Dale Bates, cagy guard from Creswe'l, was the only three year letter winner. Bill Hollingsworth, forward from Ashland and second team all-conference OCC, was one to pick up his second-year letter.

By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Vero Beach, Fla. (U.R) The world champion Brooklyn Dodgers are "hurting" this spring, but they still look like the class of the National league. They are hurting because Johnny Podres, their World Series pitching hero, is Navy bound; pitcher Karl Spooner is having more arm trouble, and their captain and sparkplug, Pee Wee Reese, has a back in jury. But they are loaded with tal ent &nd even Walt Alston, their taciturn manager, agrees "We are the club to beat." Podres will be the only key player -missing from their first world championship team. The rest of them are back, and both Spooner and Reese are confi dent they Will be all right. They'll have Gil Hodges at first, Duke Snider in center, Carl Furillo in right, Roy Cam pan3lla behind the plate and such pitchers as Don New combe, Carl Erskine, Billy Loes, Don Bessent, Roger Craig and Clem Labine out there on the mound. Backbone of Club They, together with Reese and in the series, Podres form ed the backbone of the club in 1955. For the positions open, there are plenty of candidates. For instance, Randy Jackson, ob tained from the Cubs and Jackie Robinson are battling for the third base spot. No matter which one makes it, the Dodg ers do not figure to be weak there. The same is true of second base, shortstop and left field. If Reese should come to the end of the . road, Brooklyn has spunky Don Zimmer and rookie Chico Fernandez, who hit .301 at Montreal last year, ready to take ove'r. ' . ' At second, Junior Gilliam, who also can play left field; Zimmer, and rookie Charley Neal, another Montreal gradu ate, are available. And for the left field spot there are Sandy Amoros, whose catch saved the Dodgers in the series; rookie Gino Cimoli, a .306 hitter at Montreal in 1955; and Gilliam and Robinson if they should be beaten out of their infield posts. The Dodgers have depth in every position except first and that isn't much of a worry when you have a durable guy like Hodges out there. But if some thing should happen to the slug ging first baseman, Robinson can play the bag. Pitching No Weakness Pitching long has been rated a Dodger weakness, but actually is one of their strong spots. Newcombe was' 20-5; Erskine 11-8; Loes 10-4; Bessent 8-1; Craig 5-3; Labine 13-5. Back of them are fellows like Ken Lehman, a 22-winner at Montreal; Chuck Templeton, who won 14 at St. Paul; Sandy Koufax, the bonus pitcher who won a big game against the Red legs last year, striking out 14 men; Ed Roebuck, who was one of the best relief pitchers in the league for the first half of the season; Jim Hughes, the relief star of 1954 but a bust in 1955; and the sleeper of the group, Don Elstun, a 17-game winner at Los Angeles. As for catching Campanella stands out in the National league like Yogi Berra of the Yankees does in the American. For power, speed, pitching, defense, bench strength and everything else, the Dodgers seem to have it at least on paper. Campbell Told To Lose, He Testifies at LA .Los Angeles (U.R) Ex-light weight boxer Tommy Campbell testified at a Los Angeles boxing probe yesterday that he was told to lose to Art Aragon at the Olympic Auditorium May 16, 1950. He said under oath that the agreement to throw the bout was arranged between his man ager. George Moore, and match maker Babe McCoy before the fight. Walter Burkemo Seminole Victor Palm Beach, Fla. (U.R) Walter Burkemo walked off with first place money of SI, 800 in the Seminole Pro-Amateur Golf tournament today. The curly-haired former PGA champion from Franklin, Mich., putted to perfection over the tough Seminole course Tuesday and wound up with a two-under-par 70 that gave him a 138 total. Ted Kroll, who was the day's biggest money winner, fired a final round 71 for second place, which was worth SI, 000. He teamed up with Herbert Schef tel of New York for a best ball 62-63 125 that won the pro am side and earned Kroll an other S1,000. , Ed Furgol of St. Louis and Jack -Fleck of Davenport, . Ia., both of whom fired second round 73's, also shared third place with 141 totals. Wes Santee Returned To Sidelines New York (U.R) ,Wes San tee's suspension from track was back in effect today as State Su preme ; Court Judge Walter A. Lynch prepared to receive fur ther evidence in the suit brought by Santee against the Amateur Athletic Union. "Judge Lynch put Santee on the sidelines yesterday when he discontinued, at least temporar ily, the Supreme Court injunc tion that Santee had obtained against his suspension. That means that, as matters now stand, Santee won't be eli gible to run in the Chicago Daily News track meet in Chi cago. Under the injunction, San tee had competed in three meets during this indoor season. But Charles P. Grimes, Santee's at torney, said the Marine Corps mile star had not intended to compete at Chicago, anyway. AAU Scores Victory The AAU scored another, probably more significant, vic tory, over Santee yesterday when Judge Lynch tossed out the third part of Santee's com plaint, namely, that violations of the amateur code for track stars had been permitted so oft en in the past that the rule now is unenforceable. The dismissal came when attorney Grimes ad mitted he was unable to proceed on arguments on this point now. The dismissal wiped out any chance of a parade of track stars, former track stars, and meet officials to the stand to tes tify on how well the amateur code has been adhered to in the past. i::.-:Sv -WBa.

Hollingsworth, Hoffine Ring Up Raider Records Ashland Bill Hollingsworth, sophomore from Ashland, be came the first Southern Oregon college Red Raider to score 500 or more points in a single basket ball season since Keith Wade set the all-time season's record in 1949 with 575 points. Hollingsworth, who has two more seasons of eligibility at SOC, headed the Raiders in sev eral departments in addition to total points scored, including the highest average per game, most free shots made, field goal ac curacy, and in rebounding. The Ashlander rolled up 502 points for an average 19.3 per game. He got 182 free throws and from the field shot a remarkable .525 per cent. Lloyd Hoffine, all-OCC first string forward from Coos Bay, was the number two man in scoring with 481 points, an aver age of 18.5 per game. . His 481 points helped to establish a four year scoring record at Southern Oregon with 1652 points.

Rhodes Raps Three Hits For Giants By JOE SARGIS United Press Sports Writer Giant Manager Bill Rigney hardly : ever mentions Dusty Rhodes as a left field candidate, but the hitting hero of the 1954 World Series appears today to have a "lock" on the job. Rhodes, one of former Man ager Leo Durocher's favorite characters and a legitimate long-ball threat,' got three hits m all Tuesday, two of them homers,' to lead the Giants to a 9-5 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.. The homers were his fourth and fifth of the spring and he's been up only 31 times. Cubs Winners The homer-hitting Cubs made it two straight over the Cleve land Indians, 14-7, with Ernie Banks, Hank Sauer, Walt Moryn and rookie Ed Winceniak sup plying the jackpot pokes. Early Wynn, Art Houtteman and Ray Narleski absorbed the punish ment.
