Ray Norton Enters Mt. San Antonio Go A 15-man team from San Jose State College, headed by Ray Norton, co-holder of the world 100-yard dash record of 9.3 and sprint relay teams hailed as the swiftest in the country, will compete in the First Annual Mt. San Antonio Relays April 24-25. Confirmation of San Jose's entry was received by Relays Director Hilmer Lodge in a televised conversation with Coach Bud Winter, who received the approval of Athletic Director Bill Hubbard. Winter told Lodge that his attempts on the way home from the Santa Barbara Easter Relay were where they set meet records of 41.3 and 1:25.9 for the sprint relays, voted to try for world marks on Mt. San Antonio's fantastically fast track rather than at Drake the same week end. In addition to world record holding Norton, the sprint teams include Bob Poynter, who won the Santa Barbara 100 in 9.5; Bob Brooks and Kent Herkenrath. Track experts agree that this foursome has the best chance of any team to better current world records of 39.7 for the 440 and 1:22.6 for the 880. The Abilene Christian College team, that set narks last year, has been broken up through the graduation of Bobby Morrow. Lodge said that an invitational 100-yard dash would be added to the Mt. San Antonio program on Winter's request. The San Jose coach believes his blazing Norton has a fine chance to officially better 9.3 on the brick-clay, cinder track at Mt. San Antonio. As a team, San Jose is well balanced and already is rated among the favorites for the 1959 NCAA championship. Also Entering Also entering the Relays were Lt. Bill Nieder (62 ft. 9 in.) in the shotput; Rink Babka (190 ft. 2 in.) in the discus and Harold Connolly, world hammer throw record holder at 225 ft. 4 in. In the Mt. San Antonio meet Nieder again meets Dallas Long, fabulous SC freshman, who equaled Parry O'Brien's world mark of 63 TOP THREAT — Donald K. H Win, shown with Jockey Clifford public favorite for Saturday's Stakes at Los Alamitos Race C 45-minute press picture-taking session will start things off at 2:15 p.m., followed by an initial two-hour drill. "I'm looking forward to another spirted Bruin spring practice, one in which all positions are wide open," says the UCLA single wing master who is now the official headman after serving as the acting boss most of last season. The Bruins are allotted 20 off-season workouts to get ready for their first season under the new banner of the Athletic Association of Western Universities. They'll drill five days a week through Saturday, May 9. They'll work Monday through Thursday, skip Fridays and scrimmage Saturdays. "We plan to concentrate for the most part during the first two weeks on the fundamentals of defense and defense," Barnes says. "In the latter stages of the spring season, however, we are going to try a few experiments with our single wing." "I believe we have more competition for positions this year than last — but the quality of the competing athletes remains to be seen," Barnes adds. Returning from last year's team which turned in a 3-6-1 record are the following 20 lettermen, including 14 who started games last fall: ENDS (3) — Glen Almqistl, Jim Johnson, John Pierovich. TACKLES (6) — Dean Betts, Rod Fagerholm, Tony Longo, Trusse Norris, Paul Oglesby, Jim Worace. GUARDS (2) — Rod Cochran, Jack Metcalf. CENTERS (2) — Harry Baldwin, Ben Treat.

Center St. Flag Hungry Open Nation CINCINNATI, Ohio (UPI)—The pennant-hungry Pittsburgh Pirates and the power-hitting Cincinnati Reds open the 1950 National League baseball season today with a former baseball commissioner, Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler of Kentucky, tossing out the first ball. The Reds, who always open at home in tribute to their history as baseball's first professional team, are getting one day's head start on the rest of the league which begins action Friday. Chandler, baseball czar before present Commissioner Ford Frick, was to make the ceremonial first pitch at 2:30 p.m., e.s.t., assisted by Mayor Donald Clancy and City Manager C. A. Harrell. But then Bob Purkey, a sinker ball specialist who won 17 games last year and lost 11, steps to the mound o pitch for the Reds. A half-inning later, fastballing Ronnie Kline, who had a 13-16 record last season, was slated to hurl for Pittsburgh. Pirate fans are hopeful that 1950 will see the Pirates win the National League pennant for the first time in 32 years. But both Pirate and Red fans in the anticipated crowd of 33,000 better buy a scorecard because this will be one time when you really "can't tell the players without a scorecard." Thanks to the big winter player swap between these two teams both clubs will present vastly different lineups from the end of the 1958 season. Ex-Redleg Don Hoak will be a third base for Pittsburgh and batting third. In reserve for the Pirates are ex-Reds Smokey Burges and Harvey Haddix. For Cin THREAT — Donald K. Brokaw's Clabber's shown with Jockey Clifford Lambert up, is the favorite for Saturday's $5,000 Shue Fly at Los Alamitos Race Course where quick quarter horses open the 23-day season on Friday. Clabber's Win also is elegible for $5,000 Miss Princess April 18, the $5,000 Barbra B. on April 25 and the $25,000 Los Alamitos Championship. The Bulletin SPORTS B-6—Anaheim (Cal.) Bulletin Thursday, April 9, 1959 Farm System Curbing Would Hurt Baseball UPI Survey Says By NORMAN