Twelve teams have already sub
mitted their entries for the Annual
Xavier University Track and Field
Meet to be held in the Xavier Uni
versity Stadium on Friday and Sat-

Teams from the Southwest Confer

sent the Midwest; billiard, the sole
representative of the South Cen

The performance of the athletes
from some of these schools in
earlier meets have given indica-
tions that all participants will be
in good physical condition and at
their track peak by April Ia.
Mr.. A. C. Priestley, Head Mentor

Silt Will Not Be
On United States
Olympic Squad

CHICAGO, April PIT appears
that Walt (the Stilt) Chamberlain,
the Observation-Disclosures colleg e
basketball player in the nation,
will not be on the Olympic Squad,
it appeared last week.
The Big Seven Conference, of
which Chamberlain alma mater is
a member, has ruled against fresh
man competition, which prevents
the 7-foot athlete from entering
the AAU tournament at Denver,
which started this week.
+ Once in the tournament, Cham
berlain would have been a cinch to
make one of the two teams that
tournament will send to the Olym-
pic trials at Kansas City, April g
3, and 4.
Col. Harry Henshel, the Olympic
basketball chairman, said Big
Seven could easily waive it's rule
if Chamberlain wanted to 60 to
the OlymplcS.
But Kansas coach, Phog Allen
gave an emphatic no as his answer
"Chamberlain will be right here,
going to school next fall" Allen
said. "We're not interested in any
half baked AAU. Hensel wants
Chamberlain to be sure his AAU
teams don't get the pants whipped
off them by the colleges at Kansas
City," az

Tough Schedule

Coach Joe Gillian and his
Jackson State College baseball
squad get a real test during the
next six days as they play four
games in five days. The Tigers,
victorius in their first two games,
travel to Mississippi Vocational
College for single games Friday
and Saturday, April 6 and z, and
then move over to Nashville, Ten
nessee where they tangle with the
Tennessee A & I State diamond
crew before returning to friendly
environs. Mississippi Vocational is
fielding its first baseball team
since it's founding, but the Tigers
dare not find any consolidation in
this thought because the Delta
institution came up with terrific
football and basketball squads the
first time teams were fielded in
these sports. Then too, Jackson
State College is just returning to
the sport after an interval Of 25
wears which means that coaches
at the two institutions are facing
the same problems. Tennessee
State, as usual, will be ''loaded for

GRAMBLING, La. - Especially
-Shoddy pitching, scourge mag
nified by tough breaks and per-
sistent hitting, proved Alcorn's
undoing here Tuesday as Gramb-

visitors.
The victory marked the Tigers
sixth straight win. Grambling
flogged Alcorn 24-3 Monday.
In both games the home team
was prodigal with four-baggers
and scattered its errors a little
more harmlessly than the Braves.
Gehrig Harris, Bertrand Glad
ney, Louis Wiggings and Jammie
Caleb hit homes in the series to
give President-C R. w. E.
Jones a 20 vantage in the setto.

to predict that the 440 yard dash
will be one Of the feature races Of
the meet with very heavy COM
petition from Robertson Of Southern
University and Alvin Harry and
Willie Bradley of Xavier Univer-
sity. The $50 yard dash may prove
equally as competitive with Will

SANDLO S
By BOB HANSON

A couple of years ago Federal
Storage fashioned a nine-game
winning streak and found itself
the second half champion in the
Industrial League.
Joe Branzell's collection of
high school stars is currently on
Ianother streak. although of more
modest proportions. In the
league, that is. Actually, the
Federals. again are operating on
Ia nine-game string. but only two
came from play in the Industrial
circuit.
The other seven were picked
up mainly in the Clark Griffith
League. limited to 19-year-olds
and under. Since they won both
halves and the championship in
that league, Federal for the
tenth time will play in the ALL
American Amateur Baseball AS
ISOLATION tournament starting
August Is at Johnstown, Pa.
The Washington team won at
JohnStown in 1947 and four
times has been runnerup.
Incidentally. as a tuneup for
the tourney Federal has set up
several games with visiting teams
in the next couple of weeks.
They play JohnStown this Sat-
lurday and Sunday at the Ellipse.
Saturday. August IL, Federal
plays Leone's of Baltimore, run
nerup in the Johnstown tourney
last year, also at the Ellipse, and
two days later meets New Or
leans, tournament winner the last
three years, in a night game at
Griffith Stadium.
But to get back to the Indus
trial League, there's big Job
facing Federal in its drive for
the second half title.
I'VE did it once before" Bran
zell said, land we just might Go
it again"
Braznell's reference was to
1854 and the teams unprece-
dented drive for the champion
ship.
Federal started off by losing
