vf\V YORK, March 1—(IP)—'Ted
T viano doesn't expect as many
Caches as business manager of

Ea ,et used to nearly anything,
ca j “fter all, the year of expen

u< asking him to get some as
n or have to tell a bewildered
P‘r,t:ess that the young man ask
cr for "num und cheepie-cheepie
Sf-fflie" really wants ham and
but he figures that’s just
part of his job.
The Williamsport club last year
ctarted the season with 13 Cubans
d 01ie Venezuelan. Only one,
shortstop Danny Doy, could speak
English, so Mr. Laviano’s work
was cut out for him. It was manag
Rav Kolp's job to see they didn’t
set lost going from first to third
but the rest of the time it was up
to Mr. Laviano. '
"I think we had the fastest club
in organized baseball last year,”
he says. "We were in third place
until the last two or three weeks
of the season. Simply because of
our speed. Every man could run
jjjjg a scared rabbit. We led the
league in stolen bases, and Joe
Zordon, our centerfielder, stole
home seven times.’’
That famous importer, Joe Cam
bria, was responsible for the pres
ence of the Cuban lads. Williams
port has a working agreement with
the Washington Senators, for
whom Cambria toils as a scout.
His happy hunting ground is the
jocks and rills of the Latin Ameri
cas. and naturally the Senators
can't use all his finds, although
their roster looks like they are
making a noble effort.
Laviano didn’t object to this un
loading of these importations cn
his club. It gave him a chance to
brush up on his high school Span
- 1
ish, for one thing, and he found
them interesting.
“On the whole they’re not too
strong as hitters,” he says "but
in the field and on bases they’re
hustling all the time. I’ve seen
them get five runs without hitting
the ball out on the infield. They
lack the physical power of our
boys, probably through a faulty
diet, but most of them were pretty
good sized, and one, Frank Gal
lardo, a second baseman, could
really lace that ball. I’ve seen him
hit a 400Joot home run. He was
just as good in the fi^ld, too.”
Williamsport occasionally had as
many as seven Latins on the field
at one time. It never did have a
Cuban first baseman or left fielder,
but Sam Langley, former Chatta
nooga University football player
who played first base, was a 10
second man and Wally Michie, left
fielder claimed by Birmingham,
also was plenty fast so there real
ly wasn’t a weak spot on the team
from a speed standpoint.
Their emotional nature and ten
dency to show off i& one of the
weaknesses of the Cubans, Laviano
believes, but he thinks the boys
will overcome those traits through
association with our players.
‘T keep telling them not to walk
around in circles and glare at the
umpire when a strike is called on
them,” he says. "The umpires are
not going to give them any breaks
for that.”
From his standpoint as business
manager, the most pleasing factor
was the attendance. The club out
drew all others on the road, and
was so popular at Williamsport the
boys were postively pampered.
This year the team has a reserve
list of 30 men, about half of them
Cubans.
“We’re ready to go,” he says,
“as for baseball in general, I just
don’t know.”

GREENSBORO, Mar. 1.— UP) —
William S. (Doc) Newton has been
appointed director of men’s physi
cal education and head coach of
intercollegiate sports at 108-year
old Guilford College, widely known
as the south’s only Quaker .insti
tution of higher learning and prob
ably the oldest co-educational
school in the south, it was announc
ed here today by President Clyde
A. Milner.
Newton’s work begins immedi
ately, since he has completed his
contract with the University ol
South Carolina where he coached
the Gamecock football team last
year.
“We are highly gratified,” stat
ed Dr. Milner, “to have a man of
Coach Newton's ability and reputa
tion to direct our physical educa
tion program and to train the
young men v/ho choose to attend
Guilford College.’’
The coming of Newton, explain
ed President Milner, will help to
carry on the integral program ol
physical training and athletics
which the late Coach Charles D.
(Block) Smith was carrying out
before he entered the armed serv
ices and met his death in August
of 1944.
“In addition to the maintenance
of the sound intramural program
which we have and the develop
ment of a well rounded intercol
legiate schedule,” stated Dr. Mil
ner, “Doc Newton will, through his
fine reputation and past perform
ances. inspire worthy and able
young men to continue their edu
cation after high school graduation.
He will also assist the college in
completing the necessary physical
facilities for a superior department
of physical education first part of
which has been realized in the
building of the new gymnasium.”
Genial Doc Newton felt as if it
were a homecoming for him today,
reminding that he was born in
nearby Thomasville just before the
turn of the last century. He was
graduated from the Cluster Springs
Academy in Virginia and attended
the University of South Carolina
until entering the armed services
in the last war. Following his re
lease as an infantry# captain, he
joined the Baltimore Orioles as a
pitcher in 1919 and played in the
AA little world series of 1920.

