The American Kennel club-approved trial will open at 8 a.m. Friday with the amateur all-age stake. Open all-age competition will rap up the event on Sunday. Two other stakes, derby and qualifying will be held. Most of the series in the various stakes will be conducted in the Game Commission management area near the military bridge on Rogue river.

St. Mary's Places Two On Al!-Sfar Laval Meunier, of the champ ion St. Mary's high Crusaders, and Don Vannice, of the Pros pect Cougars, received the unan imous vote of coaches and teams in the poll for selection of the 1956 Jackson County B League all-star basketball team. St. Mary's placed one other player, John Walsh on the all conference five. Rounding out the team' were Bill Weaver, Rogue River, and Bill Irwin, Butte Falls. . ' Honorable Mention Honorable mention went to Dick Paup, St. Mary's; Bob Hoff man, Talent; Harold Moore, Rogue River, and Jim Daniels, Prospect. Each team in the loop and the coaches of the six member school picked all-opponent teams in the poll. They were not per mitted to choose their own play ers. That meant that to re ceive honorable mention Van nice and Meunier each gained 10 votes. Results of the poll were an nounced by Fred Richardson, Jacksonville, secretary of the coaches' organization. Morris Catcher Candidate at Linfield College Linfield College, McMinnville, Ore. Baseball drills are now being conducted seriously here this week as the Linfield Wild cats continue drills for their opener March 31 with the Ore gon Ducks on the Linfield dia mond. Coach Roy Helser is working with a crew of 39 men at the present, including a pitching turnout of 12 hopefuls. On the squad list are 12 lettermen, in eluding four veteran hurlers. The pitching lettermen are right handers Bill Croco and Bob Diller, and southpaws Dick Duerr and Marve Scherpf. Other lettermen turning out at the present include first-basemen Don Porter and Vern Mar shall, second - sacker Johnny Bergan, shortstop Marty Bergan, third-baseman Jerry Beier and Dick Shaw, and outfielders Dick Brown, Ron Parrish, Marshall and Byron Phillips. Brown let tered as first-line catcher last year but will likely be used in the outfield this year, leaving the receiving spot wide open for a new man to step into. Top Pitching Prospects Among the men trying to fill the position behind the plate are Jim Burton, Gary Wells, Howard Morris, Hank Crawford, Gordon Hammerley, Gene Man ley, and Vic Fox. Among the top pitching pros pects hoping to crowd the letter men out of starting jobs are Carl Meeuwsen, a top semi-pro hurl er last summer in the state; Don Schaeffer, junior from Lebanon, who did lots of throwing for the JVs last year; Al Pruett, south paw from Bandon, who was in eligible last year but should help this season; and Dwayne Miller, a hard-throwing frosh righthand Qr. Several other men could also help the Wildcats as they seem ingly have come up with one of the toughest hurling staffs the Northwest conference has seen in some time.

