PROSPECTS: Lopez Sees Chisox Packing 2nd HOME SARASOf Ha, (AP) A Visitor front AriMia bfaced Al Loifefc ift the Chicago White Sox dugout and asked: "I've beeft talking with Birdie Tebbetts in the Cleveland camp and he thinks the Yankees really can be beaten this yeaf. What do ypii think?" grinned and answered: "That is what 1 have been laying for years, took a lot of kidding about it but really meant it. This yeaf 1 think the White Sox and Baltimore are the teams to beat. Of course, we're not overlooking the Yankees." Al's optimistic forecasts have been taken with a grain of salt in the past. But he came so close last year when his Sox finished second, one game behind the Yanks that it may be wise to listen.

left-handers, the -Yankees brought Steve Hamilton out of the bullpen and he beat us twice. They even beat us with Sud Daley, just coming back from affri trouble. "1 mm We will have a little more punch with John maho and Bill Skowron all the way," he said. "1 know last year they were killing us with "It was a funny thing. The Yankees beat us the first 16 times we played them, still we were ahead of them in the standings.

Then we beat them six of the last eight and finished second. "if anything should happen to Ellie Howard they would be in trouble, even more than if they ing should Mickey Mantle of Whitey Ford because they don't have anybody back of Howard. "Our team showed me last year it could bounce back better than any team 1 ever saw. 1 said last year that 98 games would be enough for the pennant. We got 98 but finished second: I'd settle for 8ft again." LOPEZ IS really high on fookie center fielder Kett Berry and a catcher he traded away after winning the 1959 pennant when the club was look- or instant powef.

"We have had tw6 big sut-i prises in training camp," said Lopez. "Tommy John and Tom Agee. John, a left-hander, pitched five shutout innings against the Yankees and might make it as a starter. Agee has been doing a fine job in the outfield." "Our infield should be better. Last year Pete Ward came up with a bad back and we had to shift Don Buford from second to third base, a strange position.

Watd is fine this year and Bu- fofd will be under less strain at second. Ron Hansen at short! and Skowron at first ate the others." The outfield will include Berry in center and Floyd Robinson in either left or center. Danny 2ater or Dave Nicholson could be in left if Nick can conquer his strikeout problem. If Agee makes it he will play right and Robinson will go to left. SMOKV fiUftGESS probably will stay as a left-handed pinch hitter and Lopez may keep Gerry McNertney, Bill Heath or Jim Schaffer behind Romano.

J. C. Martin is a case. The pitching is the solid corps' of the club. Lopez expects Peters to be even better.

Pizarro has been holding out, as usual, oft Puerto Rico, but is expected to be ready by opening day because he pitched all winter. Joel Hot-ten, a 13-gaine winner as a rookie, shows great promise as does Bruce Howard. Johnny Buzhafdt and probably John are the othef starters.

A' pair of home runs one an 'awesome 450-foot blast by Rick Monday and some fine Sports Editor BOB Along The Way Orphans Of The Spring Gef The Big Job Done ALLISON THEY MAY be bright-clad heroes in the fall, when the band plays and the rockets go up. But in the spring they're raggedy and neglected orphans. Of the thousands who pack Sun Devil Stadium- almost any Saturday night in the fall, only a hardy few drop in curiously on Arizona State's spring football practice sessions. And with attention devoted elsewhere at this time of year, tonight's intra- squad game will not exactly call for the special buses from supper clubs. It's a strange contrast.

But a useful one as far as cpach Frank Kush is concerned. "I'm not saying we don't enjoy public attention," says Kush. "There's ham in all of us. Even in practice the kids go better when there are a few people watching. Maybe the coaches do too.

"But the pressure is off. There's no Saturday night staring you in the face, no feeling that you've got to pass up one thing that needs attention because something else is more vital for the game coming up. "We can work on fundamentals as long as we like. We. can give every individual more attention.

The tempo is slower even though we really work harder. We can break the monotony with varied drills. Even though there's not the spice that a game coming up gives, spring practice can be as enjoyable as the players and coaches make it. You have your dull days, but mostly things gb well. "The whole psychological approach is different." MacDondd Named ASC Grid Coach Special to The Gazette FLAGSTAFF Andrew C.

