The Seals front office had another Wright in mind when Kenny Wright, of Zillah Wash, was called up. But when Kenny arrived, Manager Tommy Meath told him to stick around a few days. Now, the 180-pound, 5-foot 10 chunker is the darling of the camp. Heath calls him the "Bulldog" and passes the kit back like Bald fight a cane-Tull of wolfskin. "We might have a pom in that box."

Bruins Predict Trouble with Husky Cagers LOS ANGELES — Washington's Huskies, one of the top-ranked basketball teams in the country, are favored to defeat UCLA's surging Bruins in the Pacific Coast conference playoff series at the Westwood men's gymnasium this weekend (March 7-8, and 10, if necessary). The games will be televised. Coach Tippy Dye's Huskies and John Wooden's Bruins have met only four times previously—all within the last year—and Washington has won all contests. The Northern division winners defeated ECLA, 10-6 and 12-2 in last season's PCC playoffs and then won a pair of each-season games, 10-21 and 16-61, and December All-Time were starred in Seattle. The Bruins, however, are a vastly improved basketball team over the one that lost to Washington in December and figure to give the tall and terrible visitors a real battle, especially on their home floor where they've posted a 55-3 win record under Wooden the past four years. The Huskies, who won the Northern division crown handily with a 14-2 record, have two of the nation's top cager performers in center Bob Houbregs (6-7), who is nicknamed "Hooks" for his fantastic hook shots, and forward Frank Guisness (6-3). They ranked one-two in their division scoring race. Houbergs is averaging better than 20 points. Rounding out the Husky starting five, which averages nearly 6-14, 4-in, are Doug McClary, rugged 9-8 forward who also stars at end for the Washington football team, along with guards Mike McCutcheon (6-2 and Joe Cipriano (5-11). The latter is a real Fancy Dan and playmaker. Wooden ranks Washington right on a par with Kentucky and Illinois and believes his youthful Bruins should be definite underdogs this weekend. He admits, however, that he's basing his opinion on early season games. The Huskies have a 21-4 season record as compared to 18-3 for UCLA.

Lauer flew out of the Giant camp after midnight, a few hours after he was notified that his partner, Johnny Broccoli, had died suddenly. Broccoli managed Lauer's restaurant in St. Petersburg. SAN BERNARDINO — Bill Meyer, Pittsburgh Pirate manager, got out the welcome mat today for outfielder George Metkovich. Metkovich received permission to report late so he could finish some movie work—an all-season slain. Meyer said he is pleased with the physical condition of the Bues. He asked that he be anxious for a look at his newest pitcher, James J. Sinclock, as year old. Righthander bought from the St. Louis Browns for slightly over the $10,000 waiver price. Sinclock, who has been working out at Burbank, is expected to arrive today. TUCKON, April 27 — Dick Witfield, who says he will do anything to stay with this ball club, is getting a tryout as a catcher with the Cleveland Indians. The former Detroit Tiger outfielder now a free agent hoping to make a comeback, caught all That’s the Way It Goes VERO BEACH, Fl. (Ft.) — Two seasons ago Jack Banta was hailed as one of the brightest pitching prospects in the Brooklyn Dodger organization. Today, Banta is trodding that long, long trail—back to the innors. Banta’s career apparently is ended because of a sore arm. The Dodgers may send him to the minors and try to transform him into a first baseman. Jack is a fair hitter but even if he makes a successful conversion the best he can hope for is a job in Triple A, Gil Hodges looms as the regular Brooklyn first baseman for many years. Anaheim Tennis Notes Organization and set-up of the Mid-Cities C and D league spring tennis series was the chief concern of the members of the Anaheim Tennis club as they met for their regular monthly meeting with Bob Carrson, newly elected president, conducting his first meeting.

HS Tennis Team Keeps Win Streak Bill Cook’s high flying tennis squad hammered out a log cided 9 to 0 win over the Coxina racketemen on the homo courts yesterday afternoon.

Kolb, Steinborn May Play in Big HS Bowl Game Lennie Kolb, quarterback, and John Steinborn, halfback, of Union High school’s 1951 Sunset League championship team, this week won new honors in receiving bids to represent this area in an East-West National High School All-American football game to be held on Aug. 27 at Memphis, Tennessee. Nominated by sportswriter TUCKON, AKA Dick Wakefield who says he will "do anything to stay with this ball club," is getting a tryout as a catcher with the Cleveland Indians. The former Detroit Tiger outfielder, now a free agent hoping to make a comeback, caught all seven innings of the Tribe's first intra-squad game yesterday. He was bruised and exhausted at the touch, and Manager Al Lopez along with many of the 1500 spectators had to laugh occasionally at Wakefield's awkwardness with the "tools of ignorance." But Lopez said "he didn't do a bad job." The idea of using Wakefield as a catcher was suggested to Lopez as a letter from a Chicago fan who remembered Wakefield as an all-scholastic catcher for Kelvyn Park High school. That was 23 years ago. BURBANK—It's still a guess whether shortstop Marty Marion will be able to serve as a player with the St. Louis Browns, but the former Cardinal manager has given the club a boost in morale. Working out smoothly at short, the loan veteran has added confidence to the hustling youngsters of Manager Rogers Hornsby. Marion, 34, wasn't very peppy, though, as he came into the clubhouse yesterday. C team members submitted to the Mid-Cities eligibility committee are Bob Carlson, Owen Willeford, Julian Martinez, Bob Santaanez, Bob Hoskins, Dr. Ed Jordt, Earl Ryan, Bob Owston, John Schmidt, Bob Clemmer, Dick Conteras, Jack Hersh, Jim Wright, Mary Flynn, Mary Cook, Melva Williams, Joanne Kellogg, Pat Santi, Shirley Poster and Ellen Wright. D team members are Judy Dobeevec, Karen Lesain, Jean and Anne Williams, Rita and Rosalie Flynn, Judy Lamori, Alice Weaver, Linda Lutz, Ann Risner, Jeannie Cole, John Hein, Gale Bonner, Don Lee, Merle Meyer, Barry Ryan, Pat Schneider, Jack Trott, Bob Lennie Kolb, quarterback, and John Steinborn, halfback of Union High School's 1951 Sunset League championship team. This week won new honors in receiving bids to represent this area in an East-West National High School All-American football game to be held on Aug. 27 at Memphis. Tennessee. Nominated by sports writers from this vicinity, the pair received notice early this week of their selection for the Fifth Annual National High School All-American squad. With the notification came also a request for entry forms and identification photos for the right to be among the 44 high school grid stars who will participate in the game. Should they be ranked sufficiently high in ratings they will then win the all-expense trip to Memphis for the game. Sponsored by the Wigwam Wisemen's Club of America of Oklahoma City, the annual All Star High School East-West game has been held for the past four years. Steinborn, who just yesterday won nomination to the All-Sunset league basketball team, was the first team selection for All-Sunset league football honors. Kolb despise many protests from local sports fans; was awarded only an honorable mention berth in All-League ratings. Puckett and W. N. Sandford. Bob Hosking was elected captain of the C team, with Paul Billow acting as non-playing captain of the D team. Remember Speedkill! THANK YOU!
