Centers Battle By BRUCE B. BAKKE United Press International All eyes will be on Salem tonight as the Illinois high school basketball playoffs resume at state tournament level. This super-sectional will see the state's two top centers in combat. Collmsville's (28-0) 6-5 Rodger Bohnenstichl is rated first in the state followed close- Jv by 6-8 Cliff Berger of the Gen- tralia Orphans (27-1). Bohnenstichl is sporting a 27.3 game average while Berger is close behind with 26.7.

Bergcrs extra 50 pounds and 3 inches could tell the difference on the back boards, and, consequently, the winner of tonight's top game in the state. First round games of the state tourney will be at eight locations across the state --from West Frankfort in the south to Evanston in the north. The winners will go to Champaign for Friday's quarterfinal round of tournament action. a Collinsville, ranked No. 1 in the state by the United Press International board of coaches, is east in the roll of favorite as the 16 survivors head into showdown week.

Lose Key Players Last year in the Salem super- sectional, Centralia trounced Collinsville, 69 to 48, on the way to a second-place finish in the state tourney. The Orphans lost four of their five starters at -Western Univ. Carrodine Leads All League Team DE KALB, 111. (UPD--Inter- state Intercollegiate Athletic Conference basketball scoring champion Coleman Carrodine of Western Illinois University today headed the loop's all- league team. Carrodine, Jim Futrell of Northern Illinois and John Cruser of Illinois state were unanimous selections for the honor team.

Carrodine led the IIAC in with 187 points and an average of 23.4 points per game in eight contests this season. This was his third selection to the all-conference team. Futrell, of Chicago, was the loop's top rebounder with 117, average of 14.6 per game. Cruser, a junior from Canton, had the top free throw percentage, hitting 42 of 47 from the charity stripe. Filling out the six-man first team were Dave Nelson of Central Michigan, Bob Rickett of Eastern Illinois and Mel Lacey of Western Illinois.

Named to the second unit were Stan Breidinger of Central Michigan, Bob Sorrell of Illinois State, Terry Kulp of Northern Illinois, Dick Brown of Western Illinois, W.L. Moore of Northern Illinois, Preston Jordan of Illinois State and Bob Bruder of Central Michigan. graduation but coaci Bob Jones has coped successfully with his rebuilding program. Galesburg a Springfield Lanphier also are matched in a repeat of last year's super-sectional pairing. Lanphier, which finished third in the a knocked over the Silver Streaks, 91-67.

The Lions lost four starters, retaining only tall Calvin Pettit--an All-State Tournament selection. Galesburg, ranked sixth in the state, lost only three times in 26 outings this year. Chicago Crane Tech, ranked second in the state, will be hoping to continue a four year Chicago domination of Evanston super-sectional. Crane plays Evanston at Northwestern University. Tough Games Ahead Little Cobden, a district tournament winner hoping to go all the way, faces high-scoring Pinckneyville at West Frankfort.

Decatur, a fast breaking team that also murders opponents with jumping-jack rebounding, was heavily favored to beat Arcola in the Normal super-sectional. At Rock Island, Alleman is the against Rockford Auburn, making its third straight state tourney appearance. Alleman prefers the underdog role. Two weeks ago the Pioneers tripped two of the state's top 16 teams in regional play. Pekin and Streator both survived heart-stopping thrillers to make it to the Peoria super- sectional.

Pekin edged Peoria Woodruff, 43 to 41, and Streator outlasted Pontiac, 44 to 42. Glenbard East and Bradley, who play at Aurora, both entered sectional competition as "dark horse" teams.

The managers Sunday voted I to adopt the Spalding National 'Everyone' Thinks Cards Are Better (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of 20 dispatches on the 1964 prospects of the major league baseball clubs.) By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor ST. PETERSBURG, F1 a (UPI)--The St.

Louis Cardinals surprised them last season when they finished second and Manager Johnny Keane thinks they can surprise them even more this year. He thinks the club is going to be better, although admitting he has an outfield problem. "Everyone on this club my feeling that we can do better than last year and the only way we can is to win the pennant," Kcane says, "we all know we have a mighty good at it all." Keane, a frank manager who admitted he didn't expect the Cardinals to give the Los Angeles Dodgers the run they did lor the National League pennant last year, philosophized that: "We've got to be better because we know we came so dose last year (the Cardinals finished six games behind the Dodgers), and that has go to boost our confidence." Weakness in Outfield He insists he is not worried About his outfield the one rival managers find in the Cardinal setup. He has a fixture in centerfield in Curt Flood. He thinks Charley James will take care of right field and he's planning on ptatooning the right-handed hitting Carl Warwick and the left- handed hitting Doug Clemens la left.

