Norman's Tigers will feature a
"new look" on defense Friday
when they take to the field at
30:15 am to oppose either Chick
asha or Edmond for their open
Mg action in the big Oklahoma
University prep baseball tourna-
ment The 53rd annual tourney with
84 state teams in the running
got under way this morning with
the opening games in the 60-team
Class B-division The Tigers hop-
ing to garner honors in the Class
A action that began this after-
noon had a first-round bye They
will meet the winner of today's
Edmond-Chickasha first-round bat
tie The Tigers' game is sched-
uled on the northeast diamond of
the OU intramural field
Norman Coach Chet Bryan to-
day announced a revised Tiger
defensive lineup for the game
There will be no change in the 1
line-up and the batting order will
stay the same he said but four
of his regulars will be at new positions
Robert Will Catch
Bryan said in practice this week
be had moved Butch Roberts
from shortstop to catcher John
Mc Cray from catcher to right
field and Jim Pence from first
base to shortstop Either Jim
Braden (2-1) or Jerry Neal 43-0)
will start on the mound wah the
other taking over the vacant first
base post In past games the
two right-handers have alternated
In right field when not pitching
The rest of the lineup will re-
main the same with Paul Upde
graff at second Tom Pannell at
third Denny Ilopkins in left and
defensive ace Ty Morris in cen-
ter Batting-wise the order reads:
Roberts (194) Hopkins (292)
Pannell (2094 Mc Cray (201)
Neal (292) Braden (150) Pence
(227) Morris (269) and Upde-
grafi (200)
Neal Has Beaten Chicks
Which pitcher gets the starting
nod Bryan said will depend on
which team the Tigers face If
they play Chickasha Neal will
probably start as he's already
beaten the Chicks once 10-0
while the Chicks own a decision
over Braden If they meet Ed-
mond the choice of pitchers fig
Ores as a toss-up
Regardless of which team they
meet the Tigers have their work
Cut out for them Edmond southern-half
champion of the Inter
state 35 Conference had a 7-3
record going into its game this
afternoon Chickasha brought a
9-7 mark Into the tourney while
the Tigers stand only 5-4 for the
Season
Bulldog's Pitching Good
If the Tigers go against Edmond
—as they did last year in their
Journey opener after the Bull
dogs dropped the Chicks in the
first round—they will likely face
the slants of southpaw strike-out
artist Don Casto or sophomore
right-bander D L Jones Cast°
averaging nine strike-outs a
game has a 4-2 record Jones is
3-0 for the year
Catcher Ron Casto twin of the
Bulldogs' mound ace and second
baseman Red Brown are Ed-
mond's leading hitters with aver-
ages well above the 300 mark
Third baseman Gene Woodside
and Don Casto also play big parts
in the Bulldog offense
Should the Tigers find them-
selves going against Chickasha
again they will be batting against
either Richard Goihs (1-2) Ker-
mit Littles (3-1) or Joe Foley
(1-1) It was Coins that beat Nor-
man earlier in relief of Little&
City Keglers
Pick Officers
Mrs Charles E Woodring 113
W Johnson St has been elected
president of the Norman Women's
Bowling Association for the 1960-
61 season

"I have one weakness: I can't
say 'no' to kids"
That weakness Mrs Sue Ken-
dall explained is the main rea-
son she is coaching the boys'
and girls' tennis teams at Nor-
man high School None of the
men instructors at the school
would tackle the job so mem-
bers of the boys' team drafted
Mrs Kendall
She doesn't regret It
"After our trip to Northeast
Tuesday it all seems worth-
while" she said "I don't think
the boys expected to win by
such an overwhelming score
but they all wanted to win and
they were so excited when they
won all five matches
"Before the matches I said
to myself 'what will I do? I
didn't know how to help them
and I was worried but they
made me happy to be around
them I doh't regret a minute
of the time it takes to be with
them and I'll be back with the
team next year unless one of
the men who knows more about
it will take over"

''They are all ambitious and

'My top seven boys are all

LAWRENCE Kan — If the
weather is right meet records
may go flying in all directions
during the Kansas Relays here
this weekend as no less than 13
national champions will be com-
peting in the 33th edition of the
huge track and field carnival
That array of champions
with 25 national titles to their
combined credit in everything
from the 100-yard dash to the
six-mile run are the nucleus of
what promises to be one of the
strongest fields ever assembled
for this second stop on the
Midwest's "Grand Circuit" of

ure to be pushed to their limit

coach And as bad as ther
wanted to have a team I can't
see why anyone would want to
deprive 12 or 14 boys of a
chance to play for their school
And no one could have hand-
picked a group of boys that is
easier to handle than these are
"They play tennis the way
any coach would want them to
They all want to play and that
is the most important part of
the game
"If anyone had told me a few
weeks ago that I would be
coaching a boys' tennis team I
would have laughed I wish I
were a man so I would know
what to do for them
'Do you suppose there are
any mite women that are
coaching a boys' team" she
laughed "If there are any I
don't know who they are
"I think surely some man
will come along next year that
will take care of the team If
someone doesn't I will be back
with them When I start some-
thing I finish it"
The team will get its first
taste of tournament action Tues-
day when it plays in the Boomer
Conference tourney at Lawton
The Lawtons and Martins will
play on the boys team and
Shaeffer Stuard Black and
Miller will represent the girls

