AMERICAN LEAGUE Santa Cruz high's final athletic event of the school year was a tremendous success luesday night as 180 persons gathered for the first annual Fathers and Sons banquet at the Elks club. Sponsored by the Santa Cruz Dads club, the spaghetti and meat balls dinner "exceeded expectations," according to high school and club officials. Highlight of the evening was the awarding of 14 tro BUCTinOLD CERTIFIED Jesse L. Buchholtz, 310 Ocean View avenue, has been certified aa an Instructor for the Hunter Safety course sponsored by the National Rifle association, it has been announced.

NMB LIONS TO PRACTICE The north Monterey Lions Junior league baseball team will hold a short practice at 6 p.m. today at the lower high school field. Manager Jack Daugherty has announced. YOUTH ESCAPES HURT Gary Anderson, 19, of Felton, escaped injury yesterday morning when he lost control of his car on a curve while heading east on Lompico road and crashed into a telephone pole. Anderson told a California highway patrol officer that he must have "dozed off." Pat Flaherty Needed Luck To Win 500-Mile Classic By Dale Burgess Indianapolis (A.P.).

If any race driver still thought green was a bad luck color (an ancient superstition in the trade), they could get a sound argument today from George Francis Patrick (Pat) Flaherty, who won the 40th 500-mile race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Flaherty, a red-haired, 29-year-old racing veteran, roared unscathed yesterday around a track littered with oil and debris from seven bad wrecks and innumerable spins and McDuf fee Hurls NS Red Sox To Close Victory One of the finest pitching exhibitions in Santa Cruz Little League was turned in Tuesday afternoon as Steve Smith and Don McDuffee faced each other in an American league classic. McDuffee finally won out for the Native Sons Red Sox as they turned back the Elk Yankees, 1-0. It was an important victory for the defending champions as it moved them into undisputed first place in league standings. The other game was in the exactly opposite vein as the Moose Dodgers outlasted the 20-30, 16-15, in a slugfest.

McDuffee and Smith were stingy with base hits each giving up two. The difference being the fact that the Sox picked up their singles in one inning, while McDuffee scattered his hits. McDuffee showed near perfect control as he struck out 11 and walked nary a batter. Tomorrow's double bill finds the Yankees seeking to get back on the win trail when they face the winless Jaycee Tigers, while the 4:45 opener sees the Kiwanis Pirates vs. Moose Dodgers.

Box scores; Franz gave a short rundown on Ron Daugherty Lone Card On All-CCAL Team By Arnold Wechter Santa Cruz high's hapless baseball team was able to garner only one position on the 1956 All-CCAL baseball team selected by coaches and sports writers of the league. Ron Daugherty, senior flychas-er, was narrmd as utility outfielder to save the Cards from a shutout Bobby Vega, Santa Cruz' junior pitcher-third baseman, received honorable mention. No other members of the team were honored. Salinas and Watsonville, co-champions of the four-team league, dominated the 12-man squad. The Cowboys had six players named while Watsonville finished with four.

Monterey and Santa Cruz each placed one. The selection committee deemed it one of the strongest all-star teams picked in recent years. They pointed out it had everything a good baseball team needs power, speed, pitching and defensive ability. Four players, led by Watson-ville's fabulous righthander, Hal Kolstad, were named unanimously by the committee. The scribes and coaches picked Salinas' Merwin Kehl and Denny Anderson and Don Blanton of Watsonville without a dissenting vote.

It was a pitching dual between the Palo Alto team's Ernie Grafton and Santa Cruz' Bob Mcln-tyre. Mclntyre limited the visitors to one hit, but two errors allowed the runs to score in the sixth. Bobby Jackson paced the locals with three for three, including a double. The first and winning run scored from third when the catcher dropped the third strike and threw to first to catch the runner. The second came from a bad throw home trying to catch a runner racing toward home plate.

SV Senators Win Over Felton 7-2 Led by Bob Dryden, the Scotts Valley Senators opened their campaign in the San Lorenzo Valley Little League with an impressive, 7-2, victory over the Felton Indians. Felton opened the scoring in the first inning with two runs, but the Senators rallied for four runs on three hits in the third to clinch the game and then added three insurance tallies in the fifth. Dryden hit three for two to pace the seven-hit Scotts Valley attack. Senator hurler Bob White allowed the losers only one hit, an opening inning single. He gave up seven walks and struck out live.

PIUS skirls Two drivers, two pit crew members and two spectators were hurt as cars splattered against the con- crete retaining walls and banged into one another. Tony Bettenhausen of Tinley Park, 111., suffered a fractured collar bone and Jimmy Daywalt of Indianapolis suffered a burned arm when their cars crashed into the walls in separate accidents. They were reported in good condition at a hospital. Flaherty, who runs a bar when he isn't racing, didn't put a scratch on the big green shamrock painted on the front of his helmet.

Flaherty took the 41-year-old Hanks by 20.46 seconds, or about a third of the 2l'i-mile track. The racing during competition was the fastest ever but due to an hour and 11 minutes of slowdowns for wrecks the final average was 128.49 miles an hour compared with Bill Vukovich's 1954 record of 130.8.

"One of the most important things about sports," Franz said, "is that the competition you re ceive in athletics is the same you will meet in later life." Franz also emphasized the im portance of keeping up grades if an athlete hopes to go on to col- eee.

"Only one in ten atnietes have the grades to attend Cali fornia, he said. The former Ail-American guard said he believed the Bears are on the upgrade and that Head Coach Pappv Waldorf was extremely pleased with the recent spring practice. John Ralston, the Golden Bears' new Rambler coach, also attend ed the meeting. Santa Cruz high has the nucleus of a good football- team this lau, Siemerine tol dthe large crowd but there is a lack of "numbers." Siemering said he was a great believer in "cycle" football. He explained cycle football as that In which no one grade class dominates the team and that a new group is always coming up to take the departing seniors' places.

Utility Infielder Grim Mason (W). Outfielders Dennis Blum (W), Dave Castro (S), Dennis Anderson (S). It is a veteran outfit comprised of nine seniors and three juniors. Nary a sophomore or freshman was named to the squad. The juniors are Ketcham, Blum and Anderson.

The pitching staff of Kolstad and Vogt gives the team strength from both sides. There isn't a better righthander in northern California than Kolstad, while the slim Vogt is a sharp southpaw, Wavne Ketcham did a bang-up job behind the plate and was particularly good in handling pitchers. It is believed Shehorn and Blanton would make an unbeatable keystone combination. Both boys are excellent fielders, fast, with fine arms. Kehl has the requisites of a good third baseman.

He goes well to his left and has a strong arm. The Salinas youngster is also potent with a bat, having averaged .350 for the league season. The outfield also combines speed with power. Dennis Blum was the league's leading hitter with an excellent .471 mark, while Castro finished at .368 and Ander son at .340. Anderson carries a big bat and was the first high school youngster to hit one over the 347-foot leftfield barrier at Harvey West stadium.
