The Buckaroos. playing one of their best ball games during the tourney, hit 22 of 65 tries from the field for a .549 mark and a fabulous 12 for 13 from the foul line. The Pels made 20 of 52 shots from the floor for a .385. but fell Way short at the foul line, hitting only seven of 14 attempts. Pendleton is an extremely well- coached club.

'Pennant Feeling1 Dominates Pirates FORT MYERS, Kla (UPI) -Ths Pittsburgh Pirates have "that pennant feeling." I.ast year, in his first full sea ion as manager. Danny Murtaugh aimed for the first division and wound up second, eight games he hind Milwaukee. That represented a jump of five notches for the Pirate, who were seventh in 1957 the ninth year in a row they had finished in the second divi-don. "We really started to jell last i men can lesson. ' Murtaugh said. Now we are aiming to jump just one more notch in the standings My play ers are confident we can do it. and so am L We all have that pennant feeling." Murtaugh gambled and traded away his leading power hitter. Frank Thomas, to get what he felt the Pirates lacked in ID.iH A left handed starting pitcher and a left handed hitting catcher. He ob tained Harvey Haddix, who was 8-7 with Cincinnati last year, and Pmokv Burgess, a 2S3 hitter with the Reds. Also in the deal, the Pirates obtained Don Hoak to take over Thomas' third base chores. IMPROVE DEFENSE "We know we lost power, but with Hoak at third we improved our defense and Haddix gies us the lefthanded pitching strength p lacked. And Burgess is not only valuable as a full time catch er, if need be, but also as a pinchhitter. "Now we have to find a hig bat Is take over from Thomas. I'm looking for our first basemen to supply that." The player he is looking at most Is Dick Stuart, who can hit the hall a long wa He hit in homers in 7 games with the Pirales last season and drme in runs But he strikes out a lot. The only question in Mtirtaugh's mind is whether Stuart will drive in more run. uith hi. hat than he will let 1 .. ,u U. t. A Ul'l M ft..! til HIUI Ulf ll.iulii,. i" fer-:ve genius. Should Stuart fall short. Mur taugh has Ted Kluszewski. who this sprms looks like the slugger he uas with Cincinnati before he came up with a back ailment two !he grade in the majors. Back of them also is R. C. Stevens, the best fielder of the lot. but with a weaker hat. REST OF mriKXD SET The rest of the infield is set with Bill Mazeroski at second. Dick Groat at short and Hoak at third. Mazeroski and Groat form one of the best second base com binations in the majors and most baseball mem agree with Mur taugh when he says those kev beat you more wavs than any other shortstop-second base combination in the majors If the Pirates have one weak ness, it is in infield reserves. The veteran Gene Baker. Dick Scho field, who was a disappointment with the Cardinals, and rookie Harry Bright, a 309 batter at Sacramento in 19.VJ. are the only ones who can back up Mazeroski. Groat and Hoak. Baker was hurt most of last season and it s a question whether he could play every day if something happened to anyone of those three.
