he wants control of the team to produce a winner and to end their constant threat of moving the franchise to some other city." Defense Our Cushion Says Bear Coach BERKELEY. Calif. ) "De fense is our cushion." s That's how basketball ' coach Pete Newell explains California's surprising first place tie with UCLA in the Pacific Coast Con ference. Both have 5-1 records. We don't have much of a mar gin for error," Newell said Thurs day. He was referring to the Bears lack of offense. "But," he added, "we compensate with a 102 per cent defensive effort. California is fourth in the nation in team defense and tops in the fLU, limiting conference oppo nents to a mere 45 points a game. Newell s cagers are at the bot tom of conference statistics in field goal shooting percentage and next to last in total scoring. Newell claims this California team is playing as near to its physical potential as any team he has ever coached. He came to the Berkeley campus from Mich igan State in 1954. Before that he coached the San Francisco Dons to the National Invitation (NIT) Championship in 1949. This team s ball handling is good and these boys do not give the ball away. Their concentra tion on both offensive and defen sive plays is excellent. Though we don t have any great height our rebounding is as good as I could want. The boys have an aggressive determination to do the job on the backboards and they do it." The Bears starting team aver ages 6 feet 3 and ranks third in the PCC in rebounds. completed their runs over the course may make it impossible to compute linal standings before Friday. The Escapade was tentatively given second place in class A, be hind the Windward, having com pleted the San Diego to Acapulco run in 10 days. 10 hours, 10 min utes 32.5 seconds. The Novia del Mar had a time of 10 days. 10 hours, 14 minutes and 23 seconds. The Novia del Mar lost 5 hours. 3 minutes during maneuvering to pick up a crewman from the Celestia. However, that time can not be subtracted until the other yacht owners and captains vote tneir consent. The corrected time for the Wind ward, against the elapsed time, was 9 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes ana i.i seconds. Baylor Director Talks To Iowa St. WACO, Tex.

The .Windward, owned by E. R. and Don Chilcott, Los Angeles, established a new record time of 8 days, 12 hours and 34 minutes when it arrived Tuesday. However there are other boats with handi caps that presumably could cap ture the overall crown. Most of the boats were expected to have completed their long jun ket by today. The Coast Guard Wednesday night reported defin itely that all but three craft had reached within 25 miles of their destinations. A Copley news correspondent aboard the Coast Guard cutter Perseus released word Wednesday that the Escapade, a 72-foot yawl owned by James Camp of New port Harbor, Calif., and the 89-foot ketch Novia Del Mar, owned by John P.

Storey Alias Makes Sense CHICAGO Ml Young Jack Johnson, who isn't young at 29, is fighting under an alias and maybe it's just as well. His real name is John Storey. and the story goes that his han dlers tabbed him with the John son monicker because he was sup posed to have the build and the style of the former heavyweight great of vester-vear. Johnson had only two fights in the last two years and the rusti ness of the 214-pounder from Los Angeles was glaringly apparent in Wednesday nights nationally televised no-hitter at Chicago Sta dium. Through 10 drab rounds, John son and Wayne Bethea of New York clubbed at each other, pawed arm-wearingly, and clinched while 1,002 ringside customers booed. Bethea, 204, rated the No. 10 con tender by the National Boxing Assn. and No. 8 by Ring Maga zine, took a unanimous decision. The gate netted only $934, but each fighter picked up $4,000 in TV proceeds for going through the motions in a bout which one fan described as "a fine example of how the heavyweight division has deteriorated." Both were heralded as heavy fisted. For the most part they handled their hands like hams and there wasn't a hint of a knock out possibility. Bethea was much sharper and landed several good rights, but without effect. He got a lopsided decision with Judge Frank Ale Adams scoring it 49-43 under the five-point must system. Judge E. Allen Frankel 48-44 and referee Walter Brightmore 49-40. The Associated Press card had Bethea ahead 48-45. Bethea's record now is 17-7-2 and Johnson's mark is 15-10-1. mm 1 1 1 AM 1 Ta'g3 n .1 Phoenix Golf Starts Action PHOENIX, Ariz.
