Stengel Says Yanks Loaded
For 1956 Pennant Campaign
By SYD LOVE
Glendale, Calif. (U.R) The
New York Yankees are "loaded"
with talent at every position
and do not need additional play
ers, Manager Casey Stengel said.
"Of course, I ain't saying we
will win the pennant again,"
Stengel said. "That depends on
how well everybody pans out
for us and how the other teams
strengthen themselves."
Stengel, whose Yanks have
won the American League cham
pionship in six of the last seven
years, said he had men "for
every position," however. '
"Why, I got so many short
stops I can't even remember
their names. Of course Phil Riz
zuto is' still the best, but at his
age 37 we got to have some
help for him."
As additional infield strength,
Stengel sited Gil McDougald,
"a real major leager who can
play anywhere," and Billy Mart

Howard still will be used at

Will Play Thursday
Johnny Lee Kline and Ernest

most interesting of Abe Saper

in recent years. Both will see
action at Crater high school
gym in Central Point Thursday
night when the .famed Negro
quintet opposes the House of
David. A 7 p.m. preliminary

sional variety show holds the
spotlight during halftime of the
main game.
Tickets are on sale at Barker's
Men's store and Lamport's Sport

In March of Dimes Tiffs '
City Firemen and Policemen
won't be wearing . their usual
garb when they meet Wednes
day night in their second annual
basketball fracas for benefit of
the fight against polio but the
clubs still should be easy to tell
apart. i
The Smokeaters are expected
to appear in some version of fire
engine red. Police aren't saying
a lot about their costume's er,
uniforms, They want the fans to
come and find out. But, they
have indicated that balls and
chains would make the uniforms
complete.
The tw aggregations of city
servicemen will vie in the first
half of a March of Dimes double
bill at the senior high school
gym. Their game, at 7 p.m. will
be followed by a scuffle between
Hawkinson Tire Tread and Yel
low Cab.
Hawkinson's is one of the .top
contingents' this season in the
Medford Independent Basketball
League. The Cabbies claimed the
MIBL banner and the district
AAU mantle last year but are
competing outside the loop this
season.
The Officers of the Law will
be out to make amends for last
year's setback at the hands of
their fellow public servants. Sgt.
Rollie Pean, one of the Police
captains, said that his squad
basis its hopes on a fast break
ing offense and shifting zone de
fense. Whether the Officers can
stand the gaff of a fast moving
assault is a question. But they
hope to belie their Flatfeet mon
iker and may utilize a platoon
system, an old police standby, to
spell their forces.

As Possible
Upset Team
San Franrisr-o'tu.R) Coach
Phil Woolpert, disdainful of the
clamor that his USF Dons are
cinches to win their. 40th
straight basketball game next
Saturday night, warned today
that the possibility of California
"upsetting us is real good.""
The candid Woolpert rated
the Golden Bears as "a well bal
anced, good shooting team," dur
ing yesterday's session of the
Northern California Basketball
Writers association. -'On
the Spot'
' "We are on the spot until we
drop one which can happen
anytime," Woolpert went on.
"If we happened to look up from
our work we could stub our toe
Saturday night," Woolpert as
serted. "But we're still a pretty
good ball club and I think we'll
be up for this one." .' .
Pete Newell,, whose rebuild
ing Bears have carved out a fine
9-3 mark this year and have
everything to win and nothing
to lose Saturday, took the hu
morous approach.
"Maybe we'll put blinkers on
our kids, or point 'em the other
way," the folksy Newell joshed,
"Anyway it will be an experi
ence for those who haven't play
ed against USF yet and we'll
take the floor as scheduled."

Fastest Sleds
The trials were held to deter
mine the 20 fastest sleds in the
field of 25. These 20 will race
first when the official two-man
competition begins Friday. The
other crews will race after the
20 have taken their runs and
will have no chance to make
good times, because the track
will be badly cut up by then.
The trials ended amid a grow
ing battle over whether the 1960
games should be held in Calif
ornia and with -a U.S. plea for
a change in the bobsled rules
that favor the Italians.
Austria has announced an all
out fight to take the 1960 games
away from Squaw Valley, Calif.,
and the matter is due for a
complete hearing before the
Congress of the International
Olympic committee during the
next three days.
Fox Pleas
The bobsled plea came from

' bobsled jury, who said Italian
j teams have found a way to use
the present rules to give them
an advantage an edge that
allowed them to dominate all
the bobsled practice sessions on
the Olympic course here.
The battle lines are drawn
in the California vs. Austria
competition for the 1960 games
and the California delegation,
whose spokesman is James
Cushing, is confident of victory.
