TMogs Looking Up
For Phillies With
Young Club Growing
(•KKAHtoATflft, Fla., March
28, (I I'l ♦- Things are looking
up for the cfrfee-forloru Phillies.
It is beginning to look like all
the money young Hol> Carpen-
ter has poured into the club is
going to start paying off.
Not in the form of a pennant
this year, or perhaps next, but
there is no doubt that Philadel-
phia's National League fortunes
are on the rise. Carpenter anil
his manager, likeable Eddie
Sawyer, will be well satisfied
this year if the club finishes in
the first division. It has a fight-
ing chance to. do that.
The Phillies are building on
youth witli a small mixture of
veterans ft> help out the kids,
but they figure to l>e stronger
next season and while they do
not rate up therewith the Dodg-
ers and Bravofc- in the preseason
forecasts, ihpy definitely are
out of thuflfys when they were

Experienced Eleven
Training At H.S.U.
AlilLENK. March 28— (UP)—
i An experience-laden Ilardin-
! Simmons University football
j squad launched spring training
j Monday with bright prospects
| that the 1940 Cowboy eleven will
| lie one of the best in recent years.
In addition to a large group of
veterans — all but two of last
years starters—the squad will in-
clude 28 freshmen from last fall's
unbeaten first-year group.
Coach Warren Woodson was
highly optimistic over the Covv-
\ boy's hopes.
j "The freshmen are the best
we have had and the coaching
j staff eagerly is looking forward
to the spring drill," Woodson
I said. "Their presence is like a
shot in the arm."
The spring drills will be in two
sessions, March 28-April 13 and
May Hi-May 31.
TO PI-AY KANSAS
DALLAS, (UP)— A four-year,
| home-and-home agreement for
j football games between South-
ern Methodist University and
the University of Kansas was
| announced by SMC athletic di-
rector and coach Matty Bell.
The first game will be played
in Dallas Oct. 25, 1952.
The schedule is so arranged
that in the years SMU meets
Kansas here, it will play Miss-
ouri, another Big Seven con-
ference power, in Columbia, and
vice versa, Bell said.

SEATTLE .Wash., March 28—
(UP) — Thirty-six points just
aren't enough to beat the Ken-
tucky Wildcats any more, the
Oklahoma Aggies ruefully ad-
mitted today.
Time was—hack in the 1947
Sugar Bowl—when you could
tally 36 points yourself, tie the
Wildcats in knots and wall; off
with a 36 to 30 triumph. That's
what the Aggies did the last time
they played Kentucky.
But the same deep-freeze tac-
tics didn't work quite so well this
year. The Wildcats didn't get as
Training Camp Briefs
VERO BEACH, Fla., March 28
(UP)—Manager Burt Shotton
of the Brooklyn Dodgers to-
day hand-picked five of his|tuck.v',
brightest rookies to accompany
the varsity on an exhibition
swing through Texas.
Named to make the trip, and
apparently with a good chance
to make the team, were Pitch-
ers Jack Banta and Clarence
Podbelian from Montreal, Pitch-
! er Morris Martin from St. Paul,
j first-baseman Dee Fondy from
j Fort Worth, and outfielder Cal
I Abrams from St. Paul.
Despite their 3 to 1 loss to the
Philadelphia A's "B" team yes-
I terday, the Dodgers were cheer-
| ed by the showing of Pitcher Rex
j Barney. Previously futile this
spring, Barney went the route
| and pitched a five-hitter, losing
j because Dick Fowler hurled a
I three-hitter for the A's.
TAMPA, Fla., March 28 (UP)
- Boston Braves' outfielder
Clint Conatser, who was beaned
during yesterday's game here
against Cincinnati, was "under
observation" today in Tampa
Municipal hospital.
Conatser was struck in the
I back of the head by a pitch
thrown in the seventh inning
| by Rookie Hurler Frank Fano-
vich of the Reds. He was not
] knocked unconscious, but was
j taken to the hospital for X-Rays
j and observation.
The injury overshadowed the
13 to 4 defeat handed the Braves
by the Reds. Ted Kluszewski's
I homer led Cincinnati as it, tal-
lied four runs ir. the fourth and
five in the sixth. Phil Masi and
Ed Stanky homered for Boston.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. Mar.
28 (UP)--Jo DiMaggio won't be
j in the lineup when the New
York Yankees tangle with the
| Philadelphia Phils today, but he
may be ready to play on Wed-
nesday.
' The famed "Yankee Clipper"
said yesterday he will give his
ailir.g" heel another test when
the Yanks clash with the Cincin-
nati Reds. He pinch-hit only a
fly-ball out against the St. Louis
Cards yesterday as the Yanks
were blanked, 1 to 0.
PASADENA, Cal., March 28
(UP) — Veteran righthander
Hal Gregg and rookie southpaw
Chet Johnson were set to toe the
slab today for the Pittsburgh
Pirates as they faced the St.
Louis Browns again.
Yesterday the two teams play-
ed to a 12-ir.ning, 7-7 tie at San
Bernardino as relief pitchers
Hugh Casey of Pittsburgh and
Tom Ferrick of the Browns duel-
ed. Homers were hit by Les
Moss, Jack Graham, and Sher-
man Lollar of St. Louis and Ed
Bookman of Pittsburgh.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 28
(UP) It looked today as if;
blaze-bailer Bobby Feller and
the venerable Satchel Paige will j
be in shape to hurl at the start
of the season for the world'
champion Cleveland Indians.
Feller gave up five hits in ,
five innings, Paige two in four
yesterday and the Tribe beat the
San Francisco Seals, A to 2. Ear-
lier in the day the Indians beat
the Oakland Acorns, 1 to 0, on
Dale Mitchell's home run.
many points as usual, but they
still registered a 16-36 win over
the Aggies in the finals of the
NCAA basketball tournament on
Saturday.
Coach Hank Ilia, who taught
his Aggies to become the coun-
try's best defensive unit, hail
hoped his Bob Harris could put
the clamps on Alex Groza, Ken-
tucky's six-foot, seven-inch scor-
ing machine.
Harris couldn't manage the
job and fouled out after only
four minutes of the second half.
That was the "tell" of the game
and Groza went on to score 25
points—giving him an NCAA rec-
ord of 82 in three games, busting
the tourney mark set two years
ago by Bob Kurland of the Ag-
gies.
There was no hiding Ken-
jubilation at having re-
deemed its defeat of the national
tournament. The Wildcats felt,
and everybody agreed with them,
that they had re-established
themselves at the top of the col-
legiate heap.
The only team that could dis-
pute that at all was San Fran-
cisco. winner of the national in-
vitation.
"This is the one we've been
waiting for." said Kentucky
Coach Adolph Hupp when the
finale was over. "We've been
playing steadily for almost two
years and we're glad its over."
During those two years, the
Wildcats compiled oen of the
most amazing records in the his-
j lory of the game. Last year they
won the NCAA tourney, sent five
men to the Olympic games ami
had them tour Europe after their
Olympic triumph. This year
iliey had an overall record of 32
victories and two defeats.
