Little All American
Teurn Named Thursduv
By HAROLD cLAAssEN

NEW YORK Up Is football on
the small college level worth while
to the players?
You will get a quick, firm ''yes"
from william (Bill) McKenna of
Brandeis, who was named an end
on the Associated Press Little ALI
America team Friday.
McKenna arrived at the Wal
than, Mass, college, one of the
country's youngest colleges, four
years ago from Salem, Mass. He
stretched two inches over six feet
and weighed 165 pounds. Bennie
Friedman, the one-time Michigan
star, couldn't find spot for Nc
Kenna on the offensive platoon.
So McKenna played defense. Be
tween football seasons he either
wrestled, did weight lifting or
road work every day with the re-
suit that he now is a strapping
GA and 210 pounds of muscles.
He also developed in football.
Unable to make the offense pla-
toon in 1851, he was the teams
leading scorer in two of his final
three years.
Friedman says McKenna now is
so good "that no matter who plays
tackle beside him or backer-up be-
hind him they all three look good. "
And Jack Kelleher of the Los An
geles Rams says "what a pair Of
hands. We want him. !"
Sharing the 1854 Little All-Amer-
lea honors with McKenna are
stars from 10 other colleges. The
other end is r. C. (Over -ive)
Owens of the College of Idaho,
the only junior on the first team.
The tackles are Joe Veto of
Juniata and Larry Paradis of
Whitworth. Stokeley Fulton, Hamp-
den Sydney's inspiration, is at
center, flanked by guards Robert
Patterson of Memphis State and
Gene Mel of Gustavus Adolphus.
Richard Young of Chattanooga,
already drafted by the Chicago
Cardinals, holds down the fullback
slot with his 200 pounds.
Alvin Beal, quarterback for Tex
as Trinity team that has not been
beaten since 1852. is at quarter
back with Don Miller, sparkplug of
bowl-bound Delaware, has one of
the remaining backfield berths
with the fourth going to Leo Lewis
of Lincoln University, the only re-
peater from the 1853 team.
Lewis, who starred for four
years at the Missouri College, vir-
tually re-wrote the NCAA record,
scored ga touchdowns to wipe out
marks of SO seta by ArmyS Glen
Davis and Carl Tasseff of John
Carroll and also erased the mod
ern scoring records Of both Tassefi
and Davis. ~

"A closely fought ballgame
Is predicted tonight when
the Pensacola Goshawks
and the Shaw Air Force
Base Flyers clash in the
third annual Lions Club
Conch Bowl game at the
high school field.
With both teams carrying
q host Of former college grid

The festivities will get underway

More than six thousand fans are
expected to jam the stadium, their

high school "Band of Distinction. .
They'll offer a halftime show be-
lieved to be as big an attraction
as the football game.
Both contestants planed into Key
West yesterday and were escorted
10 the Navy yard with fanfare and
screaming sirens.
The Pensacola gridders held a
light workout on the Navy's Walk

vantage Of day off to rest.
Neither Goshawk mentor Grover
Walker nor Flyer coach Mel Bray,

Omaha Seen
AS American
Member
By JOE REIcHLER

HOUSTON, lR - Omaha, Neb.,
was expected to officially become
a member of the American Assn.
today as the minor league conven-
ton comes to close.
Another development will be the
naming of the five-man arbitration
board by minor league President
George Trautman to settle dam
ages due the Western League for
draft of its Denver territory.
On the player end, the Asso-
ciated Press learned that the
Brooklyn team is set to sell veter-
an third baseman Billy Cox for
$4,000 to one of two American
League clubs-Baltimore or Cleve-
land. E. ]. Bavasi, Dodger vice
president, also has asked for a
couple of minor league farmhands.
The inter-league transaction, in
all likelihood, will be consummated
at the major eague meetings n
New York next week. The only cur
rent hitch is Brooklyn's inability to
get waivers on Cox. It is believed,
however, that because of the fancy
figure, the Dodgers viii receive

The Dodgers and Cincinnati also
were getting closer to completing

The Assoeiated Press

Names familiar to college bas-
ketban fans when tournament pick
ing time rolls around appeared
prominently on the winning side
OF the scores today.
There was Western Kentucky,
the nations eighth ranked team
last year, champions of the Ohio
Valley and fourth in the. National
Invitation Tournament. Also 10th
ranked Oklahoma AIM, kingpin Of
the Missouri Valley and Niagara's

Alongside them were such an
nually potent powers as Illinois
and DePaul.
ALI won with comparative ease.
Western Kentucky downed Gusta-
vus Adolphus 90-79. Oklahoma Ag-
gies turned back Howard Payne
81-A. Niagara had no trouble with
Buffalo State, 81-60. DePaul romp-
ed over Kalamazoo 98-46 and Illin-
ois did the same against Butler,
1884.
For Western Kentucky it was the
hilltoppers' 62nd consecutive home
court victory.
Joining the name teams in the
victory column Thursday night
were such title contenders as Bay
lor, South Carolina, Wake Forest,
Tulsa, Houston and Arizona.
Baylor had the closest call, just
managing to edge Hardin Simmons

Giants Will
BeStronger
In '55---Leo
By JOE REIcHLER

HOUSION M-Le0 DurOcher re-
fused to predict another pennant
Thursday but said the New York
Giants might be stronger in 1855
and limited that Brooklyn and Mil
waukee would have to be better il
they are to prevent his world
champions from repeating.
Relaxing in his plush hotel suite
while attending. the minor league
convention here, the dapper Giant
manager conceded his job "mignt
be a bit tougher" if the Dodgers
Roy Campanella and the Braves
Bobby Thomson return to top phys
ical form.
II don't know whether we can
win or not" he said frankly. ''I
do know we have a good ball
team. 1t may be even better than
last years. But it might be harder
to win. It all depends on how much
the Dodgers and Braves help them
selves from now until the start of
the season. You've also got to re-
member that every club shoots at
the champ. That's the way it
should be-"
Durocher also conceded he could
use another starting pitcher but
added quickly his team was set
and that he had made no attempt
to make a deal here.
Calling Johnny Antonelli and Ru-
ben Gomez his "Mr. Left and Mr..
Right" who would pitch every
four days regardless of the oppo-
sition, he said he was counting on
Sal Maglie, 37-year-old clutch
pitcher, as one-a-week starter.
He said he was counting heavily
on Monte Irwin making a come
back and predicted the big left
fielder would climb back into the
300 class again next year.
Trading business picked up q bit
as the New York Yankees and
nounced completion of their 49,
player deal. The Orioles sent first
baseman Dick Kryhoski, catcher
Darrell Johnson, outfielder Jim
Fridley, pitcher Mike Blyzka and
farmland Ted Delguerchio, an out
fielder with Wichita, to the Yank-
ees for southpaw Bill Miller, and
infielders Kal Segrist and Don Lep-
pert. Kryhoski stays with the
Yankees but Johnson, Fridley and
Blyzka go to Denver and Delguer-
chic to Birmingham. Another Bait
imore player must be sent to New
York by April l.
In the first half Of this gigantic
transaction two, weeks ago, the
Orioles sent pitchers Bob Turley
and, DON Larsen plus shortstop
Billy Hunter to the Yankees for
pitchers Jim Mcdonald and Harry
Byrd, outfielder Gene Woodling.
catchers Gus Triandos and Hal
Smith.
In. another major league deal,
the Detroit Tigers purchased left
handed Bob Schultz from Pitts
burgh. Ray Kennedy, former farm
director of the Pirates and Tigers,
was named to the job of personnel
director of the Kansas City club.
The title is equivalent to the rating
of general manager.
