Coach Mel Nicks was con fronted with the natural ques tion of what happened to cause this rejuvenation. Nicks promptly summed up the situ ation with four simple reasons.

"First of all," the mentor be gan, "our first team has definitely become established since vnnstmas. tseiore that we were still looking for a regular combination. Next, the boys are playing as a unit how, which, in turn, has accounted for the more balanced scoring. Third, Jerry Lamers' feet seem to be improving again and considerably. "Finally, we played the toughest teams on the sched ule right in the beginning of the season when we weren't settled yet And the boys have come along real well; the younger kids have picked up! exDeripnre and I rion't think (trust officer) with the KeUinose Draces are helping him there is anv auestion but of Kingsford, we are jelling real good now," he finished up.

The "six chances" for Kan sas City that Stengel meant were pitchers Mickey McDer mott, lom Morgan and Rip Coleman, shortstop Billy Hunt er, outfielder Irv Noren and rookie infielder Milt Graff of Denver, all of whom went to the A's. Another player is due KC by April 15. Regarding the two pitchers, righthander Art Ditmar and lefthander Bobby Shantz, he inherited from the Athletics Stengel had this to say: Shanti Arm Okay "I liked Ditmar the first time I ever saw him.

But there's one thing I can't understand. We tried getting hira a year ago after he won 12 and lost 12 and they say he untouchable. So last year he's 12 and 22 and now suddenly they're willing to give him up. "We know all about Shantz' arm condition. But we asked around and find out it's okay." To get the highly-regarded Graff, the Athletics in an accompanying deal sent first baseman Wayne Belardi and pitcher Jack McMahan to Denver which will get an additional player by April 15.

Part of Tuesday's deal backfired and there is a chance that there may be added repercus sions from the trade that was made. In addition to Ditmar tand Shantz, the-ankeesorig- inally received bonus infielder Cletis Boyer, then had to return him to KC later in the day because as a bonus player he is not subject to trade until May 31. "That could have nullified the whole deal," explained a Yankee spokesman, "but we'll get another player in his place by June 15." Buhl Still Unsigned BRADENTON, Fla. fl Pitcher Bob Buhl and General Manager John Quinn of the MilwaukeeBraves talked for two hours Tuesday, but when the meeting ended the right hander was still not signed to a 1957 contract. "It's not enough," said Buhl, reportedly offered a raise.

Quinn explained that further meetings were planned. "We're going to think it over and then we ll have another try at it today," he said.

By MILTON RICHMAN NEW YORK BB American League rivals, led by Cleveland's Hank Greenberg, bluntly accused the Yankees and Athletics of engaging in syndi cate baseball again today, but a defiant Casey Stengel blamed those same critics for "boycotting" him into his latest deal. Greenberg, voicing his annoyance from the Indians' spring training site in Tucson, was the most outspoken against the Yankees over the deal they made Tuesday with! Kansas City. "It must be great to have your own larm system in the same league," he snapped, obviously referring to previous deals between the same two clubs in which such players as JohnnySain, Tom Gorman, Eddie Robinson, Enos Slaughter, Lou Skizas and Bob Cerv figured. Get 'Six Chances' "What are they all crying about?" Stengel snapped back from the Yankees' training quarters at St. Petersburg, Fla, "When we tried to deal with the other six clubs in the league, they threw out a boy cott against us.

Now they're all moaning because we dealt with Kansas City again. Meanwhile, Stengel wasn't at all sure that the Yankees had hoodwinked the Athletics in the deal as a majority of Ready fpr hometown rivals square off in the tournament. As Fossum put it, "That means we have to start getting ready for the tournament right now because we'll only have Monday for last-minute prep' arations and that is hardly enough time to make more than minor adjustments." Thus, the Wildcat mentor made a few changes in our offense" at Tuesday's night practice "without having Osh kosh particularly in mind. We'll start thinking about them tomorrow." Though a defeat such as the 83-55 reversal West suffered at Sheboygan North last Saturday often seriously deflates a team's confidence, Fossum isn't concerned over possible effect on his proteges. "I don't think it'll hurt their morale," he asserted.

"They're taking it like a lesson learned as it should be." Ankle Sprains Also on the encouraging side was the discovery that Tom LaTour and Bill Bero, both handicapped by ankle sprains in recent days, are recovering well and should be ready to go at top speed oth Friday night and in the tournament." On the other side of the riv er, bunby was nurturing the 'hope we can finish in the first division and then doi something in the tournament." however, has no illu sions about Friday nights match at Fond du Lac. "I know we're going to have out hands full, particularly since it will be the last game for Paul Krueger as coach down there." Krueger announced his resignation two weeks ago.

Mary Zephyrs at the Premontre gym. Playing at a .600 percentage since Jan. 18, and victorious in two of their last three conference games, the Cadets, by defeating Coach Ralph Mc-Clone's Zephyrs, could go into regional tournament play with an ll-ll record. A victory over McClone's Fox Valley Catholic conference runnersup also 1 give Ted Fritsch's youngsters their fourth league success as compared to six losses. Cadet chances of topping the Menasha entry certainly must be considered brighter than in the first meeting of the season between the two teams last Nov.

27. The Zephyrs won that one easily. 68-53. After a frigid month of Jan uary, however, the Cadets slowly began to live up to their potentialities and have looked like a first division club in recent games. That aforementioned .600 percentage since Jan.

18 has seen the Cadets compile 474 points while holding their op ponents to 411, an average victory spread of 59-51. Most noteworthy episodes in the Cadet revival, have been decisive triumphs over St Mary bprings and Marinette Lourdes and a heartbreaking overtime loss to St. Norbert defending state Catholic champions. Individually, a major portion of the Premontre offensive punch has been spearheaded by seniors John Fabry and Dom Schilawski. Fabry, with a 16-point eve ning against Lourdes last Friday, boosted his season's total to 303 in 21 games and his conference aggregate to 136 in nine contests.

Schilawski has 259 points for the entire sea-son and 122 in conference play. Also coming fast in recent games have been Dick Cibula, who now has 137 markers for the campaign, and Tommy Thomas, who has 126.

Blackbourn called up seven or eight players last July, including Morris and Burris, for a week of skull work and exercising in Green Bay before they reported to the College All Star camp. Morris and Burris reported but that's the last anyone around here saw of them. They returned to their na tive state after the All Star game Morris for the purpose oi getting his degree in industrial arts and Burris to recuperate from injuries suffered in All Star game practice and continue work on his degree.

At the moment, Burris and Morris represent unexpected help to the '57 Packers. Both have All -American backgrounds and both are highly regarded as pro possibles. Morris is a guard and a possibility as a linebacker. He stands 6-2, carries 235 pounds, and moves well He was an All-Big Seven guard for three years and co-t captained the ISooners in his 'senior season. Morris is maried and I lives in Law-ton, Okla.

Burris stands 16-1 and packs Burris 200 pounds. He was an All-Big Seven back in 1954-55 and starred in two Orange bowl games as a sophomore and senior. Bob is a brother of former Packer guard Buddy Burris, also an Oklahoma standout. During the '55 season Burris carried 106 times for 445 yards, an average of 4.2, and 11 touchdowns. Both players kept in shape some by assisting with foot ball practice at Oklahoma last fall and they'll probably help again this spring.

And, it will be remembered both Stevens Point and Great Lakes already hold wins over the Nicksmen while Lewis went down to defeat at their hands. Illinois Tech, in turn, recently dropped a contest to Lewis by a wide margin.
