Aurora By MIKE RATHET Associated Press Sports Writer Julio Gotay, a 19-year-old speedster with the Pepper Martin flare for daring on the basepaths, has restored the Gashouse Gang flavor to the St. Louis Cardinals. The Puerto Rican youngster, a shortstop not even listed on the spring training roster, is making quite a stir in the Redbird train ing camp. I With the Cards limited to three hits by Los Angeles, it was Go-, tay's base-running which brought about St. Louis' 3-1 triumph over the Dodgers Sunday.

He was largely responsible for the Cardinals two decisive runs in the sec ond inning. Cleveland suffered a jolt when veteran right-hander Mike (Big Bear) Garcia was struck by a line drive on the left knee and carried from the field as the Indians Boston 7-5 Springfield Win Changes Trend Springfield fans chanted: "Ray Page, You're The The game was the lights dimmed, yet the chant went on. It was a catchy tribute to Coach Page and his Senators who had Drought the coveted prep basketball crown to the capital city. And it was another way for fired-up fans to let off steam Springfield's chief of police reported today that the "welcome home" for the champs was the biggest turnout he'd seen In the city.

Aurora Galesburg over Peoria Central Bob Farris, considered the team's good luck omen, was especially proud. Farris' father had played with the 1935 championship team.

"Now I've got something to crow about," beamed young Farris. Tom Cole, Springfield's top scorer who hit for 26 points in the title game, praised Page as the Cox "greatest coach in Illinois." iNichols Sportswriters and broadcasters! Nixon-Law covering the tournament kept ferring to how well they thought the team had been coached. Unlike Marshall, last year's champion, Springfield played a slower game and did much of its scoring off of play patterns. But even more remarkable was Springfield's defense. In the four games leading to the championship, the Senators yielded an average of 46 points a game and held west aurora's Bill Small to 18.

Small, nevertheless, led all scorers in the tournament with 103. Cole. Spring field's ace, finished second with 90. Springfield Police Chief Silver Suarez, a 20-year-man on the force, said the "parade beats any thing Springfield's ever seen and that includes parades for Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower." However. Springfield wasn't the only city to celebrate.

Runnerup West Aurora was greeted by a parade of cars which threaded through downtown aurora to the high school auditorium which was jammed with cheering crowds. Galesburg, which defeated Waukegan 78-66, for third place, was welcomed by an estimated 20,000 fans. Mayor Robert Cabeen gave the players the keys to the city. The Waukegan team was also met by a motorcade which escorted the players through the downtown section to the school where they were greeted by teachers, students and civic leaders.

Oddly, Gotay started the Cards off by striking out, but when the ball got by the catcher, the Red Bird newcomer legged it all the way to second as Joe Cunningham scored. Then B. G. Smith tapped to the mound. Pitcher Gene Snyder bluffed Gotay back to second and threw out the batter.

But Gotay didn't return all the way. He applied the brakes, re- his direction and streaked for third. The throw first baseman Norm Larker trying to head him off was wild and Gotay scampered home with what proved to be the winning tally. Garcia, attempting a comeback after undergoing an operation for a slipped disc, was clipped by Billy Consolo's liner in the seventh. The Indians won it with an 11-hit attack led by Vie Power.

A trio of 20-year-old Baltimore pitchers beat the world champion Yankees. Jerry Walker and Johnny Fisher combined for the first victory with home run support from Gus Triandos and Leo Burke. Young Milt Pappas, who pitched six innings, and the veteran Hec Brown notched the shutout, a seven-inning affair. Eight walks by Carlton Willey and Gerry Nelson proved the Braves' undoing as they lost their ninth in 12 games. Harvey Kuenn led the Tigers with three hits.

In recent seasons, state tourney record books have taken a lacing from point-crazy offenses. The Senators brought defense back into the spotlight. Springfield also pulled central Illinois into the winner's circle after a long absence, The Senators were never accorded top rating in the AP poll. But after its first appearance in Huff Gym, the Springfield entry picked up strong support, especially from southern Illinois coaches who liked the performance of the 1-3-1 zone.

It was the first Illinois winner since Paris picked up the marbles in 1947. Northern and southern quintets had monopolized for 11 years. Springfield's defense had limited opponents to 41.1 points per game during the year. In 16 games, the Senators' opposition was checked on fewer than 40 points. Only once during the i 34-game campaign did Springfield go on a scoring ride The Senators went slightly crazy to count 83 points against Springfield Lanphier.

Lone setback for the champs was a 44-42 reverse by Taylorville in the third game of the season.

(AP)-Run in the Fall, develop a bench and hound the man with the ball is Pete Newell's success formula. The record will show it works for the handsome, voluble coach ot California's NCAA basketball champion. He's had a Pacific Coast Conference champion the past three years.

In 1949, he coached the University of San Francisco to the National Invitational Tournament title in New York. Pete, 43, starts the season by sending his players on cross country runs. Last Fall, the pacer was Don Bowden, Cal law student and only American to run the mile in under four minutes. "It's uphill running and that type of running strengthens legs," Newell says. "It pays off when the boys get into those consecutive weekend games." Bench development comes during the pre-conference games.

It's important to win a majority of those games, but it's equally important to develop a squad with balance and length. You take a chance and let the players react under pressure," adds Newell, an inveterate towel ohewer when he's under pressure. "We give the kids a chance to develop themselves get confidence. And it paid off. We've been relying on 9 or 10 men all year." Newell's Bears gave up a miserly 50 points a game this season In compiling a 25-4 average.

The Bears play a tight man to man defense. Newell doesn't like a zone type. His players, however, don't watch only their man. It's their job to watch the ball, help the teammate hounding the man with the ball. "Our Jdds like to play defense," Newell contends.
