SYRACUSE HERALD-JOUKNAL, Wnesfor, Mareli Big Jon Was Big in Everything I 1 Jon CSncebox ran away with the firsts for Syracuse University's basketball team this year, The Junior was the leading scorer (263 points), top rebounder (345-new school record), field' goal percentage leader (45,6 per cent), and had the highest number of Hints iii one game (31 against The Unfurrowed Brow Grid Loop Proposed i DETROIT, --(UP)-- The Unl- Francis ol Loretto, and sev- BT. PETERSBURG, Fla. Managing the Kansas City Athletics is a fate calculated to turn a man's hair white between innings but Harry Craft, who was muged, fingerprinted and committed to the job last Aug. 6, has no furrows in his scholarly brow, no strands of gray in his wavy brown coiffure. An outfielder turned square, he Js handsome gent of forty-two with the courtly manner of a Frank Iieahy and a gift or easy, polished speech which has made him the golden voice of winter television in Kansas City.

Basking on a bench alongside the visitors' dugout in Ai Lang Field, he was rattling cheerfully on about his apprentice their their hustle, their spirit, his hopes for them, and i worldly estate as member of a Yankee farm." That appellation la generally applied as a sneer, because of the 40 players on the roster only three were members of the Philadelphia Athletics and 13 are exiles from the Yankees. "On the banquet the manager said, "I'm often asked if I don't resent that Yankee farm stuff. Not in the least. When I get 'em out on the field I don't care where they come from or how we got 'em, just so they can beat somebody. As a matter of fact, they about all our deals with New York but in the last two years we've made trades with Detroit involving about 22 players.

"Also as a matter of a man said, "the best things that can be said about your club, or any other, is that you have more Yankees than Philadelphia Athletics." Voice of Experience Craft himseli used to draw his wages from the Yankees, though he never played for New York. When his National League days were done he played with the Kansas City then a Yankee farm officially, arid after a shattered knee finished him as a player he became a coach there. Then Lee MacPhail, of the Yankees' farm system, sent him to Independence, to learn the managing trade. "What was the first lesson you learned" a fellow asked. "It was the eve of my first opening he said.

"In Independence, Class I didn't have a player with professional experience. They were all kids of 17 or 18 named Mickey Mantel, Bob Wiesler, Steve Kraly i i and Lou Skizas, to name a few you've heard of since. "Dutch Zwilling, an old-timer, was scouting for the Yankees then. We were taking a walk in Independence and he was spinning yarns, telling jokes, ing about this kid and that "Then he said, 'I'm going to tell you just one thing. You're opening the season tomorrow with these kids, and they're going to rewrite the record book for you.

They're going to show you plays you never dreamed of, but don't lose your temper. Stick with 'em, and before they're through they'll make you love About the only first that eluded the native was free throw accuracy. Bruce (Bromo) Schmelzer was best free attempts." The team closed its season-win a 75-70 overtime win over Connecticut Saturday night that earned it a winning 11-iO record. Capt. Larry Loudis is the the only graduating regular on the team.

a Hollenbeck and George Crofoot were other seniors on the squad. verslty of Detroit still is looking for a conference affiliation with a 1 i c.universities and will meet with representatives of several prospective members this fall in Cuicinnaii, Detroit vice president John Mulroy said last night.

You just can't get a better tire at this 1 Green Memories tried to remember that and follow Dutch's advice. When mistakes are made, don't blow your top. If you wait overnight, cool off, and then talk it over quietly the next day.

That way both you and the player can see the thing in proportion, and when you talk it over you can make sense." "However," a fellow said, "when you're managing a major league team you don't expect your players to rewrite the record book. They're supposed to do It right." "You don't," a agreed, "and sometimes that makes it hard to remember Zwilling's vice, "So did you learn to love those tren-agers in your first the man was asked. "I certainly did. I was lucky enough to have kids who could play ball. I've mentilned some of those you've seen come along to the big leagues.

I'd never thought seriously about 'managing until Lee MacPhail put it up to me, and then we won a few games, won the pennant and the playoff, and I thought, 'hey, this is fun'. 1 "And now," a man said, "you've got better players and it's no fun at all." "It's like progressing in any Harry said. "The higher you go, the greater the responsibility and nervous pressure. Actually, my second year was my toughest. I moved up to Joplin, with the kids from Independence, and they got so far in front it was hard to hold 'em.

"They had a year and thought they knew all the answers. They thought all they had to do was throw their gloves out there and they'd win, and most of the time they did. We, won 90 games in a season of 134. Keeping them in the right mental attitude was a job." "How did you regard Mantle in that first year in Independence? He'd be, let's see, 18 then." "It's in the record," a said. "We submitted regular reports to the Yankees and at the en.d of the season each manager sent in an over-all report on all his players.

Mantle was my shortstop, although I was working him out before games as an outfielder. "My report said: 'He is a triple-A hitter right now, but a Class shortstop'."
