Page 4 Major Leagues Crank Up Today With Question Marks It all starts today. Put off for two days by the death of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and the racial disorder existing in many of the nation's cities, the 1968 major league baseball season is scheduled o open today. And what a season it should b-. Washington will be the sight of the annual Presidential opener, although President Johnson is not expected to be on hand. Throwing out the first ball will be reliever Hubert Humphrey. Despite the tension in the nation's capital, 45,000 fans are expected to flock to D.C. Stadium to see Camilio Pascual of the Senators oppose Dean Chance of the Minnesota Twins. With all 20 teams in action this afternoon and evening, the first day of the season pro mises to be as exciting as the rest of the campaign should be.

But the upcoming year should be just as unusual, just as zany, just as suspenseful, and iust as heart-breaking Baseball has a way of outdoing itself. As the season unfolds, many questions remained to be answered. Can the Boston Red Sox do it again? Or was their fabulous rags-to-riches story just a fluke? Before this question can be answered, several others must first be resolved. Can Jim Lonborg come back from an off-season injury? Is Tony Conigilaro finished as a topflight star? In the National League, . the big question is: Were the Chicago Cubs for real last year when they soared to third place in the senior circuit? Or were they just a one-shot ballclub? Injuries raise other ques tions. Can Frank Robinson regain the form which won him the AL triple crown two years ago, after being shelved much of the past season with blurred vision? Can Richie Allen bounce back from serious injury (his arm was severely cut in a car accident) to spark the Phillies? Are Tony Cloinger's arm troubles over? Can Willie Horton and BUI White recover trom leg injuries? Trades, made during the off season, present more ques tions. Can Tommy Davis supply the punch needed.to carry the Chicago White Sox to the AL pennant? Can Zoilio VersaHes plug up the hole at shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers? Will the addition of Jim Bun ning to the Pirate pitching staH carry Pittsburg to the NL flag? Can Sammy Ellis regain the touch he displayed in winning 22 games ifor the Cincinnati Reds in 1966 now that he has 'been swapped to the California Angels? Ana, oi course, tnere are other questions which can only be answered by the passing of the season. ' : w Has time finally caught up with Willie Mays? Or will be come back to have ; a fine season? Are veterans Eddie Mathews, Mickey Mantle, and Ken Boyer finally reaching the end of their great careers? MOVING 4, Durham, N.C. 27703 7i 5 What rookies will make it big this year? Mike Torres, Alan Foster, Hal King, Richie Scheinblum, and Don Money appear to be the best bets. Are the Dodgers still suf fering from the loss of Sandy Konfax to retirement or will they be in the NL pennant fhn-iP this season? Will uie wins shake off the dissension which played havoc with their team last year and be in pen nant contention this season? Will Sam McDowell finally reach the stardom that has been predicted for him since he first picked up a baseball? Can new manager Alvin Dark transform the Cleveland In dians into a pennant con tender? Yes, it all starts today ad what a rat race it should be. Scott Says Qood Defense Earned Oiyunjpie Selection By JACK WILLIAMS Special to The Daily Tar Heel Charlie Scott, who dazzles basketball' fans with his of fensive tricks, used the oldest weapon in the game good defense to earn a spot on the United States Olympic team. The University of North Carolina sophomore was selected at Albuquerque, N.M., last weekend from a field of more than 80 players to represent this Country on a 12-man squad at the Olympics at Mexico City in October. "I believe that defense had a lo tto do with it," Charlie said upon his return to Chapel Hill. "I'm just fortunate that I played under a coach at Carolina this season who stressed team play and good defense. That's what they were looking for at Albuquerque." Scott was one of four players chosen from NCAA schools. Others were Ken Spain of Houston, Jo Jo White of Kansas and Bill Hosket of Ohio State. Bypassed were such celebrated sophomores as Pete Maravieh of LSU, Rick Mount of Purdue and Cal Murphy of Niagara. "I don't committee much for Scott says, for team who was think was the Olympic looking so individuals," great "They were looking players. Everybody at the trials was a good shooter, but some didn't seem to help their team very much."

But he's much prouder of the fact that he also led the tournament in 'assistls with a total of 23. And all the members of the Olympic committee praised Charlie for his great defensive work. Charlie's team played three games in the tryout tourna ment, losing the opener and then winning two in a row. Scott scored 15 points in the "first game, then- came back with 24 and 20. "I felt that I played reaT well in the first game," he says, "even ..'though I scored only 15. Then in the second game, I got going. I had a lot of steals in that game. After that, I felt I had a good chance to make it." Scott says most of his field goals in the tournament came on jump shots.

"You dont hear much about some of the players on the team, but believe me, they're good." One in particular who im pressed Charlie was a 6-8 center from TTinidad Junior College in Colorado named Spencer Haywood. "I'd like to see that fellow against Lew Alcindor," Scott said. "He can jump higher than any man I've ever seen. In the three tournament games, he must have blocked 18 or 19 shots." : Scott also was impressed with the play of 6-3 Jo Jo White of Kansas. "He's an exceptional player," said the Carolina star. Charlie roomed with Cal Murphy at Albuquerque and made friends with most of the other players on hand. "It was a fine group of athletes," he said. "And it was an honor for me to compete with them." Scott did, however, question the Olympic committee decision to hold the trials in Albuquerque. "We drew 'about , 400 fans in : the afternoon," he said, "and about 1,000 at night. I think we would have had a lot more interest than that if the trials had been held here in North Carolina. I don't think there's a better basket ball, area in the country than right here in the state." Blue-White game on May 4. The Tar Heels have held two scrimmage games thus far this spring with the defense shining in each of those con tests. Offensively, the Tar Heels have been led by last season's starting quarterback, Gayle Bomar. He leads a team Coach Dooley hopes will be a con siderable improvement over last year's 2-8 team.

Stenburg won the two mile race in the recent South Carolina State Record relays. He finished 4.3 seconds ahead of his nearest challenger. Howser won both the 120 and 440 intermediate relays in that meet. Among his challengers was Tennessee famed Richmond Flowers.
