A Trip Around The Bose From Baseball Io Big Cars A few quick spins of the sports dial: Wanna guess who's being touted as an outstanding major league managerial candidate? Why, none other than Yogi Berra, the handy-andy guy with the New York Yankees.
Paul Rkhards. Hank Green- berg and Al Lopez all sing high praises for 1.he incomparable, "smarter than the average" Berra. "He i: far more intelligent than anyone realizes," s a y Greenberg. ''And, he has the gift of getting along with men." With Berra still in mind, this brings us to the topic of colorful and unpredictable ball players. Pos. ibly, umpires, managers and ol h r officials in h ball hav qu z d the life out of po- tential Babe Herman . Bahe Ruths. Rube \ ddell , Pepp~r Martins, Dizz Deao ii the

Yogi Rrrra like. The Ring Lardner or Damon Run) an t pes are hard to find these de.~·s but Pitt hu gh's Di ·k Stuart comes closest. Stuart is the first to admit he is a good hiller and discusses his own prowess without being abashed in the least. Usually calm pilot Danny ~iurtaugh has near fit when ,. i e wing Diek's antic's around the initial sack. The fight game could u.se a few zany, talkative and publicity-conscious pugilists, too. Quiet I<'loyd Patter- son, unimaginative Harold Johnson, serious Gene Fullmer and workmanlike .Joe Brown have dulled the fans' interest. However, Cassius Clay. the young heavyweight who won an Olympic title and is still unbeaten profes- sionall:,, is making all the moves rout of the ring) imilar to another Archie Moore. Clay may be more on the brash side but has a s<>nse of timing where his remarks get the most mileage. · The young man predicts what he'll do to an op- ponent and can back ii up with his fists. His fistic time-table c a I l s for him t0 become the youngest world's heavyweight champion. Kear s Has 'Dream' Promotion While on the subject of fighting, where gents are often sent lo ''dreamland, ' wiley Jack (Doc) Kearns, chief ~econd m Ancit>nt Arch's corner, has a pip of a dream. Kearns, whose fighting days almost go back to such eras, would like lo see Moore and Fullmer en- gage in a "fight to the furl h" similar to the days of John L. Sullivan, Paddy Ryan and Jake Kilrain. "We would have to hold it in Tijuana, though,'' Kearns said. "But, just think of it. :'.\laybe, a bullfight in the morning, horse races in the afternoon and the Jong figh at night." The good doctor's mind doesn' slop a moment en.o the promjl1ion i£lp...,ic~·_ __,. ------The suu ct promotions s lo mina the ru- mor that San D;ego State is interested in obtaining a basketball game with the university of San Diego next season. Remembering the huge crowd that appeared at Aztec Bowl for the Torero-State football game last .-eason, the development of such a crosstown rh•alry would mean business at the Peterson Gvm box office. USD definitely would have been placed on the Aztecs' football schedule had the Toreros not dropped the sport. Or has GSD decided to change its mind? We understand the Very Rev. John Cadden, president of the school, has received several fine offers for the uniforms but they till remain in cold torage. Tuneups Start For Indy Cars Coming out of storage these days are the high- power d roadsters whi will he hitting high speeds at In napolis Speedway in May. Some mechanics, and car-builders egin plans for next year a the checkered flag is dropped. A I), Bruce Crower, Chuck Chenowth, Bob Hull, ;John Cro. thwaite, Al Dean and Charles Bowes are at work in one form or anot r in preparing for the big- est auto ra e ay 30. e chief :mechanics on driv- er Jimmy Rathmann's achine, Chenowth will try again to qualify his Chevrolet-powered car while Hull and Crosthwaite, of El Cajon, have been mold- ing the new car which will be driven by Mickey Thompson of Los Angeles. Dean, the van lines executive and former San Di- egan, will enter the car in which Eddie Sachs placed econd last year while Bowes, a La Jollan, will be su- pervising activity on the Bowes Seal Fast Special. Bowes, who is chairman of the Seal Fast Corpora- tion's board of directors. certainly hopes A. J. Foyt can win the big race for the second straight year. And, along the line of win-streaks, we hear on good authority that USD's scheduled press conference to- day · l erald the . igning of Phil Woolpert, the one- 1me mversity of San Francisco coach, as the new athletic. director and b rskPtball m ntor.
