AS was the case last season, the
frat nine will again be managed by
r. J. Powell and Oscar Flowers, Jr.
Powell will handle the front office

The Hi-Kappas will hold their
first practice session of the year
on Sunday afternoon on the fra.

Among the old boys who will be
back are Billy Pieper, speedy third

DALLAS, Feb. % Up Ole Dir
Dean, the man of a few thousand
words, boiled down his annual hold
out skit to blunt comment today:
IT won't sign for no 100000"
Frankly, the lame Chicago Cub
pitcher is vexed about the .1hole
thing and may take his new role of
gentleman farmer a little more Sc
ously than he thought when he pur-
chased a few acres of black land on
the outskirts of Dallas several weeks
ago.
Guess I'll just get my farm ceady
and sit there all summer" remarked
over the details of Owner Phil K.
Wrigley's $40, 900 offer and Player
D. Deans refusal to sign for any
thing less than $4,000.
The great Dean, browsing around
his several acres, first milking
Betsy, a mild old cow, then chasing
down even %squealing pigs which lis
wife, Pat, gave him, burst out with
NAV, I don't want to quit base
ball, but I've got will power them

my mind and know what I want,
stick to it.
Il worked out a little up at my

quite a good deal and exercised my
arm. Felt pretty frisky.
II feel like if I could get together
with Mr.. Wrigley I would go good
this season. But things aren't sc
good right now. Nothing has changed
for several days"
Dir, deep in the problems Of plow-
ing under several acres of crops in
accordance with government pro
grams and installing a water tower
lover there on the side of the hill,
seemed far more worried about get
ting construction under way on his
farm house than anything else.
But he perked up and started ask
ing questions when Informed that
the Cubs, minus only the great Dean
had showed off for their Santa Cata-
lima Island training base today.
Say, tell me-, what die that story
say? So training has started. has
it?"
Regardless of what happens in the
next few days, Dean is going right
ahead with his farm plans.
Whether I play baseball or not
and 1 won't unless I get what !
want-1'm gonna have a good farm.
'Spect II build about a $4,000 or
SIS, 900 home out here and fix it up
real nice"
Something in Deans conversation
lead you to believe that the future
of the Highlander would be decided
in about 10 days.
He started out after several sheer
when a cameraman asked him tc
pose with some of the newly acquired
Lean livestock. Dir got a hold OF
a rambuncious ram-"my first fee,
of a sheep"-and took a wild ride
before he was released.
Farmer Dean, slipping into base
balls past with a wrecked arm, is
a stubborn individual.
