lief pitcher. "He looks better than

HE had some arm trouble last
season, but apparently it has left
him."
An early season sensation last
year. Mickey blames emphasis on
slider for creating the sore arm.
I'm glad he's aware Of it," said
Bucky. That's a pitch that can
tear a pitchers arm apart. I'd
rather see him concentrate on his
fast ball."
Mickey has been working out
since early January with Sid Hud-
son at the Mats school for base
ball prospects at nearby Winter
Garden. He's perfectly content to
remain a reliefer and Bucky plans
to keep him in that capacity, bar
ring a sudden switch IN thinking.
A year ago Bucky persuaded
Mickey to become a reliefer, en-
phasizing that he would be paid
accordingly if he produced. Ap-
parently he came through to Grif-
f1th's satisfaction, for both Mickey
and Griffith agree the lefthanded
veteran was given a "sizeable" pay
boost this year.
Although his record was an un-
flattering So last season, Mickey
appeared in SO games, more than
any other American League pitch

record shows he kept the Mats

There's nothing wrong with the

Larry Cabrelli, who coaches them
next season. Cabrelli should
know. AS coach Of the Philadel-
phia Eagles wingmen for the last
three years and a star himself

had a good chance to size up the
Washington squad.
For one thing, the new coach
pointed out that Hugh Taylor, the
Tribes star pass-catching end,
always seemed more concerned
about what Alex Wojciechowicz
and Chuck Bednarik intended to
do than they were about him. It
should have been the other way
around, he said.
Cabrelli. who played at Colgate,
officially joined the Redskins staff
yesterday. He was introduced to
Touchdown Club members at their
weekly luncheon by George Mar
shall, who also introduced Erny
Pinckert, former Redskin back,
who was in town yesterday on

zona in the NCAA basketball fold

its season against the Aggies Sat-

Brigham Youngs situation is
not so serious. The Cougars are
assured at least a tie in the Sky
line Conference, so their 50-49 loss
to Wyoming merely delayed the
clinching date.
Two other teams-Columbia and
North Carolina State-are ex-
pected to gain NCAA berths this
week.
Bradley's victory was all the
more amazing since 1t was
achieved at Saltwater, where Ok

only one other basket in addition
to his game-winning shot. But
