EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) Memorial Scoreboard Benefit Fracas To Be Wednesday at Senior High Gym Members of Medford post of the American lgion reported preparations almost complete for the basketball contests at 7:45 pm. Wednesday, March 28, at the senior high school gymnas ium." East and West side merchants teams will vie in what is billed as a hilarious preliminary. In the regulation game Medford high seniors and next year's pos sible prep team will contend. Entire proceeds from ticket sales will be used to purchase an electric scoreboard for the high school football field. This board will be a memorial to A. Z. (Tubby) Dean, sports enthusiast, who was working on the project at the time of his death. 127 Buy Blocks A total of 127 business and professional men purchased blocks of tickets to enable the Legion to order the scoreboard at once. Merchants in turn are selling these tickets to the pub lic at SI each. Each person buy ing a ticket will have his name written in a book which will be sealed in a copper box. The box will be placed in the corner stone for the scoreboard. Legionnaires said they know there are many people in Med ford and vicinity - who were friends of Dean and appreciate the work he did for young peo ple. It is hoped that 1,300 of these people will purchase the tickets. The Legion committee stated that fans should get their tickets immediately since they must be bought well ahead of the games if their names are to go into the book. Many mer chants in the downtown area hae the ducats. Ceremonies for sealing the book in the box will take place at halftime with Mayor Diamond Flynn in charge. Considerable feeling reported ly has developed concerning the prep fracas with both clubs pointing for the contest. Among those playing for the seniors will be Dennis Conner, Don Spinas, Derald Wooton, Jack Boardman, Justin Smith, Nick Smith and Earl Covey. On the other crew the squad wil include Roland Thompson, Dick Atter bury, Ed Bingham, Ned and Ted Landers, Dick Wooton and Bob Christian. Merchants Training West and east side merchants' clubs have been training fur iously for their short fracas and each team is said to have some surprises in store. Although the fray is a prelim, it is being rated at a "don't miss" attrac tion. Dick Finch of Home Ap pliance, Bob Rector of Medford Furniture and Dave Kublik of the Toy House reportedly have worked hard to round up a strong east side crew and have about twenty, players.

PETERSEN Miami (U.R) Chuck Dressen is on the spot, as manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, but he is con fident his club will win the Na tional league pennant. If it doesn't, Dressen knows he prob ably will be looking for a new job next October. Most baseball men feel the Dodgers will win despite its lack of championship pitching. In all other departments it is the soundest club in the major leagues. It has speed, power, brilliant defense and everything else it takes to win. But that wasn't enough last year and it might not be enough this coming sea son unless Dressen cones up with new hurling strength. Not Worried "Everybody seems, to feel I don't have the pitching, but let me tell you I am not at all wor ried about it," Dressen said. "Naturally it hurts when you lose a 20-game winner like Don Newcombe, but I have a lot of good prospects. Maybe none of them will win 20 but if I can come up with a couple who can win from 12 to 15 games each we'll be better than all right so far as pitching is concerned." He named aging Preacher Roe, who won 22 and lost only three last season; Ralph Branca, the 13-game winner who served up the home run ball to Bobby Thomson which gave the Giants Cormick of the Big Y market is coach and believes his club will win in a breeze. Gene Orr of Weeks and Orr Furniture and Hugh Williams of Dean's service, managers, and Groceteria Bill Gates, coach, plan to field a lively aggregation from the west side. Gates has been taking his team on a five mile run every day but he has been the only one to go the full dis tance. He drives his car. Where Tickets 'Available Among downtown stores where tickets may be obtained are The Patio, Adriennes, The Toy Shop, Lantis and Wilsons, Western Thrift, Burelson's and Hadleys. Other places with tickets are Jack Sides Richfield station, Stephenson Lumber company, Beck's bakery.

