(AP) AT the tender baseball

reached his goal. He is a relief
pitcher for a major league team
the Cleveland Indians.
Hes my No. relief pitcher, "
Manager Jimmy Dykes said yes

He has just what is needed
to be one of the best firemen
in the business" Pitching
Coach Mel Harder added.
Why does he want to be a
reliefer at an age when most
pitchers are working :heir

Relief pitching is more of
a challenge than starting" the

The cast for the 21st annual
Mason-Dixon Conference bas-
keball tournament is ready fol

whether all eight teams follow

Funk was 6-3 with Toronto
last year. With Cleveland the
final six weeks of the season,
he picked up four victories
against a pair of losses. His
earned-run average Of 1877 was
by far the best for any Tribe
hurler.
I'VE have enough starters"
Dykes said. IF they all come
through the way we'd like
them to, Funk could have an
easy year. But he also could
become a mighty busy guy"
Harder believes Funk can be
trusted in any situation against
any batter.
There are three things a
relief pitcher has to do-get

the ball over the plate, keep it
low, and put some stuff on it.
Frank can do all three" Harder
said.
Then there is the matter Of
temperament. Some pitchers
aren't cut out for relief. Frank
is. Nothing gets him ratified"
Funk went to Caracas, Vene-
zuela, for a season of winter
ball to improve his curve.
II think helped it, but it
was awful down there" he said.
I'D start one day, relieve the
next. I ended with a 6-8 rec
ord. I didn't mind pitching
every day but I sure didn't like
starting"
And Funk isn't concerned
because starting pitchers are
supposed to get more money
than reliefers.

in an enviable position.
Zipfel turned up with a

Cubs Plan Working Out
The Chicago Cubs eight-man

Wo|fpack Getting Support
AS ACC Fives Start PIay
N. c. Stute Gets
Favor on Depth ]
And Home Floor
BY MERRELL WHITTLESEY
Star Staff Writer

RALEIGH, N. c., Mar. o.
The home court, the next best
thing to a team of 7-footers
in college basketball, was
Swaying some of the smart
money to North Carolina State
as the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence basketball tournament
started here today.
The Wolfpack, which has
won four ACC titles in seven
years and took six of the old
Conference crowns
under Everett Case, is bucking
Wake Forest and Duke for the
faVorite'S role.
N. C. State did not place a
man on the All-Conference
team, and only Ken Rohloff
on a six-man second team. But
the Wolfpack can go deep in its
reserves without weakening the
team-a great advantage in a
tournament-and will be play
ing at home.
Strong at Finish
Coach Cases squad finished
fourth in the ACC standings
with an 8-6 record and won
16 and lost 8 over all. But it
won seven of it's last nine
games. In the two it lost
to West Virginia and North
Carolina-the Wolfpack squan-
dered comfortable leads near
the end. Both were away from
home.
Maryland and Clemso
opened the eighth annual tour
nament here this afternoon,
with the winner to meet Wake
Forest in the first semifinal
tomorrow night. Wake Forest
draws first-round bye because
it topped the tournament teams
in the regular-Season stand
ingS.
Case said a real strong per-
formance by either Maryland
or Clemson could carry over
and lead to an upset of the
Deacons. The canny N. C. State
mentor didn't see Wake Forests
firSt-round bye as a particular
advantage.
Opener Sets Pace
Your first-round game US
ually sets the pace for the tour
nament," Case said. If Mary
land or Clemson should start
fast and build up confidence,
either could make it tough for
the Deacons.
N. c. State meets South Car
olina in the second game of
the matinee program today.
The Gamecocks had a 2-12
conference record during the
season and lost by 106-79 and
97-84 to State. South Caro-
lina's brief moments of glory
during the season came when
the Gamecocks won the Gulf
Coast Classic during Christmas
week. and when they upset
North Carolina at Columbia.
Small Crowd Tonight
The only game tonight prob
ably will be played before the
smallest crowd to see an ACC
tournament game since the
conference was formed. Not
more than 5000 are expected
to see Duke meet Virginia.
There is only one game to.
night because of North CaroS
lina'S withdrawal from the
tournament.
Duke and North Carolina
State figure to meet in the
second semifinal tomorrow
night, barring a stupendous up
set by South Carolina or Vir-
ginia. And N. C. State has
beaten Duke twice at Raleigh
in the last two years. j
Duke is defending champion.
The Blue Devils, the fourth
place team in the regular-Sea-
son last year, won the tour
nament and two games in the
NCAA playoffs before they lost
to NYU in the third round.
And Duke has four of last
years starters plus Art Hey
man, who may be the player,
of-the-year in the conference.
His chief rival is Len Chappell,
the Wake Forest center who
topped Heyman for the scoring
title with a 25.6 average to
24.9.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla,
Mar. 2.-Except for the wan
dering Cuban pitcher, Hector
Maestri. the Senators have a
full squad in camp and from
here on in. small wars will be
popping up all over the place
as all hands go all out for
starting positions.
Among the more impressive
looking prospects is R. C..
Stevens, a 6-foot-2 first base
man who weighs 218 pounds.
He is among the most likely of
the minor league refugees to
stick. Stevens hit 81 home runs
for Salt Lake City to lead the
Pacific Coast League last sea-
son. He drove in 109 runs and
batted PTS.
He will have to beat out Dale
Long, a major league home run
hitter Of note, and Bud Zipfel,
who hit % homers for Bing-
hamton in the Glass A Eastern
League If he is to win a job
with the Senators.
I'D say Stevens has a real
good chance" Manager Mickey
Vernon says. HE did some
pretty fair socking in that
Pacific Coast League. There's
Long and zipfel. too. I think
its going to be quite a tussle." +"
Fence Move Is Blow
The news that the fences
are being moved back in
Griffith Stadium's leftfield hit
Stevens like an insult. The
26-year old said home runs in
Salt Lake City were easier to
come by anyway. because of
the rarified atmosphere.

