Jack Sides
To Manage
Legion Nine
Jack Sides has been named
chairman of the Medford-Cen-tral
Point American Legion Jun
ior baseball committee for 1956
and will manage the team this
summer, Commander Bud Fish
er of Medford Post 15 of the Le
gion has announced.
Fisher, in reporting the ap
pointent, declared that there
are fine prospects for a good
season for the team and said that
state championship aspirations
are high. Madford-CP will be
defending district champion.
Last year it was tipped by Rose
burg in its bid to gain the state
finals.
Sides will go wholeheartedly
into the baseball project for the
post, Fisher said. He has the as
surance of help from Alva Per
kins, who headed the program
for several years and of Clifford
(Chief) McLean, who has coach
ed the team a number of seasons.
Another boost to the hopes of
the team this year is a S1.493
budget. The sum will enable the
club to play its games in "real
league" style with good equip
ment, facilities and officials.
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.
Team co-sponsor is Myers
Holland post of Central Point.

and safeties by Wagner and
Pickard.

tallies. Reinking walked. Then
McLaughlin smashed a line
drive which dropped for a sin
gle and continued rolling for a
three-base error. Kleaver in the
MedfordWTrebune
same panel put the Miners
ahead to stay. After Bennett's
single he smacked a 350-foot out-of-the-park
home run for 6 to
4.
Y'reka picked up its remain
ing runs in the sixth stanza on
four singles, Culp's double and
a ground out. Perkins crossed
with the last Medford run, com
ing home on Reinking's single
after getting to second base on
an error.

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.
Lear won th most valuable
rating by five votes over San
Francisco's two-time Ail-American
center Bill Russell, whose
26 point and 27 rebounds Fri
day night paced the Dons to
an 83-71 victory over Iowa in
the title game.
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.
It was the first time in seven
tournaments that Russell failed
to receive the "most valuable
honor," which he won in the
NCAA finals last year when he
scored 118 points in five games
for a record performance which
Lear eclipsed.