CUFF NOTES
By JACK STILLMAN
Spark of the Camp Lejeune
basketball outfit is six foot, four,
Jack Maddox, all-American in
1941, when he played for West
Texas Slate Teachers College, the
team with th,e tall average, and
Maddox considered himself a
“shorty.”
Already this season, Maddox
has .aggregated a total of 238
points in but 19 games. Actually
he played in but about 10 full
frays, because the Marines use the
two-team system.
The fact that the Marines lost
three games, and two of these
they p 1 a y ed without Maddox,
proves that he is the big ace on
the Lejeune team. Maddox was out
of the Duke and Camp Mackall
games.
However, all credit for these
markers does not go to Maddox,’
for the man behind many of these;
baskets was Leonard Berg, the
220-nound, six-foot, 3-inch hard
wooder, who plays all-around ball.
He’s a great set-up man, and is
to be complirnented for the way
he hands the baskets to Maddox.
Maddox is said to be the most
colorful of the Camp Lejeune play'
ers. He doesn’t believe in a dull
moment and travels around with
one of those Texas drawls which
makes him a likable fellow with
the rest of the Marines. He hails
from a place called Medicine
Mound. Texas, and the boys have
dubbed him “Medicine Man” Mad.
dox.
Here are some of the outstand
ing scores made by Maddox and
the Leathernecks this season:
In the opener against the Smith
field Rotary Club, the Marines
took a final score of 81-25, with
Maddox amassing 19 points.
The biggest score for the Ma
rines came in the second contest
with Seymour Johnson of Golds
boro. They won 82-43, and the
scoring was so well balanced that
Berg, the high marker, made on
ly 14 points.
The first time the Leatherneck
five played Seymour Johnson, the
score was 40-39 in favor of the
Lejeune boys, and Maddox tallied
23 for high man.
In the first contest with the
Bluethenthal Thunderbolts, played
at the Wilmington base, the Ma
rines won 56-45, and Maddox scor-.
ed 22 of the winning points. 1
Early in the game with the'
Jacksonville Air Station quint last;
Tuesday night, Maddox was hit in ]
the eye early in the game, and
wasn’t in top shape the rest of
the way. With one minute to play,
and Lejuene on the short end of
a 33-36 score, Maddox made a foul
shot, tallied with a long basket,
tying the score, and opening the
way for Joe Brehmer to win with
the last basket.
In the first game with the Co
lumbia Air Base outfit, the “Medi
cine Man’’ took 16 points, bringing
the Marines from behind to win
54.52,
One of the few full games that
Maddox pliyed was with Fort
Bragg. The final score, in favor
of the Marines, was 44-37. Mad
dox’ final was 20 .tallies.
Leonard Berg, lanky center for
the Leathernecks, has a total of
111 points in 12 games for Camp
I^ejeune this season. He is consid
ered the most improved player on
the team. Early in the season the
Marines lost their star center.
Paul Donat, and Berg came along
to save the season. An unselfish
player, he does a lot of feeding
and can be accredited with aiding
Maddox in his huge total. He’s
the best man on the backboard,
and is usually to be four^i where
the opposition wishes he Wasn’t.

tributes the success of the Lejeune
outfit to the well balanced attack,
and says the boys have the great
est spirit of any team he has ever
known.
Bennet was all-American when
he played center for Westminster
College, in 1936. This was the year
he took high scoring laurels for
a national record.
One of his best shots, and one
which he likes most, is an over
head shot from the foul line with
his back to the basket. Of four
attempts this season he has made
two of these trick shots good. Fans
may see him in action tonight on
the New Hanover court. This sea
son the playing coach has seen ac
tion in 12 games.
Bob Mulvihill, Leatherneck
guard, is the big spark in the Ma
rine offensive set-up. The big play
maker played at Fordham Uni
versity and before going to Le
jeune he was captain of the var
sity quint at Rochester, where he
was a V-12 student. *
These three hardy players are
expected to lead the Marine at
tack against the All-Stars of the
North Carolina Shipbuilding Co.
tonight on the YMCA hardwood.
HAMILTON CRACKS I
COURSE’S RECORD
IN FLORIDA MEET
PGA Champion From Chi
cago Sets Pace With
65 In First Round
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 1
—(UP)— Bob Hamilton, national
Professional Golf Association’s
champion from Chicago, today
cracked the course record in set
ting a sizzling pace in the $5,000
Jacksonville open golf tournament
with a 65 for the first round.
Hamilton jumped off with a 31,
five under par, for the first nine
holes and took a 34 on the incom
ing nine to card the seven-under
par total. Two strokes behind him,
and five below the regulation 72,
were Craig Wood of Mamaroneck,
N. Y., and Harold (Jug) Mc
Spaden, of Canford.Me.
Byron Nelson of Toledo, O., lead
ing money winner of the winter
circuit, was tied at 68 with Bruce
Coltart of Rochester, N. Y. Sam
my Snead of Hot Springs, Va.,
seeking his third straight win of
the tour, rated only a 34-35—69 on
the municipal course.
Nelson equalled Hamilton on the
outgoing nine but failed to keep
the hot pace on the return trip.
He scored one eagle—a three on
the par five, 448-yard fifth hole—
mU Avi La aL +L a mm -frrvrvo
Six feet off the green. Wood made
the day's second eagle, a three on
the 447-yard eleventh.
Hamilton put together nine bir
dies, seven pars and two bogies in
going one stroke below the old
course record. Nelson started off
with three birdies, a par and his
eagle, but after holding the margin
to the turn fell to a one-over-par
37 on the second nine.
Hamilton to date has been rela
tively unsuccessful in the winter
tournaments. He has collected only
$1,447 as compared to Nelson’s
$14,068 and Snead’s $12,516. First

