They've planted the rhubarbs
early this year.
A boiling controversy is waging
among big league stars today on
the merits, if any, of baseball's
new strike zone that has length
ened the target area from the
batter's knees to the shoulders.
"It's terrific. . .1 don't think it's
going to hurt tile batters. . .Will
open the game. . .Ain't going to
make much difference" were
some of the comments evoked
from big leaguers.
Right-hander Jim. Bunning of:
Uie Detroit Tigers called it "Ter
rific. The breaks are for the
pitchers.. But seeing is believing
and now 1 want to see the um
pires call it."
Batting star Stan Musial didn't
think the new rule was going to
hurt the batters.
Cincinnati, Loyola See
Unbeaten Season Ahead
By MARTIN LADKR
UPI Sports Writer
It will lake something of a ma
jor upset in the next few weeks
to prevent Cincinnati or Loyola
of Chicago from completing the
regular college basketball season
with unblemished records.
The two standouts of the 1962-
6.1 campaign went right on win
ning Saturday night, top-ranked
Cincinnati turning back third-
ranked Illinois, 62-53, and second
ranked Loyola beating Santa
Clara, 82-72. and at the rate
they're going it appears a cinch
they'll be battling it out for the
national championship in the
NCAA tournament in March.
Cincinnati has won 33 straight
games over the last two seasons
with nine remaining on the regu
lar schedule. The Bearcats are at
home for two of those games this
week, hosting Drake on Thursday
and St. Louis on Saturday.
Loyola, with a 19-0 mark and
boasting the top offensive unit of
any major school, also will have
friendly surroundings for two
contests this week when it meets
Washington and Iowa. Following

"My first feeling when I made
it was 'Wow.' Nothing else, just
'Wow,' " Yang said. "I knew I
could do it when I cleared 15-11."
Officially, Yang had never gone
higher than 14-7 before the Port
land meet, but he later admitted
clearing 16-2 after switching to a
fiberglass pole a few months ago.
Tlie UCLA student is known pri
marily as a decathlon man, and
his point total in that endurance
test has been exceeded only by
Rafcr Johnson.
Yang missed three attempts at
16-5, one of them on Die way
down alter clearing the bar.
Yang's feat earned him the
meet's out standing performer
trophy and added class to a meet
marked by several upsets but few
records.
Canadian Dave Steen of Oregon
provided the biggest shock by de
feating veteran Parry O'Brien in
the shot put. Steen broke the 60

finished second at 61-2' i.

Steen-Obrien duel was world rec

"The strike zone now is higher
and most batters are high-ball
hitlers." said the St. Louis Car
dinal great. "I think if they want
ed to help the pitchers, they could
have widened the plate."
The old zone, in the vicinity of
the batter's .knee top to bus arm
pits, was changed Saturday by
by baseball's rules committee on
the recommendation of many big
league managers.
Approves Change
Veteran umpire Tom Gorman
already targeted for the mass dis
putes bound to arise, said the new
rule "will open the game a lot
and I think it will help the more
finicky hitters who will receive
more opportunities to swing."
"It ain't going to make much
difference to me," muttered Bill
Skowron, the erstwhile New York
Yankee star who was traded to
this, the Ramblers wi'.l have six
games remaining.
Oddly enough, the chief obsta-
cle for both Cincinnati and Loy
ola will be the same team i

cats travel to Wichita Feb. 16

NEW STRIKE ZONE Baseball rhubarbs have been
planted early this yoar with a boiling controversy already
underway over the new strike zone. As diagrammed on a
file photo of Mickey Mantle, the new zone will be the
"space above home plate which is between the top of
the batter's shoulders and his knees." The old rule limited
the strike area to between the batter's armpits and the
top of his knees. The new rule goes into effect for 1963.
