EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday. March SI. 1SS2 Redmen Nudge Illinois; Kansans Rap Broncs; NCAA Final Tonight . MEDFORDvCWRIBUNI mm Stanley Instills New Spirit in Cardinals By LEO H. PETERSEN St. Petersburg, Fla. (U.R) Eddie Stanky, managing his first major league club, has in stilled new spirit and hustle in the St. Louis Cardinals and they promise to make things interest ing in the coming National league pennart race. Stanky is not predicting where his Redbirds will finish other than that "we'll be shoot ing for the top, just like all the other clubs." And he feels that any club which has a player of the caliber of Stan Musial "al ways has a chance." He will go with a mixture of veterans and rookies and is hop ing at least five newcomers come through. They hold the key to his pitching staff and out field. Now or Never Stanky wants to play Musial "in the outfield for 154 games" and will do so if big Steve Bilko can make the grade at first. This is the third shot Bilko has had at the job and it's now or never as far as he is con cerned. The peppery little second baseman, who still is undecided whether he will play, thinks his pitching "will be all right if three kids can make the team." - "When you mean BUS, say Continental Trailwaysl" CONTINENTAL TRAILWAYS BUS DEPOT 148 N. FRONT PHONE 3-1853 Lyle D. Rogers, Agent There are Willard Schmidt, the "sleeper of the camp" who was at Omaha last year; Jack Col lum, a southpaw who won 15 games at Rochester last season and Wilmer Vinegar Bend Mi zell, a 16-game winner at Hous ton. "If two of the three of them can hold regular starting jobs I don't think I'll have to worry about my pitching,'' Stanky said. Fifth Rookie The fifth rookie in the pic ture is Les Fusselman, who hit only .260 at Houston last year, but appears to have won the second string catching berth be hind the veteran Del Rice. Like Rice, Fusselman is an accom plished defensive catcher. Gerald Staley, 19-13; Cliff Chambers, 11-6; George Munger, 4-6; Joe Presko, 7-4, and Cloyd Boyer, 2-5, will form the front line starting hurling staff with two left har.ders, Harry (The Cat) Brecheen and 4.1 Brazle, in relief. Brecheen also will be used in spot starting assign ments. If Bilko can hold the job at first, Stanky probably will open the season with Red Schoen dienst at second, Solly Hemus at short and Billy Johnson at third with an outfield of Musial, Enos Slaughter and Wally West lake. If Musial is needed at first, Stanky might shift Schoen dienst to the outfield, where he played one season, and install himself at second. Stanky ap pears to have given i.p the idea of trying Schoendienst at first. "Right now, I only know that on opening day Musial and Schoendienst will be in the lineup," Stanky said. "Every other position is open." TOURNERS TO START Olympia (U.P.) The best of Washington's professional golf ers will tee off at the state cham pionship tournament beginning here Sunday. A pro-amateur tourney will start things off and will be followed by driving con tests. Championship competition gets under way the following day and will continue until April 2 when the 36-hole finals will be held. Ray Honsberger of Clarkston is defending champion.

(U.R) St. John's rampaging Redmen from Brooklyn, the "miracle basket ball team of the year, will bat tle it out with record-busting Clyde Lovelette and his Kansas Jayhawk mates Wednesday night for the NCAA basketball cham pionship. The Redmen astonished the cage world again last night by upsetting Big Ten champion Illi nois, 61-59, in the eastern re gional finals, but the general opinion is that the Brooklyn five will have to spring another "mir acle" to whip Lovelette and Co. Wednesday night. Lovellette, who soars six feet nine inches, racked up a mere 33 points in' leading the Jay hawks to an easy 74-55 victory over Santa Clara in the western regional final. That was a come down from his 44 points in an earlier regional game, but still it enabled him to smash two more records. 41 Field Goals ' Big Clyde thus ran his total of field goals in thfee games to 41. busting the previous record of 31 set by Kentucky's Alex Groza in 1949. And his three-game to tal of 108 points wiped out the old record of 82 set by Groza in 1949 and the four-game record of 83 set by Don Sunderlage of Illinois last year. What's more, Lovelette now has 26 free throws, only one less than Sunderlage's record of 27. It's not hard to see that St. John's hopes for another upset will depend on how they handle Lovellette. In December 1950, when the two teams clashed in New York with much the same cast, St. Johh's center Bob Zawo luk outscored Lovellette, 19 points to 15, but Kansas won, 52-51, on a last-second goal by big Clyde. "I'd rather play St. John's than Illinois," admitted Kansas coach Dr. Forrest Phog Allen. But St. John's is not to be lightly held in its battle with the team ranked No. 3 in the nation. For the riotous Redmen have now bowled over in suc cession Kentucky, ranked No. 1. and Illinois, ranked No. 2. "Providence appears to be with us," said coach Frank Mc- Guire of St. John's. "What world is this? It's impossible first Kentucky and now Illlinois." Zawoluk was the key man in the Redman win last night. chalking up 24 points Ten of those markers came in the fourth quarter which began with the two teams tied. The teams had been tied, too, at the end of the first period, 18-18. But the Redmen reeled off 10 straight points to open the second period and were on top by six at the half. Illinois came driving back to tie, sparked by little Jim Bredar and Rod Flet cher, who tallied 14 points each. But then Zawoluk went to town in the final frame. 3-Inch Disadvantage Zawoluk, six feet six inches tall, will be at a three-inch dis advantage against Lovellette in Wednesday night's battle. . Kansas never was in trouble against plucky Santa Clara, which simply ran out of sur prises after upending UCLA and Wyoming. Powered by Lovellette, the Jayhawks ' pulled steadily fur ther . ahead.

Z. (Tubby) Dean at the senior high school gym nasium today. A pair of hoop scuffles are on the program. A short prelimi nary between the east and west side merchants Is set for 7:45 p.m. with a game between Med ford high seniors and next year's possible Black Tornado squad to follow. Proceeds from the evening of basketball are to be used in the purchase of an electric score board for the high school foot ball field. The board will be a memorial to Dean, an enthusias tic supporter of sports. Merchants have bought blocks of tickets to enable immediate order of the board. They have them on sale at their business houses. Aim of the Medford Legion post, sponsor of the proj ect, is to get tickets, shares in the scoreboard, into the hands of 1,800 individuals. In this way, a large group can pay tribute to Dean and the burden of the pur chase of the board will not be on a small number. Legionnaires are hopeful of a huge turnout tonight. Both games promise to be in teresting with considerable feel ing having arisen between the rival camps. Any resemblance to basketball may be purely coinci dental in the merchants scrap and the comedy that is expected to develop may steal the show on top, 65-42, Santa Clara stag ed a desperate rally that nar rowed the gap to 67-54. But then Lovellette came rumbling in again to break the Broncos' heart with three quick baskets. Herb Schoenstein was high man for the Broncos with 16 points. 3taj8 pill Vftfii 1 Easy handling!