"I don't think the -outfield is big problem for tt has to be better defensively," Keane He has a set infield. It's Bill White at first base, Julian Javier at second, Dick Groat at short and heavy hitting Ken Boyer at third. First. stringer Tim McCarver and Jim Coker will take care of the catching. It could be the Cardinals will wind up short of pennant caliber in this department.

Pitching figures to be the Cardinals' strong point, although they do not have an outstanding relief hurler. Starting Pitchers Keane is counting on left handers Curt Simmons (15-9) and Ray Sadecki (10-10) and right handers Bob Gibson (18-9) and Ernie Broglio (18-8) as regular starters. His fifth starter could be Roger Craig, the tough luck pitcher of the Mets the past two seasons when he won only 15 games while losing 46. Actually, Keane would prefer to have Craig in his bullpen. And that's where he will wind up if Ray Washburn conquers his arm trouble.

This right hander started off strong last season and then came up with a sore arm, winding up with Tulsa. His top bullpen men will be little Bobby Shantz, the left hander, and Ron Taylor, the right hander. That leaves the veteran Lew Burdette for long relief and spot starting assignments.

Gerber also hit in the double figures, making 14 points on 4 field goals and 6 from the charity stripe.

The play off for third place against Sacred Heart of Granite City was not only a losing proposition, 66-64, it was also tiring going into three overtimes, and frustrating--the local team having beaten Sacred Heart twice in the past three weeks. In the Eastern-Western Division play offs, St. Boniface tripped Sacred Heart 57-51. Then two weeks later in the playoffs for the Alton Deanery championship, St. Boniface beat them 41-36.

Saturday afternoon's game was a different story. The free throw line made the difference. Both teams hit 27 field goals but Sacred Heart was able to make two more free throws to give them the victory. The score stood at 56 all at the end of regular play. In the first overtime both teams scored 4 points and in second overtime both teams scored 2 points.

It was the two free throws of Sacred Heart's Stephens in the third overtime that gave them the 2 point victory. Both Dick Gerber and Tom Mareing hit for 18 points, Mareing making 9 field goals and Gerber hitting 7 from the field and 4 from the charity stripe. Also hitting in the double figures were Wieduwilt with 14 and Hollowich with 11. Coached by Frank W.

(Intelligencer Photo by Clarence Anderson) Hornung Will Have'to Earn His Starting Spot By GARY KALE UP I Sports Writer Paul Hornung, the "Golden Boy" of pro football, cleared one hurdle today but faces another earning a place in the Green Bay Packer starting lineup.

Hornung and Detroit All-Star tackle Alex 'Karras returned to the good graces of the National Football League Monday when Commissioner Pete Hozelle lifted their one-year suspension for betting. A three time NFL scoring champion, Hornung will battle Tom Moore for the job he once held so securely. And if Hornung thinks this is easy, he should recall the story of Wally Pipp. The New York Yankee first baseman took a day off back hi 1925 and never returned to the starting lineup. A youngster named Lou Gehrig took over that day and the rest is history.

Moore was the eighth leading ground gainer in the NFL last season with 658 yards and a 5.0 yard average per carry. He scored six touchdowns. Hornung and Karras were banned from the NFL last April 17 "indefinitely" for placing bets ranging from $50 to $500 mostly on their own teams to win. Terry Lynn Off to Houston, Texas With Southern Illinois'Ball Team CARBONDALE --Terry Lynn, baseball standout for Edwardsville High School and American Legion Post 199 left today for Houston, Texas with the Southern Illinois University baseball team which will begin a 10 preparatory schedule. The Salukis will play 10 TERRY LYNN games in 'Houston on their day road trip.

SID is at present between quarters. Regular season for the Salukis begins on March 28 against Illinois State University of Normal, the game to be played at Mur- phjsboro. All home games for SIU will be at this location this season due to the fact that the new SIU ball park will not be ready for play until the 1965 season. The series in Houston will start Thursday with the first of a four game schedule with Texas University, to be followed by a six game series with Sam Houston University. Lynn fell on his left shoulder about 10 days ago at practice and tore ligaments.

Treatment and therapy have just about gotten him into playing shape and he is expected to see a lot of action at short stop.
