Rut of I i th veteran coach is not yet through with basketball nor with Baltimore. He has agreed to undertake the rebuilding of the Bullets for next oason'g campaign in the National return. This is the most encouraging Baltimore can be made into a pennant contender on the fiardwood with its limited resources.

The big fellow, an Alt-American at Southern Cal last year and voted one of the top linemen in the Pacific Coast Conference, recently launched a career in professional boxing.

Molesworth and his aides are still checking on the draft status of the Cleveland tradces. "Most of them." says Moley.

By James Ellis The Baltimore Colts today announced the biggest player trade in their history, a 15-man swap with the Cleveland Browns. Eastern division champions of the National Football League. Baltimore exchanged five players, three of whom are in military service, for ten Brownies. Players In Transaction Those assigned here: Quarterback Harry Agganis. Halfbacks Bert Rechichar, Carl Taseff and Don Shula.

Ends Art Spinney and Gern Nagler, Tackles Dick Batten and Owen Scheetz and Guards Ed Sharkey and Elmer Wilhoite. Those going to Cleveland: Tackles Don Colo and Mike Mc-Cormack. Center Tom Catlin. Guard Herschel Forester and Halfback John Petitbon. The transaction, a straight trade with no cash involved, was completed yesterday in a day-long session here between Paul Brown.

Cleveland coach, and the Colts' front-office staff. "Big Help" Molesworth Keith Molesworth. Baltimore head coach who matched wits with Brown in a lengthy game of barter as they pored up and down each other's rosters, terms the deal "a big help to us this fall." "I am very happy about it," says Molesworth. "We picked men whom we believe will help us immediately and gave up only two who are available for pro football this year." unsigned veteran defensive lineman who played here in 1950 and put in subsequent seasons with the New York Yanks and Dallas Texans, and Catlin. rookie signee from Oklahoma University, are the two the Colts planned to use this fall.

Petitbon In Service Petitbon. former Notre Dame star who put in one campaign at defensive halfback for Dallas, joined the Marines earlier this month for a two-year tour. Forester. S.M.U. grad, joined the armed forces a year ago, and Mc-Cormack.

a rookie with the old Yanks in '51, is not due to doff his khakis until September, 1954. Five of the new Colts Sharkey. Shula. Taseff. Rechichar and Spinney have pro experience.

Spinney-having been whisked off by Uncle Sam, to be later traded to Cleveland, after playing three games with the Colts in '50. Sharkey, a 240-pounder who operates as both an offensive guard and defensive linebacker, is a four-year pro vet. Regulars With Club Shula and Taseff. both products of John Carroll University, played with the Browns in 1950 and were discharged from service last fall in time for them to play in the final three games. Rechichar, one-time Tennessee Ail-American, was' a Cleveland defensive half last season.

"Brown told us Sharkey is one of the fastest linemen on his squad," Molesworth says, "and is a hetrer-than average linebacker. We're counting on him for lots of action. Taseff, another fellow who can go half a dozen men through the pro draft, the return from military rviee of three of his old Long Island players and improvement of approximately half the present squad. "I feel confident we will move up from fourth to third, play much better at home and give everyone a he said, leaving for the mountains and the college campuses. Possible Prospects To tie Investigated The trips to the latter will not be in quest of hidden or forgotten talent.

Bee doesn't think there are any capable basketball players hidden on college campuses. "Everyone knows all about the Thumbnail Sketches er, regardlless of where the college is. The way the spotlight focused on Rio Grande and Bevo Francis shows how widespread the interest is in college basketball," said Clair. "My visits will be to talk with the boys we have a chance to get in the N.B.A. draft.

We want to know what their military status iv their feeling about playing pro basketball. We can't afford to draft a big name and find him unavailable next fall." The. Bullet coach doesn't expect to se many of the N.B.A. playoffs, but he thinks the Knicks will finally emerge champions. The last two years they have reached the finals, but bowed to Rochester and Minneapolis.

The former has been eliminated, along with Baltimore, Syracuse nd Indianapolis. This leaves New York and Boston opening the Eastern final (best of five series) tonight, Minneapolis and Fort Wayne in the West. Southwest Starts iSetc Recruiting Plan Chances are Bee's travels will not take him to the Southwest but. if so. I hope he goes before the middle of next month.

He might get run down after that by the football coaches of theSouthwest Conference. On April 15 the new "contract" plan for the recruiting of high school athletes goes into effect among Southwest Conference colleges. Jt is expected to ease the tension and confusion among the college football recruiters and the pressure on the graduating high school jridders. It probably will do neither. The plan is to get each boy that a coach sees to sign a "letter passer Was Browns' No.

One Of Few Remaining Gymnastic Teams What was once "a way of life" for the average early American who took pride in his physical well being will be offered more or less as a curiosity to current generations of boys and girls, men and women here this week end as a feature of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Baltimore Y.M.C.A. It is a gymnastic exhibition bv the famed Springfield College team, one of the few remaining in this country. But even the Springfield group has departed from the usual skilled performances on the gymnastic apparatus, which has also practically disappeared from school and college gyms.

Their routine now has been enlivened by comedy acts, dance drills and a team performance with Indian clubs called "Living Statuary." Thirty men will compose the team and there will be three performances: Friday afternoon at Dunbar High School, that evening at Dundalk Y.M.C.A. and Saturday at Johns Hopkins Um versitv.