righthanded hitter says, land

RICHMOND, Mar. George
Washington is considered the
team most likely to score an
upset in today's opening round
of the Southern Conference
basketball championship tour
nament.
The Colonials, No. 7 in the
standings, are matched against
Virginia Tech, No. 2. at 1880
tonight at Richmond Arena.
The Gobblers, along with the
other first-division teams, are
favored. but also wary of the
Colonials whom they beat by
only six points last week.
Other pairings are William
& Mary (No. A. against Fur
man CNo. 81 at 2 pm, followed
by the Citadel (No. 81 against
Richmond mo. 6 in the after
noon, and West Virginia mo.
II against Virginia Military
mo. 81 in the night windup.
Playing at Best
If successful against Virginia
Tech, the Colonials would meet
the Citadel Richmond winner
in tomorrow nights SemifinalS.
That's an easier assignment
than facing West Virginia,
which is expected to romp over
VMI.
First, though, comes to-
nights game, and the Colonials
must forget three straight de-
feats they've suffered at the
hands of the Gobblers, includ-
ing an 1882 lacing in the
semifinals of last years tour
nament.
/ For the last two weeks Coach
Bill Reinhart has had the Co.
lonialS playing at their best
while turning what was a poor
season into at least a mediocre
one. They turned in successive
victories over Richmond-with
a season-record 106 points on
the same floor where the
tourney is being played-and
Maryland. And they weren't
disgraced in subsequent losses
at Virginia Tech and West
Virginia.
Needs Top Efforts
Reinhart admits he needs
top performance from practi-
cally everybody to upset Vir-
ginia Tech. Dick Markowitz and
Jon Feldman can be counted
on to continue the good scoring
squirt they've had recently, and
the hope is that Gar Schweick-
hardt and Bill Ingram will get
into the rebounding act with
Markowitz, and that Bill Nor
ton will join Feldman in pop
ping in scores from outside.
Other than for the GW-VPI
game, the afternoon opener
between William & Mary and
Furman figures as the best of
the first round. They split their
two games this year, each WIN
ming at home.
In all other instances, the
first division teams won both
regular-season games against
their second-diviSi on op-
ponentS.

When members of the Ma

selection committee read the
papers today, they will discover
that Duquesne's letter-writing
Dukes did exactly what they
vowed they'd do-upset second
ranked st. Bonaventure.
1--WE are resting our case on
the Bonnie game. Read the
papers March g." the Dukes
said in a letter to the commit
tee last week requesting a bid
to the NIT.
Well. today is March 2, and
the Dukes last night defeated
St. Bonaventure, 1874, in over
time at Pittsburgh.
The Bonnies, already picked
as an at-large entry in the
tournament, lost their
second straight game and third
in "a. Their 87-77 defeat by
Niagara last Saturday night
halted their 99-game winning
streak at home. and they lost
earlier to top-ranked Ohio

While NIT officials have Du-
queSne to consider, the NCAA
tournament people are watch
ing the start Of playoffs today
in the Atlantic Coast and
Conferences, and the
Of the Southwest Con-
ference schedule tonight.
West Virginia, ranked eighth
nationally in the Associated
Press poll, is favored to win its
seventh straight Southern
championship in the tourna-
ment at Richmond. Duke is
seeded second but appears to be
a very slight favorite in the
ACC event at Raleigh, N. C.
Texas Tech, 1913 in the
Southwest Conference, can win
that title tonight by beating
Texas, thereby clinching a berth
in the NCAA. If Tech loses, it
will be tied with the winner of
tonight's Texas AIM Arkansas
game.
Record Is Deceiving
Last night, Duquesne had to
play without Mike Rice, one of
the irregulars, who was side
lined with eye trouble, and
Pauke Benec finished with a
badly gashed lip. But the Dukes
had New Twyman, who out
scored All-America Tom Stith
of st. Bonaventure, 81 points to
10. and three other men who
played without substitute all the
way.

SMITHSONIAN SCIENTIST
PAYS VISIT TO HATTERAS

Smithsonian Institution scient-

the carcass of the AZ foot, three
inch whale which went ashore on
Sunday. The whale, identified by
DR.. Harry Wells Duke University
marine biologist as a finback is one
of the more common species which
occasionally drift ashore on the
beaches of Dare County. Last year
a specimen drifted ashore at Pea
Island and previously several have
foundered north of Kitty Hawk
where the ocean currents apparent
ly have an inward sweep.
DR.. Wells on a special research
grant is making marine biologi-
cal survey of Cape Hatteras Nat
ional Seashore. He is living in Hat.
teras village at the former U. S.
Weather station. DR.. Wells had in
