ney berth. Medford is Idle this
week.
On the basis of two earlier
wins over Crater, Grants Pass
will be favored this week. But
the Comets gave the Cavemen
some good battles the last time
and showed that they could spoil
GP hopes when they split last
week with Ashland which has
won three of four from the Cave
men. Emphasizing Offense
In their Saturday night mix
with Ashland, nevertheless. Cra
ter made only five field goals. So
in preparations for the Cavemen
coach Jim Nau has been era
phasizing offense. Concentration
has been on set shots from out
side. Comet defense last week
end, Nau felt, worked fairly well
with the exception of spots on
Saturday.
The Crater mentor has in
dicated a possible starting line
up of Fred Herrmann, Dick
Davis, Randy Campbell, Joe
Teeter and Jerry Kime. He said
that Kerman Bennett and Paul
Beach have been brought up
from the jayvees. Wayne Allen
has dropped from the varsity for
health reasons.
For Grants Pass it will be the
game since coach Ray Davis
turned in his resignation effec
tive at the end of the school year.
What effect that action and the
reaction in the school and in the
town will have on the squad and
its performance remains to be
seen. GP has a bye last week end.
The Cavemen starters likely
will come from among Jim
Smith, Chuck Rembert, Pete
Proctor, Chuck Lasher, Gary
Tompkins, Mike Sparlin, Bob
Fowler, Larry Henderson, Lary
Walker and Jerry Putnam.

UCLA Rival
For Oregon
This Week
University of Oregon', Eugene
Oregon will play its third
straight conference series at Mc
Arthur court this week end and
Coach Steve Belko rates the in
vading UCLA Bruins as "the best
balanced team we have played
this season."
Coach John Wooden's club
has lost only one conference
feame in the last 36 and is cur
rently involved in a red-hot
three-way race with Washington
and California for the PCC
championship. "They have won
derful shooting from their top
seven or eight men," Belko
added, "and also have fine squad
speed and rebounding strength."
The Duck coach said the
Bruins would present a different
defensive problem than Wash
ington, poinling out UCLA is de
pendent on speed and balanced
shooting for the strength of its
attack. "They don't have a
Bruno Boin or a Doug Smart,"
Belko continued, "but any one
of their top men can have a hot
night and beat, you."
Best Game
In reviewing the series with
Washington, Belko said he
thought his Webfoots played
their best game of the season
against the Huskies on- Saturday
night. He-praised the work of
Paul Tuchardt, the reserve cen
ter, and said the Oakridge jun
ior was improving more rapidly
than any other member of the
squad.
Belko also was pleased with
the work of Eli Morgan, the 6-6
sophomore forward from Port
land. "Tippy Dye told me Mor
gan did the best defensive job
of the season against . Boin,"
Belko reported, "and I would
certainly agree that Morgan has
come along very nicely, par
ticularly on defense."
Phil McHugh and Charlie
Franklin also played well against
the Huskies, Belko added, and
he rated McHugh as one of the
finest team players he has
coached. "McHugh's attitude is
great and is typical of the entire
squad. We've lost a lot of games
and not once have they shown
any signs of quitting," Belko
pointed out.
Oregon's unbeaten freshman
team plays the Oregon State
Rooks and Surroz Motors of
Salem in the preliminaries thi
week end and Belko said he
thought there were several fine
prospects on the Duckling team.

Verdict Goes
To Pastrano
. Louisville, Ky (U.R) Willie
Pastrano, a satin-smooth swiftie
inside the ring, said today he
intends to "make haste slowly"
in a long-range bid to challenge
heavyweight champion Floyd
Patterson.
"I'm just gonna keep fightin'
for groceries and let the other
guys challenge Patterson for a
while," said the fourth-ranked
contender after Wednesday
night's unanimous 10-round de
cision over Johnny Holman of
Chicago. "I want to reach the
top but I'm in no hurry to get
there."
"That's right," chimed in
trainer Angelo Dundee. "When
we think it's time for Patterson,
we'll challenge . . . but not be
fore." The 22-year-old Pastrano said
"things went about as I expect
ed" as he reduced Holman to a
plodding, one-eyed fighter and
extended his unbeaten string to
21 straight bouts. Willie puffed
up Holman's left eye in the
sixth round, closed it in the
seventh and played cat-and-
mouse with his heavier opponent
the remainder of the way.

Campenella
Center of
Attention
. By UNITED PRESS
Catcher Roy Campanella was
to be the center of attraction to
day when Manager Walt Alston
formally opened the National
league champion Brooklyn
Dodgers' Vro Beach, Fla., train
ing camp.
, "If Campanella's sound again,
he'll solve a lot of our prob
lems," conceded Alston, who lists
the veteran catcher and Navy
returnee Johnny Podres as the
Dodgers' two "big ifs" of 1957.
Campanella, bothered by bad
hands, hit only .219 last season
but has been insisting all winter
that he's sound again.
Only pitchers and catchers are
actually due for today's work
out but Alston was pleased to
learn that veteran outfielder
Carl Furillo and rookies first
baseman Jim Gentile also will be
present. Gentile is the powerful
farmhand who led the Dodgers
in hitting on their post-world
series tour of Japan.
At Tucson, Ariz., meanwhile,
General Manager Hank Green
berg of the Cleveland Indians re
vealed that pitcher Bob Lemon
has agreed to terms. Lemon, 'a
20-game winner for the seventh
time in his carere last year, is
believed to have settled for
about $45,000. The Indians still
have 12 players unsigned.
The Philadelphia -Phillies an
nounced that former infielder
Gran Hamner, who is trying his
arm at pitching this year, has
signed. Hamner was forced to
the toe plate because of an in
jury to his left shoulder which
hobbled his play at both short
stop and second base. The Phil
lies are hopeful that a knuckler
and good control can make him
a surprise winner on the mound.
On Other Fronts
Outfielder Hank Bauer and
third baseman Andy Carey
signed with the world champion
New York Yankees, who now
have 29 players under contract.
Bauer hit only .241 but drove in
84 runs and walloped 26 homers
last season. Carey, a .237-hitter
in 1956, will have to fight to
retain his job this year. .
The New York Giants reported
"all signed" when rookie pitcher
Curtis Barclay, 15-11 at Minne
apolis last season, came to terms.
The Giants are the first of the
three New York teams to sign
up their full roster.
The Pittsburgh Pirates re
ported the signing of righthander
Bob Garber, who compiled an
11-6 mark at Hollywood of the
Pacific Coast League last season.
Catcher Jack Shepard and out
fielder Lee Walls remained as
the only Bucs who have not yet
inked contracts.
ACCUSED of knocking down
police captain's sister with
car while driving from bar
after several drinks, Don
Sherwood, San Francisco ra
dio and TV star, is awaiting
trial. (International)
