FACE I THE EVENING STANDARD, U.MONTOWN, MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1555- Second Half Of League Action Begins Tomorrow. SPORTS STANDARD By TOD TRENT Evening Standard Sports Editor West Virginia fans thought he was great, Pitt fan, thought he was strictly a show-off and neutral observer; ran from one extreme to the other. That was the way sophomore Hot-Rod Hundley lef' them feeling after the Mountaineer-Panther contest a Morgantown Saturday night. The 6-4 eager from Charleston had a bad first half against Pitt missing any number of shots losing the ball on other occasions but he came back in the second half to completely dominate the proceedings with his showmanship tactics and still managed to throw in 25 points for his night's work. The Mountaineer faithful howled with glee as Hot-Rod started clowning in earnest in the second half as West Virginia started to add to a slim first half lead.

Probably the one play that drew the biggest chdrusTof i yells came late in the game after Hundley was knocked to the floor to the right of the basket after taking a shot. Pitt took the rebound off the boards and went' back down the floor while the Hot-Rod stayed where he had fallen, raised to one knee and watched the proceedings down court. A Panther shot and missed and West Virginia cleare( the ball from the board, started it back down the floor i their fast break. Frank Spadafore caught sight of Hunc ley kneeling down under the basket, flipped the ball to him and from his kneeling position Rod threw it through th hoop. The Grand Climax It was the climax for Mountaineer fans and he wen to the sidelines a few minutes later as Coach Fred Schau started clearing his bench end get everyone into the game I DespitI the second half performance of Hundley, however, much of the credit for the West Virginia win falls on the shoulders of Pete White and Willie Bergines.

White played a flawless game under the backboards a's he captured rebound after rebound, many times tipping the ball back through the basket for two points. He talliec 29 points to take scoring honqrs. Bergines, the Mountaineer defensive specialist, was given the job of guarding Pitt's high scoring Ed Pavlick and turned in a good night's work. He also played his usual good game on the backboards. North Union's Frank Zimmovan started at one of the forward positions for the Panthers and played the entire first half but was not used at all in the last 20 minutes.

He picked up four fouls in the first half. He hit for three buckets and six points. The county's other representative on the Pitt squad, Joe Fenwick, Brownsville, saw only limited action. A leg injury slowed him down and Coach Bob Timmons used Beverly Sabol Major League Fight For wrr CapturesTwo Swim Events him only briefly early in the second half. His only scoring came when he put in two foul shots.

Future prospects for both teams, however, are looking up as the two freshmen teams showed a good bit of talent. At least three Pitt first-year men stood put as they gave the undefeated Mountaineer freshmen a battle before losing Chuck Hursh, a 6-4 Irwin product who played on two Class state championship teams in high school, looked good for the Panthers. The Tulsa, youngster, slender 6-3 Julius Pegues and Phil Kleiman, 6-4 from Pittsburgh's Peabody High School, were others that showed more than a norma amoiint of talent for Pitt. A couple of Pennsylvanians, Lloyd Sharrar, 6-9, of Meadville, and Joedy Gardner, Ellwood City, along with Don Vincent of Shinnston, W. were the top performers for West Virginia's freshmen outfit.

Sharrar moves nicely for a big man and his size was th'e thing Pitt couldn't cope with in the preliminary game He was able to control most of the rebounds and put in a number of shots from in close to the bucket. Getting back to the varsity attraction there is no doubt as to the popularity of Hundley at West Virginia. He is the "people's choice." He is still a controversial figure. He has his critics even among the West Virginia faithful who think he should stick to straight basketball and forget about cutting up. There is little likelihood that the 19-year-old will change now though; And West Virginia has no worries about pulling in crowds while he's there.

They'll come to see him whether it's to cheer or jeer.

West Coast Appears Over Each Loop Now Waiting For Others To Make First Move Toward Expansion To Ten Clubs By ED CORRIGAN NEW YORK, Jan, 31 --OB -What once promised to develop into a bitter, down-to-the-wire fight between the tnajor league: for the West Coast territory has evaporated. Both the American and Nation al leagues seem determined the other will make the first move to expand. "Expansion would seem to be two or three years away from what we have learned so far," said Prank Lane of the Chicago White Sox, chairman of a four-man group which has been exploring the subject.

This was more definite than tne National League statement, which only Saturday ruled out any expansion for the present. The American League group finished its business yesterday, and Lane, acting as spokesman, said the league had an "L'nen mind." "We're not saying we won't expand," he explained, "because we can't speak for the league's own- ers. We're just a committee trying to find out whether expansion is feasible. Our report will go to Will Harridge (league president) and he in turn will bring the matter up before the club owners." Lane said that at least "six or seven" cities had made overtures with four showing district possibilities. It's a safe guess that San Francsco and Los Angeles were among those discussed because Lane said that the committee examined a sample schedule including the West Coast.

The schedule involving the two West Coast cities would add 132,012 miles of travel for the eague. At $1.25 per mile, which Lane figured, it would add $10,000 or $12,000 to transportation "or each club. Lane said: "The American League--and I im not speaking for Harridge now -is not seeking new members. Ve're studying expansion to see it would be practical. We have- i't yet arrived at a decision."