"This should be one of our bet ter teams, he says.

We have strength everywhere." It is a simple statement of fact after a study of material, old hands as well as new, gathered for defense of the clubmen's open cham pionship. Moreover, the squad is in better condition than usual at this time. Opens Saturday Mount Washington usually starts slowly, but this spring it seems ready for a fast getaway, opening Salurdav at Hofstra College, where Howdy Myers, the former Johns Hopkins mentor, is eyeing an ambush of the Hillmen.

Assets Aplenty Assets for this season are plenty with every department solidly manned. At close attack Norris has three units, all look potent and the coach says they'll play as groups. One has Harrv Nance, high scorer last spring with 19 goals. Billy Hooper and Dick Britt. Another includes 15-goal Raleigh Brent.

Gene Cor- risan and Bill Griffith, with Don Hilliary, Bert Sadtler and Tom Tongue in the third. Midfield Unitized Midfield also is three unitized, and since the coach rates them "on a par" he is not setting them up as first, second or third groups. Linked in one set are Bill Keigler. Jim McDonald and Charlie Herbert. Another has Bob Sandell.

Fred Smith and Neil Pohlhaus. A third includes Bill Ruppersberger, Dave Senft and Ken Fowler or Harold Ness. For close defense, two groups have been established. Captain Jack Ruppersberger. Ham Bishop.

Mort Kalus or Bobby Prout in No. 1. Tommy Gough, Jack Fulton and Bill Bonnet in the second with Frank Fisk and Kinlock Yellott seeking to break in.

Sought The South Atlantic Association, which carved out a $12,000 project for itself last month as part of the Amateur Athletic Union's nationwide $500,000 fund-raising campaign, is running behind schedule.

While other areas are making progress, a delay, brought on by refusal of the Mayor's co-ordinating council to sanction the drive, has stalled the movement here, it was learned today as Harry Berman, South Atlantic president, petitioned the council for a new hearing tomorrow. "We hope to get them to pass on the drive," Berman said, "at their next meeting, so we can set aside a couple of weeks to put our commitment over." Rejected Last Month Asked why the co-ordinating council, a group that passes on the worthiness of all public drives for funds here, turned rhumbs down on the A.A.U. application, General Henry C. Evans, its chairman, was, unable to say. "We have so many hundreds of drives to consider," he said, "that I don't even remember this one." However, Clark llobbs, of the Association of Commerce, uncovered a report from Worth ington Pearee, recently-resigned co-ordinating council secretary, that shows the application was rejected February 3.

On the report was the explanation that "application is disapproved because the council feels that the Amateur Athletic Union should be self-supporting and should not depend on the public for funds." Treasury Iw Berman, on bearing that state ment, had a ready answer, "So do we." he chuckled, "hut the fact is were far from self-supporting." That the S.A.A. treasury is at a low ebb has been evident for several years. Berman estimates the association takes in about $5,500 a year on such items as dues, registration fees, sanction fees and private contributions. Boxing tourneys once made money but, Berman points out. the recent State championships showed a deficit.

Pending a green light from the Mayor's council. Berman has ap pointed Carl Hauswald as drive chairman, with William T. Snvder, who helped Chairman Charles P. McCormiek raise $13,000 for the Olympic team last summer, serving as a field director.

March 25 (JP) With a new owner heeled with kegs of well-aged cash, the St. Louis Cardinals expect to- make a run for the pennant in the National League. "We have better pennant potential than a year ago." says Manager Eddie Stanky, who really like that when discussing his ball club. "I am much more optimistic about our pitching than I was last spring." Sees Four-Club Race "It looks like a four-club race among Brooklyn, New York, Philadelphia and us but not in that order. "Rip Repulski, Sieve Bilko and Ray Jablonski are the men who can make or break us.

They'll have to corhe through if w-e're going to move up." The Cardinals -were in the ace until the final weeks last season, finishing third 8li gamesbehind Brooklyn. Their performance earned Stanky the league's "manager of the year" award as a freshman manager. Risky Combination The club is a risky combination of kids and old men. If the youngsters make it and the old timers hold up. they could go all the way.

If the new boys flounder and the vets fold, the result could be disastrous. Nobody knows it better than Stanky, who has pinned his hopes on his young pitching staff of Wilmer (Vinegar Bend) Mizell, Stu Miller and Harvey Haddix. Repulski. a 24 year-old outfielder up for a second trial after hitting .299 with Rochester in the Interna tional League, looks like the best bet to make the grade. A right-handed hitter with fair power and fine defensive ability, he may open the season in center field between Stan Musial and Enos Slaughter.

Bilko Is Hitting Bilko. a jumbo-sized first baseman who is getting his fifth shot at the job. has been coming through with some long-ball hitting. Jablonski, the International Leaeue's "rookie of the year" last season when he hit .299 at Rochester, is getting a good shot at the third base job. A solid hitter, bis infield play may be a bit below bie leacue standards.

Musial, of course. the BIG man of the club. In fact, he is he BIG man of baeball with Ted Williams in the Marines. Batting Bv Wall Hollywood. March 2.V The bu" had just returned to the Dowdy Field clubhouse and disgorged two dozen Orioles in assorted stages of deshabille and humors.
