Braves and Pills
Unable to Agree
On Ashburn Deal

CLEARWATER, Fla. March
16 tPl-General Managers John
Quinn Of Milwaukee and Roy
Hamey Of Philadelphia met
again today but apparently made
little rogress in swap talk.
The Braves want Richie Ash
burn. but Hamey is demanding
quite a bit for his centerfielder
and lead-off man.
Quinn has not mentioned
names. but it is understood he is
willing TO part with Centerflelder
Billy Bruton and an infielder.
The Phils are said to want either
Johnny Logan or Felix Mantilla
in addition to Bruton.
Quinn is firm in keeping Io-
gan. but may part with Mantilla.
I'VE won't deal two of our own
Ireeallars. but we will deal Sec
ond player who could play reg
ularly with the Phillies." he said.
Mantilla apparently is the
only Braves infielder who fits
that description.

We've got to get more serious

Grid Squad
Using Two-Teanl
System Again

The "a" and "B" squad system
that did so well for George Wash
ington's football team last sea-
son will be tried again when the
Colonials wind UP spring practice
Saturday in a game against an
alumni team.
For the game at 1870 pm. at
Washington-Lee High Stadium
in Arlington. Coach 30 Sherman
has all his letterman veterans on
the "a" unit and the greener
hands on the "B" unit. That was
pretty much the system in effect
last fall when the Colonials
turned in a Til record plus a
victory over Texas Western in
the Sun Bowl.
Only about 30 players are prac-
ticing with the Colonials now,
and some additions will have to
be made from next seasons fresh
man crop. particularly in the line.
The Colonials appear we'll fixed
at end and at most backfield po-
sitions. but the line is thin both
in numbers and size. The heavi-
est lineman on the "B" unit goes
to 200 pounds. and several are
well under that.
A versatile freshman back,
Jerry Powers, seems to be the
find" so far of spring practicV.
He's played all positions we'll at
various times during the last few
weeks. and currently is working
at fullback.
Two other frosh, Ed Hino at
quarterback and Joe Ozenfovich
at right half, are in the "B" unit
backf1eld along with holdover
Mike Ennis. Another freshman
who may be worked in there is
Bill Smythe, a particularly good
kicker.
Working in the "a" unit back
field are Ray Looney and Jack
Henzes at quarterback, Mike
Sommer at left half. Ted Coma
at right half and Dick Claypool,
formerly a halfback. at fullback.
All were regulars last season.
