Gagne On McGill Staff Montreal, April 1 -- (CP) -- Ap- pointment of Roch (Rocky) Robil- lard, halfback with McGill Red- Football Union last season, as a member of McGill's Athletic De- partment Staff was announced on Friday. The 165-pound Ottawa student will take up his duties in the fall (This. is another in a series on prospects of major league baseball teams). . +* + » By JACK HAND West Palm Beach, Fla, March 31 --(AP)--Pitcher Joe Coleman's arm trouble and lack of a capable left fielder are serious threats to Connie Mack's dream of a Golden Jubilee year pennant. Loss of a regular starter like Coleman, even on a temporary basis, could ruin the Philadelphia A's ex- cellent pitching staf;. The load might be too heavy for Toronto- born Dick Fowler, Lou Bressie and Alex Kellner to carry. Pitching and an airtight infield formed the basis for Mack's early optimism. With his "big four" staff and his nea' inner defence, the agile old gentleman could afford to overlook his left fi-'d problem and lack of home-run power. Now things are different. Coleman: (18-14) complained of the injury last season. Doctors are not sure of the troublé in Coleman's right shoulder. Many close to the A's believe' h will not be ready for the opener. Mack, celebrating his 50th year as a mane~er at the age of 87, has moved little Bobby Shantz, pint- sized lefty, into the starting line. Much will depend on his ability to come through. Fowler (15-11) has been slow com- ing along, much behind last Spring. Kellner (20-12) had arm trouble early. Now h: says he's all right. Brissie (16-11) looked like his old self in his last outing. There is a chance that Phil Marchildon , of Penetanguishene Ont., may be able to come back. So far he reports no pain from his sore arm in test runs. Bob Hooper, a 19-gameé winning | Buffalo grad, probably will do relief | work, helping BEd (Specs) Klieman | and Carl Scheib. | Barney McCosky may be the an- swer to the gaping hole in left field. | Barney is working himself into shape slowly after a serious back | Spicy Bits From Other Sports Cols. By JOHN PATTERSON Canadian Press Staff Writer Toronto, April 1--(CP)--Take it from a guy who has been up there and played with the best of them, a young fellow still waiting in the Wings of Big-League hockey is the "best of them all." When Danny Lewicki of Fort William, Stratford and - Toronto skims up the ice he can double- shift defencemen right out of their pants, "Flash" Hollett says. "Flash" should know, He played in the National Hockey League for many years and now is a veteran tower of defence strength with the Allan Cup-hunting Toronto Marl- boros. Danny, 19, this month, is the youngest player eligible for this year's Stanley Cup playoffs and is Toronto Maple Leaf property. He played the season with Marl- horo Juniors, graduating to thé Seniors when the Juniors were knocked out in Ontario Hockey Association Junior "A" playoffs. Hal (Toronto Globe and Mail) Walker reminisced with "Flash" Hollett about some of the rink wigards he had seen in the big time. Better Than Busher "Flash" said "Busher" Jackson, who made a puck do tricks when he starred on left-wing with the had the best two-way shift he'd seen until he met Tewicki. ; "Busher wds poetry in motion on skdtes and he could shift you sut of your pants. But Danny can: do that and more, : "He leaves you standing like a Cigar Store Indian at times. He has a powerful backhand and a fine slap shot. And he's accurate. For my meney he's the best I've seen." How about Bill Cowley, formerly of Boston Bruins? "Bill didn't have a shift," Flash replied. "He would fool you by push. ing the puck between your legs and going around you to pick it up again, He was real cute at that." ! Well, what about Milt Schmidt, still starring wit thé Boston squad? Lewicki has a better shift than Schmidt, said Hollett. "Milt can only shift to his right: Art Ross used to have him prac tice for hours trying to shift te the left, but he couldn't master it." Helmets Not Needed "Ace" Bailey, whose brilliant hockey career ended when he crashed to the ice 16 years ago, doesn't think helmets are the an- swer to the problem of héad injur- ies. Milt (Toronto Star) Dunnell ask- ed "Ace" for comment after thé injury to Gordie Howe of Detroit Red Wings.

