Snyder eyed by Giants By TED MEIER Associated Press Sports Writer Duke Snider apparently is the left-handed slugger the San Francisco Giants figure will bring the National League pennant back to Candlestick Park this season. The 1962 NL champions who dropped to third place in 1963 are reported to have started negotiations with the New York Mets in an effort to get Snider.

The Duke, one of the few active major leaguers with more than 400 homers to his credit and now in the twilight of his baseball career, was sold to the Mets by the Los Angeles Dodgers a year ago. The Giants need a left-handed pinch hitter who can hit the long ball to replace the southpaw hitting of catcher Ed Bailey traded to Milwaukee during the off-season. And the 37-year-old Snider still is dangerous at the plate as evidenced by his 14 homers, three triples and eight doubles for the Mets last season. What sort of a deal the Giants offered the Mets for Snider was not known and there was no immediate reaction from the New York club. The Duke, starting his 18th year in the majors, walloped a home run off Robin Roberts at Miami, Friday night.

TO FAIRBURY Beatrice High will try again Beatrice High, after taking a set-back from the weatherman last week, is slated to launch the 1964 track and field season at Fairbury against the Jeffs Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

Beatrice has one of the thin- est track squads in many a season.

The 28 Orangeman squad includes nine lettermen. One of the strongest events is expected to be the broad jump. Junior Larry Carlson and Senior Jim Hagemeier is each capable of breaking the 22-foot barrier. Carlson leaped In the Nebraska Federation Meet a Lincoln to set a new record his first time out. Hagemeier, a dandy 440 ace, has yet to compete in his pet race.

Both boys are expected to help out in the relays. In the field, other lettermen ixpected to be counted on, inlude: Denny Martz (d i s), ind Joe Armstrong (high jump). letterman Ray Elwood expected to gather points in ic discus. Another letterman is a a dandy threat in he spruits. Hagemeier may take a track at the century vent.

Other lettermen, most of 'em distance runners, are: ic Bales, Clark Besack, Bob Ensz and Ron Siske. Rounding out the squad 28 candidates are: Gary Sanford, Gaylord Zittlow, John Williams, Al Jones, Norm Aden, Gary Griffith, Dennis Hubbard, Ray Hubbard, Brian Hinel, Rich Lane, Bob Johnson, Richard Mahlin, Floyd Miller, Johnny Moon, Dan Ord, Delbert Wardlaw and Gary Weaver. Homesteader Conference teams named Coaches of the two-division Homesteader Conference have, according to Secretary G. A. Young of Sterling, selected all- loop teams for the now closed basketball season.

A first team, a second team and honorable mention list have been selected in each division. The Western Division, of which Odell is 1963-64 champ, is composed of seven schools, the East era Division, 1963-64 champ being Sterling, includes a like number. Balloting was apparently the toughest for the second team in the Western Division. Unlike the Eastern's second team of five players, the Western club includes 7 cagers.

Jay Hook of the New York Mets has mastered the theory of propelling a rocket millions of miles but he still has not mastered the technique of propellitig a baseball 60 feet.

In his manner, Manager Casey Stengel puts it this way: "His pitches just don't go where his mind wants them to go." In his manner, Hook says: "It's my lack of positive" concentration." Whichever is more accurate, the undeniable fact is that Hook, a 27-year-old right-hainder with all the talent needed to win in the majors, has a record of 29-61 for seven seasons. In two seasons with the Mets, Hook has posted 8-19 and 4-14 records. An erudite student of gas dynamics and rocket propulsion who is working on a masters degree at Northwestern, Hook speaks frankly of his problem. "I've been guilty of two things," said Hook, "inconsistency and negative thinking. I have to work on positive concentration.

"Suppose," he continued, I'm pitching to a batter who hit a low outside pitch out of the park on me the last time. I can't say to myself I won't put the ball there again. That's negative thinking. I've got to concentrate on it low and away if that's where I want it. "That's the mental part of he added.

"The actual Mtching of the ball breaks down nto getting good stuff on the Jitch, then getting the pitch to he right spot. You should be able to do both. I've been caught trying to be too careful. That doesn't help either." There are no deserts In Europe.

SUCCEEDS HARP AS HEAD COACH Owens only one to be offered K.U. post By JIM VAN VALKENBLRG Associated Press Sports Writer LAWRENCE, Kan. ew Kansas basketball coach is ed Owens, a bright young as- istant who already has a solid eputation as a soft sell recruiter. The 34-year-old Owens, assistant to former coach Dick Harp the past four yearss, has been hired as head coach.

Wade Stinson, the new Kansas athletic director, said the job wam't offered to anyone else. The new coach has the unanimous support of the players in a petition submitted hours after Harp's resignation Thursday. "Ted is the type of man we wanted and the player petition had nothing to do with it," Stinson said. "He's strong, enthu- (siastic, and a good recruiter." years. He found 6-foot-ll Walt Wesley, a talented sophomore, and played a major part in the recruiting of George Unseld, 6-7 junior, an All-Big Eight pivot.

Owens himself is convinced Kansas will be a top title contender next season after a third place finish this year. "Oklahoma State with a veteran team will be the team to beat but I think we'll have as good a chance as any team to win it," he said. Owens made no effort to hide his desire for the Kansas job. "Kansas has the greatest basketball tradition in the country," he said. Stinson told him of his decision Thursday afternoon and Owens quickly called his mother in Hollis, Okla.

"I told her not.to tell anyone, Owens recruited most of the but she's on an eight-party line," in 'te Owens a 1951 graduate of Oklahoma, and in four years as coach at Cameron a junior college at Lawton, he posted a 93-24 won-lost record. He declined to speculate about a full time assistant, saying "You have to be head man before you start thinking about assistants." But there were persistent reports the job would go to Bob Mulchay, who coached Unseld and his highly-sought brother, Westley Unseld, and 235 at Seneca High School in Louisville Mulchay and Owens are long-time friends, served in the Army together and Owens stayed with him on recruiting trips. Kentucky seeks Westley Unseld as its first Negro player. Kansas sources said Mulchay be hired on his merits, and not as part of any What Else But Sports DON BRANDT is in i 45 miles to train and practice, this weekend, talcing a sprin vacation break from his dutie at South Junior High, Aurora Colo.

However, Den ver's rundown sheets are two colors, one side is (Denver statistics), the other side white, designating opponents. Last summer at Colorado 'U' Don picked up his master's degree.

Conservative Casey isn't saying much, but most managers are reporting, "this could be THE MANAGERS have very carefully and very, very objectively, looked over their charges.