OJ.R) San Francisco's undefeated basket ball team aims for its second straight NCAA championship tonight ai'd Coach Phil Wolpert expected that rival Southern Methodist would have to fear the potent Dons. The Dons, winners of their last 53 games, were an 8-point choice to defeat the Southwest conference champion, winners of their last 19. in one semi-final clash. Iowa's Big Ten titlehold ers, with a 16-game winning streak, were rated nine points better than Temple for the other semi-final. The Dons will miss K. C. Jones, a standout a year ago who was ineligible for this tournament because he has played in three previous season. San Francisco rated as the nation's best defensive team go ing into the final two nights of the championship, allowing its opponents 50.7 points per game, but Wolpert said the defense this year was no better than on last year's title club. No Repeater Yet Should the Dons win the tournament it would be the first time in history that a team has repeated Oklahoma A&M won in 1945 and 1946, while Ken tucky -von in 1948 and 1949. Only one other team has ever entered the NCAA finals un beaten. Columbia won 21 with out defeat in 1951 but lost to Illinois in the first round of the tournament. San Francisco has won 27 without ciefeat this year. Iowa's Coach Bucky O'Con nor reported his starting for ward, Bill Schoof, would be able to start against Temple even though he suffered a charley horse in the last game Saturday against Kentucky. O'Connor said his team would be stronger on defense and off the boards but not as deep as the club which won fourth place a year ago. Temple also was handicapped by a back injury to Capt. Hal Reinfield. and Coach Harry Lit wack said he was an uncertain starter. "Iowa is a good rebounding team." Litwack said, "and this ball game will be decided on rebounds." Ha? 3 4s i i rf it On Way Out Portland (U.R) Bill Borcher was reported on his way out as University of Oregon basketball coach today and was mentioned as a candidate to succeed Al Brightman, resigned mentor at Seattle university. The Oregon Journal said an "unimpeachable source" stated Borcher planned to submit his resignation publicly -when he re turns from a Chicago meeting of the nation's basketball coaches. In Chicago today, Borcher said reports of a resignation were "surprising to me." He said he assumed they were linked to the Seattle vacancy but "I don't know anything about that yet, either." Personality Conflict The Journal story said there had been no indication of dissat isfaction with Borchcr's record. Rather, the story said, it has been a ' matter of "personality con flict." . , Leo Harris, athletic director at Oregon, was away from Eugene and not available for comment. Borcher's (name w;is reported among thqs6 being considered for the Seattle university job which Brightman quit Monday. Father Robert Rehbahn, S.J., director of athletics at Seattle, left for Chicago yes'terday and plann'ed to confer with Borcher. Speculation on a successor to Borcher also popped up and in cluded Al Ncgratti, coach ; at Portland university, and Wayne Slurdivant, now Lincoln high school mentor.

Solons Should Be Foe for Coast Loop Clubs This is the fourth in a series on the outlook of Pacific Coast League teams for the 1958 baseball season. By ALEX KAHN Pasadena, Calif. (U.R) Sac ramento likes a winner or at least a contender and it looks like the Solons will prove a worthy foe to the top teams in the Coast League this year. Last season Sacramento fin ished in the cellar but most of their supporters believed that would have been at least sixth if it were not for a slow start. They're not making that mistake this time, judging from the buzz of activity in training camp. More than any one player transaction, the best winter deal the Sacs made was in acquiring able Tommy Heath as manager, backing him up with fiery Ferris T?iir rtf tyioi"t locriio (rlr,, ! playing coach. The only PCL team without a major league affiliation, Sacra mento' has been using cash ac quired in player sales to last year's squad to pick up the men it needs. "We don't have to wait for a major league- team to decide long after our season has opened if we'll get the help we need," Heath explains. "And if we de velop a player we either keep him or get enough from his sale to buy a top replacement." After what he had to work with last season at San Fran cisco, Heath is dazzled by the array of talent that Dave Kelly, the Solons' personal director, either has delivered or promised. Sacramento sold such players to the majors as pitchers Bud Daley, Johnny Briggs, the griz zled Marino Pieretti and short stop Richie Myers. In addition to Fain, who de spite his 34 years is expected to see much action at first base or in the outfield, the Solons have acquired outfielder Hal Rice from Los Angeles, pitcher Joe Stanka from the Cubs who got Briggs and Myers in the deal, pitcher Mike Coen from Terre Haute, the veteran Bubba Church from Los Angeles and Clint Weaver, an outfielder from Toronto. Weaver hit .314 with Fort Worth in 1954. The mound staff is rich with age. having such vets as "Chesty Chef Johnson, Earl Harrist, Rex Jones and reliefer Milo Candini. There is a shortage of south paws, with Johnson being the only portsider hurler. Behind the plate, Heath has only Dan Baich from last year but he is working Harry Bright in the position along with Jim McKeegan who divided time be tween the Solons and Modesto last year. The infield probably will have Ted Bell at short, George Risley or Tom Agosta at third. Nippy Jones or Fain at first and Ray Webster or Jerry Street at second. Heath also is high on Rufe Crawford. Al Heist and Russ Rosburg for his outfield. "We'll be shooting for third place," Mr. Tommy says. "And with a few breaks and a good early start it is not an impos sible task." B5 !
