5 Colleges To Send Women Athletes To Sports Meet BEATING THE GUN BY BILL BROWER FOR ASP CHICAGO— -Why wait until the end of the season to choose the 1958 AU-American basketball team?” asks Bert McGrane. of the Dcs Moines tla.) Register. McGrane named six players, v hich, he said, could be chosen any day. Wilt Chamberlain of Kansas; Oscar Robertson, of Cincinnati. Elgin Baylor oi Seattle: Bob Boozer of Kansas State, and John Green of Michigan State as his prime selections. He said perhaps Guy Rodgers of Temple is en titled to replace one oi them. The unusual thing about ms choices is the fact that all are tan players We think that certainly on the fringe of this group are Tom Haw kins of Notre Dtune and Alex El lis of Niagara. Os his choices, McGiane had tins to say; "Height? From tire group you could pick a team that would average a shade more than 6•7 “Scoring power? The five best in this group of six, each scoring •at his average pace would pro duce 136 points a game. The low est scoring combination to be found among the group would av erage 118 points. "Defense? Elgin Baylor is the third best, rebounder in college basketball at the moment. John Green is the fourth best. Wilt the Stilt us sixth among the nation s rebounders. Oscar Robertson is twelfth. “Then there is Guy Rodgers, a magician with a basketball who has mastered the feint, the drib ble the pass and the rebound. “Each of these men is a na tionally known star. Chances iue you couldn’t choose another group of six men who could extend them very much.” McGrane has something Frank ly. we can't see any other col lege basketaball players who are the equal of the aforementioned performers. At present, for ex ample, Ellis—not named by Mc- Grane —js the leading rebounder. One thing that McGrane fail ed to note; With the exception of Rodgers, all of these players will have another year of eligibility; in the case of Robertson, two years. Tan players a decade ago were not nearly the dominant figures they are now in college basket ball. Most of our talent w'as con centrated in New York City schools, principally Long Island University and City College. A few were on Pacific Coast teams, a mong them Dave Barksdale and Davage Miner. About that time. Bill Garrett became the first tan player to perform for Indiana University and the barriers began to melt. Garrett was not the first tan play er in Big Ten basketball history dowa had one during World War II), but he established himself such a solid performer that the unwritten rule against Negroes evaporated. Nowadays, talented Negroes are a most coveted cage commodity All you have to do is look at the records to understand why.

The boys won by the score of 78- 42, while the Fuciuay girls bowed by the score of 19-3. For the Fuquay boys captain, Blue, was the big gun with 26 points to hi* credit but the sur prise of the night was “Big Joe” Burrell who racked, up 16 points altho only p laying in his second varsity game, having been moved up from junior varsity squad. Rosa Cozart was the high scorer Braves Optimistic Over Pizarro, Concerned About Felix Mantilla, B. Hazle MILWAUKEE, Wls. (ANP) The world champions Milwaukee Braves, last week were reported quite elated over the showing of Juan Pizarro, last year’s rookie pitcher, in the Puerto Rican Win ter League, but were somewhat concerned about Felix Mantilla, a second-year man, and “Hurri cane” Bob Hazle, the rookie who burned up the National League with his late season hitting. Ptzzaro is In the pink, John Mullen, the Braves farm director, reported. He has pitched eight shutouts and was rolling along like a steamroller. 6 » * nil But with Mantilla and Ha- diieetion of ,f. T, Gavin played for the occasion. * * * A Big wheels in the Bronco attack were sophomore luminary “Bob” Pornpey from Rocky Mount, who has played all season S 3 a reserve and the sensational freshman regu lar, six-foot Joshua Lawrence of White Plains, New’ York. When, following Lawrence's ini tial two-pointer, the home boys lost sight of the basket, the “Saints” captain, Albert Stirrup, and his co horts, moved in to take charge. They ran the show until the open ing minutes of the second half when “little man” Bob Poropey locped in a sweet one to put the Broncos out ahead. Pegues has had several exe-eil-1 ent games this season. He scored \ 32 points against St Louis and! 27 against Hoiy Cross. When Pitt' | derailed previously unbeaten St. J | John’s of Brooklyn, the Reditten 1 | coach, Jop Lapchick hailed Pe-1 | cues as the difference In the; j game. A team player, Pegues can drive : j and is a good foul shooter. He I ! hits about 43 per cent of his shots ! from the field and is unstoppable | when he hits a hot streak. An outstanding student, he is majoring in engineering and. will be commissioned a second lieuten ant in the Air Force this spring.

A number of outstand ing teams are expected to com pete; among them being Berry O’- Kelly with a 7*l conference record, Apex, D. and B. of Raleigh, Du- Bois of Wake Forest, and the host School Fuquay Consolidated. zle, it was a different story. Mantilla, ihe brilliant short stop who filled in capably when injuries sidelined John ny Logan and Red Brhoendist last season, seems to he Lik ing it easy, Mullen reported. He seemed to feel that he has already made it to the majors and there is no need to prove himself. Hazle’s case was more anxious. Up to last week, the free-swinging lefty was hitting only .180 and had trouble finding himself. Mullen made the report on the players following his return here from the Caribbean leagues.
