Uses Movie
1111111ZEI
To Improve
CLEARWATER, Fla., March 19
—(P)—lf Jim Konstanty makes a
comeback, give an old movie film
a share of the credit
' Not the kind of old movie you
see on television after hours. 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. Al
sb available if needed will be Jim
Blocker. and Chet Makarewicz.
- The Lion's will be quartered in
Watauga Hall, on the North Caro

IM Chomps
Had Little
Trouble
Records show that Sigma Chi
and the Sinkers, fraternity and
independent IM cage champions
respectively, had little trouble in
sweeping their opponents in :the
recently completed season.
Sigma Chi rolled to nine con
secutive victories, seven - of them
coming in-regular League' E com
petition, and tallied 325 points
against its opponents' 189. Sigma
Chi concluded its successful sea
son by dropping Phi Sigma Del
ta, 47-38: to win the fraternity
championship.
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. Edin
boro had won 31 consecutive
games over three seasons before
becoming the victims of the red
hot Sinkers outfit.
The new champs had a season
record of 13-1, and won their last
13 games in succession. Dorm 23
claimed the only victory over the
Sinkers, a forfeit November 8.
After that opening game• set
back, the Sinkers piled up 616
points as against 276 for their op
ponents. The new independent
titleholders finished their regu
lar season in a three-way _tie for
first place in League •J, - but
smashed Dorm 23,39-15, and
Dorm 36, 62-13, in the tie play
off games to sew up the league
crown.
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.
The 1951-52 intramural cage
season was the most successful in
its history as 91 per cent of the
scheduled games were played, ac
cording to figures released•yester
day by "Dutch" Sykes, assistant
director of intramural athletics.
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.
