ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 28.-
Nothing about Ernie Oravetz re-
motely resembles a baseball
player. If he makes the grade
with the Senators he'll prob
ably qualify as. the tiniest major
Lacquer in history. He is be-
specialized, baby-faced, stands
only 5-feet-4 and weighs 155
pounds, but thus far he has done
everything demanded Of him and
accomplished it impressively.
"I've had a lot Of conflicting
reports about him." Manager
Chuck Dresser said. "Some say
his throwing is adequate, others
say his arm isn't good enough
for a big league outfielder. I'm
gonna start finding out for my
self in few days"
! Oravetz will be among a flock
of Senators who will receive
early inspection by Dresser. The
club opens spring training to-
morrow and the tireless Dresser
will have them playing seven in
ming squad games Saturday and
Sunday.
Temporary Lineups.
"I'll stick Oravetz, Juan Delis
and Jim Busby, if he's signed
in one outf1eld," Dresser said
with them I'll use Roy Sievers
if he's signed, and Jess Levan
at first base, Curtis Hardaway

Armstrong Heavy Fovorte Tonight
Anocostio, Dunbar Rated Even
In Interhigh PIoyoH Opener

The Interhigh League p1ayoffs
open today at Tech with the most
even and uneven matches of the
quarter-final round, based on
past performances.
There isn't much to choose
between Anacostia and Dunbar
at 3:45 pm. Both salted away
4-2 records in the league with
Dunbar tying for second place
in the West Division and Ana
costa gaining third in the East.
Tonight at 8 o'clock, however,
will find Armstrong, which owns
the leagues best overall record,
14-3. pitted against Coolidge,
which posted 9-8 mark in over
all play. Armstrong topped the
East Division with six victories
while Coolidge grabbed a tie for
second in the West side with its
AZ record. .
Personnel in the afternoon
game couldn't be better matched

men, all around 6-foot-2 or 3

competition. In the lightweight
elimination bout. for instance,
Garwin Sturdivant, of Quantico
is pitted against the hard-hitting
Andy Blanche Of the Catholic
Youth Organization. Blanche has
disposed Of three rivals by knock
outs so far.
Tough Fights Shape Up.
Fans have their sights set on
several senior bouts which shape
up as corking final contests, too.
The lightweight meeting between
Nick LaRosa Of Lejeune and
Mark Kavanaugh of Quantico
may be a show stopper.
LaRosa's semifinal war with
Beverly Medley of the Nays
Destroyer Force was one of the
highlights Of the entire tourna-
ment. Kavanaugh, a good steady
worker, will be tough to bring
down. He is not a fiashy per-
former, but he works steadily
and LaRosa will have to call on
all OF his power to keep Mark at
bay.
The encounter in the middle
weight class between Themis-
tocles Kountis of the Marines
and Rudy Sawyer of the, De-
stroyer Force also is being eyed
with interest. Sawyer is a pun
ishing puncher, but many fans
think Kountis may be equal to
Rudy's attack.
AS a result of his classy per-
formance in two preliminary
trials and in last weeks semi
finals, Sawyer is high on the list
for the Evening Star award as
the outstanding senior in the
show.
he has plenty OF competition,
however, for also on that list are
Kanthal, Richie Hill, LaRosa,
Basil Blackson and Lousan.
In any event, the finals in the
senior class will not be decided
by a quirk of fate. The finals
will be waged over a distance of
three rounds of three minutes
each, which minimizes the pos
siblity of close decisions.

Thursday winds up the biggest

expected to draw the largest

Accent ON individuals.
The accent will be on individ-
ual performances among the
seniors rather than on the team
fight in the finals. since the
Navy's Destroyer Force has al
ready clinched The Evening Star
Trophy by qualifying six for the
finals. No combination of vic
tories or defeats can take the
team title away from the doughty
sailors from the Tidewater area,
coached by AL Gibbs and Chico

and the Quantico Marines.
The Marines have a narrow
edge in the novice team finals,
having qualified four for the big
push to Merrick's three.
It is possible that the novice
team title will be settled in the
welterweight meeting between
Southpaw Billy Better Of Merrick
and Eugene Golanda of Quantico.
This is the only bout on the
novice program Thursday in
which rivals from the two teams

Dresser admittedly is eager to

Ernie can crash the lineup he'll
be an ideal leadoff man. With
that in mind, Dresser already
has ordered Oravetz to shorten
his uniform pants legs, all the

Ernie's strike zone is decidedly
restricted.
Cold -Shouldered by Scouts.
Although he was a high school

league scouts because of his size.

The Armed Forces Institute of
Pathology was founded 90 years
ago this month. In its modest
Civil War beginnings. it was
known as the Army Medical Mu-
scum and owned only three dried
and vanished specimens and a
few human skeletal parts.
1t has grown over the. years so
that today it includes nearly
zoe, 900 items. The new building
provides 100000 square feet of
floor space and enables the in
stitute to vacate the three tempo
buildings and one ancient red
brick structure on independence
avenue near Seventh street. The
medical museum in the same
area will remain in use.
The institute functions as the
central laboratory of pathology
for the Defense Department but
also serves other Federal agen-
cies as well as nom Government
