They said they were minding their own business, just a bunch of guys named Roger Maris, 30, Clete Boyer, 28, Joe DiMaggio and Hal Reniff having a quiet snort in a dark bar after a hard day at the Yankees' Fort Lauderdale training camp. But Male Model Jerome Modzelewski, at the next table, says somebody tossed a wild pitch at his girl. Maris says Jerome kept damning the four Yankees.

Villanova, No. 8 in the nation, had whipped both Princeton and Providence; St. John's had beaten Michigan.
