Arm Forces Newcombe to Leave Mound By UNITED PRESS The Brooklyn Dodgers are right back today where they were at the close of the world series wondering "What's with Don Newcombe" The big 27-game winner and NL "most valuable player" O walked off the mound during Monday's batting practice at Vero Beach, Fla., and complained of the same elbow soreness which he said bothered him in the series. Newcombe said the pain was not as serious as last autumn andQhe did not seem especially concernea over me uiiin. Dr. IWrold Wendler. the club trainer also said he believed the injury was not serious although he conceded, "He'll have to take rest and heat treatment and there's really no way of telling how long he'll be sidelined." Sore arm miseries also hit shortstop Ernie Banks of the Linf ield, Pacific to Battle for NCAA Spot Salem U.R) Llnfield and Pa cific, co-champions of the North west Conference, tangle at Soifth Salem high school tonight for the right to enter the first small college NCAA tourney. The winner will move on to a second-round game against either Nevada or Los Angeles State. ELECfJlD TO TERM Washington (U.PJ Claude D. Kelley of Atmore, Ala., has been elected to his eighth one year term as president of yie Na tional Wildlife Federation. 5. Ross Brown of Albany, Ore., is the group's new vice-president. Daily's U-Orive Medford Airport MAIL TRIBUNE state tournament from the con- ference and district sewed up, the two tussles are in a sense anticlimactic. Mcdford, however- does have a slim chance to gain a tie for the league title and there will be the matter of pres tige and lively traditional rival ry. And, Grants Pass, in particu lar, would like to add to its mea ger total of four victories so far in the loop. Medford, no matter what hap- f pens, is sure of second place and Grants Pass can have no better thn fourth in the loop. Vmal Tir Coach Frank Roelandt of the Tornado may call upon his usual starters, an all senior combina tion of Dick McLaughlin, Dick Copple. Neil Plumley, Dick Puhl and Larry Perkins. Other sen iors on the squad are Larry Slessler, Steve Wisely and Mike Stearns. Grants Pass mentor Ray Davis has consistently varied his start ing quintet through the season. If he uses the same choices that he made for the games on the week end with Klamath Falls, he'll call on Mike Sparlin, Bruce Marks, Larry Henderson, Jim Smith and Chuck Lasher or Lar ry Walker. Cellar-dwelling Crater goes to Klamath Falls for the other Closing Tuesday-Wednesday se ries in the league. While the Comets with only two wins in the loop, both in double over times, will be out to salvage some glory from the campaign, the Pelicans will be heavily fa vored to sweep the series. It would take two stunning upsets by the Comets over KF and two wins by Medford over the Cavemen to enable Medford to tie Klamath Falls for the loop and district diadems. Polish Offense Crater worked last week, al though the Comets with a bye took it easy, was aimed at pol ishing the offense which has been a weak point. The Comets also took measures to strengthen its rebound positioning. Proba ble starters for Crater are Bill White, Fred Herrmann, Craig Cochran, Joe Teeter and Don Goyette. The series will be the last in basketball at Crater High for four seniors, Herrmann, Goy ette, John Greb and Dick Davis. Larry White, another senior, has his ankle in a cast after turning it last Friday. He will make the trip. Coach Jim NaU said. Klamath Coach Don Peterson will name his starters from among Ken Douglas, Bob Niles, Cliff Sutherland, Glenn Moore, Butch Kimpton and Lee McGill. at Bum Camp Chicago Cubs who had similar trouble late last season. Banks trouble was diagnosed as a slight muscle irritation, he was given a shot of cortisone and ordered to do no throwing for a few days. Manager Fred Hutchinson, meanwhile, listed the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup for their first exhibition game of the spring next Saturday and manager Jack Tighe conceded the Detroit Ti gers are attempting to swing a deal for ' a fourth starting pitcher. The Cardinals will have Don Blasingame leading off followed by Alvin Dark, Stan Musial, Del Ennis, Ken Boyer, Wally Moon, Chuck Harmon and Hal Smith. Hutchinson's pitchers for the opener with the New York Yankees will be Herman Weh meier. R. G. Smith and Lindy McDaniel. OPEN WED. We IN The Robinson Bros.
