T^'J&&& FEARSOME THREESOME—Maryland’s three All- American lacrosse players, nicely‘distributed at de- fense, attack and midfield, will be the main weap- ons tomorrow in the Terps’ try for a repeat victory over Navy at Byrd Stadium. Left to right are De- fenseman John Simmons, who has led the Maryland resistance in limiting seven opponents to an average Navy Lacrosse Underdog First Time in 28 Games By DICK SEAY Not since it was beaten by Princeton in May. 1953, has Navy's lacrosse team been the underdo', r , and that was 28 games s';o. The Middies were the favo- rites—slightly—even last year who'll they were upended by Maryland, 9-8, for their only de-j feat in that span. Tomorrow. Navy will be the underdog when it reeks to avenge that defeat at 2:30 p.m. in Byrd Stadium. The academy no doubt relishes this psychological advantage, even though lacrosse is a game which follows form as well as any, because otherwise its stick- men can claim few reasons why they should beat the National champions tomorrow. Against a tougher schedule to date, Maryland has scored goals at a faster clip and allowed fewer on the average. Terp Average Better Maryland's victories this sea- son Mount Washington, 12-11; Princeton, 14-3: Colgate, 12-0; Syracuse, 24-4; Loyola. 24-3: Washington & Lee, 18-5. and Duke. 15-1. Navy's record: Washington Col- lege. 18-10; Syracuse, 20-6: Har- vard. 18-2: Penn State, 17-4, and Virginia, 8-5. That figures out to averages of 17.0 and 3 9 for the Terps end 16.2 and 5.4 for the Middies. Both Maryland and Navy had three players selected to the first team All-America list after last season. Navy lost Si Ulcickas, John Raster and Percy Williams by graduation, but retained Ronnie Beagle, the All-America end in football, from the second team. Maryland still has its first- A's Option Bradford KANSAS CITY. April 27 (-'Pi. —The Athletics have optioned Pitcher William D. Bradford, Jr.. to Minneapolis ot the Amer- ican Association. Bradford was hit for two home runs in one inning by Detroit Tuesday. 1 team choices—Charlie Wicker. Jim Keating and John Simmons —plus Goalie Jim Kappler from the second team All-America. The Terps are lacking then- other second-string choice, Ren- nie Smith, who lias received his diploma. And so it goes. Dick Corrigan Gone There is one comforting item for the visitors tomorrow, and that n the absence of the Terps' Dick Corrigan, who was drafted in mid-semester. Corrigan scored four times against Navy a year ago, including the winning goal of the 9-8 decision with less than six minutes remaining. Last year's bruising encounter in Annapolis was tied seven times and only once did the score differ b> more than one goal—when Navy took a 2-0 lead at the start. About 13.000 fans watched ;that thriller and the crowd was the largest ever to attend one of these games. The crowd could co that high again tomorrow. For one thing, the academy is sending about one-third of its brigade— l,loo midshipmen—to the contest. 'Match Race'Slated Over TV Sunday LOS ANGELES, April 27 </P). —Television will have its own "match race" Sunday afternoon on the "Wide. Wide World" pro- gram from 5 to 6:30 p.m. <EDT> on the NBC network 'Channel 4) in Washington. The program is devoting 15 mrnutes to thor- oughbred racing. The horses, yet to be selected, will race over a nnle and one- sixteenth. 3.000 miles apart. Each will carry 115 pounds. Willie Shoemaker will be aboard one at Hollywood Park while Eddie Arcaro will ride the other at Jamaica. Cameras will be synchronized to show the horses racing on one jscreen divided laterally. BLUE GRASS Continued From Page C-f ville track opens its spring meeting tomorrow. Yesterday’s race was an eighth of a mile shorter, and Career[ Boy's race left some doubt that he could have overtaken Toby B. over the Derby route. He was three-quarters of a length behind Gene Van Deren’s colt and Jockey Bobby Band, at the finish. Whitney and Trainer Syl Veitch drew consolation trom the oil track, the type Career Boy has never liked. The Kceneland strip was rated ' slow'" after heavy overnight rains, and Career Boy's only poor 'aces as a juvenile last year were on such footing. Veitcli announced after the race that he wasn't too dis- appointed when the wet track was considered. And despite the victory of a non-flielblc. the Blue Grass probably con tinned Derby starts for Reaping Right and Counter- mand. in addition to Career Boy Reaping Right was a fast fin- isher, although trailing Toby B by four lengths. Countermand’s handlers announced they were pleased with a fourth-place fin- ish. enough so to ship to Louis- ville. Toby B.'s time of 1:51 was fair considering the slow track The track and Blue Grass rec- ord was set by Correspondent at 1:49 in 1953. Possibily because he lacked Derby lustre. Kfvneland's clos- ing day crowd of iO.OOO let Toby 13 ofl at 20 to 1. He paid $42 ts win and $5 20 to place. Career Boy returned *2 20 to place. There was no show betting. * » HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS BASEBALL Result* Yesterday Sherwood. 11. Damascus o Bladensburg. IV Northv. estern. 8 FT lends. II; Priory. A i Eastern. >; Carroll. » High Point.

