Camp Hill puts a 17-game victory string on the line against Big Spring.

TUESDAY, FEB. 26, 1963 Diamond Doings: Brandt Gets Regular Job In Center, To Bat Second By SHELDON SAKOWITZ Associated Press Sports Writer Jackie Brandt, a man in motion in the Baltimore Orioles lineup last year, will be perfectly content to stay put during the 1963 American League baseball season.

APs Top Ten: Cincinnati Still In Front But Duke Is Closing Fast Stu Miller Gone: Briton Eves Lightweight Title Crack By JOHN FARROW Associated Press Sports Writer MANCHESTER, England (AP) -Dave Charnley, British lightweight boxing champion, basked in the glory of his finest victory today and said: Now let me get at Carlos Ortiz for the world title. At Manchesters Beele Vue Stadium Monday night, the 27-year-old London hairdresser dealt a devastating sixth-round knockout to his old enemy, Joe Brown ol Baton Rouge, who held the world crown for six years until Ortiz took it last April. The victory put Charnley right ir. line for a shot at Ortiz. And it could mean the end for Brown, 37, one of the great figures in boxing since World War II.

Brown had defeated Charnley twice before in world title bouts. The knockout came after 2 minutes 45 seconds of the sixth round, Brown admitted that he had suffered a serious setback in his hopes for a return crack at Ortiz I dont know exactly what happened, he said. I think Charnleys fist went into my eye in the sixth round. My left eyeball hurts badly. This blurred my vision.

I had a verbal contract with Ortiz that I would get another chance if I did well against Dave. Now perhaps he will get the chance instead. Charnley weighed 136 pounds, Brown 134A. NIT Field To Seven As Billikens Get Bid NEW YORK (AP) The St. Louis Billikens, current runner-up to champion Cincinnati in the Missouri Valley Conference, will compete in the National Invitation Basketball Tournament for the 11th time.

Ken Norton, chairman of the NIT selection committee, announced Monday night the acceptance of St. Louis as the seventh team to complete in the projected 12-team tourney at Madison Square Garden March 14-23. Bullpen Worries Giants A1 Dark PAGE 8 Manager Billy Hitchcock Indicated today that Brandt will be the Orioles regular center fielder and will be installed as the No. 2 man in the batting order until someone beats him out. The 28-year-old former National Leaguer shuffled around left, center and right fields for Baltimore in 1962 and even played third base.

At the plate he hit second, third, fifth and sixth. Bob Kennedy, head coach of the Chicago Cubs, also named his teams starting center fielder Monday. Rookie Nelson Mathews who batted .368 in the minors last season, has been tabbed for the post with sophomore Lou Brock slated, to move to right field to fill the vacancy caused by the trade of George Altman. Other happenings on the spring training front: Pitcher Jim Constable of Milwaukee Braves suffered a bruised nose when a foul caromed off the batting cage and hit him in the face Harmon Killebrew, the American Leagues home run and RBI leader, checked into the Minnesota Twins camp two days ahead of the full squad Rookie Nate Oliver, who is expected to take over second base for the Los Angeles Dodgers, was told to rest for a week after an examination showed his weight had dropped to 153 pounds.

The Top Ten with first-place votes in parentheses and points Indian Ace Again After AHL Honors NEW YORK1 Bill Sweeney of Springfield, determined to annex his third consecutive American Hockey League scoring title, went on a nine-point spree last week, and raised his total to 74 on 27 goals and 47 assists as he climbed from fourth place to the top spot. Last weeks co-leaders, Art Stratton and Johnnie McKenzie of Buffalo, each had five points during the week and were tied for second place with 73 each. Willie Marshall of Hershey was right behind them with 72 points after a six-point week, which included his third hat trick of the season and the 19th of his career. John Ferguson of Cleveland and Jimmy Anderson of Springfield were tied for the goal scoring lead with 32 apiece, and Stratton had the most assists, 55. Denis DeJordy of Buffalo was the leading goaltender with an average of 2.78 on 153 goals allowed in 55 games.

He and Ed Chadwick of Hershey were deadlocked In shutouts with four each. NHL Scoring Led By Chicago Star MONTREAL (AP)-Stan Mikita of the Chicago Black Hawks went on a 10-point spree last week and took over the National Hockey League individual scoring lead with 65 points.

Brandt, who did more wandering than a gypsy, couldnt get untracked as Baltimore finished seventh. He wound up with a .255 batting mark, 42 points lower than his average in 1961 when the Orioles were third. his defending National League champion Giants this season. He's more worried about finding that relief pitcher to put out the enemy fire. Other than the bullpen, and the determination of a fifth starting pitcher, the Giants 1963 lineup appears set a far cry from Darks first season as manager in 1961 when he started spring training saying Willie Mays was the only starting certainty.

Asked whether his Giants with the stand-pat lineup might suffer a letdown after winning the pennant in 1962, the former shortstop and team captain who now manages the club declared: I dont believe in complacency. In the four previous years, no National League team repeated after winning a pennant. "I think this year it will be just the opposite of complacency, Dark asserted. The Giants had been knocking to win a pennant since 1959. Now that theyve done it, I think this club will work even harder to stay where it is.

And its going to be tougher this year than last. As the Giants completed their first day with the full squad in spring training Monday, Dark searched for a short-inning relief pitcher to do the job the Giants assigned Stu Miller in past seasons. Miller went to Baltimore along with Mike McCormick in the trade that brought right-hander Jack Fisher and southpaw Billy Iloeft to the Giants. Hoeft, after 11 seasons in the American League, may be the reliever Dark seeks. Or, said Dark, the job might be filled by Gaylord Ferry, younger brother of Cleveland's starter Jim Perry.

The Bearcats, two-time national champions, again top the weekly Associated Press college basketball poll, but their lead has been cut to 18 points by the second-place Blue Devils.

The 6-foot-8 junior who under-studied the celebrated Jerry Lucas last season is the spotlighted performer for Ohio States Buckeyes now, and he is carrying off the role superbly. Bradds put on a typical show Monday night, netting 13 of Ohio States last 16 points as the Buckeyes topped Northwestern 50-45 on the Wildcats floor.

The victory was a clutch one, keeping Ohio State tied for the Big Ten lead with Illinois. The Illini shook loose in the closing moments and won at Minnesota 81-70, leaving the Gophers with only a mathematical chance to tie for the conference championship. Indiana's hopes also were dashed in a 102-96 loss at Wisconsin. Ohio State and Illinois are 9-2 with three games left, Indiana is 7-4 and Minnesota 7-5. Mississippi State nailed down no less than a share of the Southeastern Conference crown, posting a 78-67 victory at Tulane, while Georgia Tech took sole possession of second place by winning at home against Florida, 89-69.

Auburn dropped to third in a 55-47 setback at Tennessee.
