Aside from being, a leader on the basketball court, Cassity. js the student body president at Buffalo High School. He hit a fine 54 percent of his field goal attempts for the season, a figure which almost matches his free throw accuracy of 55 percent.

Because of weather "Cdnditions most colleges run a very limited baseball program of their own in the spring. The college program is anoth- er example of the rapidly changing face of baseball with less emphasis on minor leagues as feeders. "We used to have.

too many minor leagues to meet our needs," observed John Quinn general manager of the Phillies, who had been an interested listener. "In the old days of Branch Rickey he would tell his scouts, 'go get me 400 players'. He'd get st few out of the bunch that would make good. We no longer are interested in quantity. We want quality.

"You'd start a kid in Class at age 18. He'd have a fair year and you'd move him to Class C. He'd do pretty good and you'd move him to Class where he'd have a mediocre year. You might fool around with him for six years. He'd be 24 and he never even got to Triple A.

We were running minor leagues just to make jobs for a lot of boys who never were going to make it anyhow. Just this winter we gave seven kids away to another organization because we had no place for them -and were convinced they wouldn't help us." Many big league clubs will be playing with less than their 25- man limit this year because of the rule on first-year players. The Phillies have six. Even if they give up on five, they can option out only one and he counts under their 25-man limit. Frick long has been in favor of 23-player limit.

"The three greatest clubs I ever saw operated In the day of the 23-player limit or less," aid Frick "They were the 1917-18 Chicago White Sox, the 1922 New York Glantsand the 1927 New York Yankees."