Brooklin Dodgers Hopes High With Batch of Young Players > | Complacency Said Only Worry Of Last Year's Pennant Winners New Prospects Fill Old Holes. VERO BEAOH, Fla. --Unless over- WWinfidence and complacency do their dirty work, the Brooklyn Dodgérs figure to win the National League penndnt as they did in 1949. Certainly no club faces the 1950 season with brighter prospects. To kegin with, this is a young team. With the exception of Jackie Ro= binson and Captain Peewee Reese, no member of the starting line-up 4s past 30. Only three of the 18 pitchers currently on the roster are over 28. : Up to now the Dodgers' condition- has been retarded by injuries. At one time five players were laid | up by the flu, outfielders Gene Her- manski and Carl Furillo were side- lined by leg injuries, infielder Eddie Miskis had 4 dimaged shin, pitcher Jack Banta was nursing a sore shoulder and Reese was convalesc- ing from a hernia operation, Shetten Concerned Burt Shotton, the grim, grey- haired manager, however, has been more concerned with the mental attitude of several .front-ranking players, In a closed clubhouse meet- ing recently he said so. "Some of you men are too com- placent," he rasped. "You think be- cause you won last year youre go- ing to coast this season. Well, it's time to rid yourselves of the idea nd get down to business. Either ex. in shape or you move else- re." On the material side, the No. 1 Brooklyn headache, as in the past, is pi . Most of the trade talks by President Branch Rickey were designed to hook that "one more capable starting pitcher." But even without additions, the prand of hurling figures to be better. Don Newcombe, the big Negro righthander, will be avail- able from the start of the season. Alt] he didn't join the Brooks from Montreal until the last week in May last year, Newcombe wound yp with 17 victories. Some even pre- t he'll win 30 games %this year. If Ralph Branca and Rex Bar- néy settle down to help Preacher Roe and Joe Hatten, tht could be it. Branca and Barney, loaded with ability, have been erratic as ever this . Left-handers Joe Roe and Hatten have been sharp alon with Newcombe. Jack Banta an Carl Erskine also are in the run- ning for a starting berth. Erv Pali- ca and Clem Labine, a 23-year-old workhorse from St. Paul, figure to do most of the bullpen work. Then there is Billy Loes, a 20-year-old prospect who must be kept because of his bonus status, and Dan Bank- head, 28-year-old Negro. right- Bander who won 20 and lost seven Montreal. . Best Catchers = oy Campanella and Bruce Ed- wards give the Dodgers the west _ catching staff in the league. Three infleld positions aré filled to every- one's satisfaction. Gil Hodges has first base all to himself. A skilled in more than 100 runs and walloped 22 homers last year. Jackie Robinson, the league's batting champion, stolen- | base leader and most valuable play- er, is a cinch for second base. Reése, slowly rounding into condi- tion still is the stellar shortstop.

State College, Penn., April 1 (AP) --Bob Higgins, retired Pennsylvania | | football coach, Was reminiscing | about Jim Thorpe, a former team- mate on the Canton Bulldogs who has been getting considerable notice recently . . . "Thorpe weighed about | 215 when he played pro football, | and he could run outside and cut | in; he could hit the line, he was | | a great kicker and he could pass | well. He didn't like to tackle, but | he could really smack them down when he had to. : | "There was one game against George Halas' team, the Staleys, when they were on -our two-yard line. They sent a big fullback through and Thorpe hit him so hard the referee told me. later it sounded like a butcher throwing a | quarter of beef on the block. We got the ball and Thorpe, who had been kicking high punts all after- noon to draw the safety man up, booted a long, low one over his head. It went out of bounds 80 | instead of having the ball on our two-yard line, they had it on their own six.
