Scoreless 3d Period Result: A scoreless third period packed with much of the tightest checking of the season, a couple of bundles of missed shots, and a game total of 13 penalties, none of a fistic tinge, and the precious single points to each side that left the league leading Hawks two full Chris Cannizzaro, New York Met catcher, lies on ground after being hit by Bob Cerv'i bat during spring training drill yesterday in St. Petersburg, Fla.

But it will be a difficult, road for the Buckeyes. While IJlinois plays its final two games in its new.

The possibilities, of course, are obvious. If Ohio State wins both its games, it is champion again and will represent, the Big Ten in the National Collegiate Athletic association tournament.

Nellie Fox, Joe Cunningham, Floyd Robinson, Sherm Lollar, Mets Put Veteran on Waivers St. Petersburg, March 3 (TJPB The New York Mets today placed Veteran Outfielder- Gene Woodling on waivers, apparently because he had fallen in disfavor after coming to the aid of a fellow player with contract trouble. The 40-year-old Woodling, a player-coach this year, was involved in a verbal hassle with Assistant General Manager Johnny Murphy two days ago over Murphy's refusal to give First Baseman Marv Throne-berry permission to speak with Club President George Weiss. "Woodling has not acted the way we expect our coaches to act," said Weiss after it was announced that Woodling had been placed on waivers.

"He started the spring off by complaining about the training camp diet -and precipitated a fight with Murphy. It just became, an intolerable situation." Doesn't Hate' Weiss Woodling, who claims Murphy started their' verbal fight, said "I don't hate Weiss. I'm just sorry this had to happen." The club announcement said simply that "differences have arisen between Gene Woodling and the Mets, and the club has decided to ask waivers for the purpose of making Woodling a free agent." The Mets and Woodling had a difference of opinion earlier this spring when Woodling had apparently lined himself up a job with the New York Yankees. Weiss, when he learned of what had transpired, asked Commissioner Ford Frick to intervene since Weiss interpreted the move as tampering by the Yankees, a clear violation of baseball rules procedure. Frick Ruled for Mets Frick ruled that Woodling must stay with the "Mets and even got him sign a waiver in which Gene swore that he would never again serve as a player if the Mets released him.

He changed his mind later and decided to play another season. "I came here ready to play for the Mets," explained Woodling, "but now, I got what I originally wanted anyway my release. So I'm not mad at anyone." He said that he would wait the customary three days for the waivers to go thru and then would make deal for himself. He would not reveal which club he had in mind but there was a feeling that he would more than likely wind up with the Yankees. Manager Ralph Houk of the Yankees is an old friend and former teammate of Gene's.

They thus qualified for Wednesday night's semi-finals and finals with 30 other "survivors from 19 out of town centers in 13 states thruout the country, from New York in the east, California in the west, Texas in the south. Both Petrecca and O'Shea will complete hard workouts in the Catholic Youth organization gymnasium on West Jackson boulevard- this afternoon, Nick for his first open title two nights last week lost 6 to 3 arid 6 to 1 matches to Toronto and the New York Rangers. Every Hawk could claim overtime pay, but bonuses should go to Ken Wharram, who got both Chicago goals; Denis De -Jordy, Glenn Hall's sudden understudy in the Hawk nets; the entire Hawk defense; Ron Murphy, Ab McDonald, and Bill Hay; and Autry Erick-son, called up with De Jordy from Buffalo to fortify the crippled Chicago rear guard. Sub Goalie Excels De Jordy, the 24-year-old Quebec native who in November relieved Glenn Hall when the latter's wondrous consecutive game streak was ended by an aching back, did an outstanding job las night.

Denis made only one mistake all day yesterday. He ate too Camilo Carreon, and the corps of pitching incumbents can be glad they had no part in today's second White Sox intra-squad game. Not only was it played in oppressive humidity and temperatures of 80 degrees, but also' it was a horribly conducted comedy of errors, wild pitches, and walks that left Don Gutte-ridge muttering to himself after absorbing his second defeat in two days. This time, Gutteridge's crew made a three-run effort in the fifth inning to wipe out a five-run lead but in the end, Tony Cuccinello's assortment of roster and nonroster athletes es hiMmrm-mmilltfft i inn ii "I guess I really was a little naive and didn't know just how serious it was," Miss Kinmont said today as she recalled the accident that ended a bright skiing future. "There were so many friends and so much attention I tried to keep busy and there just wasn't time to think about it, actually.

"I have been busy going to school almost continuously since 1956, just a year after I was taken to the hospital. I got my B. A. in German from U. C.

"We used to vacation at Mammoth mountain and I'd go right along with the family on camping trips. One of my girl friends has helped me a lot.

