All 10 league coaches aided in the selection of the squad. Olyphant Boosters Near Goal, 78-38 By STEVE SNIDER NEW YORK, March II U.B Al of the Brooklyn Dodgers, perpetrator of that miracle World Series catch nteal- ing a homeT from Joe DiMaggio, was the first beanrjball victim of baseballs Spring training season. The Injury was slight, but almost immediately the rest of the gf ft Dlgers scampered to the club-si 5, house down at Ciudad Trujillo for protective batting helmets. Did need a case like that to Jl start them -worrying about those dizzy Spring- pitchers who havent the vaguest notion where theyre throwing? Seems to us every player in the game would wear a helmet on every trip to vi; the plate, whether its Spring, i. Summer or Tail.

1T Want a sure bet to win an Olympic wreath at London? That a would be-Harrison Dillard, the Baldwin-W allace hurdler. As near as old Sclssor-Legs can recall, he hasnt lost a hurdle race in the last 47 starts and had 36 victories in a row prior to his last Isnt it about time pro football r1 owners wised up in their with the colleges? There is v'3 too much dickering with players 1 whose classes have graduated but who still have college eligibility remaining because they took time out to a war. All pro contracts should clear through the athletic 'directors office on the campus of the signing player. It would have a lot of emibarrass- men-t for all concerned, especially in cases like that of John Rapacz, Oklahoma's great center, who played a year of college ball after he had signed a pro con-' 'tract with the All-America Con- ference and accepted a bonus George McQuiim of the New York Yankees, reclaimed from baseballs boneyard after being cut loose by Connie Mack in 1946, is working on his own social "securily program. Next time he is 1 cast adrift will be the last.

He held out for- more dough from J'the Yanks this Spring, runs a sporting goods store and re-- cently opened a florists shop. If this is his last season, he wont Status of 2 Kelly Regulars Question Mark Johnny Kelly, mentor of Scranton Preps competent courtmen, has numerous reasons today to believe that there is far more truth than exaggeration in the oldie that trouble comes in bunches. But Johnny isnt reaching for the crying towel. Fact is, he is making the best of a prank of fate that has deprived him of one of his acp scorers, Johnny Sco-blick, who is involuntarily languishing on the injured list, and may cost him the much-needed service of Spike Casey, a nemesis to the opposing goal defenders throughout the long season. To make matters worse for the crippled Preppers, they drew the home club, St.

Josephs, in the pairings for the 12th Annual Knights of Columbus State Catholic High School Basketball Tournament at Williamsport, The tourney gets under way tonight. The Williamsport St. Joes team has been a tough basketball nut to crack in its own back yard all year. Nevertheless, Coach Kelly is confident that his lads, who have proved their gameness in numerous tests, will not make an early exit from the Williamsport tournament without letting the Joes know they were in action. Scobllck was struck in the eye by a football honest during a court rehearsal at the Armory.

Coach Kelly reports that Casey is ill but may be ready for. tonights skirmish. Eight squads will vie in the first round pairings. Winners will tangle in the semifinals tomorrow afternoon. The finals are tomorrow night.

1 The first bracket includes Oil City St. Joseph's vs. Reading Central Catholic; Pittston St. Johns vs. Pittsburgh Central Catholic.

The second bracket Includes Williamsport St. Josephs vs. Scranton Prep; St. Marys Central Catholic vs. Philadelphia Southeast Catholic.
