They're talking about an outfield of Lou Piniella in left, Amos Otis in center ard Pat Kelly in right. Piniella was one of the surprise stars of 1969, Otis is the highly valued defensive whiz obtained from the world champion New York Mets during the winter and Kelly is one of the sensations of the 1970 Spring training season. Kelly drove in three runs with three singles and a double and scored three runs Tuesday as the Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers, 124. Bob Oliver hit his third homer of the spring, Jack Hernandez and Paul Schaal each drovein three Tuns and Ellie Rodriguez and Otis had three hits each for the Royals, who are 4-6 this spring. It wasonly Otis’ third game of spring because he had been sidelined with a kidney ailment.

It marked the fourth time the 59-year-old Hoosier has won the award. Wooden was Coach of the Year in 1969 while the Lew Alcindor-led Bruins marched to their third consecutive NCAA championship.
