At 6:30 p.m the KU Jayvees take the floor against the GP juniors, followed by the main event between the Paret, Scott Do It Again For TV Fans NEW YORK (AP) - Benny (Kid) Paret is confident he will make it two straight over high- ranking Charley Scott tonight. They meet in a return televi liion (NBC 10 p.m., EST) 10-round fight at Madison Square Garden. As a 3-1 underdog last Dec. 18, Paret, of Cuba, gave Scott a solid drubbing. Despite that victory. which included a loth-round knockdown of the favorite, the muscular Cuban is an underdog again, this time at 7-5 odds. "I beat him before and I will beat him again," said the Paret, 22. "I've got the style to handle him. The odds mean nothing." The busy, ever-punching Paret refused to give the 23-year-old Philadelphian any punching room the last time. And Scott needs space to get the leverage for his flashing left hooks and sweeping rights. It was a costly defeat for Scott, winner of six straight and headed for a title shot with champion Don Jordan. Now he is ranked fourth by the NBA and second by Ring. Paret, un ranked before the fight, earned a No. 6 rating from the NBA and a No. 9 birth by Ring. Scott's record is 24-10-0 includ ing 13 knockouts. Paret's record is 29-6-2, including eight kayos. Scoring will be by rounds. yogi Berra Hands Load To Pitchers By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP1) The man who catches them put the load on the pitchers today if the New York Yankees are to scramble back to the lop of the American League heap in 1960. "We got a good chance," said Yogi Berra. "But it all depends on what the pitchers particularly young guys like Bill Short and Jim Coates do for us." As for Berra, he'll be around another year at an estimated $50,000 and probably for three or four more years, to boot. "Who's thinkin' about retir ing" he asked with a mixture of amusement and amazement. "I feel good and I'll play as long as I can." This despite the fact that Yogi Is the elder statesman of the Yan Vpps. the onlv nlaver remaining on the club who was in the wel coming committee when Casey Stengel arrived at the stadium. The chunky Berra came up to the Yankees in 1946. And if you don't think times have changed cinrp then recall for a moment that the club then was composed of such as Joe DiMaggio, Frankie Crosetti, Charley Keller, Tommy Henrich, Joe Gordon, John Lin dell, Phil Rizzuto, Snuffy Stirn- weiss, Billy Johnson, Tiny Bon ham and Smid Chandler. "Yog" in the intervening years hat manaced to nut most of them in the shade. Three times he has been the Most Valuable Player in the leacue. In 10 World Se ries he has played a record 61 games and piled up a record bl hits, and he has slugged more homers than any other catcher, 291, with an additional 12 as a rtart.timp niltfipldpr. What happened to the Y'ankees last year? "Writ " said Yogi, fingering a face that looks like a relief map of Vermont, "a lot of things.

The Pelicans left this afternoon at 4:30 for Ashland, undecided as to the fifth starting position for the evening's game with the Griz zlies. The lad in question is Dean Dun- son who has been suffering with a cold. Said coach Dean White, "We NOT QUITE LEGAL, but highly effective as a meth od of producing a hard-to-check two points, is the plan demonstrated here by Peli cans' bottom man Bob Lew is and second story man Bruce Brickner. Since each stands 6-6, both have been known to get the ball that far up, and in, without any help. Foss Howls. Dallas Stand Made By NFL MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (UPD- The National Football League set up a stand today in Dallas, where the infant American League had established one of its prize fran chises, and immediately made Texas the battleground for a new pro football war. Acting expansively for the first lime since 1950, the 40-year-old NFL also announced it would have a franchise in Minneapolis St. Paul in 1961 and planned even tually to enlarge to 16 teams within the next three years. St. Louis and Miami were possibili ties. Upon learning that the NFL planned to operate in Dallas next season, . AFL Commissioner Joe Foss issued an anguished charge of "monopoly." Foss labeled Dallas as a "one- team market" and threatened "the AFL definitely will take ac tion. . .through the courts, Con gress or any other means." Pete Rozelle, new commissioner of the NFL, replied that New York and Los Angeles first were NFL cities but the older league had not complained when the AFL moved in. Rozelle said the NFL "welcomed the compe tition." v vjs.ra COMPLETE AUTO PAINTING $50 AND UP I to pay.

Some more rest can't hurt Dean a bit, then by tomorrow night (Saturday) he may be of much more use to us. How much we use him this weekend will de pend entirely upon his condition." The balance of the Pel lineup will include Bob Lewis, Bruce Brickner, Freddie Biehn and Paul Bishop. Don Eastman and Gary Patzke are ready as handy relief. White had expressed concern that the Ashlanders, who were stumped 92-32 by .Medford last week, would exercise their ball-control tactics. Primary emphasis this week in practice, in spite of the Ashland plans of attack, were aimed more definitely toward the Saturday meeting with the upset-minded Grants Pass Cavemen. Definite measures toward con taining the shooting potential of Caveman Rex Benner -were in cluded in KU scrimmages and drills. The weekend games are the sec ond matches between each team. The Pelicans dropped Ashland 64 46 the first time around and han dled GP 58-50. GonzagaAce Leading NW Hoop Driller SEATTLE (AP)-Frank Burgess of Gonzaga ran his scoring total to 360 points last week to remain atop the heap in the Pacific North west collegiate basketball scoring derby. .

American Leaguers aren't at all happy that their season opens on April 18 while the National League starts its campaign on April 12. So far there has been no explanation except for the fairly obvious fact that someone goofed. Anyway, the Red Sox and Sen ators officially open the AL sea son with the presidential opener at Washington, April 18. One day later, Detroit opens at Cleveland Kansas City at Chicago, New York at Boston and Washington at Baltimore. Detroit, New York and Kansas City open their home seasons on April 22.' Like the National League which increased its schedule of night games to a major league record total of 312, the American League also will play the most games in its history. This year's total of 293 marks an increase of 31 night games over last year's total. DREWS Manstore 733 Main and Town and TIME OUT mm. 'Man! Is it cold out on that ski slope today!"
