. 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

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

Br LEO H. 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."

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

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.

only the Communist "party line," your future Is In

Little Marinka's classes are not at all like those your daugh

parents' every "incorrect" political statement. Her geog
raphy teacher tells her how American troops "occupy"
Western Europe and threaten the borders of her country.
And in her physical education class, Marinka will be
taught how to operate a rifle.
How is she to learn the facts? How wOl she know we
want only peace? Hie truth can still get through to her.
Because Marinka's family and millions of other oppressed
people behind the Iron Curtain can still listen to Radio
Free Europe. Every day, every hour, the 29 super-powered
transmitters of this freedom network are at work, over
powering Red efforts at "jamming," slashing through Red