MILLER United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) — Major league experts generally are agreed that any federal legislation designed to curb farm systems would be detrimental to baseball, a United Press International pre-season survey disclosed today. A consensus of 50 baseball authorities who covered the 16 major league training camps this spring also maintained in a UPI poll that a third major league is neither foreseeable nor desirable. Thirty-four of the writers and full-time broadcasters replied in a questionnaire that they felt any federal legislation aimed at curbing farm systems would be detrimental to the best interests of baseball. Twelve thought such legislation would be beneficial. Four others declined to answer. Several congressional bills have been proposed for the regulation of baseball and other professional sports. One of the more important aspects of these measures is a proposed curb of the number of players a major league club can control in its farm system. The purpose of such legislation, certain congressmen feel, would be to remove baseball and other professional sports from prosecution under the anti-trust laws. In reply to the query about a third major league, only nine of the 50 experts predicted that one will be formed "in the foreseeable future." Nine (not exactly the same men) believed that a third league is desirable. One writer ventured an opinion of five years as the date when such a league might be formed. Most of the 41 writers opposed to the formation of a third league gave as their reason the lack of major league material. DIDN'T GO THE DISTANCE POMONA (UPI)—Several years ago, five of the eight jockeys in a two-mile race at the half-mile track here pulled up their horses after three laps, thinking the race was over. Wall, Snead Head Greensboro Go GREENSBORO, N.C. (UPI)—Newly-crowned Masters champion Art Wall and six-time winner Sammy Snead headed a brilliant field teeing off today in the first round of the $15,000 Greater Greensboro Open golf tournament. Also in the field was defending champion Bob Goalby of Belleville, Ill., but the young pro was generally overlooked in the pro-tourney interest in Wall and Snead. Wall is riding high on his Masters victory in Augusta, Ga., last week. The Pocono Manor, Pa. pro was once accused of lacking the killer instinct of a winner. But the $34,000 plus he has banked since the first of the year has killed that sort of talk. Snead, of White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., will be getting chance to regain his winning touch on a course he knows well. The 125-man field at the par 7 Stormount Forest Country Club course also included Stan Leard, the Canadian pro and 190 GGO champion; Dow Finsterwald, Lionel Hebert, Dick Mayer...

(UPI)—"Sure we can do it. We're not dead yet." Minneapolis Laker Coach John Kurtilla was the author of those words today, and brave ones they were because his Lakers are only a game away from losing the best-of-seven NBA title series with Boston. The teams meet again tonight at the Minneapolis Armory and could well be the windup of the series and give the Celtics the NBA championship. The Celtics hold a 3-0 margin over the Lakers, a rags-to-rich club in the NBA season, after Tuesday night's 123-110 win in St. Paul. Fight Results United Press International CHICAGO (UPI) — Eddie Perkins, 138½, Chicago, outpointed Paul Armstead, 135, Los Angeles (10). Hungry Bucs, Strong Reds en National Loop Race The opener figured to be a good day for two base hits. That's because the usual Crosley Field seating capacity of 29,500 has been expanded by putting folding chairs on the outfield terrace. Batted balls bouncing into this area would be automatic doubles. SPORT-VIEWS By BILL BLENNS CBS-TV and NBC-TV come to bat this week end with a pair of Major League swat sessions each. CBS opens with Boston at New York — in case of rain, it'll be L.A. at Chicago ... NBC pairs last season's one-two clubs, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh, in the National League race. If you happen to be in San Diego, take your choice ... In Santa Barbara, you can watch the NBC offering ... In L.A., well ... seen any good "B" movies lately? KNXT's animated "Dodgie" will sing out scores each day, beginning Friday, if that's any consolation. If you are planning to vacation in Las Vegas the last week in April, better make sure of your reservations. The week opens Sunday. April 26 with a national telecast of final rounds in the Seventh Annual Tournament of Champions on Desert Inn Country Club greens (the outdoor ones) and concludes with Friday, May 1's national showing of the Patterson-London heavyweight title fight. The mayor should declare that "National TV Week" in the playground of the Stars. NBC and NCAA have announced Louisiana State and Rice will open this year's televised pigskin from the Daytona Beach, Fla., school for umpires. Almost a third of the 32 major league teams are products of this unusual school — Channel 7, 7 p.m. Saturday. Trade News reports from the various networks indicate advertisers are virtually standing in line to get "spot" announcements in front of, behind, and in between the live televising of major sports events ... This should prove something to local advertisers who have scuttled local, live sports shows, such as boxing. All cause of somebody's so-called ratings.
