Giants Eye Stieglitz Phoenix, Ariz.-fUPD-The San Francisco Giant veterans con tinued to thump the ball hard today, but it was a hefty rookie who hogged the spot light. He's Al Stieglitz a 24-year-old catcher who has launched an all out bid to make the varsity this season. In 1954, the "Omnibus" television show starred Stieg litz in a documentary film about a rookie hoping to make the big-time. Now, Stieglitz may have fulfilled this pre diction. . ' Two Catchers The Giants have announced that they plan to keep two catchers this season. One will almost certainly be Bob Schmidt, the hard - hitting rookie of 1958 who figures to be even better this year. He bats from the right side of the dish. For the number two spot, Stieglitz is battling Hobie Landrith, a stubby seven-year veteran acquired from the St, Louis Cardinals this spring Both are left-handed batters and both have been slugging the ball all week as if their job depended on it. It un doubtedly does. - Stieglitz is a 200 pounder who hails from South Caro lina. He hit .319, .251, .314 and .296 in his minor league Campaigns, which were inter rupted by a three-year hitch in the Navy. 12 More Enter Small College Cage Tourney New York -(WD- The NCAA announced today 12 more schools have entered its col lege division basketball tour nament, bringing to 22 the teams already In the field of 32.

MEDFORDvEi&TRIBUNl Owls Dim Raider's OCC Titular Hopes Ashland Oregon Techni cal institute caught up with two quick buckets and forced the action into overtime to de feat Southern Oregon 81 to 71 last night in an Oregon Col legiate conference basketball game at Klamath Falls. Outcome of the fracas put Portland State back on top in the circuit with its 11-3 record. Southern Oregon closed out its OCC slate with the loss and stands 12-4, a half game back of PSC which has Eastern Oregon to face twice The Soc Raiders close out their regular schedule with games Friday and Saturday against Humboldt State col lege at Areata, Calif. They will vie in the NAIA play-offs in Portland next week. OTI Knots Gam . Second of the two quick buckets last night was by Dennis McKee on a steal to knot the game at 61-all. Gor don Carrigan retaliated for the Raiders but Dell Francis' jump in tne closing secends made it 63-all for regular playing time. McKee made a show of it in the overtime by pumping m two shots in the first IV minutes. Francis added an other jumper and a free throw to make the count 71-65 Paul Layher sank another from the field and again Mc Kee hit to push the margin to 75-65. Little Jim Ramseyrer hit two free tosses and McKee got four more points to offset the points scored by Carri gan, Jim McAbee and Punk Biddington as OTI coasted to the victory Southern Oregon gave up a six point lead with 2V4 min utes on the clock in regula- Christie's Beats Tire Quintet In SO Loop; Protest Possible wirisue s Oliver uonar, Grants Pass, trailed loop lead-1 er Southern Oregon college ti i .. nil .ii junior varsity by just half a game after tripping Hawkin son Tire Tread of Medford by three points in Southern Ore gon Independent Basketball league game at Grants Pass last night. The scoreboard at the end showed 77 to 74 and the score book 78 to 75. However, Fred Johnson, Hawkinson manager, said to day a protest may be filed because of the scoreboard op eration in the final seconds. Board Total Changes With 30 seconds left on the clock the board showed the Tiremen on the short end of a 74 to 71 count. So, the Med ford club, after a missed shot made an effort to get posses sion of the ball and fouled twice in the process. After Tom Flynn put in two free shots and Don Jacobson one Child Evangelism Week Observed in Valley This Week Child Evangelism Week is being observed in several Medford churces this week. Sponsored by the National Child Evangelism fellowship, the week is being observed between Feb. 22 and March 1. The Child Evangelism Fel lowship is a service organiza tion, seeking to reach un churched children through the establishment of Bible classes in the home, according to lo cal representatives. The Bible classes, known as Good News ..clubs, are be ing held in every state, and Canada, Mexico and 60 other foreign countries. Twenty classes for children sponsored by the local Fel lowship are held in Medford, with volunteer workers from several churces serving as hostesses, teachers and help ers. The classes consist of Bible lessons, visualized stor ies and songs, and Scripture memorization, representatives said. Guided by Committee The work is guided by a committee of local residents, of which Sam Oetinger is chairman. Mrs. Nina Gains is director of the work and in charge of weekly training classes for workers. The leaders and workers in this inter - denominational youth organization reported that two-thirds of the children in the United States are not attending any Sunday school or church. J.-Edgar Hoover is among those who have commended Child Evangelism for its con tribution toward combating juvenile delinquency. According to the local di rector, Child Evangelism seeks to serve the church by tion time after Phil Sword had converted one free throw. From there the hard pressing Owls got control on three oc casions and made the best of things. Nina Points al Half SOC had a nine point lead at halftime, 32-23, but the Owls quickly narrowed the margin to 38-36 on buckets by Layher, McKee and Norm Ol- iva with seven minutes gone in the second half. The Raiders managed to stay ahead and even moved out to a seven point gap at one time before they began to crumble. Even in the overtime SOC was cold, missing eight of 11 shots from the field McKee led all scorers with 24 while the Raider's Carri gan hit for 21 and SOC's Dave D'Olivo had 20. OTTs Paul Layher also hit for 20 Eiddington collected 17 for the Raiders. The Raiders outshot the Owls from the field with a .431 percentage to Oil's .395 but the Owls put the ball up more and hit 30 field goals to the Raiders' 28.

ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Washington Correspondent Washington - (Special) - Oregon's senators, Wayne More and Richard L. Neu- berger, .have become part of a newly formed politi cal bloc which many obser vers regard as p o t e n tially the strongest unit of voting iower in the ht smith current con gress. This is the group of western Democratic senators whose number was greatly augment ed by the results of last No vember's elections and the admission of Alaska as a state. Thev now outnumber the southern Democrats, the other regional bloc within the party which has long held a commanding position. After the new group was or- granized, with Sen. James E. Murray (D-Mont.), as cnair- man, the senators from two states that border the West asked to join. Since Sen. Lyn don B. Johnson (D-Tex.), the powerful leader of the Sen ate, was one of tnem, tne group was enlarged and made that much stronger im mediately. Representing 14 states -Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, New Mex ico, Texas and Oklahoma - the bloc has 23 Democratic senators. There are only five Republican senators from these states. The possible ad misison of Hawaii will in crease the number to 15. South Wields Authority The old South continues to wield great authority in the Senate through the seniority of many of its senators who are chairman of standing com mittees. But the West is gain ing. Of the 16 standing Sen ate committees, southern Sen ators head 9 of them, western senators head 6, and the only other chairmanship is held by a senator from Missouri. No committee is headed by senator from the most heavily populated sections, the North east or North central states.' While there is no doubt about the increased power of the western bloc, there is con siderable uncertainty over whether its power can be mo bilized except on rare occa sions. The reason for the un certainty is that western sen ators are divided on many issues. They are not expected to have the unity which has often characterized the sena tors from the "Solid South." About the only single issue the western bloc is "solid" on is federal spending they want more of it than the Ei senhower administr ation wants. They will be found among the advocates of in creased federal aid for air ports, housing, highways, schools. But this position does not distinguish them as western Democrats, ' for many Demo crats from eastern states take this same stand with equal vigor. United on Wafer Study The only distinctively "western" issue on which they have thus far demon strated unity is a proposal by Sen. Mike Mansfield (D Mont.), for creation of a Free Movie Program Slated lo Start A free movie program will begin at the Young Men's Christian association Satur day at 10 a.m. Any young ster may attend regardless of membership in the YMCA. "The Ghost of Zorro" is the title of the 12 installment serial to be shown. In addi tion to the feature show there also will be cartoons and edu cational films. Chairman of the free movie program at the YMCA is Miss Mimi Jones of Medford High school. She is assisted by the high school Shutterbug club. The movie program will be shown twice daily to assure boys and girls involved in the classes an opportunity to see the complete show. The program is possible ihrough the" support financial ly of Conger-Morris Funeral home.

But there is no unity on the wilderness bill, for example, on which Sen. - Neuberger held lengthy hearings last years in Washington, D.C, and in the western states. Lumber and cattle interests have criticized this proposal for reserving certain wild areas for future generations. As a consequence, when, the bill was reintroduced last week, only four members of WINNING EVENTS in North American Ski Championships at Squaw Valley, Calif., are Bud Werner (left), Steamboat Springs, Colo., and Linda Meyers, Bishop, Calif.

Its bargaining power is enormdus if only because its allegiance cannot be fore cast." - Just what the West will bargain for, other than in creased federal funds for a variety of programs and local projects, remains a mystery because the allegiance of its senators on strictly western issues cannot be forecast.
