Hugh Coleman, of Crater Lake Motors, who has supported the teamefor several years with equipment worth hundreds of dollars, has informed Legion of ficers that he will aid again this year. A number of other busi nessmen have indicated that they will help underwrite the program. Those interested in supporting the team may call Sides at Rogue Service and Sup ply company. Teams which the Medford Central Point club is slated to meet this season include Eugene and Albany. Sides, a former baseball play er, was a master-sergeant in the Army during World War II. He came to Medford from Duluth, Minn., in 1943. He is a member of Medford Lions club and the Presbyterian Men's club. His son, Duane, was one of the main pit chers for the Legion team last season.

Tye 473 Lear Named NCAA Tilt Top Player Chicago U.R) Temple's sharpshooting guard, Hal King Lear, was named yesterday as the most valuable player in the NCAA cage tourney, but San Francisco, national champion for the second straight year, and runnerup Iowa each placed two men in the all-tourney team.

But Lear, whose team won third place with a 90-81 decision over Southern Methodist, set three scoring records, most points in a game with 48, most points in five-game series with 260, and most field goals in five games, 63. Lear and Russell were the only unanimous choices to the all-tourney team selected by the 57 news and radio men on hand. Also selected were Iowa's for ward Carl Cain and center Bill Logan while the fifth position went to San Francisco's star guard, Hal Perry.
