All-American Ray Self, center; and Ernest Williams will present the biggest problem to the coaches. Williams was the Tiger’s top quarterback during the 1956 and 1937 seasons. Self was a stellar performer at center ha ving been shifted from full hark to that position for the 1957 campaign. That this move was a good one Is substantiated by the fact that Self became the (ollege’s first All-Ameri can performer. Starling and Lewis were both starters jn the 1957 squad. During spring training the Tigers’ coach ing staff began grooming Willie Neal, 200-pound Oak Park high School luminary for the signal calling post. Neal has all of the equipment to make a top-ranking signal caller and could develop in to one of the nation s best in the corning season. Tiger coaches also are considering the shifting of Ar chie Cooley, 198-pounder from Laurel and Aaron Jones, 393-poun dcr from Starkville to center. The best, bet, at this stage is thst Cooley will remain at fullback and Jones, an end, will be shifted to the pivotal post. Prune and shear Christmas trees for top U. S. grades.

Os Raleigh: American Baritone Captivates Europe If the American music public; doesn't know a great deal about Henry Blackmon, Jr., it. certainly ought to. Europe does. This gifted young baritone, who , hails from Raleigh, N.

This he will do—on Sept. 19—and : it is safe to say that American i prestige will improve a? a result.

Bragan accus ed the Cuban outfielder of falling to run out a double. This deeply grieved Minoso who prides in his unflagging de votion to baseball. He has been a never-say die player in hi* eight seasons in the major lea gue. He is a nr,us who loves the Same, gives his all and a little hit more. There was a time in the 1954 season, when he en joyed his grectlest season with the Chicago White Sox, that Minnie w <- held together with a couple vards of tape. BEAN INC VICTIM Almost each season, Minnie has been b< d. But these mishaps do not dele im from action. For a j spoil th aeon. He rode the bench j because < an injury. He was a j deeply hui. player.

Tha aii right for some players, bin it Minoso He strives for the .300 mark. In recent games, he has given in dication that he will reach. He had j an 11-game hitting streak going lasi ; week and h-- "cached .296. In one j stretch, he < .mooted for 17 hits in 37 trips for a 459 clip, A AM MAN But Mino value to his team hasn't alwa >ecp measured in his contributions in terms of hitting' and fielding Minnie ha» away with bis teammates. Giv en at times to zany behavior, he provides comic relief when things arc going bad. His hustle is an inspiration. Minnie, when with Chicago, was the heart of the "Go-Go” hite So<. He was the cne player Frank I Lane wanted when he became gen ! era! manager of the Cleveland In ; dians. He was the one player Paul Richards, then manager of the White Sox. wanted when Larie ac , quired him in that big trade in 1951. “First division, nuts," said Rich ards. "Players lil e Minoso win pen nants.” The White Sox. of course, didn't win any penhats with Minoso.

He was 1 the keystone of some mighty good vears there. He's , got plenty left, hut he Isn’t as i good as he was then.’’ If the Minoso trade turned out good for the White Sox In 1951, it was a barter for the Indians.