Cockerham’s ability and his six
foot, three-inch frame, which brand
ed him a success at the University

the McCrary Eagles’ fast-stepping
semi-pro outfit, is expected to fig
ure in the outcome of the contest,
staged for the benefit of the con

figure heavily for the Shipbuilders.
He’s the dead-eye hardwooder who
recently scored 36 points in a loop
battle at the yard. Norton may
start at center, unless he’s elected
to string along with Joe TTysinger,
formerly with the University of
North Carolina Frosh.
Frank McCall, of Charlotte High

Williams Is Favored
To Beat Willie Joyce
NEW YORK, March 1. — (U.R) —
Ike Williams of Trenton, N. J., was
a 9 to 5 favorite today to defeat
Willie Joyce of Gary, Ind., in
their 12-round bout at Madison
Square Garden tomorrow night.
It will be the “rubber” bout
between the two oustanding Negro
lightweight contenders. They fought
twice in the last four months in
Philadelphia. Joyce won the first
decision and Williams the second.
In the second bout Joyce got up
off the floor twice and went the
distance.
Williams, a heavier puncher, was
favored on that basis although
Joyce is faster and a superior box
er, having one of the best lefts in
the business.
The fight is expected to draw
a crowd of about 15,000 and a gate
of $65*000.

City College Coach
Earned To NCAA Group
PITTSBURGH, March 1.—(UP)
—Coach Nat Holman of City Col- j
lege. New York, today was named
to the National Collegiate Athletic
Association’s section 2 basketball
committee which will select a di?
trict team to play In the NCAA
championship series.
Holman, Chairman H. C. Carlson
of Pittsburgh and Lewis Andreas
of' Syracuse University comprise
the section 2 committee. Holman
replaces Howard Cann, New York !
University coach, who resigned
earlier this week.
Playing-manager McCall of the
Wilmington crew said last night
that he’d pit Cockerman against
Lejeune’s ace, “Texas Jack’ Mad
dox, and that Maddox ‘ would have
to work hard to outshine the Tar
Heel veteran.” It should add anoth
er crowd-pleasing angle as these
big men (Maddox is six-foot, four
and Cockerman only one inch short
er) battle it out.
“We’ll experience difficulty,”
McCall added, ‘ as our club has had
little experience as a unit, although
all men have seen action in the
Shipyard League. However, if de
termination and some luck on our
shots will help, we may hand those
Marine a surprise, their 10-game
win streak not withstanding.”
In the appearance of the high
powered Marines in Wilmington,
the fans are given a chance to see
basketball as it’s played in many
sections of the country. The prob
ably starting lineup for the Leath
ernecks is proof enough of that.
Maddox, the high-scoring offensive
ace, played his college ball for the
famous West Texas State Teachers
club of 1941-42, and later for South
western, also in the Lone Star
State. Teaming with him at the
other front spot will be Joe Syl
vestri, of Syracuse University, one
of the speediest and most aggres
sive men on the squad. Showing his
wares West Coast style will be cen
ter Leonard Berg, of the University
of Southern California. Berg
standing six-feet, three, and scal
ing 220 pounds, can always be
counted upon to have a big say
in who gets the ball of either back
board.
Bob Mulvihill, one starting guard,
was last year’s V-12 captain at the
University of Rochester, after hold
ing a varsity guard spot with Ford
