It isn't the quantity, he is worried wor-ried about but rather the quality. It is true, he has a few boys who have had considerable experience, but by and large, it is an extremely ex-tremely green squad. And, for that reason, he is not predicting any great achievements for his diamond crew this spring. . , However, Dixon may get some good pitching from Harold Chris-tensen Chris-tensen and Norman Christiansen, both of whom also can play pretty well in the infield. "Harold and Norm ar ejust about the best we have," Dixon commented Saturday, r while discussing his prospects. pros-pects. "When one of them is pr. pitching the other probably . . will be playing some place in the Infield. "Norm is head and shoulders above everybody else on the club, when It comes to all-around ability. abil-ity. He is not only a smooth fielder, field-er, but a good hitter as well, in addition to being a good hurler. x- 'VBut, after you get past those Coaches Insert 4 New Changes Into Casaba Rulebooh "'NEW YORK, March 27 (U.R) live additional changes, one of them for high schools, were inserted in-serted into basketball's rule book today following final approval by the national basketball committee. commit-tee. Concluding its two-day conclave con-clave yesterday, the committee announced these modifications for the court game: 1 A foul committed on a throw-in from out of bounds will be treated as a personal foul instead in-stead of a technical foul. 2. Restrictions on a player withdrawing and reentering a game during the same time-out will be removed. 3. In college games, the dock will be stopped each time the ball is dead in the last two minutes min-utes of play instead ofthe la si three minutes Of play. 4. The rule on "continuous action" ac-tion" was modified so that a player in possession, if fouled, will be allowed to continue any legal -action other than a dribble in making a try for a field goal. 5. In high school play, the mid-period intermission called by the referee in the second "and fourth, periods will be reduced from two minutes to one minute. two it is anybody's guess who will be on the team. Frankly the prospects aren't too good. However, How-ever, I think the kids will hustle and that will help some." There is no question but what- Dixon expects Chrls-tensen Chrls-tensen and Christiansen to crry the brunt of the pitching pitch-ing load. In fact, they are about the only hurlers he has uncovered so far, with the possible exception of Boyd Dowell, a sophomore. Both Chrtstensen and Christiansen, incidentally, are juniors. Merrill Strong, a tall senior who played tackle on last fall's Wildcat eleven, and Jae Ballif, captain-elect for next fall's grid team, look like the best bets for the catching position. Strong is a senior and Ballif a junior. Grant Brockbank, a junior, has the inside track on the first base post, with Dave Young, a rangy-ninth rangy-ninth grader, the next in line. Elroy Nelson looks like the best bet for the keystone sack at the present time, with Eddie Maloney, a sophomore, pushing him pretty hard.
