Special To The Daily
TUCSON-The red and white
bus had pulled up in front of the
Ramada Inn looking more like
the team bus for the Lqdi Crush-
er than the 'one for the Cleve-
land Indians.
Guys like Max Alvis and Leon
Wagner, with their established
records,' drive their own cars. So
the players that boarded the 9
a.m. bus for Hi-Corbet Field, the
Indians' spring training camp, in-
cluded such names as Rick Un-
derwood, Bobby Booker, Vern Ful-
ler, Ted Ford, Vincent Romno and
Lew Piniella-all the players whose
names have been lost in the pages
of minor league papers.
And strangely enough, most of
the talk is centered around the
minor league. It was like they were
all expecting the inevitable cut to
f happen, so why talk about it?
They all joked about yesterday's
performance which would force

them "to go behind the fence,"
where the Indians' minor league
affiliates were positioned.
On the 10 minute bus ride from
the motel to the beautiful area
that included Hi-Corbet Field,
four league diamonds and a mu-
nicipal golf course, the conversa-
tion of the Indiana sounded any-
thing like a Mutual Admiration
Society. Lew Piniella was recap-
ping Vern Fuller's 108 hits last
year at Portland:
"Thirty of them were on swing-
ing bunts. Sixty were fly balls
lost in the outfield. You got 10
Chinese Homers at the .306 mark,
but you did bat 10 solid line
drives." All Fuller did was laugh
and continue with his crossword
puzzle.
Willie Smith, one of the few
passengers who had taken some
renown as a pitcher turned some-
times - fielder, was , hearing
about his three fielding errors
against the San Francisco Giants
the day before. And generally,
everybody was telling Bobby Book-
er how ugly he was.

catcher Duke Sims commented.
"They really make it tough on
guys, especially those catching a
side-armer like you (John) O'Don-
ohue. You come right off of that
sign."
Also receiving favorable atten-
tion was the outfit Gary Bell had
on the night before.
"I didn't believe it," O'Donohue
called. "He had on pea-green
pants and a pea-green shirt. Five
guys whistled at him when he
left the motel."
Lee Maye, acquired by the In-
dians from Houston over the win-
ter, was getting the needle from
the press, radio and TV corps,
about his new record he had cut.
Bob Neal, the radio voice of the
Indians, dubbed Maye the "baby
wail," and asked him to come up
to the radio booth and sing some-
times during a rainout. Maye, per-
fectly serious, assured him that he
would.
For two hours the squad did cal-
isthenics and took batting and
fielding practice. At 12, they broke

By KIM KENDALL
As a senior at Southfield or
Flint or Battle Creek, he was a
campus god. A football jersey gave
him class offices, the spring queen,
and free bus rides. So he came to
play college ball. And got hit in
the face.
Against 250-pound goliaths on
tender from Evanston or Pitts-
burgh, the local halfback looks
1 like an anemic toothpick. And yet,
he is the type of player "who is
of great importance on the var-
sity team," according to defensive
backfield coach Don James. He
knows he probably won't play, so
he's Just out there - getting
pushed around by the starters -
"for the sheer love of football."
He and others like him began
spring practice Wednesday, tech-
nically on the same basis as the
veterans. "Right now we're more
or less testing everyone," James1
points out, "to see who will be
best where - trying to put.the;
square peg in the rond !sole.
But the holes that have been
vacated by last year's backfieldl
will be hard to fill. Green Bay1

the talent and put it in the right
spot." And the talent goes into
magnificent war movies. Bump El-
liott directs, James and two other
defensive coaches work on halting
the enemy, and three offensive
coaches take care of forward
charges. There are no screen tests
--"we don't cut"; 44 of the 94 team
members will start in the scrim-
mages-some of the parts are just
bigger than others.
Two or three times a week the
directors meet, watch a perform-
ance of the day's filming, and
switch the characters around.
Since so many of the old stars are
gone, the juicy roles are still being
decided upon,
Production
For the part of quarterback,
fullback, and the two halfbacks,
eight contenders will be picked,
four to perform and four to serve
as understudies. A player may get
hurt during rehearsal, have one
too many bad shows, giving his
replacement The Break and a
chanceat the top. The cast has
been enthusiastic for the pro-
duction next fall, "the sprint is
good, and now is the time for it to
be so. They can work hard now

and not have to worry about in-
juries because they have all sum-
mer to mend."
The directors are giving every-
one a chance to perform, feel each
role, and work at many positions.
"It is now that the cream usually
comes to the top," James added.
Assistant coaches are usually
optimistic, and James is hopeful
for next fall. "We will be a dark-
horse," he confesses, "but we have
great potential that must still be
put together.''
And even if they aren't 10-0,
they can always sell practice films
to the Cinema Guild.
