DiMaggio has collected only two hits, both home runs, in 18 official times at bat in Grapefruit League games for a weak .111 mark. THE CLIPPER himself is not unduly worried over the sad state of affairs. DiMaggio jokes with his teammates and expects to get go- ing any time. Actually his timing is not far off. He is meeting the ball but is either cutting under or top- ping it. Last year DiMaggio slugged at a .403 clip during a six week per- iod before the regular season open- ed. Another factor may be that Di- 'Maggio is trying too hard. Di- Maggio wants this to be a great year and he especially wants to shine during the tour of his home state. LAKELAND, FLA.-Pitcher Vir- gil Trucks hopes he has the an- sswer to the big question in the De- troit Tigers' training camp, "What is wrong with the Tigers?" The big righthander with the doubtful arm will make his first pitching appearance of the spring and his second since last May 19 when he goes against the Phila- delphia Phillies here Sunday. The way the defending Na- tional League Champions react - to his pitches may determine how he'll go against American League teams this year. The Tigers have had a dismal spring training season so far, dropping their last five games for a 2-6 record. * * * SARASOTA, FLA.-Pitcher El- lis Kinder was balked again yes- terday in his attempt to hurl his first game of the year as rain forced the Red Sox to call off their scheduled game with the St. Louis -Cardinals. - *s s TAMPA, FLA.-Rain washed out the Cincinnati Reds-New York Gi- ants exhibition game at St. Peters- burg yesterday but it didn't pre- -vent Manager Luke Sewell from keeping his Redlegs at work.

Today they will resume their Major League exhibition competi- tion by engaging the Cleveland In- dians at Los Angeles. * * * BROWNS 9, INDIANS 8 BURBANK, Calif. - The St. Louis Browns used a last-inning home run yesterday to defeat the Cleveland Indians for the second straight day-this time by a 9 to 8 score. Joe Lutz's four-bagger climaxed a five-run rally in the ninth. Tommy Upton won the game Tuesday 6-5 with an eleventh inn- ing homer. HOLLYWOOD 4, YANKEES 3 HOLLYWOOD, Calif.-The New York Yankees lost their third straight game yesterday when Ed Sauer of the Hollywood Stars Wings Stop New York's Playoff .Bid NEW YORK - (A) - The New York Rangers were liminated from the National Hockey Ieague play- offs last night by the league champion Detroit Red Wings, who breezed to a 4-1 triumph before a sparse gathering of 5,837 fans. As the Rangers were knocked out the Boston Bruins in Boston became assured of a playoff berth by whipping last place Chicago 6-5. JOHNNY PIERSON whipped home the winning third period goal for Boston just as it was an- nounced that Detroit had defeat- ed New York. The Beantowners are now en- trenched in fourth place, three points ahead of New York, which has only one game re- maining. And Toronto shut out Montre- al's Canadians 2-0 in Maple Leaf Gardens to narrow the Vezina Trophy battle and give Boston hope of finishing third. * * * TERRY SAWCHUCK of Detroit let in one goal while Turk Broda posted the shutout in Toronto which closes the Red Wing rookie's margin over Maple Leaf competi- tiop to one slim goal in the red hot battle for top goalie honors.

JOE DIMAGGIO . .. having trouble * , * 'homered in the tenth inning to give the Pacific Coast League team' a 4-3 victory. The blow, Sauer's second homer of the game, came off a pitch by Max Peterson, fourth New York hurler.

Wildcats Tackle St. John's; Illini Face NC State Tonight NEW YORK - (P) - Adolph Rupp, the drawling Kansan who fashions basketball gargantuas at the University of Kentucky, brought his Wildcats to town yes- terday and found them in a fami- liar role-top-heavy favorites to win the NCAA championship. "I would be deeply embarrassed if I ever came to New York, even with a grade school team, and didn't find myself favored," the Kentucky colonel said in his mo- lasses brogue. We're always fa- vored, but I don't see it." * * * KENTUCKY, leader of the final Associated Press poll, and St. John's of Brooklyn, ninth ranked nationally, will clash in the fea- ture semi-final game of the east- ern NCAA eliminations tonight at Madison !Square Garden. Illinois' Big Ten champions will oppose revitalized North Carolina State, winner of the Southern Conference, in the other game, opening the pro- gram at 6:45 p.m. (CST). Illi- nois is favored. Meanwhile, the western NCAA, running a round behind, will com- plete its semi-final bracket at Kansas City with Oklahoma A. and M. playing Montana State at 8 P.M. (CST) and Washington op- posing Texas A. and M. in the windup. * *' * RUPP ACKNOWLEDGED that his great Kentucky team didn't measure up to expectations in the first round at Raleigh, N.C., Tues- day night although bearing Louis- ville, 79-68. "We aren't as strong as when we came here early in the winter and beat St. John's, 43-37," the Kentucky coach declared. "Los- ing Hirsch hurt us. We have stopped this big boy, Bob Zawo- luk (St. John's center), twice in the last two years. I'm not sure we can do it again." 3 ulletn KANSAS CITY-(A")-Kansas State sweated out a 61-59 vic- tory over Arizona last might in the opening game of the west- ein N.C.A.A. basketball tourna- ment. All the contest thrills were packed in the final 10 minutes when the Big Seven champions blew a 21-point lead except for the winning margin. In the second game Brigham Young University, striving for basketball's double crown, sput- tered to a 68-61 victory over much-maligned San Jose State.. The two games opened the western NCAA playoffs. F r a n k McGuire, young St. John's coach, said his boys are crippled and tired but are looking forward to another shot at the Wildcats.

