DAVID P. Tracy, psychologist, lecturer and author, has taken on a tough assignment in his effort to rebuild our Browns through the application of "science of the mind."

Tracy is the "man of the age." But wait. Dr. Tracy arranged a demonstration of his psychology as applied to competitive athletes. The result should not offer too much encouragement to members of the "Browns Boosters' Club." The first major test in sports was covered by Newsweek in its Feb. 20 issue.

Coach Vein Bradburn's Central team, paced by Don Mirth and Freddy Frischman who scored 14 and 12 points, respectively, had mighty Kirkwood worried until the final three minutes. At that point, its was still anybody's game with Kirkwood leading by three points. Central's attempts to get the ball enabled the Pioneers to hit for six straight free throws. 20 For Dan Finch Dan Finch with 20 points and Steve DeStaebler who scored 15 led Kirkwood's attack.

C. (45) Psychology vs- Dr. Tracy was quoted as follows: "To guarantee results In a given game, I must talk to a team at least six times." Now. there's the cue for Manager Taylor and his squad as they go through their training paces at Burbank, next month. Dr.

Tracy should schedule at least six conferences with Zack and his athletes. Any number under six, and the New Yorker will not admit failure in his efforts. New Era IT IS NOT OUR DESIRE TO pitch cold water on Dr. Tracy's experiment with a major league ball club the Browns, especially. If Dr.

Tracy can put the Brownies into a first division trance, that will be something. Our Sportsman's Parkers have been deep in the second division since Luke Sewell's champions of 1944 dropped to third place the following season. After that, seventh, eighth, sixth and seventh. A new era In baseball. Indeed.

Complete Change DR. TRACY HOLDS THE baseball world right at his finger tips. If he comes through, the game will be revolutionized. The" procedures of the past will be discarded. Managers, coaches and scouts will be fired.

Prepping schools and camps for young talent will. be unnecessary. Dr. Tracy will 'put an end to all that if he delivers. How about the major league stars of today? What, pay Ted Williams $125,000.

Joe DiMaggio $100,000. Ralph Kiner $65,000. Lou Boudreau $65,000, Stan Musial $50,000. and so on down the line? That would be ridiculous. The trick would be to go out to Forest Park, pick yourself a group of guys named Joe; put them in major league uniforms, and then press the buzzer for Dr.

If they ever get together Hickey would use his first team only about two minutes. I have sug- gestion to offer, however, which ought to solve the problem of Billi- kens and Bears. St. Louis U. could play the Bombers and Washington U.

could take on the Flyers. This should provide a dose game because the Flyers, in all probability, have never plaj-ed basketball. To keep the score down the Flyers should be made to use pogo sticks. ED SWEENEY JR. 4 Just a minute while we think this one over.

1 DEAR BILL: I'd like to get in my two-bits worth against those so-called Brownie fans. How come they never go to the ball park? The Browns need paying fans, not alleged fans who clutter up your columns with praise for this broken-down outfit. After working at Sportsman's Park for five years and watching hundreds of games in which the Browns attempted to play ball, I have come to the conclusion the team is not of major league caliber. And it's a sure thing you don't win pennants by selling the best players on the club. G.

A. W. It's the neatest trick of the half -century if any club can do it. DEAR BILL: Those Browns' deals for Bob DUlinger and Gerry Priddy really had me fooled until the other day. I thought those rookies Bill and Charley DeWitt kept talking about were something.

But as soon as I got a look at their records I saw I was mistaken. How in the world does anyone expect fellows like Charlie Grant, who hit .239 at San Antonio, and Hank Arft, whose average at Baltimore was .224, to produce in the majors? There's a rumor, you know, that the pitching is a LITTLE tougher up here. p. M. The surprising thing, though, is that Arft didn't find it that way when he was up before.

He was batting around .240 with the Browns in 1948. DEAR BILL: This probably will bring an argument from some Joe who never saw a basketball game, but here goes, anyway. I have seen the Lakers play three times this season and what I cant figure out is the advantage given George Mikan when it comes to calling fouls. In the game with the Bombers last Thursday, Mikan was fouling Ed Macauley constantly during the first period and part of the second by backing into him and also using his elbows. When Ed would get tired of being pushed around and fight back a little bit a foul would be called on him.

Also, I am of the opinion that the Laker offense slows up for Mikan. Be a big, clumsy guy and have the officials on your side and anybody can be a high scorer. Officiating in the pro basketball league stinks. BASKETBALL OFFICIAL After watching that sorry exhibition last Thursday night there are a lot of us who agree with yon on the officiating part, at least. DEAR BILL: Ts Fred Saigh still crying about that $100,000 bonus deal Pittsburgh made with the high school player? If he is I've got a suggestion for him.

Why doesn't he take part of the money the club has been making and buy the players some washtubs so they can stop line drives when the Dodgers and the Braves come to town? The best I can see for the Cardinals is third place this year, because the only players Eddie Dyer will use are Texans. It looks as If Harry and Gabby can start wailing right now. RICHARD SHARTS You've certainly got the old hatchet out early, Dick. DEAR BILL: We were having a little argument about which sport is the leading one in the matter of paid attendance and also which is the top sport in the nation. Can you help us? KEITH EPPERSON, Sumner, Mo.

On the matter of paid attendance, no authentic records are available. However, a good guess is football college, high school, etc. since there are so many more teams playing to large crowds. One authority lists basketball, however. By "top" sport I presume you mean most popular.

Some record books list basketball because of the tremendous number of participants. Almost every high school and a good many elementary schools go in for basketball. oi-w, wun me uutchman's Wayne Ortmann connecting for 20 points and Clayton had little trouble with St. Francis de Sales, 42-29.

Francis had been defeated in 10 of its 15 games. City College is the No. 7 team in Dick Dunkel's ratings among eastern cage varsities. Psychology, if used correctly, can turn the scales, can lead an Inferior team to victory over the champ, says Dr. Tracy.

As reviewed bv Newsweek. Dr. Tracy walked right into the lion's den, so to speak. He gave the members of the St. Francis team a Grade A lesson in "how to beat the other guy." All the razzle-dazzle stuff In Dr.

Tracy's act was fired at the St. Francis team. He told them to relax, to forget about City College, "to stress an irresistible desire to win and you will win." Who Won? DR.
