Sharman Wants Trial
with Dodgers Before
Resuming Basketball

Bill Sharman, rookie guard with
the Caps who was awarded to Fort
Wayne in the breakup of the
Washington club, is dropping out
of pro basketball for the remain
der of the season at least and will
concentrate on baseball.
The former Southern California
star is returning to Los Angeles
for a rest before reporting to
spring training with the Dodgers.
Last summer he was with Pueblo,
Colo. a Glass A Dodger farm.
I've talked with Brooklyn Of
ficials and they say the left field
job is wide open. I really feel this
might be my big chance Shar-
man said. ALSO I've talked with
Carl Bennett, the general man
ager at Fort Wayne, and told him
I'll join the Pistons next season
if don't make the grade in base
ball this year."
Two other former Caps have not
reported to the clubs that drafted
them. Fred Scolari is spurning
the Syracuse Nationals and Dick
Schnittker is staying away from
the Minneapolis Lakers, both be-
cause of salary cuts, they say.
In the case of Scolari there may
be some mixup. Leo Ferris, exec
utive director of the Mats, said by
phone from Buffalo that there
probably was a misunderstanding
about the terms offered Scolari
and that Scolari was definitely
incorrect" in his statements. He
denied saying he would cut SEQ
lari Is per cent and stated that
he did not refuse to pay the play

dleWeight limit, but has an edge
in experience on the Arlington
boy, who earned a sports reputa-
ton for himself as baseball out
fielder and last years captain be-
fore he decided to try boxing this
season.
Gu Heavyweight Choice.
Catholic U. too should be a
choice in the heavyweight affair
if only because Gene Higgins has
the edge in experience over Sim
clair. The 145-pound affair looms
as a tossup, with Farrow, who
boxed as a freshman two years
ago but who was inactive last
season, facing Maurice Peumont
a Gu newcomer.
Where Gu has a clear favorite
is in the 155-pound class where
Bucky Ennis is standout. Ennis
is experienced and a hard-hitter
and had a record of four victories
and a draw in dual competition
He also scored two knockouts in
the Eastern intercollegiate tour
ney, losing in the final to Vir-
ginia's Joe Miragliotta. Vince
Marshall is Virginia's 155-pounder
now that Miragliotta is gone, and
he had no varsity experience last

Gu Topples Terrors
As Brown and Trepp
Provide Big Punch

Catholic University's basketball
squad gave Herb Sondericker a
going-away party last night in the
guiSe of a 71-59 victory over West
ern Maryland, during the course
of which Coach Abe Rosenfield
had a couple Of pleasant surprises.
First and probably most impor-
tant, Tom Brown, lanky reserve
center, came through with his best
performance of the season under
the blackboard to help the Cards
get their attack functioning. Sec
ondly, Mickey Trepp. who will see
lot more action now that Son.
dericker is gone, turned in an ex-
cellent defensive game. The pair
OF them were pleasant to watch.
Brown Is Surprise.
Brown time and again shared
rebounds off Western Maryland's S
blackboard in the first half when
the Green Terrors were hitting
with something less than deadly
accuracy. In the second half, he
netted couple of pivot shots that
caught the visitors mapping and
put a bug in Rosenfield's bonnet
for future offensive plans.
Trepp held Art Press of Western
Maryland to two field goals in the
final 10 minutes and played a nice
floor game. Press, one of the
Mason-Dixon Conferences leading
scorers, collected 81 points. Ear
l.er in the week he scored Al
against Mount St. Mary's. Rival
coaches concede that Press could
play on almost any college team
n the country.
Sondericker, who leaves for his
New York home today to take a
brief vacation before joining the
Air Force. celebrated his departure
by tossing in six field goals. Two
came at a crucial point in the
second half when Western Mary
land still was in the running.
Scotty Cranston, Joe Della Rata
and Jim Balm paced the Cards
attack. Cranston sinking a couple
of set shots near the end that
put the clincher on the victory.
Fourth MD. Win for Gu.
1t was Catholics fourth Con-
ference victory against two defeats
and Western Maryland's eighth
setback in nine games.