Over 100 of Americas top gym- nasts from 25 schools are expected to compete in the first conclave of its kind ever held in Ann Arbor. AT THE PRESENT time 19 schools have entered with eight Big Ten squads,, Army and the University of California among the entrants. Illinois is the defending team champion while the West Point- ers hold the Eastern Intercollegi- ate crown and California is the proud possessor of the Pacific Coast Conference pennant. When the two day championship competion commences, the Illini will be looking for their sixth title. No other school has enjoyed the success that the Champaign- Urbana lads have. In the non- Illinois years the winners have been Penn State, Temple, and the University of Chicago (now de- funct in most sports). THE ONLY Western Conference Predicts More Live Grid TV NEW YORK-(A')-Tom Hainil- ton, chairman of the NCAA's tele- vision steering committee, said yesterday he expected consideraole live television of football games newt fall. He predicted also that. after the colleges have explored the situation during the present one-year mora- torium, they probably will return to tezevision on a widespread scale -but fully controlled. "This is a new, wonderful medi- um," added the Pittsburgh athletic director. "We have to live with it but we have to see to ,it that too many of our schools don't get hurt." Hamilton and three members of his committee met with television officials last night to discuss the problem, one of the largest facing the nation's universities. NEWT LOKEN . . . busy host * * * institutions not sending squads to the gym tourney are Northwestern and Purdue. In charge of the tournament is Michigan's affable mentor Newt Loken. Loken is busy as the proverbial bee -these days what with entries coming in left and right and with prepar- ing the Intramural Building for the gymnasts. Before the meet's commence- ment Loken has planned a coach- ing clinic, which is the first tin* that a clinic has been held in con- junction with the National Meet. THE PRELIMINARIES will be- gin on Friday with the finals to be concluded on Saturday evening. The best eight men in each event will compete in the finals with six in each event counting toward team scores. * * * H A R R Y COMBES, Illinois coach, said he had a bunch of "hard-nosed" kids with a lot of scrap but expected to find a tough foe in N.C. State. "Two seniors, Ted Beach apd captain Don Sunderlage, have kept us going," Combes added. "It's fortunate we've had two such good men to go with our sophomores." The tall Illinois team opens with three sophomores in the lineup- Clive Follmer, Irv Bemoras and Bob Peterson. Beach, a long- range sharpshooting sub, and Sunderlage scored 47 points be- tween them Tuesday night in beating Columbia, 79-71. North Carolina State's Everett Case pulled into town also yes- terday singing the praises of his sophomore substitutes. Bill Ku- koy, a third-strainger from Gary, Ind., rang in 27 points in N.C. State's surprise 67-62 victory over Villanova. She'll Like Your Looks In An ARROW WHITE SHIRT WINNING SPIRIT:, NCAA Puck Title Highlights Heyliger's 7th Year as Coach Chalk up another successful season for Vic Heyliger, coach of Michigan's 4 national champion hockey team. When his Wolverines pushed aside Brown University, 7-1, in the final game of the NCAA tour- nament at Colorado Springs, it marked the second time that a Heyliger-coached team had won the national title and put the fin- ishing touches on another great year. * * * WHILE HIS Wolverines have made a habit out of winning 20 or more games the last few sea- sons, in both 1949 and 1950 they had seemed to be able to win everything except the NCAA play- offs. Both years, after having won the NCAA playoffs In 1948, _-ichigan had been favored to repeat but had been dropped out of title contention in its opening game. In 1949 it was Dartmouth that stopped the Wolverines and the following year, Boston University. Both times Michigan had to settle for consolation honors. ** * * BUT THIS YEAR Heyliger, in his seventh year as Michigan hockey coach, put together a fighting and determined club that poured through 197 goals (a new record for the Wolverines) in win- ning 20 regular season games while losing but four and tying one. And then came the NCAA tournament and Michigan was favored to win again. Heyliger and his 14-man team arrived in Colorado Springs and immed- iately got down to the serious work of bringing home the na- tional title. And in a well-planned and well- executed series the title returned to Ann Arbor after three long years. THE NCAA tournament victor- les brought Heyliger's seven year record to the outstanding total of 118 games won, 32 lost and seven tied. So impressive was the Michi- gan victory at Colorado Springs that Heyliger's name will be high on the list for the newly inaugur- ated "Coach of the Year" award for the outstanding coach of col- legiate hockey. The winner will be announced at the next meeting of the Hockey Coaches Associa- tion.
