Everybody's at home (> Hawks Bring Up ~ Western Junior To Pro Ranks Lethbridge, Alta, March 9--(CP) --Guyle Fielder, a 20-year-old hockey playenwhose press clippings already exceed those of numerous stars many years his senior, will get his first taste of National League action this week-end. Fielder, one of the most publicized junior pucksters in Western Can- ada during his two-year stint with Lethbridge Native Sons, left here by plane Wednesday to join Chicago Black Hawks in Montreal for their | Saturday night meeting with the; Canadiens. The flashy centre is also sched- uled to play against Detroit Red Wings Sunday and Toronto Maple Leafs next Thursday. He will then return to Lethbridge to spend the h off-season. ' Pielder ended his junior career last week when the favored Native Sons lost out to Crow's Nest Pass Lions in the Western Canada Junior Hockey League semi-finals. But the American-born star, whcse par- ents live near Seattle, enjoyed two tremendous seasons with the Native Sons. The first year he racked up 104 points in 130 league games, was name. the most valuable player and selected the'league's all-star centre. He lost the scoring title to Crow's ests Vern Pachal on the last day Lif the season. 4' This year, however, he sparked the Sons to the league pennant and took individual scoring honors with 100 points, 21 better than runner-up Eddie Litzenberger of Rezina Pats. He has already been selected as the league's most valuable player for the second straight season and is regarded as a cinch-to be chosen as ali-star centre again. Tiny Thompson, the Black Hawks' chief scout and a pretty fair play- er in his own day, labelled Fielder "The greatest passer I've ever seen in profe ional or amateur hockey." Fielder is chunky, packing 165 pounds in his five-foot-rine frame. His greatest assets are clever stick- handling and an uncanny ability to make the perfect move at the right moment, A Regina defenceman was heard to remark this season "that you can't hit Fielder. If you try he'll make a fool out of you before you "jan get your balafice back."

TRAINING CAMP BRIEFS New York, March 9 -- (AP) -- Muscles, larynxes and posteriors well-enough oiled now, the major- league teams have decided to chance it--the spring exhibition baseball schedule starts tomorrow. Pitchers and catchers in Florida, Arizona and California have been rounding into 'shape since mid- February and should have a jump jon' the infielders and outfielders | who weren't due to report until March 1, official opening date for the spring exercises. The long exhibition schedule probably will see rookies and vet- eran minor-leaguers drawing most of the starting assignments. Many prospects will be cut from the squads before opening day in mid- April. Some will show enough to stay up for at least the first 30 days of the regular grind but only a few are expected to last through the campaign. Two important changes in the spring exhibition grind this season involve the Brooklyn Dodgers and the world champion New York Yankees. The Dodgers will play 14 of their scheduled 18 games in the million- dollar Miami, Fla, stadium at night. The Yanks, for the first time, will play on 'the Pacific Coast. The Yanks switched train- ing sites with the New York Giants this year, moving from St. Peters- burg, Fla., to Phoenix, Ariz, In addition to the rookies much interest will centre on the per- formances of Ted Williams and Lou Boudreau of the Red Sox, and Joe DiMaggio of the Yanks. All three are question marks. In the case of Williams the question it, "Has. he recovered completely from the broken left elbow he got in last year's all star game?" The uncertainty about Boudreau is whether he will play as he did in 1948 when he sparked Cleveland to the world championship. The question about DiMaggio: "Is he completely cured of the heel in- jury that's bothered him the last few seasons?" . Max Lanier Signs Card Contract St. Petersburg, Fla, March 9-- (AP)--Max Lanier, the southpaw hurler who jumped to the Mexican league in 1946, signed a new contract yesterday with St. Louis Cardinals. Lanier is reported to be in the $17,000 class. He won 11 and lost nine last season.

In the Eastern Division, Hershey Bears downed Springfield Indians 5-4 to move within four points of the leading Buffalo Bisons while Indianapolis Capitals downed Cin- cinnati Mohawks 6-3 but they aré | still 16 points behind the pace-set- ting Cleveland team. At Hershey, Jerry Brown scored in the final minutes cZ play to give Hershey their victory before 2,850 fans. Ed Harrison sparked the Hershey attack with a pair of tallies in the first period. Jerry Schertzl also scored in the first stanza. Spring- field notched two first-period goals by Harry Pidhirny and Armand Le- mieux. John Mahafey added another for Hershey in the second period to have Pidhirny nullify it for Spring- field. George Ford tied it up for Springfield at the half-way mark of the third session before Brown notched the winning goal. At Indianapolis, Joe Carveth scored three goals to lead Indiana- polis to victory and assure the Caps a spot in the playoffs, Max McNab, Rags Raglan, Jerry Reid and Carveth all scored in the first period for Indianapolis; Car- veth added two more in the second. | Jack Hirschfeld scored Cincinna- ti's first goal early in the second period, and was quickly followed by Fern Perreault.

