MAIL TRIBUNE, Medfera', Oregon, Tuesday, January 27, 193f ' (Four Basketball Men Chafed As Likely All-Americans United Press International Four fellows sure to draw heavy backing in the All America poll just two months from now are Johnny Cox, Oscar Robertson, Bob Boozer, and Jerry West -and one glance at Monday night's col lege basketball results will explain why. All four flashes hit for high scores to pace their high ranked teams to victory, maintaining their rank among the nation's "top 10" teams. Cox, the only starter back from Kentucky's "fiddlin five" that won last season's Kansas City To Aim for This is another in a se ries of 18 dispatches by ma jor league managers giving mid-winter appraisals of their teams.) By HARRY CRAFT Manager, , Kansas City Athletics (Written for UPI) Kansas City. Mo.-EPD-I m not setting a goal for the 1959 Athletics like I did last year when we were aiming for victories and beat that by three games. I won't even say that we will be a first division con tender. But we will be shoot ing for a .500 percentage and. If we hit that, we won't be far out. I believe we can hit the .500 mark this season with a little natural improvement and the bench strength we have added. Additions like Wayne Ter williger, John Bella and Dick Williams have given us that bench strength we have sore ly needed. They and some other young fellows will give us more ma neuverability this season and the competition for jobs this spring will be greater than It ever was. And a little competition never hurt anyone. Battle for First First base, in particular, will be an interesting position this spring. Fellows like Pres ton Ward, Harry Simpson, Whitey Herzog, Kent Hadley Jim McManus, Hal Smith and even Bella and Williams will be out to win it. If I had to name my first baseman today, I couldn't do It. It wouldn't be fair to those fellows. But pitching is the most im portant thing to the ball club. Unless someone changes my mind, we'll start out with the same rotation that we got go ing toward the end of last year. Bob Grim, Ned Garver, Ralph Terry and Ray Herbert. My mind is still open on the fifth starter. Of the young pitchers, I'd say Howard Reed, the big Texan, has an excellent chance of making the ball club. He's got the stuff and good control for having only one year of experience. Grim could be the No. 1 man on our staff from what he showed in the last two months last season. Bob Cerv and Roger Maris will give us defense and punch in the outfield. Praises Lopez. De Maestri Bill Tuttle in centerfield is better and more valuable' than the record indicates. He hit only .214 last year, but he got the key base hits and key bases on balls. I can't say that the rest of the infield is set, but Hector Lopez swings a good bat and showed good improvement when we shoved him in at second base last year; there's no question about the defen sive ability of Joe De Maestri at short, and you couldn't ask WHO CAUGHT THREE NO-HIT NO-RUN GAMES? Jim Hegon caught three no-hifc' no-run games during hte 12 years in the majors. The pitchers were Von black, Bob Lemon and Eiwell Blackwell. TOP THIS! To any reader submitting contrary proof. Tip Brady will send a si?ned, wallet-sized diploma. Write to: BEAT THIS, co this paper. Box 575, Saosalito, Calif. Enclose self-addressed, stamped envelope. A HtUm Nlfu brtiUM (MOM . Beat Tins! NCAA championship, poured home 18 points in the first half and a total of 23 in the game to pace top-ranked Ken tucky to a 94-70 revenge vic tory over Georgia Tech. Cox's opening-half spurt boosted the Wildcats into a 55-43 lead and wrecked Tech's hopes for a repeat of last year's upset of the Wildcats at Atlanta. 14th Wildcat Win The win was the 14th in 15 games and fourth straight for the Wildcats, but left -them one game behind unbeaten Auburn in the Southeastern conference race. Athletics .500 Season for a man to step in and do a metter job than Hal Smith did at third last year. Here's where that bench strength and maneuverability come in. Terwilliger, Milt Graff and Mike Baxes will be in the running for these posi tions in addition to the fact that Lopez can move to third and Smith could take over at first or behind the plate. Of course, our catching staff is pretty well manned with Harry Chiti and Frank House. Hawkinson's Butte Falls in Butte Falls came close to scoring its first Southern Ore gon Independent basketball league victory of the season last night but Hawkinson Tire Tread service fought uphill in the final minutes to overcome the mountain town team 67 to 65. ... Hawkinsons rallied from a 49 to 56 deficit to take the game. LaRue Smith put the Tiremen on top 64 to 63. Butte Falls retook the lead on Darwin Moore's bucket but Ron Peery made it 66 to 65 for the Medford team and Dick Niles added a free mark er with a minute to go. Athletics Sign Up 12 Kansas City, Mo.-UJPD-The Kansas City Athletics had an even dozen players under con tract today with the signing of southpaw Walter Craddock and shortstop Rac Slider. Craddock, 26-year-old Mount Hope, W. Va., product, is one of the big question marks for 1959. The young left-hander had an 0-2 mark and little service for the A's last season after an 18-8 season with Buf falo the year before. Slider, 25, a slick fielder from Simms, Texas, batted 221 for Little Rock after re turning from service and be ing bothered by a bad leg.

The Mountaineers sank only 26.8 per cent of their first-half shots and trailed by 12 points at intermission, but West led a pressing attack that turned the tide. The only other team in the "top 10" to play Monday night was ninth-ranked Brad ley.

MEDFCRDvTRIBUNI ON MAGAZINE COVER The pint-sized Triumph-powered dragster, above, owned and driven by Jack White, Medford, and familiar to valley drag racing fans, appears in a color photo as the front cover subject of the February issue of Rod and Custom, a Los Angeles publication. The magazine is cur rently on local newsstands. Pages 18, 19, 20 and 21 are devoted to the speedy little racer which has picked up tro phies in B dragster races and in C dragster competition against big cars. White's machine is described as 241 pounds of dynamite. It is called perhaps the world's smallest drag ster. The article tells of the car reaching beyond 100 miles per hour. The pee wee machine has been chauffeured by White at 102 mph. White, owner of White's Cycle center on North Pacific highway, reports that a new engine is under construction and looks for new horizons in performance.

Ugly Swings 'The Swing's By HAL WOOD United Press International Palm Springs, Calif. -There was a day when all golfdom proclaimed: "The swing's the thing." But take it from the tour ing professionals, it doesn't hold true any more. "All you have to do is take a look at some of the top money-winners on the circuit today," says Bo Winninger, who has been making a high living off the circuit for a decade. "Of course, it's nice to have a beautiful swing. I think I have a pretty good one my self. But that doesn't always pay off." Bo opines that his swing should be worth more than the $435 a week he is making this year. "There are some beautiful golf swings on the tour," he pointed out, "Ken Venturi's, for instance. "But down through the years some ugly swings have made a lot of money. Take Bob Rosburg, for instance. His isn't the best by a long shot, but last year he won the Vardon trophy for having the lowest scoring average per round for the year.

SOC's Raiders and the Owls of OTI have clashed once this year in an extremely close game in Klamath Falls which the Raiders won 71-67 in the closing minutes of the con test. The Raiders are in extreme ly poor shape with Punk Bid' dington, Glen Peterson, and Dave Love all having some trouble or another. Bidding- ton still has an injured knee, Peterson is recovering from a separated shoulder, and Love is nearly well from a sprained ankle. This leaves the Raiders with seven able ballplayers with two men up from the Jayvees to fill some of the gaps and give the Raiders none phys ically able men. Four Regulars Set Southern Oregon will have four of its regulars in its starting lineup in addition to Dick Smith who was a starter in the OTI game last week which the Raiders won -by four points. Center will be Dave D'OI ivo, the senior from Klamath Falls, who has been averag ing 15.5 points per game. Flanking him will be regular Don Vannice and Smith.
