a Weaver said. "A player like Be langer will need all the at-bats he can get, and others too. "And while I might want to get Powell off his feet, I can use my designated pinch-runner tor him and still keep him tne eame for the batting he will need. "I want to stretch my pitchers out as quickly as I can without hurting them. If Cuellar has three easy innings tomorrow, I might let him go five or six next timeout." Twins' Leg Broken Weaver expressed himself as "pretty much satisfied with our training program to this point," and said that "the weather has been more than satisfactory." 'We've had a player out a day here and there but have been fortunate in having no serious injuries," he said, pointing to a report that Minnesota shortstop I in an intra-squaa game.

"We haven't practiced sliding in training this spring because I don't feel it's important enough to jeopardize breaking a pitch er's leg or injuring mm in any way," Weaver said. "As for the other's, they either kr.nw how to slide or don know and will slide in their usual n-anners anyway," he added "We will teach the rookies later who need instruction.

Being in the right physical condition when we leave here is of prime impor tance. "I'm not taking either Frank Robinson or Boog Powell to Fort Lauderdale Saturday for the game with the Yanks.

Coach Jim Kehoe, who admit tedly has had other problems to concern him this week, sees 40 points as enough to win. Another observer, however, can see a possibility of 40 for the Terra-pins and second place. Maryland will have the lead' Ing performer in three field events and judging by its show of depth and balance in last week's Atlantic Coast Confer-rnce championships, several others capable of getting points, Williamson Recovering Buddy Williamson, recovering from a sprained ankle wh'ch knocked him out of last week's ACC meet, has done 16-2 in the pole valut; Joe David. 6-10Vi in the high jump ana Lliiott uar-rett, 24-71? in the long jump. Richard Cirner is a 23-foot long jumper and Greg Fries hit a personal high of 6-7 in the high jump last week, while Jack Han-Icy is one of four 58-footers in the shot put.

The Terps probably won't score in either the mile or two mile relays since their good performers are in individual events. Roland Merritt joins Morgan State's Ray Pollard and Notre Dame defender Bill Hurd as the class of the sprint field, while Tyrone Brown led a 2-3-4-5 Terp finish in the hurdles. Winner Jeff Howser and Olympian Erv Hall of Villanova, are the class cf this event, but a Maryland point or two is a distinct possibility. Baker Possibility Kehoe's club, though, figures to have only one scorer in the other running events 600, 1,000, 1 mile and 2 miles. Miler John Baker, who has done 4.07 this winter, may be able to st3y in there with the likes of Villano-va's Marty Liquori and Chris Mason, plus Harvard's Royce Shaw.

Villanova, the defending champ, is loaded in the running events. Coach Jumbo Elliott has Hall in the hurdles and dash; Olympian Larry James in the M0; Irish Olympian Frank Mur Putting you first, Vr nln)' Gordon Jago, coach and gen- eral manager of the Baltimore Bays, yesterday was named coach of the United States World Cup team, which is representing this country in the most presti gious of all world soccer compe tition. The announcement was made in New York by James P. Me Guire, who is chairman of the International Games Committee of the United States Soccer Foot ball Association. Jago, who will assume the ad ditional coaching duties while maintaining his position with the Bays, succeeds Phil Woosnam, who resiped as Cup coach to devote full time to his duties as Executive Director of the North American Soccer League.

Jago had served as Woosnam's assist ant with the United States Cup team, which has already reached the semi-finals of the Central American Division of i the World Cup competition. "I am delighted to take over this United States team," said Jago. "Our first match in the semi-finals will be against Haiti and that match is scheduled for April 20 in Port au Prince." The matches are played on a home-and-home basis and the return go will be slated some where in the United States, probably San Diego, at a subse quent date. El Salvador and Honduras are the other semi-fi nalists in the Central American region and the winner from among these four semi-finalists will advance to the 16-team finals in Mexico City in 1970.

Probably A 46 With scoring on a 6-4-3-2-1 ba sis, a Wildcat total around 4b is likely. Still, anything can happen in this team championship pro gram where runners go for the points and a fifth place by one can knock another's club out of the title. Villanova is strong but the Terps should make it interesting. In addition to Pollard, Morgan coach Ed Hurt has Eric Howard, a 6-10 high jumper, and a mile relay team that has done 3.18.7 this season. The shot put and 35-pound weight will be held in the West Point field house tomorrow morning, with the rest keeps us first.
