Holds Most Court Records
But it was the 8 IT. 5 in. Haw-
ldns who set Notre Dame on fire
with his tremendous rebounding
and accurate shooting. He holds
just about every scoring and re-
bounding record at the college
where he won All-American hon
ors in his senior year.
He was the first draft choice
Of the Minneapolis Lakers (now
the Los Angeles Lakers) when he
graduated from Notre Dame, with
major in Sociology. When he
joined the Lakers he found that
Elgin Baylor was the big star. It
was not long before Tommy es-
tablished himself as a capable
teammate; and 1t is safe to say
that with Rudy LaRusso, Tommy
and Baylor the Lakers have the
best front line trio in the National
Basketball League.
Thinks Baylor Greatest
Tommy has been what Lal1er
Coach Fred Schaus likes to refer
to as the sixth mana first
string substitute, as 1t were-who
can come into the game fresh and
break it wide open. While Tommy
enjoys the rating given by his
coach, he would be happier IL he
played more regularly. It is likely
that he viii be able to do just that
this year, for Schaus is toying
with the idea Of moving Baylor to
the backcourt with Jerry West and
placing Hawkins and LaRusso at
the forwards with Ray Felix or a
substitute at center. This could
make the Lakers the fastest and
highest scoring team. in basketball.

Negroes Fear Social Inactivity At
NOtre Dame
asked Hawkins why It Is that
so few Negroes have played for or
even studied at Notre Dame, and
is there some unwritten policy
against the use OF Negro athletes.
He replied: "As far az / know
there has never been any discrim-
nation practiced against Negroes,
II there was a policy Of discrim-
nation against Negroes I have
never heard about It."
He said he believes there are
three main reasons why Negroes
have not gone to Notre Dame In
great numbers: ~ rigid require
ments for admission (B average
in high school; (2) because Of
the fact that 50 few Negroes live
in the South Bend area, young
men are afraid Of being isolated in
the community; and (3) because
it Is an all-boys' school the social
life may be unattractive to the Me-
gro boy. Few Negroes attend the
all-girls' sister school, st. Mary's
College, which further casts a
shadow over the desired Social life
Of the Negro athlete.
Not Victim OF Being Negro
Hawkins is one Of the few adult
Negroes who can truthfully say he
has never experienced the sting Of
being a Negro. In Chicago he at
tended Parker High School, then
predominantly a white school"
Because his high school coach and
the Notre Dame coach had been
neighbors as children, Hawkins
was a natural for Notre Dame.
While with the Fighting Irish" he
never knew what segregation was,
for he lived in the dorInitory and
on trips 1t was an understood pol
icy that there should be absolutely
no discrimination either in housing
or in eating establishments.
White Terminate Best Friend
Tom is justly proud of his Alma
Mater, and says that his having
been a student there has opened
many doors for him-socially and
economically.
He told me that his best friend
on the Lalxers is Rudy LaRusso,
former Dartmouth star, whom he
roomed with during his first year
in the pro ranks. Rudy and I
have so much In common" he told
me.

Princeton's leading scorer
and playmaker is Pete Camp
bell, a 6-foot-1 junior with an
1873 average. The Tigers
switch around pretty good in
the backcourt on offense, and
also fitting well into playmak-
ing roles are Art Hyland. a
5-10 junior averaging 1871
points, and Jack Whitehouse,
q 60 junior with q 9.5 average.
The other player working
the front court with Kaemmer-
len Is Don Swan, q 6-3 senior
averaging 1913. The Tigers
bench seems good, with such
top subs as Andy Higgins, a
6-2 senior, and Tom Adams, a

Princeton'S top five scoring
averages are 1873, lis, 1876,
1913 and 9.5, compared to GW's
20.8. 1874, lis, 10.1 and 9.8.

offense is speedy and accurate

Mar. 9.-Middle-aged. portly
men who drive to the corner
for a pack Of cigarettes can
get mighty infuriated when
they hear Of a high school
baseball star chucking a chance
at organized ball.
It is hard for them to under
stand, perhaps, how a few
quick dollars can get in the
way Of Q dream.
There were two such young
sters, a pitcher and a catcher
who had to make the decision
10 years ago. Ray Semproch
took the gamble. signing with
the Phillies. He's now with the
Senators, looking for the one
good shot that will make him
a topflight major league
pitcher.
The catcher wasn't having
any. Today he has q nice
home and a family he sees all
the time. He's the street COM
missioner for a village near
Cleveland.
He doesn't have any regrets"
Semproch says. He never
looks back. But I don't have
any. either. I guess you have
to love baseball, live it and eat
it, to take the gamble.

of them. They say, Why
should I take q chance like
that. hang around in the
minors for 5000 q month, when
I can go out and get a good
job and make some money!"
It's q tough decision to make,
Semproch says, because you can

Semproch says big league
expansion will open the doors.
More youngsters will take the
gamble now, because the ocdS
will be better - more jobs,

MIAMI BEACH, Mar. 9 (AP)
Sonny Liston. the No. /
ranked heavyweight contender,
said today he is willing to fight
either Floyd Patterson or Inge-
mar Johansson for nothing as
long as the title is at stake.
From the way Gus D'Amato
(PatterSon's manager) talks, I
guess I'll never get Patterson,
said the 27-year-old Phila-
delphia heavyweight after he
had knocked out Howard King
Of Reno in SO seconds of the
third round last night at the
Miami Beach Auditorium.
"JohanSson, I don't know
about him." Liston said.
When he didn't have the title
he said he would fight me.

light me. don't know how
he would feel if he wins this

LiSton, winner Of 80 of 80 pro

dicted that Patterson would
knock out Johansson inside OF

Monday night for the third
time.
Liston, about 10 pounds over

King for a count Of nine in the