Vaunted Cincy Mates

I best day" McMillan said with a
beaming smile "I got a real good
wood on the ball all day"
McMillan who has only 33
homers and a batting average of
210 in his National League ca-
reer suddenly has blossomed into
a slugger as leadoff man succeed-
ing Johnny Temple who was trad-
ed to Cleveland Ile has driven in
10 runs in six games the Reds
have split
Manager Fred Hutchinson mho
took over the rens at Cincinnati
in mid-season last year credits
Coach ‘Sally Moses for developing
McMillan into a feared hitter

the outstanding performer of
the 1959 relays after winning

Tigers Defeat
Indiaris Grab
League Lead
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If you're scoring the Cleveland
trades give round two to
the Tigers and at least a nod to
Al Ka line
It was Rock Colavito and Norm
Cash a pair of exInjuns who
brought Detroit from behind with
homers but it was Ka line who
delivered the knockout punch for
the second straight day as the
Tigers clipped the Indians 6-4
Wednesday Ka line's first 1960
home run cracked a 4-4 tie and
triggered a tworun ninth
With the defending champion
Chicago Vhite Sox t1-0) idle that
left Detroit (2-0) all alone atop
the American League standings
The Boston Red Sox winning their
first on the third try spilled the
New York Yankees 7-1 and Wash
ingtOn dropped Baltimore 8-7 in
the only other games scheduled
in the AL
Morgan Winner
Colavito the fan favorite traded
to Detroit Sunday for Harvey
Euenn made up for Tuesday's 0-
for-6 debut as a Tiger with a
threerun homer that tied It in the
fourth Then Cash exchanged for
third baseman Steve Demeter two
weeks ago crashed a pinch homer
for a 44 deadlock in the eight
The Tigers got their clinching
two in the ninth when Ka line
tagged the third homer off Jim
Perry (04) a sophomore who
never had lostto Detroit
Tom Morgan won it pitching a
hitless eighth in relief of southpaw
Don Mossi (yet another ex-Indian)
who gave up four hits—all Cleve-
land got
Casale Beats Yanks
Right-hander Jerry Casale who
won his last five decisions as a
rookie last season made it six
in a row with a five-hit job on
the Yankees He walked three
struck out eight and chipped in a
two-run double as the Red Sox
scored four in the second for a
5-0 lead against loser Bob Turley
The Senators won their second
when Billy Cons° lo tripled and ex-
Oriole Billy Gardner singled in the
ei 4ht Harmon Killebrew socked
his first homer of the year in the
fifth inning and then gave the Nats
a 7-7 tie with a two-run single in
the seventh Tex Clevenger won it

Unsolved
PHILADELPHIA (AP)--Why did
Eddie Sawyer wade through
spring training handle the club
in one regular season game and
then toss in the towel as manager
of the Philadelphia Phi tiles?
Friday will be a week since
Sawyer's dramatic exit and the
announcement of Gene Mauch as
his successor Instead of becoming
a forgotten issue the mystery has
deepened Local sports circles still
are batting about the whys and

ST LOUIS (AP)—Paul Seymour
is the new coach of the St Louis
Hawks a job with the fastest turn-
over in pro sports
Taking over the National Bas-
ketball Assn post Wednesday Sey-
mour became owner Ben Kemer's
15th coach in 13 seasons and sixth
in 5 years in St Louis
Some of Seymour's predecessors
quit Some were fired
Seymour who resigned la st
month after four years as coach
of the Syracuse Nationals signed
a three-year contract said to call
for $20000 a year
pion entered Ile has leaped
24-10:Pi once this spring and is
one of the favorites here Ile
was runner-up to Kansas' Er-
nie Shelby since graduated
last year with a 24-6 i leap
Another national titlist who
Is defending champion here is
Kansas' strong man Bill Alley
NCAA javelin winner a year
ago He set a Relays record
with a 254-9 fling in '59 but al-
ready has a 260-II on the books
this season Alley looks like a
cinch winner if there is one
to be found
Ilouston's John Macy with
two NAAU and one NCAA ti-
tles behind him in distance
races will be on hand to try
to defend the two-mile crown
he won last year His chief
competition will likely come
from teammate Pat Clobessy
Mrs Billy Mills and Emporia
and said he'd never again fight
the Philadelphia veteran who
missed by a hair's breadth In his
first title shot after 12 years in
the ring
"He doesn't deserve a rematch
because of the way he butted me
in the fourth round" Fullmer
said His manager Mary Jenson
echoed the champion's stand
"Sure I butted him" Giardello
said afterward in his dressing
room "but I only did it after he
butted me"
Exit Still
Mystery
Club owner Bob Carpenter and
General Manager John Quinn con-
sider the matter a closed book
The detectives in this case —
1 reporters — have taken to inter-
viewing each other The writers
1
who covered the club in spring
training were particular targets
for questioners
The general opinion seemed to
be that Sawyer was an entirely
different personality from the man
who came to the Phil lies in 1948
and helped develop the team
which won a National League pen-
nant in 1950
During his first term Sawyer
was known as the kindly professor
who had a wonderful way with
kids It was said that the mana-
ger cajoled kidded and hand-rode
the young team known as the
Whiz Kids to the flag He made
them believe they could win and
they did
But something happened They
fell apart never were the same
team again
Sawyer in a desperate effort to
bring the club around discarded
his kindly approach and got
tough It didn't work and 212
years after he managed a pen-
nant winner he was fired or quit
as he always has contended
In the middle of the 1958 season
the Phillies amazed Philadelphia
baseball followers by bringing
back Sawyer The Phillies now
a last-place team Sawyer sat
quietly in the dugout through the
rest of the season and suffered
through an ignominious campaign
in 1959
In the early months after the
season however Sawyer talked
like the professor of old He had
a lot of promising kids coming up
from the farms He spoke of the
Phillies of the future But some-
where along the line he suddenly
lost his enthusiasm
