The Axemen whipped Al bany last night for their eighth straight triumph. 4 Medford Coach Frank Roe windt said that he has brought John Frohnmayer up from the j a y v e e s this week. Whether Frohnmayer will go against the Axemen and, if so, how much he'll play, are questions still to be answered. Roelandt's aim is to see if the hoopman will help on de fense and on rebound re trieving. Still Crippled Don Bowling, who frac tured a foot bone,, and Jerry Anderson, who has been bothered by an inflamed ten don, are still considered on the Tornado crippled list, al though both played at Klam ath Falls last week end.

Medford&Tribune Selection of Jury Near Completion in Girl's Murder Trial Wednesday, January 8, IS58 Dons Tame Santa Clara In Breeze By UNITED PRESS The University of San Fran cisco Dons, ranked fourth among the nation's college basketball teams, have proved that the Spanish dons of early California, aren't the only ones noted for their horse manship. The high-kicking Broncos of Santa Clara galloped into San Francisco's Cow palace Tuesday night looking for trouble, and while 10,000 fans watched in astonishment the Dons transformed them to Shetland ponies. USF had the reputation but the Broncos had shown so much spunk that the contest was billed as the gauge of power in the West Coast Ath letic conference. Starters Lounge However, the gauge fell apart as the Dons breezed to a 65-42 victory, although the entire first string was loung ing on the bench in the final minutes. In other games, St. Mary's kept pace with the Dons by swamping San Jose State, 72- 53, and College of Pacific an nihilated Chico State, 72-35, In a non-conference game. The Broncs couldn't get the bit in their teeth against the Dons. They could only must er 12 field goals in 65 at tempts for a dismal 18.5 per cent shooting average. Gene Brown led the scor ing for USF with 15 points, while Jerry Basich and Jim Russi were high for the losers with eight each. The victory was the 11th straight for the Dons and gave them a 2-0 conference record. It was the first conference game for San ta Clara and its third loss in nine games.

Cavemen Thump Tornado In WrestHnq Encounter A strong Grants Pass high wrestling squad yielded only the two hefty bouts to Med ford in a card here last night.

Snow Suils Most Important Attire Amherst, Mass. Oil Snow suits are the most important part of children's cold weath er wardrobes, says Virginia Davis, clothing specialist of the University of Massachu sets Extension Service. Two-piece suits with an ex tra pair of pants are the best bet for older children. The single-piece snow suit is bet ter for toddlers, she said. Two-piece suits are adapta ble for wear without jackets in less severe weather. The extra pair of pants is neces sary because the lower half of a snow suit gets the most wear. The two-piece outfit also allows for more growth, with less alteration demands from mother, Miss Davis said. Ad justable suspenders keep pants at desired lengths; knitted wrist and calf cuffs keep out the cold and mois ture. Miss Davis noted that mod ern manufacturing methods have brought lighter-weight wools with ample warmth. Synthetics, such as nylon and orlon, and synthetics mixed with wool speed up the dry ing rate.

(IP) Attorneys for the; prosecution and defense hoped to com plete selection of a jury today to hear the murder trial of Suzanne Elaine Soule. Miss Soule, a 20-year-old typist from Freeport, N.Y., is accused of bludgeoning and stabbing to death her pretty socialite roommate, Catherine Marie Elvins, 19, last July in their Burlingame apartment. Pulling at her powder blue sweater from time to time, Miss Soule sat stoically throughout Tuesday's session as attorneys droned question after question to prospective jurors. However, she displayed more interest in the proceed ings than on Monday. She glanced occasionally at notes made by her attorneys and turned one or twice to gaze at the veniremen. Now and again her red rimmed eyes filled with tears and she stared hard at the ceiling to keep from giving way to an emotional outburst. District Attorney Keith Sorenson said he will call as one of his first prosecution witnesses John R. Ward, Miss Soule's brither-in-law. He will presumably tell how she burst into his apartment last July 26 and announced she had slain Miss Elvins. Victim's Parents arrive Sorenson said that Miss El vins' parents, Dr. and Mrs. Richard Elvins of Seattle, Wash., will be here for the duration of the trial. Sorenson made it clear he will demand a first degree murder conviction and the death penalty. Miss Soule has pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. Defense attorneys G.Brooks Ice and John A. Cost indi cated they will show that the dead girl had some "unpleas ant" personality traits. In questioning one prospec tive juror, Cost said Miss El vins had "personal attributes that perhaps were not the most desirable." "The defense will explore these unpleasant traits and I don't want you to think we are doing it just to blacken the name of the dead" he said. "We must, present the facts to you as we know them." Unpleasant Traits Among these traits, Cost suggested, were Miss Elvins' habit of "always bragging about her money and her col lege education," and her "grating voice." Cost indicated that Miss Soule will take the stand in her own defense. Her moth er, Mrs. Frank Soule of Free port, is also expected to tes tify. She is expected to say that her daughter once suffered a head injury in an auto acci dent and that she impulsive ly moved away from home early last year and moved to California. By the time court ad journed Tuesday, attorneys had examined 39 persons in their effort to agree on a jury of 12 and two alternates. The trial is expected - to last a month.