Annual Games Hamilton, March 9 (CP)--A total of nearly 500 entries from 52 different clubs or schools, includ- ing some of the leading runners in the United States, have been re- ceived for the annual indoor track meet here Saturday of the 0lst Highlanders Athletic Association. Officials said Thursday the greatest array of track stars ever to appear in 'a meet here is ex- pected to be on hand for the num- erous events. The meet is recog- nized as one of Canada's top-flight indoor track competitions of the season. The list of outstanding U.S, run- ners includes' Don McEwan, the Ottawa boy who has built an im- pressive record with Michigan Uni- versity the last two years. Holder of several Big 10 Confer- ence records, McEwan will compete in the mile race against Larry Ellis of New York University, Per An- dresen, former Norwegian 1500- metre champion and now running for Alfred University, and Selwyn Jones, the Hamilton Olympic Club's brilliant young middle distance star.

' 'weht into the net suffering from a pre-game shot that 'caused - Sports Roundup By HUGH FULLERTON, JR. Charlottesville, Va., March 9 (AP) --As a guy who thinks .the "T" formation is the greatest thing to hit football since the penalty for an incomplete forward pass was eliminated, Virginia's Art Guepe is a little puzzled . . . Art has ob- served other coaches who are switching to the split-T (Guepe's favorite version) and notes that they all call in a quarterpacking specialist as the first move . . . "I think the importance of the backs in the "T" has been greatly over- emphasized," says Guepe . . . "the line is more important." It could be that Arts thinking has been influenced by the loss of most of last year's linemen. His big problem during spring drills is to find big boys who can move and perform the blocking chores re- quired of them . . . but with the aid of chalk, a blackboard and a few thousand words, Art makes out a pretty good case. Give 'Em No Quarier "It isn't too hard to make a "T" quarterback out-of a boy who never has played the position," Guepe says . .. "of course, it helps if he's tall enough to look over the line at the defence . . . If you use the straight "T" he has to be a good passer and if you use the Faurot (split) "T" he has to be able to run . . . but a single-wing tailback has to be a triple threat and you usually can make a quarterback out of him . . . In fact, it's a lot easier to convert single-wing backs to the "TI" than vice-versa." . . . But in the line--there's the dif- ference and there's where the chalk and blackboard come into action . .. A Virginia lineman has to learn two assignments for each play --one for the "on" side, where the ball is to go, and one for the "off" side . . , ten he has to know how to block three ways, depending on where his opponent plays in the plits," or maybe take out a backer- are often left to face two and three. attackers alone, and the forwards who are seemingly, "way up the ice when there is work to be done." This wasn't. true of all the team by any means . . . but some of the boys were showing sits of falling into this bad ru CHECKLETS--Bruce Giese- brecht, one - time headliner with the 'Windsor Spitfires of the Junior "A" league and now playing for Omaha Knights of the USH.L, was injured in the auto ecrack-up that also caused Bill Warwick, John Hol- ota, George Homenuk and Em- manuel McLean to go to hos- pital. The boys were all travel- ling together when their car struck a construction sign. The car skidded a reported 192 'another 68 feet before rolling down a 30-foot embankment, turning over four times in the process. Detroit Tigers, who recently - came to terms with Hoot Evers, have been quoted at odds of 6-1' to finish first in the American League pennant race. Evers signed "for. a reported $33,000. Last year the odds were a lot worse for the Rolfe club, but t the schedule they proved to be a tough apple . . this year their position looks that much. bétter.

Ontario skiers will have to head for northern areas to find good snow for sking, the Travel Department said Thursday, Skiing conditions at Fort William, Port Arthur and Sundridge are reported excellent. They are rated good in the Haileybury and Huntsville dis- tricts. Conditions are fair in Kenora in northwestern Ontario. There is skiing in Collingwood Spring only on the upper bush trails. "There is no snow on the tow hills at Flesherton or Markdale but skiing is fair in the bush. There is no skiing at Barrie, Cobourg, Dagmar, Midland, - Orangeville, Peterborough or Toronto Summit, : + * It's still a long way from challenging rivalling cricket and soccer, but baseball is becoming increasingly popular in Australia. Its growth was reflected in an announcement Thursday that a United States alle star baseball team would visit Australia this year. The team, which' toured Japan last season and holds the World Amateur Championship, will take part in the 1951 Australian Jubilee Carnival at Adelaide, and will play exhibition games in Syaney and Melbourne . . .

The series is a best-of-five semi- finals, up or call for help if they throw an extra man into the defensive line. He must know how to use his head and give a hand or foot signal to the backfield if he's going to block his man in an unorthodox way . . , all this explains another of Guepe's ideas: That recent talk about eliminating spring practice is nonsense . . .
