Tomsic's brilliance was capped by a 25-foot field goal which sent the Indians ahead in the closing seconds. Stanford led at the first quarter 16-15, but then it looked like the Trojans were running away, again, as they went to halftime intermission with a 41-32 bulge.

STRONG ARMS — Manager Marty Marion of the St. Louis Browns tests the throwing arm muscles of two veteran pitchers obtained by the win club during the winter. PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gabe Paul, general manager of the Cincinnati Reds, flew to Pittsburgh Saturday to renew trade talks on Ralpn Kiner but Branch Rickey of the Pirates said there "definitely will be no deal made at this time." Paul arrived about 2 p.m. Rickey had flown in shortly before from Hollywood where he had an hour-long contract talk Friday with Kiner, major league home run king, who drew $90,000 last year. Rickey invited Paul to have dinner at his home and said they would discuss Kiner later. A newsman asked Rickey if it's true he wants more in trade than what he considers Kiner's value "Of course," replied the Mahatma. "Doesn't that make it kind of rough on teams trying to make a deal?" the newsman continued. "Naturally," said Rickey. "But you must remember Kiner is a great gate attraction, a fine ballplayer and a terrific batsman. There's no sense in anybody coming to me unless I get the best of the deal." Before leaving for Pittsburgh, Paul said he did not plan to increase his original offer of five players valued at close to $300,000. The offer was made recently in several talks between Paul and Rickey at the winter: baseball meeting in New York. "I may not offer the same five players I did the last time," the Redleg general manager said. "I have in mind some different ones. But the value mark of approximately $300,000 will remain the same." One of the players Paul has on the block is outfielder-first baseman Joe Adcock. Apparently he is the key to the whole proposed trade. Paul has declined to name the others.