April 27 Wb.— Seven final and eight prelim- inary events in the college and . university divisions get the 47th annual Drake Relays under way today with prospects of at least two new records. One of the marks is antici- pated in the invitational univer- sity sprint medley relay, with Rice in the favorite's role. The Owls, who won the event in the Texas and Kansas Relays, can expect stern opposition from Oc- cidental College, which filled its entries in the university division rather than in the college sec-: tion, and lowa. Oklahoma, Wis- consin and Kansas State. Another record is likely in the college distance medley relay, with a sizzling race expected among Miami of Ohio, the de- fending champion and record holder: Howard Payne of Texas and Emporia 'Kans.) State Teachers. Miami has three vet- erans, including Anchor Man Dav eWood. from its 1955 team and Emporia State has Bill Tid- well. the outstanding middle distance and distance man. Kansas, which won in the Texas and Kansas Relays, will have to beat the likes of Michi- gan State, Notre Dame and Mis-| souri in the university 4-mile relay. Other final events on tap today- are the intermediate 440-yard hurdles. 2-mile run, broad jump and discus.

Whitcomb Gets Gonzaga Post i Jack Whitcomb, an All-Metro- politan basketball player at Wil- son High in 1948. has been appointed jayvee and freshman basketball coach at Gonzaga. Whitcomb, who played for three years at Wilson on both the varsity basketball and base- ball teams, is a graduate of Randolph-Macon College.

In his jun- ior year he set a Mason-Dixon Conference record with a 27- point average. 11l the 1954-55 basketball sea- son. Whitcomb coached the senior CYO boys team to the District championship and was 1 runnerup in the Mid-Atlantic CYO tournament. The following season Whitcomb's junior bas- ketball team won the champion- ship. This team also was the Gonzaga Invitational Tourna- ment champion.

O'Connell Gives Haney Credit For Restoring His Confidence MILWAUKEE. A»nl 27 l.'Ti.— Dan n y O’Connell and Eied Haney are together again -this time with the Braves—and It show -, especially on O'Connell The 27-ytar-old second base- man from Paterson. N. J„ seems to have regained the confidence that characterized his play for Haney's Pittsburgh club In 1953 when the Braves parted with six ple.vers and $75,000 for his serv- ices. O'Connell Is only batting around .250. but neither Haney nor Manager Charlie Grimm is worried about that at the mo- ment. The big factor in O'Connell's favor is his renewed faith In himself, both in the field and as the Braves' new leadoff batter. The smiling Irishman, ever quick with a quip, took to brooding last year and it didn't do him any good. He finished the sea- son with a .225 average. 69 points below the .294 he had under Haney in 1953. O'Connell credits Haney with i his new outlook. 1 “Fred pointed out that I took too many pitches last year wait- ing .oi something good.” Danny said. "He's got me standing a little closer to the plate, swinging at anything that's close, without lunging or getting ofT stride like I did last year. I’m using a lighter, shorter bat. too, and that helps. "He also has me playing a little closer to second with a man on first. Haney told Johnny Lo- gan and me that we lost a num- ber ot games because we didn't make that double play. He war. a big help to me at Pittsburgh, and I'm sure glad he's with us now.” FIGHTS LAST NIGHT By thf Associated Press EDMGNSTON. Alta —Arc hie Moore. If»u. ban Dlesn knocked out Sonnv An- drew* MM.

Navy Lacrosse UnderdogFirst Time in 28 Games

By DICK SEAYNot since it was beaten by

Princeton in May. 1953, hasNavy's lacrosse team been theunderdo', r , and that was 28 gamess';o. The Middies were the favo-rites—slightly—even last yearwho'll they were upended byMaryland, 9-8, for their only de-jfeat in that span. Tomorrow.Navy will be the underdog whenit reeks to avenge that defeat at2:30 p.m. in Byrd Stadium.

The academy no doubt relishesthis psychological advantage,even though lacrosse is a gamewhich follows form as well asany, because otherwise its stick-men can claim few reasons whythey should beat the Nationalchampions tomorrow.

Against a tougher schedule todate, Maryland has scored goalsat a faster clip and allowed feweron the average.

A's Option BradfordKANSAS CITY. April 27 (-'Pi.

—The Athletics have optionedPitcher William D. Bradford,

Jr.. to Minneapolis ot the Amer-

ican Association. Bradford washit for two home runs in oneinning by Detroit Tuesday.