She'd strap me in a jeep and we'd take off on trips." Miss Kinmont isn't worried about getting a job. "Fve talked to some of the school officials in the area and I'm encouraged," she said. "The main thing is to get a job. I want to be occupied and be independent, to prove I can do it on my own." featherweight and Rory in Rory O'Shea (right) and Nick Petrecca of Chicago see selves as foes will see them Wednesday night in Golden Gloves Finals in Chicago Stadium. TRIBUNE Staff Photo Cubs to Try Steve Boros at 4 Spots BY EDWARD PRELL Chicoio Tribune Press Service Mesa, March 3 Steve Boros, the University of Michigan collegian who came to the Cubs in exchange for Bob Anderson, is going to get a trial at four positions, Head Coach Bob Kennedy said today.

Steve was a third baseman with the Detroit Tigers for two seasons, and he'll work out at that spot when he's not busy at short, stop, second base, or in the outfield. "I want to win a job I don't' care where and play every day," said the strong jawed 26-year-old athlete from Flint, Mich. "I feel more relaxed at third base, but I'm sure I'd get the same feeling after experience at other positions." Sensation as Rookie Boros was a rookie sensation with' Detroit in 1961, hitting .270, but last season he dropped Sold Out for Month Tonight's contest in Illinois' $8,350,000 structure, which students want to be named Robert Zuppke Assembly hall, has been a sellout for more than a month. The 16,000 fans indeed would settle for a replica of the first Northwestern-Illinois meeting in January in which Bob Starpes' 55-foot shot at the buzzer gave the IUini a78 to 76 victory. It was the only time all night that Illinois headed the Wildcats.

Illinois' new Assembly hall is a flying-saucer shaped affair and is located just south of the football stadium. An added sidelight to tonight's proceedings will be, in all probability, an Illinois career scoring record. Dave Downey, senior forward, needs just 7 points to surpass the mark of 1,299 set by John Kerr.

"In the first 79 games I hit only three homers and batted in 13 runs. In the second half, my average didn't go up much, late before the game, and developed a misery in his innards near the end of the first period.

Again stepping up in class, he became a harness race driver. Currently he is one of the sulky artists at Washington Park, where the mutuel machines are whirling faster than the spokes of wheel. Ken's story is simple: "At Iowa I majored in journalism. Participated in several sports, bat was no better than average. Following graduation I began selling advertising in Des Moines, and hoped to start my own small town paper.

One day a friend told Vander Schaaf to size up the newspaper situation in Sioux Center, where the single publica-, tion was not prospering. "I felt I could make a paper go in Sioux Center," recalls Ken, "and so at the age of 25 I began an opposition paper. Within a year my competitor sold to me at bargain rates. Now I've even perfected a plastic windbreaker for training in frigid weather. I think other drivers will begin using it.

because harness racing is fast becoming a year 'round sport ind a mighty big sport." VANDER SCHAAF needs only to study the figures on the Washington Park tote board to see what a giant harness racing is becoming in this area thanks to the pioneering done by Maywood Park, and the great promotion by Bill Johnston at Sportsman's Park. Saturday night while the Chicago Stadium was packed by a basketball audience the Washington Park betting machines were nearly set ablaze, so fast did the money pour in. The night's total handle $706,639 was the most ever bet on a harness card in this sovereign state. They bet that amount on a March 2, at a plant where harness racing was introduced only last fall, and against competition from another sport event. In the first eight nights of 1963 racing at Washington Park, the sportsmen wagered nightly attendance average was 11,570.

The early returns indicate that harness racing absolutely must be accepted as a major sport. I was working at publishing two papers, and began to think of a hobby that would relax me. He thought of his rodeo experiences with horses. He thought of the stories telling of the growth of harness racing in the United States. He bought an antique pacer.

KEN'S THINKING: "This was a mighty poor horse to' start with, but I was just going to experiment with harness racing. -Even if my pacer couldn't get up the speed of a turtle, I'd still have it to enjoy riding. Then I began reading books on harness racing, and started brain-picking among friends in the business. "But mainly I learned the hard way. In riding broncs, or publishing a paper, or driving a harness horse, there is no substitute for what you learn from experience." Ken's first season was a profitable one from the experience side, but a flop at the pay window: his total earnings were $20.

Still, he had those newspapers going for him. "So I went out and bought another horse, Lou' Richard, also for practically nothing. Did I multiply my earnings next KEN VANDER SCHAAF year! From $20 to $450. But the following year we earned more than' $2,000, and I had the harness bug for sure. "I sold the newspapers, and here I am at Washington Park with my own horses, and training and riding for others.
