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.

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

on the club who was in the wel

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

The Pelicans left this afternoon
at 4:30 for Ashland, undecided as

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

may use Dunson as an alternate
with Steve Binney out front to
night. 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.

AL Schedule
Announced;
Starts Late
BOSTON (UPI) - The 1960
American League schedule calls
for a record number of 293 night
games and for someone to explain
why it will start a week later
than the National League's.
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.

West Coast teams are in for
a busy schedule tonight and Sat

to make a clean sweep in the win
columns.
California and Stanford will host
Oregon and Oregon Slate respec
tively on their own home courts.
They haven't been known to give
away points there.
However, Stanford will not be
helped by ace playmaker and cap
tain, Johnny Arrillaga. The star
guard is nursing a sprained an

rack up five wins out of six
games with .Northwest teams, but
Arrillaga's absence could start the
tide lo turn.
California, the NCAA champions
with a 14-1 mark, should have no
trouble with OSC, though that
won't be a pushover either. The
Ducks carry a 13-4 record and
they could be a tough team to
beat.
The southern members of the
Big Five, USC and UCLA, will
lock horns with Hawaii and Den

shouldn't have too much difficulty
dumping Denver, but the Bruins
might be in for a tough tussle with