1team choices—Charlie Wicker.Jim Keating and John Simmons—plus Goalie Jim Kappler fromthe second team All-America.The Terps are lacking then-other second-string choice, Ren-nie Smith, who lias receivedhis diploma. And so it goes.

Dick Corrigan Gone

There is one comforting itemfor the visitors tomorrow, andthat n the absence of the Terps'Dick Corrigan, who was draftedin mid-semester. Corrigan scoredfour times against Navy a yearago, including the winning goalof the 9-8 decision with less thansix minutes remaining.

Last year's bruising encounterin Annapolis was tied seven timesand only once did the score differ

b> more than one goal—whenNavy took a 2-0 lead at the start.

About 13.000 fans watched;that thriller and the crowd wasthe largest ever to attend one ofthese games.

The crowd could co that highagain tomorrow. For one thing,the academy is sending aboutone-third of its brigade— l,loomidshipmen—to the contest.

O'Connell Gives Haney CreditFor Restoring His Confidence

MILWAUKEE. A»nl 27 l.'Ti.—Dan n y O’Connell and EiedHaney are together again -thistime with the Braves—and Itshow -, especially on O'Connell

The 27-ytar-old second base-man from Paterson. N. J„ seemsto have regained the confidencethat characterized his play forHaney's Pittsburgh club In 1953when the Braves parted with sixple.vers and $75,000 for his serv-ices.

O'Connell Is only battingaround .250. but neither Haneynor Manager Charlie Grimm isworried about that at the mo-ment.

The big factor in O'Connell'sfavor is his renewed faith Inhimself, both in the field and asthe Braves' new leadoff batter.The smiling Irishman, ever quickwith a quip, took to broodinglast year and it didn't do himany good. He finished the sea-son with a .225 average. 69 pointsbelow the .294 he had underHaney in 1953.

O'Connell credits Haney withihis new outlook.

1 “Fred pointed out that I tooktoo many pitches last year wait-

ing .oi something good.” Dannysaid. "He's got me standing alittle closer to the plate, swingingat anything that's close, withoutlunging or getting ofT stride likeI did last year. I’m using alighter, shorter bat. too, and thathelps.

"He also has me playing alittle closer to second with a manon first. Haney told Johnny Lo-gan and me that we lost a num-ber ot games because we didn'tmake that double play. He war.a big help to me at Pittsburgh,and I'm sure glad he's with usnow.”

SINCLAIR, REFINING COMPANY

PHILADELPHIA. April 27¦P).—Oxford University shoots f

,for the first leg of what it hopes 'will be a triple crown in the dis- 1lance medley relay, feature on iloday's opening program of the i62d annual Penn Relays track 1and field carnival. 1

The opening event of the two-|day program will be the 400- ]I meter hurdles and before some ,;3,200 athletes from more than ,600 secondary schools, high!,schools, colleges and universitiesare through, major titles will be jwon in 10 special events, 4 Olym- jpic development competitions,and 8 relays.

In addition to the distancemedley and the college 400-meter ,hurdles, highlights today will be ’the 2-mile championship, anAAU 400-meter hurdles, the ]Metropolitan and Heptagonal 1miles, championships in the idiscus, hammer throw and hop,step and jump on a college level iand in the hammer and hop. step ,and jump in Olympic develop- ,;mcnt events. Trials are sched- :uled in the quarter and half- ;mile relays and in the 100-yarddash and 120-yard high hurdles, i

Oxford Favored

American Olympic officials .probabaly will be watching the ,results of all major events herewith an eye toward next Novem- ,

' ber’s Olympic Games in Aus-tralia. Most of the first of thetwo-day program will be devoted ito the high school boys, whowill compete in 37 races.

Penn officials have listed thedistance medley relay (2' 2 miles'as the closing race of the day.Oxford, which hopes to run offwith the 4-mile and 2-mile ;events tomorrow, is favored over 'Villanova, Michigan and New ;York University, the defending 'distance medley champion.

Interesting Anchor LegOxford rates the favorite role

because the aggregate time of 'its four-star middle-distance :runners betters the world rec- iOld of 9:50.4 set by the Uni- 'versity of Kansas in 1954. Run-ning for the Light Blue will Ibe Donald Gorie in the opening 1half mile. Derek Johnson the 1quarter-mile leg. Alan Gordon :for file three-quarters and lan ;Boyd in the anchor mile. Thereis a possibility Gorie and John- :son may switch.

The anchor leg of the dis-tance medley should be a corkerwith Villanova’s Ron Delany,NYU's George King and Boyd,all consistently better than 4:10milers, and Ron Wallingford.Big Ten 2-mile champion fromMichigan, carrying the batons.

Other favorites on today'sprogram include: Paul Thrashof Pittsburgh in the college 400-meter hurdles; Josh Culbreath.Quantico Marines, in the AAUversion of the same race; Jim

•Beatty of North Carolina andBob Sbarra of Manhattan inthe 2 mile.
