Both Gibson and Bridges hurled .500 ball last year. Gibson
had a 9-9 record and Bridges
won 3 and lost 3.
PHILADELPHIA Phillies are
expecting two sepia players to
play a big part in their drive to
be a contender. They are Frank
iHerr-a and Henry Mason.
Herrea was the International
League's most valuable player
last season, leading the league
in homers, 39; runs batted in,
129, and averaged .327.
*
Mason   won   12   and   dropped
three for Buffalo.
We understand the Chicago
Cubs have two new rookies that
may be in the starting lineup.
Sammy Drake at third base and
Lou Johnson in rightfield. Drake
is a brother of Solly Drake and
Johnson is a product of the Kansas City Monarchs.
• A PERSON is usually delighted when his hunch, prediction
or premonition comes through. In our case we are very unhappy
in our prediction last week that the drawing of tht NAIA All-Stars
by Ohio State in the Olympic tryouts might not ba the blessing It
seemed, proved to be correct.
The Bucks were way oft form and lost to the NAIA All-Stars in
the opening game and thus were eliminated from a chance of win.
ning a place in the Olympics, as that forced them to play in the
losers' bracket.
They defeated the NCAA second squad and the Phillip Oilers,
who were the 1956 Olympic representatives.
• OHIO STATE has many stars but it seems that as Mel Nowell goes, so goes the Scarlet and Grey. When Nowell is right, tha
Bucks are unbeatable, and when he is off they are in trouble. The
latest example was last Thursday night. Nowell was held scoreless for the first time this season and thc Bucks lost to an inferior
team.
The next night Mel scored 13 points and was his usual self and
they won.
. -   • .  ■
We are told that Joe Roberts, although be did not receive
any vote* for the Olympic team, did Impress the pro scouts aa
much that he is expected to be picked in the first draff.
The NAIA's team victory
over Ohio State was a big feather in tbe caps of the Negro
colleges of the midwest and
the southwest.
We know that at least five of
the NAIA stars were from Negro colleges: Cleveland Buckner of Prairie View, Charles
Hardnett of Grambling, Gene
Werti, Ross Johnson and Porter Merriweather of Tennessee
A-I. Merriweather was chosen as an alternate for the
Olympic team. ^
There were at least 19 Negro
stars on the various squads
who participated in the tournament. Three of them were
picked for the Olympics and
two were elected as alternates.

AL JACKSON
• THE TRIO includes Oscar Robertson of Ciney U., Walt
Bellamy of Indiana and Bob Boozer of Peoria, one of the AAU
teams. Wayne Hightower of Kansas and Merriweather were the
alternates chosen.
Bellamy was the most underrated player of the year. He
never got thc press notices that Darrell Imhoff of California and
Lucas did. But Lucas rated him the best collegian they faced and
the experts at the tournament said Bellamy was the best pivot
man on the All-Stars. Some of them went so far as to say that
Coach Pete Newell showed favoritism by starting Imhoff instead
of Bellamy.
• COLUMBUS Jets' pennant hopes received a big boost
Monday night when Pittsburgh announced that Al Jackson was
among the players tbey were releasing to the Jets.
Jackson won 15 and lost four last year for tbe Ohioans in an
abbreviated season as he spent part of the season with the Pirates . It was the loss of Jackson and Joe Christopher that dropped the Jets from the roof to the basement. When the Pirates
returned them, the Mound st. team started to climb, but it was
too late to catch Buffalo.
...
• OHIO STATE opened football practice this week. Unless
Coach Woody Hayes get- a lot of help from tho freshman squad it
will be another long season.
•
Woody has already started juggling hia material to find out
what he has. In his search for a game breaking back at left half
he has demoted last year's left half, Bob Ferguson, to second
string fullback and moved freshman Ed Ulmer of Cleveland to
first string left halt
Paul Martin, who played end, guard and halfback last year,-
has been moved back to cud.
