and Sandy Lesnevich of Cliffside, N. were eager for a man-to-man test of their bouncing skill. Their managers were eager too. The only question seemed to be: "For whom shall we fight?" Promoter Sol Strauss wants the match for the Garden. Abe J.

Greene, president of the National Boxing association and commissionei for the state of New Jersey, wants the match'' to headline a charity show, probably in Jersey City.

His aces include his son, Matt III, breast-stroker Bob Sohl and back-stroker Harrv Holiday, all of whom were point-getters at the Big Nine meet. Ohio State, once the terror of the tanks, still has unbeatable strength in the diving events plus two good free-stylers in Bill Smith and Halo Hirose. The Bucks practically are assured of 26 points in high and low-board diving events. Iowa's strength lies chiefly in Wally Ris, Big. Nine champion in both the 100 and 220-yard free style events, and a fast relay team.

Peter and Paul and Milan and the tourney fea tures Mass and Bridgman. Factually, the class A headliner should be billed Vern Allen against Port Huron. The spindly Jackson guard raced for 23 of his team's 46 points last night. At the game's finish, when the Vikings trailed by one point, he stole the ball and beat the gun with a long shot to give his squad a 46-45 win over Flint Central.

Benton Harbor Falters Flint's towering Ingham brothers, Art and Oscar, with 16 and 10 points, respectively, started monopolizing the scoring and it looked like a comeback for Flint before Allen broke up an attempted freeze and made the field house a bedlam with his heroics. The Benton Harbor-Port Huron struggle was another ding dong battle until the eastern Michigan champs staged a runaway in the final quarter for a 43-34 victory. Benton Harbor worked up to a 28-all tie until the Blue Water boys, headed by Guard Lyle Smith with a dozen points, caught fire and never were headed. St Joseph Wins A fast, clever Detroit St. Andrew team had little trouble taking Fremont, 43-31, to win tbje right to meet St: Joseph in the.

bracket final. The minimum five men played most of the game for the parochial outfit until the loss of 16-pointer Paul Plodzinski on fouls forced the first substitution in the final quarter. St. Joseph blasted Bessemer out of the class fisht, leading all the way to build up to a 60-49 final. St.

Center Art McColgan lived up to his billing by amassing the night's high point total of 27 for the parochial school class defenders.

Mass then dominated the third quarter, scoring 20 points- while Merrill was getting two. Roy Lit-tenen with 24 points and Ernest Johnson with 23 markers made it a certainty that college coaches will remember the upper peninsula when scouting for talent. In the other class struggle, Bridgman, four times a state winner, outclassed Dimondale, 54-42. Dimondale managed an 18-all tie at the half but the controlled game played by Bridgman paid off to give the ex-champs a chance to win their fifth title this year.

Only Two Hitting Kell, who led the Tigers at bat with a .320 mark in 1947, and Evers, who topped the Detroit outfielders with .296 last season, have been displaying a lot of hitting talent this year. The supporting cast isn't holding up its end, however, and yesterday's 5 to 2 setback at the hands of the Cincinnati Reds was Detroit's seventh loss in 11 Grapefruit league encounters. Evers banged out three straight singles and Kell had a double and single to account for all but two of the seven Tiger blows off Bucky Walters and John Hitski." That wasn't enough.

RADIO PROGRAMS WMAQ (670) NBC WELL (1400) ABC 10 Clubs Boast Rookies Who Will Stick This Year TAMi'A, Fla. (JP) Time was when a first year player found it almost impossible to break into a regular major league lineup. Today, each of the 10 clubs training in Florida has at least one good-looking rookie slated to open the 1948 season as a full time performer.

Some even have two. The best of the freshman crew appears to be Curt Simmons of the Philadelphia Phillies; Alvin Dark, Boston Braves; Virgil Stallcup, Cincinnati Reds; Lou Brissie, Phila-delohia Athletics; Clarence Beers, St. Louis Cardinals; and Gil Coan, Washington Senators. Vico Listed Other freshmen wno prooably will make the grade include first basemen Paul Campbell and George Vico of Detroit; Catcher Gus Niar-hos, New York Yankees; second baseman Al Kozar. Senators; outfielders Duke Snider and Dick Whitman, Brooklyn; outfielder Hank Sauer and pitcher Howard ox.

Reds, girst baseman Fox, Reds; first baseman Al Flair, Phillies, and pitchers Gerald Staley and Al Papai, Cardinals. Simmons, the 18-year-old "boy wonder," has been hailed by all who have seen him pitch, as a sure-fire big league star of tomorrow. Handed a bonus of $60,000 last June, the lefthanded Simmons won 13 and lost five in Wilmington last season and defeated the New York diants 3-1 in his only big league start. Dark, former Louisiana State university all-around athlete, is another high priced bonus player. The Braves parted with $40,000 to obtain his services.

The fleet-footed Southerner, who prepped at Milwaukee last year and was voted the outstanding rookie in the American association, has won the regular shorstop berth with Boston. Coan, making his third stab at a regular job in the big time, appears finally to have found himself. Plagued by injuries last year and in 1946, the 24-year-old flychaser, has shown no signs of anything wrong with him thus far and is one of the three Senators sure of a job.