AMERICA'S SMARTEST "HARD-TOP Most new Tuesday. March S3, IMS the pennant in a playoff: Carl Erskine, with a record of 16 and 12; Clem Labine, who hurled five victories and lost only one game after being called up in mid-season from St. Paul and promising Chris Van Cuyk, an 11-game winner at Montreal, as his starting pitchers with Clyde King, who won 14 last season, as the No. 1 relief man. "The other four spots are wide open and it really is going to be a problem to select them," Dres sen said. "I probably won't de cide until opening day. Even then I'll carry a half dozen or so until it comes time to cut down the roster to 26 players." Can Carry 26 The Dodgers can carry 26 this season,, even though the usual number is 25, if they keep pitcher Bill Loes. Loes was in the service last season and thus does not count in 'the player limit. Loes is one of a half dozen leading candidates for those four other pitching spots. The others include .John Podres. the vouns southpaw for whom the Cleveland Indians of fered $250,000; Joe Black, who the Dodger front office believes will develop into an other Newcombe; southpaw Johnny Schmitz, who seems to have lost the stuff which made him one of the best in the league during his hey-day with the Cubs; and Phil Haugstad and Clarence Podbielan, both of whom were with the team all last season but showed little. In all other departments the club is set with an infield of Gil Hodges at first, Jackie Robinson at second, Captain Pee Wee Reese at short and Billy Cox at third. The outfield shows Carl Furillo, Duke Snider and Andy Pafko. Roy Campanella, rated the best catcher in the league, will be behind the plate. Williams Reported Set As Giant Second Bagger Phoenix W.ra it s omciai from Manager Leo Durocher 23-vear-old Davev Williams is the successor to Eddie Stanky as the New York Giants second baseman. He'll open in Stanky 's old job and "there's nobodv close to him," Durocher said. "I believe he'll hit .260 and if he does that'll be enough." Williams, a $65,000 purchase from Atlanta in 1948. played in 30 games for the Giants last season and did not commit an error. He hit .266 and batted safely in eight straight games during one stretcn. of the new! Champion admired, most desired Studebaker in years! Staiunei Boxing Pact Bans Aimed At Hoodlums Chicago (U.R) A joint cam paign to drive "hoodlums out of boxing was expected Tuesday to result from an agreement be tween the Illinois and New York boxing commissions. Chairman Robert Christen- berry of New York signed the pact with the Illinois commission Monday. It provided for "mutual recognition of . . . penalties" and contracts, but set up the "right of review" for each commission. Both Christenberry and Chair man Joseph Triner of the Illinois commission called conclusion of the pact an "historic thing in boxing. "It's a move in the right direo tion," Christenberry said. "If we don't clean up boxing, we can look for federal regulation, and there's enough of that in other things now. "If we have an honest desire on the part of the commissioners. it will be a simple matter to eliminate bad practices. "There are only a small minor ity violating the rules," Triner said, "but they should be driven out of the game. OSC Schedules Duck Gridders For Portland Corvallis (U.PJ Athletic Di rector Roy Spec Keene said Tuesday that Oregon State col lege would shift its traditional football game with University of Oregon next November 22 from antiquated Bell field here to Portland's Multnomah stadium. Keene said OSC's intercolle giate athletic board decided on the move because of the expense required to put Bell field in shape for approval of insurance underwriters and because more alumni and fans would be able to see the "big game" between the cross-state rivals. The Beavers already have three games scheduled for Port land, including Michigan State. Washington and Southern Cali fornia. Their only home game at tfeii field next fall will be a nomecoming contest November 15 against Idaho.

(U.B Sammy Snead and Doug Ford will be among the field competing here Tuesday in the Aiken one-day, pro-amateur golf tournament, ln stead of battling each' other in a playoff in Jacksonville, fla. Veteran Snead of Whit Sul phur Springs. W, Va., and dark horse Ford of Harrison. N. Y.. were tied at the end of the fourth round of the Jacksonville open Monday with cards of 280 for 72 holes. And officials an nounced they would play off for the crown Tuesday. . But then Snead announced he would forfeit the playoff be cause he felt fans would think, if he won. that he won unfairly. The veteran slammer's action stemmed from a penalty-stroke dispute that occurred in the sec ond round of the open last Sat urday a dispute that was ruled in his favor. Snead apparently felt that many folks disagreed with the ruling and would hold it against him should he beat Ford in a playoff. When Sammy bowed out. the action gave young Ford the first major win of his pro career and a $2,000 first prize. Snead re ceived a $1,400 prize for second place. Joe Chcx Hurls Indians to Win Palo Alto, Cal. (U.R) Univer sity of Oregon's baseball road trip into California struck a snag here Monday when Stanford' Indians walloped the Oregon ians, 15-4.

Stan Aune. who started for Oregon, was touched for, five runs in the first inning and gave way to Don Siegmund in the second inning. The game was called at the end of eight stanzas by mutual consent NEWHOUSER HAS TROUBLE Lakeland, Fla. (U.R) The odds still appeared to be against Hal Newhouser in his bid for a comeback with the Detroit Tig ers Tuesday.

"We have never seen them in action, or scouted them. We'll have a freshman, Kenny Sears, who is only 18 years old, attempt to guard Clyde Lovelette, Kansas' All America center."