MacDonald, offensive coach for the past five years at the University of Iowa, was named head football coach at Arizona State College today. The announcement was made by Dr. Virgil Gillenwater, executive dean and chairman of the selection committee, and President J. Lawrence Walkup. It is expected the new Lumberjack coach will report and take over spring practice as soon as possible.

MacDonald was highly recommended by Jerry Burns, the Net Queens Reign ALBERT WIN OPENERS rirr relief work by Doug (Judgment) Nurnberg keyed the baseball team's triumph, Monday's home run was his 7th, and he also added a double as he continued to flirt with the .500 mark.

ASKED IF this didn't mean spring football was too valuable to ever think of giving up, Kush turned visibly pale at the thought of such a sacrifice. "I don't know how you could get along without it," he said. "I just know there's no way you can get well.

He is 35, married; and has three children. He is a graduate of Central Michigan University, and has a masters in education from Eastern Michigan.

HE WAS A three-year letterman as a quarterback Central Michigan, and earned three letters in basketball. and two in baseball. He was all-state and all-conference in footbal and all-conference in basket ball, and captain of both th football and basketball teams his senior year. In 1951 he was named as Little All-America quarterback. His coaching experience includes seven years as head coach at Northern High School in Flint, Mich.

In 1956 and 1960 he was named coach of-the year, and his teams won state championships. He was backfield coach at Iowa from 1961 through 1963, and then became offensive line coach. He has been considered a top recruiter in the Midwest for the Hawkeyes. MACDONALD succeeds Max Spilsbury, who resigned Jan. 30 after nine years as Axer By BOB ALLISON Gazette Sports Editor Nancy Richey of Dallas, the nation's tpp-rated feminine player, and defending champion Janie Albert of San Francisco passed their opening tests successfully this morning as the Thunderbird Invitation Tennis Tournament opened at Phoenix Country Club.

Miss Richey quickly disposed of Sue Shrader, Los Angeles, 6-1, 6-1. Miss Albert, daughter of the former football star quarterback and coach, had more trouble with Gwen Buss of Arizona State University, but outsteadied the power-hitting coed, 6-2, 6-4. IN THE first men's match cpmpleted, Chuck McKinley of New York, rated No. 2 in the nation, defeated Fred Drilling, University of Arizona, 6-2, 6-2. Miss Richey's opponent later today was Kathleen Harter of Seal Beach, who won over Kathy Blake of La Jolla, Miss Albert was to meet Carol Aucamp of St.

Louis, Twin Bill For Canyon Grand Canyon College's baseball team, now 64 after dropping two games to Ohio Stat University earlier in the week, I meets the University of Colorado in a doubleheader tomorrow at 1 o'clock on the Antelopes' diamond. Pat Hendricks and Tommy Paulas are expected to pitch for Canyon while Adrian Mohr and Jim Orr will hurl for Colorado. Hendricks received his first loss in four starts against Ohio and carries a 2.63 earned run average. The Antelopes have three hitters batting over .300 Dave Watkins at .375, Bob Brannon .325 and Steve Bush with .341. Bush leads the team with five doubles and has five RBIs.

He has little time for individual attention to players or even to take a hand in the coaching. In the more informabspring sessions he pften can take a player aside for a talk or step into a line practice for a demonstration, "You get to know everybody so much better," he says. "Withput spring practice, a new sophomore coming into varsity work in the fall would be such a stranger that he'd have to be practically a paragon to be of value to us.

We might never develop his full potentialities, We might know there was football written all through him but we'd never get out that last line." The same thing goes, of course, for those ever-hopefuls, the lads who turn out without scholarships or pther advance notice, "We'd never know what these guys could do without spring work," said Kush. "As it is, there's pne or twp put pf 10 whp'll probably be offered scholarships," SO RAGGED and overlooked as it may be, the spring football squad has value like a diamond in the rpugh.

At a midmorning press conference Dr. Walkup stated, "A major point that attracted the attention of the committee with favor was the fact that MacDonald is able to hold his ambition for his program in line with the potential and growth of the institution.
