24 The Possibility that Toronto might replace Los Angeles in the muddled American League expansion plans cropped up again today in the wake of Indications the National League will reject the alternate proposal of nine-team, Interlocking schedules in 1961. First reported by the Associated Press a week ago, the Toronto idea had gained with its own plans to expand to 10 teams in 1962 with the addition of Houston and New York. credence with a statement from Commissioner Ford Frick that the baseball law requiring notice by Oct. 31 U.S. Trounces Philippines in Tennis Action for moving into minor league territory the following sea son did not apply in Toronto's case.

"That rule applies only to when an outside group wants to step in and acquire minor league territory," Frick said. "In this case trict team, Carson making the all-star first team for the third season. Turner made the team as a sophomore. He, Gunn and Graham were on the second team last year. Hood, an outstanding basketball and baseball player as well as an ace footballer, caught 25 passes this season.

The 6-3 flankman was also one of the district's top punters and placement kickers, accounting for 18 points with his toe this season. Brown, like most of the Neville team, played his first season as a starter this fall and made it a good one. He played both offense and defense, rushed passers well and was his club's best pass receiver. Jonesboro Hodge's Jim Mc-Keithen narrowly missed a first-team berth and made the second team. Herschel Walker picked up one first-team vote and joined McKeithen on the second unit.

Burton is the all-star team's biggest member at 225 pounds. Quick for his size, he could usually be counted on to open a big hole for the fast Neville backs and was a hard-hitting defender. Newman is another big boy, weighing in at 210 pounds. The veteran lineman was a defensive standout all through the season By BOB ANDERSON Monroe Morning World Two backs from Neville, menv bors of one of the highest-scoring foursomes in the state, headline the 1960 all-district 2-AA football team selected by league coaches in co-operation with the Louisiana Sports Writers Assn. Quarterback Beverly Franks and halfback Neal Gunn, top offensive threats on Neville's unbeaten defending state championship team, were the only unanimous choices on the all-star club.

Five members of the Neville team, holders of a 21-game winning streak, were named to the first team. In addition to Gunn and Franks, the Tiger honorees are end Sperry Brown, tackle Jack Burton and guard Robert Turner. Jonesboro Hodge and Ruston, the second and third-place district elevens, each had three players on the team. Jonesboro-Hodge's representatives were tackle Fred Newman, center John Blake and back Ronnie Carson. Ruston's all-district players were end Jerry Hood, guard Allen Carpenter and back Ronnie Graham.

Hood and Carson are the only repeaters from the 1959 all-dis Jack Kent Cooke, who owns the (Toronto) International League and turned in a great game against Neville. Jack Youngblood of Neville and Haynesvilk's Randy Webb are the second team all-district tackles. Ruston's Carpenter operated at guard on ofense and backed the line on defense. A star trackman, he is unusually fast for a lineman and racked up ball-carriers all over the field. Turner was another reason for Neville's terrific offensive record with his crisp blocking up front.

On defense, he played end, guarding his position well and gave passers a rough time. This seawn is his third as a Neville starter. Turner's guard companion, Bill LaFrance, made the second team along with Ruston's Ronnie Jck-son, an offensive tackle and defensive guard. Jonesboro-Hodge's Blake missed being a unanimous choice at center by one vote. He accounted for an average of 15 tackles per game in earning his third letter and was an outstanding blocker.

Neville's Tom Scott got one first team vote and made the second team. Jonesboro Hodge's Carson and Ruston's Graham are similar in many respects. They have the same first name, weigh about the same (Graham 185, Carson 180) and both were the offensive workhorses of their teams. Graham gained 833 yards rushing for a 5.3 average and was a capable passer. Carson lettered five years at Jonesboro-Hodge, picked up 735 yards in 146 carries and was always called on for the vital short yardage.

24 (UPD Dennis Ralston and Chuck McKinley, a pair of teenagers taking on opponents almost twice their age, completed a 5-0 sweep of The Philippines today in the Davis Cup Interzone semi-finals. With the series already clinched after the youngsters won the doubles yesterday, Ralston, a 18-year-old youngster from St. Louis, polished off Raymundo Reyro, 6-2. 6-0, 7-5 in a little more than one hour. Deyro, 32, is national singles champion in his country.

McKinley, a 19-year-old budding star from Bakersfield, had a little tougher time against Felicissimo Ampon, dropping one set to his 40-year-old opponent. But he rallied to score a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 victory. The American Davis Cup team next faces Italy at Perth on Dec. 9-11 in the interzone final with the winner challenging Australia for the Cup at Sydney on Dec. 26-28.

In the past five seasons the best the Baby Bengals managed was a 6-6 tie in 1957. Tulane has an opportunity to halt the Tiger success Friday night. Coach Joe Blaylock's Green Wave yearlings, the best in many years, have posted impressive wins over Perkinston junior college, 32-0, and the Alabama freshmen, 19-0. The Baby Bengals of coach Raymond Didier have been less successful, losing 32-7 to Mississippi State and beating the Ole Miss frosh 17-13. With several top linemen injured, the Tigers may look to 155-pound quarterback Bain Slack and his accurate passing in an effort to crack into the Greenie end zone.

Slack completed 10 of 18 passes for 101 yards and the winning touchdown againt Ole Miss. Two of his top receivers, end Jerry Young and halfback C. J. Gaudin, are injured and may miss the final game. Another top end, Billy Truax, completed his frosh career after suffering a broken leg against Mississippi State.

The Baby Bengals will also rely heavily on the running of fullback Buddy Hamic and halfbacks Derwood Thomas and Ken Newton to threaten the Greenie defense. LSU has won four of the last five games, including the 6-6 deadlock in 1957. The Baby Bengals won 21-6 in 1955; Billy Cannon led the frosh to a 47-0 win in 1956; LSU won 34-6 in 1958 and 14-0 in 1959.
