Stevens Point, which finished In a three way tie for fourth last Saturday at Wisconsin Rapids, with Merrill and a surprisingly weak Eau Claire team, could rise up and cause a stir in several departments but only with a supreme effort and especially in the distance events. Merrill, Rhinelander and Anti-go are of an unknown quality, though Merrill's Harley Ridgway could give the Bluejays a victory in the high Jump.

Bill Lillard, the on during the winter season, and sophomore Bob Devlin, Chicago, Pacelli Nine Has 7 Games On Schedule The Hawks, Btung by their home court loss, mapped a more relaxed style of play. "We were pressing too much so as not to make mistakes and the Celtics couldn't do anything wrong in the last game," St. Lou-Is Coach Alex Hannum said. "We'll be a different team tonight." Russell, the 610 former All-America, has been declared through for the playoffs because of an ankle injury suffered In the ly man ever to win three ABC titles in one tournament will be 111. Cotton, the 1957 Big Ten in MADISON The University of Wisconsin's outdoor track team will have its moments in the coming outdoor season, but most of the highlights will be individual, rather than team, as Coach Riley Best has a collection of nine let-termen, including the defending Big Ten 440 yard champion, but little depth to go along with them.

The Badgers placed ninth in the Big Ten indoor meet last month, but Best feels the Badgers can better that finish outdoors and for several reasons. One, Jesse Nixon returns in the 440 yard run where he won the conference championship last year In 48 seconds on a wet track. Nixon was unbeaten indoors in the 440 yard run, but in the Big Ten meet placed third in the 600 yard run, being timed faster than the old record of 1:11.3 in a race and play a vital role in the mile relay, too. Secondly, good strength in the high jump, where veteran Sam Mylin, team captain, from Sterling, 111., returns for, his final competition outdoors, and in the weights, where Tom Peters will hold forth in the shot put and discus. Best feels that Peters can handle both events well, and if the strong Glen Ellyn, Illinois boy works hard, can accomplish the task, ahd add vital points to the Wisconsin cause in the discus, strictly an outdoor event.

Peters finished In the Big Ten shot put event last month with a a toss of 51 feet five inches, but that, is far from his best throw of 53 feet 5 inches set two years ago as a sophomore. Thirdly, Best may have uncovered a fine half-miler in Milwaukee's Dan McKinney, who placed ths feature attraction, will be door 880 yard champion has shown flashes of his old form in mars of Chicago take their shot at the $2,500 first-place money of practice to date, and may be on Seven games have been lined the way back. Best hopes so. the open division. Also counted upon for points in his specialty is junior letterman en or nine games over a recent stretch.

In contrast, the Boston Red Sox have been burning up the "grapefruit league." Chicago's pitching strength is not easily recognized in exhibitions where starters seldom work a complete game. Detroit has been on a "shakedown cruise" during the spring. Manager Jack Tighe has been sweating out the big move of Harvey Kuenn to centerficld and Billy Martin to shortstop. The Tigers have been bouncing around at the bottom of the exhibition standings but may straighten out when the season opens. A sore arm that kept Tony Ku-bek out of action for a week delayed Stengel's experiment of Ku- fthird game at St.

Bob Guerts, Green Bay, who has Beogfe Club Meets At Red Rooster At 7:30 Tonight developed into a fine high and lew-hurdler, and who is expected where the winner won in 1:10.2 for a new conference mark. Nixon, who added the Central Collegiates title, and placed fifth in the NCAA last year, should be even better outdoors this year, to give the Badgers good repre sentation in these events. Work up so far for Pacelli High School's baseball team, whtch opens its season here April 25 against Marshfield Columbus. Brother Cyril, the team's coach, said a few more games may be added to the schedule later, The State Catholic Tournament will be played at Menasha May 23-24-25, and the Cards will be shooting for another trip to the invitational meet.

The Badgers have a strictly "away" schedule for the outdoor season, due to the enlargement of Camp Randall Stadium that eliminated the running track, and the building of a new track that won't be ready until 1959 along the Lake Mendota shore in the vicinity of Guy Lowman baseball field.

The addition of Early Wynn as a starting pitcher and Ray Moore as a silod man in the bullpen has given Manager AI Lopex a lift at Chicago. The White Sox pitching staff already was well manned by Billy Pierce, Dick Donovan and Jim Wilson. Although Ted Williams did not even appear as a pinch hitter, Boston won 13 of its first 17 games. When Ted gets ready to go on opening day, Manager Mike Higgins will have the best outfield in the league with Williams, Jimmy Piersall and Jackie Jensen.

-The Detroit experiment continues with Milt Boliing now available to back up Martin at short if needed. The big punch in the Tiger lineup is Al Kaline. Tighe counts on a batting comeback by Keunn and expects the veteran Jim Hegan to bolster his catching. Trader Frank Lane is changing the facefof the Cleveland club. Larry Doby Js back again.

So is Minnie Minoso, the big one who got away as a rookie. Lane has been grabbing pitchers off the waiver list to help Herb Score and Bob Lemon. The loss of Vic Wertz who fractured an ankle was a heavy blow to the home run department. From this perch, it looks like a two-way fight between the Yanks and White Sox, the hitters against the pitchers. Boston could make the grade if the pitching comes through big, especially the lefthanders.
