No cops and robbers. No cowboys. No plot. Just a routine short of a man throwing a baseball. A friend filmed Jim's delivery back in' 1949-50 when he was the toast of Philadelphia. He took more pictures last year when Jim did a flip flop. Cost Plenty "When things were going so bad last summer we looked all over for the old • pictures," said Konstanty. "I thought if I could get a look at myself, I• might be able to get. back on the beam. But we couldn't find them. • "After the• season last October this 'fellow asked me if I'd like to see some old pictures of my self. 'Would I like to see them?' I asked. 'Losing them cost me a $lO,OOO cut.'." Konstanty is optimistic about his chances of regaining the heights of 1950. But he isn't posi tive. He welcomes his current role of a question mark. Moiries "I'm just like, the Phillies ball club," he said. "Win a' pennant one year, fall into the second division the next. You make ex periments. Try to find what's wrong. You may think you've got it - but you never know until the season gets going." Konstanty worked out last Oc tober, throwing to his undertak er pal, Andy Skinner, at his Wor cester, N.Y., home. He felt a little better but not much. Then they found the movies. NCAA's--; (Continued from page six) (5-11) brilliant set-shot artist, is third with 409 points. The Wildcats' three other vet erans are Shelby Linville, Lou Tsioropoulous and Lucian Whita ker. Linville (6-5) scored 355 points last year. Tsioropoulos (6- 5) made 92 points as a reserve last season, while Whitaker (6-0) net ted 161. The Lions have Jesse Arnelle, great freshman, to match Hagan, but lack anyone close.to Ramsey or Watson in scoring. Arnelle scored 448 points for an average of 18.7 per game, almost equal to the All-American Hagan. Lion Starters Next in ;the scoring department are Herm Sledzik and co-captain Hardy Williams. Sledzik - hit for 212 points, an average of about nine per game. Williams made 205 markers. Sledzik was in a slump at the end Of the year and may not start. ' Other starters will probably be Jack Sherry, hard-driving sopho more, Joe Piorkowski, dependable forward, and either Sledzik or six-. sevenio;Jay McMahan. McMahan proved a capable clutch player down 'the stretch' of the season. Also slated for heavy duty are Ed Haag and Ron Weidenhammer. Haag, • another , . soph, developed rapidly and_, is a scoring threat. Weidenhammer 'Could be 'val'u able with his deadly set-shot.

Frank Rich, who was usually the backbone of Sigma Chi's at tack, scored 13 points in the fi nal to lead all scorers. His team mate, Frank Ross, was close be hind with 11 markers. The Sinkers brought Edin bqro's two year championship reign to an end by defeating the early favorites, 42-36, in an ex citing game last Thursday.

Jim Garrity starred for tli e Sinkers throughout the season, not only with his scoring ability, but also with his tremendous re bounding' and defensive play.

Of 520 scheduled cage genies, only 47 were forfeited. Making Dark Giant Captain Paying Off LOS ANGELES, March .I.9—(W) —Leo Durocher has been called a lot of things during his 27 years in baseball, including a wizard at winning ball games. The manager of the New York Giants may also be regarded as something of a genius, blessed with a generous flavoring of in tuition, in naming Alvin Dark his field captain when he brought Dark and Eddie Stanky from the Boston Br ayes to the Polo Grounds two years ago. Durocher's intuition promises to pay, off handsomely this year, what with Stanky gone to the Cardinals as manager, and Dark the key man in the Giants' in field.' Stanky, of course, was the bell cow for New. York the past two seasons although good looking Al was the captain. Stanky was the veteran, and he was the veteran when Dark broke in as a rookie with Boston . in, 1948, playing alongside the Stanky man. Long time supporters of the Giants wondered in 1950 about the Dark designation, but most of them, such as Garry'-Schu macher, the club's promotion di rector, soon sensed Leo's reason ing. Stanky would be the actual leader, Dark would gain confi • ence as, the field marshal, and Dark would -be ready to step in as the unquestioned leader when Stanky graduated to the man agers' ranks, as- it so happened.
