ORLANDO, Fla, Mar. A.
Eddie Yost, fixture at third
base for the Senators since l947,
is willing to shift to the out
field if Harmon Killebrew or
Roy Dietzel can display enough
class to warrant the move.
"They can stick me anywhere
they figure I can help the club" "
Yost said. I've played little
bit in the outfield at times when
other fellows were hurt, but it
would take me a little time to
get used to it and give the team
a passable job"
Manager Chuck Dresser will
test Eddie in the outfleld in prac-
tice here. "Il stick him out
there in the next few days and
see how he handles himself. "
Dresser said. I'll chase him
around hitting fungoes to him
and see how he looks"
Edwards May Be Included.
The keys to such a switch are
KillebreW. Dietzel and possibly
Bruce Edwards. now listed as a
catcher and working out as such,
but a third baseman with Los
Angeles last season. Edwards
arm is doubtful and he has been
behind the plate in only one
game in two years. At the mo-
ment he's eliminated from third
base contention because Dresser
believes he'll be able to catch,
but exhibition games will deter
mine his status.
The 28-year-old YoSt, a vet
eran of eight full seasons with
the Senators, also says he ism t
particular about where he bats.
For five years he has walked
more than 100 times in the lead
off spot, but Eddie says it will
be all right with him If Dresser
wants to drop him in the bat
ting order.
Depends on Oravetz.
Whether Eddie will give up
the No. position in the batting
order will depend chiefly on
5-foot-4 Ernie Oravetz, who has
fred Dressen's imagination.
Chuck is enthusiastic about
Oravetzs possibilities after
watching hin in batting prac-
tice. Dresser stands behind the
batting cage while Oravetz is

hitting and shouts, "Okay. now,
man on first base and he'll be
running. Pull one into right
field" Sure enough. Oravetz
line drives into right field.
Hes a smart hitter" Dresser
says. HE hits the ball where.
it's pitched. He chokes up on
that bat nicely-knows dog
goned we'll he isn't going to hit
it out of the park-and lets his
wrists do all the work.
Ideal LeadOff Man.
IF he can come through for
US he'd make the ideal lead
off man. Dresser continued.
pitchers would get panicky
every time the little guy came
to the plate. If l can teach him
to crouch just a bit he'll be
tougher to pitch to, but he's
rugged right now. He knows his
strike zone and he won't go for
bad pitch"
At the moment only two posi-
tions are set on the club. Jim
Busby is installed firmly in
centerfield and Pete Runnels ap-
parently has a lock on second
base.
Yost will remain at third base
if Dietzel or Killebrew don't
measure up. Shortstops Bob
Kline and Jerry Snyder are
tussling for that position. two
outfeld jobs are open and how
much catching Ed Fitzgerald will
handle depends on whether Ed
wards regains full use of his
arm.
Dresser and Coach Cookie
Lavagetto are giving Killebrew
thorough schooling at third base,
but at the moment he's woe
fully green. If he develops
rapidly enough to take over at
third base, it will come as a
pleasant surprise to his bosses.
Dietzel. a .290 hitter at Char
lotte last season, has been
plagued by bad luck. He has
broken his right leg three times,
but escaped injury last year and
finally could fulfill that promise
he displayed as a $40 hitter with
Chattanooga early in 1852.
Dresser will have Dietzel at
third base on one club and Kille-
brew at third on the other to-
morrow when the Senator's play
a squad game. He's hoping one
of them will show him enough in
exhibition games to permit Yost's
transfer to the outfield.

Virginia Tactics

Cavaliers PIoy Duke,

In ACC SemifinuIs
By MerreII WhittIesey

RALEIGH. N. c., Mar. A.
Virginia came to the Atlantic
Coast Conference basketball
tournament with something on
its mind. The Cavaliers had
spent the last 10 days working
on plan to upset Maryland in
the first round, and were so in
tent on it they had tossed away
pair of late season games in
the State that they didn't figure
to lose.
Beaten 10 straight times by
Bud Millikan-coached teams, the
Cavaliers were desperate. So
they switched strategy, made q
defensive demon of their confer
ence scoring champion, Buzz
Wilkinson, and beat the Terps
in overtime, 68-67.
Now that that's over, the
Cavaliers are expected to follow
the form sheet tonight and lose
to Duke, the team their coach
predicted would win the tourna-
ment. That's the second game
of tonight's double header in the
Semifinal round. Duke had
29-point lead at one time and
humbled South Carolina, 1857,
in the second game yesterday.
First Game Tops Card.
The first game tonight, the one
that is creating all the excite
ment and has sold Reynolds

The Deacons hustled their way
to a 95-82 triumph over North
Carolina, with Dickie Hemric

Gets Off the Floor
To Take Exhibition
And Capture Award
BY ChorIes Borbour

Courageous Len Kanthal of
the Quantico Marines was still
the senior heavyweight cham
pion of The Stars Golden Gloves
tournament today. but he was
hardly in the mood to celebrate.
Len suffered a double frac-
ture of the jaw in his exhibition
bout with Charles Ware of the
Northeast AC last night after
he had retained his title on
forfeit from the injured Roy
Louson of the Navy Destroyer
Force and was confined to Be-
thesda Naval Hospital. Doctors
say he will remain there for at
least a month.
Unwilling to disappoint the
record crowd of 5000 fans at
Uline Arena after Louson had
forfeited the bout under doctors
orders because of a bad cut on
his left hand suffered in a train
ing accident. Xanthal agreed to
the exhibition match.
Kanthal Wins Award.
He came out of it with a
unanimous decision and the
James A. Sullivan Memorial
Award as the tournaments out
standing service fighter, but
only after surviving flrst-round
knockdown from a savage left
hook thrown by the formidable
Ware with just 20 seconds re-
naming 1t was this punch that
broke Kanthals jaw. but he re-
sponded in true Marine tradi-
ton and fought back to victory.
The Kanthal-Ware braWl
completely overshadowed the
remainder of the action-packed
final program, which found the
Destroyer Force taking the
senior team title. Rudy Sawyer
