tmeotn sunaav journal ana 9m sta WC5 I May Be Wrong By Curt Mother Sunday Sports Columnist It would be interesting to know if in all the history of crime there has ever been a baseball scout oven remotely involved in anything which would classify him as a wanted man. There's no way one could ever hide. Just to a ballpark, whether it be a Yankee Stadium or a cow pasture there'll he'll be. You'll spot him. He'll either bt- the guy with the darkest sun tan or the one with the most mosquito bites, acquired while ch; sing after ball players day and night.

And they usually sit in a group. One well-placed bee- bee shot would get them all. They share, ai least to some (icgiee. their and thoughts and information. There's always a chance they're holding back from one another, but they visit just the same.

It doesn't seem to make so much difierence anymore. There seems to be something of an economy move under way in baseball, just like everywhere else. Some of the teams are getting together now and using one scout for all of their interests. Dodgers Against It Friday, at the doubleheader between Nebraska and Iowa for instance, there were five teams represented by two men. It didn't seem quite right, however, that four of the teams were represented by one man and one well sun-tanned fellow had only one team.

The "team player" was Chet Montgomery of the Pittsburgh Pirates, diet not only was working for the Bucs, but also for the Milwaukee Braves, the Cleveland Indians and the Detroit Tigers. The loner was Monty Basgall, not exactly a stranger here since he managed the Lincoln Chiefs in 1958, the final year of the Class A Western League. Monty, then a member of the Pittsburgh organization, is now scouting for the Los Angeles Dodger organization. He's been with them ever since he quit managing. Well, How's It Going? So, what do these talent sleuths think of the pooling of scouts? "We'll have to wait a year and see," Montgomery says.

"We haven't been at it long enough to know. Footba'd teams are doing it, you know." Asked how it worked, Montgomery explained he sent duplicate sheets to all of the clubs in his group on those regarded as prospects. But that on college players where a report has to be made on each one, they went only to the specific club he worked for. Is there a chance for cheating? Are you honest? "We have to be," Montgomery said of the scouts in the field. "It's either be that way or be without a job." The scouts pointed out that any one of the four clubs involved in the combine could, of course, double check with a scout of their own.

And this likely would happen on a red hot prospect who might be in line for the big money. Dodgers Against It Basgall reports that the Dodgers are strictly against the socialistic approach to scouting. The scouts, themselves, don't seem to care much either way, except: "A bunch of us may be out of a job one of these days." The solid baseball men like Basgall aren't too apt to be out of a job altogether, however. In fact, Monty, who managed only a couple of years in the Big State League and one here, has had opportunities to manage since then. He might again.

"They talked to me last fall," he said. "But I think I'll wait another year before I go back to it, even if I do." He was at least considered for the Spokane job when Pete Reiser became sidelined. The Dodgers sent Duke Snider up there to run the club. Monty now makes his home in Missouri and works four Colorado iDrubsMJ In Track Boulder. Coio.

Colorado overwhelmed Nebraska in the field events Saturday to win a Big Eight Conference i track meet, 97-48. Nebraska held an edge i the running competition was able to take only three joints to 60 for Colorado in held events. Jim Miller of Colorado bettered his own national 330- yard intermediate hurdles record by one-tenth second with a 36j. Miller set the first mark as a sophomore in 1963. Miller, also won the 120-yard high hurdles and anchored the winning mile relay team.

Jim Wendt, Nebraska's star middle distance man, toppled the 880 meet record with 1, minute, 52 seconds. This was a half second better than the old mark. Another double winner was Nebraska's Dave Crook in the 220 and 440 dashes. The outstanding perform- i ance in the field events was: Barry King's 55-foot, heave of the shot put for Colo-; rado, bettering the old meet record of 54-7 set by Al Well-1 man of Nebraska in 1961. It was the first dual loss of the season for the Huskers, indoors or out.

Den Richnafsky fields Touchdown pass in Nebraska's football scrimmage. Red quarterback Wayne Weber fires a pass away from Tom Pappas' (57) outstretched arm. Morrison Throws Tivo IDs Good Day for Reds' Wilson, Weber Continued from Page ID other soph-to-be, unloaded some excellent running. And it wasn't all offense for the Whites, either, as the limiting of the top offensive team to two touchdowns would indicate. The White defenders thwarted drives on a pass interception by Tom Pappas and on a fumble recovery by Al Kuehl.

The Reds had a share of limelight, however. Hastings' Wayne shared the No. 1 quarterbacking spot with Churchich for the first time for any length of time and made the best of the opportunity. He pitched a 24-yard scor- ing pass to end Freeman White and ran over a two- point conversion to prevent the first upset of the spring. Weber was also in when the first Red touchdown was scored on a four-yard run by Harry Wilson.

On play he made a slick fake to Pete Tatman sending Wilson in for score. Wilson had a good a running with the football and Devaney noted a Ron Kirkland showed some improvement running from the left halfback spot. The total scoring picture for the day had a decided aerial flavor as Dennis Morrison pitched two country jobs to Miles Kim- mcl for the Whites and Al Fierro pegged seven yards to Don Delaney for a Red tally. The final two Red touchdowns came on the ground on seven and 18-yard runs by Charlie Winters, another sophomore back. Only one placement a missed all day with Duncan Drum hitting two, Churchich one, George Buckler one and Steve Zemko three.

Devaney said the scrimmage, while at times a crisp affair, did not contain the consistently good i i that a couple of the other workouts have produced. In addition to those already mentioned, the coaching staff pointed to Jim McCord, Carel Stith and Roger Kudrna as players enjoyed a good day. Devaney said he thought that in the final intra-squad game next week the top offensive players be going against the top defensive team. 18th ANNUAL LINCOLN HOTEL BOWL-MOR LANES DOUBLES CLASSIC MAY 8-9 MAY 15-16 MAY 22-23 Squads Starting 7 P.M.

Jerry Retzlaff singled two runs and Tubbs 'ollowed with a homer over the 350-foot left field fence to put Iowa State out front, 6-0. After Stickels walked another, George Flock came in to retire the side and then put the Cyclones down in order in the next inning before being lifted for a pinch "hitter. When sophomore left-hander Mickey Zangari came in to start the fourth, Iowa State hitters lined up to get their punches in against The Cyclones scored four times quickly with Olsen hitting a bases-loaded home run after Zangari had walked two and allowed an infield single.

Iowa State added two more in the fifth and another, pair in the sixth, but they were just for fun. Meanwhile Cyclone hurler Bob Ziegler was setting the Huskers down with an assortment of junk pitches and it took some sloppy fielding, plus a couple of bleeding infield hits for the Huskers to''come up with their five runs. Only three of the NU hits in the contest were out of the i i and Joe Gaughan's fifth-inning double that scored Randy Harris was the only extra base hit.
