Tornado Pels Opp (Battles "GP Friday; ose Crater Quintet . Four seniors and a sopho ' more may be in the starting line-up for Medford high Fri day night when the Black Tor nado opens its two-game week .end hoop series with Grants Pass. The five are Larry Brown, 'Ron Peery, Tom Hamlin and Don Bowling, seniors, and " Jerry Anderson, sophomore. That's the combine Coach - Frank Eoelandt has been working with much of the " time in preparation for the Cavemen. The mentor reported that Lowell Dean, sophomore scor ing ace, will be back in serv ice for the Tornado. It's doubt ful that he'll get starting call on Friday. Dean missed about two weeks of practice because of a foot infection. Naturally, he won't be at full strength and, while Koelandt may have him in the line-up much of the time, he'll likely, give him frequent rests. Medf ord will be out to push from third into second place this week end while the Cave men eye their opportunity to sew up second place in the Southern Oregon conference and a spot in the state A-l tourney. Friday's game at the Hedrick court here will be followed by Saturday conten tion at Grants Pass.

The Pels will be heavily fa vored but Crater has turned in some sterling performances this season on its home floor. Grants Pass can sew ud sec ond in the loop by sweeping both eames from Medford. The Tornado needs two wins to get ahead of the Cavemen. A series split will preserve the one-game GP edge over Medford. For the Cavemen Coach Gordon Prehm is expected to call upon his usual crew of Jerry Putnam, Paul Lind quist, Jim Smith, Mike Spar lin and Dick Hayes with Pete Proctor, Chuck Rembert and Fred Thomas seeing quite a bit of duty.

PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Tampa, Fla. OPi Al Lo pez, more optimistic man ever, had a ready explana tion today for those criticiz ing his Chicago White Sox for trading away such estab lished players as Minnie Mi- noso and Larry Doby. He'll do anything to beat the Yankees. And he feels this is the year it will be done even without Minoso and Doby. The White Sox gave up those two outfielders and pitcher Jack Harshman to get among others, Early Wynn, Al Smith, Billy Goodman and Ray Moore. "I think we can take the Yankees with those players added to what I've got," he said frankly. "After all, we wouldn't have made those deals unless we were sure they would help us. So we had to give up good players to get the men we felt we needed to win the pennant." More Than Tired Lopez admitted he was "more than a little tired" of finishing second to New York. He's done that six times, five as manager of the Cleve land Indians and last year in his first season at the helm of the White Sox. Only once has he finished ahead of the Yankees, when his Indians won the pennant in 1954. "I wanted Wynn because he can beat the Yankees and all the otner nubs, ne ex plained. "I wanted Smith be-- cause he seems to play his best ball against the Yankees. I needed Goodman to plug a hole at third base and while he may not be the best field er in the world, he's a handy man with a bat in his hands. "And I wanted Moore for our bullpen because we lost 27 games last year in the last two innings of play simply because we didn't have the right guy in the bullpen. I'm sure Moore will be the right guy this year. Better in Field "Smith may not hit as much as Minoso, but he'll do a bet ter job for you in the field," Lopez pointed out. "Wynn wants to beat the Yankees as badly as I, do. You can bet that for every Yankee series I'll have Wynn, Dick Donovan and Billy Pierce ready to shoot at them with Moore in the bullpen." Wynn and Donovan are the only two right-handers in the1 league who have beaten the Yankees more times than they have lost to them. Lopez calls his pitching potential "the best in the league." While he tabs the Yankees as the club to beat, he warn ed that the Tigers "are going to be tough to beat, too." "But if we beat the Yankees we'll win the pennant," he added. "And I'm sure with those four new men we'll do it this year. No more of this finishing second for me."

February 27. 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN Effigy of Coach Hanged at CI Caldwell, Idaho (IP) Col lege of Idaho officials said today the hanging of a straw figure labeled "Babe Brown" fornia Saturday and Washing ton State Monday. Next week they meet WSC and Idaho in the Inland Empire. on campus Wednesday did not reflect thinking of any faction of the student body. Instead, they said, it was just a student "prank." - School President Tom Shearer last week announced that J. A. (Babe) Brown would take over the reins as'head football coach at the college in addition to being athletic director and coach of basket ball and baseball. There was indication from some students that Brown's appointment meant a de-em phasis on football at the school. Shearer said, however, that the appointment did not mean de-emphasis or any change in policy in "any respect." Red China Believed To Have New Leader Of Military Forces Hong Kong (IP) General Su Yu has -.emerged as Com munist China's top military man, diplomatic sources be lieved today. In day-to-day practice, he has become the "real head" of the army, these sources said, while aging Marshal Chu Teh now is 1 merely a "ceremonial" chieftain, and Defense Minister Peng Teh Huai is confined to strictly administrative matters. Su, it is believed, now pulls the strategic and tactical mil itary strings in 'his job of chief of staff of the People's Liberation army. His role was emphasized when he accompanied Pre mier Chou En Lai and For eign Minister Chen Yi to North Korea on a visit which resulted in the announcement that Chinese troops would be pulled out of Korea this year. It has been regarded as sig nificant that Peng, who com manded Chinese troops in Korea from 1951 until 1954, did not make the trip. Competent Soldier Su, who was born in Fukien province in 1909, is regarded as an extremely competent soldier. He first came to note in 1934 when he stayed be hind as a guerrilla when the Communists began the "long march." His guerrilla band later became the nucleus of the new Fourth Army formed south of the Yangtse river when the Sino-Japanese war broke out. When the Communists came to power in 1949, SU became deputy commander of the East China military region, and in April, 1952, was nam ed assistant chief of staff of the People's Revolutionary Military council under Hsu Hsiang Chien. In late 1954, he was ap pointed chief of staff of the CONSULTANT DIES Washington (IP) Funer al services will be held Fri day for Haword D. Wheeler, 77, a long-tune newspaper man and recent government consultant on problems of the aged. Wheeler died at his home here Wednesday, He was the first editor, in 1908, of the then San Francisco Daily News. He later became managing editor of Harper's Weekly. From 1930 to 1936 he was chief editorial writer for The New York Daily News. army and a member of the National Defense council. In 1956, he was elected a full member of the Communist party's Central Committee. No Disgrace There is nothing to indi cate that Peng is in disgrace, but it seems apparent that he no longer is acting as a sol dier, but rather as a politic ian, much as is Chu Teh, prob ably the most respected sol dier in China. But Chu, who is vice chair man of the People's Republic, has little or nothing to do with military matters any more. Peng undoubtedly does in that he is defense minister. . Presumably broad policy is decreed by the Communist party's Politburo of which Peng is a member." But it ap pears that aside from basic political considerations, it is now being left up to Su to direct the army's affairs. Thus Peng and his vice ministers of defense may have lost some of their, con trol over the loyalties of the Army. According to qualified ob servers,, it is Su who has as sumed the role of number one soldier in Red China today. New Advances in Heart Study Seen New York (IP) Ten ex perts today predicted new ad vances in the fight against heart and blood vessel dis eases in the coming decade, including improvements in surgery techniques. The 10 physicians, all past presidents of the' American Heart association, forecast new strides toward an under standing of artereosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), more effective control of high blood pressure and greater reductions in the number of cases of rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. The doctors said surgery on the heart and blood vessels would be improved . with the aid of heart-lung machines, "deep freeze" operations and "stopped-heart" procedures. Within the next decade, they said, there may be very few inborn defects of the heart that cannot be relieved or abolished completely by surgery. w ttnr M E CiW .
