A home grown product, Balko is the deadliest set shot artist on Coach Frosty Cox's squad. He is a guard. Coach Stan Watts at Brigham Young University calls this a building year at Provo and there's no doubt about it when one looks at the BYU lineup. Watts, still looking for an effective starting combination, has used sophs Bill Treu, Dick Sawyer, Valoy Eaton and Gary Crandall with some de gree of success. Treu is a 3 forward from Los.

'Didn't Think We Could Do It Buck Coach Says preseason performances are any indication, they may push the veterans for starting positions.

"It will kill baseball," Leo exploded. "They'll be cutting off the hand that fe&ds them." Leo's notoriously low boiling point was reached when CBS announced it would broadcast a "Game of the Week" on the Sabbath. Inasmuch as he's an executive with NBC and telecasts Saturday ball games for that network, Durocher is not kindly disposed toward the opposition to begin with.
